"It's really okay now."
Sheng Xiyan forced a smile, feeling relieved. He and Princess Lewen would also quarrel, but after a few days, they would forget everything when they met again. It should be the same with his father and mother.
"Young Master, let the Queen get some sleep. I will take you outside."
"good."
Jiang Jiang kissed Sheng Xiyan and jumped off the bunk bed.
"My lady, don't think about anything and just take a good rest."
Hua Xia covered him with a silk quilt and took Jiang Jiang out of the palace. She was worried that the problem had only been solved for a day and a half, so why did it happen again?
What exactly is love? Why is it so agonizing?
In the Yangxin Palace, from noon to dusk, Xuan Ling was listening to reports, and several ministers from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue discussed the flood control plan on the spot.
Outside the palace, Meixiang nervously said to Eunuch Fu, "Eunuch, the Empress Dowager has summoned our Empress to the Cining Palace. Please inform the Emperor."
Eunuch Fu said, "If it were any other day, it would be fine. But the current disaster situation is very urgent and we can't disturb you. Please wait a little longer."

Liangpin glanced at Shufei and said, "Sister Shufei, Chen Zhaoyi came from Prince E's Palace. She must have learned this from you, right?"
Although she was demoted to one of the nine concubines, she still acted with arrogance because her father was the prime minister and her aunt was the empress dowager.
Concubine Shu respectfully said to the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, since Concubine Chen Zhaoyi entered the palace, she has always looked down upon me. I have no dealings with her."
The Empress Dowager leaned gracefully on the Luohan couch. Even at this age, her temperament was still noble and dazzling.
"Chen Zhaoyi, someone reported that you used an aphrodisiac, causing the Emperor to stay in Guanju Palace from last night until noon today, even skipping the morning court session. Is this true?"
Sheng Xiyan had guessed this would be the case since she arrived, but of course she couldn't admit it.
