Prince Teng asked cautiously. He also wanted to ask how Sheng Xiyan was doing in the harem. Although he had heard that the young widow was very favored, what was the actual situation?
But how can others ask questions about the emperor's woman?
Xuan Ling didn't say anything. What he and Qi Yan said depended on what choice Sheng Xiyan made.
An hour later.
In Ningshuang Palace, since Yun Guirong was strangled, the main hall was cleaned up and Gao Shurong asked for permission to move in from the side hall.
It is so refreshing to occupy the entire palace by one person.
The palace maid Yueyu ran in and said happily, "My lady, the eunuch is here!"
This was a serious matter. Gao Shurong quickly put down the plate of preserved fruits in her hand and got off the couch.
"Eunuch Fu, are you here to convey any message?"
Eunuch Fu is an auspicious presence in the palace. Wherever he goes, it will definitely be a good omen, indicating that the emperor will summon or reward a certain concubine.
"My dear Lady Gao, the Emperor was very pleased with the loquat throat lozenges you presented him, and he has given him three hu of Luozidai as a reward."
Gao Shurong was so frightened that her legs went limp. "Eunuch Fu, what else did the emperor say?"
Everyone in the harem knew that Persia had only paid tribute of six hu this year, and even the Empress Dowager and the Empress had only one hu. How could she be rewarded with three hu?
"Master Gao, the Emperor said that the Luozidai is a gift to you. How you use it is up to you."
Eunuch Fu didn't dare to explain it too clearly, because the emperor hadn't explained it to him either. He only said, "Go and give the Luozidai to Gao Shurong."
He also asked, "Will you give me all three hu?"
Xuan Ling didn't say anything.
Eunuch Fu boldly speculated that the emperor was hinting at something, but he didn't know what Miss Gao's emotional intelligence was.
After he left, Gao Shurong opened the brocade box.
Wow, these dazzling gold-plated decorations with various gemstones are already dazzling, which woman can not like them?
Not to mention that drawing eyebrows is worth a piece of gold, it is simply the ultimate enjoyment for women in the world.
"My lady, the Emperor is so generous to you!"
"Yes, my lady, you will soon become a favorite concubine!"
Gao Shurong closed the lid and said calmly, "I have to go to Guanju Palace now."
"My lady, why are you going to Guanju Palace? This is a gift from the Emperor."
Gao Shurong pinched the handkerchief and scolded, "You two are stupid. I didn't make the throat lozenges. How can I feel at ease taking the reward?"
What's more, according to her speculation, Emperor Xuanwu must know that it was Sheng Xiyan who did it, otherwise how could he reward three hu.
This matter must not be left overnight, otherwise the brain might move in the middle of the night.
"Hurry, hurry up, bring two jugs of plum wine from the kitchen, and I'll take them to Guanju Palace."
"Yes, my lord."
After a cup of tea, Gao Shurong went straight to Guanju Palace.
"Sister Sheng, the emperor is very pleased with the throat lozenges you made. I brought you the reward."
Sheng Xiyan admires Luozidai,
"What a wonderful thing! I've heard of it before, and today I see it in person. Sister Gao, this is a gift from the Emperor. Why did you bring it to me?"
Gao Shurong took her hand and said:
"My dear sister, my father is working day and night to plant rice in the south. I can't let him down. Our emperor is such a wise man, how could he not guess it? Please forgive me."
Hua Xia covered her mouth and laughed beside her.
"Sister Gao, I'll leave one box for you and you can take two hu back. I can't let you help me for nothing."
Gao Shurong said with a smile, "Then I'll be bolder and take a box. Sister Sheng, don't say anything more. Let's forget about this matter. You can try the plum wine I made."
Hua Xia said, "Our young master has just reached menstruation."
"Then we can drink it after a few days."
Gao Shurong whispered, "Sister Sheng, are you having a quarrel with the Emperor?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled helplessly, unable to explain clearly.
"We women should just enjoy life and not worry about anything else. My father had several concubines and children, but my mother never got angry about them or my father. Whether they loved us or not was not a big deal. The most important thing was to get the benefits."
"Sister Gao, I..."
Sheng Xiyan had no words to express her pain. She was the one who didn't want love, but the one who forced her to ask for love was the emperor. Otherwise, who would give him the face?
"Don't worry about who the emperor favors. Just treat you well, that's all. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Sheng Xiyan agreed.
After Gao Shurong left, Hua Xia asked:
"My lady, there are only five days left before the ten-day deadline given by the Emperor. What are you going to do? Why don't you just tell the Emperor that you like him?"
Sheng Xiyan placed the hand warmer on her lower abdomen and frowned, "Will the Emperor believe me if I tell him?"
Saying it now would seem pale and powerless, and Emperor Xuanwu would not believe it.
This is a dead end, and she hasn't figured out a way to break it.
"If it really doesn't work, you can secretly change all the silver into banknotes."
When Hua Xia heard this, her eyebrows flew up and she lowered her voice.
"My dear, you want to run away? Don't do anything rash, or we'll be killed before we even leave the palace."
Sheng Xiyan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
"Oh, stop talking. My period is like slaughtering a pig. Hurry up and bring me a blanket so I can get some sleep."
It’s just a head. If Emperor Xuanwu wants it, let him take it off.
At night, Jiang Jiang insisted on sleeping with her and insisted on holding the black kitten with a white fur circle around its neck.
"Jiang Jiang, shall we give Meow Meow a name?"
"Yes." Jiang Jiang said calmly.
"What's your name?"
"Yan Yan!"
Sheng Xiyan pinched his little face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Why is it called Yanyan?"
Jiang Jiang grinned, "Father said... Black Cat is ugly, so... we're called Yanyan, hahahaha..."
