The scheming empress starts by conquering men

"Sixth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince is here. He heard that Your Highness would not be attending the palace banquet today, so he came specially to welcome the spring with Your Highness."

Shaodian Sishui paused, frowned slightly, and glanced at her fourth and seventh sisters in her small kitchen.

Well, I’m afraid I can’t avoid this palace banquet today.

But in order to eat her fill before entering the palace, Shaodian Sishui quickened her movements but said.

"Oh? Thirteenth brother is here too. He is in for a treat. Let him in."

Shaoying went out to invite him, and soon brought Shaodian Jiaping with him.

Shao Dian Jiaping looked at the scene in front of him in slight surprise and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Fourth sister? Sixth sister? Seventh sister? Are you...cooking?"

She thought Shaoying was brought here for some purpose, but she didn't expect that they would actually cook here by themselves.

Oh my God, the woman is far away from the kitchen, but her sisters are cooking here?

"Thirteenth brother is here, come on, let's cook the Spring Festival dinner together." Shaodian Sishui said casually.

Shaoying also rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "Your Highness, Shaoying is here to help you too."

"Okay, wash and cut the vegetables and cook them later."

Shaodian Sishui did not stop it, because there is strength in numbers.

For the New Year’s Eve dinner to taste good, you have to prepare it yourself.

"Sixth sister, then then then... Jiaping will come and help you too."

Everyone was taking action, so it would be a bit unreasonable for her not to do anything.

What's more, she is a man now, so it is her responsibility to cook, and her cooking skills are pretty good.

When they were almost done, Shaodian Sishui looked at Shaoying and said, "Go, ask Jiayi to call Shao Jincong to come over for the Spring Festival dinner."

"Well, Shaoying will go right away."

Shaoying took the order and left, but Zhong Moyao paused and raised his lips slightly.

Ever since he cleared up the misunderstanding with His Highness in the afternoon, he was no longer willing to target Shao Jincong, because as long as he was there, Shao Jincong would never be a threat.

The small kitchen of Su Shui Pavilion was bustling with activity, with people talking and laughing, and the servants were helping in fear and trepidation.

In contrast, the East Warm Pavilion where Shao Jincong was located was in stark contrast, being cold and deserted.

Shao Jincong wanted to leave the yard, but the security outside was tight and he was not allowed to leave.

In the morning, Shao Jincong used the excuse that His Highness had not woken up yet and waited.

At noon, he said that His Highness was having a meal and he had no time, but he endured it.

In the afternoon, he said that His Highness was busy with official duties and had no time. Okay, he endured it.

But after nightfall, they said that His Highness was going to enter the palace to attend the Spring Festival Banquet, and that you were only a servant of the husband, not the king, and therefore could not attend the banquet.

Shao Jincong, who was already sad, suddenly became angry.

"I want to see His Highness, please get out of my way!"

"Mr. Shao, please don't embarrass me."

As soon as these words fell, Jia Yi came.

"Mr. Shao, your Highness invites you to the Sushui Pavilion for the Spring Festival dinner."

Shao Jincong's eyes lit up and his face was full of surprise.

"See? I knew that His Highness would remember me." He looked at the guards standing by and said arrogantly, "Get out of the way!"

After the guards made way, he happily headed towards the Su Shui Pavilion.

After he left, the two guards who were guarding the East Warm Pavilion quickly hid in the night and left here, one entered the palace and the other went to the Second Princess's Mansion.

Shao Jincong had no idea that among the guards protecting him there were people from three parties: Shaodian Haolan, Shao Bohou, and the Empress.

After Shao Jincong was brought to the small kitchen of Su Shui Pavilion, he was a little surprised why he was brought here. The moment he entered the kitchen, Shao Jincong was shocked.

Looking at the group of people in the room, he was stunned.

Shaodian Sishui was making dumplings and looked at him with a smile.

"coming?"

She introduced everyone to Shao Jincong one by one, and first looked at Shaodian Sheyu and signaled with her eyes.

"This is the fourth sister."

Shao Jincong immediately bowed; "Fourth sister, how are you."

Shaodian Sishui looked at Shaodian Ziqing next to him.

"Seventh sister, you know me."

"Seventh sister is well."

"That's the Thirteenth Brother."

"Thirteenth brother, all is well."

Finally, Shao Jincong looked at Zhong Moyao.

"My servant greets Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Moyao hummed; "Get up."

Shao Jincong bowed to everyone one by one, very politely.

Shaodian Sishui said, "Come here, I will teach you how to make dumplings."

When dumplings were introduced to the north, people in the north knew about dumplings, which was a great achievement.

Zhong Moyao was making dumplings, and when he heard what the prince said, he automatically made way, and tried to tell himself in his heart, Ayao, the prince can't be yours alone, so stop being jealous.

In the afternoon, you misunderstood His Highness without knowing the limits and were even jealous. His Highness has been explaining things to you the whole time.

But have you forgotten your identity?

In the future, His Highness will surely ascend to the throne of king. By then, there will be three thousand handsome men in the three palaces and six courtyards. How can His Highness only favor him?

If His Highness really only loves him, he will certainly be coerced into protesting by the noble families, and then he will become a demon servant who brings disaster to the country.

No, he will become a king in the future, so he must learn to get used to things, learn to be magnanimous, and learn to be tolerant.

Even if it's not for himself, as long as he can make His Highness well, he will be satisfied.

Zhong Moyao figured it out, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.

Shaodian Sishui had been observing Zhong Moyao's expression. Seeing that he was not jealous and looked natural, she nodded affirmatively.

Fortunately, Zhong Moyao did not get jealous for no reason again.

If he continues to be jealous as before, then the position of future king and queen will not be suitable for him.

There is no way she would hesitate because of a man. If she reaches that position in the future, she will naturally have a large harem.

What she wants is not the love affairs in the harem, but the kingdom and power.

If there is no peace in the harem, how can she get everything she wants without any worries?

The position of future king and queen will surely be occupied by the most capable.

Starting today, she will set rules for Zhong Moyao.

Shao Jincong didn’t know what Shaodian Sishui was thinking. He thought the prince still loved him, so he wanted to teach him how to make dumplings himself.

He glanced at Zhong Moyao with a slightly provocative look, feeling very proud.

His expression naturally did not escape Shaodian Sishui's eyes.

She sighed in her heart, they are all men, why make things difficult for men.

For the sake of peace in the harem and for her to live without worries in the previous dynasty, Shaodian Sishui felt it necessary to give Shao Jincong a warning.

"Your Highness, how do you wrap this?"

Shao Jincong washed his hands and came to her side, standing close to her, looking at her with admiration and love.

Shaodian Sishui picked up the dough and put some stuffing in it.

"Learn with me."

"Yeah." Shao Jincong hummed lightly and moved a little closer.

He learned very quickly and was better than Shaodian Si Shuibao in making dumplings, as if he was born to be in the kitchen.

Shaodian Sishui lowered his head with a smile in his eyes.

"Not bad, you learn quickly."

"Your Highness is too kind. Your Highness taught me well."

Shaodian Sishui kept smiling as she continued to make dumplings with him, occasionally whispering to each other and listening to Shao Jincong's laughter.

Shaodian Sheyu, Shaodian Ziqing and Shaodian Jiaping watched her interacting with Shao Jincong from time to time, and then looked at Zhong Moyao who was making dumplings alone beside them.

I wondered why Mr. Zhong wasn't jealous at all?

A voice rose in the hearts of the three people at the same time.

The sixth sister has been well trained. After she returns, I will ask her servants to come to the house more often to learn from the sixth sister-in-law.

My sister is really amazing. How could Zhong Moyao not be angry?

Sixth sister is really good. There are countless handsome men in the harem, but she can still treat them all equally. Zhong Junshi is not even jealous now. This is completely different from when Sixth sister just left Beijing to get married.

Only Shao Ying didn't take Shao Jincong seriously at all, and even Zhong Moyao was not in his eyes.

In his opinion, His Highness treats them equally only because he does not love them.

If you truly love someone, how can you treat him/her equally?
