The new emperor's expression changed drastically: "Divorce my wife? She already has three children! You absolutely cannot divorce her! Qi Yunxiao, you little brat, did you hear me?"
Qi Yunxiao: "...Your subject obeys the decree."
Shen Qingyu: "..."
Footsteps approached, and Consort Rong's voice returned to its gentle tone: "Xiao'er, get up first, call...call me to see you."
Qi Yunxiao got up as instructed, but his eyes fell on Shen Qingyu.
Consort Rong glared at the new emperor.
The new emperor said, "...Ms. Shen, rise."
Shen Qingyu: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The couple stood up and greeted Consort Rong again before looking at her.
Consort Rong looks truly beautiful. Aside from her slightly pale complexion, she has fully recovered.
Consort Rong stared at Qi Yunxiao's face with almost greedy eyes. His forehead, which had been dark since birth, was now smooth and fair, no different from the rest of his skin.
It really has gotten better...
Consort Rong's tears fell as she spoke: "For so many years, I never knew that the mark on your forehead wasn't a birthmark, but rather a sign of congenital toxins..."
The new emperor's expression was also very complicated.
Consort Rong was poisoned at least while pregnant with Qi Yunxiao, and the poison was not obvious, only causing black birthmarks on the fetus, which would affect lifespan over time.
Although someone has been sent to investigate, it happened more than 20 years ago, and it's not easy to find out about it now.
Therefore, both the new emperor and Consort Rong felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu didn't take it too seriously. The gifts they prepared were nothing more than the latest goat milk soap and tea seed oil soap.
I heard this stuff can moisturize the skin, so Consort Rong has been feeling quite proud lately.
All the concubines and high-ranking officials in the palace received soap as a reward from the new emperor.
The ladies from noble families who have used these goat milk soaps and tea seed oil soaps have given them rave reviews.
Although it wasn't sent out in Consort Rong's name, Consort Rong was still proud!
This is a business deal made by my own son and daughter-in-law!
They did it!
How could a mother not be happy that her own son and daughter-in-law could make such a useful thing, and that it was selling very well?
For this latest batch, Shen Qingyu made some improvements: she poured in floral water she bought from the Space Mall.
It turned into soap.
When the familiar wooden box was opened, the fresh floral fragrance wafted into Consort Rong's nose, and her eyes lit up.
"This is... goat milk soap?"
Shen Qingyu nodded: "Yes! This is goat milk soap!"
"Did they add flower juice?"
"...Yes, I added flower juice." Shen Qingyu lied without changing her expression.
Making flower juice is too labor-intensive, requiring planting, harvesting, time for growth, and processing... the cost is too high.
This one adds a touch of technology and ruthlessness—floral water.
However, Your Highness need not know about such matters.
Consort Rong took a few deep breaths: "What kind of flower juice did you add? I didn't even smell it at first!"
Shen Qingyu chuckled: "This is a secret recipe."
“I like this,” Consort Rong said, looking at the box.
Shen Qingyu pointed to the box: "It was just developed, and there are only this many. There are no more."
Upon hearing this, Consort Rong was even more delighted and turned her gaze to the new emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled indulgently yet helplessly: "These are all yours. Give them to whomever you want."
Consort Rong was instantly satisfied. She tossed the wooden box into the trunk and took Shen Qingyu's hand, saying, "Qingyu, will you come to my palace for dinner today?"
Can Shen Qingyu refuse?
Of course not.
But... wouldn't it be difficult for Qi Yunxiao to enter the harem?
The new emperor waved his hand: "You may go. Minister Qi, please stay."
Shen Qingyu immediately understood: the new emperor wanted to speak with Qi Yunxiao alone, so she had no choice but to follow her mother-in-law to the back.
Consort Rong prepared a lot of food and snacks and asked Shen Qingyu to try them.
After trying them all, Shen Qingyu tentatively asked, "The imperial kitchen's pastries are really delicious. There are many that I haven't tried before. Can I try them all?"
Consort Rong was afraid that Shen Qingyu wouldn't make any requests, so upon hearing this, she immediately ordered someone to make arrangements.
Half an hour later...
Looking at the table full of all sorts of snacks, Shen Qingyu felt very regretful.
We want to increase the variety of snacks in the store, but why do we have to say we have to try them all?
This is the kind of food that you could eat until you burst if you tried just one bite of it!
Fortunately, Consort Rong had anticipated this, and covered her mouth with a smile: "You can't finish all of this, so I'll have someone pack it up and send it to you in Xinghua Lane."
Shen Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."
Consort Rong ordered the pastries to be taken away and packed up, and then inquired about the triplets.
The triplets have been in good health these past few months thanks to good nutrition.
Especially Da Bao and Xiao Bao, because they often eat vegetables and fruits grown with spiritual spring water, and they always have meat to eat, they have all grown a lot taller.
A few days ago, after Erbao came back, the three children stood together, and Erbao was noticeably shorter.
This puzzled the mad Taoist at the time: I've been living a life of luxury with my disciple, how come she's still not as tall as those two little brats who're stuck in the village?
Does Shen Qingyu feed them dragon liver and phoenix gall every day?
When Shen Qingyu talked about the current situation of her three children, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Consort Rong listened and watched from the side, and finally became certain in her heart: the only son of the Duke of Wei's family truly loved the triplets and raised all three children very well.
With that in mind, she felt relieved.
