He lay down with his back facing Princess E.
Princess E stood up helplessly and said, "Yan'er, mother will come to see you in a few days."
She knew that Qi Yan still blamed her and Prince E for not treating Sheng Xiyan well when he was fighting on the battlefield, which caused him to lose his home.
After she left, Tiewa brought hot tea and said, "Uncle, have some tea."
Qi Yan stood up and asked, "You are going to the palace tomorrow, why haven't you packed your things yet?"
"There's nothing to pack. Aren't all the guards in the palace given robes? Uncle, I want to follow you, not be a guard."
Qi Yan knocked him on the head, "Idiot, the emperor appreciates you, so he made you a palace guard. Do you think it's so easy to get into the palace guards?"
Tiewa smiled innocently and said, "The other day at the training ground, the emperor praised me for my swift and decisive moves, saying I was a talent that could be cultivated."
Qi Yan patted his shoulder.
"Tiewa, although your mother asked you to come out with me, you are already an adult and an independent individual, not my appendage.
The sky is high and the sea is vast, you have to work hard for your dreams, understand?"
Tiewa smiled innocently, "Uncle, don't worry, I understand."
The next morning, everyone in Jingren Palace paid their respects.
Empress Duan consoled her, "Don't be discouraged, Concubine Cui. I will consult the Emperor and ask him to grant you another opportunity to sleep with him."
Cui Nianmi said softly, "I'm fine."
Concubine Jia said sarcastically, "Concubine Chen, you are really capable. You have fallen out of favor yourself, and you send your children to cause trouble."
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said nothing.
The palace maids came in from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has decreed that Miss Cui remain in his bed tonight."
"I understand."
There was a heated discussion in the palace. It seemed that the emperor was extremely interested in Concubine Cui. If he failed the first time, he would try again.
Queen Duan said with a smile:
"Empress Cui, I have given you deer antler cream and a fertility formula. Go back and take good care of yourself so that you can have children for the Emperor as soon as possible."
Cui Nianmi's face remained emotionless. "Thank you, Queen."
After the whole palace paid their respects, they walked out in twos and threes.
Concubine Dun sarcastically said, "Concubine Chen, you've finally experienced the feeling of being out of favor, haven't you? How is it? Is it good?"
Sheng Xiyan straightened her collar and chuckled:
"Little Dunzi, you've never been favored, so how do you know what it feels like to be favored or to be out of favor?
Everyone says you are funny, but you are the funniest.
Don't mess with me, you can't handle me when I go crazy, understand?"
She pushed Concubine Dun away, took Hua Xia's hand and left gracefully.
Concubine Dun stamped her feet and said, "This woman is crazy. She must be mad because of losing favor. She deserves it!"
After returning to Guanju Palace, Sheng Xiyan ordered: "At noon, have Xiao Zhuozi go and fetch Jiang Jiang back."
Hua Xia said, "Your Majesty, it's good for the young master to make trouble. After all, the emperor loves our young master."
"Once is fine, but if you delay a good thing, the emperor will be annoyed, and the concubines who didn't get to sleep with him will be dissatisfied."
As for the newcomer Cui Nianmi, Sheng Xiyan couldn't see through her. The woman was always quiet and reserved, and her indifferent temperament was unique in the palace.
"I understand."
Sheng Xiyan felt a chill on her scalp when she thought of Xuan Ling gazing at Cui Nianmi with deep affection at the crab feast.
Even at my age, I still have to suffer the pain of love.
Begging humbly will make the other party look down on you and put you in a weak position.
Your Majesty, you are no longer the Buddha who saves me.
I have to rely on myself to get through this emotional crisis.
Not caring is more advanced than being cruel.
