Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Concubine Shu's Seven Days
Because a voodoo doll was found in Fengheju, even though Shen Qing only rested there for one night and the things were destroyed by the Queen herself, she was still very upset and told Ji Chen that she wanted to stay.
Ji Chen said: "I have asked someone to send your things over. Will you join me in the hot spring later?"
Shen Qing didn't need to look into Ji Chen's eyes, he could tell what he was thinking just by listening to his slightly raised tone.
Before I knew it, it was already evening, the moon was bright and the sky was blue.
Shen Qing thought that since this incident had just happened, it would not be appropriate to ride a horse or make noise tomorrow, so he nodded hesitantly.
This was a serious matter. Ji Chen lifted Shen Qing up and held him in his arms again.
Because he didn't say hello in advance, the situation suddenly rose and fell, and Shen Qing was so angry that he slapped him.
【I am happy! 】
Ji Chen was in high spirits and took Shen Qing to take a hot spring bath.
After the two entered the hot spring pool, they only wore a thin layer of clothes. The hot spring water made Shen Qing's skin pink and his eyes were misty.
Ji Chen was so pleased with this that he held her in his arms and kissed her for a long time.
Shen Qing was no longer able to use any strength. Her whole body was hanging on Ji Chen, with no other support. She lazily admired Ji Chen's masculine looks.
As she watched, she couldn't help but complain. Even though she knew what Ji Chen was thinking, sometimes she still couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Even if he did something, unless he really wanted her to find out and she was thinking about it all the time, then Shen Qing would hear his thoughts clearly. Ji Chen basically would not take other important matters to heart, so Shen Qing would have no way of knowing.
Yes, he is the emperor and has encountered countless things. Any one of them would be a big deal for others. If Ji Chen thinks of all these things when he is with her, he will be exhausted to death.
But it’s better this way, as it won’t lose the fun of getting along with each other.
Even if Shen Qing dared to guarantee that he was not the kind of person who got bored easily, he was not sure that he would get tired of Ji Chen after he really understood his thoughts.
Ji Chen's eyes were now fixed on the wine jug and wine glass beside him.
He turned his head and smiled at Shen Qing: "Ah Qing, let's have a drink."
[Speaking the truth after drinking is most effective on Qingqing. ]
Shen Qing chuckled and said unwillingly, "If Your Majesty wants to know something, you can just ask me directly. Why do you have to try to get me drunk?"
"Hmm?" Ji Chen's tone became uncertain. He stroked Shen Qing's back and asked, "My beloved concubine, do you know that you are drunk?"
Shen Qing opened her eyes slightly, her smile froze, and she wanted to get off Ji Chen, but found that he had grabbed her waist without her knowing when.
She wanted to cry but had no tears: "Please put me down... I want to soak in the pool for a while."
"I don't want to obey."
Ji Chen exerted a little force with his palm, and Shen Qing fell on him and couldn't get up. Fortunately, the water in the hot spring only reached her collarbone. A few strands of hair fell out of the bun tied with a hairpin and fell into the water, getting wet into several strands as she rose and fell.
Shen Qing stretched out his hand and pinched it: "I only remember a little bit."
Ji Chen asked curiously: "What do you remember?"
Shen Qing said confidently: "Remember you coaxed me and tricked me into saying something!"
Ji Chen nodded: "Then I remember everything."
Shen Qing: “?”
The process is completely wrong, but the conclusion is completely right.
Seeing Shen Qing remained silent, Ji Chen became more certain: "My beloved concubine really remembers everything. She is so bold. If that is the case, I will take it back today."
Shen Qing asked in confusion and in a low voice: "How do I ask for it?"
"Don't be afraid." Ji Chen stroked Shen Qing's back, reached out to get the wine, poured a small cup, propped up Shen Qing's chin with his fingers, fed her a little bit, and finally praised, "Good boy."
"I will definitely satisfy Qingqing tonight."
These were the words Shen Qing heard before her cheeks turned noticeably red, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
…
The moon set, the stars sank, and the eastern sun rose. Only then did Shen Qing fall into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was afternoon again.
Shen Qing slowly came to consciousness and opened her eyes after a while. She took a sip and licked her lips slightly, tasting a trace of remaining alcohol.
Last night, she drank more than one glass of wine. Every time she felt so shy that she was about to burn, Ji Chen would feed her a glass of wine.
The amount is not much and it can be dissipated by slight sweating.
She could feel that Ji Chen liked her boldness very much, and when she sobered up and remembered it, she became even more unscrupulous.
Ask this Qingqing if she likes it? What does that Ah Qing think?
Normally Shen Qing would ignore these questions as he felt embarrassed. Besides, after both of them forgot about love, they were left with only brute force, so who would think about these things carefully?
But last night, Ji Chen was very patient, and she dared to say anything after getting drunk, and was so sincere that it went so smoothly...
She went through cycles of drunkenness and sobriety, and she got a clear idea of what it felt like.
It was not until later that Ji Chen had to cover her mouth with his hand that he could continue.
Fortunately, he did this, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to see anyone today, and would be so angry that she would ignore Ji Chen for several days.
Shen Qing took a while to calm down before she stood up. A palace servant helped her wash and dress, and then she had dinner with Ji Chen who appeared.
It's almost time for dinner at this hour.
Ji Chen said: "Ji Can has gotten much better. He will probably be back to full health tomorrow."
As for dealing with a group of people, he would not tell Shen Qing so as not to disturb her interest.
He originally wanted to move the Wei family back to Beijing to deal with them, but the crimes listed on the paper Wang Ding presented were too numerous to list, and occupying farmland was already the most insignificant one.
Ji Chen did not delay and sent a trusted official and a team to investigate the case.
As for Concubine Yu, because of her meritorious service in exposing the crime, she was buried in a beautiful place in the Mountain Resort, but no one was sent to worship her every year.
Shen Qing listened and thought this was a good idea.
Beautiful people should be buried in beautiful places.
After dinner, Ji Chen was still not too sleepy, so he went to handle some chores while Shen Qing held the cat and practiced his arm strength.
-
The incident involving Concubine Yu and Concubine Yan caused a big stir, and it took a long time for the rumors to die down. A group of people died before the Summer Palace returned to its former peace.
Therefore, the concubines were quiet for a while.
That day, Concubine Chu wanted to see her mother, Madam Chu, so she went to find the Queen.
The Queen thought of the Chu family and asked the Emperor for permission to arrange a meeting between Madam Chu and Concubine Chu.
Madam Chu walked into Concubine Chu's Fuxiang Pavilion. Concubine Chu wanted to go forward to help her, but was frozen in place by a glance from Madam Chu.
After Madam Chu completed her formalities, Concubine Chu helped her sit down.
Chu Bin's mother is no longer young, and there are strands of white hair mixed in her combed hair.
Before Concubine Chu could speak, Madam Chu said, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, especially since you have entered the royal family, you must know that your words and actions must be in accordance with the requirements of the royal concubines."
Concubine Chu said obediently, "Yes, mother."
Mrs. Chu then relaxed her expression.
This time, it was not that Concubine Chu wanted to take the initiative to see Madam Chu, but Madam Chu had delivered the letter early. Concubine Chu had never disobeyed her family, so she naturally went to find the Queen.
Concubine Chu asked: "Mother wants to see her daughter, is there something wrong at home?"
Madam Chu said, "There is nothing going on at home. Your father and brother asked me to ask you, my lady, whether Concubine De has been doing her best for you."
Concubine Chu nodded and said, "My daughter's status in the palace is all thanks to Concubine De."
"Then why is there no good news for such a long time?"
Concubine Chu was stunned and was about to answer, but she found that her mother didn't need her to speak.
Madam Chu said to herself, "It seems that Concubine De has been slacking off on you. If that's the case, the Chu family doesn't have to help the Li family, Concubine De, and the Third Prince wholeheartedly."
Madam Chu looked at Concubine Chu deeply, but Concubine Chu looked around and saw that only the maid she brought from the Chu family into the palace was left. Her heartbeat slowed down.
"Mother, when I entered the palace, you told me to listen to Concubine De, and I obeyed. Now that Concubine De is in a good situation, why did you change your mind?"
"Among the three princes, only the third prince is the most calm and has the demeanor of the emperor in the past. In this case, why would he betray Concubine De?"
Mrs. Chu's expression remained unchanged. She knew that Qiu Niang had been in the palace for a long time and her personality had changed. She even dared to disobey her family and had learned to question.
She said, "Back then, I told you to listen to Concubine De because the Li and Chu families had reached a cooperation agreement. You gave birth to a prince and he was raised by Concubine De. However, you were too incompetent. You have been favored for more than a year but no news came out. Instead, Concubine Li gave birth to the third prince for Concubine De. In this case, even if the third prince ascends the throne, he has no blood relationship with the Chu family. For Concubine De, the Chu family is just icing on the cake. It doesn't matter and she can abandon it at will."
"If that's the case, why does the Chu family still want to help the Third Prince?"
Concubine Chu said with a headache: "Concubine De did not express this meaning."
Didn't she want to get pregnant? But no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get pregnant.
Mrs. Chu didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face turned cold: "Although Concubine De didn't do that, the Li family looked down on the Chu family."
Concubine Chu finally understood where the problem lay. Her parents and brothers were all extremely arrogant people. Being treated like this, they naturally disdained the Li family and even wanted to urgently raise another prince to fight with the third prince.
But how easy is this?
Concubine Chu frowned: "Aren't you afraid of revenge from the Li family?"
Madam Chu sneered: "The Chu family is not afraid of the Li family."
The Li family is not as highly regarded by the emperor as the Chu family in the court. The Li family only relies on its profound foundation.
Now that the Third Prince has not yet accomplished anything, the Li Family dares to treat the Chu Family with disrespect. If the Third Prince is fortunate enough to ascend the throne in the future, won’t the Li Family step on the Chu Family’s head?
The Chu family cannot tolerate this.
Seeing that she could not persuade her mother, Concubine Chu could only say, "Mother, you came to see me. I guess you have a favorite prince?"
Madam Chu relaxed her expression and nodded, "The eldest prince is both the legitimate heir and the eldest son. The Xiao family has few members in the court. They desperately need the Chu family. In addition, the queen and the concubine are on good terms. The concubine has no children, so she will definitely support the eldest prince."
Concubine Chu asked solemnly, "What if Concubine Shu has a child?"
"That depends on the relationship between Qiu Niang and Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu has no family support behind her..."
After seeing Madam Chu off, Concubine Chu sat alone for a while. She had been very obedient since she was young, because obedient children would be rewarded, such as a hairband, a beautiful dress, or a pony.
Therefore, Concubine Chu never thought of disobeying the Chu family's wishes. She murmured, "I will go to the hunting ground in a while. Concubine Shu likes riding horses."
Concubine Chu had been in contact with Concubine De for a long time and knew that the Third Prince Ji Cheng had been intelligent since childhood and could not be suppressed by the First Prince.
Ji Can and Ji Cheng are just a whetstone.
The only way to ensure that the Chu family's expectations would not be dashed is that Concubine Shu becomes pregnant, and the prince she gives birth to is not so mediocre, and the Emperor insists on making Concubine Shu's son the crown prince.
