Xuan Ling then saw clearly that she was wearing a honey-colored silk shirt with a precious pattern, which hid her enchanting body.
Sheng Xiyan wiped the blood off his philtrum with a wet handkerchief, hugged him and said, "It's okay, it's okay. A moderate amount of nosebleed can eliminate excess heat in the body and help relieve internal heat.
She was the first person to hug and comfort him, apart from his childhood mother.
Xuan Ling's heart was transformed from the love between men and women to an indescribable warmth.
He is an emperor, he doesn't need tenderness, he only needs ruthlessness and iron fist.
Thousands of people are crawling at his feet, and the dragon throne he sits on is inlaid with dazzling yet cold gems.
But he is also a flesh-and-blood person.
Sheng Xiyan ran to pour cold tea again, and saw a crystal pear on the soft couch and low kang table, so she brought it over along with the plate.
In the inner hall, Xuan Ling rubbed his forehead in regret. "Haven't I ever seen a woman before?" He actually had a nosebleed. Oh, how shameful.
When he saw her come in, he pretended to be serious and leaned against the back of the bed.
"Your Majesty, have some more herbal tea."
Xuan Ling drank a cup of cold tea and said, "I am just getting angry."
Sheng Xiyan suppressed a smile and said comfortingly, "Indeed, Your Majesty's nosebleed is caused by internal heat, nothing else."
She picked up a fruit knife and skillfully peeled the crystal pear. Not only that, she also arranged it into several shapes on the plate.
"Little white dog shape?"
"The fact that the Emperor can recognize it proves that I have arranged it very similarly. Come and eat it quickly. Pears are cooling in nature and are best eaten when you have a sore throat."
Xuan Ling picked up the little white dog's ears and ate one, fed her the other ear, and ate the dog's head himself.
She posed again, and he said, "White swan?"
Sheng Xiyan put down the fruit knife, pulled his arm and said with a smile: "This neck is too short, at most it looks like a big white duck... cluck cluck cluck..."
Realizing that Xuan Ling had been staring at her intently, Sheng Xiyan stopped laughing and said, "If the emperor says it is a swan, then it is a swan."
Xuan Ling reached out and gently stroked her hair, as if hinting at something. "Ducks fly side by side on the rippling water, frogs sing drunkenly in the lotus breeze."
Sheng Xi Yan Hui said, "Ducks swim in the green water among the lotus flowers, and gulls and herons come to swim on the white sand."
She turned her head and leaned close to his ear and said, "Your Majesty, when you've calmed down, I'll make you some spicy lotus duck. You like spicy food, right?"
The emperor's preferences cannot be known. Usually, all the food in the imperial meal will be taken away after being touched, and no matter how much the emperor likes the food, he will not be asked for a third time.
Xuan Ling nodded. She didn't understand what he said about 'winged ducks'. She said solemnly, "I'm looking forward to it."
The two of them lay down, their hands still clasped together, and it was unknown when they had held hands together.
"Go to sleep. I will punish them tomorrow morning to vent your anger."
"Um."
The next morning, after washing and changing clothes, the last step was for Sheng Xiyan to hang the sachet she embroidered on Xuan Ling.
The two walked out hand in hand. In the courtyard, Xuan Ling glanced at the flower garden and said, "Yan Yan, besides tuberose, I hope you can plant some other plants and flowers."
Maybe it was out of his selfish motives.
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "I want to plant an agarwood tree. Agarwood trees bring wealth, protect the house, and ward off evil spirits. Is that okay with you, Your Majesty?"
Xuan Ling didn't know whether she understood or not, but he was very satisfied with the answer.
"That's great! Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find a few agarwood saplings. After they're planted, I'll water them with you."
Sheng Xiyan held his arm and reluctantly sent him off to the imperial carriage, but he still hadn't let go of her hand.
"Yanyan, I'm here to have dinner with you today."
"Your Majesty, tonight is the fifteenth night. You should go to the Empress."
Xuan Ling nodded, "Okay, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. The palace will be very lively and you can enjoy the garden. You will definitely like it. I will accompany you and Jiangjiang to celebrate the festival."
Sheng Xiyan bowed and saluted, "Farewell, Your Majesty."
After the imperial carriage left, Hua Xia accompanied Sheng Xiyan back.
Dun Shuyuan came out of the side hall. She had waited all night but didn't see Emperor Xuanwu leave the main hall. She was disappointed.
"Sister Sheng, did you sleep well last night?"
Sheng Xiyan said elegantly: "Rest with the emperor, refreshed, naturally very good. It's a pity that sister Dun hurt herself and hurt the enemy..."
She held up her fingernail and said, "You've done such a small loss by injuring the enemy. You must be feeling bad, right?"
Dun Shuyuan said stubbornly: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Sheng Xiyan pointed to the scratch on her cheek and said, "Hurry up and apply some Sanqi powder mixed with vinegar, or honey will also work. Be careful not to leave scars."
Dun Shuyuan touched her face and sneered, "Are you so kind?"
"Sister Dun, I told you the other day that your forehead was black and you would be punished within two days. It was absolutely true. Go back and wait."
Just as Dun Shuyuan was about to shout, she saw the palace maids running towards her.
"Master Dun, the emperor has given his orders."
Dun Shuyuan knelt down quickly, regretting that she shouldn't have come out. Was she going to be punished by kneeling in front of Sheng Xiyan?
"Dun Shuyuan, you are gossiping, framing others, and acting like a villain. You are destroying the harmony of the harem. I will punish you with fifty slaps and make you copy the palace rules one hundred times."
"I accept your order, long live your majesty."
Dun Shuyuan stood up and pleaded, "Eunuch, let's go back to the side hall and slap him."
The eunuch nodded.
Dun Shuyuan looked back and saw that Sheng Xiyan had left for some reason. She suddenly felt that she had saved a little bit of face.
In the Yangxin Palace, Xuan Ling was reading the memorials submitted to the court today.
Eunuch Fu said carefully, "Your Majesty, Master Dun has already been punished. The four pieces of silk that Concubine Jia stole, plus a box of golden fruit as a penalty, have also been sent to Guanju Palace."
Xuan Ling raised his eyes and asked sternly, "Did you say the other day that 'Young Master Sheng isn't very smart'?"
When Eunuch Fu heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "I was wrong. I will never do it again. Your Majesty, please calm down."
