Chapter 381 Shameless

"His Jiawang Mansion looks like a palace, but in fact he is not there all year round, so it is no different from an empty house. I will send two mature mothers to look after it and take care of it, so that you won't be uncomfortable living there because of the lack of things."

"I heard Jia'er say yesterday that you like spicy food, and your taste is a bit strong. It just so happens that two chefs who are very good at Sichuan cuisine have come to the imperial kitchen recently. I will ask them to cook a meal later, and you can have a meal with me."

"When you are here, don't be restrained, just be casual..."

The Queen Mother's face was full of kindness and smiles as she chattered on, revealing her doting on Qin Jiashu and her love for her.

Kang's originally uneasy and restless heart suddenly settled down. She felt less restrained and more casual and comfortable, and started chatting about family matters with the empress dowager.

They had lunch in the Empress Dowager's palace and talked until the sun was setting. Then Qin Jiashu arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Greetings to my mother." Qin Jiashu bowed properly.

"You're here so early?" The Queen Mother squinted her eyes.

"I'm thinking about my mother, so I came to visit her earlier." Qin Jiashu replied with a smile.

"I wonder if he is thinking about me or is worried about his wife, so he came to pick her up so early?" The Queen Mother said jokingly, "Don't worry, she won't be wronged in my presence, will she?"

Qin Jiashu chuckled and did not refute.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, this was naturally a tacit agreement. She did not tease them any more and only smiled and said, "Come on, I will not disturb you two. No matter how much you say you want to be free and easy, you will not feel comfortable in the palace after all. You should go back early. I will not keep you for dinner."

"But the imperial kitchen has already prepared a variety of dishes. I will have someone send some over later. When you go back in the evening, you don't have to ask the kitchen in the mansion to prepare them again."

"Yes, I just asked someone to find two pieces of brocade and a pair of soft Suzhou embroidery pillows with a jade heart. They are embroidered with mandarin ducks, which are quite festive. You can take them back later."

"Yes, thank you, mother."

Qin Jiashu led Kang to express his gratitude, and after the people took their things, he said goodbye and left.

When the two of them returned to Prince Jia's Mansion, the food that the Queen Mother had sent was also delivered.

Boiled fish, blood curd, stewed pig's trotters, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, mapo tofu, and hotpot...

There were more than a dozen dishes filling up the table, dazzling in appearance, delicious in color, and very appetizing.

These dishes were all Sichuan cuisine. Perhaps the Empress Dowager saw that she enjoyed her lunch very much, so she ordered people to prepare more of them so that she could satisfy her appetite.

Regardless of whether she loved her husband and his family because of his love for her, the Queen Mother treated her very well.

Kang felt very warm in her heart and picked up a piece of fish for Qin Jiashu.

"How do you feel about being in the palace these days?" Qin Jiashu asked with a smile.

"The Queen Mother is kind, the Concubine Shu is amiable, the Emperor seems easy to get along with but his mind is hard to figure out, the Empress appears to be warm but in fact she is cold, and the other concubines are just polite for the sake of appearance." Kang replied, "That's about it."

Kang answered truthfully.

In just two days, which only took a meal or a cup of tea, I was able to understand the key points clearly.

She is worthy of being the future Princess Jia.

Qin Jiashu picked up some food for Kang with a smile.

The two of them hadn't finished their meal when someone came into the room and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, Duke Anguo is here to visit you. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

It's so late, and the Duke of Anguo is here to look for him? Qin Jiashu sat up straight immediately, "Please come in." - The New Year is always busy but leisurely.

The reason for being busy is preparing New Year's goods, visiting relatives and friends, and preparing various banquets and social events.

The reason for being leisurely and comfortable is that you can temporarily put aside the worries that you have been worrying about throughout the year and devote yourself to the excitement of family reunions and meetings with friends.

This is the case for Su Yujin and He Yanxiu during this year's Spring Festival.

But what they were busy with was listening to operas and books, strolling around, appreciating the plum blossoms and the scenery, and tasting all kinds of delicious food.

However, if you think about it in detail, He Yanxiu has one more thing to do.

Busy tasting Su Yujin's lip balm.

When he was out of breath again and his lips became red and swollen, Su Yujin pinched He Yanxiu's waist fiercely and said angrily, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but you are so shameless."

"How can you explain such shamelessness? I actually don't understand." He Yanxiu looked rogue and kissed Su Yujin on the cheek again.

"Second Master, you don't understand?" Su Yujin rolled her eyes. "To put it simply, Second Master's behavior is shameless."

Shameless? He Yanxiu was stunned for a moment, and kept lingering on Su Yujin's lips for a long time.

Su Yujin was so angry that she stepped on He Yanxiu's instep, "Second Master is here again?"

He Yanxiu looked aggrieved, "I listened to you and didn't kiss you on the cheek."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Yujin, "..."

There is no point in continuing this love relationship! ——The Lantern Festival passed in the blink of an eye.

The new year is completely over, and He Yanxiu also needs to return to Beijing.

After arriving in the capital, He Yanxiu did not even bother to go home, and hurried into the palace to meet the emperor.

Qin Yishu looked at the dark night outside, and looked at He Yanxiu kneeling in the hall, frowning, "Yanxiu came here in a hurry, but he has something important to tell you."

"That's right." He Yanxiu nodded in response.

Thinking of Qin Peiyou who was still at the He family, Qin Yishu couldn't help but clench his fingers, trying not to let his voice tremble, "You tell me now."

"I have admired Lady Ping'an for a long time, and Lady Ping'an also has feelings for me. I dare to ask the emperor to grant me and Lady Ping'an a marriage." He Yanxiu said in a loud voice.

Qin Yishu: "..."

Qin Yishu resisted the urge to throw the memorial on the table at He Yanxiu's face. His mouth twitched several times, but he couldn't help it. He stepped down from the dragon chair and shouted angrily, "If you want to ask for a marriage, then ask for it. Why can't such a happy event come at any other time? Why do you have to rush over here in the middle of the night?"

Not only did he come at night, but his face was as tense as a guitar string. If you didn't know, you would think the sky was about to fall! Isn't this a scare? "This matter is of great importance. I don't want to postpone it any longer, so I can't wait to see the emperor." He Yanxiu kowtowed respectfully again, "I hope the emperor will grant this matter for my age and the fact that I am still single."

A lot of age...

This is absolutely true.

The New Year has just passed, and another year has passed. He Yanxiu is already in his twenties, but has not yet married.

All the noble young men in the capital who are about his age have children running around the yard.

But then again, this is nothing, you have thick skin and can handle it!

Qin Yishu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice, and walked around He Yanxiu twice with squinted eyes.

The Second Master is becoming more and more shameless...
