Xie Shizhu didn't react until Xie Ji left.
She suddenly became a little unsteady.
I thought, although the original owner could sleep in the same bed with Xie Ji when he was a child, that was something he did when he was young and ignorant.
Now they have grown up and are no longer at that age where gender is not a factor.
Why did Xie Shizhu feel a little regretful about saving Xie Ji?
In fact, Xie Shizhu knows Xie Ji very well. In the original plot, Xie Ji has lost his mind at this time and does things that no one else would do.
Moreover, the civil and military officials in the court were basically his people, so he must have known that King Zhou was bullying her in the court.
After learning about this, his mind became even more crazy.
So she rode her horse as fast as she could to Prince Zhou's palace.
It was well known that the original owner practiced martial arts, otherwise he would not have been able to sit on the throne so easily.
Xie Shizhu believed Zhong Changyao's words and became a pawn of the other party, colluding with outsiders to rebel.
Now she probably wants to atone for her sins.
Xie Ji is the first step for her to atone for her sins.
Protect him.
Seven days later, it will be Xie Ji's Dancing Elephant year, which is also the coming-of-age ceremony in modern terms.
So she wanted to give Xie Ji a birthday surprise.
Give him a coming-of-age ceremony known to the entire Yue Kingdom.
Xie Shizhu took off his clothes and lay on the bed, thinking about how to celebrate Xie Ji's birthday. As he thought about it, he felt sleepy.
When she woke up, Ming Zhenru had already been waiting in the hall for a long time.
There were several palace maids waiting in front of the bed. When they saw Xie Shizhu get up, they looked up and hurriedly changed Xie Shizhu's clothes.
Soon, Xie Shizhu finished dressing up and when she sat down on the chair, she saw a basket of buns that did not belong to the palace placed in front of her.
She was slightly surprised and looked up at Ming Zhenru.
"This is?"
Ming Zhenru bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, these are your favorite buns. I bought them for you last night at Anchang Street."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu was moved for a long time, then he patted the empty chair beside him and said gently: "Let's sit down together."
Ming Zhenru stood there in a daze, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not. I am a slave..."
Before she could finish her words, Xie Shizhu interrupted with a faint smile: "I have already said that you are my sister. Please sit down. Do you want to disobey the imperial decree?"
Ming Zhenru was stunned for a few seconds, then under Xie Shizhu's gaze, he slowly stood up and sat down again incredulously.
The second she sat down, Xie Shizhu handed her a bun and said with a smile, "You worked so hard to buy this, so you should eat it first."
Ming Zhenru's hands were shaking when she took the bun from the woman's hand. She suppressed her emotion and nodded.
He took another bite of the bun under Xie Shizhu's gaze.
When Xie Shizhu saw her eating, the corners of his mouth curled up.
The system tutted and said, "Another scam, host! I know you clearly. Everything you do has a purpose."
Xie Shizhu said while chewing a bun: "I said I'm a good person."
System: [……] Do you think I believe it?
Just as Xie Shizhu was about to eat her second meal, she heard the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly come from outside the hall, announcing to her, "The Imperial Master wishes to see you."
As soon as the father-in-law finished speaking, Ming Zhenru, who was sitting on the chair, felt his back stiffen and began to sweat all over.
Xie Shizhu glanced at her and said slowly, "Let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In a moment, Zhong Changyao, dressed in blue, stepped into the hall.
Zhong Changyao saw Ming Zhenru sitting on the chair. He frowned slightly, then smiled softly and said with a slight reproach: "How can a servant dine with Your Majesty? This is against the rules."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ming Zhenru hurried to get up from the chair.
Xie Shizhu quickly grasped Ming Zhenru's shoulder and said in a tone that brooked no argument: "I already regard Guard Ming Zhenru as my own sister. Rules and regulations do not exist."
Zhong Changyao's expression froze for a moment, then quickly disappeared. A soft smile appeared on his hypocritical face: "Alright."
His gaze shifted to a basket of buns on the table, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he asked softly, "These buns don't look like food from the imperial kitchen."
He said this while smiling gently like water.
But he turned his gaze back to Ming Zhenru.
Ming Zhenru's body stiffened and he had difficulty breathing.
She could already imagine Zhong Changyao stabbing the sword into her chest.
When Ming Zhenru was ready to die, a lazy voice came into her ears.
Then, her pupils shrank slightly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
Xie Shizhu smiled innocently, looked up at Zhong Changyao, and said, "Well, I'm greedy, so I asked her to buy some buns for me on Anchang Street. Would you like to sit down and taste them, Imperial Master?"
