Chapter 25: Heart-wrenching



Sheng Xiyan bowed and said, "Empress Liang, I will go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Jiang Jiang.

Concubine Liang cursed, "You little bitch, just wait, I'll kill you when I get the chance!"

After she had mounted the chariot and left, Concubine Shu came out from behind. Her maid said, "Your Highness, it will be wonderful to have Concubine Liang to deal with Concubine Sheng in the future."

Shu Fei smiled in an unfathomable way. Liang Fei's role was not only to deal with Sheng Fei, but also to do more. And Su Yunluan, who had just entered the palace, also quickly joined the battle.

However, when Xuan Ling took Queen Duan away today, Concubine Shu was extremely envious. At least the Queen could be with the Emperor on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, while other concubines could not.

The palace lanterns are just lit in Jingren Palace.

On the Arhat couch, Xuan Ling held Le Wen and played with the toys for a while. "Le Wen, do you like Jiang Jiang? Are you satisfied with the engagement your father has arranged for you and him?"

Princess Lewen didn't understand either. She was less than two years old and couldn't speak. She just babbled, but she was very happy.

Empress Duan came out after bathing, wearing a yellow Yanluo robe, with her long hair hanging down, looking extremely gentle.

"Le Wen loves playing with Jiang Jiang. The two children have very similar temperaments. The Emperor's decision is wise."

She did not go to the other end of the couch, but sat down next to Xuan Ling.

The opportunity for the couple to spend time together for two days a month is precious. Queen Duan's eyes are full of Xuan Ling, and she even serves tea and water herself.

"Your Majesty, let me massage your shoulders."

In order to massage Xuan Ling's shoulders, she rarely grew her nails long.

After a while, the palace maid brought hot water.

Queen Duan knelt on the palace carpet, pulled down Xuan Ling's calves, took off his yellow socks and soaked his feet.

There was a medicinal bath in the golden basin. She scooped water with her hands and gently stroked the emperor's feet, enjoying every movement.

"Queen, you are pregnant. You don't need to work hard. Get up."

"It's all right with me."

Xuan Ling handed the trapped Le Wen to the wet nurse and saw the woman squatting on the ground serving him, with a smile on her face.

"Empress, the Grand Marshal submitted a memorial the other day requesting a position for your nephew in the Ministry of Personnel. I don't think he's suitable for the Ministry of Personnel, so I'll just let him be a minor official."

Empress Duan felt ashamed and embarrassed. She knew very well what kind of nephew she was. He had no rank in the imperial examinations and had no special talents. She really didn't know where her father got the nerve to ask the emperor for this favor.

She used a velvet cloth to wipe Xuan Ling's feet and carefully helped his legs back onto the couch.

"I am sorry that I have put Your Majesty in a difficult position. He has no moral integrity or talent, and even a minor official in the Ministry of Personnel might not be qualified for the job."
