Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 341

"The lady is not old, the lady is still so young, she is more beautiful than before."

The old lady looked at her still young granddaughter and said with relief.

"Yes, the empress is not old, the empress is exactly the same in my heart as when I was a child!"

The old Yongninghou looked at his daughter. Although he made such a decision back then, although it was for everyone's benefit, it still hurt his daughter's heart.She didn't blame herself, but the old marquis did blame herself.

"Really? My daughter is so happy when my father says that."

Shu Ning looked at her even older father, and he felt uncomfortable all these years.

Because she understood, she never complained, but quietly watched her family leave.It's just that the sadness in her heart is inevitable, because she cares about her family very much.

"If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later. Anyway, the empress only returns to the palace at five o'clock. It's already noon. My niece and daughter-in-law have already prepared lunch. Please invite the empress to eat."

Mrs. Shizi stepped forward at this time, although she saw that everyone would not be hungry if they had a concubine who would not eat for a whole day, but the concubine was different and could not let her go hungry.

"Okay, what about the crown prince and the fourth prince?"

What about the two sons?
"Returning to the empress, the two highnesses will have dinner in the main courtyard, so they won't come to disturb the reunion of the empress and her family.

"Alas! These two children."

Shuning shook her head, not forcing herself.

The lunch was served in Shuning's courtyard, and several tables were opened.Shuning sat at the table with her grandparents, parents and elder brothers, her sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law, and then her nephews and grandnephews.

All the dishes on the table are what she likes to eat.Shu Ning sandwiched a piece of tofu, it still smelled like the one I remembered.

"Delicious." Shu Ning put down her chopsticks, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

She hasn't eaten it for many years, but the taste of the food still makes her nostalgic.

"My wife knows that my mother likes to eat Chef Lin's cooking. Although he went out to retire two years ago, this time my wife still invited him back. When I heard that I was going to cook for my mother, Chef Lin didn't pack anything. Then I came back." Mrs. Wang laughed when she mentioned this matter, the imperial concubine has always held a high status in the hearts of the old people.

Speaking of Chef Lin, Shu Ning thought of that chubby cook who liked to laugh a lot.

"Is it him? I also tasted it, only he can make the taste I like."

Shuning has been used to eating his dishes since she was a child.Although she later opened a small kitchen by herself and ate food cooked by Simei and the others, she would occasionally eat Chef Lin's cooking at Wang's, so Shu Ning could be considered to have grown up eating his food.

"Yes, that's why I specially invited you back to prepare meals for the empress."

Wang Shi nodded, she still remembered that when she was a child, only when she ate the food made by Chef Lin, she would use it very fragrantly, and she also ate half a bowl more than usual.

"It's hard for him to cook for me at such an age, reward."

Shu Ning said reward, so naturally someone will prepare it.The first shot was a reward of 50 taels of silver, but Chef Lin was overwhelmed.Although his family has a small amount of property now, no one thinks the money is small, and it was rewarded by the imperial concubine.When I go back, I will offer up the money, hoping that it can protect my grandson to pass the boy's test and become a scholar.

After the meal, everyone went back to rest. The crown prince and the fourth prince arranged to rest in the East Wing of Shuning Courtyard, and the two brothers slept together.Shuning was lying on the bed that she hadn't slept in for more than ten years, she closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.

Maybe it was because she subconsciously knew that it was the most at ease here, so she slept soundly.After sleeping for about an hour, I slowly opened my eyes.

Putting on a set of palace attire, wearing a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, and sitting in a high position in a gorgeous and noble manner.

"See Empress."

Everyone bowed down.

"Get up! Don't be too polite, our family will chat in the afternoon, and let me meet my nephew, daughter-in-law and grandnephew."

Shu Ning lightly raised her hand, and everyone stood up.

First, Mrs. Shizi came forward with her and Shizi's two children.

"reward."

Mrs. Shizi came from a family with good upbringing, and she was well educated. Shuning rewarded her with a set of appearance, and also rewarded her two grandnephews with a set of four treasures of the study, plus a pair of jade pendants.

"Thank you ma'am.

Then there was Second Young Mistress Fang, who took her eldest son to take a step forward, but she didn't know whether it was because of fear or nervousness, her legs gave way and she threw herself forward.

So everyone closed their eyes at the same time, and even Shu Ning who was sitting on it couldn't help being dumbfounded. When she recovered, the other party had already thrown herself on the ground.

Fu, what's the matter with this second nephew's daughter-in-law?
"My lady, please forgive me, she didn't do it on purpose."

When Second Young Master Fang came out, he was almost made to cry by this daughter-in-law.

"It's okay, this second nephew and daughter-in-law are really polite. Although it's the first time I've met, this is the first time I've seen this kind of prostration. Get up, there's no need to be too polite."

Shu Ning also rewarded her with a set of honors, similar to that of Shi Zifei, but the local level is higher than hers, and there are some tricks that the second young lady can't carry, that is, the identity is separated in the suit, and the value is actually the same.

But even so, Second Young Mistress Fang was also dissatisfied, and she didn't know how to hide herself, so she showed it on her face.

"Huh? What's wrong with the second nephew and daughter-in-law?"

Shuning raised her eyebrows and asked.

"...Auntie, I don't like this, I want sister-in-law's set." Sister-in-law's set looks more valuable and more beautiful.

Shu Ning just asked intentionally, but the other party pushed her nose and face, she really dared to say it.

"..." Is she out of her mind?

Shuning looked at her second brother, who shook his head helplessly.

Although I knew from the information that this second nephew's daughter-in-law was not a worry-free person, she didn't expect it to be so worry-free.

"As you are, you can't use her tricks, go down!"

I don't want to talk to her anymore, and now that I am in her status, I don't need to talk to those who don't want to talk to her.

She has no idea of ​​making herself suffer for others, not to mention the emperor telling her not to bear it, she can't bear it herself. She has been aloof for more than ten years, and no one in the harem dared to show her face, so Shu Ning's temper is also How much has changed, at least not as peaceful as before.

"But……"

The Second Young Mistress Fang wanted to continue talking, but immediately two female guards walked in, covered her mouth and dragged her away.

"Don't let her come out in the future. The Buddha Hall is a good choice. If mother has time, she might as well bring a grandson!"

After Shuning finished speaking, she stopped talking and asked the third daughter-in-law to come forward to greet her.

With the imperial concubine, the Second Young Mistress Fang would have no chance to come out.Since it is not easy to divorce her, then lock her up.This was also the last chance Shuning gave her.

"See Empress."

"Well, get up..."
