On the full moon banquet for her child, the devastating news arrived that her husband had died on the battlefield. Sheng Xiyan fell into the abyss.
The prince's mansion bullied the orphan...
At noon, Concubine Shu dressed up carefully and went to the Yangxin Palace. On the way, she saw the imperial carriage on the road in the distance.
Concubine Shu saw this from her riding pole and ordered, "Take a detour and follow the emperor."
Hongxiu said, "Your Majesty, today it is Dun Shuyuan and Sheng Chongyuan who are staying at Guanju Palace. It seems that the Emperor is going to Guanju Palace."
Concubine Shu's analysis confirmed the route, "Hurry back and move the coral bonsai in the palace to Guanju Palace. I must go and join in the fun today."
"Yes, my lady."
Concubine Shu deliberately let Cai Zhang pass slowly, waiting for Hong Xiu to bring people back to move the coral bonsai.
The imperial carriage arrived outside Guanju Palace first, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone in the main hall was chatting animatedly and no one could hear the noise outside.
As Xuan Ling entered the yard, he heard laughter. Meixiang and Shanhu were about to go into the hall to talk, but he signaled them to stop.
Walking into the main hall with big strides, Sheng Xiyan, who was sitting by the couch, saw a tall man in a dragon robe coming in, "Your Majesty."
As soon as she said this, the other concubines put down the melon seeds and nuts in their hands and hurriedly got off the couch.
They all bowed their heads and stood in a neat row, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, Your ...
Xuan Ling stared at Sheng Xiyan. Today she was wearing a brocade gown with a pattern of peacocks and linked beads on a green cloud pattern, a crepe skirt with emerald flowers, and an apricot gauze belt tied around her slender waist, which made her look even more gentle and charming.
Standing among several concubines, she is outstanding and lively.
Sheng Xiyan smiled and walked over to him, pulling his sleeve and whispering, "Your Majesty, are you also here to help me find a home?"
Eunuch Fu brought in a large plate covered with a brocade cloth.
Xuan Ling said, "Open it and take a look."
Sheng Xiyan lifted the brocade cloth, revealing a jade pillow inside. She recognized it as the same jade pillow on the dragon couch in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The jade pillow is filled with medicine and feels very cool. Lying on it makes you feel refreshed and comfortable. It is breathable and does not make you sweat.
Xuan Ling gently stroked her temples and said lovingly, "It's summer and the weather is hot. I hope you can sleep well and cool down every day."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two held hands and stared at each other with sweet smiles on their lips.
Dun Shuyuan came over, gently took Xuan Ling's left arm, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty, you can't be partial to one and not to the other. I am also moving into my new home today."
Xuan Ling said, "Yours has been sent to the side hall. Go back and take a look."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking of me." She did not let go of Xuan Ling's arm.
Concubine Shu came in and pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Majesty? I greet Your Majesty. I didn't know you were here. I came to give Sister Sheng a gift."
The palace maid brought in a coral bonsai and placed it on the table.
Sheng Xiyan bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Shu came up to Xuan Ling and said, "Your Majesty, are you tired? I see there are too many people here. Why don't you move to Zhongcui Palace? The small kitchen has prepared crystal pork trotters and some other delicacies."
Xuan Ling looked at Sheng Xiyan with a deep gaze and said slowly, "When the An family celebration banquet is delivered later, I will accompany her and go to Zhongcui Palace another day."
Concubine Shu showed an awkward smile on her face and responded softly: "Okay."
Xuan Ling extended his hand and said gently, "Yan Yan, do you want to go play on the swing?"
"Yes, I have been waiting for the emperor."
After saying that, he took her hand and walked out of the palace, followed by the other concubines.
"Yanyan, do you know why I asked you to build two swings, one high and one low?"
Sheng Xiyan playfully stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Does the Emperor want to play too?"
Xuan Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile, then took her hand and walked to the high swing, motioning her to go up first.
Sheng Xiyan was actually very agile at climbing trees, but at this moment she deliberately pretended to be delicate and frail, frowning and saying, "Your Majesty, I haven't been up there for a long time, and I'm a little scared to go up."
Xuan Ling gently picked her up and placed her gently in the middle of the swing.
Unexpectedly, he quickly pulled up the rope, climbed onto the swing lightly, and stuck close to Sheng Xiyan.
Sheng Xiyan asked in surprise, "So this is how you play on a high swing? Your Majesty, is it you or me who is swinging?"
Just as she said that, Xuan Ling exerted force and the swing suddenly started to shake. She was so scared that she let go of the rope and quickly hugged his waist.
"Yanyan, hold me tight."
"Um."
Xuan Ling easily swung the swing high up, and the two of them seemed as light and graceful as immortals walking on colorful clouds.
Shufei's delicate face was slightly smiling, while Dun Shuyuan tightly grasped the round fan in her hand, and her finger joints turned white from the force.
Defei and several of her concubines watched with smiles on their faces and great interest.
Gao Chongrong said, "I also love swinging when I'm in my boudoir. How about you?"
Jiang Jiang and Princess Lewen ran out of the hall happily and climbed onto the small swing excitedly, with Xiao Zhuozi gently pushing them from behind.
Sheng Xiyan looked down and saw Jiang Jiang's face filled with a childlike smile. At this moment, she felt happiness in the palace.
Xuan Ling looked at her with a sweet smile, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, her skirt swaying, she was extremely beautiful.
"Yanyan, do you feel dizzy?"
"A little."
Xuan Ling hugged her tightly and flew down the swing together, causing the concubines next to them to exclaim in surprise.
Concubine Shu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xi Yan, your hobbies remain the same. I still remember that when we were in the palace, A Yan made a swing for you, right?"
The smile on Sheng Xiyan's face froze. She glanced at Xuan Ling carefully and found that his expression had not changed. She breathed a sigh of relief and thought, he should not be angry, right?
