Emperor Xuanwu's slender fingers gently fiddled with the gilded hourglass on the dragon table.
His expression was calm and ripple-free.
The hall was so quiet that it seemed as if the air was blocked. Cui Nianmi and Eunuch Fu, the other two serving palace servants, dared not make a sound.
Sheng Xiyan, you finally can't sit still anymore.
Whoosh, Xuan Ling snapped his middle finger and the hourglass flipped over rapidly.
"My dear, I want to hear a little song. Please sing it to me. It should be a song with deep feelings, telling the love story of a man and a woman."
Cui Nianmi was shocked and frightened. My beloved concubine - is he calling her?
During the four days that she served in the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xuanwu did not say a word to her. This was the first sentence.
She said in a trembling voice: "I...I obey your order."
Although the lady, who was carefully trained by aristocratic families, was very nervous, she could sing a song with ease.
A melodious and graceful song sounded.
When the news reached outside the palace, Sheng Xiyan pricked up her ears to listen.
Lingering, whispering, and moving...
Eunuch Fu came out.
"Empress Chen, the Emperor is listening to a little music. Please wait a moment."
Sheng Xiyan chuckled, "It's okay, I'll be waiting."
This dragon listens to lascivious music before the sun sets and neglects state affairs!
A black-faced guard standing guard at the door grinned at her. Sheng Xiyan walked over and looked him up and down.
I recognized that this was the young man who followed Qi Yan.
Neither of them spoke, but nodded to each other.
Don't worry, aunt, uncle is now well.
There is a future for the Palace Guard, young man, do a good job.
Huaxia and Meixiang spread two handkerchiefs on the steps.
"If you are tired, please sit down and rest for a while."
Sheng Xiyan went to see the tuberose flowerpot placed next to the white marble pillar with dragon carvings outside the hall.
The originally blooming flowers were cut into a bare short seedling.
Love has really disappeared, even flowers are an eyesore to him.
The love songs coming from the hall are beautiful, sincere and touching.
"Holding your hand... sharing the spring and autumn... even if my face has become rusty... in this life, I only wish to grow old together..."
As Sheng Xiyan listened, tears welled up in her eyes.
Hi, why am I suffering from empathy again?
Eunuch Fu said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Emperor summons you into the palace."
Sheng Xiyan took the food box and walked into the hall.
As you walk, calm your emotions and remember what you are here for today.
She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health."
Xuan Ling hadn't heard this voice for a few days, so he savored it carefully and flipped through a memorial book.
Cui Nianmi bowed and saluted, "Your concubine greets Her Majesty the Consort Chen."
"Sister Cui, please don't be polite."
Cui Nianmi stood next to the dragon table, where Sheng Xiyan used to stand.
Xuan Ling put the letter away and threw it into the golden basket.
Then he looked at Sheng Xiyan, and their eyes met.
His dark eyes,
She is a pool of clear water,
"Why is Concubine Chen here?"
The emperor's voice was low and magnetic, without the gentleness and indulgence of the past.
Sheng Xiyan forced a smile,
"I prepared some medicinal food and sent it to the emperor."
Eunuch Fu took the food box to test for poison.
Xuan Ling turned his neck and said, "I have read a lot of memorials today."
He glanced at Cui Nianmi, who understood and quickly moved from the dragon table to behind him.
He just raised his hand to the back of the emperor's dragon robe.
Sheng Xiyan quickly walked over in five or six steps and pulled her away.
Cui Nianmi did not resist and just stood aside.
Sheng Xiyan was behind Xuan Ling and said softly:
"Your Majesty, Sister Cui has been working hard for several days. Now, let me give you a massage, okay?"
Xuan Ling opened his thin lips slightly, "Alright, thank you for your hard work, my beloved concubine."
She leaned her head close to his, and the tuberose mixed with her body fragrance drifted into the emperor's nostrils.
He slowly closed his eyes.
A pair of white and tender hands pinched his shoulders, then slid to his collar, and his fingers caressed and teased his neck.
It's getting out of control.
Xuan Ling shuddered and pretended to move the dragon throne casually, but in fact he was already aroused and his ears turned red.
Sheng Xiyan, you came here today to seduce me, and you really put a lot of thought into it.
Then what comes next will be even more exciting.
"Your Majesty, are you comfortable?"
Xuan Ling took the opportunity to hold the little hand he had been thinking about day and night.
"My beloved concubine is still so capable."
This hand is soft, smooth and fragrant. I really want to take a bite of it and kiss every finger.
Eunuch Fu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, would you like afternoon tea now?"
"Let's prepare the meal."
"yes."
On the Arhat soft couch and golden sandalwood kang table, the palace maids from the imperial kitchen quickly laid out ten kinds of exquisite refreshments and nourishing snacks.
Xuan Ling stood up, and Sheng Xiyan held his arm like a clingy kitten.
The emperor sat on the couch and called out to the woman standing not far away.
"Mi'er, come here."
These two intimate words made Sheng Xiyan's blood rush from the soles of her feet to her forehead.
Pinch your hands and calm down.
In anger, he rolled his eyes so wide that his pupils were invisible.
Mi'er, you're still breastfeeding!
Cui Nianmi felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and became anxious.
She hadn't figured out what was going on for the past two days, but now she finally understood.
"Your Majesty, I will serve you dinner."
Sheng Xiyan smiled brightly: "My concubine and Sister Cui will serve the emperor together."
Xuan Ling said warmly:
"Concubine Chen, your position is higher than Mi'er's. Please accompany me to eat and let Mi'er serve me. She is smart and capable, and she serves me very comfortably."
Sheng Xiyan sat down and placed a piece of chestnut honey pastry on the white jade plate in front of the emperor.
"Sister Cui is indeed good. If the emperor likes her, I like her too. I love her and her dog."
