At that time, the other young ladies all snorted with disdain. Making tea was usually what the servants did. They couldn’t believe that someone would actually be proud of being good at making tea.

Empress Dowager Xiao was very satisfied.

Later, Empress Dowager Xiao said to Emperor Yong Le, “I think Qing Zhen is a good girl. Making tea requires one to have a calm personality. She can assist you in the governing of this dynasty. No matter if it’s a fortune or a misfortune, she can go through thick and thin with you. This is very good and rare.”

Emperor Yong Le recalled what Empress Jingxian said and couldn’t help but look at Empress Xiande.

Empress Xiande was gently blowing at the petals floating on the teacup.

Ever since Empress Xiande entered the palace, all these years, just as Empress Dowager Xiao said, she had indeed exuded qualities befitting an empress. She never asked much or caused trouble. She just sat there quietly, as if no matter how time passed, she would remain consistent.

Empress Xiande sensed Emperor Yong Let s gaze and smiled. “Your Majesty, let’s not be worried about anything today. Let’s walk away from all these troubling matters and just drink tea, play chess, and talk, ok?”

“Ok.” Emperor Yong Le nodded.

He replied readily, and there was a faint smile on his usually cold face, which actually surprised Empress Xiande. She quickly stood up as if she was afraid that Emperor Yong Le would go back on his word and said, “Then I’ll go and get the box of jade chess pieces that Jingxing sent you. We’ve only used it once. What a waste of good chess pieces.”

Emperor Yong Le chuckled. “Just get Nanny Tao to go and get it.”

“She doesn’t know where it is.” Empress Xiande said, “I hid it well. Your Majesty, wait for me here.” She jogged to the back.

Empress Xiande had always been calm and gentle, and it was rare for her to be like a playful young girl. Emperor Yong Le looked at her with a sad gaze.

He suddenly frowned and coughed violently. He grabbed a handkerchief and covered his mouth.

He held the handkerchief in his palm, a corner of which was stained with blood.

It was scarlet and very eye-catching.

He paused for a moment and put the handkerchief into his sleeve. He looked at Empress Xiande, who was running out with the chess box, and smiled.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The following days were unusually peaceful.

It was as if nothing bad had ever happened. It was as peace had always been the norm.

Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao had been in Long Ye for the past few days. During the day, they would walk around or play the Guqin and write in the mansion. Occasionally, when Xie Jingxing was in the mood, he would spar with Gao Yang, and Shen Miao would go with Luo Tan to shop. At night, she would discuss the military defense maps with Xie Jingxing. One of them was good at attacking and the other was good at defending. They complemented each other and were very compatible..
