A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian put the snacks back into the basket and said to Zhao Yichen, "Lunch in the barracks should be ready soon. I'll take you there to eat!"

Zhao Yichen looked at the snacks that Shen Qingqian had put back into the basket, sighed in his heart, and said, "Qingqian, Xinyue actually already knows that she made a mistake that day. She made snacks for you because she really wanted to show her good will to you. She also asked me to invite you to her house, and she would cook for you herself. Can you just be magnanimous and put aside your prejudice against her?"

Shen Qingqian also sighed in her heart. Perhaps this is what it means: to accept a man, one must accept the people and things around him, and also integrate into his circle!

Zhao Yichen had to take care of Mu Xinyue, and she had an engagement with Zhao Yichen. If nothing unexpected happened, she would marry him in the future and they would become a family. Therefore, she was bound to have an intersection with Mu Xinyue, whether she was willing or not!

"In fact, she doesn't need to show me kindness, and I don't need her to do anything for me. If people can get along well with each other, they can be close friends; if they have different ideas and can't talk to each other, they can just be nodding acquaintances. There is no need for anyone to cater to anyone else.

However, since Miss Mu is so thoughtful, I can't afford to lose face. I will go to your house next time I have a day off, but I will let your chef cook for you. How can I let Miss Mu cook for me personally? "

Shen Qingqian's words were polite and distant, but they made sense. Zhao Yichen also felt a little helpless. But he also knew Shen Qingqian's personality, which was straightforward. Fortunately, Shen Qingqian agreed to go to his house. He hoped that Xinyue could perform well this time and the two of them could put aside their past grudges.

"By the way, the Queen said she wanted to see you and asked when it would be convenient for you to take me to the palace to see her."

Shen Qingqian was a little surprised. If the queen wanted to see someone, couldn't she just ask him to come to the palace? Why did she need to ask him when he was free? That was too polite!

However, no matter what the reason was, she couldn't just ignore it, so she said, "How about the day after tomorrow? I'll arrange things in the military camp tomorrow, and I'll go to the palace with you to see the Queen the day after tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Zhao Yichen smiled at her, stood up and said, "Let's go eat, I'm hungry too."

On the third day, Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen went to the Queen's Qingning Palace together.

The queen was very enthusiastic and didn't put on airs with Shen Qingqian, which made Shen Qingqian feel flattered.

Regardless of whether the Queen really liked her or had other purposes, Shen Qingqian was very pleased with the Queen's attitude, and she also had a better impression of the Queen.

When they arrived, the prince was also with the queen. After they greeted each other, the prince left with Zhao Yichen, saying that they had other things to discuss.

The Queen watched the two leave and said with a smile: "Qing Qian, it is a happy event that you and Yi Chen have made an engagement. I called you here today to congratulate you, and this gift is indispensable."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid brought a large tray. The tray was full of jewelry, including a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of phoenix hairpins, and a set of exquisite head ornaments.

The Queen smiled and said, "Qing Qian, these are my engagement gifts to you. I hope you like them."

Shen Qingqian quickly stood up and knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your reward."

The Queen raised her hand and said, "Get up. Yi Chen was raised by me, so he is my son. You will soon be my daughter-in-law, so there is no need to be so distant with me."

"Qing Qian thanks the queen for her kindness."

Shen Qingqian thanked him again before standing up and returning to her seat.

The Queen asked casually, "Qing Qian, at the last palace banquet, I saw you sitting together with the newly appointed Deputy Commander Han. Do you know each other well?"

Shen Qingqian answered truthfully: "Yes, Madam, Deputy Commander Han's fiancée is a good sister of mine, and we often interact with each other."

The Queen would suddenly ask about Han Qingshan, and Shen Qingqian probably guessed the Queen's intention. But she didn't mind. In addition to the magnetic field matching, the relationship between people is also a relationship of mutual benefit.

The queen might like her a little, but if she had no value to her, she wouldn't be so enthusiastic about her.

In Shen Qingqian's opinion, this was normal, and everyone was the same, including herself. So, she didn't hide it, nor did she beat around the bush, and told the truth openly.

The Queen was very satisfied with her attitude and said, "Qing Qian, I feel like I have a good relationship with you. When you are free in the future, please come and visit me often."

"Okay, it's my honor. When there's a chance, I'll go visit the Crown Prince with Deputy Commander Han."

Shen Qingqian knew what the Queen wanted, so saying this was the same as taking the initiative to show her goodwill to the Queen.

Shen Qingqian thought very clearly that she and Concubine Dong were irreconcilable, so it was inevitable that she would have a good relationship with the Queen.

The queen was even happier when she heard this. She didn't expect Shen Qingqian to be so happy!

"Okay, Qingqian is a very insightful girl. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me and I will definitely help you!"

"Thank you, empress."

The two reached an agreement and had a very pleasant conversation afterwards.

After coming out of the palace, Zhao Yichen took Shen Qingqian back to his house.

"Brother Yichen, you finally brought Miss Shen here! I've prepared the food and am waiting for you!"

As soon as the two entered the house, Mu Xinyue came to greet them in small steps. She still acted like a master in her words.

Shen Qingqian was a little displeased when she saw Mu Xinyue, but because of Zhao Yichen's favor, she decided to give this woman some face.

"Miss Mu."

Shen Qingqian smiled at her and greeted her politely.

Zhao Yichen frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to let the chef in the mansion cook? Why didn't you listen and insisted on doing it yourself?"

Mu Xinyue smiled innocently and said, "Is this the only way to express my feelings? I want you and Miss Shen to taste my cooking skills.

Brother Yichen, please don't be unhappy. I will listen to you in everything from now on!"

The last sentence has a bit of coquettishness.

Zhao Yichen's tone softened as he spoke, "Okay, we all know your sincerity, let's go in!"

He took Shen Qingqian's hand again and said, "Qingqian, let's go, let's go eat first."

Shen Qingqian felt the warmth from his big palm and tried her best to restrain her disgust towards Mu Xinyue.

Mu Xinyue looked at the two people's tightly clasped hands, the jealousy in her heart was about to overflow, and a sinister look flashed across her face.
