At night, the palace lanterns are lit and it is time for dinner.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Le Wen sat on a small chair and ate rice soaked in abalone sauce.

Xuan Ling asked, "Where is the general?"

Eunuch Fu said respectfully, "In reply to the Emperor, at noon, the Concubine Chen sent someone to take the young master away."

Xuan Ling snorted coldly. She was quite sensible.

Looking at the table full of beautifully presented and colorful delicacies, I had no appetite at all.

Lewen whispered:

"Father, I want to follow Jiang Jiang and live in Guanju Palace. Queen Chen tells wonderful stories and can even imitate the bleating of a lamb!"

Xuan Ling was disappointed. I also wanted to go with them, but they didn't want me to go. What was the point of going?

The woman was thinking about her ex-husband and just hoped to reconcile with him.

When I met him, he was just perfunctory and acting.

He just wanted to have better food, clothes and other things, so was he being taken advantage of?!

He turned around and said with a gloomy face:

"Lewin, you have some potential.

If you're not married yet, be reserved to show your worth. Don't rush into it, or you'll just make people look down on you. Do you understand?"

Le Wen seemed to understand, but not quite.

"Father, what do you mean by 'rushing to post'?"

My father is just like this. He has been doing this for almost two years. I’ve had enough. I will never be taken advantage of again.

"What I mean is that you shouldn't just think about coaxing Jiang Jiang, but also occasionally throw a tantrum and let him coax you."

Lewen tilted his head.

"But every time I cry, Jiangjiang always says, 'Why are you crying? I hate noise the most!'"

Xuan Ling pursed his lips and smiled, "My son has imitated me quite well."

"That's the wrong method, figure it out yourself.

It has always been others who cater to the emperor, and the emperor cannot teach you this."

"Oh, daughter, I understand."

Xuan Ling picked out seven or eight dishes, and the palace maids in the imperial kitchen knelt on the ground before they finally finished their dinner.

"Get out of here! If you keep making dishes that make me lose my appetite, I'll go to Xinzheku!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. I will immediately lead my team to develop a new recipe overnight and guarantee that it will satisfy Your Majesty."

Le Wen pulled Xuan Ling and said childishly:

"Father, I want to sleep with you tonight and not let other women sleep with you."

Xuan Ling took the tea and washed Long Gou, then glanced at her coldly.

"Did your mother ask you to do this? Tell her not to forget her duty and not to be jealous."

Lewen was timid and was almost crying with fear, because his father's expression was too fierce.

I clearly learned it from Jiang Jiang, so why wouldn’t it work?

Xuan Ling saw her tears and softened his voice.

"Le Wen, the emperor is busy with important matters. Go back and play with Le Yun. Haven't you seen her in a few days?"

"My daughter knows."

"Go ahead."

Xuan Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, stroking the white jade ring.

Sheng Xiyan, every decision I make for you will not be wrong.

Your heart was peeled open petal by petal, experiencing dull pain and heart-wrenching pain, removing the dross, and then growing well again for me.

That warm heart is mine.

"Put your carriage in the imperial palace. I will go take a bath first."

Eunuch Fu smiled tentatively and said:

"The Emperor came back from the hot springs and went straight to the West Palace. That's when Miss Cui arrived."

The next morning, the whole palace paid their respects.

Sheng Xiyan was sitting in the front row and yawning.

The other concubines were discussing Cui Nianmi's sleeping with them last night, and they were very excited.

"The Emperor left Concubine Cui in the Yangxin Palace last night! The last person to stay overnight in the Yangxin Palace was Empress Chen, right?"

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Today is completely different from what it was then."

Everyone looked at Sheng Xiyan with sympathy and gloating expressions.

Queen Duan came out slowly from the inner hall with a happy look on her face.

"Your humble concubine pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen, and wishes her the best of luck and prosperity."

"Sisters, please get up."

Qingdai served morning tea, and Empress Duan asked with concern, "Concubine Chen, did you not sleep well last night?"

Sheng Xiyan stroked his temple and said unhappily, "That's true."

"Bring the roasted milk tea to Concubine Chen to cheer her up."

Qingdai brought the yellow-glazed dragon and phoenix teacup to Sheng Xiyan, and she took it and took a sip.

He frowned and said, "It's really delicious."

Concubine Liang mocked, "It's delicious, why are you frowning? Are you afraid that the Empress will be displeased?"

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."

Sheng Xiyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips sadly.

Queen Duan looked at her with a smile,

"Early this morning, the Emperor sent someone to ask for leave from Concubine Cui. She has indeed worked very hard in serving the Emperor."

Then he asked the nanny next to him.

"What happened in the West Hall of the Yangxin Palace last night?"

Aunt Zhang bowed and said:

"To answer your Majesty, last night, when Concubine Cui of the West Palace slept with the Emperor, he called for water ten times."

Ten times? !!!

The concubines almost jumped out of their chairs!

Concubine Jia hurriedly asked, "Ten times is amazing, right?"

Sheng Xiyan muttered, this lustful dragon has finally found a second spring!

Every time he tortured her, he would do all sorts of things, and although the number of times was about the same, he would take a break for two days to recuperate.

Hadn't he just favored Wang Shuyi this time? And now he's squandering his dragon body like crazy, so indulgent, isn't he afraid of dying of exhaustion?

Sheng Xiyan looked down at her belly and thought, "You should leave me a dragon seed. Otherwise, when you pass away, I will have to guard the imperial mausoleum. That will be so hard!"

Alas, Da Da sighed, and the other concubines also followed suit with a sigh.

Concubine Dun asked, "Concubine Chen, how many times has the Emperor favored you?"

Others also asked curiously: "How many times?"

"several times?"

Everyone was very interested. Sheng Xiyan stretched out her index finger tearfully. No one believed her, so she stretched out her middle finger.

“That’s two times in total, no more.

Sisters, please don't misunderstand. The Emperor is extremely powerful. It's just that I'm weak and can't do anything to satisfy the Emperor."
