"Jiang Jiang, has your mother had dinner yet?"
“I used it.”
Inside the hall, Sheng Xiyan heard the noise and ran from the couch to the golden nanmu bed and lay down.
In the courtyard, Meixiang said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the young lady felt unwell and fell asleep."
The wet nurse took Jiang Jiang to eat fruit, and Xuan Ling entered the inner hall.
I walked straight in and saw the beauty lying on her side. Was she really asleep?
He tiptoed to the bed and sat down, calling softly, "Yanyan?"
Sheng Xiyan pretended to be confused and turned around, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Xuan Ling reached out to her lower abdomen, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
"Okay, much better."
Sheng Xiyan pressed his hand guiltily.
His eyes were filled with pity, which made her feel ashamed.
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
"I know you went to the roadside to pay tribute to Concubine Shen, right?"
"Your Majesty, nothing can be hidden from you. I feel so sorry for not raising Yuqing. Concubine Shen has placed such great trust in me. Alas."
"Don't think like that. Concubine Shu will take good care of Yuqing. Your important task is to give me many children."
Sheng Xiyan frowned and asked, "So many, how many do we need to have?"
"About seven or eight."
"Giving birth to piglets? I am not a sow."
When it comes to having children, Sheng Xiyan wants to push Xuan Ling out of the house as soon as possible. This task is too difficult. If the first child dies, who can she complain to?
“No, no…”
"What did Yanyan say?"
Xuan Ling gently pinched her cheek, his eyes gentle and affectionate.
"nothing."
He picked up the Zuo Zhuan on the table and asked, "Is this the book Yanyan is reading recently?"
Sheng Xiyan nodded, seeing that he had no intention of leaving.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. I just want to sleep. I'm afraid I can't accompany you..."
Xuan Ling took off his outer robe, pulled out his jade belt and threw it aside.
"It's okay, I'll read next to you, you can rest assured."
He climbed onto the bed and leaned beside her, saying with a smile:
"I can also cover Yanyan's stomach so that it won't hurt. By the way, have you taken the donkey-hide gelatin? It is used to replenish qi and blood every day."
"have eaten."
Xuan Ling opened the Zuo Zhuan and asked, "Which sentence in it is Yanyan's favorite?"
Sheng Xiyan said: "If you are indecisive, you will not be able to defeat your opponent.
I think that anyone who accomplishes great things, such as the emperor, always makes decisions promptly and firmly when dealing with problems.
If you hesitate and are afraid of everything, you won’t accomplish anything.”
There is nothing wrong in praising the emperor while reciting golden sentences.
"Yanyan is very insightful, I am pleased."
Sheng Xiyan flipped through a few more pages and said, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you said."
Xuan Ling recited: "Ritual is used to practice righteousness, righteousness generates benefits, benefits benefit the people, this is the great principle of politics.
What this means is that etiquette is used to promote morality, morality is used to generate benefits, and benefits are used to bring peace to the people. This is an important principle for governing a country.
There is another sentence behind this: If you use people as your own, you are giving them the government. If the government is lost, the country will follow suit, and there is no way to stop it.
"If you lend your rituals, laws, and instruments to others, you are handing over power to others. If you lose power, you lose the country."
Sheng Xiyan nodded as she listened. The emperor was knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to listen to his teachings. In fact, it was so good for the two of them to be like this. Why did they have to develop a physical relationship?
"I am sleepy."
"Okay, I'll accompany you to rest. Tomorrow morning, there will be some local morning newspapers to listen to. It's time to recharge your batteries."
He put the book down, lay down and held her in his arms.
The jade ring slid involuntarily, causing Sheng Xiyan to tremble.
"Your Majesty, I can't sleep if you're like this."
She hid to the side, her buttocks covered, and listened to the emperor's questions.
"Yanyan, how do you women deal with the blood when you have your period?"
