Rows of palace maids held exquisite fabrics and jewelry in their hands, and at the end there was a large plate of large East China Sea pearls that sparkled in the sun.
When Concubine Xi saw this, the corner of her mouth curled up, but she still snorted coldly.
"You have all these things in the palace, they are not rare at all."
But in fact, her eyes were shining, showing that she liked him, but she just refused to admit it.
Shen Yuerong naturally knew that she would have this reaction, so she smiled and took something out of her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Xi.
"Then please look at this, mother."
Concubine Xi took it with confusion, only to find that it was a deed to a manor on the outskirts of Beijing called Chunxue Manor.
When she suddenly saw the name, she couldn't help but frown, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
"It's just a manor, what's so special about it?"
Chen Yuerong just smiled faintly, "This manor is not an ordinary manor, but the place where the young ladies of the scholar family in Beijing hold poetry gatherings. The landscape and vegetation are both unique."
"I believe that mother must know."
When Concubine Xi heard this, she remembered what Chunxue Villa was.
At that moment, some bad memories flashed through her mind.
Some time ago, she wanted to attend a poetry reading, which was held at Chunxue Villa and was attended by many noble ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families.
However, there are strict rules in Chunxue Villa. One needs an invitation to enter. Even though she was a noble concubine, she could not get an invitation and was laughed at.
This was a humiliation for her. She didn't expect that the daughter-in-law whom she looked down upon would directly give Chunxue Villa to her.
For her, this was really heart-warming.
Concubine Xi stared at the deed in front of her, her eyes gradually brightened and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"I'm not targeting you, but are you sure you're really going to give me this villa? You're not lying, are you?"
Chen Yuerong smiled and replied, "How could I lie to my mother? To be honest, this villa is indeed mine, but it was poorly managed, so some villains took advantage of it and made a lot of jokes."
"I heard that mother is very capable, so I want to hand over this villa to you to manage. No matter how much profit we make in the future, I will give it to mother."
Concubine Xi couldn't help but stare at Shen Yuerong, and after a long time she said, "Do you really believe me?"
"What do you mean, mother? You are the mother of me and my husband, so you will not harm us. If I have caused you any trouble, please forgive me."
Shen Yuerong's words made Concubine Xi very happy. All she wanted was to be respected.
The look she gave Shen Yuerong became more intimate.
At the same time, he thought to himself that what Shen Yuerong said seemed to be a little different from what the Queen said, but when he thought of what he had just said, he couldn't let go of his pride and could only cough twice.
"You youngsters don't understand these things very well and are always deceived. I am doing this for your own good, not for your things."
Shen Yuerong nodded quickly, "Mother is right, we really don't understand, so I came here specially to ask for help from Mother, and I hope Mother can help."
Her humble attitude made Concubine Xi almost unable to suppress the smile on her face, and she kept waving her hands and laughing.
"In that case, then you go back and wait for my good news."
Shen Yuerong nodded and smiled and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Concubine Xi.
"Wait a moment."
Shen Yuerong raised her eyes in shock for a moment, and saw Concubine Xi standing there with a sullen face. Her heart tightened. Could it be that she was still not satisfied?
That's impossible. I did it completely according to her preferences.
Of course it was Chi Mu who paid for it, and Chunxue Villa also belongs to Chi Mu.
"Mother, do you have any other instructions?"
Concubine Xi stared at Shen Yuerong, then suddenly smiled and said, "I have prepared some gifts for you."
Before Shen Yuerong could react, Hua Qiu brought some people to place some things in front of her.
They are so magnificent and golden that they are almost dazzling when placed in the sun. Some of the fabrics are bright red and purple, which is obviously the style that Concubine Xi likes.
Shen Yuerong quickly realized that this was a gift from Concubine Xi to her, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
"Thank you, mother, for your concern. When I return, I will tell my husband about you and ask her to understand your difficulties."
Concubine Xi folded her hands in front of her and nodded coldly, "These are just things I don't want."
She looked stubborn, but Shen Yuerong could see it.
These jewelry and fabrics are all brand new and have never been used by anyone. I'm afraid they were specially prepared for her, but the buyer's taste is not very good.
After Shen Yuerong left, he couldn't help but secretly wiped away his tears.
The only person she felt sorry for in her life was her son.
He was too willful when he was young and it didn't help him at all.
Now I want to get in touch with my son, but I just can’t get close to him.
Thinking of this, even the usually carefree Concubine Xi felt a little sad.
Hua Qiu whispered to comfort him: "My Lady Concubine, I think the princess is pretty good. You can rest assured in the future."
This is what Concubine Xi thought in her heart, but she was unwilling to admit it.
"Then wait and see how she performs."
Although he said this on the surface, he was actually very satisfied with Shen Yuerong and had completely forgotten about moving out of the palace.
Here, Shen Yuerong came to the Imperial Garden with the gifts given by Concubine Xi, and ran into a group of people head-on.
Leading the group was the dignified and gentle queen, who was slowly coming with a group of concubines.
The Queen's eyes swept across the magnificent jewelry and colorful fabrics behind Shen Yuerong. She sneered in her heart, but still pretended to be concerned.
"Sister-in-law, did you just come from the Concubine's place? You didn't get into any trouble, did you? The Concubine's personality is always..."
"Forget it, I won't say any more. If I say more, it'll just drive a wedge between you two."
She originally thought that Shen Yuerong would continue to follow her words, but unexpectedly, Shen Yuerong said it lightly.
"Since the Imperial Sister-in-law knows about this, then don't say anything. As for how Mother is doing, it's because the Empress Dowager took good care of her."
"She and my husband have an inseparable blood relationship, so I naturally have to respect her a little more. On the contrary, I like the concubine very much. She is always straightforward and never plots against others behind their backs."
"What does the Queen think?"
Shen Yuerong stared at her, her smile not reaching her eyes.
She has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If someone deliberately wants to make things difficult for her, she will not be easy to deal with.
For example, the queen in front of him, whom he had never met before, but she repeatedly instructed Concubine Xi to deal with him.
Shen Yuerong will never let this go easily.
