"Shut up!" She was frightened when she heard the words "can't stop".
"I got carried away by my sudden promotion. Sister Sheng was right to remind me. Father has finally achieved a great achievement, and I must not let it be tarnished by me."
"Master, maybe Miss Sheng is jealous of you and is deliberately spoiling your fun. Why do you take it seriously?"
Gao Shurong rolled her eyes at her and said, "A good sister is someone who is willing to tell the truth. She is much better than someone who takes advantage of someone's misfortune."
There was a sound outside the hall, and another palace maid came in happily.
"Master, the eunuch in front of the emperor has come to deliver a message!"
Gao Shurong excitedly hurried out of the side hall. Eunuch Li in front of the emperor said, "My Lady Gao, the Emperor will be in Ningshuang Palace for lunch tomorrow. Please be prepared to receive him."
"I understand. It's hard work, father-in-law."
Banli stuffed a bright yellow gold ingot into Eunuch Li's pocket.
After the eunuch left, Ban Li whispered, "My Lord, the Emperor is coming tomorrow. Will you use the ylang-ylang ointment?"
Gao Shurong twisted her arm and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
At noon the next day, outside Ningshuang Palace.
Gao Shurong had been waiting for a long time and finally saw the imperial carriage arrive.
He greeted him with a smile on his face, "Good luck to the Emperor."
Xuan Ling walked into Ningshuang Palace with a smile, "Your Majesty, I live in the side hall. Please come in."
Although the side hall is not big, the sunlight is shining in at this time, making the area in front of the round table bright and warm.
Several palace maids hurriedly prepared the morning meal. Gao Shurong stood there carefully setting the dishes. She was so nervous that she couldn't even smile.
The more nervous you are, the more mistakes you make. When I was making the soup, it spilled out, which was really unsightly.
She hurriedly apologized, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am just too clumsy."
Xuan Ling said, "Don't be so reserved, just sit down."
How could she dare to eat it? Although she was sitting, she kept picking up food for Xuanwu and didn't notice that the food had become a small mountain.
Xuan Ling's heart, which had originally relaxed, seemed to have returned to the rhythm of handling state affairs in the morning, and he suddenly lost his appetite.
It was not easy to just throw down his chopsticks and leave, so he took a bite of the dish and said, "My beloved, your dress is nice today."
When Gao Shurong heard this, her face turned red with shyness, and she was even more glad that she asked Sheng Xiyan to help her choose.
In the main hall, Yun Guirong could not miss this opportunity to contact Emperor Xuanwu, she had to try her best to hang the green card back.
She entered the side hall carrying a plate of lotus cakes and wearing a pink peony brocade skirt.
She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine has met you."
Xuan Ling glanced at her.
"Originally, I didn't dare to disturb you, but last time I displeased the Emperor, I've been reflecting on this every day and know I was wrong. Today, I've taken the liberty of bringing some snacks to visit the Emperor."
She spoke sadly and movingly, tears in her eyes. She put the plate of snacks on the table and knelt beside Xuan Ling's feet.
Gao Shurong was furious. This person was clearly trying to snatch the emperor's favor. She stepped forward and helped her up, smiling, "Sister Yun, the ground is so cold. My place isn't as big as the palace carpet in the main hall."
Yun Guirong pushed her away, knelt down, took two steps forward, and pulled at her black dragon robe, "Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong. I will not speak nonsense again in the future. Please forgive me."
Xuan Ling put down his jade robe and looked at her coldly. Suddenly he noticed that half of her right eyebrow had fallen off.
Surprised, he asked, "Yun Guirong, where are your eyebrows?"
Gao Shurong took one look and screamed, "Sister Yun, your eyebrows are bald!"
When Yun Guirong heard this, he reached out and touched it. Sure enough, half of the brow peak was smooth and the other half was hairy. He was so scared that he quickly stood up and ran for his life.
It's so ugly without eyebrows. I must not let the emperor see it, otherwise I will never be able to put the green card back in my life.
I was surprised again about where half of my eyebrow had gone, and I quickly went to look in the mirror.
In the side hall, Xuan Ling stood up and walked away, and heard a scream from the main hall, followed by a palace maid shouting, "Master, Master!"
Gao Shurong smiled secretly in her heart, he really deserved it.
The maidservant in the main hall ran out and said tremblingly, "The master has fainted from fright."
Xuan Ling said calmly, "Go ask the imperial physician to see what the condition is."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shurong escorted Xuan Ling to the imperial carriage and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
After the imperial carriage left, Gao Shurong walked into the palace gate with great joy, saying with a smile: "In this day and age, there are still such good things. Let her bully others again."
Yun Guirong used to rely on his high position to bully Gao Shurong. He would snatch away her good things and always suppress her with bad words.
As night falls, the Qianqing Palace is brightly lit and a grand banquet for a thousand elders is being held.
Xuan Ling savored the delicacies on the table. Some of the dishes were particularly delicious. With an idea in mind, he ordered, "Send these dishes and snacks to Guanju Palace for Sheng Chongyuan to taste."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In the main hall of Guanju Palace, Sheng Xiyan was playing with building blocks with Jiang Jiang on the soft couch, and the mother and son were having a great time.
At this time, Eunuch Fu came in with a group of people carrying four large food boxes.
"My Lady Sheng, the Emperor is thinking of you and has specially ordered his servants to bring you these imperial gifts. Please enjoy them. The Emperor also said that he will come to see you after he is done with his work for the past two days."
Sheng Xiyan smiled slightly, took out a box of ointment from the drawer and handed it to Eunuch Fu, saying with concern: "I see you are always rubbing your knees. Is it arthritis caused by moisture?"
"Yeah, it's an old problem."
Sheng Xiyan comforted him, "I made an ointment that may help your symptoms. You might as well try it."
Eunuch Fu was filled with gratitude. He accepted the ointment and thanked her repeatedly, "Mrs. Sheng is truly kind and kind-hearted! I will not be polite to you. Please enjoy your meal while it's still hot. I will take my leave now."
"Take care, father-in-law."
Every time there was a reward, the people serving inside and outside the hall were extremely excited.
Hua Xia and Mei Xiang opened the food box and said in awe, "It's indeed a dish bestowed by the emperor. It looks so high-end and smells so good."
