Empress is in the harem again

Chapter 44 Nothing Happened

Rong Jinli casually leaned on the chair, "Who are you interested in seeing?"

Xiao Qi paused, shook his head and chuckled.

"It's a pity that I like women."

He didn't have any scruples when he spoke, joking as usual, as if the one in front of him was not the decisive emperor.

Xiao Qi was pondering over the chessboard, the pieces in his hand hadn't fallen for a long time, looking all the way down, on the surface he had the chance of winning, but the actual risk was very high.

While thinking, he said without raising his head, "Prime Minister Shen has been getting a little close to Ning Guohou recently, and I'm afraid that he will make some small moves secretly while taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the near future."

Rong Jinli's dark and cool eyes were like the calm before the storm, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Shen Xi is the only daughter of Prime Minister Shen. Even if he doesn't care about me, he still has to care about her. After all, she is my only sharp weapon, and she should be useful."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the trouble to let Shen Xi enter the palace on his own initiative.

Rong Jinli's handsome and cold face was full of viciousness.

Xiao Qi shrugged and smiled disapprovingly, he had seen Shen Xi before.

The woman praised by everyone is not only fair and beautiful, but also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, gentle and virtuous, and treats people well.

It's a pity that she was born in the Shen family.

He could only silently mourn for Shen Xi for 3 minutes.

"I heard that Concubine Li's personality has changed since she fell into the water."

When passing by the palace, I overheard the chatter of the maids.

He couldn't help but stop and listen for a while, and found that the person they were talking about had a completely different temperament from the Shen Xi he had seen.

He thought there was a newcomer in the palace.

Rong Jinli couldn't help but smile, and the black chess piece landed in the center, "Maybe it's because it's hidden deep, and there's another way to attract my attention."

Xiao Qi twitched the corners of his mouth at his exaggerated words without hesitation.

It's not arrogance, but the other party takes Rong Jinli very seriously.

Otherwise, the man with such a bright future would not want to, and rush into the palace.

His eyes drooped, he clicked his tongue, feeling regretful, and the chess piece between his fingers fell down unintentionally.

A game is set.

Xiao Qi looked remorseful, and patted himself on the head, "Mistake, oh mistake."

"Come again and again."

Greeting Rong Jinli for another game, I was really a little unwilling.

Even though he has never won with him every time, he still thinks that there will always be a day when he wins.

Rong Jinli's expression had long since restrained, as he wished.

In the end, Xiao Qi still returned disappointed.

After eating early, Shen Xi hid under the blanket and read a book.

Just like being relaxed during a modern holiday, her legs can't move around at will now, and she can only lie obediently.

"Master, the Empress sent someone over to inquire about what happened that night."

Tao Hong rushes in, furiously.

Shen Xi glanced at her lazily, "What night?"

"..."

Tao Hong's nervous face was stiffened by Shen Xi's indifferent look.

Explained a few words.

Shen Xi's eyes stayed on the climax of the script, but she didn't listen carefully.

Tao Hong called her, only for Shen Xi to squeak.

"and then."

Shen Xi sneered, and then added, "It's easier for you to ask her to go to the emperor directly."

"The master means that the emperor also knew that night? Could it be that the emperor—"

Tao Hong's eyes lit up, staring at Shen Xi, as if it had given her a great shock and excitement.

"Don't think too much, nothing happened."

Shen Xi threw the quilt over his head, and a muffled voice came from under the quilt.

She acted like she didn't want to be disturbed.
