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

Chapter 50, Invitation for Favor (Part )
In July, the weather is still very hot.

In order to build a cat climbing frame for Xiaojuzi, not only Fuan and his friends were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, but even Shen Qingtang, who was good at talking, felt a little dry in the mouth.

While she was wiping her sweat with a handkerchief, An Lan, who had been serving her, hurriedly helped her sit down in the pavilion.

An Lan handed a cup of herbal tea to Shen Qingtang and said softly, "My lady, you see, Fu'an and the others are almost done building the cat climbing frame. Now that you are not fully recovered yet, you cannot work too hard. Can I help you go back and rest for a while?"

Taking the herbal tea from An Lan, Shen Qingtang drank it in one breath. Only then did he feel that his razor throat had improved a lot.

"It's okay." Shen Qingtang put the empty teacup back on the table, sighed and said with some embarrassment: "From this morning till now, I have only spoken a word. Fu'an and the others are the ones who have suffered the most."

As he spoke, Shen Qingtang waved to Shi Liu, who immediately ran over.

Shi Liu thought that Shen Qingtang was asking about the work progress, so he started to report without waiting for Shen Qingtang to speak.

"Don't worry, my lady. There are only three or four positions left to be fixed on the cat climbing frame. Fu'an said that it will be done in about an incense stick of time. Then little Orange can play happily on it~" Shi Liu looked at Shen Qingtang with admiration.

She found that her little master had many creative ideas, such as the cat toy before and the cat climbing frame today, which were really interesting.

Being spoiled so much by her master, Little Orange is definitely the number one little princess in the cat world.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work today."

While praising Shi Liu, Shen Qingtang took out a few banknotes from his pocket.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. You and An Lan will go to the imperial kitchen to prepare some iced mung bean soup. Ask the people in the imperial kitchen to add more sugar to the mung bean soup, otherwise it will be astringent and unpalatable."

Life is a bit bitter, and only by tasting some sweetness can we have more hope in life.

When Shen Qingtang stuffed the banknote into An Lan's hand, Shi Liu's round eyes rolled around and she ran back to Fu An.

"I, Shi Liu, have good news for you all. Fu An, do you want to hear it?"

Because of Shi Liu's interruption, even Fu An stopped what they were doing. They thought that Shi Liu had just gone to see Concubine Shu, and now she came back and said she had good news to tell them. Could it be that -

Everyone subconsciously glanced at Shen Qingtang, and then looked at Shi Liu with curiosity.

"Miss Pomegranate, please tell us now, don't keep us in suspense."

Pomegranate chuckled and said excitedly.

"The summer heat is unbearable. My Lord understands everyone's hard work and asked me and An Lan to go to the imperial kitchen to prepare 'iced green bean soup' for everyone, which only the Lord can enjoy. He also asked us to add more sugar to make it sweet for everyone."

Shi Liu thought that they must have been blessed in their previous life to be assigned to work in Fanghua Palace.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met such a good master.

"What?! The young master gave us the sweetened 'iced mung bean soup' as a reward. How can such a precious soup be consumed by our lowly bodies!!"

"It is our blessing that the noble man cares so much about us servants."

"My Lord, be kind. I heard that many people working elsewhere have fainted from the heat."

"That's right. Only Lady Shu treats us as human beings. Servants in other places can hardly even drink a glass of water, let alone green bean soup."

"Thank you for your kindness, we will definitely work harder to help you share your worries."

……

In this world, mung bean soup is very common, but what is commendable is that since Shen Qingtang entered the palace, mung bean soup has never been absent from Fanghua Palace.

However, when ordinary mung bean soup becomes iced mung bean soup with sugar, its price becomes indescribable.

After all, in this era of generally low productivity, sugar and ice are extremely precious commodities.

Given their status, being able to drink a bowl of sweetened iced mung bean soup is a blessing from heaven.

For a moment, the palace maids in Fanghua Palace all bowed to Shen Qingtang again and again with gratitude. …

What kind of cutie is this?

Shen Qingtang looked at the pomegranate that looked like a little sun and was winning people's hearts for him. After a moment of surprise, he was so moved that the corners of his lips curved up.

Seeing the corners of her lips slightly curved, An Lan also smiled happily.

Lady Shu is worthy of their all.

"It's very hot outside. Shall I help you go back and cool down first?"

An Lan insisted on sending Shen Qingtang back to the room to lie down, and Shen Qingtang, who had arranged everything, was no longer insistent and went back to the room where he had put ice.

When Shen Qingtang sat down on the couch, he suddenly thought of something, and he coughed lightly and called An Lan.

"I was drunk yesterday and the emperor took care of me all night. Please prepare another serving of lily, lotus seeds and white fungus soup for me. The weather is so hot and the emperor should cool down."

An Lan's eyes lit up, "My lady, what do you want?"

This was the first time her young mistress had been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace. The emperor didn't sleep well last night, so maybe...

I don’t know what An Lan was thinking about, but two red clouds suddenly appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will ask the imperial kitchen to make the lily, lotus seed and white fungus soup you requested even more delicious than before."

An Lan bit the 'Delicious' a little too hard, and Shen Qingtang felt something was wrong.

However, before she could react, An Lan ran out as fast as the wind.

Watching her leaving, Shen Qingtang couldn't help but rub his chin thoughtfully.

This little girl seems to be dyed...

……

clang!clang!clang!
"Retreat—towards—"

In the Golden Palace, the sounds of bells and chimes gradually faded away.

At Jiang Quan's suggestion, all the ministers bowed their heads to see off the departing Emperor Yuji, and then filed out of the Golden Palace in an orderly manner.

When Shen Huaian was walking out with the crowd, his father-in-law, Li Mingyuan, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, just walked up to him, but he didn't expect that the eunuch Xiao Yinzi in the imperial court suddenly ran towards Shen Huaian in a hurry.

"Master Shen, please stay. The emperor has ordered you to follow me to the Huangji Palace to see the emperor."

What? The emperor summoned a small official?

Not only were the ministers shocked, but Shen Huaian himself was also slightly stunned.

He is just a small official, why would the emperor suddenly summon him to see him? Could it be my sister...

Shen Huaian had just made some guesses when Li Mingyuan, who was standing beside him, pushed him without leaving a trace and urged in a low voice: "Huaian, if the emperor summons you, why don't you quickly follow Eunuch Yin to the Huangji Palace."

As Li Mingyuan spoke, he had some guesses in his mind.

The emperor suddenly summoned his son-in-law, which might have something to do with Concubine Shu in the palace.

After all, after Concubine Shu entered the palace, his son-in-law was transferred to the Honglu Temple and promoted...

Shen Huaian quickly came back to his senses and politely bowed to Xiao Yinzi.

"Thank you, Eunuch Yin, for leading the way."

　Thank you for the reward from Yu Qiqi baby. I am so moved that I cry.
