But then I thought, wouldn't this mean that everyone would know the contents of the letter, and even if it was fake, it would become true.

Invisibly, everyone was reminded that Sheng Xiyan and Qi Yan were once a loving couple. Where would his majesty as an emperor be? Sheng Xiyan would be talked about in the palace.

He simply threw the letter into the incense burner and burned it.

After a long time, Xuan Ling tried clumsily several times before he folded the origami back into a heart shape and placed it in the long glass box in the drawer of the dragon table.

This long glass box has been with him for many years. He would take it with him even when he went out of the palace in disguise. It contained a brush and a purple gold inkstone.

"It's summer now. Has the tribute of ramie arrived?"

"In reply to the Emperor, it was delivered to the palace the day before yesterday."

Xuan Ling said, "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and convey my oral order. Grant Sheng Chongyuan five pieces of gauze, five pieces of soft smoke silk, a box of golden melon seeds, a silk fan with a pattern of flowers and a full moon, and two jade ruyi."

Needless to say, ramie cloth is the coolest, lightest and most breathable fabric in summer. Apart from the emperor and the empress dowager, the empress has only two pieces of it, and other concubines can only get a share with the emperor's reward.

But the emperor rewarded Lady Sheng with five horses at once, an unprecedented favor.

"Also, give two pieces of Xiangyunsha to each of Dun Shuyuan and Gao Shurong."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Half an hour later, in the main hall of Guanju Palace.

Concubine Liang personally brought seven or eight palace maids from the Imperial Household Department to deliver the imperial gift.

She enthusiastically took Sheng Xiyan's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Sheng, our previous conflicts were all misunderstandings. From now on, you can call me sister."

Sheng Xiyan said flatteringly, "Sister Liang Fei."

"That's good. I like Sister Sheng from the bottom of my heart. Unlike some people who say you are one of their own and treat you harshly."

Sheng Xiyan knew that she came today to show off her status as the assistant manager of the six palaces, and secondly to imply that Concubine Shu was unkind and to invite her to join her camp, thus consolidating her position as the assistant manager of the six palaces.

As soon as Concubine Liang and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, Dun Shuyuan came in with her palace maids, holding two pieces of Xiangyun gauze in her hands.

She placed the Xiangyunsha on the table and said with a smile, "Sister Sheng, I'm here to give you a lucky charm and give you two more pieces of Xiangyunsha."

It's strange, how could she be so kind? What evil things were she planning?
