After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"Mrs. Lin, do you have any misunderstandings about Danqing? If you don't know anything, just say so directly.

You can only scribble a few strokes like this, yet you claim to be a painter. His Majesty is still here, aren't you deceiving the Emperor?"

Concubine Liu spoke softly, but put the blame on Shen Yunwan.

"Noble Consort Liu, Madam Lin has only been in the capital for a short time. This is her first time meeting the Emperor, so she must be a little nervous.

Besides, she had always lived in the village and had never seen any good paintings.

Madam Lin didn't do it on purpose, and the Imperial Concubine is being too harsh." The Queen excused Shen Yunwan.

"Empress, let alone a village or town, even on a mountain, one would surely know Your Majesty's majesty.

She had only just started painting. Even if she was given time, she wouldn't bother adding a few more strokes. Concubine Liu refused to give in at all.

"Can you give me a basin of water? Just plain water will do." Shen Yunwan stood quietly, not listening to the imperial concubine's words at all.

The emperor signaled to A Shun, and a young eunuch came in carrying a basin of water.

Everyone looked at Shen Yunwan curiously as she took out a bag of powdered substance from her sleeve and sprinkled it into the water.

Before anyone present could react, Shen Yunwan poured the basin of water on the painting.

There was a cry of surprise in the hall.

Even the emperor was confused by Shen Yunwan's actions.

Is it because he knew that the painting was not good, so he ruined it with water?

After a moment, Shen Yunwan showed the painting to everyone.

The plum blossoms that were about to bloom in bud in the painting actually blossomed slowly! !

This made everyone hold their breath.

"May Your Majesty's kingdom be forever stable, his country be enduring, and the sea and the river be peaceful." A crisp voice rang out in the hall, bringing everyone back to their senses.

"Good! Good! Good!" The emperor said "good" three times in a row, which shows his mood at the moment.

The Queen admired Shen Yunwan even more, this person must be won over!

Concubine Liu was very depressed.

I wanted to kill her, but who would have thought that I would praise her to the sky.

"reward!"

The emperor was very pleased and gave Shen Yunwan many rewards.

Everyone looked at Shen Yunwan with more complicated expressions.

"Madam Lin, why did the plum blossoms in the painting bloom just now?" The queen couldn't help but ask the thoughts of everyone present.

Shen Yunwan poured some of the powder into her hand and said, "When this powder is mixed with water and then comes into contact with paint, it will make the paint spread.

However, it requires great skill, otherwise the whole painting will be ruined.”

Seeing the others staring at the powder in her hand, she said, "I discovered this when I was researching herbs. After the spring, a new medicine store will open next to the Kelai'an Herbal Restaurant, and this material will be on the shelves then. I sincerely invite you to come and give us your guidance."

Everyone was at a loss as to what to do because of Shen Yunwan.

Aren't you talking about that painting?

Why is she talking about opening a new store again?

"Okay, tell me when you open the business, and I'll write an inscription for you."

After expressing gratitude, the banquet ended.

The couple was walking on the palace road when they didn't know when heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

He took Shen Yunwan's hand and walked out of the palace quickly, followed by Nanny Li who was jogging behind him.

Su Tian saw his master holding his wife's hand and walking quickly towards him from a distance, so he took down the horse stool in advance.

Lin Chengfeng helped Shen Yunwan onto the carriage anxiously, and before she could catch her breath, Lin Chengfeng kissed her.

Impatient.

Lin Chengfeng pinched her face domineeringly, not allowing her to retreat even an inch.

Until Shen Yunwan fell limply into his arms.

The whole car was filled with ripples.

After waiting for Nanny Li, Su Tian drove the carriage steadily on the road back home.

"Don't……"

Lin Chengfeng took his hand out reluctantly.

Shen Yunwan struggled to get up, but was stopped by Lin Chengfeng, "Don't move."

She nestled in his arms again.

"Um, you..." Shen Yunwan wanted to divert his attention to business.

"Help me, Yunwan." Lin Chengfeng pulled her hand and interrupted her.

Shen Yunwan reflexively tried to break free, but he held her down and she couldn't move.

Lin Chengfeng's eyes were slightly red.

"I can't wait until I get home to..."

"I can't wait, not even a moment." Lin Chengfeng bit the tip of Shen Yunwan's ear, "and I want to be in the carriage."

Shen Yunwan didn't know whether it was because of the hot breath he exhaled or because she was embarrassed, but even her neck turned red.

There are two people outside the carriage, this...

Feeling Shen Yunwan's compromise, Lin Chengfeng's face was full of charm, no longer his usual coldness.

afterwards.

Lin Chengfeng took Shen Yunwan's hand and wiped it for her.

Then she tightened her cloak and opened the car window.

The strong smell in the car dissipated a lot.

Soon, the carriage stopped.

"Mother, mother!"

Lin Xiangbei pushed away the hand that was about to help Shen Yunwan and stretched out his own hand.

Shen Yunwan also passed Lin Chengfeng beside her and got off the carriage with the help of Lin Xiangbei's hand.

"Mom, are you tired?" Lin Xiangxi tilted his head, with some worry between his brows.

"Not bad. But I didn't eat enough in the palace. Do you want to have hot pot together?"

"Okay!" The four little ones nodded in unison.

Ever since coming to the capital, the atmosphere here has always been much more tense than that of Ping'an Village.

They are always afraid that their behavior will have a bad influence on their parents.

I also know that my parents put a lot of effort into my ability to study at the Imperial College, otherwise they would not be qualified to enter the Imperial College at all.

The people inside are either rich or noble, and there are even princes and princesses.

Most of the time, they are like invisible people. Even if they have conflicts with their classmates, they will swallow their anger and apologize first.

They are not young anymore and they know almost everything about the public opinion about their family.

The circle of ladies in Beijing excluded Shen Yunwan, and the students of the Imperial College also did not get close to the Lin family.

Shen Yunwan didn't know all this.

"Let's sit down and eat together. Hot pot is more lively with more people."

Shen Yunwan asked Nanny Li, Master Dong and Su Tian to sit down and cook the hot pot together.

The soup base was steaming and fragrant, and it was unusually warm on this snowy night.

···

"Are they all asleep?"

Lin Chengfeng made room on the bed.

Every night before going to bed, Lin Chengfeng would lie down on the inside first and let her go to bed after she was warm.

She is afraid of the cold and cannot fall asleep unless she is warm enough.

"Do you think Xier is too sensitive?" Shen Yunwan knew that the four little ones had different personalities, but for a seven or eight-year-old child, Lin Xiangxi was so sensitive that it was heartbreaking.

"He's just sensitive to the people and things he cares about. Don't worry, this kid is very smart."

Lin Chengfeng held her in his arms and comforted her softly.

Even if she didn't say much, he could hear her concern.

After the winter banquet, the Lin family's life returned to its usual busy state.

Kelai'an Medicinal Restaurant is hard to get a seat at because of its good taste and beautiful appearance.

These days, Shen Yunwan comes home very late.

After closing, we need to review the revenue situation and make the most popular dishes of the day the special dishes for tomorrow.

Another night.

Pushing open the door, Shen Yunwan walked towards the four little ones' room as usual.

"Madam, the children have turned off the lights and are resting." Nanny Li had just come out of the young masters' room.

The Madam and the adults have been busy during this period, and the household is entirely up to Nanny Li to take care of things.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period, Ma'am. I'll just go take a look and then go back to the house."

But before she pushed open the door, she heard the sound of people getting up in the room.

"Brother, Mammy is gone."

Lin Xiangbei said with some frustration, "This damn Xu Dafen, tomorrow I will put him in a sack and beat him up."
