The queen held Shen Yuexi's hand, and her white fingers gently tapped the back of Shen Yuexi's hand.
Her eyes were full of smiles as she stared at Shen Yuexi. "Look at what you said. What can I possibly ask of you? I just want you to come to the palace and talk to me, to relieve my boredom and to ease the sadness in my heart."
The corners of Shen Yuexi's lips twitched, and her smile was particularly awkward.
Liang Yuyu turned her head and looked at the gold items in the cradle, and suddenly felt that they didn't look so golden anymore.
[It seems that from now on, not only will my scumbag father have to live with the emperor in the court, he will be walking on thin ice. Even my mother will be worried.]
[It is true that those who eat the food will be grateful, and those who receive the food will be soft-hearted. ]
Is it too late to return these things now?
Liang Yuyu drooped her eyebrows, looked sad, and complained in her heart.
Shen Yuexi also had a solemn expression and tried to force a smile several times but failed.
After all this, Shen Yuexi had no idea what the Queen said next. She just casually responded with a few words and then found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
Chun He sent Shen Yuexi to the palace gate, took out a jade pendant and handed it to Shen Yuexi: "Madam Liang, this is what the Queen Mother specifically asked me to give to you."
There is a small carving of "Xianning Palace" on the jade pendant.
With this jade pendant, you can enter and leave the palace freely in the future.
This is a great honor.
But Shen Yuexi stared at the jade pendant and did not reach out to take it for a long time.
"Madam Liang?" Chun He reminded in a low voice, holding the jade pendant forward a little further. "The Empress said that with this jade pendant, it will be easier for Madam Liang to enter and leave the palace in the future, and it will also be easier for you two to chat."
As he spoke, Chunhe placed the jade pendant in Shen Yuexi's palm, gently held her four fingers, and tapped the back of Shen Yuexi's hand twice meaningfully.
Shen Yuexi smiled awkwardly: "Okay, then I'll accept it."
Chunhe bowed and turned to leave.
Shen Yuexi stood there blankly, looking at the thing in her hand, with no expression on her face, and she couldn't even muster a fake smile.
The Queen is determined to make the Liang family work for her, and she won't tolerate any other reasons.
Or perhaps, in the Queen's view, whether because of her personal relationship with Shen Yuexi or because of their current business partnership, Shen Yuexi had long been hers.
Since Shen Yuexi is her person, Liang Ruitian should naturally speak for the Queen.
Shen Yuexi sighed helplessly and could only keep the jade pendant close to her body. She secretly decided in her heart that she would never show the jade pendant unless it was absolutely necessary.
She held Liang Yuyu in her arms and turned around to get on the carriage when a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Huh? It's Madam Liang."
When Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu heard this voice, their expressions changed at the same time.
【What a narrow road for enemies to cross! 】
Liang Yuyu bit a row of corn teeth that had not yet fully developed, and the tips of her teeth rubbed against each other, making a crunching sound.
Shen Yuexi turned and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
But I saw Minister Cen wearing court robes and court beads around his neck.
The old face was smiling, and the crow's feet behind the eyes were enough to trap flies.
He walked quickly forward, his eyes moving back and forth between Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu's faces.
He could clearly see that both the mother and daughter were staring at him with anger in their eyes, but Minister Cen didn't care at all. Instead, he laughed even more happily.
"Mrs. Liang came here specifically to pick up Lord Liang from court, right?"
Shen Yuexi glanced at Minister Cen indifferently and said in a cold voice: "When did Minister Cen start caring about other people's family affairs?"
Having been met with a soft rejection, I thought Minister Cen would just give up, but he smiled even more broadly: "You can be indifferent to other people's affairs, but how can you not care about Lord Liang's family's affairs?"
Minister Cen came up to Shen Yuexi and said, "I haven't congratulated Madam Liang yet. At the court this morning, the Emperor commended Sir Liang for his excellent work in selecting the Crown Prince's companions. He specially issued an edict to bestow upon Sir Liang several beauties."
Shen Yuexi's already gloomy face now became even colder than ice.
Liang Yuyu also blinked angrily.
【Why is this old emperor like this? 】
[If you do a good job, wouldn't it be nice to reward someone with silver or gold? Why do you have to reward them with a beautiful woman?]
[Mother had just dealt with the two in the mansion, and now there are still the Second and Third Concubines in the mansion who are a nuisance.]
[Why did you give your scumbag father a few more beauties? ]
[Could it be that the old emperor is determined to separate my parents before he is satisfied?]
[Do you really think everyone is like him, insisting on having three harems and six courtyards?]
The more Liang Yuyu thought about it, the angrier she became. She gently bit her little pink lips and pouted them.
Phew—
Bubbles of saliva flew out unknowingly.
Who would have thought that Minister Cen just wanted to tease Liang Yuyu a bit.
The bubble of saliva landed right on Minister Cen's eyes.
A unique scent of a baby suddenly spread across his face.
Minister Cen waved his hands wildly in front of him, staggered back a few steps, and made a "Puh, Puh" sound.
Seeing that he was so disgusted with her saliva, Liang Yuyu became even more excited.
She simply used her little paws to grab Shen Yuexi's arm, pouted her lips, and spit at Minister Cen.
Minister Cen's eyes widened, his face filled with rage, and he reached out angrily to grab Liang Yuyu's collar.
Seeing this, Shen Yuexi turned sideways, blocked Minister Cen's hand, turned her head halfway, and stared at Minister Cen unhappily: "Master Minister, Guaibao is just a baby, she doesn't understand anything. Do you think you still want to make a fuss with her?"
If Liang Yuyu was a few years older, Shen Yuexi would naturally apologize for such rude behavior.
But Liang Yuyu couldn't even speak.
In the eyes of others, she has no idea what is polite or not.
If Minister Cen insisted on arguing with her at this time, it would be really inappropriate.
Minister Cen's outstretched hand paused for a long time before he slowly withdrew it.
He frowned, stared at Liang Yuyu unhappily, and whispered, "I'll remember all these spittings. When the young lady grows up..."
"How about growing up?"
Liang Ruitian's cold voice came from behind Minister Cen.
Just now in front of Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu, Minister Cen looked like a smug villain.
When he heard Liang Ruitian's voice, the smile on his face gradually froze, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
Minister Cen slowly turned his head and looked at Liang Ruitian: "When she grows up, she will naturally need to be well educated so that she can marry well in the future."
As he spoke, Minister Cen's gaze fell meaningfully behind Liang Ruitian.
Liang Yuyu and Shen Yuexi looked up together.
There were indeed three delicate beauties following Liang Ruitian.
The beauties were all in their prime, standing behind Liang Ruitian with their eyes lowered and their expressions charming, looking like a picture of a beauty.
【He actually gave three in one go! 】
[Your Majesty, do you think my father is in good health? ]
Liang Ruitian was speechless: This... Is my health not good?
