What exactly is going on with Consort Shu today?
She was so enthusiastic that she didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Isn't she the one who annoys her the most usually?
"Your Majesty, this tea is Longjing tea that was recently brought to the palace. It has a fragrant aroma. I wonder if Your Majesty can get used to it?" After saying this, Consort Shu lowered her eyes with some shame: "The things in my palace can naturally not compare with those in Your Majesty's palace. Your Majesty, please do not find them unpalatable."
The Empress gave an awkward smile and glanced down at the tea in her cup.
This fine Longjing tea was Emperor Yuanwu's favorite.
Aside from the Empress Dowager receiving some, Emperor Yuanwu kept a portion for himself and bestowed the rest upon Consort Shu.
The other ladies in the palace probably wouldn't even have the chance to see it.
Every piece of furnishing and decoration in the Qiluan Garden is worth at least ten thousand gold pieces.
In this palace, besides the Empress Dowager's palace, what other palace can compare to Qiluan Garden?
Consort Shu was not afraid of making a fool of herself by saying such things.
But Emperor Yuanwu took it to heart and found it exceptionally pleasing to the ear.
"Consort Shu respects the Empress very much. I am very pleased to see that you sisters can get along so harmoniously."
Just as Emperor Yuanwu was feeling gratified, he heard Mu Qianqian's incessant inner monologue the next second.
[Father!]
Don't get too excited yet.
[This Empress, your maidservant, isn't here for a casual visit.]
She's here to complain!
[Her self-directed and self-acted drama is about to begin!]
Emperor Yuanwu frowned slightly.
He didn't quite understand what she had just said.
It was just a matter of time before he wanted to listen carefully.
But Mu Qianqian didn't say anything.
It's so frustrating!
Since Mu Qianqian won't say anything.
Then he had no choice but to listen to what the Empress had to say.
"Empress, you just said you had something to say. What is it?" Emperor Yuanwu asked sullenly.
The smile on the Empress's face became even more stiff.
Emperor Yuanwu has already made his point to this extent.
Consort Shu showed great respect for the Empress.
What does it mean to live in harmony?
If she were to expose Xiao Shunzi's acceptance of bribes at this moment, wouldn't it make her appear as if she were disrupting the harmony of the harem?
But if I don't say it...
Wouldn't her chest of gold and silver jewelry have simply gone to that little Shunzi for nothing?
no.
So much silver.
Wouldn't this kill her?
The Empress steeled her heart, stood up, and knelt directly before Emperor Yuanwu.
Mu Qianqian, who was having a great time, suddenly stopped abruptly with her fingertips.
【Holy crap!】
[Your Majesty, there is no need for such a grand ceremony.]
Consort Shu: ...
Mu Qianqian really dares to say anything!
Emperor Yuanwu:? ? ?
Kid!
What are you thinking?
She wasn't kneeling before you at all.
She's kneeling before me!
Okay, okay.
"Your Majesty's hospitality is greatly appreciated."
Please begin your performance.
Go ahead and cause as much trouble as you want.
Emperor Yuanwu:...
Emperor Yuanwu swallowed hard: "Your Majesty, please speak freely. There is no need for such a grand ceremony."
What a teachable father!
She was practically laughing hysterically inside.
But she has to endure it now.
Being a princess is quite difficult.
Mu Qianqian was secretly suppressing a laugh.
Huang Jiu gave an awkward laugh, somewhat at a loss: "It's just... it's just that someone came to report yesterday that Xiao Shunzi from Consort Shu's palace accepted a box of gold and silver jewelry from someone in Prime Minister Meng's residence, in order to help Prime Minister Meng's daughter stand out in the imperial concubine selection."
