Jiangjiang couldn't understand such complicated words, but he could feel some emotions from the tone.

He retracted his little head from the window and hugged Xuan Ling's neck, showing great attachment.

Xuan Ling stroked his head and said, "It's better to just do it."

Jiang Jiang kissed his cheek, touched his ear with his little hand, and said in a baby voice: "Jiang Jiang... likes father. Father is the best."

The fate between people is probably destined by heaven.

Blood relatives are not necessarily really close, and non-blood relatives are not necessarily not close.

Xuan Ling hugged Jiang Jiang, feeling emotional. Perhaps this child had a conflict with him in his previous life, and came to repay him in this life. Otherwise, why would he be so considerate?

Then what was the relationship between Sheng Xiyan and him in the previous life?

Why is this woman so stubborn?

In the carriage behind, Hua Xia whispered, "My lady, I advised you not to dress like this today, but you refused to listen. The Emperor must be unhappy about this, and that's why he ignored you."

Sheng Xiyan said softly, "It's right to remember the old times."

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

Hua Xia helped Sheng Xiyan down.

She slowly walked to the front of the imperial carriage. The guards carried Jiang Jiang out, and Xuan Ling got off the carriage.

Their eyes met.

A gentle and charming girl,

One is condescending, with a cold look in his eyes.

The officials of the cemetery came out with their people to greet them.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, long live His Majesty."

A group of people went in in a mighty procession.

There was a solemn atmosphere all around, except for Jiang Jiang, who didn't understand what was going on and thought it was a place for fun.

Xuan Ling was in front and Sheng Xiyan followed behind.

Occasionally he turned around and glanced at her coldly. She was so frightened that her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she shrank her body delicately, acting as if she was submissive and pitiful.

There were many flowers and fruits in front of Qi Yan's tombstone.

Prince Teng was currently offering a memorial service and hurried forward to greet him. "Your Majesty, I did not expect you to come in person."

I secretly glanced at Sheng Xiyan. She was like a terrified little wife standing behind the emperor.

Sheng Xiyan didn't dare look directly at Qi Yan's tombstone. It had appeared in her dreams countless times.

She dreamed that she came to pay tribute, and Qi Yan's soul appeared and talked to her.

Xuan Ling stepped forward, his expression mournful, his grief for the loss of talent ignited.

Wei Yan said: "Qi Yan, you have failed to live up to my expectations."

This was a talented general that he personally trained. When he led the army to fight, he was 20 years old and Qi Yan was 18 years old.

He was allowed to lead his army in its first battle but died young.

Xuan Ling put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Qi Yan, I forgive you and rest in peace."

Turning around, he called out, "Sheng Xiyan, come here."

Sheng Xiyan dared to approach the tombstone, but still didn't want to read the words on it.

But when I think about Qi Yan having money to spend over there,

"Your Majesty, can I burn some paper money?"

Xuan Ling acquiesced, and Sheng Xiyan squatted down to burn gold ingot paper flowers. She thought she wouldn't cry, but tears flowed uncontrollably.

Her tears made Xuan Ling's heart completely hardened.

"Qi Yan, I am bringing Sheng Xiyan and Jiang Jiang into the palace to preserve our relationship as monarch and subject, and nothing else.

I will give mother and child a stable and prosperous life.

Let Jiang Jiang grow up without worries, and I will train him to become a man of integrity.

As for Sheng Xiyan...I won't touch her."

Prince Teng stood respectfully beside him, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The implication is that the emperor hasn't touched Sheng Xiyan in the past six months? Then why did he take her as his concubine?

Eunuch Fu was even more confused. The emperor obviously liked Lady Sheng very much, so why did he say that?

If the concubines in the harem don't receive the love and care of others, then what if they are treated like mascots and pampered?
