From the moment we first met, it was his plan

Chapter 196 The Emperor Is Mine

Seeing Shi Chu looking back at her like this, the surprise in Concubine Lan's eyes was fleeting, and then she withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at Shi Chu.

The little farce ended like this, seeing another opportunity to belittle Shichu, Mr. Shen would not let it go.

"Shi Gui is really confident. Do you feel that your cooking skills are better than those of the cooks in the imperial dining room? She actually made a fool of the emperor on such an occasion."

If Shi Chu was really confident and admitted that he was better at cooking than the cook, even if he defaulted to being worse than the cook, it would be an admission in disguise that he was only worthy of comparison with the servants.

Hearing that Shen Guiren dug another hole for himself, Shi Chu just smiled lightly. "Did Mr. Shen feel that the emperor's concubines can only be compared with cooks?"

This time, Shi Chu brought the entire harem into the pit.

Now that Concubine Lan Gui came back, Shi Chu brought the entire harem into Shen Guiren's pit at this time, and it was obvious that Shen Guiren was the one who cheated.

Shen Guiren's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at Shi Chu, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Shi Chu looked at Shen Guiren indifferently, shrugged slightly, and did not answer Shen Guiren's words.

Shen Guiren was holding his breath, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only vent his hatred to Shi Chu by rolling his eyes.

Shen Guiren didn't like Shi Chu, and Shi Chu couldn't understand Shen Guiren either.

What’s weird is that after so much effort was put into making Shen Gui so popular, she’s not the vicious female supporting character in the bonus mission.

The dinner was almost over, An Desheng stood beside Xia Jinzhi, looked at the concubines below, took out Xia Jinzhi's imperial edict, and announced. "The slave is ordered by the emperor to announce the list of the year-end seals at this auspicious time!"

The concubines had known for a long time that the announcement would be made in these few days, but it was the first time that it was announced at a New Year's banquet like this.

However, after taking a look at Concubine Lan Gui who was beside Xia Jinzhi, everyone had their minds at ease.

As soon as Concubine Lan came back, she sealed off the harem, probably to make Concubine Lan laugh.

While being grateful for the enthusiasm of the Polish concubine, the concubines also became more and more jealous of Concubine Lan.

Although Concubine Lan is the eldest concubine, she is also the most favored.

This harem has been in the palace for five or six years, and who can go beyond Concubine Lan Gui?
Looking at the expectant eyes of the concubines below, An Desheng coughed lightly, looked at the imperial decree in his hand, and read out.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that this year's Xixia harvest will be bumper, and at the end of the year it is also time to confine the harem. Now, Eunuch An will read out the Holy Majesty's will!"

"Li Cairen was promoted to Li Liangyi!

·······
Concubine Shi Gui was promoted to Shi Chongyi!
········“

Shi Chu didn't care much about An Desheng's declaration, because she had already been promoted twice within a few days, and the seal at the end of the year should have nothing to do with her.

However, Shi Chu never expected that his own name was actually on the sealed list.

Seeing Shi Chu's dazed eyes, Xia Jinzhi silently withdrew his gaze without any disturbance.

Shi Chu must have been an accident, because Xia Jinzhi asked An Desheng to add her name temporarily.

Shen Guiren is just a small nobleman, yet he dares to make trouble with concubines of the same level, even Shi Chu who is higher than himself. The more Shen Guiren is like this, the more Xia Jinzhi wants Shen Guiren to watch Shichu for another promotion.

Shi Chu couldn't figure out the emperor's evil intentions, it was just an accident.

When Shen Guiren at the side heard that Shi Chu was promoted again, the jealousy in his eyes was far greater than the surprise.
