The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

Xiahou Xuan couldn't let go of the purse and wanted to go out and show it off to others.

This was sewn by his Wanwan himself, and there is only one in the world!

"So you told me before that you were sewing shoes and socks for the child, but you were deliberately deceiving me?"

"This is all to give Your Majesty a surprise. If Your Majesty had known that I was going to sew a purse for you, you wouldn't be so happy now."

Jiang Wange said this very proudly.

Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan nodded, "Wanwan is so thoughtful. I like it very much."

"As long as you like it... I thought that you are the emperor and have received all kinds of precious and rare gifts, so I have nothing else to give you. It was Qianyue who gave me the idea."

Jiang Wange was praised by Xiahou Xuan, and he did not forget to bring Qianyue along to give him advice.

"Yes, Qianyue is a smart girl. I will reward her tomorrow!"

If Qianyue hadn't given Wanwan some advice, he wouldn't have received such a gift.

"If your majesty really wants to give a reward, just give silver directly. Qianyue likes money."

"Okay, I'll give her a reward."

It was already late when the birthday banquet ended, and coupled with the delay of delivering the purse to Xiahou Xuan, it was already late at night.

"Your Majesty, you should rest early. I am sleepy..."

Jiang Wange was sleep deprived during pregnancy, and after all this, she felt extremely sleepy.

Hearing Jiang Wange say this, Xiahou Xuan immediately stepped forward to help her undress, and the two of them soon lay down on the bed to rest.

Xiahou Xuan also took the purse off his belt and placed it under the pillow.

Jiang Wange couldn't help laughing after seeing this:

"Your Majesty, it's just a purse. There's no need to be so careful. If it breaks or is embarrassing, I can embroider another one for you."

"This is the first thing Wanwan gave me, so I will naturally cherish it."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Wange didn't know what to say and just closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Xiahou Xuan seemed very excited and tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning, he got up early before dawn to attend the morning court, and did not forget to tie the purse to his belt.

Normally, Haidezi was the one who helped Xiahou Xuan change his clothes, so naturally he noticed at first sight that there was something extra on Xiahou Xuan.

"Your Majesty, the purse on your waist is quite unique. I'm sure the person who sewed it must have put a lot of thought into it."

Such rough stitches could not be made by an embroiderer, but since Your Majesty treasures it so much, it can only be made by Concubine Xi.

"Well, I also think it's very unique. Wanwan is very attentive to me."

After hearing what Xiahou Xuan said, Haidezi knew that what he had just said was correct.

"Of course, Xi Guipin is devoted to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty loves Xi Guipin very much. You and Xi Guipin are running towards each other in a two-way way."

"You are getting better and better at talking, but I like to hear you say these things, reward--"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Haidezi happily accepted Xiahou Xuan's reward, and then followed him to the court.

When Xiahou Xuan sat on the dragon throne, he deliberately straightened his purse, as if he was afraid that others would not see it. He would fiddle with it from time to time, making it difficult for people not to notice it.

It was not until the morning court session was about to end that Xiahou Xuan stood up and asked the court officials abruptly:

"What birthday gifts did your wives give you on your birthdays?"

Then, without waiting for the court officials to reply, Xiahou Xuan continued to speak:

"My concubine Xi Guipin sewed a purse for me personally. Tell me, there are embroiderers who can embroider such small items for me. Why bother her? She is pregnant and still thinks about me so much. It's really hard for her to work so hard."

The court officials: ...Your Majesty, what's wrong? It's just an ugly purse, why are you so happy?

It was Xiahou Cong who reacted first and stood up to praise him:

"I just said that the purse your brother is wearing today is so unique. It turns out that it was sewn by Concubine Xi. Your brother is so lucky. Concubine Xi is sincere to you."

"You are right. I think we should reward Xi Guipin well. Sigh, why am I talking to you all this? Since there is nothing else, let's adjourn the court."

After Xiahou Xuan showed off the purse that Jiang Wange had embroidered for him, he waved his hand and left.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, having no idea why His Majesty had done this. They could only privately consult the Prince of Yong'an who had just echoed the statement.

Then Xiahou Cong gave them the answer:

"Didn't you see, my lords, that my brother was showing off the purse that Concubine Xi gave him?"

Xiahou Cong's words made everyone suddenly realize:

So that's it! Your Majesty actually wanted to show off this thing to them! They were too stupid to even see it.

This incident in the court soon reached the ears of other concubines in the harem. When they were paying their respects to the Queen Mother together, they could not help but complain behind her back that Jiang Wange had only given a purse to celebrate His Majesty's birthday.

"Empress Dowager, it's not that I want to say that Xi Guipin is trying to deceive Your Majesty. A mere purse can be considered a birthday gift for Your Majesty? That's too thoughtless."

The person who spoke was the precious person who had always been jealous of Jiang Wange's favor, and took every opportunity to flatter Jiang Wange in front of the Queen Mother.

"Hmph, His Majesty likes it very much, what can you do?"

The Queen Mother snorted, sneering at Xiahou Xuan's actions, and at the same time became more and more disgusted with Jiang Wange.

A vixen is a vixen. An ugly purse can make His Majesty like her so much. She must have secretly cast a curse on His Majesty!

"Empress Dowager, His Majesty is now favoring Concubine Xi and ignoring the sisters in the harem. You sisters can't stay alone in the empty room forever and waste your best years in the deep palace, right?"

When Zhengui saw that the Queen Mother also disliked Jiang Wange, she continued to complain.

"What's the point of you telling me all this? You can just do everything you can to win the favor of His Majesty. I will never say a word. If any of you can let His Majesty stay in your palace, I will directly promote you to a higher position!"

After the Queen Mother said this, the concubines could no longer hold back.

"Can you take what the Queen Mother said seriously?"

Precious people are the first to bear the brunt and want to win this wave of dividends.

"I'm going to make this clear today. Whoever gets pregnant with your majesty's child will be promoted to consort. I can still do this. Go ahead and please your majesty."

After receiving the Queen Mother's affirmative answer, many concubines felt hopeful and decided to muster up the courage to give it a try.

Concubine Xi is pregnant now, so it must be inconvenient for her to serve the emperor. There must be other people serving His Majesty. What if that person is me?

No one likes Xi Guipin, but everyone wants to be the next Xi Guipin.
