The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going

Chapter 240 Desserts
  During dinner, Shen Zhuoxi did not see sister Shen Wanwan, nor even brothers Shen Zishan and Shen Zaishan.
  She thought the two families were hiding and temporarily restrained.
  Unexpectedly, Shen Wanwan was so bold that she dared to come to her door alone!
  Seeing her silence, Grandma Ju decided to go out and send her away.
  However, Shen Zhuoxi stopped her and said, "Invite people in."
  Shen Wanwan came alone, and Shen Qingqing, who seemed to be conjoined with her, was not here.
  "Second sister." Shen Wanwan put the food box she brought on the table and said, "I heard that you didn't have dinner, so I happened to make some pastries with my own hands. Can you try it?"
  Shen Zhuoxi looked at the food box on the table and said with a smile: "You really have a lot of time. You don't have time to make cakes until you return home in the afternoon."
  "I came back earlier than the second sister, so I have nothing to do." Shen Wanwan pretended not to hear the teasing in her words, opened the food box and said: "I picked flower cakes made from flowers in the yard, and glutinous rice cakes. "
  "Try it first to see if it suits your taste. If it's okay to eat, I'll make more next time."
  "No need." Shen Zhuoxi glanced at the contents of the food box and said, "I'm not hungry yet."
  Shen Wanwan had no intention of leaving. After taking out all the pastry plates, she sat down next to Shen Zhuoxi and asked, "It doesn't matter if you're not hungry. You can still eat later."
  "By the way, the second sister went to the palace, why didn't she stay for dinner?"
  "I don't need to tell you about this, right?" Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "You and Princess Dunzhu are on good terms. You didn't care about her injury, but you came to care about me."
  Shen Wanwan said with a sneer: "Second sister said this and went out of her way. We all have the surname Shen and we are one family. As for Princess Dunzhu, Qingqing and I are close to her because of the sake of the Taishi Mansion."
  Shen Zhuoxi was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and interrupted: "Where is Shen Qingqing, who is inseparable from you?"
  "She had a heat stroke in the afternoon, so I brought her back first." Shen Wanwan moved the snacks to Shen Zhuoxi and said, "After resting for a long time, she still felt uncomfortable, so she didn't come with her."
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't answer. Shen Wanwan looked at her carefully and whispered, "I heard that you had a quarrel with your grandmother at night?"
  "Although you didn't come out in the guest house, you are well informed." Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyes and stared at her with a half-smile, and said: "Is there anything in the Taishi Mansion that you don't know about?"
  Shen Wanwan said quickly: "You misunderstood. I didn't ask deliberately. I heard the little maid mention it when I was preparing things in the kitchen, so I came to see you."
  "There is no reason for a family to be angry. Besides, my grandmother intends to set up a match between Zehuan and Princess Dundup. She has a bad attitude toward you. Don't worry about it."
  Shen Zhuoxi interrupted her, her eyes gradually turning cold: "Come here, what do you want to say?"
  "Look at me, I'm talking too much." Shen Wanwan didn't mind her attitude and said with a smile: "I'm just here to give you some snacks. Once I talk too much, I'll go to other places."
  "You take it easy, I'm leaving first. If you feel good after eating, just send someone to tell me and I'll make it for you."
  After Shen Wanwan said that, she left without saying any more nonsense.
  Aunt Ju stared at her back as she came downstairs, and whispered: "Which time did Miss Wan sing that Baba came over to give you some snacks?"
  "She came to inquire about the situation." Shen Zhuoxi pushed the cakes on the table and said, "Besides, she also wanted to test my attitude."
  "Miss Wan is thoughtful." Aunt Ju withdrew her eyes and whispered: "I'm afraid the purpose is similar to the previous cousin of the Jiang family, but it is more difficult to deal with than the cousin. You have to be careful."
  "I know." Shen Zhuoxi stood up and said, "It's very hot. I've been running around all day. Let's get some water to wash up early."
  "Don't you want to eat something?" Aunt Ju asked with concern: "You need to eat some at night, otherwise you will not be able to stay up all night."
  "Let's talk after we take a bath." Shen Zhuoxi yawned and said, "Bake some white fungus soup and prepare it."
  Grandma Ju responded, her eyes fell on the pastries on the table, and asked: "How to deal with these?"
  "Take it down." Shen Zhuoxi waved his hand and said, "Tell the people waiting in the yard to share it."
  After Shen Zhuoxi took a bath and washed, he felt a little more energetic, and his original sleepiness had disappeared. Bamboo leaves brought Tremella soup, which he wanted to serve Shen Zhuoxi.
  "I have something to ask Aunt Ju." Shen Zhuoxi thought of what he heard in the palace during the day and ordered: "You, Hui Zhi, and Dragonfly should all go and have a rest."
  Shen Zhuoxi was considerate of Aunt Ju and hadn't asked her to serve her for a long time. She was mostly idle and was like half a master.
  After going to prepare hot water, he returned to the house. At this time, he also knew that Shen Zhuoxi would definitely ask about Princess Xiaoqing, so he walked in and said, "But is there anything about the princess?"
  "No." Shen Zhuoxi called Aunt Ju to him, asked her to sit down, and whispered: "I want to ask you, when you were in the palace, did you ever hear any rumors about the Queen Mother?"
  Aunt Ju said suspiciously: "I haven't heard anything. I only know that the Queen Mother is weak and often takes medicine. She has no heirs of her own. After giving up seeking children, she treats several adopted sons and daughters as her own."
  "The Queen Mother..." Shen Zhuoxi paused, and her voice became softer again: "Do you have a good relationship with my grandmother?"
  "The Queen Mother and Mrs. Zhongyihou are close friends." Aunt Ju thought of the past and felt a little sad: "But I have heard another story."
  "What is it?" Shen Zhuoxi asked quickly.
  Aunt Ju came closer to Shen Zhuoxi and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother not only has a good relationship with Mrs. Zhongyi Hou, but also had a good relationship with Zhongyi Hou before they were married. The three of them are good friends."
  "Later, the Queen Mother entered the palace and became a concubine, and the Marquis and the Marquis got married. Some people once said that the position of the Marquis's wife should have belonged to the Queen Mother."
  "It was the late emperor who beat the couple with a stick, which caused the lovers to separate. The rumor is even more outrageous. Some people say that the reason why the Queen Mother has no children is because she is unwilling to give birth to an imperial heir."
  "It was also said that the tonics the Queen Mother took were all filled with infertility medicinal materials. It was rumored that she had a nose and eyes, especially after the Queen Mother raised Princess Xiaoqing."
  "But I think it must be a lie. After all, the late emperor was willing to let the queen mother raise the prince one after another, which is enough to prove everything."
  Shen Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Did you not follow the Queen Mother before she entered the palace?"
  "You are joking. I am a servant in the palace. I don't know many things." Aunt Ju sighed: "I don't like to inquire about these rumors, for fear of getting into trouble."
  "Are there any maids left in my maternal grandfather's house?" Shen Zhuoxi thought of something and stood up: "The Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is gone, but there must be many maids and maids in the house. Can’t it all be lost?”
  "It's been many years." Aunt Ju hesitated and said, "When Princess Xiaoqing was here, the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion released a few people. Later, with the death of Princess Xiaoqing and you being young, the Marquis Mansion was dispersed."
  "More than ten years have passed, and it is difficult to find the person who lived at that time."
  "Send someone to look for her." Shen Zhuoxi took a deep breath and said, "By the way, find the person who served my mother before!"
