The long table was covered with a bright yellow dragon-patterned tablecloth and was filled with more than a dozen delicacies.
Xuan Ling sat down, and the food on the plate turned into the scenes outside Zizhu Courtyard just now, not a single picture.
It started from the moment Sheng Xiyan rushed in front of Qi Yan...
In his mind, he couldn't help but repeat the plot again, as if he was watching a touching love story.
The graceful and touching love song still echoes in my ears.
Xuan Ling felt sad and heartbroken. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out. It was the result of his inner struggle and distress.
Like a jade carving, motionless.
Jiang Jiang stood on the chair and scooped a spoonful of sizzling beef.
"Father, this is my favorite food. Give it to me, Father."
He raised the spoon and brought it to Xuan Ling's mouth.
Xuan Ling pulled his thoughts back and looked at the little guy, whose face was full of worry, expectation and fear.
He is just over three years old and doesn't know anything yet. After seeing what happened just now, he must be so scared.
Xuan Ling opened his mouth and ate the grilled beef.
Hold him in your arms and stroke his bun.
Put your head on his shoulder,
My mother said that the fragrance on my father's body was agarwood, but I have smelled the incense burner and it is not exactly that scent.
This is the unique scent of his father, and he has been embracing this fragrance since he can remember.
It's a sense of security.
My father always told me,
"Don't be afraid of anything, baby. Father will always love and protect you."
Put your little hands around Xuan Ling's neck,
"Father, I love you too, and I will always love you."
When he first entered the palace, he was a timid child. Because he was protected and spoiled by others, he is now the most mischievous child in the palace.
After a long while, Xuan Ling said in a low voice:
"Baby, go and call your mother to come for dinner."
"good!"
Jiang Jiang jumped down happily and ran all the way to Sheng Xiyan.
Take her hand,
"Mother, Father is no longer angry. Let's go eat. There are so many delicious foods!"
As they got closer, Sheng Xiyan stared at Xuan Ling.
The emperor's face was not as angry as before, but rather a look of calmness that he tried hard to conceal.
She understood that he was trying to reassure Jiang Jiang.
After washing her hands in a golden basin, Sheng Xiyan stood beside him and picked up a white jade bowl to pour him emerald pearl white jade soup.
"Sit down." He said lightly.
Sheng Xiyan didn't sit down, but picked up some steamed duck with salvia miltiorrhiza for him.
Eunuch Fu reconciled:
"This dish was specially ordered by the Consort Chen yesterday, saying it would be the most suitable tonic for the Emperor in autumn."
"Mom, you can eat it too. Squirrel fish is your favorite."
Jiang Jiang picked up a piece and fed it to her.
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty."
He picked up another piece and fed it to Xuan Ling.
"Father, is it delicious?"
"tasty."
Sheng Xiyan made some soup for Jiang Jiang before sitting down and picking up the jade pendant.
"Father, Mother, I secretly followed Brother Yumo to class today.
I memorized the article that Taifu taught me in no time!
A gentleman is benevolent but not wasteful, works hard but does not complain, desires but is not greedy, is calm but not arrogant, and is powerful but not violent.
Father, am I reciting it correctly?"
Xuan Ling picked up a piece of honey-roasted venison for him.
"Jiang Jiang is very smart. I originally wanted to let you play for a while. Since you like it, father will tell the tutor that you can officially go to class the day after tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay! I will definitely study hard."
Xuan Ling touched his head and said:
"Enjoy your meal. Tomorrow, your father will give you a set of four treasures of the study as a gift for your schooling."
"Thank you, Father. Mother, what gift are you giving me for school?"
Sheng Xiyan glanced at Xuan Ling, who was chewing elegantly without looking away.
"During the common school entrance ceremony, parents would prepare a gift of a suit, a green robe, and a bag.
Shuxiu? It's dried meat strips given to the teacher.
Qingjin is a brand new dress.
A Ji Nang is a small school bag that holds the four treasures of the study.
Mother prepares these three for you."
Jiang Jiang said excitedly:
"I'll give the dried meat strips to the Master.
Hua Xia must have made the new gown, right? Father, my mother's embroidery skills are terrible and she can't make clothes.
This bag can hold the four treasures of the study that my father gave me."
The dinner ended with only the children chatting and laughing.
Le Wen ran in happily, "Good luck to the Emperor, and good luck to the Empress."
Xuan Ling said, "General, go play with Le Wen."
He was about to pull Sheng Xiyan in front of Xuan Ling.
"Father, please hug Mother. She knows she was wrong. She was crying when she came back just now."
Xuan Ling forced a smile and pulled Sheng Xiyan's hand.
"Father knows, go play."
Jiang Jiang clapped his hands, "I feel relieved now! Let's go play!"
He Lewen ran out of the Yangxin Palace. It was just getting dark, so they could go catch little frogs.
The child ran away and disappeared. Xuan Ling let go of Sheng Xiyan's hand and his face returned to its cold and gloomy state.
Just as he took a step, Sheng Xiyan hugged him from behind.
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
She didn't even dare to call Xuanlang, for fear that he would scold her and say she was not worthy.
Two restless arms wrapped around Xuan Ling's slender waist, and the hands moved gently upwards to stroke his chest.
Xuan Ling grabbed her rebellious hand.
Throw it away heavily.
Sheng Xiyan looked at him sadly, like a beggar who was rejected out of hand by the superior.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
Whenever she cried, he became anxious and irritable.
"Haven't you cried enough yet? The tears you shed for your ex-husband are more abundant than the water in West Lake. I'm truly impressed."
"I know I was wrong..."
Xuan Ling paced in front of her.
"How could you be wrong? Concubine Chen, you are the greatest hero today. I should reward you for your service in protecting the emperor."
Sheng Xiyan knelt down,
