Chapter 381: I am not allowed to be unbridled, but I have been unbridled many times
"vomit!"
The Queen Mother understood and vomited.
Shen Nanzhi is so funny. What a pampered nobleman who is out of touch with the world. She's vomiting already?
Since she doesn't eat it, it's just a good deal for me. Oh, and there are two foodies in the space. The dishes on this table are not usually available for them to eat.
In the end, there were a few plates missing, mainly those containing soup, so they just served the whole pot.
After Shen Nanzhi had eaten and drunk her fill, the Queen Mother finally came to her senses. Shen Nanzhi laughed and said, "Please ask the imperial physician to come, or I'll think the Queen Mother is pregnant."
The Queen Mother was shaking with anger: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? I am just angry at you. What are you doing? You are really trying to make life difficult for me!"
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "What the Queen Mother said is very serious. I didn't do that. You are wrongly accusing me. The Queen Mother is naturally clear about who is making life difficult for whom.
It's so boring in this palace. With me by your side, the Queen Mother will never be lonely."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was speechless. She really did it on purpose. "Okay, you and the Regent team up to bully me!"
"No, it's none of the Regent's business. He was worried about the Queen Mother. It was me who insisted on coming to serve her, and the Regent couldn't stop me.
Queen Mother, you are not too old, but you are living a peaceful life, but you insist on making trouble. I just want to accompany you."
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Shen Nanzhi sneered: "Why? If you tell me to get out, I'll get out. I'm so embarrassed. Otherwise, show me how to get out. What does this action mean?"
I will come to pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow. I will prepare breakfast myself, so please enjoy it."
Shen Nanzhi wiped his mouth, hummed a song and walked away.
When she walked out of the door, she heard the empress dowager smashing plates angrily and scolding her for being disrespectful to elders, disobedient and presumptuous!
Shen Nanzhi recalled the classic line, "Even if you don't allow me to be unbridled, I have already done so many times!"
It's quite satisfying. Why don't I go back and talk to her about it and make her mad to death?
In the end, Shen Nanzhi was kind-hearted and didn't let him get angry to the point of causing harm. Well, who can blame her for being kind-hearted?
Without having to serve her, Shen Nanzhi just strolled around. There were no concubines in the harem for the time being, but there were quite a few concubines. The late emperor had just passed away for two years, and the concubines had not moved out yet. At least the harem had some vitality.
But Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that the concubines were actually quite young. The oldest was only in her early thirties. They were well maintained and looked to be in their twenties, very fresh and young.
It's a pity that I have to suffer in this harem for my whole life, with no freedom, no laughter, and no hope. It's really miserable just thinking about it.
The concubines were very polite to Shen Nanzhi. They had no support from their natal families and were not empress dowagers, so they did not dare to be rude to the future regent princess.
After a few interactions, I found that she had a very good personality, was sweet and loved to laugh, had a lot of ideas, and talked about a lot of things happening outside. The boring days became less boring because of her.
Shen Nanzhi has taken over the imperial kitchen. The next step is to take over the concubines. They are all literate and have their own talents. It would be a waste to leave them all in the deep palace.
It was just the right time to set up a business department, let them design new clothes, research new fabrics, and Shen Nanzhi would sell them. The money would be split 30% and 70% among them, which would also be a source of income.
Of course, they get 30% and the Imperial City Department gets 70%, which is already very good for them.
Shen Nanzhi had been in the palace for half a month without realizing it. She had done a lot of work while in the palace. Official business from the Imperial City Bureau would be sent in every day, and she would review it before sending it out.
It feels like you can know everything about the world without leaving your home.
Thinking that she hadn't served the Empress Dowager for many days, Shen Nanzhi changed into the dress newly designed by Concubine Wu. It was a peach pink dress with wide sleeves and green leaves embroidered on the hem. Her hairpin was also a peach blossom hairpin. She walked leisurely to the Cining Palace like a walking peach tree fairy.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Concubine Wu and several other concubines kneeling in the middle of the yard, each of them looking embarrassed and helpless.
"What's the fuss about?"
Shen Nanzhi's face turned cold, but her smile became even gentler. The old witch, the Queen Mother, had not given up yet.
It looked like a punishment for the concubines, but in fact it was directed at herself. These concubines actually dared to approach and make friends with the people the Queen Mother hated. Wasn't this ignoring the Queen Mother?
The Queen Mother sat under the eaves, shielding herself from the sun, drinking tea elegantly, and said, "Since the late Emperor passed away, these little rascals have become restless, and are arrogant and restless. I am here to teach them some manners.
I don't have time to accompany you today, Miss Shen, please go back."
Shen Nanzhi did not leave. She lifted her skirt and sat on the table next to the empress dowager. She was suddenly taller than the empress dowager and her feet were almost touching her face.
The Queen Mother's face immediately turned green, and she was about to stand up: "Shen Nanzhi, you've gone too far. You dare to disrespect me, how outrageous! You..."
Shen Nanzhi raised her hand and pressed the Queen Mother's shoulder, "Queen Mother, please change the words. I think I have been doing my duty. I really haven't been presumptuous. I respect you very much.
But the Queen Mother doesn't seem to appreciate it. Do you know what I look like when I become unbridled? Do you know how much blood is stained on my hands?
Do you know how many lives will be lost if I start to act recklessly?
No, you don’t know, that’s why you are so brazen in making trouble with me.”
Queen Mother: "..."
Shen Nanzhi was so scary like this, as if the devil had descended and was going to eat people next.
She spoke in a very low voice, and although she was sitting on the table, which looked indecent, she still spoke to the Queen Mother with a smile, so the servants did not come to rescue the Queen Mother in time.
But the Queen Mother knew how terrifying she was. The hand on her shoulder was extremely strong. If she dared to move, her bones would be crushed.
"Queen Mother, if you have anything to say, come to me. I'm in a good mood and want to play with you, but you're taking your anger out on others. This is breaking the rules of the game, and you'll be punished!"
"What do you want?"
"How is it? This is a difficult problem. Even though you are just a decoration, this decoration must be bright and beautiful, and people cannot see that it is not good.
So, I can only take action on the things that you care about, your fresh little eunuch, or the sturdy captain of the guard? Or your mother's family, the Cheng family?"
The Queen Mother's pupils shrank unconsciously, and a chill rushed from her tailbone to her forehead. How did she know?
Does the Regent really dote on her so much?
Shen Nanzhi patted the Queen Mother on the shoulder and said loudly, "Everyone, please stand up. The Queen Mother was just joking with the concubines.
The late emperor has passed away, and you old people are the only ones left to keep the Empress Dowager company and entertain her. How could the Empress Dowager bear to mistreat you?
Queen Mother, do you think what I said is right?"
"Yes, everyone stand up."
Concubine Wu was half-believing and half-doubting. She stood up and was full of gratitude to Shen Nanzhi. She challenged the Queen Mother for her group of concubines who were ignored by everyone. Miss Shen was really kind and good.
Shen Nanzhi straightened her dress and got down from the table gracefully. If you didn't know, you would have thought that the table was someone's kang.
"Let's not disturb the Queen Mother's rest. Let's all take our leave."
"Chen and concubine retire."
The Queen Mother waved her hands, her heart still in a state of panic, her face as pale as paper. How could she have the mood to worry about them?
