Just as Eunuch Fu put on a pair of dragon boots for him, Xuan Ling changed his mind and said, "Take it off."

"Your Majesty, you're not leaving?"

Xuan Ling took a deep breath, got on the bed, took the agarwood Buddhist beads on the table, and said calmly:

"Am I the kind of person who gets so angry at a woman that he loses his composure?"

Eunuch Fu hurriedly bowed and flattered:

"Absolutely not. The Emperor rules over the world, and all the seas submit to him. He is so powerful that he can conquer all lands and rivers, and he has absolute power over everything.

At any time, he always has the air of being the only one who can rule the country.

As the saying goes, 'Those who obey the emperor will prosper, and those who disobey him will perish.'"

Xuan Ling regained his usual calm and reserved demeanor and said solemnly:

"You're right. I was just momentarily obsessed. In fact, Sheng Xiyan is a very ordinary woman. She looks very ordinary, has a pretentious personality, and isn't very understanding. The only thing she knows is some medical skills. Isn't it easy to find a female doctor? I can find as many as I want."

Eunuch Fu looked embarrassed. Xuan Ling picked up the pillow and threw it at him, "You little slave, am I wrong? What's with that expression on your face?"

Eunuch Fu knelt down, looked up, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, isn't Young Lady Sheng pretty? At every palace banquet, I've noticed your eyes are always fixed on Young Lady Sheng. If it's not because she's beautiful, then what's the reason?"

Xuan Ling stroked his head, his dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes relaxed slightly.

"You are a little bit pretty, but you are relying on this little bit to ignore me, thinking that I am a country bumpkin who has never seen a woman?

The most important thing is that this woman is as stubborn as a donkey. Her tenderness and affection are all fake, acting, and deceiving me.

Wasn’t it obvious enough from the moment she entered the palace? Why did she…”

Xuan Ling did not continue to speak, because if he continued, it would hurt the emperor's dignity and self-respect.

Sheng Xiyan said that she and Qi Yan got married half a year after they met, which means they fell in love within half a year.

But he and Sheng Xiyan had been together for half a year, but in Sheng Xiyan's heart, he was still not as good as Qi Yan, and she did not fall in love with him.

The frustration and jealousy rolled in my chest, which was hard to describe.

The next morning, Eunuch Fu helped Xuan Ling change her clothes, while Dun Shuyuan stumbled back to the inner hall from the flower hall.

She said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, my knees are going to be broken. I am really wronged. Every time Your Majesty comes, you punish me by making me kneel. I can't even sleep. After kneeling all night, my legs and body are stiff..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears, feeling so aggrieved.

Xuan Ling touched the jade belt and glanced at her.

"Your father has been doing well in southern Anhui recently. I will promote you one level, from third-rank Shuyuan to third-rank Guiyuan."

Upon hearing this, Dun Shuyuan burst into laughter and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor."

She stood up and took Xuan Ling's arm, leaning on his shoulder, and said in a soft voice: "I know that the emperor loves Yue'er."

Xuan Ling pushed her away, picked up the agarwood Buddhist beads and was about to go out. Dun Shuyuan hurriedly followed him and took his arm and went out.

After leaving the palace, Xuan Ling stretched his neck to look towards the main hall on the left, and deliberately stopped at the door of the side hall for a while.

Dun Shuyuan caressed his hand with a seductive look,

Xuan Ling pried her hands apart and said, "I'm warning you, if you go back to the main palace and bully others like last time, I will immediately banish you to the cold palace."

Dun Shuyuan coquettishly agreed, "I remember. I will get along well with Sister Sheng and will definitely not cause any trouble."

She stood on tiptoe to kiss Xuan Ling's cheek. Xuan Ling saw the door of the main hall open, and pressed his palm against her, but did not push it open.

Seeing Xiao Zhuozi open the door and run into the main hall courtyard, Xuan Ling pushed Dun Shuyuan away and got on the imperial carriage.

Dun Shuyuan stumbled and nearly fell, stamping her feet in grievance, and said delicately, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Xuan Ling looked towards the main hall courtyard from the imperial carriage and saw Jiang Jiang running down the stairs. His heart skipped a beat with sadness. He hadn't held this child in his arms for several days. Jiang Jiang must be missing his father.

Every time the little guy would crawl in his arms very dependently, touching his ears, the golden crown, and his hair. The saliva on the dragon robe was basically his.

He instructed: "Tell the Imperial Kitchen and the Imperial Household Department to strictly follow the standards of the young prince for the meals. The Imperial Household Department should also purchase and make more toys and send them to Guanju Palace."

"I understand."

In the main hall of Guanju Palace, Sheng Xiyan had just gotten up and was sitting on the couch, still sleepy. Meixiang and others were helping her wash up.

"I'm so sleepy. I'll sleep a little longer. Anyway, the Queen has cancelled the palace-wide greetings these days. You guys go out first and let me sleep a little longer."

Xiao Zhuozi whispered a few words to Shanhu, and she came in to report, "My lady, the emperor was in the side hall last night. When he left just now, Dun Shuyuan kissed him. Their behavior was very intimate."

Sheng Xiyan buried her head in the pillow and said, "Just kiss me."

The emperor's nature, three palaces and six courtyards.

After a while, Xiao Zhuozi found out the latest information. Sheng Xiyan was still wearing her nightgown, so it was inconvenient for him to enter the inner hall, so he knocked on the door outside.

Shanhu ran to listen again and came back to report, "My lady, the emperor has promoted Dun Shuyuan. She is now a noble concubine."

Hua Xia said anxiously, "My lady, what should we do? Don't sleep anymore, think of a solution quickly."

Meixiang said worriedly, "Now Dun Guiyuan is going to bully us again."

Sheng Xiyan pulled the silk and said lazily, "Let me wake up first and think about it later. It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Who cares who the emperor favors? Don't be too anxious."

In the Cining Palace, Concubine Jia and Concubine Liang came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

The two men were massaging the Empress Dowager's legs and shoulders.

Concubine Liang said, "Aunt, Concubine Shu has been paying attention to Shen Wanrong recently. Do you think she has any evil intentions?"

The Empress Dowager was dressed in an orange phoenix robe, looking elegant and graceful.
