Qingdai and several palace maids escorted her out of Zhaochun Palace.
Shufei and Liangfei were shocked. How could the Queen have changed? She was not like this before. She would never contradict the Queen Mother's will.
"Haven't you figured it out yet? The Queen is also interested in this child."
Concubine Shu left Zhaochun Palace with a few words and rode on her imperial whip.
Concubine Liang followed the nanny and hurried to the Cining Palace.
"Aunt, Shen Wanrong did give birth to a prince, but the Queen actually disobeyed your imperial decree and returned to Jingren Palace with the child."
The Empress Dowager said calmly, "Please stay quiet for two days. I will discuss with the Emperor who will raise this child."
Concubine Liang knelt down obediently and said, "Aunt, please be kind to Yu'er. Yu'er will obey you in everything."
"Let's go back first."
"Yes, aunt, Yu'er will take her leave."
After she left, the Empress Dowager asked, "Who do you think the Emperor will entrust to raise the little prince?"
The head nanny said, "Logically, the child should be handed over to the Queen for upbringing, but the Queen has just given birth to a little princess and may not be able to take care of her.
Among the four concubines, Concubine De is the most sickly, followed by Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, and our Lady Jia."
The Empress Dowager's amber eyes were filled with worry. "Luan'er is still not smart."
If any of the concubines in the harem has a prince, to put it nicely, it means he is by your side, but to put it bluntly, it means he is holding a trump card that can help him seize the throne in the future. Who wouldn't be tempted?
In Guanju Palace, Sheng Xiyan has not yet woken up.
Xuan Ling washed her hands and saw that the skin on her fingers was severely peeling, which was caused by burns from strong liquor.
Bring it to your lips and blow gently.
Eunuch Fu came in from outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the three officials from the Ministry of Works are already waiting in the Yangxin Palace."
Xuan Ling held Sheng Xiyan's hand and refused to leave for a long time.
This was the first time that he had delayed state affairs because of his love affairs, especially today when the Ministry of Industry was reporting on the prevention of locust plagues.
Sheng Xiyan didn't wake up until it was almost dark.
The hall was dim, and the man's bright eyes were like two bright lights, gazing at her gently.
"Your Majesty, what time is it?"
Xuan Ling touched her cheek, "It's dark now. You slept for about two hours."
“Where are Shen Wanrong and the child?”
"They are all fine. Yanyan is truly a heroine. Even I admire her. Thank you for your hard work."
Sheng Xiyan felt relieved, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Xuan Ling leaned over and gently touched her dry lips.
They hugged and kissed for a long time before letting go.
"Yanyan, thank you. I don't know how to express the feeling in my heart. It's like a warm current running through my body. I want to cry."
Sheng Xiyan put her arm around his neck and said casually, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if it's not your woman and child, I will do the same."
This sense of righteousness is more touching than doing it for him.
Xuan Ling hugged her tightly, holding the back of her head with his big hands and pressing it against his cheek. He said nothing, but it was worth a thousand words.
Sheng Xiyan stretched out her hands and looked,
"Don't worry, I've washed you several times, but my fingers are a little peeling."
"Then I will apply a thick layer of hand cream tonight, and in a few days my hands will be as white and tender as before."
Xuan Ling smiled and said, "Well, I remember you picked out a few facial creams and hand creams from Chang'e Zhai."
"There's also foot fat. Your Majesty, don't you know? We women can do a lot of fun with our hair."
Xuan Ling held her and coaxed her gently,
"Look, my Yanyan is exquisite in every way,
You've injured your nerves while operating, so take a good rest tomorrow. I'll send someone to pick you up the day after tomorrow."
"What are you doing?"
Xuan Ling kissed the tip of her nose and said lovingly, "You'll know when the time comes."
