A noble soul...

While Sherry was still basking in her own self-satisfaction, she didn't notice that Shunzhi's pale fingers were gripping the teacup tightly, causing the water to ripple.

After waiting for a long time without receiving any flattery, Sherry looked at Shunzhi with boredom.

She wanted to see what kind of nonsense he could come up with.

Shunzhi was both amused and speechless, and conflicted. When he met Xue Li's expectant gaze, he couldn't help but cover his nose and laugh.

Several palace servants kept their heads down and remained quiet.

Sherry could tell from Shunzhi's expression that he wasn't going to say anything nice.

He turned around and sat down with an imposing air.

"Honey, think it through before you speak! Otherwise, we'll be having hand-shredded Emperor's Bread for lunch today!"

Upon hearing this, Shunzhi quickly came to his senses.

The first thing we saw was the empress's bold and unrestrained actions.

"Your Majesty, you are Your Majesty, where is your etiquette?"

Shirley sat down reluctantly.

He looked at Shunzhi with a displeased expression.

The look in his eyes wasn't exactly resentful, but it certainly wasn't meant to be malicious.

Shunzhi was silent for a moment, wanting to say something but unable to.

I'm a bit speechless.

What bothered him even more was just how thick-skinned the Empress must be!

How dare you ask him that?

That's what he thought, and that's what he asked.

"Your Majesty, how can you be so shameless?"

Upon hearing this, Sherry suddenly snapped back to her senses, her face showing displeasure.

Well, this is all I got after waiting all this time?!

"If you can't speak, you might as well just glue your mouth shut! No, it has another purpose—perfect for serving me!"

Sherry thought to herself.

She was so clever that even if he heard it, he could only pretend not to know.

Sure enough, the young Emperor Shunzhi's face turned red and then pale.

She looked at Shirley with a hint of shyness and frustration in her eyes.

“You, you, you—” Shunzhi was speechless.

"Oh? A woman as beautiful as me, has unfortunately encountered such an unromantic blockhead!"

Shirley ignored him and instead looked at herself in the mirror with a pang of self-pity.

"Hmm, the more I look at it, the better it looks. It's just that the blind man has no taste!"

After silently grumbling to himself, Li Luo calmly walked away.

Shunzhi wanted to say something, but he was so angry at Xue Li's heartfelt words that he couldn't say anything.

When he had prepared his speech and went to discuss it with others...

Sherry was already fast asleep.

Emperor Shunzhi was furious and unwilling to accept it!

"Hmph, shameless! 'Beautiful figure, noble soul,' they say? They really know how to flatter themselves! Humph, they have no shame!"

Shunzhi reluctantly pinched Xue Li's cheeks several times before leaving.

He was still feeling down on the way, and he knew that Mongolian women were barbaric and vulgar.

Why does she think about all sorts of things all day long...?

Shunzhi touched his forehead, which startled Wu Liangfu, who thought something was wrong with the emperor.

Shunzhi waved his hand and went to the front to handle government affairs.

Sherry is sleeping soundly!

He also catches up on sleep every day, in addition to cultivating his spirit and soul.

This continued for half a month before Sherry felt a little better.

After thinking for a while, Shirley chose a day when Shunzhi was in a good mood and shamelessly went to the Qianqing Palace again.

"Didn't I say that if anything happens, I should arrange for someone to deliver the message?" Shunzhi was indeed in a good mood today and wasn't angry.

“But I miss you so much~” Sherry stared intently at him.

Shunzhi looked at her with a sense of helplessness.

Sherry's gaze grew increasingly tender, her eyes moist and hesitant to speak.

After the two stared at each other for a while, Shunzhi was the first to look away.

Sherry ran over and smacked him on the face several times.

The emotions that had been weighing on Shunzhi's chest suddenly dissipated.

Shunzhi: Indeed, thinking that the Empress was gentle and affectionate was the biggest illusion in life! Without a doubt!

Sherry had no idea what he was thinking.
