After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

Yongshou Palace has always been the palace of the empress dowager. Living here is a symbol of status.

When the master and servant arrived at the gate of Yongshou Palace, they were stopped by a palace maid, who asked them who they were and why they were there.

Shen Yihuan smiled slightly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Please trouble this palace maid to go in and inform her that it is Shen Liangdi from the East Palace who has come to pay a special visit to the Queen Mother."

The palace maid looked at Shen Yihuan with a bit of surprise. She had seen kind people before, but she had never seen someone so kind and sweet-spoken.

Who was she, and what was the status of the other party, she naturally did not dare to be arrogant, and hurriedly said: "Shen Liang Di, you are too polite, I will go in and report it."

Being sweet-talker has its advantages. Look, that palace maid did her job very hard. In the blink of an eye, she came out with a smile and invited the master and servant in.

After entering Yongshou Palace, the master and servant followed the palace maid, keeping their eyes straight ahead and being very polite all the way.

When she arrived at the inner hall, she saw the empress dowager sitting on the side of the couch. When she saw her coming, she waved to her.

"Huan'er is here, come over here."

Shen Yihuan raised her head slightly and glanced at the old man who was looking at her lovingly. She felt a sense of closeness when she thought of the old man in her memory.

His eyes couldn't help but become a little moist, and he stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

"Why are you so polite, kid? After all, I am your grandmother."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Just call me Grandmother." To be precise, the two were not close at all and had no blood relationship.

The eldest princess was not her biological daughter. She only heard that she gave birth to two daughters, but she never brought the younger daughter into the palace. The eldest daughter was always in her arms.

I guess it’s because I favor my eldest daughter more.

Little did she know that the eldest princess Zhao Jianing was not only partial, but also disgusted with her youngest daughter.

Shen Yihuan called out obediently: "Grandma."

"Okay, sit down quickly." Seeing that she was still standing, the Queen Mother quickly pulled her hand and asked her to sit down beside her. Her eyes fell on the food box in Lianwu's hand and she immediately became interested.

"Did you bring anything here?"

Shen Yihuan winked at Lianwu, and Lianwu quickly brought the food up.

"When I first married into the palace, I was supposed to come and see my grandmother the next day, but then I heard that she was ill, so I put it on hold. Later, Huan'er accidentally displeased His Highness, so she was sent to Qingfeng Courtyard and confined for several months. Now that she is free again, she misses her grandmother so much that she made some cakes early and sent them over."

The Queen Mother looked at the sincere smile on Shen Yihuan's face and felt slightly moved, and the smile on her face also became more sincere.

"You are thoughtful, kid."

Shen Yihuan brought the cake to the Queen Mother like a treasure and said, "Grandma, it's still hot. I brought it here right after it came out of the oven. Come and try it."

"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother looked at Shen Yihuan's enthusiasm and smiled.

Although there were many people in the palace who tried to please her, she used to feel annoyed when she saw them.

Now, Shen Yihuan is the same, but she can feel the sincerity from it, and she is happy in her heart.

This is probably the difference.

"Well, it's delicious. And this pastry is so delicately made that I can't bear to bite it." The Queen Mother held a rabbit-shaped pastry in her hands and smiled like a child.

These scenes overlapped with those from my previous life. It really seemed like I had returned to those days.

This made Shen Yihuan feel nostalgic. After thinking for a while, she smiled and explained, "Grandma, cakes are made to be eaten. If they are made delicately and beautifully, they will be more pleasing to the eye. However, if you don't want to eat them because they are too cute, the cake itself will be sad because it also wants to prove that it is delicious and be recognized by others."

"What you said is quite interesting." This was the first time that the Queen Mother heard such advice on eating. She felt that Shen Yihuan was an eccentric child.

Then, under Shen Yihuan's encouraging gaze, the Queen Mother took a small bite and immediately narrowed her eyes in happiness.

"Yeah, really, it's delicious."

Shen Yihuan immediately looked at Lianwu happily, and the atmosphere in the room became very good.

"You kid, it's rare that you still remember me, an old lonely woman. Bring me some delicious food." After eating a few, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth elegantly.

When Shen Yihuan heard that the Queen Mother liked it, he quickly climbed up the pole.

"Grandma, if you like, I will come to see you every day and bring you delicious food."

The Queen Mother laughed loudly and said to Shen Yihuan, "Why do you come to see an old woman like me every day? You should spend more time with the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness will naturally accompany me, but Grandmother cannot not accompany me either."

Shen Yihuan's words made the Queen Mother very happy. Although they were all flattering, she felt very comfortable listening to them.

This is probably fate.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother looked at Shen Yihuan with a hint of helplessness of an elder loving a younger generation: "Girl, why are you so sweet? Grandmother likes you very much."

Shen Yihuan's eyes lit up, and her heart felt very warm: "Huan'er also likes grandma very much. When I saw grandma just now, it was like seeing my own grandma, very kind."

"Girl, you are so good at talking."

"Huan'er said it all from the heart."

"Okay, okay, good boy, I like you very much."

The palace maids in Yongshou Palace were all staring in amazement at the rapid rise in love between the couple. They couldn't help but admire Concubine Shen Liangdi.

Lianwu, who came with Shen Yihuan, was standing aside and was also very surprised. She had broadened her horizons today. Her master was really good at talking.

However, what they didn't know was that her words were all from the heart. They also underestimated the Queen Mother, thinking that she was so happy because she was coaxed into being happy, but the Queen Mother was very shrewd. If she wasn't sincere, how could the relationship between the two of them improve so quickly.

"I just heard you say that you had some unpleasantness with the Crown Prince and were sent to Qingfeng Courtyard. Can you ask Grandmother to help you talk to the Crown Prince?"

No one expected that the Queen Mother would care so much about Shen Yihuan. She wanted to help her solve her problems as soon as they met. It seemed that the Queen Mother really liked her.

"Don't worry, grandma. Huan'er has reconciled with His Highness. As for why she is unwilling to move out of Qingfeng Courtyard, it's because Huan'er has taken care of that courtyard for several months and has developed feelings for it. In addition, although it is located in a remote area, it is also very quiet and is a very nice paradise. If you are interested one day, Huan'er respectfully welcomes you to come and have a look."

"Okay, I'll come and see you when I'm free." The Queen Mother held her hand in hers and patted the back of her hand with her other hand.

"I came here today because I have something else I need your help with."

The Queen Mother was not surprised and said casually, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"The maids and servants that my mother sent to Huan'er didn't know much about the palace rules. Huan'er was worried that they would get into trouble if they stayed that way for a long time, so she wanted to find someone to teach them. When she heard that there were experienced maids on Grandma's side, she shamelessly came to ask Grandma for help."

The Queen Mother was delighted when she heard this and said, "I thought it was something. Your mother is not thoughtful, but you are smart. How about this? Your grandmother didn't give you anything when you got married, so she will give you Aunt Xu."

She said this lightly, but Shen Yihuan knew that Madam Xu was the most capable madam of the Queen Mother.

How could she dare to accept such a person? She quickly declined: "How can I do this? How can Huan'er steal my grandmother's capable man?"

"It doesn't matter. I like you. If you don't accept it, I will be angry."

"Thank you, Grandma."
