After taking two steps, they turned back.
"Give it to me!" he said, extending his hand to Shirley with a matter-of-fact expression.
Sherry looked at her treasures; many of them were drawn by her. Why should she?
“If Your Majesty wishes to see, you can come tonight! We can watch together!” As she spoke, the abacus beads bounced directly onto Shunzhi’s face.
Shunzhi was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "I'm punishing you!"
"Why should I? Who are you trying to benefit from by learning these tricks? I haven't even had a chance to take the first bite before someone else does?!"
Sherry stood with her hands on her hips, looking fierce.
When Shunzhi met the suspicious gazes of Ao Bai and Wu Liangfu, he could only angrily flick his sleeves and leave.
Bo Wengkuo looked puzzled. She also wanted to take a look, but Li Luo simply put the book away.
Honestly, what are you looking at, little girl?
Bo Wengkuo left looking dejected.
Upon leaving Kunning Palace, Emperor Shunzhi immediately learned that the master had been invited to Cining Palace.
He then led his men to the Cining Palace to discuss a plan!
However, Shunzhi had other ideas, such as deposing the empress. Wasn't that a ready-made reason?
The phoenix has flown away... but what if we bring the deposed empress back? What difference would it make?!
There is a difference. The deposed empress would only yell at him, but wouldn't carry him or bully him.
Shunzhi angrily slammed his fist into his palm. Wu Liangfu and Ao Bai exchanged a glance but remained silent.
However, Shunzhi was troubled again when he recalled Yulinxiu's words.
Upon arriving at Cining Palace and seeing the Empress Dowager's overjoyed expression, Shunzhi's heart sank slightly.
"Oh? Your Majesty, you seem so happy. Is there something to celebrate?"
As Shunzhi spoke, his eyes turned to Master Yulin Xiu.
The master, with his kind and benevolent appearance, uttered a Buddhist chant.
"Amitabha!"
"Didn't they see a phoenix at Kunning Palace? I was afraid something bad was about to happen. I just asked the master, and he said it was because Her Majesty the Empress is blessed with great fortune and is praying for the people! Yes, arrange for someone to see where that phoenix flew to; I fear a natural disaster is about to occur..."
The Empress Dowager spoke while fiddling with her prayer beads.
His face was beaming with joy.
Shunzhi didn't think of anything else, after all, a blessing banquet was to be held the next day, so it made sense.
So, could it be that the Empress really does have something going on?!
How is that possible?!
What kind of empress would dare to—view erotic pictures in broad daylight?!
Could it be that the phoenix flew away because she saw it in broad daylight? The more Shunzhi thought about it, the more he felt that this was indeed the case!
However, recalling the Empress Dowager's words, Shunzhi's expression changed.
After a while, Shunzhi left Cining Palace and made an appointment with Yulin Xiu to discuss Zen and Taoism together another day.
The Empress Dowager seemed to sense Shunzhi's displeasure, and the smile on her face faded.
The instigator, Sherry, was essentially burying her head in the sand.
After all, her personal maid knew about the noise she made when she jumped around.
But then I thought, even though the Emperor doesn't like the Empress, he can't do anything about her, can he?
Tus can rest assured!
Sherry was thinking about what games she should play with Shunzhi that evening.
Meanwhile, Emperor Shunzhi was still thinking about how to steer public opinion in the right direction.
After all, the forces advocating for the restoration of the Ming dynasty still exist, and a long-term plan is needed.
Therefore, he had no choice but to do the job of being the Empress, whether he liked it or not.
Shunzhi looked displeased. He was annoyed that one or two people were forcing him to do things he didn't want to do!
The empress first bullied him in bed, and now she's doing this blessing ritual.
Shunzhi: It's as if she's afraid I'll depose her.
Sherry didn't think that way. Instead, she thought of a phoenix and actually put on phoenix makeup.
Alluring eyeliner, delicate gold leaf, dark green feathers on her flowing hair, dewy lips, and a stunningly beautiful gauze dress…
