I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 49: Small cooking skills, big kills
"What's more, you want to give all this food to your in-laws!"

"You are really powerful now. Do you still want to make us suffer? You are reluctant to give up your precious daughter Tingyu and raise his family as well?"

Although Zhang Wei's words made sense, Zhang had no intention of paying attention to them. She could only think of the marriage and her wronged eldest daughter. Her heart was broken.

What would it matter if we try to please such a good Confucian scholar?

For a moment, she also gained courage and refuted Zhang Wei,
"Tingyu has had a weak health since she was young, and her in-laws don't like her. I'll be worried if she can't give birth!"

"Besides, her status is not as good as mine, and I'm afraid my husband's family will look down on me!"

Hearing Zhang's rebuttal, Zhang Wei's anger was surging.

"You feel so wronged now, but who asked you to curry favor with such a clan?"

"She is destined to be a slave. Even if this guy can get a position in the heaven in the future, I will not humble myself to curry favor with this person who is seeking fame and reputation!"

He was very annoyed.

Because of my daughter Tingyu, I have not had a peaceful day recently!

Ting He heard her mother crying beside her, and the two of them quietly returned to their small courtyard.

After a while, Zhang came over with a plate of lychees and some fresh spiritual fruits.

Seeing that Zhang had come to please her in this way, Yue Shu naturally would not continue to make trouble like Ting Yu.

After playing in the mansion for a few more days, he prepared to return to the palace.

She had come here several times, but this time Yue Shu felt a little absent-minded and wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible.

Even though I have to work every day next to the old lady, I seem to be more comfortable and at ease.

Before leaving, Zhang Wei asked Yue Shu and Ting He to bring some more lychees back to the palace.

Of the three baskets of lychees, he took one for his in-laws, one for his own son, and wanted to let the two little girls take the remaining one.

Yue Shu originally didn't want it, but for the sake of face, she took it anyway.

After the two little girls went back to the palace, Yue Shu also returned to her little room, took out some lychees and shared some with her roommates, and specially took some for Cong Shuang and Xue Chi.

Xue Chi really liked it and couldn't stop eating it. He said:
"Yueyue, thank you for the lychees. When Master Ling brings me some, I will definitely save more for you!"

Yue Shu nodded embarrassedly and went back to the house.

Nowadays, she does some light work every day. When she has free time, she drinks some health-preserving tea, the cheese specially given to her by the old lady, and eats some fairy cakes and lychees given by Zhang Wei. She lives a very comfortable and relaxed life.

Seeing the lychees that Long Jun presented to the old lady as a gift, and realizing that the old lady was afraid that eating too much would cause her to get irritated and have difficulty digesting it, Yue Shu asked Granny Long in the kitchen to squeeze some lychee juice for the old lady.

Although this was a small thing, the old lady was very happy about it.

Moreover, the senior palace maids were not jealous of Yue Shu's favor. After all, a little palace maid did not conflict much with their status.

When the days became too hot, Yue Shu thought of making the smoothies and cool drinks she had eaten in her previous life.

Add some fruit, candied red beans, and raisins. It’s icy and cool, very delicious and refreshing.

The old lady was so happy to be served by the little maid that she couldn't stop smiling. She liked these little gadgets very much, so the masters and ladies of the various palaces also liked them.

On this day, the ladies from all the palaces came to pay their respects to the old lady and talked about some new things that Yue Shu had made. The old lady called her out to chat in a boastful manner.

"Look at this little monkey. She does nothing but torment me every day. The other dragons in the kitchen are all complaining about her torture!"

The queen smiled and said, "This seems like a complaint, but it is actually a boast.
"It is this little girl who puts you, her mother, first!"

"I remember what kind of tortoise jelly I made?" "When the prime minister of the palace heard about it, he hid all the shells he had shed, hoping that you would find it tasty and take them all."

The old lady smiled and said:
"I've eaten that Guilinggao before."

"They say it's made with the cooling properties of herbs. It tastes bitter, and I don't like it. But if they add some honey to it, I can still eat it."

"You can rest assured that little turtle can rest assured."

"I still like the yellow-skinned green plum juice. It's brewed by Xiao Yueyue using the immortal roots and spiritual fruits offered by Wanshou Mountain. It tastes sour and sweet, and it suits my taste very well."

"I don't know what's in this little head. There are so many ideas."

Yue Shu was also embarrassed and just smiled and said nothing, her little face was red, which was very cute.

"I don't like to eat Guilinggao either, but Long Jun really likes to drink it."

“It doesn’t show on my face, but I eat it all up every time I see it.”

As she spoke, the queen pulled Yue Shu's hand and continued with a smile:

"Long Jun has been busy and a little irritable lately, but after eating your tortoise jelly, his temper has subsided a lot!"

"It's your credit that you can gain the favor of the Dragon Lord!"

Hearing this, the old lady joked:

"Long Jun actually likes it?"

"Queen, why don't you reward her well?"

Yue Shu was deeply touched that the old lady even asked for reward for her!
Although she was somewhat reluctant to accept it, she also knew that the old lady was happy and did not want to spoil her fun, so she agreed.

The queen said to Jiang with a helpless look:
"Now I have no choice but to give it to you!"

Jiang looked a little absent-minded, but she immediately forced a smile and said:

"I want to thank this girl too!"

The old lady was so happy that she didn't notice Jiang's expression and said cheerfully:

"Look how stingy you are!"

"Hahaha, you are so generous!"

Jiang was also a slippery person. Her husband was just a concubine's son, not her biological son, but he could still hold a place in front of the old lady. This was enough to explain something.

The old lady thought about the eldest son's marriage again, so she asked again:

"Queen, how are the preparations for the eldest prince's wedding going?"

The queen saw that the old lady did not look troubled as before when she mentioned this matter. She put down her worry and covered her red lips with her white and tender hands, smiling and saying:

"We are still discussing it!"

"The three girls of the Xu family have all reached the age of marriage. I am waiting for Lord Long to make the final decision."

"Oh? Which families did they promise?"

The queen responded excitedly:
"Now that the Xu family is extremely powerful, and the three girls are all very good-looking, I think they can all be daughters-in-law of the Heavenly Palace."

"But General Xu insisted on marrying his daughter to his old friend. I guess it was out of affection."
