Even Empress Duan was quite surprised. "Your Majesty is wise and compassionate to Zhaoyi. I will also give you a gift to nourish your pregnancy."
Lian Zhaoyi thought to herself that she didn't even pray to the Buddha when she got up early today, so how could she have such good luck? Becoming the focus of the audience was her dream, and it finally came true. She would fulfill her wish when she got back.
Xuan Ling twisted the agarwood Buddhist beads in his hand and stared at the head in front of him with half of the face exposed.
The imperial green ring on her hand was particularly eye-catching. Empress Duan and Concubine Jia could see clearly that the ring worn by Sheng Xiyan was a pair with the emperor's. Isn't this the treatment that only emperors and empresses can have as pairs?
He was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to express it in front of Emperor Xuanwu, so he kept it to himself.
Xuan Ling said, "Empress, I think that from now on, all concubines who give birth to children will be greatly rewarded and their treatment will be improved."
"Your Majesty is right. The concubines in the harem have been able to produce many children and have made great contributions to the country. They should be rewarded."
Xuan Ling stood up, walked towards Rong Shuyi with a warm face, and said gently:
"My beloved, you have worked hard to take care of Yu Mo. This agarwood bracelet is a reward for you."
Rong Shuyi took the sandalwood beads with both hands and was about to kneel down to express her gratitude, but was supported by Xuan Ling.
"My beloved concubine, there is no need to be so polite. Yu Mo is the eldest son, and I have always wanted to reward you well."
"Taking care of Yumo is my duty, and I feel guilty about it."
Rong Shuyi was flattered and didn't know why the emperor suddenly felt nostalgic today?
"You have been in the position of Shurong for a long time. Today I will promote you to Guirong, and also give you a box of gold melon seeds and a jade ruyi."
Rong Shuyi knelt down and said, "I thank the emperor for his grace."
"Get up quickly."
Xuan Ling helped Rong Guirong up, and the other concubines were dumbfounded. Is this still the cold and ice-cold emperor from before?
He glanced at Sheng Xiyan and saw that she had her head down and was not looking at him.
"My beloved, I will go with you to see Yu Mo."
"yes."
Rong Guirong is usually a very low-key person, but at this moment he boldly took Xuan Ling's arm and walked out of the main hall together.
In the courtyard, Xuan Ling suddenly stopped.
Called: "Is Consort Chen here?"
“Yes, yes!”
Gao Shurong and Lin Xiuyi pushed Sheng Xiyan out.
Sheng Xiyan walked up to him unhappily and bowed, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Xuan Ling stared at her face, which was as tender as a peeled lychee, with his dark eyes, and his teeth itched to take a big bite.
He asked in a deep voice, "Chen Zhaoyi, what do you think of what I just said?"
You talk so much, which one is the key point?
Sheng Xiyan's face was full of obedience, and she said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I think your care for the sisters in the harem is reasonable and correct. You are truly a wise ruler."
Xuan Ling glared at her coldly: You are just pretending, you are always pretending to be well-behaved, but you have been rebelling and deceiving me all your life.
He reached out and touched her head, with a creepy tone,
"My beloved, I hope you have truly gained enlightenment and made your beautiful head stronger.
Don't let it be taken off one day without you noticing, understand? Hmm?"
Sheng Xiyan raised her eyes and said, "You are so insidious. You have escalated to threatening my life so quickly, right?"
"I will follow the emperor's instructions."
Xuan Ling took Rong Guirong away, and Dun Guiyuan jumped out from behind to sarcastically say, "Some people are wasting their time enjoying the love and affection. Even the Emperor has lost his patience when their stomachs don't seem to be moving at all!"
Sheng Xiyan sneered and replied, "That's better than some people wanting rain and dew but not having it."
When Concubine Jia came out, Dun Guiyuan immediately tried to sow discord, "Empress Jia, did you hear that? Concubine Chen mocked you for not having rain or dew."
Concubine Jia walked forward angrily, grabbed Sheng Xiyan's hand, and snatched the imperial green ring from her right hand.
