Chen Jinzhi finally had some free time to have dinner with Yu Huan.
At this time, they had already moved from Chaohui Palace to Shoukang Palace.
The Chaohui Palace is not small, but it is not as good as the Shoukang Palace that the filial emperor prepared for the former empress dowager.
The Chaohui Palace has a main hall with two side halls. It was originally intended for three concubines to live in, but one of them made a mistake and was banished to the cold palace, and the other was allowed to go to the mountains to recuperate due to illness, so the palace has been empty ever since.
Shoukang Palace is even more spacious than Zhaohui Palace.
The palace is planted with exotic flowers and plants, the landscape in each corner is unique, the interior furnishings are rare and precious, and the tables, chairs, and beds are all made of Dalbergia odorifera, which is more valuable than gold. Every detail is luxurious and precious.
Yu Huan's residence is bigger than before, and his food, clothing and other daily necessities are more exquisite than before.
It is said that everything was decided by the emperor.
Yu Huan guessed that it was because Yun Zhiyan had no one in the harem now, so he was particularly generous to them.
Her days became more leisurely than before.
Because Chen Cang came back, Yu Huan had a reason to openly skip studies and go out to play every day.
Every day before dawn, the Shen family's carriage to pick her up would stop at the palace gate.
Yu Huan held Zhu Ping's hand, bent down and sat in the carriage, then lifted the semi-transparent marigold gauze and looked out.
She told the driver to take a busier road, so the carriage went through the East Market.
Along the way, I saw all sorts of shops: silk shops, silk flower shops, clothing stores, fan shops... everything you could imagine. The goods weren't as good as those in the palace, but I wanted to see the lively atmosphere.
When they reached the dim sum shop, Zhu Ping spontaneously ran downstairs and came back with a few bags of hot-selling dim sum in her hands.
After a while, my attention was drawn to the steamed buns sold on the street. Crab meat buns, shrimp meat buns, candied meat buns... When I opened the lid, the aroma wafted out along with the smoke-like hot air, drifting to my nose. It was so fragrant.
Zhuping went downstairs again and bought a few.
Yu Huan ate one by placing it on oil paper. It was very fragrant and fresh, with a strong flavor and a bit oily. It was not as delicate as the ones in the palace, but it was still very nice to eat because it was fresh.
When we arrived at the Shen family, the carriage was already filled with large and small bags of food.
Before the driver called for a stop, two half-grown boys jumped out from inside. The one who looked steady and reserved was called Shen Zhongfang, and the one who looked enthusiastic and cheerful was called Shen Mingxu.
They are all Yu Huan’s cousins.
Yu Huan has been to the Shen family many times. When she was young, she came less often. Because of Shen Jinzhi's status, she didn't dare to send her out as a little kid.
When she grew up a little, the Shen family missed her very much and kept sending gifts and letters to the palace. Shen Jinzhi was annoyed by it, so she let Yu Huan go out by herself.
"Sister, you are finally here! It has been a long time since we last met." Shen Mingxu came up and helped to get the things that Zhuping couldn't get.
Shen Zhongfang was more reserved and said with a smile, "I've prepared some of my sister's favorite foods inside."
Yu Huan snorted at Shen Mingxu, "Brother Zhongfang, let's go."
"Still holding a grudge." Shen Mingxu sighed.
When Yu Huan came for the first time, they were not so good at dealing with things.
Everyone was young at that time, and Yu Huan even asked someone to hold him in their arms.
The two older boys were very curious about the sister who suddenly appeared in the house and surrounded her.
The little sister with soft cheeks is like jade, very attractive and smells sweet, but the adults don't let them hold her.
Shen Mingxu wanted to cheer up his sister, so he took out his favorite toy.
It was a fake snake that was very realistic.
The previous moment, Yu Huan was still in someone's arms chewing on the sweet taste of the cake with his fingers, and the next moment, a snake head with a spitting tongue appeared in front of him...
She was extremely desperate at that time. She was held in someone's arms and had no way to break free.
Shen Mingxu wanted to stuff the fake snake into his sister's arms and ask her to take it away, but when Yu Huan saw his treasure, she tried her best to turn around, and her entire upper body lay in the arms of the person holding her, with her head buried in it, crying and tears falling down.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Mingxu was hit by the iron sand palm from his father.
It was all in the past, but they were still surprised by their sister's ability to hold a grudge.
Anyway, Shen Mingxu never dared to give the fake snake to Yu Huan to play with again.
When she stepped into the Shen family's house, she saw Chen Cang standing under the eaves waiting for her. He had to lead the soldiers for training early in the morning and had just returned from the training ground, covered in sweat.
"Do you miss daddy?" he asked with a loud laugh.
"Yes, Daddy, I also brought you some delicious food, a lot of delicious food." Yu Huan took out all the rare things he bought on the road as if he were presenting treasures.
Everything his daughter brought was good stuff. Chencang was hungry, so he ate whatever he saw.
"Why are you standing outside? Come in and sit down." Old Mrs. Shen came out, knocking on her cane. She was so curious to see Yu Huan. "Dear, come here quickly. Let grandma feel if you have lost weight."
Yu Huan herself didn't feel anything, and even felt guilty because she ate too much. But every time her grandmother would say that she had lost weight again.
Because of her visit, Shen's uncle and aunt stayed at home. Her uncle got up early in the morning to direct people to clean up the house, and her aunt also personally prepared a large table of delicious dishes.
Shen Mingxu secretly told her that no one else usually received such treatment, but he couldn't help but complain, "I guess I wouldn't even be able to eat this well at my funeral."
Yu Huan: ...
This second brother is really out of character.
