Chapter 295 Let's drink some loofah soup to cool down.

Empress Zheng and Consort Liang were arguing, and Xie Yun-yang would occasionally chime in to try and stop them.

The three people's voices rose and fell, ignoring each other, and the chaotic situation lasted for quite some time, making Eunuch Hou, who was watching from the sidelines, so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Oh dear, oh dear, Your Majesty, Consort Liang, please stop arguing."

How could these two pay any attention to him? One was furious and about to curse, while the other was desperate to distance himself from the situation. At first, they were still mindful of Xie Yuxiao, but as they argued, they ended up wishing that only the two of them existed in the world and didn't care about anything else.

Eunuch Hou looked to Xie Yunyang for help, but Xie Yunyang was of no help whatsoever; he himself was still in shock.

He had never seen Empress Zheng so unconcerned about her image.

"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that? You said it yourself."

Consort Liang lowered her head and, without making a sound, took a small step back under Empress Zheng's gaze.

Empress Zheng choked, realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have in the heat of the moment. She was so angry that she abandoned all pretense of dignity, her face turning red and her former dignified demeanor completely gone.

"Fine, so now you're going to dump all the blame on me, huh?"

"Your Majesty, I wouldn't dare. Please don't accuse me like that. After all, it was you who said it yourself. I only followed your instructions and sent a palace maid to the Imperial Hospital. I didn't do anything else. It has nothing to do with me."

Consort Liang looked at Empress Zheng with feigned innocence. If Xie Yuxiao hadn't been there, Empress Zheng would have wanted to scratch her face to pieces.

"you--"

"Have you made enough of a scene?!"

Xie Yuxiao was driven to the brink of a splitting headache by their noise. He finally lost his temper and got downstairs. "One of you is the Empress, and the other is a Noble Lady. And this is happening right in front of me! Are you trying to tear the roof off this Imperial Study?"

"Your Majesty, I..." Empress Zheng wanted to speak, but was stopped by a look from Xie Yuxiao.

"What else do you want to say?"

Xie Yuxiao stared coldly at her, his eyes filled with endless disappointment and helplessness. In all the years that Empress Zheng had been by his side, she had never seen him look at her with such eyes.

Empress Zheng trembled, her imposing manner weakening somewhat.

Just when the chaotic scene reached this inconclusive moment, a loud bang was heard in the sky, followed by a dazzling display of light!

"Father~"

Before seeing her, he heard her voice. The little dumpling's soft call calmed Xie Yuxiao's anger somewhat. Xie Yuxiao flicked his sleeve and looked towards the door, trying to use the little dumpling to suppress the raging fire in his heart.

Xie Yuxiao looked towards the door, only to see Xie Yunwen sitting in a wheelchair.

All eyes were on the doorway. Xie Yuxiao wondered if he was hallucinating from anger, because there was no one behind Xie Yunwen and his hands were not on the wheels, but he clearly saw the wheelchair just walk straight in.

This scene strangely brought a brief moment of calm to the chaotic imperial study.

Eunuch Hou wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, that's great, the Second Princess is here, the Second Princess is here."

"Father, don't be angry. Sheng Sheng and Fourth Brother will help you cool down."

Sheng Sheng's voice rang out again. Just as Xie Yuxiao was wondering if he was getting old and hard of hearing, Sheng Sheng's little head popped out from behind the wheelchair, flashing a big, bright smile, and she waved her right hand at the people in the Imperial Study.

"Why aren't you saying anything? It's me, Sheng Sheng."

After saying that, the little dumpling lowered its head again and focused on its movements. "Heave-ho, heave-ho, we're here! Fourth brother, look, Sheng Sheng said it could be pushed!"

Xie Yunwen smiled and affirmed, "Sheng Sheng is indeed very capable."

"hey-hey."

"You silly child, you should leave these things to the palace servants. Why are you making trouble for yourself?"

Xie Yuxiao was heartbroken and was about to "punish" her with a stern face, but Sheng Sheng stopped him immediately: "Hey, Father, Sheng Sheng wanted to push it herself."

After saying that, she instructed Zijuan to bring up the things she had brought, and said to Xie Yuxiao in a serious tone, "Father, you seem to have a bad temper. It's only the beginning of spring. If this temper gets out of control in the summer, it will set Father on fire."

As expected, daughters are the best. Her voice was like heavenly music to Xie Yuxiao's ears, instantly calming his mind and soothing his emotions.

Several palace servants brought up bowls of green soup, which all looked to be the same thing.

With a smile, she said, "Father, come, have a bowl of loofah soup to cool down."

Sheng Sheng gestured to Xie Yuxiao, then instructed the palace servants to distribute the other bowls of loofah soup to the other people in the imperial study.

"Everyone seems to be quite hot-tempered. This loofah soup is very nourishing and excellent for reducing internal heat, especially for those with excessive liver fire. You should definitely drink more loofah soup."

Her smiles grew increasingly perfect, and Xie Yunwen, standing behind her, couldn't help but chuckle, covering the corners of his mouth with his fist.

Empress Zheng stared blankly as a palace maid brought her a bowl of loofah soup, feeling speechless for the first time.

Consort Liang was puzzled and confused. How did they suddenly start drinking soup while arguing in the Imperial Study?

Only Xie Yun-yang calmly finished the bowl of loofah soup in one go.

Hmm, Sheng Sheng must have her reasons for doing this, and this loofah soup must be part of her plan!

Although Xie Yuxiao had doubts, he was indeed quite tired after watching such a farce for so long.

Most loofahs ripen in the summer. The loofahs available now are specially grown by farmers and are of the highest quality, making them even more delicious.

Xie Yuxiao drank half a bowl and actually felt that his liver fire had decreased quite a bit.

"How is it, Father? Is it delicious?" Sheng Sheng asked, tilting her little face up. "This was specially prepared by Sheng Sheng."

"Hmm, not bad, you've put your heart into it!"

"Hehe." Sheng Sheng turned to look at Empress Zheng and Consort Liang, "Aunt? Aren't Your Majesty and Consort Liang going to drink it? Father Emperor said it was good. You two are not used to delicacies and would not appreciate Sheng Sheng's loofah soup."

Empress Zheng ignored her, snorted, and turned to the side: "I didn't mean that. If His Majesty says it's good, then it must be good. It's just that I didn't have a good appetite when I came in, and I don't want to eat right now."

"Oh, I see." Sheng Sheng suddenly realized, "Oh dear, I forgot that Her Majesty the Empress has been under house arrest recently. Being confined like this must have affected her appetite. It's all Sheng Sheng's fault for forgetting about this."

"you!"

Empress Zheng's face stiffened, and she was about to explode in anger when Xie Yuxiao stepped behind her and glared at her: "What, are you going to argue with a five-year-old child?"

"Sheng Sheng is almost six years old, Father." Sheng Sheng smiled and counted on her six fingers.

Xie Yuxiao affectionately patted her head: "No matter how old you are, you're still a child. Don't mention six years old, even if you're sixteen or sixty, in your father's heart you'll always be a child!"
