Prince Yu got off the carriage, wearing a brocade robe, with a handsome face and an elegant appearance.
"Miss, there's no need to read my face. You just need to tell me what your impression of me is."
Sheng Xitang looked him up and down and smelled the scent of rouge on him. He must be a good-for-nothing who hangs out in brothels.
Disgusted, he said, "I think you are an unlearned fool!"
I originally thought I would just curse and run away. No one wants to hear such derogatory words, right?
But Prince Yu's expression was so moving that he almost cried. He hugged her tightly and was extremely excited.
"Miaomiao, I finally found you!"
The maid was so frightened that she stepped forward and pulled him, "Let go of my young lady!"
Sheng Xitang grabbed the food box from the maid's hand, smashed it hard on Prince Yu's head, and ran away.
"Your Majesty! Are you alright?"
Prince Yu touched the big red and swollen bump on his forehead.
"Go follow her and see whose girl she is!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The servant ran to see, and saw that my prince had a new target of trouble!
After noon, in Guanju Palace.
Sheng Xiyan woke up from her nap and sat in front of the rosewood dressing table with gold threads, staring listlessly at the jewelry cabinet.
Open a grid, sigh,
He opened it one more notch and sighed again.
Hua Xia combed her hair and joked, "Your Majesty, reselling the imperial jewels is against palace rules. You can't even think of that."
Meixiang used fresh flowers to scent a clean dress.
"Our queen has made eight hundred taels in two or three days, so there is no need to resell jewelry."
Sheng Xiyan grabbed the glittering hairpins and jewelry and shook her head.
Shanhu pushed over another row of jewelry cabinets and opened them one by one for her to choose.
"Madam, which hairpin are you wearing today?"
Sheng Xiyan wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I haven't bought any new jewelry in half a month! Woo woo woo!"
Hua Xia took the opportunity to say:
"Yes, I heard that Concubine Cui was not only promoted to Shuyuan, but the emperor also rewarded her with many good things. I guess the Department of Decoration and the Department of Clothing have all gone to Yaohua Palace recently!"
Sheng Xiyan said angrily: "I won't wear it anymore. No one is satisfied."
I finally understand why the concubines competed for favor. They competed for jewelry, gorgeous clothes, and high-end tonics. These are so important to women.
"Hua Xia, I used to be such a simple person, I would never worry about jewelry."
Since entering the palace, she has been spoiled and vain by the endless rewards bestowed upon her by Xuan Ling.
"So, my lady, you must make progress and find a way to win my favor."
I could rely on my beauty, but I chose to work hard...
I can't bear to spend the money I earn from my hard work on these expensive jewels...
While the love is still there, I'm going to fight for your favor.
Don't wait until the rain stops and the clouds disappear, then cry your heart out when the kindness is gone.
"Alright, I'll make some medicinal food and go to the Yangxin Palace to pay my respects to the Emperor at noon. I'll also find out how far Cui Shuyuan has gotten."
"That's right, Your Majesty, go tell the Emperor how much you miss him. You will definitely be able to win him back."
Sheng Xiyan got up and went to the small kitchen.
"Don't get your hopes up too much. Once a man changes his mind, it's not easy to bring him back."
At noon, in the Yangxin Palace.
Xuan Ling finished reviewing two piles of memorials.
Cui Nianmi quickly presented the ginseng tea.
Xuan Ling drank half of the cup and asked, "How is the harem these days?"
Eunuch Fu said, "In reply to the Emperor, nothing much has happened in the past few days, except that many of the medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital have been snatched away by the Empress."
"Why?"
"It was the Concubine Chen who prescribed the Jade Maiden Xiaoyao medicine, so the ladies all went to prepare it."
The Jade Girl’s prescription for happiness?
Xuan Ling was just thinking about it when a palace maid came in from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Chen requests an audience."
Cui Nianmi secretly saw the emperor's mouth corners slightly raised.
