Tyrant Be Good, I'll Love You

It was a complete set of tea sets, including a small stove and a pot of boiling water.

Then, she heard the empress dowager continue, "This one has developed a faint interest in making tea for the past few days, so today we will talk about it as if it were tea. This one will take this opportunity to see what you all can do.

Hearing this, the concubine sitting down looked at each other, at a loss of what to do. On the other hand, Shen Shuzhi, who was sitting across from her, had started to fight with her concubine.

When the empress dowager saw this, her lips curved up in an appreciative smile. "Esteemed wangfei, judging from your movements, are you an expert at making tea?"

Huifei pursed her lips into a smile and shyly lowered her head as she replied, "How is chenqie an expert at making tea? This little sister by chenqie's side is actually a kind-hearted person."

"Oh?" The empress dowager's interest was piqued as her sharp gaze shifted to Shen Shuzhi by her side. "Is this the emperor's new concubine?" This Dowager looks a little unfamiliar. "

Esteemed wangfei looked at Shen Shuzhi with a smile, before finally looking at the empress dowager. "My younger sister is not the empress dowager's new concubine, she is a distant cousin of concubine. She is now the official wife of Loyal Hou Qi Mujing. Today, my sister specially visited the palace, and when the empress dowager made an appointment with her, she invited her along. "

Shen Shuzhi and Hui Fei are distant cousins?!

Shen Zhi Qiao raised his head and looked over. His heart was filled with doubt and apprehension.

Marquis Zhong Lie?! What a character!

The empress dowager couldn't help but look at her twice before nodding. "So that's how it is." He casually asked, "What's your name?"

Shen Shuzhi slowly stood up from her seat. She was still dressed in pink today, but looked like a lady from a noble family. She leisurely walked to the center of the hall and greeted, "This servant, Shen Shuzhi, pays his respects to the empress dowager, the empress dowager, Jin An."

Shen Shuzhi? Shen Zhi Qiao?!

The empress dowager tilted her head as she looked pensively at Shen Zhiqiao's position, then waved a hand. "Mm, the marquis' wife, come sit down."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Shen Shuizhi said in a well-mannered manner, as he gracefully walked back to his seat.

She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she had the nagging feeling that Shen Lo seemed to be looking at her.

Shen Zhi Qiao was unsure of Shen Shuzhi's intentions. Just as she was feeling restless and frustrated, the teacup in front of her started to rumble.

Shocked, he looked over and saw that the water in the teacup was boiling. He hurriedly grabbed the tea cup and placed it down by his ear.

Because her movements were a bit hurried, some of the water in the teacup slightly seeped out and dripped onto the back of her hand. She softly groaned in pain as she raised her hand to touch her lips.

"Little sister, your skin is so tender, don't burn it up. The emperor will feel heartache." Imperial Concubine Hua lazily lifted her fingernails, coldly mocking him.

The moment she finished speaking, the hall was immediately filled with the sound of debris shattering.

Shen Zhiqiao bit his lips and pretended not to hear him. With a heart full of worries, he put his hands down and opened the porcelain pot on the table. He poured some tea leaves into a cup and poured some water into the cup.

In comparison to the fact that she could not sit still, Shen Shuzhi appeared much calmer. Her almond-shaped eyes lightly landed on her body, and a look of hatred flashed across her face.

The empress dowager saw that Shen Zhiqiao was very casual and didn't understand the art of making tea, but she was extremely irritated and perfunctory. From a single glance, it could be seen that her family had failed her.

The frown on her face deepened as she continued with her previous topic, "I have just talked about two things. The first is about the concubines being the sons of the royal family. Some of you have been in the palace for seven or eight years, while the smallest has been a year or two.

Pausing, "This Dowager is deeply worried about this. All concubines need to always bear this in mind and quickly give birth to princes for the royal family. "

His gaze suddenly fell on Shen Zhi Qiao, "Did you hear that?!"

Shen Zhi Qiao kept his head down. His eyes were focused on the tea leaves in the cup. He was admiring the tea leaves blossoming into a beautiful shape in the water, and because he was preoccupied with something, he did not notice it.

The empress dowager pursed her lips in displeasure, but didn't say anything.

If it weren't for the Emperor's recent preference for her and the fact that he had doted less and less on the concubines of the other palaces, she would not have even looked at her seriously, much less act in such a disrespectful manner.

Shen Shuzhi observed the situation and took in all of the Empress Dowager's displeasure. He lowered his head and pursed his lips.

He snickered in his heart. With regards to her sudden appearance in the palace, he knew that she must be suffering in her heart right now, so he guessed her intentions … He raised his eyebrows and opened the lid of the teacup. He then put some tea into the teacup and brewed it with concentration. His expression was calm and contented.

Imperial Concubine Hua saw all of the empress dowager's plans.

He sneered to himself. It was still up to her to decide whether or not she was willing to give birth to her son. She was afraid that if she died, she would end up with a son!

The hall was filled with a surging undercurrent. It seemed peaceful, but it was filled with hostility.

Perhaps it was because she was speechless towards Shen Zhi Qiao, but the empress dowager's eyes swept across the crowd of concubines in the hall, and her voice suddenly became deep and fierce. "As for the second matter … This Dowager heard that there were many strange things happening in the palace last night, and quite a few concubines and servants saw unclean things. "

"It doesn't matter if this one is real or fake, if this one hears anything about this place, this one will not let you off lightly!"

"Empress Dowager, chenqie doesn't dare to speak nonsense in front of the empress dowager. But chenqie did see it last night …" One of the concubines said with a pale face.

"That's right. Empress Dowager, chenqie saw it too …" She stood by the head of her concubine's bed, coldly staring at her. In her hand was a piece of white silk. Her appearance was clearly that of the beautiful Zheng woman who hanged herself from the Soul Orchid Hall … " Another concubine who had suffered the same fate answered.

The empress dowager's gaze was dull as she prepared to scold the empress dowager, but an old mama by her side suddenly knelt down as well, her voice trembling. "That's right! The empress dowager, this servant, this servant saw it too!" "Yes, it's a beauty Zheng!"

"Su mama, you're old and muddled, aren't you?!" The empress dowager reprimanded, "Under the watch of the Son of Heaven, it was too late for ghosts to avoid the threat. "She knows that she has sinned deeply and deserved to die. What reason could she have to do this to harm Palace City?"

His sharp eyes swept across the hall once again, "Don't speak nonsense again. If anyone dares to say another word, I will turn them into ghosts!"

The moment she said those ruthless words, the hall immediately fell into a period of silence.

When Shen Zhi Qiao heard what the others were saying, cold sweat soaked his back. His hand, which was resting on his hand, trembled slightly, and his lips were shockingly white.

Imperial Concubine Hua glanced at her. A light flashed through her eyes as she lowered her eyes to play with the tea leaves.

Shen Zhiqiao, who had just come out of the Mausoleum of Zhou, looked a little unsettled. His two eyebrows were deeply furrowed and had never relaxed.

Xiang Nan followed behind her, and saw that she almost ran into the snow water several times, and supported her worriedly, "Miss, are you not feeling well?"

Shen Zhi's Qiao Mu turned his head and was about to speak when he was attracted by the person behind him.

She was startled as she looked towards the direction of the source of her confusion. It was a young palace maid who was walking towards the two of them.

The small palace maid walked in and said as she stood in front of Shen Zhiqiao, "Miss, this servant is here on orders from the emperor to inform the young lady that the emperor has asked the young lady to take a trip to Jade Moon Restaurant after leaving the Mausoleum."

Jade Moon Pavilion?!

Shen Zhi Qiao pursed her lips. Why did Tuoba Yu want her to go to Jade Moon Restaurant …
