Empress is in the harem again

Chapter 306 'Hot Pot'

"The prime minister means that I need your consent to do things?"

Rong Jinli's phoenix eyes were long and narrow, staring coldly at the few ministers in front of him led by Shen Taoye.

Shen Taoye lowered his head slightly, with the same expressionless expression, "I am terrified. As a subject, we should naturally help His Majesty share his worries. Now that many people on the border are staring at me, Your Majesty must do a good job of being a king to avoid panic. .”

For a moment, the air in the whole palace was filled with calmness like a storm is about to come, even the servants couldn't help but breathe lightly and dared not move.

Rong Jinli thumped the newly served teacup on the desk heavily, and the hot tea overflowed a little.

"The prime minister is threatening me?"

The man's breath was cold, sweeping across every corner.

The ministers knelt down in panic, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Only Shen Taoye unhurriedly met the gaze that seemed to cut him alive.

"I'm just reminding the emperor to be cautious. If you feel that your words are wrong, you can be punished. There is absolutely no complaint."

"The minister will leave first."

After speaking, the man who didn't care about the noble face became angry, and he left with a wave of his sleeves.

The kneeling ministers looked at each other.

This is the first time that they have blatantly argued with His Majesty. In the flames of war, they will always be the losers.

Xiao Qi looked at the man with a cold face, and shook his fan, "The Shen family is deeply rooted, it is not appropriate for Your Majesty to turn against him for the time being."

"His days are coming to an end."

Rong Jinli rubbed his finger on the jade wrench, and the corners of his lips curled up fiercely.

"The old man cares about his only daughter the most. Are you sure His Majesty can do it?"

Xiao Qi is an outsider, so he can see clearly.

These days he can see very clearly that he was able to bring Shen Xi to the birthday party last time, which is enough to prove the difference between the two.

And Shen Xi is the daughter that the prime minister cares most about, and this time it was because of her.

Rong Jinli's expression was gloomy, "The Shen family is like a raccoon dog, how can I let them run amok."

"Just don't regret it, Your Majesty."

Xiao Qi shook his head and looked into the distance with calm and distant eyes.

Shen Xi didn't know what was happening outside, the night fell, shrouded in a dark atmosphere.

Huatang Palace.

The backyard of the side hall was brightly lit, and several palace people sat around the fire without any rules. Looking carefully, they were all flattered.

"Your Majesty, servants, come here."

Shen Xi poured some seasonings into the pot, "No, I'll do it myself, and you can sit at ease."

"Huh, almost..."

Shen Xi glanced at the steaming soup, then pursed her lips and smiled.

She picked up the vegetables, dipped them in the small bowl, and tasted them, her eyes lit up.

"That's the taste."

Several people looked at each other, and they all said that they had never seen such a way of eating.

"Eat quickly."

Shen Xi looked at their faces with different surprises, and said jokingly, "Don't worry, the poison won't kill you."

"Slaves don't mean that."

The three quickly bowed their heads and knelt down.

Shen Xi curled up her lips, "Tonight we are friends, there is no distinction between high and low."

"The slaves are terrified, how can this be done."

"Master, you are a concubine, slaves and servants are all vulgar people, how can they be friends."

Shen Xi paused slightly, scanning their panicked expressions.

"What are you thinking about? They say it's just tonight. For such a long time, you've been serving you thoughtfully. I've given you an exceptional reward from this Palace. I won't have this chance in the future."

Surprise flashed across Tao Hong's eyes, she and Caidie Xing'er looked at each other, and quickly thanked her.

With this background, they feel at ease.

Following Shen Xidu's example, he began to eat in a decent way.
