Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Your Highness, I also have no good solution to this matter. Her Highness is the most capable woman I have ever seen in all these years. Her intellect surpasses even that of many in the court..."

Cheng Qixia didn't wait for the strategist to finish speaking before leaving. Instead, she went to a teahouse and leisurely enjoyed her tea.

The people around them were naturally officials from the lawn. According to Cheng Qixia's inquiries, these officials seemed to enjoy coming to this teahouse for tea, which was actually a good thing for Cheng Qixia.

Sitting in such a place, Cheng Qixia could hear what was happening in the court. More importantly, these people wouldn't even notice Cheng Qixia's presence, because there was a screen there, which could effectively conceal their faces.

"What do you think we should do next to deal with the princess? This princess is really too much. And then there's Shangguan Mufeng. Shangguan Mufeng has always been the princess's lackey, doing his best to serve her. It's really getting to me."

"It's not that I think the same way as you. I never imagined that Shangguan Mufeng would be so good at currying favor. More importantly, Her Highness the Princess values ​​Shangguan Mufeng very much."

They had been discussing how to deal with both Qin Yu and Shangguan Mufeng.

Shangguan Mufeng couldn't help but sneeze at this moment. He sensed that someone was talking badly about him, but he remained calm because he felt that since someone was talking badly about him, he should pay close attention during this period.

Cheng Qixia was leisurely drinking tea when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from next door.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that one of the officials had suddenly become extremely vicious, which directly frightened the other officials.

This official seems to be a third-rank official, holding a certain position in the court and knowing a relatively large number of people. It seems that they all dislike Shangguan Mufeng.

Cheng Qixia found things getting more and more interesting. She then sat there enjoying tea, surrounded by the aroma of cologne. She calmly ate desserts and drank tea. When the strategist saw Cheng Qixia's appearance, he couldn't help but ask her something.

"Your Highness, can you glean anything from what they're saying? For some reason, I feel that what they're saying is just idle chatter, completely useless."

"Everything takes time. If you're too hasty, it will only backfire, you know? Don't be too impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Cheng Qixia was undoubtedly trying to appease the strategist in front of him, who simply stayed quietly to the side. Cheng Qixia then made a gesture, indicating that the strategist should sit opposite him and enjoy tea with him.

Cheng Qixia then sat down and heard the people opposite her starting to discuss matters of the court again. They were talking about their opposing sides and how they wanted to curry favor with Prime Minister Xu. However, Prime Minister Xu seemed to be in a precarious situation recently because the emperor had a great deal of resentment towards him.

"If it weren't for the fact that Prime Minister Xu is the Emperor's uncle, I think he would have already lost his head by now. Prime Minister Xu is just testing the Emperor's patience here, isn't he?"

It seems that this is indeed the case. None of them had expected that Prime Minister Xu would have offended the emperor at this time, and they were all worried for him.

"What do you think we should do next? Should we try to curry favor with Shangguan Mufeng? But I have absolutely no desire to do so. His arrogant attitude is really disgusting to me."

At this moment, Cheng Qixia finished eating the pastries, wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, stood up, paid the bill, and left with her strategist.

After listening for a long time, Cheng Qixia still couldn't figure it out. The only thing she was certain of was that they all had a lot of opinions about Shangguan Mufeng at this moment. The fact that they couldn't come up with a solution after all this time was really frustrating for Cheng Qixia.

Alright, alright, let's hurry back to the Prince's mansion.

After all, it's freezing cold right now. If we stay outside for too long, we might catch a cold, which wouldn't be good.

At this moment, Cheng Qixia saw a beggar lying on the ground. He felt a little sorry for him, since these were innocent civilians. He then asked someone nearby to help the beggar up and fetch a doctor. He also arranged accommodation for him.

He thought about it carefully and realized that it was ultimately only these ordinary people who suffered.

A scholar happened to pass by and saw the scene before him. He couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with disappointment. This scene was clearly seen by Cheng Qixia.

Cheng Qixia walked directly up to the scholar. "I wonder why you're sighing here all of a sudden, young master."

At this moment, the scholars must have all looked Cheng Qixia up and down. Cheng Qixia was dressed so elegantly, she must be quite wealthy.

He certainly wouldn't want to say more than a few words to Cheng Qixia, but Cheng Qixia took the initiative to start a conversation with the scholar.

More importantly, Cheng Qixia directly mentioned matters concerning the imperial court and ordinary people. Unexpectedly, the scholar became interested at this moment and started chatting with Cheng Qixia.

From his words, Cheng Qixia could sense his disappointment with the imperial court.
