Outside the palace gate, not only were the palace maids from Guanju Palace waiting with their heads bowed, but there was also Eunuch Fu and a row of guards with swords at the window.
Hua Xia made up her mind and carried the Pekingese out of the ear room. The little guy was small and could be useful now.
Meixiang blocked Eunuch Fu's view, and Huaxia stuffed Pekingese into the carved window beside the flower hall.
On the golden nanmu bed, Xuan Ling laid Sheng Xiyan flat, lying beside her with his elbow under her head.
He had a handsome and elegant appearance, as perfect as a god.
The narrow and long phoenix eyes that reach into the temples are curved inside and pretty outside, with clear black and white, like a deep galaxy.
Stroking her chin, his slender fingers slid down to her fair neck.
Silently, the jade ring fell into the soft and plump flesh, and he couldn't get out.
The emotion came in an instant, he pinched her soft waist and kissed her...
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from the corner, and Xuan Ling sat up alertly.
I just got out of bed and was about to walk over there when I saw the Pekingese dog wagging its tail.
I think this little thing ran in through the crack in the door.
Xuan Ling waved his hand, and the Pekingese dog ran to the dragon-patterned gemstone soap boots and rubbed against them affectionately.
He was its owner.
Qi Yan was in the closet, his body stiff. He had just moved slightly and the closet made a noise. Now he didn't dare to make a sound.
God bless, please let the emperor leave quickly, it’s not easy to be a wooden man.
Xuan Ling covered Sheng Xiyan with a quilt, leaned over and kissed her lips, caressed her face and whispered,
Yanyan, heal your wounds quickly and be ready to take my knife.
It was a wonderful feeling, the dark part of my body constantly tormented by my lover, a heart-wrenching love.
Hesitation and jealousy.
Xuan Ling turned around, his expression became cold and stern, and he strode out of the inner hall.
When he reached the door, he said majestically, "There is no need to tell Concubine Chen that I came to Guanju Palace. Take good care of her."
Hua Xia and the others bowed and said, "As you command."
The emperor left with his men in a grand manner.
Hua Xia ran into the hall and whispered, "My Lord, My Lord."
Qi Yan came out of the closet, ran to the bed, and glanced at Sheng Xiyan.
"I have to leave quickly, or the emperor might get suspicious and turn back."
Reluctant to leave, he kissed Sheng Xiyan on the forehead, quickly ran out of the palace, flew onto the roof, and disappeared into the night.
"My Lord, be careful."
In the dark night, the imperial carriage moved forward on the bluestone road.
It's very quiet around.
Xuan Ling suddenly said, "Stop."
The emperor was suspicious by nature. When he was holding Sheng Xiyan just now, he smelled a watery fragrance. On whom had he smelled this fragrance before?
Qi Yan! Yes, it was Qi Yan's scent.
"Hurry to Guanju Palace and search everywhere. Don't leave a single corner untouched!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guards quickly returned to Guanju Palace to search, but fortunately Qi Yan had already left.
Xuan Ling believed in his intuition.
"Go check the palace gates, especially the East and West Huamen."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Donghua Gate was closed these days. Qi Yan threw out the iron hook he had prepared long ago, pulled the rope, and flew out of the tall red gate like a roc.
In order to visit Sheng Xiyan, he started preparing yesterday and even made a false pretense of leaving the palace at noon.
After one stick of incense, in the Yangxin Palace.
The commander of the Imperial Guards replied:
"Your Majesty, there's nothing unusual at the East and West Hua Gates. Furthermore, Marquis Wu'an left the palace from the Shenwu Gate at noon today."
Xuan Ling gently stroked the jade ring. Could it be that his feeling was wrong?
Qi Yan, you'd better not seek death.
Thinking about not seeing the coral bonsai that Sheng Xiyan liked in Guanju Palace just now, he ordered:
"Tell the Imperial Household Department, the Imperial Kitchen, and the Six Departments that anyone who dares to withhold the Concubine Chen's share will be beheaded."
Eunuch Fu bowed and said, "I will go and pass on the oral order right away."
At noon the next day, Guanju Palace was extremely lively.
Defei and Shufei came to the house, followed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Kitchen, who brought a lot of things.
The scene was funny, but that was the reality in the palace.
They may sneer at you one moment and fawn over you the next.
Sheng Xiyan leaned lazily on the plum blossom couch and chuckled:
"Manager Liu, the peonies we sent this time are much more beautiful than the ones you took away. Thank you for your trouble."
Manager Liu quickly knelt down, smiling, and slapped himself.
"Don't blame me, Empress Chen. It was the negligence of the subordinates. It was my fault for not supervising them strictly."
De Fei said with a smile: "Chen Fei's complexion has not yet recovered. You have suffered this time. I brought some deer antlers and codonopsis to make soup for you to nourish yourself."
"Thank you, Sister Defei."
As the arrogant sister-in-law in the past, Concubine Shu now has to lower her face to visit Sheng Xiyan, which makes her feel depressed.
For the sake of honor and the emperor's support, I endured it.
“Two new people are coming tomorrow, ladies from aristocratic families. Who knows, there might be a big change in the harem.
Concubine Chen, I don’t know how long your favor will last.”
Sheng Xiyan picked up the jade bowl and drank the bird's nest soup, "Don't worry, Concubine Shu, my favor will definitely last longer than yours."
Concubine Shu rolled her eyes, stood up and said, "Concubine De, let's go. Don't disturb Concubine Chen's rest."
The two said goodbye, and when Concubine De left the house, Concubine Shu lowered her voice.
"You are not allowed to get entangled with A Yan anymore, otherwise you will harm him, understand?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled faintly. Who said that this is not the truth?
She couldn't see Qi Yan again, otherwise it would hurt both herself and others.
Hua Xia massaged her legs and tried hard not to tell her who had been there last night.
"Hua Xia, you bow your head when you feel guilty. In fact, I know that the emperor came last night."
"Ah? Madam, you didn't sleep last night?"
Sheng Xiyan leaned back, her hair tilted, and she stroked her sleeves.
