Jiang Chenghai hurriedly shook his head and said solemnly: "No, your Majesty, I have been so neglectful to you before. Your Majesty not only doesn't blame me, but also speaks for me. As long as I say something wrong to you this morning, your slave will lose your head. This is your life."
It was given to me by your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely swear allegiance to your Majesty from now on."
Xue Tianxiang rolled her eyes.
This Jiang Chenghai is quite aware of current affairs.
When she saw Jiang Chenghai neglecting her before, she originally wanted to train someone to replace him, but since he knew how to repay his kindness, she would continue to use him.
She said: "Okay, since you are willing to follow me, I will accept you. Don't worry, as long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you badly."
Jiang Chenghai said sternly: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, I, Jiang Chenghai, will only have your Majesty as my master from now on, and I will be absolutely loyal to your Majesty. If anything happens to your Majesty in the future, just give me orders."
"Well, I'm a little tired. You can go down first!" After Xue Tianxiang finished speaking, he left the Imperial Garden and returned to Xianglan Hall.

After returning to Xianglan Palace, Xue Tianxiang counted the time and found that by this time the emperor should have finished reviewing the memorial and was going to see Dong Shishi.
She immediately said to Jin Chuan: "Jin Chuan, prepare a soothing soup for me. I want to visit the emperor."
"Yes." After Jin Chuan finished speaking, he quickly went to prepare the soothing soup.
After Jin Chuan prepared the soothing soup, Xue Tianxiang took her towards the imperial study room.
Soon, Xue Tianxiang arrived at the door of the imperial study.
When she got there, she saw Emperor Hongyuan walking out of the imperial study.
She rushed to greet him and said gently: "Your Majesty, have you finished approving the memorial?"
Seeing Xue Tianxiang, Emperor Hongyuan said: "After the approval, I am going to see Concubine Wan. Concubine, why are you here?"
Xue Tianxiang hurriedly brought the cup of soup over and said: "Your Majesty, I saw that you were working very hard while busy with state affairs, so I stewed some soothing soup for you. After drinking it for a long time, you will definitely be able to sleep well tonight."
Emperor Hongyuan said: "My beloved concubine is interested. Okay, you can give the calming soup to Eunuch Xu. I will come back to drink after watching Concubine Wan."
"The emperor wants to see his sister now? It's just..." Xue Tianxiang said, hesitating to speak.
Emperor Hongyuan felt strange and hurriedly said: "What's the matter, my dear concubine, what happened?"
Xue Tianxiang said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, when I went to see my sister just now, she was in a bad mood when she saw that you didn't go to see her. I had already explained to her that you were reviewing the memorial, but
My sister still feels aggrieved. I want to tell the emperor that my sister is feeling very uncomfortable right now, and please ask the emperor to coax her well later to prevent her from being too sad and hurting her body."
Hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes coldly, "You mean, I am busy with state affairs and exhausted, and Concubine Wan is still blaming me for not visiting her?"
Xue Tianxiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that's not what my sister meant. She just had a miscarriage and was inevitably depressed, so she spoke unscrupulously and said some nonsense. Please don't argue with her."
"Talking nonsense? What did she say?" Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.
"This..." Xue Tianxiang looked very embarrassed.
Emperor Hongyuan immediately looked at Jin Chuan and said coldly: "Jin Chuan, tell me."
Jin Chuan hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, in fact, Concubine Wan didn't say anything. She just saw you and didn't go to see her. She was crying and fussing there, and said... that you were cruel. Other than that, she was crying and making trouble.
, she didn’t say anything.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, my sister is still young and a little ignorant. Don't blame her. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely comfort her tomorrow so that she will not be angry with you again!" Xue Tianxiang said with a look on her face.
of tenderness.
Hearing these words, Emperor Hongyuan turned pale with anger, "This Concubine Wan, how dare she be angry with me? Her temper is getting more and more cunning!"
"Your Majesty, please don't blame your sister. She lost her beloved son and was in a bad mood, so that's why she acted like this." Xue Tianxiang urged anxiously.
Emperor Hongyuan snorted coldly, "Why don't we just have a miscarriage and she will give me a temper? She is usually unruly and willful. I didn't expect that I am busy with national affairs and she is so ignorant."
Having said this, he rubbed his forehead uncomfortably and sighed, "Hey! My beloved, you are still considerate and understand how difficult it is for me as a king. Forget it, since she is so dissatisfied, then I won't do it today.
I went to see her, I’m going to your place to rest!”
Xue Tianxiang rolled her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, you went to Xianglan Palace in the morning, and my sister is already very unhappy! If you go to Xianglan Palace again tonight, if you let my sister know, she will definitely be even more sad. Concubine
I don’t want to make my sister sad, let alone fall out with her.”
Having said this, she continued: "Your Majesty, some new beauties have recently arrived in the Yufu Palace. I heard that they are all stunningly beautiful and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They have never met the Emperor. Do you want to meet them?"
?”
Hearing that a new stunning beauty had arrived, Emperor Hongyuan felt a little anxious in his heart.
A trace of novelty flashed in his eyes, "A new person has come to the Jade Palace? Well, I'll go and have a look. Come and show off to the Jade Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Xu immediately replied.
Then Eunuch Xu ordered the eunuchs to carry Emperor Hongyuan to the Yufu Palace.
After watching Emperor Hongyuan leave, Xue Tianxiang took Jin Chuan and walked towards Xianglan Hall.
On the way, Jin Chuan looked at Xue Tianxiang with a puzzled look on his face, "Empress, the Emperor is coming to see you tonight, why did you reject him? Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity?"
"What do you know? I naturally have my own motives for doing this." Xue Tianxiang said coldly.
Seeing that Xue Tianxiang didn't say the reason, Jin Chuan had no choice but to touch his head in confusion and quickly followed.
-
That night, Dong Shishi waited for a long time, but could not wait for Emperor Hongyuan.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, Emperor Hongyuan had not yet arrived, and Dong Shishi suddenly felt a bad premonition in her heart.
At this moment, Pearl's voice came from outside, "Empress..."
Dong Shishi immediately interrupted, "Zhenzhu, is the emperor here?"
Pearl walked in and said with some embarrassment: "No, it's Mr. Jiang who wants to see you. He has sent you a tonic soup!"
When she heard that it was Manager Jiang, Dong Shishi looked disappointed, and she said lightly: "Okay, let him come in!"
"yes."
Soon, Pearl went out and brought Jiang Chenghai in.
After Jiang Chenghai came in with the two young eunuchs, he hurriedly saluted Dong Shishi, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is worried about your health, so she specially asked the servant to prepare a cup of chicken soup with red dates and Codonopsis pilosula for you. This chicken soup can replenish qi and blood, the Imperial Concubine said
, I want you to drink it while it’s hot to supplement your body with nutrients.”
Hearing that Xue Tianxiang cared so much about herself, Dong Shishi's eyes flashed with emotion.
