But she didn't!
She has a bigger temper than him.
What a waste of that beautiful, natural face.
Just as they were in a standoff, Lady Dong'e arrived.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress!" Dong Eshi's voice was urgent, and Xue Li saw Wu Liangfu behind her.
Ha, what a loyal slave!
Shunzhi sat down leisurely, and Tusi served him tea.
Sherry held her milk tea without saying a word.
"It's all my fault. It's because my body is weak that I wanted a child. Your Majesty, please don't blame the Emperor! It's all my fault."
It was the coldest time of winter, and it hadn't been long from Yikun Palace to Kunning Palace, yet Dong Eshi's face had turned white from the cold.
“Since you’ve realized your mistake, then send the child back to the Prince’s quarters. What, does Consort Xian still want to enjoy the Empress’s treatment? You’re quite greedy!” Shirley wasn’t trying to stand up for anyone; she was just disgusted.
They thought a half-dead ant was no big deal.
She has a knack for disgusting people, and I guess all the flattery people have given over the years has made them forget what it was like when Sherry dragged her out naked.
"Empress—" Shunzhi called out again, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"What, is Your Majesty going to favor your concubine over your wife?" Shirley slammed her teacup down.
As luck would have it, a few shards grazed Dong E's face.
Lady Dong'e could no longer hold back; she covered her face and dared not even cry.
Emperor Shunzhi hurriedly arranged for someone to summon the imperial physician.
Emperor Shunzhi stared intently at Xue Li for a long while before issuing the order: "The Empress has been disobedient; she is to be confined to her quarters!"
He then strode away, carrying Lady Dong'e in his arms!
They didn't notice the twins hiding behind the screen.
He didn't even notice the sarcasm in Jingrong's eyes!
He really is overestimating him.
However, the couple was directly blocked in front of Shirley.
"Ha! Does Your Majesty intend to interfere with my discipline of the concubines? Consort Xian has confessed her crimes; is Your Majesty going to turn a blind eye and break palace rules for her sake?"
Sherry had a half-smile on her face.
If he dares to carry Consort Xian out of this door today, tomorrow rumors of his untrustworthiness, lack of self-cultivation, and favoring his concubine over his wife will spread throughout the capital.
That will be another great joy during the first month of the lunar calendar!
"What does the Empress think?" Shunzhi asked, his face grim as he looked at Xue Li.
"Then go outside and kneel! Consort Xian has pleaded guilty, and I won't punish her, but she'll feel uneasy! Isn't that right, sister!?"
Shirley smiled brightly, and for a moment it felt like the whole room lit up.
Shunzhi looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression!
They simply left Dong Eshi behind and departed with her entourage!
However, Wu Liangfu was spared!
Sherry looked at Dong Eshi with great interest; Dong Eshi's face had been treated with medicine.
He curtsied and knelt outside, his face pale!
At this moment, Sherry felt like a villainous female supporting character in a storybook!
Yes, she's very satisfied!
Villainous female supporting characters are usually beautiful and rich, and she likes this character type.
Sherry glanced at Wu Liangfu, who was shivering from the cold, and then at Tus.
Tus arranged for people to serve the milk tea!
"Steward Wu, come in and have a chat with me!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Liangfu entered with a forced smile.
"This servant wouldn't dare!"
"Sit down! I'm just curious, who has such a big mouth?" Sherry didn't mince words at all.
Wu Liangfu had barely sat down halfway when he suddenly stood up.
"This, Your Majesty..."
Wu Liangfu was somewhat conflicted, but Xue Li understood.
"Alright, Lady Dong'e, kneel for one hour. When the time is up, send her back to Yikun Palace. I'm tired!"
Sherry turned and went into the inner room.
She wasn't blind to the shame, indignation, and resentment in Dong E's eyes.
So what?!
However, she thought that Shunzhi would jump up and down and shout to depose the empress.
There wasn't one!
Is it because she receives too much affection, or because she has twins?
Shirley was unsure, and after settling the two little ones down, she went to rest.
Even Emperor Shunzhi was unaware of this.
He had considered it, but he didn't think Dong E was worthy of being empress.
He didn't even dare to think about how Sherry would torment him if he proposed deposing the empress.
For a time, he was even afraid of women because of Sherry.
Of course, he was too embarrassed to tell anyone.
However, Shirley did not attend the banquet held during the first month of the lunar calendar.
Lady Dong'e fell ill upon returning home that day and did not attend the event.
The Empress Dowager, however, attended with her twins.
Then it was Jingrong himself.
Because he discovered that his third brother was intentionally competing with the Emperor for favor.
He was afraid something would happen to his sister, so he went with Shunzhi himself.
Emperor Shunzhi treated the children as ordinary people, but he greatly admired him.
After all, he's abnormally intelligent.
As a result, his third brother's intelligence and talent were completely insignificant in front of him.
Shirley learned of Xuan Ye's actions from the aunt who served him.
They didn't say anything!
After all, they had arranged for skilled lackeys to serve them long ago.
Who can compare to his intelligence and talent?
So, who was Hao Da'er in his past life?!
Sherry couldn't help herself.
One day, while the mother and her two children were eating hot pot, Shirley suddenly asked a question.
"Jingrong, you read books every day, which emperor do you like the most?"
Jingrong was somewhat surprised, and after thinking for a moment, replied, "My son's understanding is not comprehensive enough!"
"So what do you think of Qin Shi Huang?" Sherry thought she was very clever.
If he were a descendant of Qin Shi Huang, he would be extremely proud.
"...What does Mother think?" the little one asked Shirley with a cute smile.
Sherry felt that this kid was too cunning and annoying.
"A great emperor for all time! His faults were felt in his own time, but his merits will last for generations! The founder of unified and centralized power!"
