"In reply to your Majesty, you will be directly promoted in this exam and can sleep with your wife at any time. The first place will be Noble Lady Xian, the second place will be Noble Lady Rong, and the third place will be Concubine Zhang."
Sheng Xiyan curled her lips and said, "They are both stunning beauties. Your Majesty is very lucky."
Hua Xia brought out the dress and coaxed her, "Your Majesty, what are you wearing and using now? Isn't it the best? The Emperor treats you so well."
She knew Sheng Xiyan was a romantic person at heart. When she was still a girl, she was determined to find a man who would love only her and be together for the rest of their lives.
I understand more clearly what she is angry about now.
But this man is the emperor, how could he have only one woman?
It is better to recognize the situation as soon as possible.
Sheng Xiyan snorted softly, and Hua Xia had to be ruthless so that she could understand clearly and not make the mistake of pushing the emperor away.
While helping her put on her clothes, she asked, "My Lady, do you still remember the days when we were in the backyard after the Second Master was ordered to go to war?"
Sheng Xiyan's eyes flickered.
She was pregnant at the time and was already feeling unwell, and Qi Yan suddenly left the house, which was like the sky falling.
He couldn't even eat, and was called in for training by Princess E every day, and bullied by the Crown Prince's wife every day.
She had a bright and cheerful nature, but she hadn't laughed since then.
Not to mention that after she risked her life to give birth to Jiang Jiang, she was looking forward to Qi Yan's return.
What finally came was bad news.
The tears I shed are more than the water in West Lake.
I really started laughing after entering the palace.
Now I can not only laugh heartily, but also be a little naughty.
Sitting on the bed, several palace maids helped her wash.
After she put on a gauze dress embroidered with the pattern of lotus pond and moonlight, Hua Xia and Mei Xiang helped her sit in front of the sandalwood dressing table with gold thread.
On the table were a glazed rouge box, a white-glazed porcelain powder box with a silver buckle, and a shadow-blue glazed porcelain box...
None of them is an ordinary thing; each one is precious and each one demonstrates the nobility of the favorite concubine.
Sheng Xiyan reached out and placed her hand on her favorite peony-patterned mutton-fat jade powder box, gently stroking it and falling into deep thought.
When I recall entering the palace, I just wanted to have a stable life with my husband.
I worked hard to win the emperor's heart for this, and now that my wish has been fulfilled, why am I still making a fuss?
Zi Ling pushed a wenge wood jewelry cabinet with wheels from the side of the dressing table.
As soon as you pull it, you'll see dazzling, golden, and all kinds of precious jewelry coming into view.
"Madam, what jewelry would you like to wear today?"
Hua Xia observed his expression and continued:
"If you are not satisfied with the items in this cabinet, may I ask you to bring over the other jewelry cabinets so that Your Majesty can choose? The Emperor has given you quite a few more gifts, and you still have many items you haven't worn yet."
Sheng Xiyan said softly:
"Hua Xia, you're right. People shouldn't be too greedy."
She stood up, looked serious, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully.
"I am grateful for the emperor's great grace. Long live the emperor."
Just treat Xuan Ling as the emperor and observe the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.
Hua Xia felt relieved. She thought that the Queen must have figured it out now. She would no longer be upset and would not quarrel with the Emperor anymore.
In Jingren Palace.
Empress Duan took the seat of honor, followed by Rong Guiyi, Xian Guiren, and Zhang Meiren.
"You three are the best in this exam. The Emperor has already told me that your sleeping arrangements will be based on your rankings. Go back and prepare well, and strive to be in your best condition to serve the Emperor."
The three of them said in unison: "We will follow the Queen's instructions."
Empress Duan smiled and said, "Rong Guiyi is an elder in the palace and gave birth to Yumo. If Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhang have any questions, they can ask for your advice."
Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhang said, "Sister Rong, please give us your guidance."
Rong Guiyi was extremely apprehensive and said, "I will obey the Empress's orders."
She had thought about not taking part in this exam. After all, she already had the prince Yumo. But it would be great if she could get pregnant with another one. Even if she couldn't have a dragon fetus, she could still get the love of Emperor Xuanwu. As a woman, how could she not desire that?
Empress Duan emphasized, "Noble Lady Xian, you are exceptionally beautiful and talented. You must seize this opportunity and strive to conceive an heir to the throne."
Concubine Xian stood up and said respectfully, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Qingdai and her men brought a plate with three large brown paper bags on it.
"This is the fertility prescription I asked the Imperial Hospital to prepare. You should take it every day when you return."
"Thank you, Queen."
The three of them received the pregnancy medicine packages and came out of Jingren Palace, their faces blooming with smiles of anticipation of becoming the favorite concubines and carrying the dragon fetus.
Lady Zhang is pretty and she gently holds Rong Guiyi's hand.
"Sister Rong, there are many things I don't understand. May I ask you for help?"
Rong Guiyi said politely, "As long as I know something, I will tell you everything I know."
After all, Queen Duan just spoke, so I have to pretend.
Concubine Xian also said, "Yes, Sister Rong, I also want to know more."
The three of them talked as they walked.
"I wonder what kind of women the Emperor likes? Quiet? Dignified? Lively? Bold?"
This can be understood as what style the emperor likes for the dragon bed.
Rong Guiyi recalled that four years ago, when she first entered the palace, Emperor Xuanwu appreciated her father's world-famous talent and turned her over to be a cuckold.
I thought that because of this, when he slept with her, he would definitely talk to her about poetry and songs, which would be perfect for cultivating their relationship.
But she didn't expect that night, she waited for a long time in the west hall of the Yangxin Palace before Emperor Xuanwu came.
He looked very tired, and the two of them hardly said a word.
She completed the process according to the sleeping method taught by the nanny.
During this time, I hardly dared to look at the emperor's face, and I didn't know whether he was satisfied.
