"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
The emperor looked at Chief Minister Shen, who looked like he wanted to run away, and deliberately asked, "What's waiting for you?"
Chief Minister Shen nodded honestly: "Today is the birthday of the old lady of Duke Xin. My wife and daughter are going back to drink, and I will also go for a drink. I heard that the banquet at Duke Xin's house is very good."
The emperor looked down on him and said, "Are you short of food?"
Shen Shoufu smiled awkwardly: "Only by sharing in the joy can you live a long life and serve the emperor."
The emperor glanced at him and thought to himself that if this fox lived a hundred years, his descendants would not be able to outsmart him. Anyway, the emperor had made up his mind that if he was about to die, he would take this cunning and treacherous Prime Minister Shen away.
"Okay, get out!" The emperor waved his hand unhappily.
Shen Shoufu rolled away quickly.
The emperor thought, no matter how delicious Duke Xin’s banquet is, can it be as delicious as the one in the imperial kitchen?
Shen Shoufu walked out of the imperial study and clenched his fist secretly, knowing that he had planted a foreshadowing in the dog emperor's heart.
......
Yan Bao took a nap and it was already late when he woke up.
Mrs. Shen dressed Yan Bao, who was amazed by the clothes: [Mother has great taste. I look like a little fairy in them, so cute!]
Mrs. Shen almost laughed out loud as she looked at her daughter who was boasting and gloating.
Yan Bao had already seen his own face. It was as cute as jade, with big eyes, a small nose, and a red little mouth. His facial features were impeccable and adorable, like an exquisite little doll.
She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.
Yan Bao likes this face, it’s beautiful!
After they had packed up, Madam Shen took Yan Bao out to attend the banquet.
Knowing what she would face today, Yan Bao grabbed a handful of snacks before going out. She was full now, so she wouldn't be greedy for the banquet at Duke Xin's Mansion.
She was still young and didn't want to die yet.
Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter putting cakes in her arms and felt distressed: "Mother asked someone to prepare some food in the carriage, all of which are Yanbao's favorites."
【Mom is so thoughtful, I love you! 】
Yan Bao hugged her mother and rubbed her affectionately and coquettishly.
Mrs. Shen's heart was so soft. Her daughter was so cute. Mom loves you!
When we arrived at the Duke Xin's Mansion, all the important people in the capital were there.
Mrs. Shen, thanks to the favored minister Shen Shoufu, is also a well-known person.
The one who received her was the wife of the housekeeper of the Duke of Xin's Mansion, the Queen's sister-in-law: "Madam Shen is here, a distinguished guest has arrived, please come in quickly."
Madam Shen smiled and said, "Excuse me for bothering you. This is a gift for the old lady. I wish her good fortune as vast as the East Sea, longevity as vast as the Southern Mountains, and a long life of a hundred years!"
The old lady smiled kindly: “Mrs. Shen, you are too polite!”
Yan Bao looked at the woman standing beside him, who was acting like a vase. "It's her, it's her, it's her. She poisoned the chicken soup and caused me to die. I won't drink a single sip of this chicken soup."
[Mom can't drink it either. If she drinks it, she'll have vomiting and diarrhea, and she'll see little people. There are so many little people!]
Mrs. Shen said that she had never seen a little person in her life. How small was it?
The Duke Xin's Mansion was very lively, especially when the Queen sent a nanny to deliver birthday gifts. With the Queen's gifts, the Duke Xin felt even more proud.
Madam Shen seized the opportunity and said to the eldest lady, "If the Queen was not hindered by her status, she would definitely want to come back to drink the wedding wine and eat the banquet. I heard that the Queen loves the chicken soup in the mansion the most."
As he spoke, he showed a regretful expression.
The eldest lady thought about it and had to admit that what Mrs. Shen said was right.
The other ladies also agreed. In short, the queen was thinking about her parents' home. Even if she couldn't come, her thoughts were deep. It can be seen that she is a filial and thoughtful person. She believed that the Duke was very lucky.
There are waves of flattery.
The eldest lady and the old lady discussed it, and soon, the Duke of Xin's Mansion sent someone to prepare a table of food and had it carefully escorted into the palace for the Queen to taste her mother's 60th birthday banquet.
Whether the queen eats it or not is her business.
The gifts from Duke Xin’s Mansion must be delivered.
Yan Bao didn't know that poisonous chicken soup had been sent to the palace. She accompanied Madam Shen and a group of ladies to chat and talk. She couldn't speak and could only doze off.
Many people looked at the delicate and lovely Yan Bao and teased her.
Yan Bao was tired of laughing, and buried his head in Madam Shen's arms, not wanting to pay attention to these people: [Alas, socializing is tiring. I have social anxiety, don't talk to me.]
Mrs. Shen didn't know what social anxiety meant. She only knew that her daughter was unhappy and found an excuse to go out for a walk to avoid being dragged away to continue chatting and answering questions.
Fortunately, the banquet started soon.
There was indeed a bowl of chicken soup in front of Madam Shen and Yan Bao.
It is said that the chef hung up several chickens all night long to make this soup. It is also said that this pot of chicken soup is used to cook longevity noodles for the centenarian. In short, it is a good thing.
Others took a sip out of respect.
Yan Bao was afraid of being poisoned, so he deliberately spilled the chicken soup in front of Mrs. Shen.
Who knew that after a while, the maid brought over two more bowls.
Yan Bao: [This...can I get a refill?]
Mrs. Shen was almost laughed to death by her daughter. This child was still too naive, she didn't know how to do bad things, and she didn't have many tricks.
Not wanting to embarrass her daughter, Mrs. Shen said considerately: "If you don't want to drink chicken soup, you don't have to drink it. It's okay to just leave it like this. Mom won't force you."
Yan Bao's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Madam Shen's hand and said eagerly, "Mom, don't drink."
Madam Shen understood, but pretended to understand: “If Yanbao doesn’t drink, mother won’t drink either.”
Yan Bao smiled happily, his eyes and eyebrows curved in an adorable way: [My mom is the best!]
Mrs. Shen was very happy to be praised.
After the banquet, both the guests and the hosts were very happy.
