"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I did save a mother-in-law a few days ago." Shen Li lowered her head and replied seriously.

She was so nervous just now that she forgot to wipe the snack crumbs from the corner of her mouth, and she didn't dare to look up.

The person in front of her was the most distinguished person in the dynasty, and no one dared to act rudely in front of her. She wasn't one to be in the spotlight, so how had she become the center of attention by accident?

Now, the reputation of being uncultured and rude has been confirmed.

Just sit down, no one knows each other. After taking revenge, I will wander around the world.

Find the way back and leave this damn dynasty immediately. It makes people kneel down at every turn and has so many rules and regulations...

Just as she was lost in thought, a warm hand stroked her hair from above, and a kind voice came again, "Good child, the mother-in-law you saved is my sister. She couldn't come, so she asked me to thank you on her behalf today. Come, tell me what reward you want. Come here."

The people below looked at the scene in front of them with different expressions.

The handkerchief in Zhao's hand was almost torn to pieces.

She had clearly ordered people to spread the word that everything from the old lady of Guanyong Marquis's mansion falling ill to saving people might have been a trap set by spies.

As long as the Guanyong Marquis Mansion is grateful to the savior, there is a possibility that they will fall into a trap.

The current situation is one where war is imminent, and any suspicion should be treated with extreme caution.

In order to avoid falling into the trap, even if Guan Yonghou Mansion knew that it was Shen Li who saved the man, they had to stay away first and leave time to find out the truth.

And this time to find out the truth is his last chance to make Shen Li disappear.

But now, not only did the Guanyong Marquis's Mansion not go away, but it also reported it to the emperor, asking the empress dowager to thank them on their behalf.

this......

Is it really true that there will never be another chance to kill this thorn in my side?

Thinking of how Fang pointed at his nose and called him a shameless villain, this anger has been stuck in my heart for ten years. I really can't swallow it. I just can't swallow it.

Zhao's eyes were like poisoned knives, stabbing towards Shen Li.

Shen Zhaojiang felt mixed emotions.

She was happy that Shen Li had gained face in front of the Queen Mother, as her status would rise accordingly. She also thought it would be great if such honor and favor fell on Shen Yao.

When Xiao Chenze heard the Empress Dowager say that Shen Li saved his great-aunt, he started to look at Shen Li.

The secret guards had checked and found that Miss Shen was one of the two people who appeared in the backyard of the clinic.

Today, she seems to be just a normal, stupid and timid girl, nothing like the arrogant person in my memory.

On the contrary, when the secret guards were sent to investigate the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, the secret guards came back and said that Miss Wen was by no means as gentle and obedient as she appeared during the day, but was a very opinionated person who dared to use a knife.

Because the secret guard was lying on the roof, he saw with his own eyes that she took a knife and chopped the white dog that almost tripped him, making the dog howl and scream, and its flesh and blood were all over the place.

Xiao Chenze narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wen Wanying who was sitting not far away.

The other person who went to the clinic was her. Could she be the one who saved him?

Nanny Zheng beside the empress dowager helped Shen Li up. The empress dowager took Shen Li's hand and walked to her seat.

Everyone's eyes were on them.

Shen Li's embarrassment came back again.

She is not afraid of someone being tough on her, but she is afraid of someone being too nice to her.

Especially the kind that wants to keep her by his side and take good care of her.

If someone treats her well, she won't know where to put her hands and feet.

"Good boy, tell me what you like."

The Queen Mother sat down, motioned Shen Li to stand beside her, and looked at her gently.

Shen Li didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she could only secretly glance at her uncle.

Fang Yao was very proud.

Outsiders all knew that my father had a bad relationship with Guan Yonghou, and they thought that Guan Yonghou would be resentful after hearing those rumors.

Little did they know that the two had quarreled because Queen Chu had passed away and the Emperor wanted to make Concubine Yao the Queen.

Guan Yonghou supported it, but his father did not. The two quarreled and almost fought, which led to the falling out.

But privately, my father said that Guan Yonghou was loyal to the emperor and loved his soldiers, and was a good general.

Guan Yonghou said that his father was a military genius and was loyal to the emperor.

The two of them can argue to the point of physical violence, but if others want to sow discord between them, it's impossible.

So, Fang Yao was not surprised at all when the old lady of Guan Yonghou asked the Queen Mother to help thank Li'er.

On a day like today, how could he not be proud that his niece could appear in front of everyone in such a way and give those who said she was stupid and crazy a slap in the face?

Then he grinned again.

After chuckled twice, he said to Shen Li: "If you really can't remember, just ask the Queen Mother for a few gold ingots."

The crowd roared with laughter.

The Queen Mother almost laughed herself to death, pointing at Fang Yao and saying, "You rascal, you're so old, yet you haven't made any progress."

That being said, the Queen Mother indeed rewarded Shen Li with ten gold ingots, a white jade bracelet, and several pieces of high-quality Shu brocade that came as tribute.

Shen Li knelt down to express her gratitude and returned to her seat under the envious gazes of the girls.

When passing by Xiao Chenze, she subconsciously glanced at him, only to find that he had his eyes drooped and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

Strangely, I still feel that this person is somewhat familiar.

Cui Lan'er was overjoyed. When she saw Shen Li, she said, "Sister, you made a fortune today. If there is a palace banquet like this again, we will come together. I will accompany you and watch you receive the reward. It will piss them off to death."

Shen Li also laughed.

She didn't expect to gain so much today.

He whispered, "I can give you the gold ingot, right?"

Cui Lan'er frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know either. I only know that the empresses in the palace can't give their jewelry away. My mother told me that they all have the seal of Sizhenfang on them. If you give them away or buy and sell them and someone finds out, you will be punished."

"I don't know about the gold ingots, but you don't have to give them to me, sister. I have money to spend. Daddy gives me five taels of silver every month. How much is your monthly allowance, sister?"

"I also have five taels. When I was at the farm, I didn't even have one tael."

"Ah? Then what are you going to do? Isn't it said that the Master and Madam of the Shen family are very good to your mother and you? Is this little money enough for you to spend?"

"It's definitely not enough. We have to go to the mountains to pick fruits to eat. My grandfather also goes to the mountains to hunt and get pheasant eggs for us to eat. Sometimes he also helps others with work in exchange for rice. Forget it."

Cui Lan'er looked at Shen Li and felt very sad.

So pitiful.

He filled his stomach with wild fruits and also worked for others in exchange for rice.

She was about to cry.

"They are so mean! This is not good for you at all. They clearly want to starve you to death. I will definitely tell Dad later and have him report them."

Shen Li chuckled softly and whispered, "The emperor doesn't care about this. Your father can only complain to officials, but he can't interfere in other people's family affairs."

Cui Lan'er shook her head repeatedly and whispered, "Sister, you don't know. Daddy and the others are involved in everything, whether it's private or official. Didn't you hear that some time ago, the eldest prince molested a commoner girl, and he even said it was a private matter. It was the Imperial Divine Platform who impeached him. The emperor was furious and beat him with more than ten sticks. I heard from Daddy that his butt was almost broken open, hehe."

Cui Lan'er's face turned pale after hearing a cough.

Oh no, they were just chatting happily together with their heads down, and they forgot that the eldest prince was sitting right in front of them.

Oh my God, will he get into trouble?

Xiao Chenze moved and changed his posture to a different side, as if he was half asleep.
