"Miss Qianqian, come with me."
Xiaoru stepped forward and took Qianqian's hand affectionately, leading her out.
Qian Qian moved her steps lightly, her waist was graceful, and after taking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back at Shen Ning. Shen Ning happened to be watching her, and gave her a gentle smile. Qian Qian blushed and lowered her eyes. Followed behind Xiaoru.
Shen Ning waited until Qianqian's figure disappeared into the night outside the door, then slowly looked back, picked up a cup of tea and brought it to her lips, sipping slowly, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Xiaosi, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. There are no outsiders here now." She spoke slowly.
Xiaosi had already been scratching his head and scratching his head, and said impatiently: "Empress, I don't understand, why do you want to keep Qianqian in Guanju Palace?"
Shen Ning raised her eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "If you don't want to keep her here, let her go back to Shoukang Palace?"
"Why not? The Queen Mother can say that she doesn't like to eat Qianqian's cooking, and the Queen Mother cannot force him to be placed in Guanju Palace."
"But I think Qianqian's cooking is delicious." Shen Ning said with a smile.
Xiao Si was so anxious that he was sweating: "Empress, I don't believe you can't see that this Qianqian is so beautiful, she is a stunner. I am worried that the emperor will see it and maybe... will..."
He pursed his lips twice and did not dare to speak further.
"What's going on! Xiaosi, what are you chewing on my tongue behind my back? I've only been away for a while, and you've spoken ill of me in front of the queen. Don't you want your head?"
Suddenly, Mo Chuan's voice rang outside the door, and as the words fell, his tall and tall bamboo-like figure appeared in front of him.
Xiaosi was so frightened that he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"I don't dare. Even if I have a hundred and twenty courages, I will definitely speak ill of you, Your Majesty. Queen, do you want to say something fair for me?"
Shen Ning stood up: "Mo Chuan, didn't you want to stay in the imperial study room to read? Why did you come back? Don't blame Xiaosi, if he would say bad things about you, sows would climb trees."
Xiaosi was originally frightened, but after hearing Shen Ning's words, she almost burst into joy. She was busy holding it back and did not dare to raise her head.
Mo Chuan took Shen Ning's hand and looked at the unused dishes on the table: "I was worried that you wouldn't eat well, but I didn't expect that this new cook not only has good skills, but also has good eyesight. He has prepared such a sumptuous table of dishes, how about it, are you satisfied with his cooking?"
Shen Ning smiled and said: "The skills of the cook sent by the Queen Mother are indeed extraordinary, and all the dishes she cooked are to my liking. I have agreed to let her stay and let Xiaoru help her arrange a place to live."
Mo Chuan nodded and glanced at Xiao Si: "What were you talking to the Queen about when I wasn't here? I seem to have heard you mention me. What are you worried about what I might see?"
The clothes on Xiao Si's back were soaked with sweat. He kowtowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this slave just talked nonsense. I really didn't say anything!"
Mo Chuan's face darkened: "Xiaosi, when did you learn to lie to me?"
Xiaosi said anxiously: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
"Then tell the truth!" Mo Chuan shouted in a deep voice.
Xiaosi had no choice but to whisper: "I just told the Queen..."
