Aunt Xue gritted her teeth and looked at Su Qingyu, unable to say anything to refute.

The man is a swordsman and she is a fish and meat. It is all in vain to say anything at this time.

"If we find that child, can the eldest lady let us mother and son go?" Aunt Xue continued to ask without giving up.

Su Qingyu sneered and said: "Then it depends on my aunt's performance. If my aunt is still like before, I guarantee that you will never see your son in this life."

Aunt Xue could only nod and said: "I remember it, and please don't break your promise."

Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows, ignored her, turned and left.

That evening, someone came to the palace to deliver the order. Pingning Hou Su Chengye, as well as the old lady and the eldest daughter of the Su family, will enter the palace three days later to attend the palace banquet of the Emperor's Longevity Festival.

In previous years, Su Chengye would usually attend such banquets alone. This year, it was probably because of Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu's marriage that the palace gave Su Qingyu a decree. I thought it was not appropriate to invite only one young lady, so I took the old lady with me.

The old lady was flattered and spent the night preparing clothes and jewelry.

On the day of Longevity Festival, Su Qingyu came early to put on makeup and comb her hair.

She chose a twelve-piece moonlight skirt embroidered with magnolia flowers, and wore the Dongzhu headband given by Mrs. Shen on her head. The chinchilla cloak covered with green lotus velvet makes the whole person dignified and elegant.

After getting dressed up, Su Qingyu got up and went to the old lady's Songhe Hall.

When the old lady saw her coming in, her eyes first fell on Dong Zhu's head above her.

He asked in surprise: "Is this... the honor that the Queen Mother awarded to Mrs. Shen back then? Why is it here with you?"

It's not that she has a good memory, but Dongzhu's appearance is the only one in the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Su Qingyu smiled and replied: "It was given by Mrs. Shen last time I went to Shen's house."

The old lady glanced at the other person again, and suddenly said: "Did you mention your second uncle's matter to the Shen family?"

"This time, Zhixiu was directly promoted to the position of Deputy Minister of the Cabinet. It will be easier to transfer personnel than before."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Aunt Yuan came in and reported: "Old lady, the third lady has come to say goodbye to you. Today is the day for her to go to Jinghui Temple."

The old lady said casually, "Let her come in first."

After saying that, he looked at Su Qingyu again, obviously waiting for Su Qingyu's answer.

Su Qingyu was taking the milk tea sent by her servant at this time, and her green fingers traced the lines on the edge of the small white porcelain bowl.

He pondered and said, "I know my grandmother wants my second uncle to return to Beijing, but Mr. Shen should still be busy with the Xu family's affairs at this time. Isn't it good for us to bring this up now?"

"I thought, otherwise, it would be justifiable to wait until I get married."

The old lady looked at Su Qingyu suspiciously, with a look of inquiry in her eyes.

She had mentioned this matter to Su Qingyu two or three times, but every time it was nothing. Could this girl be perfunctory with her?

But after thinking about her words carefully, I felt that they made sense. After they got married, she blew the pillow wind and the matter was done.

Su Yihui, who was sitting on the side, looked at Su Qingyu's luxurious clothes and jewelry, and was almost going crazy with jealousy. Especially the headgear, she could tell at a glance that it was not ordinary.

Why? How could Su Qingyu marry the powerful Mr. Shen and wear such luxurious jewelry?

Why does she have to go up the mountain to practice?

After the old lady finished talking about the second master of the Su family, she remembered that Su Yihui was still waiting.

He said calmly: "Go, go up the mountain and cultivate yourself."

Su Yihui stood up, kowtowed to the old lady, said goodbye to her grandmother and sister, and then left full of jealousy.

Not long after, the butler Su Zhong came in and said that the carriage was ready. Su Qingyu stood up and helped the old lady out.

Grandfather and grandson took a carriage out of the door and drove towards the palace. As for Su Chengye, he entered the palace in a car alone and was not with them.

The carriage entered Zhuque Street and began to move slowly.

Su Qingyu gently lifted a corner of the sedan curtain, only to find that the entire Zhuque Street was almost blocked by water.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's almost the same time for everyone to go out, so they can only line up like this.

When the Su family's carriage entered the palace gate, the grandfather and grandson got off the carriage and boarded the sedan chair in the inner palace.

Today's palace banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and was organized by the prince's biological mother, Consort Xian. Although Consort Xian did not have the title of empress, she already held great power in the palace.

The sedan stopped outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Su Qingyu got off the sedan and went to the front sedan to help the old lady.

She was followed by Jade and Agate, and the old lady was followed by Zhichun and Panxia.

Su Qingyu supported the old lady and looked towards the main hall of Taihe Hall. The flying horns and double eaves are magnificent and magnificent. At this time, outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, people gathered together in twos and threes, waiting for the palace banquet to begin.

More and more sedans descended behind her, and Su Qingyu helped the old lady walk inside.

A young chamberlain led the two of them to their seats in the palace, "Mrs. Su, Miss Su, the palace banquet has not started yet. You two can also go shopping, just remember to come back at early noon."

Su Qingyu thanked her, and Jade cleverly gave her a reward.

In the previous life, Su Qingyu and Shen Zhao did not attend the palace banquet after they got married. At first it was because Shen Zhao wanted to observe filial piety, but later when the period of filial piety was over, the Shen family also moved away from the center of power in the capital.

The last time she entered the palace was when her grandfather was there, when she was still young.

So Su Qingyu had been very energetic since entering the palace. She doesn't want to harm others, but she can't let others harm her either. Especially since Shen Zhixiu is in a high and powerful position now, if someone wants to deal with Shen Zhixiu, she should start with her.

Just as he was looking around, the Shen family came in. The female members were Old Lady Shen, the first lady Chen, the second lady Shen Ying, the third lady Shen Yue, and the fourth lady Shen Fu from the second room.

Su Qingyu came forward to say hello. After seeing the ceremony, Shen Yue walked to her and took her arm.

"Sister Su, you look really good today. This dress matches this hairstyle."

Shen Yue's stature is similar to Su Qingyu's, but her appearance is not as cold as Su Qingyu's, but she has the gentleness of Xiaojiabiyu.

Because he spends most of his time with the old lady, he has a rather straightforward personality, and he doesn't act humble or overthinking just because he's not the lady's biological son.

Su Qingyu looked at Shen Yue and chose a gold thread dark pattern underskirt to cover with a rose red woven gold braided bra.

She laughed softly and said, "This color looks good on you."

Shen Yue was very happy to hear this, as she had picked this out from more than a dozen sets of clothes.

It was still early when the palace banquet started, so Shen Yue spoke to the two old ladies and took Su Qingyu to go to the garden.

It was early spring, and the scenery around the Hall of Supreme Harmony was not particularly special. The two of them walked around and talked about some private matters in the boudoir.

Walking to the rockery next to the garden behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Su Qingyu suddenly stopped.

I heard a woman's scolding coming from the other side of the rockery.

"I asked you to go back home and get a cloak, but you're so slow. What's the use of the Li family raising you?"

Then there was the man's toneless, cold tone.

"If you think I'm slow, don't come to me next time."

The woman was obviously angry and said coldly.

"You dare to talk to me like this, believe it or not, I will tell my mother..."
