Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Concubine Chen's Ten Days
Ji Can opened his clear eyes and moved his gaze from Shen Qing to the Queen: "I still want to eat cakes."
It’s so scary...but I don’t seem to be that scared of my mother anymore.
The queen waved to Ji Can hurriedly. These few days, the queen heard that the eldest prince was in danger, and she loved him even more than before. She would give Ji Can a whole plate of cakes that she had not allowed him to eat too much before.
After Ji Can finished eating the cakes, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief folded into a square. As usual, he asked about the queen's health and whether she had taken her medicine on time. Then he put the queen's hand on his cheek and rubbed it, and then left with the palace servants.
As soon as Ji Can left, Shen Qing was scolded.
The queen gently scolded: "Why are you telling him this? He is still a child. He will understand these things when he grows up."
God knows her heart was about to jump out of her throat just now. It was also thanks to Ji Can that this child was slow, otherwise she would not know how to end it.
Shen Qing smiled flatteringly: "Don't be angry, I am afraid that the eldest prince will be alienated from you, and it will be difficult to remedy the situation later, so it is better to let me be the scheming person now."
What's the point of hiding this kind of thing? It's better to speak out. The eldest prince has grown up in this kind of environment. Don't think of him as a little white rabbit. Even if Can'er is a little white rabbit, a pair of rabbit teeth can break a person's bones.
"Besides, Can'er is not a child anymore. He will be seven years old after his birthday this year. When his companion from outside the palace comes to live with him, he will have his own thoughts."
Shen Qing had heard from Ji Chen about Ji Can's study companionship, and that a young man of the right age from a minister's family had been selected at the beginning of the year.
The Queen naturally had an impression of this matter. One of her study companions was a nephew of the Xiao family. The Xiao family was not strong in the previous dynasty, so she naturally wanted to pave a way for the next generation of the Xiao family.
The queen stopped talking and just continued to grind her teeth at the dead Concubine Li.
In her heart, she had already demonized Li Concubine, and thought that she was plotting to destroy her reputation just to alienate her son from her.
After staying in Kunning Palace for so long, Shen Qing missed Ji Chen and Xiaoman very much.
In addition, she couldn't stand staying by the queen's side any longer and urgently needed to absorb some yang energy, so after the queen was no longer in any serious condition, she returned to Chengqian Palace.
Qinggu's condition was also improving, but her injuries were more serious and she would need to stay in bed longer.
On the afternoon of the day after visiting Qinggu, Shen Qing went to the Qianqing Palace.
When I went there, Xiaoman was sleeping. The ice mirror was placed not far away, and a palace servant was fanning her slowly. Xiaoman was sleeping soundly and there was no sweat on his forehead.
Just as Shen Qing was looking at Xiaoman silently, an arm wrapped around her waist.
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even notice when Ji Chen appeared behind her.
Shen Qing placed her hand on Ji Chen's hand that was holding her waist, slightly turned her face, and looked at Ji Chen with bright eyes.
Her eyes swept across Ji Chen's brow and deep eyes, slid across his high nose bridge, and finally stopped on his thin lips.
"Let's go out." Ji Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her, whispering.
Shen Qing nodded, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
Ji Chen took Shen Qing to another room. This room was a little smaller. The only thing worth mentioning was the big bed. But Shen Qing saw some things she had used and a bronze mirror and dressing table placed on the side of the screen.
Before Ji Chen opened his mouth, Shen Qing said, "I miss you so much."
Ji Chen was dissatisfied and asked, "Why didn't you come to see me for so long?"
Shen Qing's eyes shifted slightly: "Hmm... Your Majesty's lips seem to be very kissable, let me have a taste."
They are an old married couple, so she won't blush or feel nervous when hearing these words. She can even take the initiative to kiss him.
Ji Chen leaned on the bed and held Shen Qing's waist, while Shen Qing threw himself into his arms and licked his lips like a kitten.
Ji Chen's throat was dry, his eyes softened, and he was enjoying the tempting taste with great impatience.
Even though Shen Qing took the initiative, his movements were very gentle, nourishing him like a gentle breeze and drizzle.
Ji Chen was naturally unsatisfied, his heart was itching, but Shen Qing's closeness seemed to tickle his heart through a hood.
Ji Chen endured it again and again, but he really couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned from passive to active, holding the back of Shen Qing's head, sitting up little by little, and the kiss gradually deepened with the movement.
Shen Qing had already closed his eyes, and inserted his fingers into Ji Chen's hair, rubbing it gently.
It seems like encouragement, but also like expressing longing.
Ji Chen's breathing became heavier and he kissed down little by little.
Shen Qing's eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes, lowered her gaze to look at him, and then ignored everything.
In the warm room, the man kept calling Qingqing tirelessly. The woman's face flushed and she looked unbearable. She pushed his cheek and finally whispered, "I hate you so much."
Ji Chen chuckled: "Qingqing is right to hate it."
He took Shen Qing's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it.
Shen Qing looked at him. At this moment, Ji Chen looked a little more charming, his eyes were deeper and gentler, but he still looked very serious, his aura was undiminished. But it was precisely because of this that she felt her heart pounding.
However, after some time without their affection, she started to miss Ji Chen so much.
Now that we are together, I really feel refreshed, not only physically but also mentally.
It was like there was sweat on Ji Chen's cheeks and a layer of wet sweat on her neck, but they still cuddled together without disdain, just quietly putting their faces together and leaning on each other's necks, and it felt good.
Shen Qing snuggled in Ji Chen's arms and fell asleep.
After waking up, she was no longer in the original room, but on the dragon couch in the bedroom. She was dry and Ji Chen had changed her into a silver-white nightgown.
And Xiaoman was actually held in his arms by her side, taking a nap between the two of them.
Shen Qing glanced at the sky and it was already very late.
Ji Chen opened his eyes when he felt the noise, and lowered his voice so as not to wake Xiaoman up, saying, "Xiaoman has already woken up once. I took her to have dinner, and then played for a while before she went to sleep."
"You must be hungry now. I will take you to dinner."
Shen Qing smiled and nodded, then stood up quietly.
However, when getting out of bed, Xiaoman suddenly muttered something and waved his little hands twice.
Before Shen Qing had the chance to coax Xiaoman, he saw Ji Chen patting Xiaoman's back skillfully. Xiaoman rubbed his chubby cheeks and fell asleep again.
When Ji Chen turned around, he met Shen Qing's sparkling eyes.
She didn't think he was losing his dignity, but was impressed by him instead.
Ji Chen thought so and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
Shen Qing smiled and took Ji Chen's hand and went to have dinner.
She really didn't expect that Ji Chen was so skilled in taking care of Xiaoman. It seemed as if Ji Chen was the one who took care of Xiaoman during the days she stayed in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
With such a father, she believed that her Xiaoman would be the happiest princess.
After dinner, Shen Qing and Ji Chen stayed outside the bedroom for a while before going back.
The next day, when Ji Chen opened his eyes, he saw Shen Qing and Xiaoman, and he felt his heart was filled.
He likes this ordinary daily life, where he can see the two people he loves as soon as he opens his eyes.
Xiaoman kicked her legs and was the second one to wake up. She looked at her mother, then at her father, and covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Ji Chen was afraid that Xiaoman would disturb Shen Qing's sleep, so he took Xiaoman with him when he went to the morning court.
Only after returning did he put Xiaoman next to Shen Qing.
He wanted Shen Qing to feel happy when she woke up.
Xiaoman was no longer sleepy. After kissing her mother on the cheek, she started playing on the bed by herself. With Ji Chen blocking the bed, she would not fall.
Xiaoman crawled into Shen Qing's arms when the sun rose completely. Shen Qing, who was half asleep and half awake, patted her butt, opened his sleepy eyes, hugged Xiaoman, and kissed the corner of Ji Chen's lips with a comfortable smile.
His eyes were full of satisfaction that Xiaoman could not detect any intimacy.
【Poor and lovely.】
I love it.
Shen Qing translated it automatically, a blush appeared on her face, she glanced at him coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "Isn't the emperor going to review the memorials?"
Ji Chen said reluctantly: "I'll go right away."
Ji Chen left under Shen Qing's urging gaze, and Shen Qing and Xiaoman also stood up.
Xiaoman was very satisfied with her new residence and took Shen Qing to see her new playmate, a big cat named Dahu!
Shen Qing devoted all his attention to Xiaoman. He hadn't seen this cat for several months. Dahu had become much fatter than before, but the palace servants who raised cats knew how to restrain themselves. Even though Dahu was spoiled, he had no health problems and was not seriously fat. Instead, he looked more imposing and cute.
After being kept in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for a long time, even the cats have acquired a sense of nobility.
Dahu is usually indifferent to other people and is very arrogant, but maybe he knows Xiaoman's status, he meows at Xiaoman all the time, acts cute and coquettishly, and turns over his belly for Xiaoman to touch.
When he saw Shen Qing, he gave her a slap on the butt instead, sweeping his tail around, as if a heartless man was coming.
Shen Qing touched his nose, feeling guilty, and played with Dahu for a while.
Dahu then gave Xiaoman a good look, saying one thing and doing another, and continued to be a qualified playmate for Xiaoman.
Shen Qing smiled when he saw this. Cats will become intelligent if you raise them for a long time.
Shen Qing took Xiaoman to stay in the Qianqing Palace for another half a day before returning to Chengqian Palace. Before leaving, Xiaoman pouted and was very reluctant, nestling in Shen Qing's arms feeling very aggrieved.
Shen Qing looked at Ji Chen helplessly.
Ji Chen coughed lightly and followed him to Chengqian Palace.
He had dealt with all his political affairs in the morning, all for this moment, and Xiaoman was very considerate of him, worthy of being his little princess.
In the end, Shen Qing didn't even dare to forget Da Hu, and took him away with him, as if he was taking his entire family with him.
Qinggu's health improved day by day, but she could no longer lift heavy objects and her body was weaker than that of ordinary people. Shen Qing bought her a house outside the palace, hired a maid, and asked the Shen family to take care of Qinggu secretly.
Only then did he feel at ease to send Qinggu out of the palace.
On the day Qinggu left the palace, in addition to Shen Qing, Qingyu and Xuancao also came to see him off. Because the Queen claimed to be ill, she did not come, but she did ask Qingyu to bring a bag of gold, silver and jewelry to Qinggu.
The queen naturally wanted to keep Qinggu by her side, but the emperor had said in public that day that he would confer the title of county princess on Qinggu, and it was a golden word that could not be taken back, so she let Qinggu go with trepidation.
Qinggu knew all her secrets. The queen was naturally afraid of him, but she could only hope to silence Qinggu with the money that ordinary people could hardly earn in several lifetimes.
Qing Gu was naturally loyal, and even to Shen Qing, he did not make any promises that if he wanted to overthrow the queen, he would look for her...
The relationship between master and servant is difficult to explain.
Ever since Shen Qing started helping Qinggu, she never thought that Qinggu would betray the Queen to help her. This was undoubtedly an insult to Qinggu, so naturally there was nothing to be ashamed of.
Qinggu looked at Shen Qing deeply. How could she have thought that the little girl who was on duty with her would be the one to pull her out of the quagmire?
At the palace gate, she kowtowed to Shen Qing despite all dissuasion, then got into the carriage and left, looking back every few steps.
Now that the matter was settled, Shen Qing felt relieved.
Although she couldn't leave the palace, it would be great if someone could leave the palace on her behalf.
Qingyu looked at Qinggu's carriage with a lost look until he could no longer see it. Then he came back to his senses. When Shen Qing was about to leave, he said thoughtfully, "My Lady, I will keep an eye on the harem for you. If there is anything that is not good for Chengqian Palace, I will pass on the news to you."
Qingyu was a female official of a very high rank, so naturally she didn't need to call herself a slave.
Shen Qing suddenly realized that Qingyu and Qinggu had a very good relationship, so it was not surprising that they made such a promise.
She sighed, "Thank you."
Xuancao pretended not to hear the conversation between the two and lowered her eyes as if she was deaf, but for some reason, her eyes were wet.
When Concubine Chen has time, she doesn't make friends with sisters with good family backgrounds, but instead reaches out to these two old friends.
I really don’t know what to say.
