When Ao Bai and Xue Li got together, they were incredibly flirtatious.
Upon hearing this, Sherry instinctively stared at his groin.
My mind is filled with wild fantasies.
Ao Bai chuckled softly, then pinched Xue Li's chin and leaned down to kiss her.
Shirley's eyes were moist, and her lips were soft and tender.
Ao Bai remembered his important business.
"This is a personal gift from your servant to Your Highness. Your Highness stays in the deep palace and can spend money as needed. If it's not enough, this servant has more! This was bestowed by His Majesty."
As Ao Bai spoke, he took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket.
Then he turned around and came in carrying the tray.
Some gold and jade items.
Sherry smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty, recently, the Emperor and Consort Dong'e have developed a very close relationship."
Ao Bai added another sentence.
"Then make arrangements to ensure that the general discovers all of this!"
Ao Bai was somewhat surprised, but he still nodded and took his leave.
Sherry thought that New Year's Day would be a good day.
He had an affair with the minister's wife.
She seduced his minister.
Surprisingly, the Emperor and Empress were quite in sync in this regard.
When Shunzhi saw that Ao Bai had returned, he didn't ask anything. After all, he thought that Xue Li was well-behaved.
He couldn't even see the color of the hat.
He glanced at Ao Bai, and there was another letter.
Ao Bai accepted the imperial decree and took his leave.
After all, he could only entrust such matters to his trusted confidants.
He wouldn't trust anyone else with the job.
At this time, the relationship between Shunzhi and Consort Dong'e underwent a qualitative leap.
After all, in Shunzhi's eyes, the concubines in the harem were incompetent fools, and he had no place to speak to them.
This is not because of Dong E Wan Yue.
Dong'e Wanyue was just as melancholy as he was.
She said her husband didn't understand romance and poetry.
He said even the Empress didn't understand poetry and songs.
At this moment, when Shunzhi saw Dong'e Wanyue, it was as if he saw himself.
It's a pity that such a woman met the wrong man, and it's also a pity that my harem doesn't have Dong E Wan Yue.
Just thinking about it, recalling Wanyue's beautiful and charming face, her gentle and tender temperament, and her understanding heart, suddenly made the beast in my heart leap out.
However, Dong'e Wanyue felt a deep connection with him, but was also constrained by the fact that she was already married.
She ignored his attempts to befriend her.
This was precisely the time for Dong'e Wanyue to avoid the situation.
Sherry peeked at their love letters.
Hmm, they're pretty good at pulling things apart.
What you can't have always seems more alluring.
She was so enamored with Shunzhi's imperial aura that she didn't even bother with him anymore.
If this cat-abandoning effect happened once or twice, Emperor Shunzhi would surely fall deeply in love with it.
People are often misled by their obsessions.
However, Dong'e Wanyue was not exactly an innocent girl.
She is well-read and deeply influenced by Han culture.
Privacy in the inner quarters was also frequently violated.
Putting everything else aside, the mere fact that an emperor favored her was enough to make her happy.
Perhaps she didn't have any other ideas at first.
But as the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, reason is useless.
She and her husband didn't have much in common, so having a confidante made her ecstatic.
They hit it off just as well, and that person was an emperor, the most powerful ruler in this dynasty.
How could anyone not be tempted? How could it not ignite her ambition?!
Especially since that person ignored the rest of the harem and treated her the only one that mattered.
No one can refuse such favoritism!
Lady Dong'e smiled sweetly and gently as she held the letter.
She didn't notice that a little maid in the courtyard would occasionally glance at her, noticing the sweet look on her face and her absent-mindedness.
Dong'e Wanyue did not reply, as if she was deliberately avoiding suspicion.
Emperor Shunzhi believed it and lost his temper in court for several days.
One day, after her husband had gone to bed, he knocked her unconscious and began searching through her desk.
After a long while, he frowned, clutching a stack of letters.
The letter box was placed in the corner. At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it was found to be made of fine ebony.
Because he couldn't recognize many of the characters, he still took the letter to the front yard to find the clerk in his mansion.
The old man was horrified after reading the letter, and he trembled like a leaf!
Even if the general knew exactly what was going on, what couldn't he understand from the advisor's expression?!
"That vile woman!" The general was furious and grabbed his spear, ready to settle scores with Dong Eshi.
However, he was quickly stopped by the advisor.
"General, calm down, calm down! If the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die!"
Upon hearing this, the general's face turned deathly pale.
More than anything, I felt anger and resentment!
"I went into battle to kill the enemy and make great achievements, and they secretly colluded with... you know!!!" The general wanted to say something but couldn't, and was panting heavily.
"Secretly having an affair!" The old man's mouth moved faster than his brain, and he regretted it as soon as he said it.
"I will not tolerate this humiliation. Today, Lady Dong'e will die suddenly!" The general was still unwilling to accept it, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
"General, calm down. Killing her is not the problem, but what if that person takes their anger out on you..." the old man said earnestly.
The general was so angry that he was panting heavily. He closed his eyes, held his head in his hands, and wished he could have a good, satisfying fight.
"Now that we're prepared, I suspect that Madam... also wants to move up the ranks. At that point, General, you certainly won't be able to keep her. How about a divorce?!"
The old man tentatively mentioned it.
"Impossible! Why would she treat me like a cuckold?! She wants to climb up? I'll crush her into the mud."
The general's face was dark and gloomy, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.
"General, she has someone behind her. If that person wants her to enter the palace, they will definitely clear obstacles for her. You should be the first to bear the brunt!"
The more the old man thought about it, the more frightened he became.
The emperor wants you dead; he can just make up a crime on the spot.
After all, no matter how useful a general is, he is not the most useful one.
The general's face was grim, and his smile was sinister.
"I've pampered her and treated her with the utmost respect and affection. Yet she's still insatiable! Fine, I'll grant her her wish!"
As the general spoke, he took a box from his study, inside which was a medicine bottle.
The old man's expression was complicated.
"What happened today, you and I know!" the general said, then returned to Dong E's courtyard with a stack of letters in his hand.
Furthermore, he personally prepared the medicine and fed it to her.
The general stood by the bed, staring intently at Dong Eshi, his fists clenched, and fell asleep without uttering a sound.
Meanwhile, Shunzhi, who had arranged for someone to listen to the news, heard that the couple had a "nighttime conversation" the previous night.
His face turned as red as if a palette had been overturned in anger.
This news was deliberately spread by Ao Bai, who wanted him to experience the resentment he felt while eavesdropping in Kunning Palace.
Of course, he intentionally concealed the important information.
For example, Dong E's husband saw those letters.
For example, Dong E's husband returned and fed her a secret medicine from the previous dynasty.
Emperor Shunzhi was unaware of all this, but his resentment only strengthened his resolve to bring Lady Dong'e into the palace.
The opportunity will come soon.
The palace was bustling with activity during the New Year's Eve banquet.
Since winter began, Shirley instructed the imperial kitchen to give the palace servants a bowl of ginger soup every day.
After all, she felt cold even when she went outside, let alone the palace servants.
