Xu Shi's abilities may have played a part in this, but if he had truly let things go unchecked, the relationships between everyone might not have been so good. Superficial peace might have been maintained, but it would certainly not have been as harmonious as it is now.
"Alright, alright, looks like I said too much?"
So she stopped worrying about it and changed the subject, "By the way, Miss Ke'an seems to be able to... switch sizes at will now, is that right?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"Oh, I was just wondering if it would be too much trouble to dress like this?"
The First Madam couldn't help but chuckle.
"You were absolutely right."
Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh. "So... do you have a good idea?"
"Maybe?"
Jiang Chengcheng tapped her chin with her finger. "Back on Silver Pine Island, I saw some animals affected by the 'Rust Fog.' One of them had a very distinctive hide with excellent elasticity... Maybe we could try making a dress for her?"
"Won't there be any danger?"
"I'll definitely handle it, okay? You're underestimating me..."
"Not at all, I trust Madam to do things right."
"Hehe, how about a kiss?"
"One isn't enough, at least two are needed."
...
"Uh, teacher, who is this...?"
Xu Shi and his two wives were in high spirits, but Dongfang Xiao, who was there to greet them, was a little taken aback.
"Oh, this is also my wife, Jiang Chengcheng."
Xu Shi casually remarked, "She's been here before, you should remember her, right?"
Sorry, I didn't... The little queen secretly rolled her eyes.
She could recall that Jiang Chengcheng was definitely one of the people Xu Shi and his group visited the palace for the first time. She was definitely one of them, eating a candied apple. But there were so many people that time, and her mind was on the weapons they brought. How could she remember so clearly?
As for the lady, she's easy to identify; you can tell just by looking at their interactions...
Strange images flashed through her mind, and the little empress's face instantly flushed.
It's hard to imagine that just a month ago she was an innocent girl who knew nothing about this. It can only be said that Xu Shi is a really good teacher, especially in terms of enlightening students. In a short period of time, he has enlightened her at least three times.
"Hello, Ms. Jiang."
Dongfang Xiao shook his head, came to his senses, and bowed politely.
"Hello, Your Majesty."
Jiang Chengcheng returned the greeting with a smile, and then corrected him, "Xu Shi is your teacher now, so you should call me teacher's wife."
"I don't recognize this teacher at all..." the little empress denied in her heart, but under Xu Shi's tyrannical power, she had no choice but to reluctantly call out, "Yes, Madam Jiang."
She felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Despite his amiable appearance, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Sister Xie didn't force herself to call him that, did she? Compared to that, this guy is practically a smiling tiger...
"What brings you here, Master's wife?"
However, she wouldn't say it out loud; she would keep these complaints to herself and still have to ask them respectfully and politely.
"It's nothing."
The First Madam waved her hand casually, "I was just curious about what the palace was like, so I came to take a stroll around."
Just wandering around... Dongfang Xiao felt more and more like complaining as he listened. What I'm saying is, although Xu Shi, this "Imperial Tutor," does have the privilege of bringing people in and out of the palace at will, this is not a street food stall. Can you guys at least show a little bit of respect?
However, this was clearly just wishful thinking. Given her current special relationship with Xu Shi, the only way to gain the respect of those around him was for them to be self-disciplined…
Otherwise... otherwise she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Ugh.
"Alright, stop teasing her."
At this point, Xu Shi started to play the good guy, saying, "Your teacher Jiang is a genius in mechanical engineering. The things I promised to give you have already arrived, and she'll have to explain them to you."
"Why?"
Dongfang Xiao was taken aback when she heard this. So that's how it is.
This was one of the few pieces of good news she could hear from Xu Shi, and her previous grievances immediately lessened, even bringing a hint of excitement.
The little queen was genuinely excited because she was indeed very interested in those novel objects, a point on which she shared the same opinion as a certain squinty-eyed man.
The reason for this is largely because she had lived in the inner palace for a long time, and over time she naturally developed a yearning for new things.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Jiang."
She thanked him profusely, and this time she called him "Master's Wife" much more naturally.
"It's my duty."
Jiang Chengcheng smiled and said, "This is an agreement between your master and you. I will not leave until I have fully taught you all."
"I heard you've already set up a related organization? I'll be going to give them lessons later. Not just these things, but also things like laying electrical circuits. Without me, you'd probably have to take a lot of detours."
"yes."
Dongfang Xiao nodded vigorously, but also asked an extra question, "Um, before you teach them... could you give me a private talk first?"
"oh?"
Jiang Chengcheng looked at her with some surprise upon hearing this.
"I... I am, after all, the Empress of the Hualan Empire. If I don't understand these things myself and just leave them to my subordinates, it is far from enough in my opinion."
The young empress said seriously, "But I can't possibly listen to the lecture with them, so, so could I trouble you, Madam Jiang, to..."
Because of the contractual deal with Xu Shi, she felt somewhat inferior in front of this group of people, and subconsciously became timid and hesitant, but the seriousness in her tone was easily discernible.
