Hearing this, Sheng Xiyan felt a warmth in her heart and thought of her father, a man of few words but who cared deeply about his children.
"My father always taught me to be a thoughtful and independent person. He told me that women should also have their own skills so that they can stand on their own in the world."
Queen Duan looked at Sheng Xiyan and couldn't help feeling a little envious.
She thought of her father, a man who only cared about power and profit and never really cared about her as a daughter.
In comparison, Sheng Xiyan is so lucky to have a father who loves and supports her so much.
It's a pity that such a good father, who was dedicated to saving lives and helping the world, passed away so early.
Since Jingren Palace had a kitchen, Empress Duan had some food packed in. "These are what Le Wen likes. Concubine Sheng, take them back and give them to Jiang Jiang to eat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
After Sheng Xiyan took Hua Xia away, Qing Dai said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng knew that she was here today to explain what happened last night. She was quite sensible."
"I really envy her. People say it's a blessing for a woman to have a family background to rely on, but who knows it's a shackle? Concubine Sheng has no family background and lives a simple and sober life."
She reached out and took the cuff of the robe from the embroidery frame, gently stroking the delicate pattern on it, a satisfied smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Once this imperial robe is embroidered, I will really follow Concubine Sheng's advice and take good care of my pregnancy, and stop doing these embroidery tasks."
Qingdai nodded and agreed, "Yes, it's a good idea, Your Majesty."
It was noon, and Xuan Ling was enjoying snacks and tea after summoning the ministers in the Hongde Hall on the left side of the Qianqing Palace.
He has always maintained a fixed eating habit, with only two meals a day, breakfast after the morning court session and dinner at five in the afternoon.
In addition, there will be an additional snack after the two main meals.
At this time, Eunuch Fu came in and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, Miss Sheng stayed in Zhongcui Palace for a while... After coming out, she went to Jingren Palace..."
In fact, as long as the emperor was interested and wanted to know, he would be able to clearly know every move of each concubine. It’s just that Xuan Ling usually didn’t pay much attention to these things, so he rarely asked about them.
He picked up a piece of pea yellow and put it in his mouth, tasting it carefully while listening attentively.
We also enjoyed dragon beard pastry, kidney bean rolls and crab roe pastry in succession, and took a few bites of a pastry called "Frost Frozen Jade", which had a delicate and sweet taste.
"Today's custard tastes very good. Tell the imperial kitchen to make another portion and send it to Concubine Sheng's palace. Also, make one portion of each of these pastries and send them together. Tell Concubine Sheng that I will visit her for dinner tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ling looked at the tuberoses blooming outside the palace and fell into deep thought.
I want to know how Sheng Xiyan will perform tomorrow.
I guess she might have two ways of dealing with it.
