Spoiled Wife - C64

On the fifth day of the third month, Shen Jiayan still followed the Zheng Family’s caravan and left the capital. Shen Qi kept his promise and gave him the funds to make a living.

Now, there was one thing that she was more concerned about, and that was King Duanren’s letter!

When he received the letter, Shen Qi was still stunned, he had never thought that he would actually be able to write a letter to his family, and felt that it was not suitable for his noble and cold demeanor.

No matter what, Duke Xian’s letter made her happy. Ignoring their pleased expressions, Shen Qi calmly let them go down to the inner room. The letter was wrapped in a wax pill, which prevented people from peeping and preventing the damp from getting wet.

After opening the wax pill, he only saw a small piece of paper. He unfolded the paper and read a few words on it, “We have arrived. Everything is fine!” Shen Qi turned the paper around and looked at the back. There was nothing, just these few words? Do you need to be so short?

As expected, she shouldn’t have any illusions about him. Only then would she be able to match his cool and elegant demeanor! But what Shen Qi could not deny was that she had a faint sense of loss in her heart.

Thinking that the Prince would certainly be very busy there, not having the time to care about these matters, she quickly collected her emotions and came out to see the Imperial Bodyguard. “Does the Prince have any other orders?”

By now, the guards had already finished their meal. They knew that the wangfei had something to ask them, so they just waited here. When they heard her question, they immediately replied, “Your Highness ordered this one to ask for some dried meat and sauce.”

Shen Qi frowned, “Are you not used to the taste there?” The southern diet light and sweet taste, the King of the End taste a little heavy, I’m afraid it is not good to eat.

“To reply Princess Consort, everything is fine for Prince. The only problem is that I still remember the taste of your dried meat sauce.” The guard was a spook, and he must have added the words himself.

The meat sauce that Shen Qi had refined was both fragrant and spicy, it was especially suitable for eating, but it was not something that she had cooked herself, and the cooks at the Duke Palaces were just different. As long as Shen Qi could describe the general appearance of the food, they would all be able to cook well.

If not for the fact that she could even cook a cake in the oven, of course, Shen Qi would not only benefit from this, he would also need to add a King Duanren.

At this time, Shen Qi laughed and said: “Alright, I understand. You can go and rest.”

He was indeed tired from walking and he did not shirk his duties. He bowed towards Shen Qi and said, “Thank you, esteemed wangfei, this little one will take my leave.”

After the guards left, Shen Qi began to instruct the kitchen to prepare these things. Since she had specially come to ask for more, she could only seal the meat sauce with some salt and oil to keep it sealed for a long time. The dried meat itself was durable, and could only be stored for a period of time after she had finished preparing the moistureproof measures.

The most important thing was to report it to the one in the palace. Of course, the old woman, the empress dowager, would also know about it, and Shen Qi knew that the empress dowager would definitely announce her entering the palace to instruct her. As expected, the empress dowager sent someone to announce Shen Qi to the palace the next day.

After bringing Zi Zhu and the others into the palace to pay respects to the empress dowager, the empress dowager had never stopped Shen Qi ever since he had left the capital. With the aid of the title of King Duanren, Shen Qi didn’t know what she was planning to do this time.

When Shen Qi arrived at the Tzu Ning Palace, he immediately heard two voices conversing inside. One was the empress dowager’s, the other one was a young woman’s, so she was very familiar with the voices.

As expected, when common mama led her in, they saw Yan Wan and the empress dowager happily chatting away. Shen Qi smiled as she paid respects to the empress dowager, while Yan Wan also acted extremely innocent and lively in front of the empress dowager. She walked over to Shen Qi and pulled her arm.

The empress dowager, on the other hand, smiled as she watched them interact, not feeling that Yan Wan’s actions would be disrespectful in the slightest. Shen Qi didn’t care either, and replied with a smile, “Oh, what did you say about me? Could it be that the Queen Mother despised her daughter-in-law and wanted to tell her cousin about my embarrassing situation? ”

Yan Wan smiled and said, “How could that be? Imperial Aunt is praising you. ” She smiled slyly at the empress dowager, who smiled kindly.

Shen Qi teamed up and pretended to be curious as she asked: “Praise me? Quick, tell me how the Queen Mother praised me. ”

Yan Wan had a smile on her face, “Of course I’m praising you for being gentle and virtuous.” As she spoke, she looked at the empress dowager pouting. “Now that I have a daughter-in-law, aunty Huang doesn’t care about me anymore.” He even went up to the Empress Dowager and shook her sleeve. “I won’t do it!”

When the empress dowager saw how naive and innocent she was, she smiled very happily and pointed at her forehead, helpless yet loving and doting. “You, you’re just like a monkey. You can’t grow up, but you have to learn a lot from this wangfei in the future.”

These words directly made Yan Wan’s heart burst with joy, it was already very obvious, so she quickly followed up, “Yes, Wan’er will definitely learn from Elder Sister Princess, in the future Aunt Huang will not dislike me.” She spoke as if she didn’t understand the meaning of the empress dowager’s words.

Shen Qi didn’t say anything and just watched them interact with a smile on her face, as if she was looking at an ignorant child who wanted to eat candy. This kind of gaze made Yan Wan very angry, and it was always like this.

The empress dowager, on the other hand, was very satisfied. An official wife should have this sort of bearing, while a lateral consort like Yan Wan, who was innocent, innocent, and innocent, should be very good.

Yan Wan originally wanted to show Shen Qi how much she was pampered by the empress dowager, but when she saw Shen Qi’s attitude, she lost interest. She felt that hitting a fist on cotton would be too depressing, but being angry with someone else caused her to choke on her grievances.

Seeing that Yan Wan did not say anymore, the Empress Dowager asked Shen Qi, “Jing Ze wrote a letter saying that it was fine over there?”

Shen Qi laughed and replied: “Thank you mother for your concern, I am fine!” She didn’t say much, she just wasted her saliva!

The empress dowager’s expression relaxed as she whispered, “That’s good, that’s good.” He then instructed, “Remember to give Ze Li some necessary items.”

“I will follow mother’s instructions. My daughter-in-law will remember it.” Shen Qi’s attitude was respectful, his every word and action was courteous, and did not defy orders in the slightest. Of course, he would not get close, either, distant and cold.

The empress dowager didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this. In her mind, she should be the one saying that the others should just listen, thus she was very satisfied with Shen Qi’s attitude.

Shen Qi had already known from the beginning that she didn’t want to bother with him, since she had no reason to hand over the ladder if she didn’t want to act. If she wanted to say it, she would do it herself, if she didn’t want to say it, but if she didn’t want to say it, he wouldn’t say it.

But when the Empress Dowager saw it, she immediately asked with concern, “Wan’er, what’s wrong with this? If you have something to say, just say it directly. There are no outsiders here. ”

Yan Wan glanced at the empress dowager first, then looked towards Shen Qi with a shy and timid expression. Her watery eyes carried a bit of emotion, and because of shyness, she avoided it a little, just like a little girl who had just opened her heart. She was embarrassed and brave enough to want to say it out loud.

The empress dowager was very satisfied with her attitude. She was already planning on giving Yan Wan the throne, so of course she wanted her to be moved by her son. She looked at her with an encouraging gaze.

Yan Wan finally mustered up the courage and said with a red face, “I made a pair of shoes for Elder Cousin Duanwang, can we bring them over this time?” As she spoke, her large eyes looked at Shen Qi beseechingly, as if she would cry out if she rejected him.

Shen Qi felt pain in her teeth watching her act. Was there a girl who would make shoes for an outsider? Even her cousin had gone out of line. It was against the rules.

Shen Qi didn’t speak, she only smiled at the empress dowager and Yan Wan, waiting for them to say what they had to say.

The empress dowager also frowned when she heard this. If this was said in front of her, it would still be alright, but the key was that there was still Shen Qi here, and she felt that her unruly niece was a joke that Shen Qi had seen. Especially Shen Qi’s calm and collected attitude made the empress dowager even more infuriated.

This brainless, innocent girl made shoes for an outsider. What would others say if word of this got out? Teach each each other in private? Or was it to settle things privately?

Usually, shoes were made by girls who had been betrothed to each other. Some of them were given to the other side as festivals, while others were only given to the other side after the marriage. This way, the other side would see your kindness, but what was Yan Wan doing?

Yan Wan wanted to say something, but she couldn’t do so in front of Shen Qi. Even if she wanted to say something, she couldn’t do so in front of Shen Qi, so it would be awkward if she didn’t. Yan Wan looked at the empress dowager’s expression and realized that she was being rude.

She was afraid that the empress dowager would hate her because of this. When the empress dowager saw that she started to feel sorry for Shen Qi after seeing her like this, she became a little dissatisfied with Shen Qi’s attitude. Wasn’t it just a pair of shoes? Was there a need to be so stingy?

Seeing this, Shen Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. So she put down the cup and said slowly, “Cousin might not know this, but this woman can only make clothes and shoes for her future husband when she’s engaged. Even if she’s a cousin, it doesn’t make sense.”

The empress dowager’s expression was rather unsightly as she spoke the words directly to Yan Wan. Wasn’t this clearly saying that the officials of the estate were not strict with their discipline? Shen Qi did not care, but did these people think that she was dead time and time again?

He continued to smile and said, “But it doesn’t matter. You are still young, so you can learn these rules slowly. The empress values etiquette the most. You will always know if you learn more from the empress.”

Moreover, there is a certain standard for the prince’s clothes and shoes, and not just any person can make them. The mansion has the best embroidery lady in the capital, and the style is very suitable for the prince. I’m afraid that the prince would not be able to make them, so, it’s better not to send them over.

With that, she chuckled and turned to look at the empress dowager. “Imperial Mother should understand the prince’s temper. He doesn’t like people touching his things.”
