It was not until noon that Jiang Jiang ran into the Yangxin Palace.
"Father, I'm done with get out of class. Please test me. I've memorized everything the Grand Tutor taught me today."
Xuan Ling put down the imperial pen, straightened his crest that had fallen askew, and adjusted his small brocade robe.
"Baby, I heard from the Grand Tutor that you have a strong ability to absorb knowledge. Have you already added the Twenty-Four Histories to the Four Books and Five Classics?"
The general said happily, "Yes, I will recite to my father what I learned today."
"good."
"The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit."
Xuan Ling pulled his hand and asked, "What do you mean?"
The general argued confidently, "What you're saying is, 'People come and go in this bustling world, all for the pursuit of profit, driven mostly by profit?'"
Xuan Ling nodded and said, "This statement reflects the common desire for material possessions and status. However, Jiang Jiang should also understand that benevolence, righteousness, and morality are the foundation of life. The pursuit of interests must also be in accordance with morality in order to feel at ease."
Jiang Jiang tilted his head and listened carefully. "I understand. There's a saying: A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. Only when he feels at ease and at peace with himself can he live a comfortable life! Father, am I right?"
Xuan Ling stroked his hair. "My dear, you are so smart. You have to learn classics, history, literature, archery, and martial arts slowly. Are you afraid of hardship?"
"Don't be afraid! I want to make Father proud of me! Father, can you please stop quarreling with Mother? When we were outside the palace, Mother cried secretly many times! Even with Ji Kang, Pan An, and Ling Ling to cheer her up, Mother was still unhappy."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xuan Ling felt guilty and distressed, but the second half made his eyebrows suddenly raise.
He'd seen the fake Lingling before, but Sheng Xiyan also transformed into Ji Kang and Pan An? This woman really knows how to embrace people!
At this time, Eunuch Fu brought people to serve afternoon tea.
Xuan Ling led Jiang Jiang to the soft couch, fed him a piece of honeydew melon, and asked, "Jiang Jiang, what did your mother do with them?"
Jiang Jiang said with a smile: "Ji Kang and Pan An mainly played with me, while Lingling was always with mother. He was very good at making people laugh. Mother was amused by him and they also..."
Xuan Lingfeng's eyes flashed, "What else did you do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Xiyan took Hua Xia's hand and walked in with graceful manner.
She wore a fluffy cape with a gilded ribbon and a peony pattern, which made her face look petite, charming, and fair with a rosy glow.
The jeweled tassels of Huasheng hang down in front of her full forehead, which is pure and beautiful, and extremely bright.
Xuan Ling's originally furrowed brows relaxed involuntarily, and he stared at her for a moment.
"Good luck to the Emperor."
Why did Sheng Xiyan feel that the atmosphere was a little off?
Whenever Xuan Ling got angry, his thin lips would straighten, his expression would be intimidating without him even getting angry, and there would be a chill in his air.
Jiang Jiang stuck out his tongue and said, "I didn't say anything, Father, Mother, I just want to go out and play for a while!"
After saying this, he ran out of the Yangxin Palace.
Sheng Xiyan snuggled up to the emperor and wanted to pull up his arms and get into his arms, but he remained cold and motionless.
Why are you so depressed? Are you thinking about that dirty thing Xue Qiong?
Xuan Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. She was so charming and beautiful. No wonder that faker was so persistent and everything he said the day before was to sow discord between him and her.
There was a sentence among them that he remembered vividly, "Yan Yan and I are the most loving couple outside the palace!"
Loving couple, how far have they come?
What have you done?
Could it be that he has done everything?
Xuan Ling's blood rushed to his head when he thought about it. His heart was being eaten away by the love poison. He put his hand on his forehead, too angry to utter a word.
What can I say?
He was the one who was driven out of the palace because he was angry, and the fake one looked exactly like him.
But it wasn't him after all!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"
Sheng Xiyan pulled his hand, and as soon as Xuan Ling shook it off, she threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around him, put her cheek on his chest, raised her face and blinked her big watery eyes.
"What crime have I committed? My husband, please tell me so I can know."
Xuan Ling bit his back teeth, lowered his voice, and asked, "You, you are outside the palace..."
The palace maid came to add more tea and snacks, and the emperor immediately stopped talking.
"What happened outside the palace?" Sheng Xiyan asked.
Xuan Ling covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down, Guanghui!"
The palace maid bowed and retreated. Seeing this, Eunuch Fu also hurriedly retreated and closed the palace door.
Suddenly, a big hand clamped the beauty's jaw, and the emperor's eyes suddenly darkened, like the gloom before the dark clouds fell overhead.
"You...explain yourself clearly!"
Sheng Xiyan blinked her eyelashes gently, like a butterfly fluttering into the emperor's heart.
She held down his hand that was stuck under her chin, and her eyes moved like apricot blossoms wet with morning dew.
Huanxi said: "Yes, yes, that's the feeling. Xuanlang, if you pinch my neck and we kiss, there will be a feeling of excitement that will make my soul tremble, and it will arouse all the emotions in my body.
You will enjoy the ultimate desire for control and possession."
Xuan Ling: “…….?”
Why did she sound so sincere, yet he felt like he was being deceived?
His tone grew colder as he demanded, "Noble Concubine, what did you do with that imposter outside the palace? Tell the truth!"
Sheng Xiyan instructed, "At this time, Your Majesty, you should glare at me angrily, then gradually tighten your grip and grit your teeth..."
A crow flew across Xuan Ling's forehead. "...I know. You must be trying to change the subject by avoiding the important points and talking nonsense. Tell me, what did you and the faker do? How far have you progressed?"
Sheng Xiyan understood that she must have let it slip just now, letting Xuan Ling know that she was surrounded by handsome men outside the palace.
