The palace maid brought the five-red soup.

When she tasted it, she found it a little hot, so she threw the bowl directly at the palace maid.

The maidservant knelt on the ground in fear, "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me."

"Go out and get fifty slaps."

Hongxiu came in and the palace maid hurried out to be slapped.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your abilities are obvious to all. When the eldest princess gave birth, the Emperor asked You to assist in managing the six palaces and praised Your Majesty's abilities."

Concubine Shu was so angry that she shed tears. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "What's the use? The emperor is now dissatisfied with everything about me. I really miss A Yan. When he was here, the emperor would not treat me like this..."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is angry, but maybe he will calm down in a few days, and then he will think of you."

Concubine Shu felt aggrieved. "I only let Sheng Xiyan massage me for half an hour, and this bitch turned around and complained to the emperor, causing him to punish me."

She was sad for a while, then cheered up and said, "I know Liang Fei's abilities very well. Let's wait and see. Besides, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and I must take back the lost territory."

Hongxiu rubbed her shoulders and comforted her, "Your Highness, you are right to think so."

Early summer, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching.

Meixiang and Shanhu made bouquets of mugwort with thin red threads and hung them at the entrance and on the windows of the hall. They also hung a small bouquet on the sandalwood bed in the inner hall.

Sheng Xiyan was sewing a sachet on the couch. It was a deep blue brocade bag.

Seeing that she was having a hard time sewing, Hua Xia said, "My lady, how about I help you with sewing?"

Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "This is a return gift to the emperor. I need to stitch it needle and thread to show my sincerity."

Just as he was speaking, he was distracted and heard "Ah!" His finger was pricked and a blood spot was left on the sachet pouch.

"Oh, my lady, let me wash it for you."

"No need to wash. I'm not good at embroidery, and the emperor knows that."

"The sachet that the young lady embroidered for the emperor is larger than the ordinary ones. It exudes nobility at first glance."

There are spices and some Chinese medicinal herbs in the small bamboo frame next to it.

"The Emperor has nasal sinusitis. I have prepared a recipe of spices so that when he wears it, it can not only ward off evil spirits and harm, but also relieve nasal discomfort."

"The young lady is becoming more and more virtuous now."

Not only was she making sachets, Meixiang and Aunt Zhang were both very skillful and quickly made sachets for everyone in the hall. Everyone put the spices left over by Sheng Xiyan into the sachets and hung them around their waists.

"My lady, I made one for the young master as well."

"Madam Zhang, you have such a skillful hand. This carp-shaped sachet is even more exquisite than those sold on the street."

Sheng Xiyan held two sachets in her hands. Compared with them, the sachet purse she embroidered was really ugly.

After noon the next day, Sheng Xiyan had the sachet delivered to the Yangxin Palace.

Xuan Ling had been very busy these past two days. As soon as he had some free time, Eunuch Fu brought in a small carved wooden box with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is a return gift from Lady Sheng."

Xuan Ling said happily: "Show me what it is."

When the wooden box was opened, a deep blue sachet was revealed, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

Eunuch Fu watched from the side for a few moments and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Dragon Boat Festival is just a few days away, and Miss Sheng is the first person to send you a sachet this year. However..."

He hesitated to continue speaking.

Xuan Ling raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue.
