Eunuch Fu lowered his brows and said cautiously, "The workmanship of this sachet looks rather crude... Your Majesty, isn't it a bit worthwhile to use it to exchange for a bracelet of agarwood and agarwood that could buy several streets in the capital?"

Xuan Ling took the sachet in his hand and played with it lovingly. There was a dragon pattern embroidered on the sachet. Although the stitching was a bit rough, it was full of thought.

The aroma feels fresh and comfortable, even my nose feels a lot more comfortable.

He glared at Eunuch Fu and said, "You little slave, if I say it's worth it, then it's worth it."

Eunuch Fu immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, if the emperor says it's worth it, then it must be worth it!"

Xuan Ling placed the sachet on his waist and gestured. Eunuch Fu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I will wear it for you."

Xuan Ling treated it like a treasure and was reluctant to give it to others. "I wear it myself. You have become more and more tactless recently."

"The slave is stupid."

Xuan Ling carefully looked at the sachet and the jade pendant on his body, considering how to match them.

After careful consideration, he said, "Take these two jade pendants for me."

Eunuch Fu hurried forward to take off the jade pendant, Xuan Ling tied the sachet on it, and gently stroked it. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a beautiful smile.

I didn't pay attention when I was holding it in my hand, but when I looked down from top to bottom, I found that there seemed to be a small piece of paper with a little corner sticking out from the drawstring.

Out of curiosity, Xuan Ling loosened the drawstring of the sachet and pulled out the piece of paper, which was folded into a small square.

A flash of joy flashed through his mind. It must be the love words Yanyan wrote to him.

Eunuch Fu watched the emperor smiling as he opened the paper very slowly and solemnly.

But after a while, no one knew what was written on the paper, but his dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes suddenly turned from bright to cloudy, and the thumb holding the jade ring on the paper froze there.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Eunuch Fu suddenly felt that things were about to change. Although serving in the imperial court and traveling around the palaces was prestigious, serving the emperor every day was also like walking on thin ice.

Xuan Ling originally opened the sachet with great joy, anticipating the surprise inside, but when he saw the contents on the note, it was as if he was splashed with a basin of cold water, and the joy in his heart disappeared instantly.

He angrily slammed the note on the dragon table, making a muffled crisp sound.

Eunuch Fu was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up. He wondered in his heart, Miss Sheng sent the sachet to please the emperor, so why did it make the emperor unhappy instead?

Xuan Ling's face was gloomy and he stared ahead with cold eyes.

After a moment, he reached out and picked up the note again, with a playful and bitter smile on his lips.

Sheng Xiyan, I am not forcing you to completely forget him, I just hope that you can gradually let go of the past and accept me.

Now it seems that all your behavior after entering the palace was just a show?

Xuan Ling felt that he had been fooled, and an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart.

He protected her carefully and was reluctant to touch her, but she was always obsessed with the past and her heart was with Han even though she was in Cao's camp.

Xuan Ling became angrier the more he thought about it. He suddenly pulled off the sachet from his waist and threw it into the gilded wastebasket, throwing the note into it as well.

He was the emperor, always calm and composed, and would never act so childishly, but at this moment he felt that this action was very satisfying.

Afterwards, he returned to handling government affairs, "Go and find Lord Li from the Ministry of Revenue. I have something to ask him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Fu quickly agreed and thought to himself that although the emperor was angry, he did not punish Miss Sheng immediately, perhaps he still had pity on her.

The sun gradually set and night fell. Xuan Ling finally put down the memorial in his hand and stretched his stiff neck.

I even missed dinner time and my stomach was growling with hunger.

"Serve the food."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The imperial maid came in and cleaned the wastebasket. As the matter involved confidential information, all the papers had to be burned on the spot.

Xuan Ling walked towards the inner hall for dinner, but suddenly stopped halfway.

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

"Go and keep the sachet and the paper. Don't burn them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Fu hurried to the outer hall, fortunately he didn't have time to burn them.

In the inner hall, a rosewood table with golden threads was placed in the center. Palace servants quickly took out various delicacies from red lacquer boxes, including eight main dishes, four side dishes, a hot pot, porridge, soup, etc. The staple foods included rice, noodles, and a variety of cakes.

After Xuan Ling took his seat, the eunuch serving the meal first used a small silver plate half an inch wide and three inches long to test whether the food was poisonous.

Only after making sure everything was safe did he start to enjoy the food.

Eunuch Fu observed secretly and saw that Xuan Ling was eating with gusto. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the emperor's mood had calmed down.

After the meal, the eunuch from the Jingshifang brought out plates with green nameplates of the concubines from each palace on them.

"Your Majesty, would you like to visit the harem tonight?"

Xuan Ling picked up the paper and read it again.

It says:

“Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for Mount Wu, all other clouds are but mounds.

I am too lazy to look back at the flowers, half because of my cultivation and half because of you.

Yanlang, I miss you so much, thinking about you..."

That day at the Grand Hyatt Inn, he asked her if she was in a hurry to get married, and she said, "Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wu, all other clouds are but mounds."

He picked up the sachet and looked at it carefully. There was clearly a yellow dragon embroidered on the azure brocade. This was a gift for him, so why was there a letter expressing his longing for Qi Yan?

Could it be that she made two sachets and accidentally put the letter to Qi Yan into the sachet for him?

This inference is reasonable. After all, she didn't dare to show him the love words she wrote to Qi Yan openly.

The eunuch from the Jingshifang stood there with his head bowed, holding a tray with the names of the concubines in the harem on it.
