"You can get up now." Concubine Shu said calmly, "I don't mean to blame you, but Wang Yuxi is a cunning man. He has been in the palace for so many years and has reached his current position. He is definitely not a pushover. I am afraid that you argued with him today. If he takes it to heart, he will cause trouble for you one day."

"I'm not afraid." Ying'er pouted.

The few words from Concubine Shu had already made her heart in a state of panic, but she still managed to speak: "No matter how powerful he is, he can never be more powerful than you, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty is here, I am not afraid."

Concubine Shu smiled with relief: "You, you keep kneeling there, and you don't mind the pain in your knees."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will make tea for Your Majesty right away." Ying'er quickly stood up and bowed to Your Majesty.

She had just opened the door to her bedroom and had just stepped out when she almost bumped into Xiao Shunzi.

"Oh my God, what is eunuch Xiao Shunzi doing here? He's really scared me to death." After saying this, Yu'er patted her pounding heart.

next second.

As if she suddenly thought of something, she pointed a finger at her nose and walked towards Xiao Shunzi step by step: "Little Shunzi, you are not squatting here against the wall, eavesdropping on my conversation with Concubine Shu, are you?"

Xiao Shunzi shook his head speechlessly: "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!" The expression on Yu'er's face was extremely serious.

Xiao Shunzi:......

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have something to report to the Imperial Concubine." Xiao Shunzi knelt down and saluted.

Yu'er stopped joking with him and hurriedly turned aside.

"Good luck to Her Majesty Shu. I pay my respects to Her Majesty Shu." Xiao Shunzi knelt on his knees.

"What happened?" Concubine Shu took a sip of tea.

"Your Highness, when I returned to my house yesterday, people from the Prime Minister's Mansion sent me a box of gold and silver. They wanted me to beautify Miss Meng in front of you during the selection. I dare not deceive Your Highness, Your Highness. Please punish me." After saying this, Xiao Shunzi knelt down and kowtowed.

"Miss Meng? Is she Meng Wanying from Prime Minister Meng's residence?" Concubine Shu asked in confusion.

"It's Miss Meng." Xiao Shunzi responded.

Concubine Shu's brows gradually tightened.

Mrs. Meng really spared no effort to find a good family for her daughter.

She had even visited him in person before.

She wanted to marry Meng Wanying to her second brother.

Now he wants to enter the palace to accompany the emperor.

This Mrs. Meng is really in love.

Surprisingly, both things were blamed on her alone.

"A box of gold and silver? Prime Minister Meng's salary is not high, how could he really have so much property?" Concubine Shu shook her head in confusion, picked up the tea in the bowl, and took another sip: "This tea is made from dewdrops collected from lotus leaves. This tea exudes a faint lotus fragrance."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that he trembled all over. He kowtowed to Concubine Shu and said, "Your Majesty, I will return all the things to Prime Minister Meng when I go back today, and punish those servants who took the things carelessly at home."

"I just praised the tea today for being delicious. Why are you so flustered?" Concubine Shu put the teacup on the table and said, "Since you dare to tell me this, I know you have no other intentions."

Xiao Shunzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Thank you, Madam Shufei, for your understanding."

"Now that the imperial examination is approaching, the emperor is strictly investigating the issue of buying official positions and accepting bribes..."
