At noon, Emperor Xuanwu finished his court affairs.
He stood up and turned his neck, "Go to Guanju Palace and pass on the message."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, they arrived at Guanju Palace.
Eunuch Fu smiled happily, "Empress Zhaoyi, the Emperor invites you to go boating on the lake to admire the lotus flowers."
Sheng Xiyan was leaning on the Arhat couch reading a book, "Yuhu?"
"Yes, rowing a boat, drinking wine, and admiring the lotus flowers is so pleasant. Hurry and get ready."
Sheng Xiyan frowned and said in embarrassment: "Eunuch Fu, please tell the emperor that I have my period and cannot go."
"Ah? This, this is not a coincidence."
Sheng Xiyan sighed: "It's really a pity. I am also helpless."
Duke Fu announced his withdrawal from Guanju Palace.
Hua Xia whispered, "My Lady, why are you lying? Where did your menstrual fluid come from?"
Sheng Xiyan leaned on the couch with a faint sense of death.
"Oh, I don't want to go."
"Why?"
What should I do if I go to sleep with my wife at night?
"You don't want to sleep with me?"
Sheng Xiyan was in a daze while drinking flower and fruit tea, muttering to herself,

"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, Eunuch Fu appeared again in Guanju Palace.
"Empress Zhaoyi, are you feeling unwell? Or maybe you'll just go for a boat trip. It won't take much effort, and you won't get tired."
Sheng Xiyan rubbed her stomach and pretended to say, "My stomach hurts so much. I'm afraid I'll disturb the emperor's pleasure, so I really can't accompany him."
After Eunuch Fu left, Hua Xia was puzzled.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this? You've refused the Emperor twice, what if he gets angry? Besides, you haven't had your period yet."
Sheng Xiyan said: "I don't want to go, please stop talking.
Prepare some paper money. I will burn some for Concubine Shen at night and tell her that I have failed her trust and that Yuqing will be raised by Concubine Shu."
Hua Xia walked out of the palace with a depressed look on her face. Mei Xiang whispered, "Sister Hua Xia, is our queen afraid of giving birth?"
