Dad, Did You Study Today?

Zhou Qing was about to bow and greet when she was stunned. She looked at the back of the emperor's head in surprise, and then her eyes fell on the table on the side.

There was a teapot and a teacup on the table.

The teapot and teacup were painted with gold edges and albizzia flowers, exactly the same as the ones she used under the albizzia tree just now.

Her heart pounded twice, Zhou Qing took a breath silently, and went forward to pour tea.

He handed the tea forward, and before Zhou Qing could speak, the emperor quickly grabbed the teacup, and the speed was almost as fast as a pickpocket.

It seemed that if he was a second slower, he would have died of thirst.

"Your tea-making skills have suddenly improved!"

The emperor took a sip, looked comfortable, and turned around happily.

He was startled when he saw Zhou Qing, "Zhou Qing?"

As he said that, he looked around, and then said in surprise: "Did you just make tea for me?"

Zhou Qing bowed his head and greeted.

The emperor shouted directly outside, "Someone come!"

The voice suddenly broke out in Zhou Qing's ear, scaring Zhou Qing.

I almost jumped.

To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. He is not going to kill her suddenly because of a cup of tea.

With the emperor's shout, the door of the imperial study was pushed open with a creak, and the eunuch chief steward hurried in.

The emperor immediately yelled, "I asked you to pick someone up, why did you let him in by yourself! Shen Li left Beijing in the middle of the night yesterday, and I felt sorry for the couple. You... you... look at what you did!"

Eunuch chief steward

My majesty, please, if your acting is a little more realistic, this old slave will not have to hold back his laughter so hard now!

Reluctantly taking a breath, the eunuch chief said hurriedly: "I know my crime."

The emperor waved his hand unhappily, then looked at Zhou Qing, and his voice became gentle, "Yesterday was a good day for you to get married. Logically, Shen Li should have been given three days off.

Unexpectedly, something happened suddenly, and you were wronged."

Zhou Qing was relieved and bowed his head and said: "As a minister, Shen Li should be devoted to his duties. It is his honor to be trusted by your majesty."

The emperor smiled and said: "He is a good minister."

As he said, the emperor took the teacup and took another sip, "Okay, you go back. You were wronged yesterday. I will send someone to send a reward later. Shen Li is my good minister. You are the one he chose, and I will not let you be wronged."

Zhou Qing left the imperial study in a daze.

She said she came to the palace to thank the emperor, but she came out before she said the words of thanks.

The time she spent in the imperial study was not even half as long as the time she spent under the acacia tree.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the tree, Zhou Qing was escorted out of the palace by the eunuch.

Imperial study.

The emperor sat behind the table with tea in his hand, drinking it sip by sip.

It seemed that what he was drinking was not tea, but some kind of nectar he had never seen before, just like a primary school student licking the last piece of beef jerky.

It had to be eaten bit by bit.

The eunuch chief stood on one side, feeling that he couldn't bear to watch.

"Your Majesty, drink it, it's already cold."

The emperor swung his legs, "What's the fear of cold? I drink herbal tea in summer. I love this taste."

The eunuch chief rolled his eyes, "Lord Shen also made tea for you before."

The emperor immediately said, "How can it be the same!"

After saying that, he suddenly thought of something, with a light in his eyes, and turned his head to look at the eunuch chief, "How long do you think they can have children?"

The eunuch chief almost fell over.

"Your Majesty, aren't you too anxious!"

The Emperor said unhappily: "Nonsense, isn't the Emperor anxious, but the eunuch is?"

The Eunuch

Yes!

I didn't say anything!

Your heartbreak needs a four-piece set!

The Emperor sipped his tea, and said with great interest: "What was Zhou Qing's reaction just now at the tree of love?"

The Eunuch told him everything that had just happened, ".I think she seemed to have guessed something."

The Emperor hummed, "She's smart."

The Eunuch was silent, "Aren't you afraid that she will really guess something?"

"I just want her to guess."

After the words fell, the Emperor took another sip of tea, and after a long while, he said again: "This way, she will have the confidence."

The Eunuch was stunned, and then he understood.

If Zhou Qing guessed Shen Li's identity, and the Emperor valued Shen Li, she would be more confident when facing the Queen Mother and the Queen in the future.

Or, what the emperor wants is not full confidence at all.

Rather, they share the same hatred and enemies.

"Why do you have to do this? What happened in Rongyang Marquis' Mansion back then was enough to make them share the same hatred and enemies."

The emperor shook his head, "It's different. It's different to form an alliance for each other's own benefit and to be united as a couple. I will never be united as a couple in this life, but I want Shen Li to have someone who is united with him."

"Are you so sure that Miss Zhou can do it."

The emperor interrupted the eunuch general manager, "She was chosen by Shen Li. Whether it's Zhou Qing, Wang Qing or Zhao Qing, as long as it's chosen by Shen Li, I support him. All I can give him is support.

I don't want Zhou Qing to be a hindrance to Shen Li when he does something one day. I hope that Zhou Qing is his help.

Shen Li will definitely not say this himself.

Then I can only say it for him."

Although the emperor didn't say anything directly, his intention today was also very obvious.

First they drank tea under the albizia tree, and then they drank tea in the imperial study room, using exactly the same albizia cup.

No matter how stupid Zhou Qing was, he still figured out something.

All the way out of the palace, Zhou Qing kept thinking about why the emperor would do such a thing and what his purpose was.

Just want her to offer you tea?

still

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Shen Mingzhu head-on.

Shen Mingzhu, who looked evil, stood not far from the palace entrance. When he saw her coming out, he immediately walked towards her.

With disgust, hatred and ridicule in her eyes, Shen Mingzhu blocked Zhou Qing's way, "What? The imperial decree granted marriage, but Shen Li didn't accompany you to the palace today to thank you?"

In front of the palace gate, Zhou Qing paused and turned his head to look at Shen Mingzhu, still thinking about what happened just now.

Seeing that Zhou Qing ignored him, Shen Mingzhu said again: "Do you think that by marrying Shen Li, a sparrow will turn into a phoenix, and you will be on an equal footing with us in the future? Stop dreaming."

Zhou Qing looked at Shen Mingzhu, then raised his hands and lowered his hands.

Snapped!

A crisp sound exploded on Shen Mingzhu's face.

"Of course I don't feel like I want to be on an equal footing with you. After all, you are poor, ugly and older than me."

After the slap, what Zhou Qing was thinking about suddenly became clear to him.

Shen Mingzhu was slapped suddenly, and the anger in her heart soared. However, she looked over Zhou Qing's shoulder and saw Mrs. Guang Ping coming over.

Suddenly, he staggered, stretched out his hands to cover his face, and burst into tears.

"Zhou Qing, why are you like this? I was just kindly wishing you a happy wedding, why did you hit someone! No matter what, I am also the daughter of the Minister of Dali Temple, and you just hit me in front of the palace gate. What's more, I don't Provoke you."

Shen Mingzhu said she felt wronged.

Zhou Qing

ha?
