The Empress looked a little old with white hair on her temples. She looked serious and dignified, so Shi Sheng had to describe her.
She looked exactly like a rigid teacher.
Attending court was a boring thing. Shi Sheng was absent-minded the whole time. When the Empress called her name, she finally came back to her senses.
"I'm not feeling well these days, so I shouldn't work too hard," Shi Sheng answered seriously, but her tone was perfunctory.
The Empress was speechless. Her Prime Minister had been absent-minded since just now, and now she was using such an excuse to brush her off.
What was the Prime Minister trying to do?
Was she rebelling?
Although the Empress knew she was being perfunctory, she still had to follow her words. "My dear minister, you're working hard for the country. Don't tire yourself out. Rest well."
Shi Sheng smiled insincerely. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"You don't have anyone at home. Why don't I give you a few beauties? They can take care of you if you're not feeling well."
Shi Sheng was speechless. Taking care of me is a lie, but monitoring me?
This was not the first time the Empress wanted to give the Host people. In the past, the Host always found all kinds of excuses to refuse. Shi Sheng rolled her eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Empress looked at Shi Sheng as if she was looking at an alien.
Could it be that her Prime Minister had been replaced by someone else?
She was absent-minded during court, refused to do things, and now even accepted people to send her off …
No, she had to investigate carefully.
The others also had strange expressions. They started to make plans in their minds.
"Since the Prime Minister is not feeling well, Prince Ning will take care of it."
Jiang Zhi frowned. The Empress was talking about the Heaven's Sacrifice that would be held soon. The purpose was to pray for the autumn harvest and provide the people with enough food and clothing.
Of course, as a modern person, she did not believe in such things.
In ancient times, grain production was low and there were too few varieties. Ordinary people did not have land. When winter came, people would starve to death by the dozen.
Jiang Zhi wanted to explain to these people what scientific farming was, but she had just gained the Empress' trust. She quickly suppressed this idea.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I won't let you down."
The rest of the content was nothing more than some trivial matters, causing Shi Sheng to feel drowsy listening to it.
So f * cking boring!
In the future, it would be better to pretend to be sick.
After the court session, Shi Sheng walked out slowly. Jiang Zhi deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Shi Sheng.
"Prime Minister, may I invite you for a chat?"
Shi Sheng did not even pause as he rejected her bluntly, "No."
Jiang Zhi's eyes darkened. "Prime Minister, it's about Qingyun."
She deliberately emphasized the words' Qingyun '.
Shi Sheng tilted his head and the corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. "That's your concubine. What does it have to do with me?"
"A few days ago, Qingyun went to your residence …"
"Really? Why didn't I know about it?" Shi Sheng began to lie through his teeth.
Jiang Zhi: "…"
Jiang Zhi's expression changed rapidly. Finally, she pulled a long face and said, "Jun Liyou, Qingyun is now this prince's secondary concubine. As the prime minister, you should know how to avoid arousing suspicion. Don't bother Qingyun in the future."
Shi Sheng paused and turned to face Jiang Zhi. He raised his voice slightly. "Why don't you say that he's the one who's bothering me?"
"Why would Qingyun bother you?" Jiang Zhi immediately retorted. "He doesn't like you at all. A forcibly picked melon won't be sweet. If the prime minister really likes him, you should consider his reputation."
Shi Sheng looked at Jiang Zhi without saying a word.
Those eyes were as dark as ink, calm and unruffled. When she looked into Jiang Zhi's eyes, she felt as if she had been stripped naked in front of her.
She looked at the woman in front of her and moved her lips. "How did you know that I like Duan Qingyun?"
The original host had never said that she liked Duan Qingyun. Everything she did was based on her own responsibility.
Because the original host felt that it was her fault for delaying Duan Qingyun for so many years, she should be responsible for him.
That was all.
Jiang Zhi was rendered speechless by the question.
She carefully thought about it and realized that she really had never said that she liked Duan Qingyun.
But what she did before, if that wasn't love, then what was it?
By the time Jiang Zhi came back to her senses, Shi Sheng was long gone.
Jiang Zhi muttered in a low voice, "If you like him, then you like him. What's there to hide? The ancients are so pretentious."
She came from an open-minded era and had a sense of superiority in her bones. That was why she looked down on Shi Sheng's cover-up.
Yes, in Jiang Zhi's eyes, Shi Sheng was just covering up.
… …
When they returned to the residence, the people the empress had bestowed upon them had already arrived.
Dai Yue and Ying Yue stood in front of a group of gorgeously dressed men, their expressions exactly the same.
Had Her Excellency been provoked?
She even dared to accept the empress's bestowment.
"Her Majesty wants me to have no rest for seven days a week." Shi Sheng saw the seven people standing in a row from afar.
Very strange comments popped up in Shi Sheng's mind.
Seven dwarves and Snow White?
What the hell …
"Your Excellency, you're back." Dai Yue and Ying Yue went to greet him.
The remaining seven dwarves all bowed in greeting. "Greetings, Your Excellency."
Shi Sheng trembled all over. To be honest, he was a little unaccustomed to suddenly seeing a group of delicate and weak men.
Of course, he didn't dislike it. Every era had its own rules.
The empress had really put in a lot of effort. Seven men, each with their own merits.
Some were seductive, some were cute, some were steady …
It really was as the saying went, 'You can choose from them.'
Who would've thought that this day would come.
Their looks were all above average. Any one of them, placed in a normal family, would be spoiled to the heavens.
"That …" Shi Sheng didn't go over. He just pointed at them casually. "You can arrange for them to do whatever you want."
The February Duo: "…" What do you mean by 'whatever they want'?
Ying Yue was more lively than Dai Yue, so she asked shamelessly.
Shi Sheng waved his hand. "Just don't let me see them."
Ying Yue: "…" Then why did you bring them back!
Wasn't this unnecessary?
Shi Sheng and the seven dwarfs were a little far away, so they didn't hear what she said.
When they saw Shi Sheng leave with Dai Yue, the seven dwarfs became anxious. "Miss Ying Yue, why did the prime minister leave? Who will serve the prime minister tonight?"
Serve her?
Dream on. Don't say that their mistress was chaste.
Just because they were given to her by the empress, she wouldn't let them serve her.
Of course, Ying Yue couldn't say this. In any case, these people were given to her by the empress.
"Mistress hasn't been feeling well recently and shouldn't work too hard. Gentlemen, please follow me."
"We can take care of the prime minister," one of the gentlemen said unwillingly.
"Her Majesty sent us here to take care of the prime minister. This is our duty. Miss Ying Yue, please tell the prime minister …"
Ying Yue's face darkened. She didn't understand why her mistress had brought these people back.
"Mistress needs to rest. Gentlemen, you don't have to say anything. When she wants to see you, she will summon you."
