Shen Li looked at Shaohua's back and had some ideas in his mind.

It seems that the Queen and the Crown Prince have so much spare money that they secretly keep so many beautiful female assassins.

I have to find some time to visit her Fengqi Palace!

After watching Shaohua leave, Shen Li entered the mansion and someone came from the palace.

The person who came was Aunt Jinxi from the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Greetings, Princess." Aunt Jin Xi stepped forward and bowed to Shen Li.

"Aunt Jinxi, why are you here?" Shen Li's heart instantly tightened. "Is it that the Royal Grandmother's illness has relapsed?"

She was still very worried about the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was as cute as a little child. Although she had hindered Shen Li's efforts in consummating her marriage with Yun Chenyu, Shen Li did not hold a grudge against her.

After all, she meant well!

Aunt Jinxi straightened up and smiled.

"Don't worry, Princess. The Queen Mother is fine. She just said that she hasn't seen you in the palace for a while and she misses you, so she sent this old servant to invite you to the palace."

Hearing Aunt Jinxi say this, Shen Li's worry disappeared, "I see!"

She then asked, "Do you still have the medicine I gave to the Empress Dowager last time?"

Aunt Jinxi smiled and said, "There are more. Don't worry, Princess Chen. If there are no more, I will send someone to get them from you."

Shen Li nodded.

"Princess Chen, if you have nothing else to do, please come back to the palace with me, old servant."

"it is good."

Just as Shen Li was about to follow Aunt Jin Xi to the palace, he thought that he hadn't seen the empress dowager for such a long time, so it would be appropriate to bring some gifts.

She stopped.

He said to Aunt Jinxi: "Please wait a moment, Aunt. I need to prepare some gifts for the Empress Dowager."

Aunt Jinxi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded with a smile.

She thought to herself: Princess Chen is really a very good person. She even brought some gifts for the Queen Mother when she went to see her.

Regardless of the amount of the gift, the Queen Mother was very happy to see this thoughtful gesture.

Shen Li asked Aunt Jin Xi to wait in the main hall and asked Qingluan and Qingzhi to serve tea and melon seeds. She went to the small kitchen and personally prepared gifts for the empress dowager.

After a quarter of an hour of hard work, an exquisitely shaped cream cake was ready.

Shen Li cut off a small piece, packed it, and took it with Aunt Jin Xi into the carriage.

The carriage was shaking so much that Shen Li fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at Shou'an Palace.

"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother, my regards to the Imperial Grandmother."

Shen Li bowed and said.

The Queen Mother was sitting on a high throne, waiting anxiously.

Seeing Shen Li finally coming, her eyes lit up with joy and she stood up from her seat and wanted to go down to greet him.

But in an instant, she sat down and glanced at Shen Li with resentment.

"You haven't come to see me for such a long time. Have you forgotten me? If I don't invite you, will you never come to Shou'an Palace again?"

Shen Li curled the corners of her lips slightly, knowing that the old lady was angry with her again.

She stepped forward.

He lowered his voice and said, "Grandmother, it's not that I didn't come to see you, I've just been busy lately. I was attacked by a wave of assassinations just yesterday, and I almost never saw you again..."

As he spoke, Shen Li raised his hand and wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

When the Queen Mother heard that Shen Li was assassinated, her resentful look disappeared and her eyes became sharp in an instant.

"Who dares to assassinate my grandson's wife? Are you trying to kill yourself?" She walked down from the high seat in two or three steps, took Shen Li's hand, and looked around before asking, "Ah Li, are you okay?"

Shen Li shook his head and said, "Grandmother, I'm fine."

"Has the assassin been caught?"

Shen Li nodded, "I caught him."

"Did the interrogation reveal the mastermind behind this?"

"Grandmother, not yet. They are currently interrogating her."

Shen Li lied to the Queen Mother.

She knew that even if she told the truth, it would not solve any problems and would only make the Queen Mother more troubled.

She is confident.

She can deal with her assassins on her own.

Shen Li raised his hand, picked up the cake in his other hand, and handed it to the Queen Mother, interrupting the topic at the right time.

"Grandmother, this is the gift I brought you."

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up again. She took the beautifully wrapped box and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Li said: "This is a cake, open it quickly and try it, it won't taste good if it's left out for too long."

Shen Li made a mousse cake for the Queen Mother, which would melt if left for a long time.

Fortunately, it is autumn now and the temperature is not that high, so it is no problem for the mousse cake to keep for an hour or two.

Aunt Jinxi spoke for Shen Li at the right time behind him.

"Your Highness, this was made by Princess Chen herself! Princess Chen is truly filial."

The Queen Mother was even more moved and quickly came to the small couch with the cake.

Open it and take a look.

A triangular cake appeared in front of her.

"So exquisite!" exclaimed the Queen Mother.

Shen Li has loved sweets since childhood.

In her previous life, when she was a child, there was no mousse cake, only cream cake, and she was very happy to eat it at that time.

Later, as the times progressed, mousse cakes gradually appeared. She felt that mousse cakes tasted better than cream cakes.

Later, she would choose mousse cake every time she ate cake.

Then I also learned to make mousse cake by myself.

Now, after coming to this strange world, all the skills from my previous life come in handy.

The saying that it is always better to have many skills is true.

A few osmanthus flowers were sprinkled on the small piece of cake. As soon as the box was opened, the rich scent of osmanthus filled everyone's nostrils.

"It smells so good!"

The Queen Mother was like a little child, and couldn't wait to pick it up and eat it.

Shen Li quickly stopped him.

He took the fork from the cake box and handed it to the Queen Mother with a smile.

The Queen Mother took a fork, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

The cake melted in my mouth as soon as I put it in my mouth.

It feels so wonderful!

It was better than any snack she had ever had, with a light and delicate texture that melted in her mouth.

She held the cake in her arms like a little wolf guarding its food and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

At the end of the meal, she was reluctant to finish it all and ate it in small bites.

Finally, the cake was eaten.

The Queen Mother was still not satisfied.

"Ali, you only brought me this small piece. It's not enough!"

Shen Li smiled and said, "Grandmother, you are not in good health. This is a sweet food and you can't eat too much at one time. If you like it, I will bring you a small piece next time I come to see you."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said helplessly, "Okay, then you must come to see me more often, and don't always wait for me to invite you."

Shen Li curled his lips and smiled: "Yes, Grandmother~"
