Empress is in the harem again

Chapter 105 "Cut Corners"

Without waiting for her to speak, Rong Jinli waved off his huge sleeves and sat at the round table opposite her.

The affection in those pitch-black eyes was about to overflow, and the corners of his mouth curled into a deep arc.

"If I don't come, how can I happen to hear the dancing posture prepared by my concubine? I am very happy."

Shen Xi secretly rolled her eyes, curled her lips, "The concubine didn't prepare any dance, the emperor misheard."

"Oh?"

The corners of Rong Jinli's lips were slightly curved, and the end of his voice was slightly raised. His charming and magnetic voice was bewitching.

Shen Xi pretended not to hear, and changed the subject.

"Shouldn't the emperor go to pick up the empress at this time? It's hard not to be flattered to come here."

In front of the man, Shen Xi said while unlocking the bell.

His complexion was not at all turbulent, if it wasn't for the opening and closing of his lips, Rong Jinli almost thought he was hallucinating.

He chuckled lightly, "What are you talking about? If I don't come, what will Aifei get angry at that time?"

Shen Xi raised her eyes, wanting to look at each other and smile, doing enough to act with him.

"It's a pity that the concubine has not finished dressing at this time."

The tone of wanting to drive people away and refuse is already very obvious, even if it is a bystander, they can quite hear it.

Rong Jinli said as if nothing had happened, "I'll just wait a little longer, my concubine take your time."

Shen Xi's brows moved slightly, but this man seemed to be deaf, and refused to leave.

If it weren't for her handsome appearance that can do whatever she wants, she would definitely knock people to the ground in normal times.

She took a deep breath, and pressed the tip of her tongue to her cheek, "Since the emperor has said so, then you have to wait a little longer."

Shen Xi squinted at him and smiled, a little sinister.

Turning around slightly, facing the bronze mirror, she turned her entire back to him.

Rong Jinli held his forehead, not intending to care about her rudeness.

Sensing a certain gaze, Rong Jinli coldly looked at that gaze with complete accuracy.

But he never caught the existence of that gaze.

Several palace people came in one after another, serving hot water and snacks for Rong Jinli.

When Zhao Rong was about to pour the tea, he frowned, and caught a glimpse of the emperor staring at the transparent water with some unknown meaning.

Immediately scolded, "Bold, how dare you replace the tea with hot water to fool the emperor!"

Shen Xi's slender, white fingers were slightly bent, resting on his chin, staring at the bronze mirror's eyes and lightly squinting at the situation there, but remained silent.

The palace servants knelt down with a plop, their trembling voices were extremely obvious in the quiet bedroom.

"Your Majesty is used to drinking hot water, and no more tea is allowed, so the previous tea was replaced. I didn't expect the emperor to arrive, so I—"

Rong Jinli locked his eyes on Shen Xi, seeing her leaning and lazy posture, Tao Hong was combing Shen Xi's hair, winding it into a stylish temple, that figure even He heard movement behind him, but he didn't seem to intend to explain it at all.

The tails of his long and narrow eyes were slightly raised, revealing a playful smile.

Leaning back slightly, her thin lips parted slightly, "Pull it down."

Immediately afterwards, the voice became a little louder, "My beloved concubine, why can't she even afford tea, she must be some short-sighted slaves who cut corners."

There was an unmistakable hint of ridicule in his tone.

Shen Xi, who didn't take it seriously at all: "..."

"The concubines don't like tea recently, so they asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to provide it. If the emperor wants to blame him, it may be the Ministry of Internal Affairs' responsibility in the final analysis."
