Sheng Xiyan saw his expression change and shrank back in fear.
But she wanted to fight for it and tell him how she felt.
How long can you enjoy serving others with your beauty?
Those who serve men with their beauty will see their love waning as their beauty fades, and when their love wanes, their affection will end.
Those who interact with each other with virtue will be together forever.
So she used her virtue to become his mentor and friend, and their friendship will last forever.
Since entering the palace, Sheng Xiyan has always planned to be the woman who enters Xuan Ling's heart, not just a favorite concubine.
After all, there is never a shortage of beautiful women around the emperor.
Encourage yourself, Sheng Xiyan, don’t be timid.
He gently pinched the corner of his clothes, pretending to be righteous.
"Regarding the matter of childbirth, the Emperor has done two harms to this concubine."
There was an endless sense of oppression in Emperor Xuanwu's eyes, as if the whole world was under his control.
"Well, tell me more about it. I'm all ears."
Although his tone was calm, his eyes were extremely deep, making people feel oppressed, and he even had a kind of contempt and disdain of an emperor who looked down on everything.
Sheng Xiyan's eyes were firm.
"First of all, the Emperor used a dream to deprive me of my right to have children. I cannot understand it."
"What else?"
"Secondly, the new sleeping system makes the concubines uncomfortable."
Xuan Ling questioned,
"Why did I reform the system of sleeping with my wife?"
Sheng Xiyan drew a line with her red lips and said unconvincedly:
"If Your Majesty had simply favored other sisters, I would have nothing to say, but you used me as an excuse to favor other women. Do you know how sad this makes me?
Xuan Ling stood up and walked to the carved window, looking at the half-moon hanging in the night sky outside the window, without saying a word for a long time.
With your hair loose and your collar open, you will find a peaceful man in your busy life.
His jet-black hair cascaded behind him like a waterfall. His seven-foot-eight-inch height was as tall and straight as a cedar, like a majestic mountain, dignified and solemn.
Sheng Xiyan randomly guessed what he was thinking. Would her advice be effective this time?
After a long time, Xuan Ling came back. Under the butter lamp, he looked down at her like a towering Buddha.
"Yanyan, I will not change my approach on this matter."
The grievance in Sheng Xiyan's heart was like a riverbank collapsing in an instant, and all her rationality was gone.
Tears immediately overflowed from her eyes, and she retorted:
"Why? Because of that dream?
How can the emperor be sure that something will go wrong when his concubine gives birth?
It's just fantasy!
He simply wanted to favor other concubines.
It’s simply…”
She covered her face and cried. Xuan Ling sat down and held her in his arms.
With a sigh,
“Yan Yan, although I am the emperor and rule over the world, there are things I cannot do, such as birth, old age, sickness and death.
I cherish you and will never allow you to take any risk.
I can promise you that apart from arranging those who perform well in the exam to sleep with me, I will not touch other women in the harem.
To have more descendants is not only for you, but also for the stability of the country.
I owe you this, and I will repay you with all my love for the rest of my life."
What he said made sense. Sheng Xiyan suddenly felt that she was being unreasonable, but a faint sadness rose in her heart.
She was a person who was bold and passionate about love. When she fell in love with this man, she wanted to have a child who looked like him and herself, so that this love would be complete.
It would be fine if she couldn't have children, but she happened to be in good health.
How can I let go of this regret?
The negotiations failed again.
Sheng Xiyan was dejected.
After all, she, a little girl, could not shake the emperor's rock-hard heart.
Xuan Ling held her cheek with his big hands, forehead to forehead.
"Yanyan, can you please stop making trouble?"
Sheng Xiyan didn't respond. After a moment, she moved back and knelt respectfully.
With a blank expression, he said softly:
"I will wait for His Majesty to rest."
He put the jade pillow in place and helped Xuan Ling lie down.
After saying that, she began to take off her clothes. The gauze faded away, leaving only a soft gauze bellyband. Her two jade-like shoulders were so beautiful that one could be intoxicated at first sight.
Then he got out of bed quietly.
Xuan Ling was completely confused and stretched his neck to see that she was trying to climb up from under his feet.
He stood up and pulled her to the middle of the bed.
"What's this for?"
Sheng Xiyan knelt down and said respectfully:
"I will serve His Majesty to bed according to the palace rules."
From now on, our king will be the king and our subjects will be the subjects.
Xuan Ling curled his lips and sneered, but when he saw the traces of tears on her delicate face, his heart softened again.
He stroked her shoulders and said softly:
"Yanyan, you are different. You don't need to sleep with me like this."
Sheng Xiyan clasped his hands in front of him and said respectfully:
"I dare not be special, let alone have any other unreasonable thoughts. I will be a dutiful concubine in the future and will not embarrass the emperor."
Xuan Ling held her face in his hands.
"Sheng Xiyan, are you still angry with me? Hmm?"
"No, I was just doing my job. If His Majesty is unhappy, you can have Concubine Xian sleep with you. I shouldn't have gone to Yimei Garden tonight."
Suddenly,
He lowered his head and covered her delicate lips, sweeping them over. She didn't kiss him back, so he kissed her even more fiercely.
While breathing rapidly, he bit her cheek hard.
Sheng Xiyan pushed him away in pain.
"Wuwuwu, it hurts, why are you bullying me? It's clearly the emperor's fault...嘤嘤嘤"
Xuan Ling leaned against the head of the bed, calming his disordered breath.
"If you don't accept it, you can ask for it back."
Sheng Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then pounced over and hit Xuan Ling hard on the chest of the silver satin sash, causing Xuan Ling to shrink his shoulders back in pain.
She looked up and saw her neck.
