Ye Lanyin recalled the scene of the Second Prince and Shen Lanxue together and looked over there.
The Second Prince was playing with Lin Wanwan, teasing Tianfeng.
She withdrew her gaze and said in a steady voice, "Your Majesty, when I came here, I saw the Second Prince chatting with the eldest daughter of Minister Shen."
"I wonder if the Second Prince has any intentions?"
The Empress seemed to understand, so the female lead was the daughter of the Minister.
She squeezed the handkerchief.
If she remembered correctly, Shen Lanxue had not yet reached marriageable age.
Last time Madam Shen came here to find her, she even brought some of the finest rouge from Bianjing to win her over.
Could this also be what Minister Shen meant?
“Madam Lin, the eldest daughter of the Shen family is only fifteen years old. She is still a child. It is probably just idle talk among children. The Shen family does not want their child to get married so early.”
"She hasn't reached marriageable age yet, so it's not considered intentional."
She would give Junli a warning later, telling him to stay away from the Minister's daughter in the future.
Ye Lanyin could tell that the Empress had no interest in the Shen family girl.
This way, there will be far fewer troubles.
She adjusted her sleeves and hesitated for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Song Wanqing, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Xia Zhiwei, the daughter of the Minister of War, and Du Ruoyun, the daughter of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, are all quite good, having met them several times."
"The three girls grew up to be graceful and elegant, well-educated and intelligent, and their every move exuded the demeanor of ladies from well-to-do families."
The Empress had heard of these men before, and they were indeed all decent people.
She made a mental note of it and planned to check it out again later.
Just as the two were chatting, the personal maid outside the door brought in someone.
"Your Majesty, General Yao's son, Yao Qianshu, says he has come on His Majesty's orders to light the incense burner for you."
The Empress and Ye Lanyin were chatting happily when they heard Granny Ji's voice and both looked over.
The little boy stood at the door with his head down, looking aggrieved.
Ye Lanyin joked, "I never imagined that the Emperor would be so thoughtful towards the Empress, even remembering the incense burner here."
Many people knew that Yao Qianshu lit incense in the palace.
Because of General Yao's official position, the emperor initially thought he just wanted to have fun and let him be.
Over time, the emperor discovered this.
Yao Qianshu's technique for lighting incense burners was quite sophisticated.
No matter what kind of fragrance it is, it all becomes pleasant after passing through his hands.
It has a mild, non-pungent smell and is even refreshing.
From then on, the emperor would invite Yao Qianshu to the palace to light incense burners on every major festival.
A palace servant once consulted Yao Qianshu, but even with the same technique, he couldn't recreate that flavor.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yao Qianshu abruptly raised his head.
What did he see?
Mrs. Lin!!!
So, Wanwan is here too?
The unexpected surprise made him forget where he was going.
Ignoring the Empress's words, he raised his leg to run.
But accidentally, he kicked the step.
He instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
With a "bang".
The sound was crisp and loud.
Yao Qianshu fell face-first to the ground.
Everyone was stunned; the air seemed to freeze.
Tianfeng laughed like a rooster crowing in Linlin Wanwan's hands.
Lin Wanwan stretched out her chubby little hand and smacked its head hard.
【Don't laugh!!】
【Ha ha ha ha……】
Ye Lanyin's head buzzed.
This daughter is really... hypocritical!!!
"Quickly, help Young Master Yao up."
The Empress continued, "Quickly, Granny Ji, summon the imperial physician to take a look."
Granny Ji then realized what was happening and hurriedly squatted down to help Yao Qianshu up from the ground.
"Young Master Yao, are you alright?"
Yao Qianshu chuckled twice, waved his hand dismissively, and covered up his embarrassment.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, there's no need to summon the imperial physician, I'm fine."
Then, his eyes darted around.
Sure enough, behind the tables and chairs in the main hall, several people were found staring in disbelief.
He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
He ran to the group of people.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "Sister Wanwan, Chang'an, what are you doing here?"
Could it be that they knew he wanted to eat food from the imperial kitchen and came here on purpose?
Seeing him cry, Lin Chang'an asked blankly, "Qian Shu, did you hurt yourself?"
Lin Chang'an had no idea that he was crying from being moved.
Yao Qianshu wiped away his tears with his sleeve, then laughed through his tears, "No, no, it doesn't hurt at all. I have thick skin, it's nothing."
"Chang'an, Wanwan, it's so good that you're here."
"His Majesty said that as long as I find a companion, I will be allowed to stay and eat the food from the Imperial Kitchen."
"Don't go, let's go to the Imperial Study together."
Waaaaah.
He finally found the person.
Heaven has been kind to him after all.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, the Empress covered her mouth and smiled, realizing that's how it was.
"Yao Qianshu, if you want to eat the food of the imperial palace, why don't you eat at Fengyi Palace?"
"I will have the kitchen prepare a large feast for you."
Yao Qianshu only remembered his mission when he heard the Empress's voice.
He walked up to the Empress and gave a perfunctory bow.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we won't trouble you."
"I'll be fine with the food from the imperial kitchen."
The dishes in the imperial kitchen were prepared by the head chef.
Can they be the same?
As he spoke, he skillfully walked to the incense burner, took out a tinderbox, and opened the lid of the incense burner.
Then, following the familiar method, light the incense burner.
Not long after.
A faint fragrance wafted from the incense burner.
Everyone felt delighted upon hearing this.
