Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 92 Situation
Having been with Shen and Li for many years, Shen Congwen has always agreed with her ideas.

Now they are talking about the Su family, Su Qingning's aunt, who is still very good to her, so Shen Congwen will not object.

After the couple had made an agreement, they left the room and ordered the servants to invite the guests to the main hall for breakfast.

Men and women are different, Shen Congwen and Shen Yu eat at the same table, and at the other table, there is Shen Li, accompanied by a screen in the middle, if you really want to say anything, you can hear it.

Perhaps it was because Shen Congwen and others were there, and Mrs. Zhao did not speak during breakfast.

After breakfast, Mrs. Shen smiled and asked for someone from Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao couldn't refuse, so Mrs. Su stayed behind. As for the three Mrs. Zhao, they were taken by the servants to wander around the mansion.

Mrs. Shen and Li have already ordered them to go on. If they want to leave the house, they can do it. If they want to buy something, the Shen family will try their best to satisfy it.

Mrs. Zhao and the others made such a decision, but Mrs. Shen and Li didn't care. They pulled Mrs. Su, and the two of them went to the kitchen to make food for Su Qingning.

Everything is simple, and it can be finished before noon. When cooking, the two chatted casually. Mrs. Shen and Li tried to talk about some light topics so as not to make Mrs. Su feel uncomfortable.

Near noon, Mrs. Shen and Li brought the food made by the two of them into the palace. Mrs. Su returned to the courtyard and sat on the soft couch to rest.

The three of Mrs. Zhao went out, and it was rare for them to be quiet at this moment. Thinking of Su Qingning's current status, Mrs. Su was very relieved.

…………

The weather was hot, and Su Qingning didn't like to eat, so she was very happy when she learned that Mrs. Shen and Li had entered the palace, so she hurriedly invited her into the main hall.

At this moment, it was time to have lunch, and Nanny Chen also prepared a lot of things. Knowing that Mrs. Shen and Li had brought food, Nanny Chen took the food box and went to the small kitchen to set it up.

Although Mrs. Shen and Li are Su Qingning's aunt, she still has to follow the rules, and the food she brings has to be inspected.

On this point, Mrs. Shen Li has no objection, and she should be more cautious.

"I didn't expect that an aunt would come into the palace today." Holding Shen Li's hand and sitting on the soft couch, Su Qingning's face was full of smiles.

"Yesterday when your eldest cousin came home, he mentioned that you have a bad appetite, so I thought about preparing the ingredients and making some of your favorite food."

Looking at Su Qingning, seeing that although she looked good, she was thinner than before, Shen Li was very distressed.

"If you want to eat anything, you can ask someone to make it. If it doesn't work, send someone to send me a letter, and I will make it for you. You are pregnant now, so you can't lose your mouth."

Although she knew that Su Qingning had nothing to lose, she still couldn't help but say a few words.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I know. If there is anything you really want to eat, I will definitely send someone to tell you."

Smiling and nodding, Nanny Chen was already ready at this moment, and sent someone to report back outside the hall. Su Qingning responded and ordered someone to bring the lunch.

The emperor knew that Mrs. Shen and Li were entering the palace, so he didn't come over for dinner, so he sent Zhou Chengren to deliver some dishes to Yuxiu Palace.

At the end of the month, the Southern Chu Kingdom came, and Emperor Chen went to Fengyang Palace to explain to the Queen about the palace banquet.

The food was placed on the table, Su Qingning pulled Shen Lishi, and sat in front of the table, looking at the dishes made by Shen Lishi and Su Shi on the table, Su Qingning felt a sense of appetite.

Nanny Chen has already checked it, so she can eat with confidence. Su Qingning is also hungry, so she greeted Mrs. Shen and Li, picked up the chopsticks, and took a bite of the food.

"It really is my aunt's craftsmanship." Since she was young, Su Qingning grew up beside Shen Lishi, so she naturally understood her craftsmanship.

Hearing what she said, Shen Li smiled, "If you like to eat, eat more. I'll leave the recipe for a while, and you can ask the people in the palace to follow suit."

After all, Mrs. Shen and Li are not from the palace, so they can't always be by Su Qingning's side. If they want to eat normally, they can send someone to tell them, but if it's not a normal time, it will be difficult.

If the palace people know the recipe, they can make an emergency at that time. Maybe the taste is not as good as that made by Mrs. Shen and Li himself, but the things, after all, are those things, and they can be dealt with no matter what.

"Auntie is still thoughtful." Nodding, Su Qingning responded with a smile.

Holding the chopsticks, Su Qingning tasted all the dishes on the table. Suddenly, she froze for a moment, picked up a dish that she had eaten before, and tasted it again.

The memory in her mind told her that this was the smell she was familiar with, but it was not from her aunt Shen Lishi, but from her own aunt, Su Shi.

"Auntie, this dish... Could it be that my aunt has come to the capital?" Looking at Mrs. Shen Li, Su Qingning asked.

"I know you can guess that it is indeed your aunt who came to Beijing yesterday and lived in Shen's residence last night."

"As well as her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao also brought two people with her. One is her old daughter, and the other is her niece from her natal family. Do you remember Mrs. Zhao?"

At the beginning, the Su family and Su Qingning's aunt and nephew had a very good relationship. There was not much difference in age between the two, so they played together since childhood.

Not long after Su's marriage, Su Qingning's parents passed away. She was still young and there were no other elders in her family, so Su was naturally worried.

Originally, she wanted to take her to be brought up by her side, but Zhao shi strongly opposed it. In desperation, Su shi had no choice but to find someone from the Shen family.

At that time, the original owner fully saw Zhao's face, and even died without forgetting it.

Su Qingning inherited all the memories of the original owner, so naturally she also remembered Mrs. Zhao. Hearing Mrs. Shen's question, Su Qingning nodded.

"Then Mrs. Zhao is still the same as in the past. She is bitter and mean, and she still treats your aunt so badly. Seeing your aunt's appearance really makes people feel distressed."

"When you entered the palace, I heard that your aunt was pregnant. I thought it was finally over. I didn't expect that when I asked about it yesterday, it was said that the child was gone."

"I reckon that it has something to do with the fox fur you used back then. It's a good thing. According to Zhao's temperament, there must be trouble. Over the years, your uncle has taken concubines again. Your aunt is right. He's probably extremely disappointed."

For a woman, after getting married, the biggest hope is her husband and children. The child is gone, and the husband is like that. Shen Li really dare not think about what kind of life Su is living.

"Since that's the case, can I let my aunt reconcile? I may not be able to do anything else. It's easy to buy a house for my aunt in the capital."

"Since the Liu family treats her badly, and she has no children, there is no need to continue to stay in the Liu family. Auntie, after you go back, have a good talk with my aunt and see what she thinks?"

"If she is willing, you can come into the palace and tell me, and I will make arrangements."
