She screamed shrilly, and everyone in the hall looked at Sheng Xiyan.
Dun Shuyuan smiled evilly and said, "I don't believe you won't leave the banquet. You want to show off in front of me? You wish!"
When everyone thought that Sheng Xiyan would definitely retreat because her dress was splashed with grape juice,
She smiled faintly and said, "Grape purple complements the smoky autumn fragrance color of the dress I'm wearing perfectly, creating a very atmospheric atmosphere. What do you think, Sister Dun?"
Gao Shurong and Lin Xiuyi handed over the handkerchief, "Sister Sheng, please wipe it quickly."
Xuan Ling looked at Sheng Xiyan. He had clearly come to the banquet with her, and had clearly seen her in Guanju Palace, and had even held her in his arms tenderly for a while, but the feeling of seeing her from a distance was different from seeing her up close.
Today she had her hair tied up in a bun, revealing her full and smooth forehead.
A pair of peach blossom almond eyes are like glass and jewels, crystal clear like emerald washed with water and filled with lacquer black pupils.
Her hair was as white as crow's, her eyebrows were graceful, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, her nose was straight, her lips were full like petals blooming in the morning, and her jaw was full and small.
It is a natural charm,
At this moment, facing something that would embarrass most people, he exudes a bright and elegant aura with an extremely stable core.
The raised corners of Xuan Ling's eyes could not suppress the brilliance in his eyes.
After a few brocade handkerchiefs absorbed the grape juice, the autumn-scented outer garment seemed to be stained with a purple cloud of varying shades, which was magnificent.
Xuan Ling raised his thin lips and said, "Take this plate of lychees to Sheng Xiuyuan's table."
It was the beginning of summer, and the first batch of tribute lychees had just been delivered to the palace. They were extremely rare. In the entire palace, only Emperor Xuanwu and the Empress Dowager had two plates of lychees on their tables.
Dun Shuyuan's trick failed, she rolled her eyes and turned away angrily.
The palace maid brought the lychees to Sheng Xiyan, and Sheng Xiyan distributed some to the concubines sitting next to her.
Just when everyone thought the matter had been settled, the palace servant added another glass of wine.
Gao Shurong, who was sitting next to her, had just started eating her food when she caught sight of the shocking scene and her mouth opened wide.
Sheng Xiyan picked up the glass cup, leaned forward, and poured the liquid onto the back of Dun Shuyuan's head.
Grape juice flowed down the back of her head and into the back of her collar.
Dun Shuyuan was tasting the food when she hurriedly touched her neck, her hands covered in grape juice.
She looked back fiercely, and Sheng Xiyan smiled at her.
"Sheng Xiuyuan, why did you pour grape juice on my head?"
Dun Shuyuan yelled, stood up, and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Sheng Xiuyuan poured grape juice all over my back, look."
She turned around. She was originally wearing a pea green dress. Now the back of her head was wet, and there was sticky grape juice on her neck. The back of the dress was also red and green.
Concubine Jia said, "Sheng Xiuyuan is truly vicious."
The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Sheng Xiuyuan, a woman should be tolerant and have a good character. You've gone too far. Why don't you leave the hall?"
Xuan Ling put down his jade robe and said sternly, "I didn't see Sheng Xiuyuan pouring grape juice on Dun Shuyuan. Who else saw it?"
The concubines below immediately shut up and whispered, "We concubines didn't see it either."
"Your Majesty, the person sitting behind me is Sheng Xiuyuan. Who else could it be if not her? Your Majesty must make the decision for me."
Dun Shuyuan knelt down and cried.
Xuan Ling was intimidating without being angry. "Today is such a festive day, do you have to make things worse? Why don't you leave?"
Dun Shuyuan felt extremely uncomfortable with the wetness on her head and neck, so she had no choice but to leave the banquet. As she left, she gritted her teeth and said, "Sheng Xiuyuan, you wait."
The banquet was followed by a performance of the Twelve Zodiac Animals' Boy's Kung Fu. Jiang Jiang and Le Wen sat on the upper palace carpet and watched excitedly.
Suddenly, Lian Zhaoyi let out a cry of pain.
Everyone looked at her. Lian Zhaoyi stroked her right leg and frowned, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I feel like my leg is cramping."
Xuan Ling said, "Summon the Imperial Physician."
Lian Zhaoyi looked diagonally behind her and begged, "Sister Sheng, could you please take a look for me?"
If it were someone else, Sheng Xiyan would definitely go and check on her, but the last time in the South Garden, Lian Zhaoyi stepped hard on her finger, and this grudge made her hesitate.
Concubine Jia said, "Sheng Xiuyuan usually shows off her medical skills, but now she is truly cold-blooded and ruthless."
Lian Zhaoyi cried out in pain and looked extremely miserable.
The Empress Dowager couldn't bear to watch it any longer, "Sheng Xiuyuan, check on her quickly, don't disturb the fetus."
Sheng Xiyan's heart softened slowly when she heard Lian Zhaoyi's moans. As a medical student, she couldn't abandon her patients. She just stood up slightly when she heard the solemn and majestic voice of a man from the seat of honor.
"Sheng Xiyan, sit still and don't move."
As soon as Xuan Ling spoke, Lian Zhaoyi's humming became much quieter.
Sheng Xiyan met his eyes, sat obediently without moving, and calmed herself down.
The Empress Dowager said, "Emperor, she is pregnant with the heir. Why don't you let Sheng Xiuyuan see what happens? I have to be honest today. You have been favoring Sheng Xiuyuan too much lately. This is not a good sign."
Xuan Ling picked up the jade cup and drank half of it, then said coldly, "Mother, didn't you go call the imperial physician?"
He just couldn't stand Sheng Xiyan squatting down to massage another woman's legs and feet. He himself had never been willing to let her do that.
Sheng Xiyan looked at Xuan Ling, their eyes met, like hair wrapped around eyes,
He is not only a big tree that protects her, but also the sunshine that warms her.
The imperial physician rushed over, knelt down, and massaged Concubine Lian's calf muscles and ankles.
The Empress Dowager said, "Let's see if the fetus has moved."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty, rest assured. The young lady's pregnancy is stable and there is nothing serious."
Lian Zhaoyi took the opportunity to caress her pregnant belly and said aggrievedly, "This child is very fussy. I've been vomiting every day. It's very uncomfortable."
