The little palace maid is charming and charming, and she is a disaster along the way

Chapter 4, Shen Family

Daqian Imperial City South Street, Wengang Road.

Under the scorching sun, Shen Huaian, the Han Zanlilang of the Taichang Temple, was returning home for dinner after finishing his official duties as usual. As soon as he entered Wengang Road, he saw a young girl in blue hesitating in front of the gate of his Shen family.

That slender and frail figure seemed somewhat familiar, but -

Shen Huaian shook his head and murmured to himself: "Sister is now serving Li Changzai in the palace and will never leave the palace..."

When Shen Huaian was doubtful, Shen Qingtang felt even more upset.

"Take the jujube pill!"

What if the Shen family recognizes that she is not the original one, then she will be treated as a monster and executed? !
Shen Qingtang was conflicted. Although he had accidentally inherited the original owner's memories after falling into a coma, after more than ten years of living together, how could a parent not understand his own child?
...What should I do?
I don't know if her acting skills are top notch...

"Tang, Sister Tang..."

Shen Qingtang was feeling upset when suddenly a strange yet familiar voice came from behind him, and he was stunned.

Shocked!

Cheap Daddy is online!!

Shen Qingtang stood frozen in place, and his old father Shen Huaian was even more shocked and confused.

"Tang Jie'er, it's really you. Aren't you serving your cousin Li Changzai in Chenglu Palace? Why did you leave the palace?"

Shen Huaian asked questions one after another, which made Shen Qingtang feel helpless and pitiful.

How should she act? ! I want to cry but I have no tears~
Shen Qingtang's shoulders trembled slightly. Shen Huaian was startled. He walked around to Shen Qingtang and found that the pair of bright peach blossom eyes inherited from him were already full of tears, and he cried so pitifully.

Shen Huaian couldn't bear it, "Don't cry, dear girl. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home."

Meeting Shen Huaian's worried gaze, Shen Qingtang's face turned pale and he pursed his lips embarrassedly.

"It is my daughter who has misbehaved. I hope you will not blame me, father."

Shen Huaian sighed softly, "It's okay, now that you're back, why don't you go in? Ever since you entered the palace, your mother has been missing you very much, come home quickly with your father——"

*
Shen's house, backyard.

The shadows of the branches were swaying in the courtyard. Li pulled Shen Qingtang to look at them again and again, but her eyes became red in a moment.

"My sister has become much more graceful after entering the palace for more than a month. Even her originally frail body has become much thinner..." Li stroked the tip of Shen Qingtang's finger, which was covered with calluses, and blew on it again and again with great heartache.

"It's all your mother's fault. I can't blame your grandfather. If you didn't enter the palace to be selected, why would this happen?!"

Although the Shen family is not a prominent family, Shen Huaian is at least a ninth-rank official in Beijing.

As his only daughter, Shen Qingtang was brought up in pampered condition. Her skin was so delicate and fair that it could be blown away, and her body was very soft and tender.

Seeing her hands covered with calluses, and thinking about her life as a slave in the palace, Li had already burst into tears.

Infected by the emotions expressed by Li, Shen Qingtang also had red eyes and gently held her hand.

"Mother, I'm fine." Shen Qingtang comforted her mother and whispered softly, "This time, I left the palace because I saved the Third Prince last night. With the grace of the Emperor, I was able to leave the palace early as an exception so that I can enjoy the company of you two elders."

After saying that, Shen Qingtang knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes under the gaze of his adoptive father who suddenly realized something.

"Father, everyone blames their daughter for being useless. She failed to enter the palace and was demoted to a maid, which brought shame to you and my grandfather..."

Shen Qingtang knelt suddenly, and Shen Huaian quickly helped her up under his wife's sad gaze.

"Don't talk nonsense. Now that you can leave the palace safely, your father is very relieved." Shen Huaian said sincerely.

The new emperor has been on the throne for five years. The candidates for the imperial selection should be girls of appropriate age from families of officials of the sixth rank and above, but he has only been a ninth rank Han Zanlilang of the Taichang Temple since he entered the court.

His family was not within the range of the selection, but his father-in-law insisted on recommending him, and he, as the son-in-law, had no way to refuse, so his legitimate daughter became a palace maid.

"It's good to come back. The palace is a complicated place, and a little girl like you who has been raised in the boudoir cannot get involved. Since it is the emperor's grace, you can stay at home and wait for your brother to come home from school in the evening. Your father will take you to the Qiongxian Pavilion to enjoy some luxury."

Shen Qingtang's eyes lit up slightly, Qiongxian Pavilion?
But in the original owner’s memory, is this a famous restaurant with excellent dishes and wines?

Punch in! Punch in!

Must check in! God knows, she has never had a good meal since she traveled through time.

Thinking of the bowl of medicine she drank when leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shen Qingtang couldn't help but feel nauseous twice. Her new parents seemed to change their expressions through her tearful eyes.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with your body?"

Shen Qingtang shook his head weakly, "The medicine is too bitter, as disgusting as Coptis chinensis."

She never wants to take medicine in her life!

no way!

There was bitterness between Shen Qingtang's lips and teeth. Shen Huaian and his wife looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out to be a false alarm, which is very good.

……

When the Shen family was immersed in the joy of family life, a letter sent out from Wensi Residence in Chenglu Palace was quietly transferred to the hands of Li Mingyuan, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

After reading the letter in his hand, Li Mingyuan shook his head regretfully.

"I never thought that this girl Qingtang, who didn't become a concubine in the harem, could still have such an experience. What a pity..." He is a fool.

For his meritorious service in saving the third prince, he was carried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony by the Emperor. Any smart person would know that he would seize the opportunity to win the emperor's favor and ascend to the throne.

But she chose to exchange it for a chance to leave the palace. What is this?
At worst, she could talk to her cousin Li Changzai and extend the reward to her!
What a pity, this granddaughter is really stupid!
As for Li Changzai——

Thinking of being the legitimate granddaughter of a concubine in the palace, Li Mingyuan sighed in annoyance.

"If the sisters work together, with Qingtang's stunning beauty, even if she is demoted in the palace selection, as long as Yueying puts aside her jealousy and helps her and teaches her, why should we worry about not having a favorite concubine in our Li family?!"

So hateful!

This is truly a woman's opinion. His Li family is unfortunate, and there is no future for such short-sighted people.

but--

Li Mingyuan took the letter in his hand and looked at it carefully again, his brows suddenly frowned again and again.

"...Although Yueying is a bit vicious, she does have some truth in her words."

Qingtang is a very beautiful girl. Instead of marrying her to a poor family, it would be better for her to be the matchmaker and preserve the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren.

After pondering for a long time, Li Mingyuan threw the letter into the fire and called a servant from under the ashes.

After some whispered instructions, the servant quickly went out of the back door of the Li family and walked quickly towards South Street.

The sun moves westward and the breeze blows gently.

At the same time, in the towering Forbidden City, the young emperor with a noble and sharp temperament, wielded the purple gold imperial brush in his powerful hands with slender knuckles. His pen moved like a dragon, and one after another, sloppy handwriting like iron painting and silver hooks appeared on the imperial edict with majestic momentum.

The seal was pressed down, and the low voice with a hint of smile revealed a bit of laziness.

"Jiang Quan!"

"The slave is here!"

"Then, go quickly and come back quickly."

Emperor Yu Ji picked up the imperial edict from the imperial desk and threw it casually, and it fell steadily into Jiang Quan's arms.

Jiang Quan carefully took the imperial edict in his hand and bowed immediately.

"I will obey your order. I will not disappoint your Majesty and will deliver the imperial edict to Lord Shen's residence safely."

Emperor Yu Ji tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, and his pair of smiling eyes swept over Jiang Quan, who was smiling sweetly beside him. He shrank his head and wished he could crawl into the ground.

"Don't be a joker. If you don't come back before the lock is locked, don't serve me anymore."
