The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

Phoenix Palace.

On the phoenix chair, Xiao Yishu looked down at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo remained kneeling very close.

Judging from the smell, the Empress didn't walk many steps today, which is a good thing.

"Little Mozi, what did you say in the note you gave to the Princess today?" Xiao Yishu asked lazily, her voice carrying an imposing aura.

Shen Mo couldn't understand how the Empress knew, and without time to think further, he reported the truth:

"Your Majesty, I have given the Princess a method for making a new food, which is called—ice cream."

Xiao Yishu looked relieved. So that's how it is. The eldest princess is known for her love of eating and playing.

wrong.

Xiao Yishu suddenly remembered something and asked, "The hot pot that the Eldest Princess promoted in the palace, was it also your doing?"

"I dare not conceal this from Your Majesty the Empress; it was done by a villain." Shen Mo lowered his head even further, displaying utmost humility.

He has some talent for unorthodox things, but he doesn't use it for good.

Xiao Yishu smiled, a hint of disdain in his eyes, it was unclear whether he was mocking Shen Mo or Princess Le Yao.

After a moment's thought, Shen Mo said, "Your Majesty is right. When I first saw Your Majesty, I was amazed by your divine beauty and my thoughts flowed like a spring. I would like to offer a poem."

"You can write poetry? Quickly, write some!"

Xiao Yishu's eyes lit up, and she instantly became interested.

Although she came from a military family, her father often taught her that "military prowess can subdue enemies, but only through civil administration can one govern a country."

Shen Mo composed himself and read aloud in a slow voice:

"Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers of her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew is heavy."

This half-sentence praises the Empress for her stunning beauty and innate nobility.

What's even more brilliant is that she's compared to a flower covered in morning dew. Isn't that praising her youth and how beautifully she's in bloom?

"Quick! Tell me what the second half of the poem is!"

Xiao Yishu's expression was no longer as calm as before; she was eager to know the second half of the poem.

Just as Shen Mo was about to read again, a eunuch suddenly reported from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince begs you to let him out. He says he will never bother the Imperial Concubine again, and he'll just spend money to go to a brothel for fun."

*Smash!*

The teacup flew out and shattered on the ground.

Xiao Yishu's ample chest heaved with anger as she roared, "Tell that unfilial son that he won't be coming out for a month! If any of you dare to relay his message again, you will be executed without mercy!"

Shen Mo didn't dare to breathe loudly, never expecting Xiao Yishu to look so terrifying when she was angry.

Thinking about it, it's understandable.

Not only was he interrupted at a crucial moment, but this prince, whose mind was full of women, could only come up with the excuse of begging for mercy when he was put in solitary confinement: to stop harassing the imperial concubine and instead go to brothels.

The big joke of slipping the world!

Suppressing her anger, Xiao Yishu said calmly, "Continue reading!"

"Yes, the second half of this poem is—'If not seen atop Mount Qunyu, then met beneath the moon on the Jade Terrace.'"

Xiao Yishu repeated it to herself, her expression blank.

This poem compares her to a celestial maiden descended to earth, and its choice of words and sentence structure is extremely elegant.

half an hour.

She bent down, gently stroking Shen Mo's cheek with her hand, her eyes slightly unfocused: "If Feng'er had half your literary talent and half your filial piety, how wonderful that would be?"

Shen Mo dared not reply. If he went along with the Empress and said even half a bad word about the Fourth Prince, he might lose his head.

As for praise? He really couldn't think of anything to praise that good-for-nothing for.

With an emperor father and an empress mother, he played a winning hand terribly; otherwise, he might have been able to compete for the position of crown prince.

No wonder Xiao Yishu was genuinely angry; he was so disappointed in Xiao Yishu!

"Fine! Let me see your eloquence once more."

Xiao Yishu shook her head, her jade-like feet freeing themselves from the bright red upturned shoes and resting on Shen Mo's shoulder.

Needless to say.

Shen Mo sighed inwardly and began to give his report.

......

"stop!"

Xiao Yishu was finally satisfied, and Shen Mo was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

He was about to bow and take his leave.

"Did I say you could leave?" Her eyes were deep, and a mysterious smile played at the corners of her lips.

He remained silent, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself, and stood there dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yishu issued several orders. After the attendants had prepared a bath in the side room, they were all dismissed to rest, leaving only Wu Xiong to guard the palace from a distance.

In the vast Fengyi Palace, only he and Xiao Yishu remained.

The main hall and the side rooms were not far apart, and Shen Mo could even hear the sound of water flowing when Xiao Yishu was bathing, which aroused endless imagination.

a long time.

Xiao Yishu, her hair still damp, appeared in a white silk robe and walked towards Shen Mo step by step, her graceful steps landing with a captivating air.

Every step is like a lotus blooming.

She walked up to him, cupped Shen Mo's cheeks, and said, "Little Mo, am I getting old?"

"If Your Majesty were a flower, you would be a peony in full bloom," Shen Mo said, shaking his head and revealing his thoughts.

Peony, the king of flowers.

Magnificent and beautiful, surpassing all others!

Xiao Yishu smiled slightly, clearly satisfied with Shen Mo's answer, and then asked, "Compared to the concubines in the Cold Palace, who is more beautiful?"

"Your Majesty's beauty is unmatched," Shen Mo replied sincerely.

Although it was somewhat deliberate, Empress Xiao Yishu's beauty was indeed unique and unparalleled.

Xiao Yishu nodded slightly, but her expression showed hesitation and confusion.

As the mother of the nation and the empress who embodies the virtues of the world, the things she wants to do next are quite crazy, and she can't help but think of her many years of relationship with the emperor.

But how much of that feeling remains?

The emperor now only favors young women; he has never given a second glance to the empress.

Last night, she even sent Wu De to hint to the emperor, but all she got was a curt "Your Majesty is unwell" and that was it. She didn't even bother to come up with a decent reason and continued to favor those young and beautiful women.

Xiao Yishu was certain that if her father died on the battlefield, the emperor would turn around and depose her as empress.

"Chu Chengjing, since you're heartless, don't blame me!"

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she overcame that obstacle in her heart.

With a tug on the belt, the white silk nightgown fell to the ground.

Shen Mo's heart skipped a beat, his throat went dry: "Empress... Empress..."

This is the Empress, the Emperor's woman, the mistress of the harem!

It's not hard to guess that her real situation isn't as glamorous as it seems on the surface, which is why she made this decision, and she might change her mind tomorrow.

"What? You're afraid?"

Xiao Yishu's eyes were filled with disdain, but also hinted at murderous intent.

Shen Mo would never dare to say no.

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Seeing this as a rare opportunity, Shen Mo went all out, stepping forward and lifting Xiao Yishu up in his arms.

Location: The main palace.

That priceless phoenix couch must have held countless memories of joy between Xiao Yishu and the emperor.

"I must be crazy!"

Xiao Yishu thought to herself, knowing only that her eternally lonely heart was about to be struck by an earthquake!

So I simply closed my eyes.

One hour later.

Shen Mo was certain that Xiao Yishu was very lonely, so lonely that even Liu Ruyan could not compare. This was evident from Xiao Yishu's seemingly drunk expression.

He thought to himself, "Li Zhaoxue, I've avenged half of your grudge. When I turn the tables and let Xiao Yi serve me comfortably, then I'll have fulfilled my promise."

Besides the Phoenix Palace, a truly earth-shattering event also occurred throughout the entire Great Qian Kingdom.

The Prince of Yan has raised an army in rebellion!
