Xuan Ling said sternly, "Madam Qi, why are you thanking me?"
Sheng Xiyan spoke slowly and leisurely, her voice soft and narrative, as beautiful as a clear spring, touching the heart.
"First of all, I would like to thank the Emperor for recognizing Yan Lang, which has enabled him to fulfill his ideal of serving the country.
Secondly, I would like to thank the Emperor for conferring upon me the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, which has allowed me to lead a carefree life with my young child.
Thank you three times, Your Majesty..."
She paused as she spoke, and Concubine Shu was a little frightened. Emperor Xuanwu had always been known for his changeable moods, making him difficult to predict. The dragon's might and wrath were just a hair's breadth away.
"Your Majesty, this is my first time entering the palace. I'm a little nervous facing your wisdom and might. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Xuan Ling curled his lips and smiled faintly, "I don't think she is nervous at all."
The emperor's facial features are clear and three-dimensional, and he looks very heroic. There is a faint, impenetrable light in his black eyes.
Sheng Xiyan raised her head slightly, looking into the emperor's unfathomable black eyes, which were as clear as spring water, and her delicate and beautiful face was more beautiful than flowers.
She didn't want to tell Concubine Shu about the prince and his wife stealing the child, and wanted a chance to be alone with the emperor.
"Madam Qi, please continue." The voice was majestic and deep.
Sheng Xiyan prostrated herself and said, "The third thank you is for Yan Lang's concern... Thank you, Your Majesty..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
Concubine Shu was on pins and needles. She had never seen anyone dare to keep the emperor in suspense before. She was afraid that it would bring trouble to Prince E's Mansion and herself.
Xuan Ling looked solemn as he looked down at a cluster of crimson flowers kneeling on the ground.
"You know acupuncture, maybe it can help with headaches?"
“A little bit.”
Xuan Ling stood up and said, "Well, follow me to the Yangxin Palace."
"promise."
Sheng Xiyan followed the emperor out of the palace gate, and behind her, Concubine Shu and the palace maids respectfully said, "Farewell, Your Majesty."
Concubine Shu touched her waist and said, "I really feel a fever. Could acupuncture cure my uterine cold?"
The head nanny helped her into the Zhucui Gate and said, "It's not impossible. Your Majesty's body is fine. She just needs to take good care of herself and she will definitely be able to conceive an heir to the throne."
Concubine Shu had just sweated from acupuncture and was a little thirsty, so she picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"What does Sheng Xiyan want to say to the emperor? And she's avoiding me."
"You must be talking about the Crown Prince's Consort adopting the young master. Second Madam is too simple-minded. How could the Emperor care about the family affairs of a minister?"
The head nanny was an old woman who had followed him from Prince E's palace. "I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
"Go ahead."
"The Second Madam's appearance and figure are truly exceptional. I'm afraid she'll go to the Yangxin Palace..."
Concubine Shu scolded, "Shut up! Your Majesty has always been wise and virtuous. How could he touch my wife?"
The head nanny knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking too much."
On the bluestone road of the imperial palace.
At the top of the imperial carriage, the emperor's seven-foot-eight-inch figure looked even more majestic, like a towering mountain, blocking the scorching sun's rays. Sheng Xiyan walked beside him, just in the shade.
Looking at it with a cold and stern gaze, beside the imperial carriage, the beauty's profile is full of spirit and elegance, and she is the essence of literature and art, which makes people forget the world.
I have to admit that she is indeed a stunning beauty who makes people forget where they are at first sight.
Sheng Xiyan knew very well that only the emperor could solve the dilemma of separation between mother and child. As for how to do it, she could only follow her feelings.
I've already thought of a set of excuses, although it's a bit risky.
The opportunity to see the emperor is like picking the moon from the sky, and she must seize this rare opportunity.
The imperial carriage stopped at the entrance of a palace. On the plaque was the golden characters "Yangxin Palace" on a deep blue background.
Sheng Xiyan took the gold needle bag and followed the emperor in.
