Chapter 73 Meeting Concubine Yu Again
Although she said she was taking a walk, she didn't walk too far. After the renovation of Zhaohua Palace, Shen Qing hadn't taken a close look at it yet, so she walked around Zhaohua Palace. After walking for a while, she saw Xiao Quanzi talking to a new eunuch outside.
Now that Chen Qing is a noble lady, the number of servants has increased from two to six. Because she originally had two servants in the palace and Xiao Quanzi, the Ministry of Internal Affairs transferred three more people over, including two palace maids and one eunuch. Chen Qing is still served by Chunhua and Fangyun.
Because there were two new palace maids, they were not as busy as before, and the same was true for Xiao Quanzi.
Since Chen Qing came back, he was grateful to him for reporting the news that day, so he rewarded him and asked him to stay. Now Xiao Quanzi is a formal member of Zhaohua Palace.
"Greetings to the nobleman." Xiao Quanzi saluted Shen Qing.
Shen Qing saw that he was actually digging the ground behind him: "What are you doing?"
Little Quanzi smiled in a simple and honest way. He was not very old, only about fifteen years old. He said, "I plan to plant a patch of flowers here. When they grow up and bloom lushly, they will add a touch of brightness to Zhaohua Palace."
Chen Qing thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, but most servants in the harem would never think of planting flowers: "I didn't expect Xiao Quanzi to be someone who knows how to live." It's quite romantic.
He made a swing earlier and planted flowers today. When Shen Qing asked him to bring the storybook out of the palace, he did a good job. He was really thoughtful.
Shen Qing asked: "What kind of flower seeds are you sowing?"
"My lord, this is a night-falling gold coin. I am not very good at taking care of it. It does not require any care. Just water and fertilize it. It will bloom in clusters and look beautiful. I have heard from people in my hometown that this flower is auspicious and has the meaning of a goddess throwing gold coins on a moonlit night."
Chen Qing nodded, feeling uncomfortable standing for so long, and was about to sit down nearby. Xiao Quanzi hurried over and stretched out his arm for Chen Qing to hold.
Chen Qing smiled at the dug soil, and then looked at the new eunuch. They were all selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't know if they have been instructed. The new eunuch is not very old and looks younger than Xiao Quanzi. She said, "You will follow Xiao Quanzi more in the future."
This means that Xiao Quanzi is now the chief eunuch of Zhaohua Palace.
The young eunuch knelt down quickly and said, "Yes."
Xiao Quanzi also knelt down: "Thank you very much, my lord."
Shen Qing shook his head: "That's how it should be."
Suddenly Xiao Quanzi said, "I have something to ask of you."
Shen Qing was a little surprised: “You say.”
Xiao Quanzi kowtowed to Shen Qing: "The slave would like to ask the master to give me a name."
Shen Qing paused, feeling something in his heart.
When Chunhua and Fangyun came, she did not change their names. Some people who were particular would change their names to mean that from now on you are a servant in my palace, which means that the servant should not look down on other families.
But Shen Qing thinks that you are loyal, is it because you changed your name that you are loyal?
So Xiao Quanzi asked her to give him a name to show his loyalty.
Since he mentioned it, Shen Qing would not refuse, so he simply bent down and asked him to stand up: "What was your original last name?"
"My original name is Wang, and I am the sixth child in my family. My parents call me the Sixth Son."
"Then you can call me Wang Lu from now on. It will make you feel more intimate."
Wang Lu thanked him immediately. He was really happy. After entering the palace, he severed all ties with his family and had no descendants. Now that he was still called by this name, he felt like he was still connected to his family and was not rootless and wandering around.
His surname is still Wang now.
It seems like going back to the beginning.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu's eyes were actually filled with tears. He quickly hid his thoughts, as it was embarrassing.
After coming out, he was given a name. Chunhua and Fangyun couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency is biased. You changed Wang Lu's name, but our names have never been changed."
These words were said by Chunhua. She has always been steady and it was rare for her to make such a request, and she actually seemed a bit coquettish.
Chen Qing smiled in surprise: "Chunhua is still jealous of Wang Lu, your names are really nice, there is no need to change them, and what I call you is smooth."
Fang Yun next to her was not to be outdone: "Your Excellency is partial."
Chen Qing made them laugh, and they were chatting and laughing, which was quite lively. In the end, Chunhua and Fangyun's names were not changed.
Now that Chen Qing is able to take a walk, she is going to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Queen. Tomorrow is a good time.
She still got up early and then walked slowly towards Fengyi Palace.
She was still the first one to arrive, nothing different from before. The only difference was that Concubine Yu had come, and this time she came to pay her respects very early!
Shen Qing met Concubine Yu and she stood still for a moment.
Concubine Yu's eyes almost turned red when she looked at Chen Qing. Although Chen Qing had lost some weight in the past few days, his features had become more delicate, and he looked even more fragile and graceful. She watched Chen Qing bow to her politely, and then, without waiting for her to say anything, he went into Fengyi Palace by himself.
She gritted her teeth, what rules!
"Has Lady Xi become arrogant because of her promotion to a noble?"
Shen Qing paused, turned back and sneered: "I dare not."
Concubine Yu could still be accused of being arrogant because of her favor, but she really didn't dare to do so and she felt ashamed to accept it.
"you……"
Shen Qing interrupted her and looked at Concubine Yu expressionlessly: "I have performed the ceremony. It is your business whether you accept it or not. I am not fully recovered yet. If something happens to me later, it will be your fault. Don't you agree?"
"You! You..." Concubine Yu was so angry that she was about to die.
Shen Qing interrupted her again: "Your Majesty, if you continue, I will be disrespectful."
If politeness wasn't a rule, she wouldn't even do this clumsy courtesy.
Xuanyuan Ling warned her not to rush to plot against her now, but she could forget about getting a good look from him, because everyone in the palace knew that they had a grudge against each other.
When she said this, Concubine Yu suddenly remembered the time when Shen Qing vomited blood and wanted to strangle her to death. She had not slept well these days and had dreams all night long. In her dreams, it was either the emperor's cold eyes or Shen Qing's murderous look. She was exhausted and her head ached.
Concubine Yu had such a bad temper that if Shen Qing dared to treat her like this, she would have asked someone to teach her a lesson long ago, but after Shen Qing finished speaking, he turned around and entered Fengyi Palace. She was so angry: “How insolent.”
Wan Zhao was wiping his sweat, fearing that Concubine Yu could no longer hold back.
It's really a bad time now. The Emperor doesn't like Concubine Yu these days and the Empress has been reprimanding her. He is afraid of it, but he still has to coax Concubine Yu. It's really difficult.
