Reborn, meet you again!

Early the next morning.

Shen Jiahe carefully dressed up and prepared to go to the palace to meet the empress dowager. Mrs. Pei and Pei Yujiao saw Shen Jiahe out with smiles on their faces.

"Jiahe, you are pregnant now, so you have to be careful." Mrs. Pei's tone was full of concern.

Not only because Shen Jiahe is now pregnant with their eldest grandson, but also because the empress dowager had previously promised that the position of the Minister of War would be confirmed after the two got married.

How could she not treat Shen Jiahe like the apple of her eye?

Pei Yujiao, who was standing by, saw her mother like this and said in a coquettish manner.

"Mother now values ​​my sister-in-law more than her daughter. I'm sure she'll be jealous."

Shen Jiahe watched the mother and daughter singing the same tune calmly, and sneered in his heart.

If she hadn't hooked up with the Queen Mother, she probably wouldn't be able to see such smiling faces on their faces today.

But she has always done a good job in appearance.

"What are you talking about, second sister? Mother naturally loves you!"

"Mother discussed your coming-of-age ceremony with me for a long time yesterday."

Pei Yujiao was not really jealous, of course. When she heard Shen Jiahe say that, she remembered her own coming-of-age ceremony and looked at her with hope.

"Sister Jiahe, can't you take me to the palace with you? Jiao'er also wants to see the Empress Dowager Fengyi in person."

Shen Jiahe naturally knew Pei Yujiao's little thoughts.

She just wanted to get close to the Queen Mother so that she could find a good marriage for her in the future.

And... she has also noticed some clues about the man she wants to marry these days.

However, considering Pei Yujiao's appearance and character, she dared to dream of marrying the prince. It was really ridiculous.

Even she looked down upon the Prince of Huai back then.

"The Queen Mother only summoned me this time. It would be bad if I rashly brought my sister with me."

"Why don't I go to the palace first and talk to my cousin. If she agrees, I'll bring my second sister with me next time! That way, the Queen Mother won't think our mansion has broken the rules."

When Mrs. Pei Hou heard this, she hurriedly pulled Pei Yujiao over.

“Yujiao, your sister-in-law is right, don’t mess around!”

"It's getting late. Don't delay your sister-in-law from entering the palace."

Yan'er's matter is the most important thing now. We can't let the empress dowager be dissatisfied with the Marquis' Mansion because of my daughter's rash entry into the palace.

Pei Yujiao was scolded by her mother and didn't know what to say, but she still looked a little unhappy.

Shen Jiahe hurriedly explained.

"Second sister, are you feeling a little bored in the mansion? I heard that Tingyu Tower is going to hold a poetry gathering in a few days. If you are willing, how about you accompany me to relax?"

Pei Yujiao was delighted when she heard this.

After such a joke at her brother's wedding, she was too embarrassed to go out and stayed at home for fear of being laughed at by others.

But now her brother is about to get a good job, and her sister-in-law is very talented. If she goes with her sister-in-law, she will definitely be able to restore some reputation for the Marquis' Mansion.

How could she not join in the fun?

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I will definitely go with you then."

Shen Jiahe just smiled and nodded.

After the three of them finished talking, Shen Jiahe got on the carriage with Yinxin's support and headed towards the palace gate.

After entering the palace, Shen Jiahe quickly came to the Cining Palace under the guidance of the palace servants.

At this time, Empress Dowager Su Jinyue was wearing a purple palace dress and sitting on the Luohan bed by the window. The charcoal fire in her bedroom was burning more vigorously than that in ordinary people's rooms.

But even so, she was still wearing thicker clothes than the servants around her and looked extremely afraid of the cold.

Although she was called the empress dowager, she entered the palace at the age of fifteen. After only one year in the palace, she was banished to the cold palace and gave birth to the fourth prince.

She is only twenty-two or twenty-three years old now. With her beautiful appearance and somewhat thin face, she gives off the feeling of a frail beauty.

After Shen Jiahe followed the eunuch into the room, he bowed to Su Jinyue and smiled sweetly.

"Meet the Queen Mother, cousin."

A faint smile appeared on Su Jinyue's face.

"Jiahe is here, get up and come sit over here."

Shen Jiahe obediently stood up and sat down on the other side of the Luohan bed.

She looked at the charcoal fire in the palace and smiled.

"It's so warm in this palace, cousin!"

"Jiahe knows that cousin is afraid of the cold, so he specially asked someone to find a piece of fine sable fur. Do you like it?"

When she first entered the palace, she cautiously called Empress Dowager Su Jinyue.

But after several attempts, she found that although her cousin was now the queen mother, her temperament was not much different from before, and she treated her quite kindly, so she tried to change her way of addressing her and called her cousin.

First, to show intimacy.

Secondly, she didn't want to admit from the bottom of her heart that she was now shorter than her.

After Shen Jiahe finished speaking, Yinxin behind her hurried forward and handed her a box.

Seeing this, Ruizhu, the maid behind Su Jinyue, immediately stepped forward to take it, opened the box and showed it to her master.

Su Jinyue just glanced at the things in the box calmly, waved her hand to let everyone in the room leave, and continued.

"You have a heart."

"I heard that something unexpected happened on your wedding day, so I've been worried ever since. I was waiting to ask you in person when you came to the palace."

"Tell me, what happened that day?"

Shen Jiahe's heart sank when he heard this, and he pinched the palm under his sleeve in annoyance.

She had spent a lot of money to find this white mink fur. It cost her a lot of money.

The Marquis' Mansion was in financial difficulty now, and in order to buy this gift, Pei Qingyan's stingy mother felt distressed for a long time.

But Su Jinyue just glanced at it casually and let it be taken away, looking as if she was indifferent to all desires.

She is just a concubine's daughter from a small family, but now that she has gained power, she has started to behave like this.

It's ridiculous.
