Chapter 39 Past events
  Yu Qinglian's attitude was cordial, as if nothing happened in the old lady's house that day.
  She is good at saving face and can tolerate it. No wonder no one has noticed her two faces.
  Shen Zhuoxi wanted to see how far she could endure it, and said deliberately: "I went to buy some medicinal materials after I came out of the palace. I wasted time and haven't eaten them yet."
  "It happens to be hot and the food is not cold yet." Yu Qinglian said, stopping the servant and saying: "Don't move yet, let the second lady finish eating."
  "I thought the second lady asked someone to prepare it again, but it turned out that she asked me to eat your leftovers." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "In this case, I'd better go out and find a restaurant to deal with it."
  Yu Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and then said aggrievedly: "Looking at what you said, I thought you were the only one who didn't eat. If I had to do it again, you wouldn't be able to finish it. It was extravagant and wasteful, so I let you give in."
  "Besides, there are a lot of dishes left tonight. The crispy pork is still a big plate full, as well as bamboo shoots, shrimps and green vegetables. I didn't use my chopsticks much."
  The servants had just prepared to leave, and there were indeed many left.
  In the past, Shen Zhuoxi couldn't get out of Xiaoxiang Tower. Either Aunt Ju went to the back kitchen to get it, or someone from the back kitchen sent it to the door.
  The meals were all boiled cabbage or meat that was about to go rancid, and the food was worse than the food of the servants.
  Right now, any leftover dish is not something she can eat.
  But now Shen Zhuoxi, a different person, would not be able to eat the leftover saliva.
  She paused and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is really frugal. If you don't know, she thought that our Grand Master's Mansion was about to break up, so she skimped on food and was petty."
  Without waiting for Yu Qinglian to speak, Shen Zhuoxi sighed heavily: "I used to be in Xiaoxiang Tower, and I had never eaten any of these leftover dishes. I finally moved from Xiaoxiang Tower to Qingfeng Tower and had to eat the leftovers. "
  "Oh, if I had known this to be the case, the Queen Mother asked me to accompany her old man in the palace, so I agreed. The palace will not be reluctant to even eat food."
  The jealousy in Shen Jingya's heart almost overflowed, and she exclaimed in shock: "The Queen Mother wants you to be your companion in the palace?"
  "Isn't that true?" Shen Zhuoxi pretended to be regretful and said, "It's just that my mind has just recovered and I haven't seen the world outside, so I rejected it first."
  This!
  Shen Jingya was holding back a mouthful of old blood and almost died of anger.
  What an honor it is to be by the Queen Mother's side. In the future, she will be married to a noble family member, maybe even a prince.
  Others could not imagine such a blessing, but she, she actually refused? !
  Shen Jingya managed to calm down and said doubtfully: "Really or not, you don't know anything, how could the Queen Mother let you go?"
  "Speaking of which, I have to thank my mother." Shen Zhuoxi touched his face and said, "The Queen Mother said that when she saw me, she would think of my late mother, but it's a pity that I have forgotten what my mother looked like. "
  She changed the topic and turned to Yu Qinglian, saying: "Do you still remember your mother's appearance, Madam?"
  Yu Qinglian gritted her silver teeth and forced out a smile: "Princess Xiaoqing is so beautiful and beautiful, how could I not remember her?"
  The appearance of Princess Xiaoqing appeared in front of her eyes, and the past that Yu Qinglian had deliberately forgotten also came roaring back.
  Yu Qinglian met Shen Heshan in his study. When he was young, Shen Heshan was suave, handsome, talented, and stood out among the scholars.
  The two fell in love with each other, but it was a pity that Shen Heshan was of low status and barely obtained a minor official position, but was never reused.
  Although Yu Qinglian was a concubine, she was born in an Earl's Mansion. Her vision and family background did not allow her to marry Shen Heshan's status, but she was reluctant to separate from Shen Heshan.
  At this time, Yu Qinglian thought of Princess Xiaoqing.
  She relied on her close friendship with Princess Xiaoqing to create an opportunity for Shen Heshan to get acquainted with Princess Xiaoqing. Shen Heshan also pretended not to know and got closer to Princess Xiaoqing step by step.
  Princess Xiaoqing was gradually attracted by Shen Heshan's talent, and Shen Heshan gradually climbed up through Princess Xiaoqing's influence.
  At Princess Xiaoqing's insistence, he finally got the Queen Mother's approval and the two got married.
  At that time, Shen Heshan was only twenty-five years old, and he took the position of the third-rank inspector and chief inspector, which was unprecedented in history!
  Being able to sit in this position is naturally due to the Queen Mother's handiwork. The Queen Mother feels sorry for Princess Xiaoqing. How can she be willing to marry someone of low status?
  Shen Heshan also worked hard and seized the opportunity to help the emperor thoroughly investigate the corruption and bribery of the former prime minister, and was reused by the emperor.
  Yu Qinglian also found Princess Xiaoqing at this time, cried out that she had to marry outside as a concubine, and begged Princess Xiaoqing to take her in.
  Princess Xiaoqing was kind and simple, unprepared, and overflowing with compassion and agreed.
  Finally, Yu Qinglian became the second wife and got pregnant before Princess Xiaoqing, giving birth to her eldest daughter Shen Xinyu first. Two years later, she gave birth to twins Shen Xinjiao and Shen Zehuan.
  Shen Heshan was promoted too quickly in just a few years, and even received two or three special promotions. He was indeed talented and capable, but he couldn't stand the comments of envious people, who said that he was a softie and was a pretty boy who rose to power because of Princess Xiaoqing.
  Gradually, he began to dislike Princess Xiaoqing and the identity of the consort, and was only willing to maintain superficial calm...
  If it weren't for Princess Xiaoqing, neither Yu Qinglian nor Shen Heshan would be as comfortable as they are today.
  But it is precisely because of Princess Xiaoqing that no matter how comfortable her life is, people still mention her name and those past events!
  Yu Qinglian hated her so much that she wished that Princess Xiaoqing and everything related to her would disappear completely and be forgotten.
  However, Shen Zhuoxi got better, and asked her if she remembered with a face similar to Princess Xiaoqing's!
  Shen Zhuoxi looked at Yu Qinglian's smile, his eyes ranging from unwillingness, jealousy, anger to viciousness.
  She smiled with satisfaction and said: "Yes, the eldest lady must remember my mother. If it weren't for her kindness, you would have been married off to Pingzhou by the Earl's Mansion. How could you be the glorious eldest lady of the Taishi Mansion? "
  "Where did you know this?" Yu Qinglian finally couldn't hold back her smile and asked, her face darkening.
  "Of course it was the Queen Mother who said it." Shen Zhuoxi said without changing her expression: "The Queen Mother was very happy when she found out that I had recovered. She pulled me and told me a lot about my mother's past, from childhood to marriage."
  She lied. It was Aunt Ju who told her the story, and the Queen Mother was not so free.
  However, she was certain that Yu Qinglian would not be able to confront the Queen Mother.
  Sure enough, when it came to the Queen Mother, Yu Qinglian did not dare to keep a straight face, put on a smile again, and echoed: "What the Queen Mother said is, thanks to Princess Xiaoqing's help."
  "Tsk." Shen Zhuoxi shook his head and said directly: "If my mother's spirit in heaven sees what's going on now, she will definitely regret helping you in the first place. Even if she claims to be my aunt, she won't even give me simple meals."
  At this point, Shen Zhuoxi could find reasons to refute whatever Yu Qinglian said.
  "How dare I forget the kindness of Princess Xiaoqing." Yu Qinglian did not dare to say anything and ordered: "Come here, prepare food for the second lady. If you want the best, send it to Qingfeng Tower."
  "Thank you so much, madam." Shen Zhuoxi paused, and then said: "Tsk, the name of this madam was originally my mother's. It's awkward to call her, but it always reminds me of my poor mother."
  "How about I feel wronged, Madam, and sit back in the position of Second Madam."
