Transmigrated Empresses (Male and Female)

Chapter 90

Hehe, why didn't you say so earlier! When I finally got everything ready and started using Kitty as a pillow, I felt incredibly bored.

"Xiao Hai, let's have some entertainment."

Xiao Hai stood obediently behind me: "Does Lord Shen want to read a book or draw?"

"I want to see dancing."

Xiao Hai's face immediately darkened: "This is the Imperial Study."

"Is dancing not allowed in the Imperial Study?"

Xiao Hai resolutely replied, "Of course not."

"Then bring the cards, let's play some cards." We need to have something to do.

Xiao Hai reluctantly brought out my design and invention from last year.

He handed it to me, saying, "Lord Shen, are you playing with this yourself?"

I looked at him strangely: "Aren't you human?"

"I don't know how." You're kidding me, it's not like I've never played before.

"We're not betting this time."

"Really?" Xiao Hai's eyes finally lit up.

"Really. Really real, even more real than diamonds. Bring over a chair, let's play a couple of rounds." It's a rainy day, so I'm just idling around while I'm training my underling.

"Why aren't the cards shiny anymore?" The feel of the hand isn't as good as it was a few days ago.

Xiao Hai stared at the cards and replied casually, "The Emperor and the Prime Minister often use them to play, so they're not as shiny as they used to be."

I flicked my chips in frustration. If I play this all the time, I'll know how to play it all, and then how will I win money? Looks like I need to switch games. "I'll draw you a diagram later, and you can make it." Playing mahjong will just confuse you guys.

Just as we were getting into the killing spree, an even smaller eunuch stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Hai, Consort Chong requests an audience."

Xiao Hai put down the playing cards in his hand and said sternly, "The Emperor hasn't returned to the palace yet, so let's stop him."

"Yes." The young eunuch turned and left. We were just about to start when we heard a sharp, angry voice from outside the door: "I clearly saw Eunuch Hai go in, how can you say the Emperor is not here?"

A beautiful voice whispered, "Never mind."

“Master, that doesn’t count. Those servants only stopped us because they think you’re easy to bully.”

"Perhaps His Majesty has official business to attend to; we'll come back later." The voice was gentle, but it lacked any persuasiveness. No wonder even the maid dared to be so arrogant.

"The soup gets cold as soon as you turn it over."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hai suddenly stood up: "Oh no, it's the Crown Princess. This servant will go and see, Lord Shen, please wait a moment."

"Oh." I stared blankly at Xiao Hai running out. What? Is that lady so amazing? But if she can make Xiao Hai anxious, she must be amazing.

A moment later, Xiao Hai came in carrying a porcelain bowl. I looked up curiously and asked, "What is this?" It looked like food.

Xiao Hai put down his things and replied, "It's a nourishing soup that the Crown Princess personally brewed for His Majesty."

I rolled my eyes skeptically: "It must have been made by a maid. If the Empress is willing to cook herself, do you think she doesn't need to take care of herself?"

Xiao Hai retorted unhappily, "It must have been the Crown Prince's personal maid who cooked it. She used to be the Emperor's personal maid, and she personally took care of the Emperor's daily life and meals."

"Oh." I nodded as if suddenly realizing, "So they're childhood sweethearts, how romantic." Qianqing's life hasn't been in vain, having a girlfriend he grew up with.

I stared at the porcelain bowl, suppressing my hunger from not having eaten breakfast: "Is the soup good?"

Xiao Hai sat back down: "I don't know."

"How about we try it?" I'm so hungry!

Xiao Hai suddenly jumped up in surprise: "What did you say?"

Even Lord Shen was forgotten to be called. "Just a little bit, Qianqing won't be able to tell."

"No. That's deceiving the emperor." Xiao Hai straightened his posture and resumed his role as a dutiful gatekeeper.

It seems they're determined not to let me eat. I struggled to pull out yesterday's spoils from my pocket, held them up to my face, and said, "Qianqing! Qianqing! It's hard enough for me to even get a sip of water from you, let alone talk about sharing good fortune! Sigh! Let's not talk about it."

I was just about to put away the jade ornament when Xiao Hai suddenly knelt on the ground, stammering, "I know I was wrong, I didn't know... I didn't know... I didn't know..."

What do you not know?

Xiao Hai was puzzled for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He simply ladled a bowl of soup in front of me and said, "Please enjoy, Lord Shen."

This stuff really works! Let me taste it to see if it's salty enough. I carefully took a sip to savor it. "Hmm, not bad, excellent craftsmanship. Top-notch, even better than what Ya Xiange makes." It's delicious. I'll go back and see if my mother can make it.

Just as I was enjoying my meal, feeling relaxed and content.

Qianqing and Chouqian approached the original body with sour expressions.

I looked at them: "What's wrong?" You got bullied? Serves you right, you wouldn't let me speak. You had to wait for those idiots to open their mouths.

"May Your Majesty be blessed."

Qianqing roared, "Get down!"

"Yes." Xiao Hai took his leave.

I warmed my hands with the remaining soup. I lay on the comfortable artificial sofa and watched people.
