Sheng Xiyan said, "If you don't tell her, not only will the Empress know, but the entire palace will know. There are no secrets in the harem. I also have to thank Dun Shuyuan for pulling up the agarwood saplings."
"Are you saying this is also for the Emperor to see?"
Pity lasts longer than love. From the very beginning, Emperor Xuanwu felt more pity for her than love for her. Now, what can touch him must be that she is pitiful and helpless enough.
At night.
The beauty takes off her clothes and takes a bath, her skin as white as snow is reflected in the water.
In the mahogany bathtub, Sheng Xiyan was soaking in the hot water of flower petals.
Her skin was as white and delicate as porcelain, with a faint blush.
After the medicinal bath, a thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead.
There is a mark on the back of the right shoulder that looks like a scar and a plum blossom, with a faint pink color.
The jade hands gently massage the skin, and the rippling water makes it hard to control the emotions.
Meixiang was waiting by the bathtub with a Liaoling bathrobe. Sheng Xiyan slowly stood up, wrapped the Liaoling bathrobe lightly around her graceful body, and tiptoed out of the bathtub.
In the inner hall, on the bed.
Sheng Xiyan was lying flat on her back.
Hua Xia held a pink glass bottle in her hand, poured out some plant essential oil, and gently applied it on the exquisite soft jade.
The fragrance is everywhere.
Hua Xia was massaging with essential oil, admiring the beautiful and plump snow-white breasts. Not to mention men, even women would feel something indescribable when seeing them.
After a while, he picked up a purple glass bottle.
I couldn't help but ask, "My lady, have you remixed the recipe? The fragrance is even better than before."
Sheng Xiyan closed her eyelashes and said softly, "In addition to comfrey oil, jasmine oil, chaste tree oil, and sweet almond oil, I also added cnidium monnieri and centella asiatica oil. Not only can it make that place as moist and perky as a girl, it can also make men fascinated and obsessed with it."
Hua Xia carefully applies and massages.
Every time she did this, she would blush and her heart would beat fast. Sheng Xiyan has maintained this habit since she got married.
After the care was completed and the white satin was pulled up, Sheng Xiyan turned over comfortably, and Hua Xia picked up the hair oil to massage her hair.
After a while, the sound of the beauty resting peacefully could be heard.
After a full hour of operation, Hua Xia carefully placed Sheng Xiyan's long black satin hair next to the pillow.
He pulled a thin quilt over her, lowered the curtains, blew out the butter lamps in the hall, and left.
Although it was night, the lights in the Yangxin Palace were still brightly lit.
After reading the memorial, Xuan Ling stood up and turned his neck.
Eunuch Fu said quickly, "Your Majesty, you must be exhausted. Let me give you a hot foot bath to relieve your fatigue."
The heat under his feet relieved Xuan Ling's tired body and mind, and he could smell the fragrance of medicine.
I saw a gauze bag in the hot water.
Eunuch Fu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this contains perilla leaves, siler leaves, schizonepeta, angelica dahurica, and magnolia flowers. It was sent by Lady Sheng. She said it can not only relieve fatigue, but also cure your sinusitis."
Xuan Ling asked, "Did she also send the basil buns for fumigating my nose after lunch?"
"Mrs. Sheng asked Xiao Zhuozi to deliver it."
Xuan Ling found that under her treatment, his nose was no longer often blocked and his headache had not recurred for a long time.
Seeing that his face had relaxed a little, Eunuch Fu asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, is there anything you want to know? For example, about Young Master Sheng?"
Xuan Ling raised his hand and patted him on the head, "You little dog slave, I don't want to know anything."
He was a ruthless emperor and should not have been emotional. He should have regarded it as a mistake and it was still not too late to stop.
The Imperial Household brought a plate and said, "Your Majesty, please turn over the green card."
Xuan Ling said, "I'm tired, so I'll skip it today."
He walked into the back hall and looked for a book on the cabinet. He saw the long box, which contained the portrait of him drawn by Sheng Xiyan.
Leng Ying said: "She is just pretending to complete the mission!"
After leaning on the dragon couch and reading for a while, Eunuch Fu brought people in to add incense to the incense burner and ice cubes to the ice jar.
Xuan Ling suddenly asked, "How is the harem doing lately?"
Eunuch Fu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, under the management of Consort Shu and Consort Liang, the harem is peaceful and nothing has happened."
Xuan Ling stared at him for a long time with his eagle eyes and cursed, "You dog slave, you have such a keen eye for reading people's expressions, you should be cleaning the toilet."
Eunuch Fu said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, what do you want to hear? I am truly foolish. I am afraid you will be unhappy, but I cannot bear to see you in such a bad mood."
"Am I in a bad mood?" Xuan Ling sneered.
Eunuch Fu helped him to rest and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have remembered something that you certainly don't want to hear."
Xuan Ling kicked him, and Eunuch Fu quickly knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, Miss Sheng has been having a rough time lately. She's been on leave for several days and hasn't been to the palace to pay her respects. The other day, Miss Dun had people chop down the swing, uproot all the agarwood trees, and destroy the tuberoses. I suspect her living expenses aren't much better either."
Xuan Ling looked worried for a long time, then said coldly, "She didn't come to tell me, how would I know?"
After closing his eyes to rest, Eunuch Fu hurriedly blew out the butter lamp and left the back hall.
The emperor is clearly thinking about Lady Sheng, but he is too concerned about his reputation.
Xuan Ling sighed softly, Sheng Xiyan, I must give up on you. If I do, I will think of you every time I have free time.
Ever since Concubine Shu began assisting in the management of the six palaces, she went to Jingren Palace at noon every day to report to the Queen and chat with her.
Empress Duan's mother died early, and it was her sister-in-law Wu who came to the palace to take care of her.
She took the pregnancy-preserving soup from the palace maid and gave it to Queen Duan.
He smelled a faint fragrance and asked curiously, "What kind of fragrance did the Concubine Shu use? It smells so good."
Concubine Shu's eyes flickered imperceptibly, and she smiled and said, "I have never liked strong fragrances. I just found this plum fragrance, which has a light aroma."
