A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Qingyu returned to Prince Ning's Mansion just like returning to her own home. No need to notify anyone, and no need to wait.

As soon as he entered the door, he sat in the sedan chair and went to the inner courtyard.

A servant hurried to report, so when Su Qingyu got out of the sedan chair, Shen Yue had already come to greet her.

"Mother was still talking about you this morning, saying that you hadn't been home for ten days. I didn't tell her that you were not feeling well, I just said that there were a lot of things going on at the farm recently and you couldn't leave."

Shen Yue took Su Qingyu's arm and spoke softly.

Three days ago, she went back to the Shen family and saw Su Qingyu was ill. But she didn't dare to tell her mother-in-law after she came back, for fear that she would worry about her.

Su Qingyu comforted him, "I'm fine. I'll be fine once the weather gets cooler."

Lin Wanyin was not at home today, she went to the shop, and even Bai Sulian went with her. Su Shunci was naturally not at home either. It was said that she was busy now and went out early and came back late, so Shen Yue often didn't see her for several days.

Su Qingyu raised her eyes, and a smile appeared in her sparkling eyes. "Why does it seem like the whole family is busy, and only the two of us are idle?"

Shen Yue sighed, "Isn't it? Mother did hand over the inner house of the palace to me, but the palace has a small population, so there are naturally few things to do. The managers below are all handling the affairs properly, so I don't have to do anything."

Su Qingyu thought of the lotus roots she brought with her and suddenly became interested. "We have nothing to do, so why don't we go to the kitchen and make glutinous rice lotus roots? When mother and Ah Ci come back, we can eat them ready-made."

Shen Yue found it interesting and nodded quickly. Then they went to the small kitchen in Shen Yue's yard.

The old women who cooked in the small kitchen were driven out, leaving only two maids to serve closely.

The lotus root was covered in mud and needed to be washed carefully. Several people got some water, sat on small stools, and started washing it.

Since there was no one in the room, Shen Yue said, "Aunt San, I went to the palace the day before yesterday. Guess who I met?"

Su Qingyu was startled and subconsciously asked, "You were in mourning, why did you enter the palace?" Then she realized belatedly, "Who did you meet?"

Shen Yue explained, "The day before yesterday was Princess Yongning's birthday, and Brother Yuanzhou took me to the palace to pay respects. I ran into Li Chaoyun, and I heard that she came to the palace to pay respects to Empress Chen."

The Empress Chen is Jiang Ziyan. Less than a month after entering the palace, she was promoted from concubine to concubine.

Su Qingyu was a little surprised. "Since the last incident, Li Chaoyun hasn't shown up for a long time."

Shen Yue curled her lips and said, "I asked around and heard that she has been coming to the palace to accompany the Empress Chen every now and then since she entered the palace."

"Now even the emperor has become much nicer to Li Chaoyun."

When Shen Yue mentioned Li Chaoyun, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. Whether she was standing on the Shen family's side or Su Yuanzhou's side, she hated this person.

So she felt uncomfortable when Li Chaoyun was doing well.

Su Qingyu snorted, "Don't worry, she will get her comeuppance sooner or later."

Not only her, but also the entire Li family.

Liu Fangcheng, a hermit from Yunshan who was friends with Princess Yongning, had been away from the capital for two months and was looking for any survivors from the villa.

In the past few months, Su Qingyu has continued to secretly offer a reward to investigate what happened in the Li family's inner residence.

Su Qingyu always believed that whatever the Li family had done would eventually leave traces.

Seeing Shen Yue's face full of resentment when she mentioned Li Chaoyun, the way she brushed the lotus roots became much rougher.

Su Qingyu then brought up the Ghost Festival worship, which diverted Shen Yue's attention.

This year, the eldest son of the Shen family passed away, so the first Ghost Festival must be grand.

"I have ordered gold utensils for worship from Fanjinlou. We will go and pick them up in a few days. I will also make your share for you." Su Qingyu said.

What she made was what the Shen family should prepare, but Shen Yue was already married, so Yu Li should make another one for her.

Shen Yue heard this and said, "I don't understand these things. How much silver do you want to give? I'll let the maid give it to you."

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "Why do you need to take more money? We are not starving at home."

The ceremony is for outsiders to see, but they are family, so it doesn't matter who pays.

Shen Yue didn't say anything else. Given the relationship between them, it wasn't worth it to be polite to each other over such a small amount of money.

They worked for two hours to cook a big pot of glutinous rice and lotus root. The remaining lotus root was sent to the kitchen, where they were told to make pork ribs and lotus root soup for lunch, and a dish of lotus root slices.

At about noon, Lin Wanyin, Bai Sulian, and Su Shunci came back one after another. Not long after, Su Yuanzhou also returned to the mansion.

When Su Yuanzhou returned home, the pot of cooking glutinous rice and lotus root in the kitchen had just been opened.

Su Qingyu looked at the people gathered in the kitchen and teased, "Did you come back because of the smell? Why are you not here when we are working, but you are here every time when we are eating?"

Of course, she couldn't say this to her mother and Aunt Lian, so Su Qingyu looked at Su Shunci and Su Yuanzhou while speaking.

Su Shunci stepped forward and took Su Qingyu's arm and said, "The lotus root cooked by elder sister is so sweet. The smell spreads far away. I can smell it."

Su Qingyu tapped her forehead and said, "Then you should eat more. It will not be in vain that we have been busy all afternoon."

Before they started eating, Lin Wanyin asked someone to pack a separate food box for Su Qingyu to take back to the old lady and everyone in the mansion.

Su Qingyu smiled and agreed, and then said, "It's hard to digest glutinous rice, and mother-in-law just wants to try it for freshness. Third Master doesn't like sweets, so I'll send the rest to Second Sister-in-law and Madam Xiang."

After lunch, Su Qingyu and Shen Yue agreed to go to Fanjinlou in three days. After hearing this, Su Shunci said he would go with them.

After returning to the Shen family from Prince Ning's Mansion, Su Qingyu went to Qingyuanju carrying the still hot glutinous rice lotus root.

When the old lady heard that it was made by her granddaughter and daughter-in-law, she ate five or six slices for the first time. If Su Qingyu hadn't stopped her, she would have eaten more.

But this thing was too sweet and difficult to digest, so Su Qingyu didn't dare let her eat too much.

The rest were sent to the first and second rooms, and all the children liked them.

When we came out of Qingyuanju, the sun was blazing. Fortunately, the Shen family's garden was well built, so we walked around the corridor and under the trees and didn't get sunburned.

When passing by the waterside pavilion, the servant was picking up weeds and leaves from the water. When the water was stirred, a slight fishy smell came out.

Su Qingyu's stomach churned and she vomited a mouthful of acid.

Feicui hurried forward and stroked her back, then asked someone to fetch some water.

Su Qingyu waved her hands, "It's okay, I just ate too much glutinous rice. After spitting it out, my stomach feels much better immediately. You really can't eat too much of this stuff, let's make something light tonight."

Seeing that she was indeed fine, Feicui didn't think about it anymore.

When everyone returned to the west courtyard, they happened to meet Shen Zhixiu who had just returned home.

The two smiled at each other and went into the inner room to change clothes together.

There was no one serving in the room, so Su Qingyu personally brought Shen Zhixiu's casual clothes and helped him change.

"The emperor issued an order today to release Chen Ping and transferred him to the palace to be the commander of the guards for Empress Chen." Shen Zhixiu suddenly said.

Su Qingyu paused for a moment while helping him tie his belt.

"Does this Concubine Chen have so much say in the Emperor's eyes?"
