Chapter 119 Chapter 119 A Day with the Imperial Concubine
Shen Qing was so pissed off by Ji Chen that she bit him twice viciously before she felt relieved. Finally, she looked at the small beads of blood flowing from the corners of Ji Chen's lips, feeling a little guilty, and licked them into her mouth in a flattering manner.
She held Ji Chen's face, and finally it was as Ji Chen wished.
But the sound is still small.
But just with this, Ji Chen felt very satisfied and excited, as if he had drunk some wine, and was even a little drunk.
He looked at Shen Qing in fascination, leaned over, and crushed the sound between their lips.
Shen Qing put his hands on Ji Chen's shoulders, and Ji Chen put his hands on Shen Qing's waist, leaned forward, and chased the corners of Shen Qing's lips.
The atmosphere between the two of them had already become blushing and heart-pounding.
It seemed as if the seven-year itch did not exist for the two of them at all. They just got to know each other better and knew what the other was going to do with just a glance.
Over the years, the relationship has remained consistent.
…
"I've given you all my good things, and you still say bad things about me. I feel so wronged."
There was mist in Shen Qing's eyes. They had already rolled into the bed. Hearing this dirty talk, she was so angry that she hit Ji Chen twice.
Although he was hit more times today than in the previous few months, Ji Chen was very happy. He became ruthless and forgot about love.
This morning the sky was clear and cloudless, but in the afternoon it became overcast and it started to rain without any warning.
It was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside the palace.
-
The rain stopped at night. When Xiaoman woke up, he saw that it was still raining, so he listened to his nanny and did not go to find his father and mother. He just played by himself.
It was not until mealtime that she was carried to her mother.
Xiaoman was surprised to find that the two people who were originally strange and angry had become like one again, except that their clothes had changed and the lip balm on their mother's lips was gone.
Shen Qing touched Xiaoman's face and asked gently, "What did Xiaoman do this afternoon?"
Xiaoman sniffed the clean, light scent of incense on his mother's body like a puppy. Every time his father and mother stayed together for a long time, his mother, who didn't need incense, would have someone light incense in the house.
She answered her mother's questions while distracting herself.
Ji Chen came closer and listened quietly. After listening, he picked up Xiaoman and threw her into the air.
Xiaoman liked such sudden actions, and her clear laughter echoed in the room.
Shen Qing looked at the father and daughter with a smile.
At this moment, even time was gentle, and the candlelight sprinkled on the three people with favor.
A few days later, Ji Chen took back the power of assisting in managing the six palaces from Concubine Xian and sent it to Jingren Palace, to Chu Zhaorong. Chu Zhaorong was also given the title of Concubine Chu.
As for the second prince's destination, it had not yet been decided. Ji Chen thought about it and decided that Ji Min was already grown up and had moved into the princes' palace, so he did not choose a mother for him.
This also means that the second prince has no outside family to rely on. The He family held low-ranking positions in the previous dynasty, so even if they wanted to support the second prince, they did not have the power to do so.
As for the Yan family of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian, from the moment Ji Chen drew a clear line between the Second Prince and Concubine Xian, he would not allow the Yan family to become the support of the Second Prince.
If the Yan family wants to make a move, he doesn't mind chopping them off.
Fortunately, the Yan family is currently behaving law-abidingly.
In October, before the weather gets really cold.
Ji Chen took Shen Qing and Xiaoman out of the secondary palace, but this time they did not go to the Shen family, but went to the National Temple in disguise.
“This temple is the most effective place for praying and drawing fortunes.”
Because the Empress Dowager was a Buddhist, temples in the capital were very popular, and the National Temple was no exception.
"Your Majesty, don't you believe it?" Shen Qing was a little confused.
The Empress Dowager believed in Buddhism in order to downplay the sins of murder she committed when she was young. As the Empress Dowager's son and the emperor, Ji Chen was naturally better in this regard. However, unlike the Empress Dowager, Ji Chen did not believe in these things.
He naturally thought that he had killed those who should be killed and executed those who should be executed, and as an emperor, how could he be guilty? If he was not guilty, why should he ask the gods and Buddhas for forgiveness?
Shen Qing didn't believe these either. Although she remembered her memories of her past life, she believed more that everything depends on human efforts.
Ji Chen held Shen Qing's hand and said, "Life is too short. I want to have an afterlife with you."
Shen Qing looked at Ji Chen. She didn't expect that Ji Chen could speak sweet words so easily. She was pleased and the corners of her lips curled up.
She said, "Then I will pray for your majesty and Xiaoman to live a long and healthy life. I have a narrow vision, but I hope that in this life, when your majesty's hair turns gray, you can still watch with me as groups of children run towards you from afar, and their grandparents call out to us."
"Definitely." Ji Chen's voice was particularly firm.
Shen Qing laughed out loud, and Xiaoman hugged Shen Qing's legs: "Xiaoman also wants to grow old with father and mother, don't leave Xiaoman behind."
Shen Qing picked her up and nodded heavily.
Even though Ji Chen went to the National Temple in disguise, there were not many people in the temple when they arrived.
They drew lots and prayed with great piety.
Shen Qing picked up the fortune stick and it was an excellent one.
The already wonderful mood became even better.
After returning to the palace, a few days later, the imperial physician came to check Ping'an's pulse.
Shen Qing saw that the imperial physician's face was slightly tense and he was reluctant to lift his hand to feel the pulse, so he asked, "What's wrong with me? You can tell me."
"Your humble servant is not very skilled... Your Majesty's pulse seems to be slippery, but you are too young, so I dare not make a definite statement."
After the false pregnancy incident, the imperial physician was naturally extremely cautious in dealing with Concubine Chen: "But I am 70% sure about this. If your Majesty wants to be safe, you might as well summon the imperial physician to take her pulse."
Shen Qing clenched her hands unconsciously. Is she pregnant again?
When the baby was still young, they were not in a hurry to get pregnant again, so they tried the same old trick again, but they did not take any measures in the past few months.
But they were not the kind of people who would get pregnant every time, so they were prepared to let nature take its course.
I didn't expect to get pregnant at this time.
That means they were actually a family of four when they went to the temple to pray.
Shen Qing felt very surprised and gently placed his hand on the abdomen where nothing could be seen.
"No hurry. Come back in a few days to check the pulse again. Once you are absolutely sure, you can do it again, so that the emperor won't be disappointed."
The imperial physician said yes and received the reward silver from Bai Tao.
Although Shen Qing said this to the imperial physician, she had a vague feeling that she was pregnant, so she didn't let Ji Chen touch her for the next few days.
This made Ji Chen look at her with a ghostly face, feeling extremely depressed. On the other hand, Shen Qing looked extremely healthy, with a rosy face, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
When the imperial physician came to take the pulse again, Ji Chen was there too. He said quickly, "Check on the imperial concubine."
At such a young age, how could you not be passionate about that?
Is there something wrong with my body?
When Ji Chen thought of this possibility, his face became filled with worry.
The imperial physician hurried forward to feel Shen Qing's pulse, and Shen Qing glanced at Ji Chen with interest.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine Chen has a pulse of pregnancy. She has been pregnant for a month!" This imperial physician was still the same imperial physician as last time, but his face was wrinkled with smile in a moment.
"Hmm?" Ji Chen's expression gradually brightened up. He looked at Shen Qing in disbelief, "We have another child?"
Shen Qing smiled and looked at him: "Yes, the imperial physician diagnosed it a few days ago, but the pulse was not accurate due to the short period of pregnancy, so I did not let the imperial physician make it public."
Ji Chen was so happy that he realized it later and said with a little resentment on his face: "You have been teasing me again these days."
The only person in the world who dared to tease him was Shen Qing, and he couldn't do anything about her.
But he was very happy in his heart.
Shen Qing: "Your Majesty's reaction is very interesting."
He was obviously unable to bear it, but he suppressed it obediently after hearing her words, without even giving her a chance to find an excuse.
She thought about it and felt that this was the love that Ji Chen could show.
You can put rare treasures in front of her and treat her gently.
At the beginning, Shen Qingke couldn't even imagine that Ji Chen would be like this, but now, she is getting more and more accustomed to Ji Chen's attitude towards her.
Ji Chen took Shen Qing's hand and put it on his face, then he put away his smile and said seriously, "Thank you for your hard work, Qingqing."
Shen Qing touched his face and made a wish: "I hope this child will be like Xiaoman and won't bother me."
It is certainly hard work, but she is in good health, and if the pregnancy goes well, perhaps she will only have to suffer the pain of childbirth.
Shen Qing was pregnant, and Ji Chen was so happy that he rewarded the imperial physician and the palace maids of the two palaces on the spot.
Afterwards, Ji Chen returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and immediately drafted an edict to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Shen Qing.
He couldn't wait even a moment to promote Shen Qing to the position of Imperial Noble Consort, and was not even willing to wait until the day she gave birth to a royal heir.
The imperial edict was issued, but the ceremony had to be held after Shen Qing's pregnancy was stable. Fortunately, she had experience and continued to reward the palace maids of Chengqian Palace in an orderly manner.
Her palace maids treated her wholeheartedly, and she would reward them every year and during festivals. Now that she had such a good excuse to reward them, she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't reward them.
Bai Tao looked at Imperial Noble Consort Chen in fascination, and felt that nothing could sound better than the word "appreciation" spoken by the Imperial Noble Consort. In a trance, she felt that there was a golden light on the Empress' body.
Shen Qing took the imperial edict and admired it slowly. This was the Imperial Noble Consort, who had the same rank as the Vice Empress.
When she entered the palace, she didn't even dare to think about becoming a senior maid in the Imperial Noble Consort's palace, but now she has become an Imperial Noble Consort.
Her heart was filled with excitement. She stroked the imperial edict with her hand and admired it for a long time before letting someone put it away.
Three months passed quickly. Shen Qing only felt sleepy in the first few days, and other than that he had no discomfort. He was a good child just like Xiaoman.
This time she was to be conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort. The ceremony was unprecedentedly grand, but no one dared to tire her out, and Shen Qing completed the process very easily.
Shen Qing ascended to a high position, and the Shen family naturally did not lag behind, as the gap was too great.
Shen Xiuxiu's caravan has been expanding and going further and further. Although the Shen family is not as rich as a country, in the capital, Shen Xiuxiu can be called the richest person.
Rongmei chose a good man to get married. She finally got together with the person she liked back then.
Wanmei is still devoted to mountains and rivers, and there is no sign of any progress.
The next spring, Shen's father and Shen Xiaoxiao participated in the imperial examination as candidates. Both of them successfully obtained fame and became tribute scholars. In April of the same year, they participated in the palace examination. Shen Xiaoxiao, who had been preparing for many years, won the position of Tanhua in one fell swoop.
Lu Yungui, who is a close friend of Shen Xiaoxiao, won the second place.
Shen Qing once again remembered the younger brother of the heroine in the original book. Knowing that he was capable, he did not interfere with his relationship with Wanmei.
With her around, she is enough to support Wanmei.
Moreover, the daughter of the Shen family can always stand up for herself and not be bullied at any time.
In that case, if Wanmei likes Lu Yungui, why not give it a try?
Shen Qing is due to give birth at the end of June, and as her belly grows bigger, the day is getting closer.
Just like the time when he was pregnant with Xiaoman, Ji Chen became nervous again.
