Hua Xia nodded first, then shook her head.
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "A concubine's primary mission is to reproduce for the royal family. If the emperor doesn't go to other palaces, where will the princes and princesses come from?"
"But, my lady, you are also fertile. Don't you want to have a prince?"
Sheng Xiyan flipped a page of the book and said calmly, "Only by giving birth to a royal heir can I secure my position, but I want to wait until Jiang Jiang is a little older, otherwise he will be too pitiful."
Hua Xia asked softly, "My lady, are you sad that the emperor is going to another palace?"
"Why are you sad? The emperor is not mine."
Hua Xia was a little anxious. "There is only one emperor. If he goes to another palace, he can't come to accompany my lady. How can my lady have status if she doesn't fight for his favor?"
Sheng Xiyan took her hand and said, "Of course I want to compete for favor, but the emperor is the emperor who shoulders the responsibility of the country and the people. He has to balance the forces and cannot favor only one person. I will fight for a piece of land and live with you guys with Jiangjiang, which is good enough."
Hua Xia's eyes were red. If the Second Master hadn't died in battle, how great would that be? It was obvious that the young lady loved to go out and play.
She still remembered the six months after they got married. Every time Qi Yan came back late, she would accompany Sheng Xiyan to quietly go out of the small door of the palace to wait.
After a long time, Qi Yan picked up Sheng Xiyan at the small gate to go to the night market.
I always bring back food and daily necessities for Hua Xia.
"My lady, do you want to go outside the palace?"
Sheng Xiyan closed the book, stretched, and said with a smile: "The palace is good. The only bad thing is that I can't see my mother, brother, sister-in-law, and Xitang."
Said excitedly: "Hua Xia, I have an idea."
"Young Master, would you like to ask the Emperor to allow Madam and the others to come to the palace for a reunion?"
Sheng Xiyan shook her head. "That's not possible. Palace rules stipulate that only pregnant concubines can invite their families into the palace for a reunion. I was thinking of my eldest brother. If I work harder and wait until the summer solstice, I can ask the emperor to restore his eligibility for the imperial examination. Then, my eldest brother can participate in this year's autumn examination."
Hua Xia said with a smile, "The eldest son is a learned man, he will definitely take first place! So my lady, you must compete for his favor, that way you will have everything."
Sheng Xiyan got off the soft couch, yawned, and went to the inner hall to rest.
"Of course I'll fight, but I have to be very specific. I'm so sleepy."
The next day, it was dawn.
Inside the hall, there is the faint orchid fragrance of tuberose. When the curtains are drawn, the orchid fragrance mixed with the sweet and alluring body fragrance of the woman can be heard.
The fragrant breeze is so gentle that it makes people intoxicated, and the beautiful body lies down.
Sheng Xiyan felt an itchy sensation behind her and murmured, "Jiang Jiang, please stop making trouble and let mother sleep a little longer."
The feeling became stronger and stronger, causing her heart to beat suddenly like thunder. She suddenly woke up and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
Sheng Xiyan suddenly pressed the hand on her waist. This hand was not a small, fleshy hand.
Is it him?
Xuan Ling lay down on his side behind her. Sheng Xiyan turned around and got up, saying in surprise, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
He stared at her with deep eyes, his cold pupils floating with soft waves.
He reached out and stroked her soft long hair. "I woke you up. Did you sleep well last night?"
Emperors don't talk much, but when they do, there's always a deep meaning behind their words.
Sheng Xiyan jumped up, laid on his chest, and said in a soft voice: "I didn't sleep well. Maybe it's because I moved to a new place and a new bed."
The soft tone carried a hint of fear and pity.
Actually, we moved to a more spacious palace, which is very comfortable. I slept so soundly last night... Hehe...
When Xuan Ling heard her say that she didn't sleep well, his heart softened. He hugged her and said softly, "I blame myself for not spending your first night here with you last night. I scared you."
Sheng Xiyan stretched out her delicate jade fingers to caress his neck, "Don't blame the emperor, it's my fault for being so useless and timid."
Xuan Ling's eyes were dark. He really didn't sleep well. He thought of Dun Shuyuan saying that Sheng Xiyan cried yesterday because of feelings, but she was smiling in front of him. He thought she was happy to have a new palace.
"Yanyan, are you happy to move into Guanju Palace?"
"I'm glad. The day before yesterday, I was reading in the West Warm Pavilion and saw the emperor's inscription. I'm not as beautiful as your painting. I feel ashamed after seeing it."
Xuan Ling pulled her hand to his lips and rubbed it, humming in a deep voice: "The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The beautiful lady is the ideal match for the gentleman."
This is why he granted her the Guanju Palace.
He suddenly lowered his head, turned her jaw, and sealed her delicate and tempting pink lips.
With a restraint and domineering attitude that breaks through defenses, it seems as if he is releasing his inner feelings.
It seems that every slight touch conveys warmth.
It took away all the sweet breath.
She grabbed the dragon robe, frowned slightly, and trembled slightly.
His voice is deep, soft and hoarse.
"Yanyan, I want to kiss you, not just you..."
His large body enveloped her completely, sending a warm and tingling sensation across her neck.
Sheng Xiyan felt like crying.
Suddenly he struggled to wake up. What happened to the emperor? Didn’t Dun Shuyuan feed him enough last night?
Oh, it’s a bit dirty, I want to push him away.
Sheng Xiyan couldn't help but let out a moan.
The tender little hands under the big palms grabbed around like an octopus.
She closed her eyes tightly and thought, forget it, I have to serve him in bed anyway, so just treat it as a job. It has been almost four months since I entered the palace, which is a first time ever.
Just as her brain was in a mess and she was fighting, Xuan Ling's breathing became disordered and she stopped uncontrollably.
His thin lips gently pinched her dark eyebrows, licked them lightly, and moved slowly to the end of her eyes, then to the bridge of her nose, and finally to her lips, regaining his composure.
It seems like it is telling a profound history, and also like it is telling a sad and beautiful story.
