After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 237 The Fifth Prince Returns
What is the emperor going to do?Would he straightforwardly express to everyone how much he valued Jinse?

Or is it that the emperor used this incident to express his dissatisfaction with himself to everyone?

The more she thought about it, the harder Queen Li's expression became. Looking at Shui Xiu standing there with her head lowered, she couldn't help but become angry.

Empress Li looked at Shui Xiu with cold eyes and said angrily: "I asked you to arrange those things carefully, but as a result, there was a big fuss. The eldest prince is still safe and sound, jumping around in the court all day long. That Jinse is also fine now, even Yu was promoted, please tell me what you arranged at that time!"

After hearing these words, Shui Xiu died with a pop. He cried secretly in his heart, but he kept pleading for mercy on his face: "This is all a slave's incompetence, please forgive me!".

Empress Li snorted coldly: "What's the use of saying that you can't do things well now?".

Even if she asked people to drag Shui Xiu out and beat her half to death, what would she be able to change?Isn't it true that the eldest prince is doing well, and isn't Jinse still promoted to a first-class palace maid?
After hearing this, Shui Xiu just lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

After a while, Queen Li continued: "Now that these are useless, it is better for me to think of ways to get rid of that annoying thing."

Shui Xiu felt bitter in her heart. She understood that the 'eyesore' Queen Li mentioned was not only Jinse, but also the eldest prince and other people.

Needless to say about others, are the princes and concubines so easy to get rid of?
If it were really that easy, the harem of the Dasheng Dynasty would not be like this.

But even if these people are removed, from Shui Xiu's point of view, Jinse is not someone who can be dealt with casually.

In the past, Jinse was only a second-class maid of Emperor Zhao Palace. Even so, they had to think of various ways to deal with her secretly.

Now that Jinse is the first-class maid of Emperor Zhao Palace, it is self-evident that the emperor attaches great importance to her. Under such circumstances, what solution can she come up with at once?
Seeing that Shui Xiu remained silent, Empress Li frowned again and felt a little unhappy. She asked with a cold face: "Why don't you speak?".

Shui Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said bravely: "That Jinse has been promoted to a higher level, but after all she is just a palace maid. Why should the empress care so much? Looking at the emperor's intention, the servant seems to have no intention of releasing her to the harem. !".

Since she won't become a concubine, in Shui Xiu's view, Jinse's threat to Queen Li is actually not that big.

Therefore, Shui Xiu felt that it would not be appropriate for Empress Li to anger the emperor several times over a Jinse.

After hearing this, Queen Li snorted coldly: "I just don't like her. Besides, since she is just a palace maid, why can't she be removed directly!".

Things that are not pleasing to the eye must be eliminated naturally, regardless of whether the other party will really become a hindrance to you in the future.

Seeing Empress Li like this, Shui Xiu could only say: "Your Majesty, what happened on the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed. Now that Jinse has just been promoted to a higher level. Many people must be staring at her. It is not suitable for us to treat her now." Take action!".

If he deals with Jinse secretly at this time, it will be fine if he is not discovered. If he is discovered, there is no telling what kind of trouble it will cause.

Shui Xiu felt that this was not worthwhile.

There was some truth to this. Empress Li frowned when she heard it. Although she was not satisfied, she said nothing more.

It was at this time that a little palace maid ran in from outside the palace and came in happily to report: "Your Majesty, there was news from the front that His Highness the Fifth Prince has returned to the palace. At this time, he is meeting the Emperor in the Royal Study. He said he would come to your Majesty in a moment. Greetings!".

The fifth prince is back?

After hearing the news, Queen Li was slightly stunned, but Shui Xiu looked very happy.

Shuixiu said to Empress Li with a smile on her face: "Your Highness, your Majesty, we have made great achievements in inspecting various places on behalf of the Emperor this time, and the Emperor will definitely give you a good reward!".

After hearing this, Empress Li showed a satisfied expression and nodded with a slight smile: "Well, the fifth prince has worked hard when he went out, and he deserves a reward from the emperor."Shui Xiu smiled and said yes, thought for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, it's almost lunch time. It's rare for Your Highness to come back. Do you want to keep Your Highness to have dinner with Your Majesty?"

Queen Li frowned and wanted to say no.

The relationship between Empress Li and the fifth prince has never been far or close, and it was even business-like most of the time. There were rarely those warm scenes between mother and son.

Therefore, Empress Li was a little repelled by the proposal of Shui Xiu.

Shui Xiu took a sneak look and knew what Empress Li's expression meant, and immediately said: "The Fifth Prince has been away for a long time, and it is rare for him to come back. The empress should comfort him. Besides, will the recent events have to be discussed with the Fifth Prince?" Tell me?".

It is time to discuss these recent matters with the fifth prince. This is a serious matter.

Empress Li thought about it in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded: "That's fine, then go down and get ready!".

Shui Xiu responded hurriedly, then went down with a smile and ordered people to get ready.

Not long after, the fifth prince left the imperial study.

I don’t know what the emperor and the fifth prince said. In short, when the fifth prince left, he looked like he was not listening.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, the fifth prince planned to go to Fengzhao Palace.

After all, he had been away on business for a long time and had returned to the palace. Naturally, he should go to Fengzhao Palace to pay respect to Empress Li.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that not long after the fifth prince left the imperial study, he met the fifth prince coming out of the imperial kitchen carrying tea.

The two of them walked across from each other and when they saw each other, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Jinse naturally knew that the fifth prince was back, but she didn't expect that she would meet the fifth prince so soon.

On the way back, the fifth prince naturally heard about what happened in the palace and the court during this period. Naturally, he also learned about the news that Queen Li wanted to get rid of Jinse, but unexpectedly promoted Jinse.

On the way back, the fifth prince thought about these things from time to time. Because he thought about it more, he naturally also had a lot of thoughts about Jinse.

But he didn't expect that when he came back, he would meet Jinse.

After Jinse was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head slightly, bowed slightly to the fifth prince, and then continued walking to the imperial study with a cup of tea.

He completely showed that he didn't want to deal with the fifth prince.

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment when he saw Jinse like this. Then when Jinse passed by him, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop her.

If he hadn't stopped so quickly, Jinse would have almost bumped into the fifth prince's arm.

She hurriedly stopped, and after a while of fussing, she stabilized the tea cup in her hand.
