If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Fuqiu has already checked out all the people serving Princess Yongning.

This Aunt Deng used to be a senior maidservant beside the Queen. After Yongning got married, she was sent by the Queen to serve Yongning.

"Aunt Deng was originally from the Qu family and entered the palace with the Empress." Fuqiu said.

This being the case, it is unlikely that Aunt Deng is a spy.

"The snacks that Aunt Deng sent today looked somewhat familiar to me, as if I had seen them somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where." Shen Sui'an tapped his forehead.

Maybe it's because the memory is too old, so it's vague now.

Fuqiu said, "Madam, let me check it out."

Shen Sui'an nodded. She had already made a deal with Concubine Yao and she must find out who sent the spy around Yongning.

"Madam, is it possible that you have seen the same pastries at Miss Qu's place before?" Banjian asked in a low voice.

"It's not impossible." Shen Sui'an seemed to be thinking about something. After all, Aunt Deng also entered the palace from the Qu family.

You can't doubt Aunt Deng just because the pastries seem familiar to you.

It will cause her to lose her judgment.

If you make a mistake, you might even alert the enemy.

With Huarong Pavilion's efforts to create a mysterious atmosphere, the Taoyuan Reunion Banquet has attracted more and more attention.

Some people began to feel proud to receive invitations to the banquet, and all the seats in Huarong Pavilion were taken up quickly.

But no matter how much people outside requested, the latest rouge was not put on the shelves yet.

Soon it was the day when the banquet officially began.

The weather was mild, the autumn wind was refreshing, and the sky was blue and cloudless.

It was not yet the season for peach blossoms to bloom, so Shen Suian had the branches decorated with red silk. From a distance, it really looked like a field of blooming peach blossoms.

Every guest who comes to the banquet will receive an exquisite souvenir.

It is the latest rouge launched by Huarong Pavilion.

"Huarong Pavilion has launched a total of four new products this time. Which one you receive depends on fate." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

She didn't invite many guests to the banquet. Apart from the women of noble families, there were only a few women who were highly praised in the capital.

"It's just a few boxes of rouge, why make it so mysterious?" Some people sneered at Shen Suian's behavior.

"Then don't come. Return the rouge to her."

"This is given to me, why should I give it back?"

"You are just jealous of Shen Sui'an."

"..."

Shen Sui'an had no time to pay attention to these gossips. She knew very well that no matter what she did, it would be impossible to satisfy anyone.

Anyway, a few sarcastic remarks don't affect her ability to make money.

"Princess Yongning has arrived."

Everyone who was talking happily fell silent for a moment.

Then he exclaimed again.

"Princess Yongning is not closing the door to visitors, why is she here?"

"Didn't you see Princess Yuanjia go out to greet her? After all, they are cousins, so they might be giving face to Princess Yuanjia."

Shen Sui'an and Feng Yuanjia came to the gate of Taohuayuan together to welcome Yongning.

Yongning's outfit today is still simple, with only a light layer of makeup, making her look elegant and dignified.

"Greetings, Princess Yongning." Shen Suian bowed with a smile.

"Did she give you dividends? You are helping her Yanzhi to build momentum." Yongning raised his eyebrows and asked Feng Yuanjia.

Feng Yuanjia chuckled, "It's better than a dividend."

Yongning smiled faintly, she looked at Shen Sui'an, "You are popular in Beijing, why didn't I realize you are so good at networking before."

"I used to be timid." Shen Suian said.

"You even dare to marry Lu Yuan, and you are still timid?" Yongning chuckled.

Shen Sui'an's cheeks felt slightly hot, and he remembered that Yongning had mentioned before that she wanted to marry Lu Yuan, so he found it difficult to respond.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in married men." Yongning smiled.

"Princess, please come in." Shen Suian led the way gracefully.

She glanced at the maid serving behind Yongning.

Aunt Deng did not go out with them, only four palace maids came with them.

They are all Yongning’s confidants.

"You've made this banquet so mysterious, it's not just for us to taste the cakes and take a look at your rouge, is it?" Yongning said calmly.

"This cake is not as good as the one made by Aunt Deng."

Feng Yuanjia asked, "I heard from Sui Sui that Aunt Deng's pastries are not only delicious, but also very lifelike. Sister, how about you lend me Aunt Deng for a few days?"

Yongning glared at her and said, "Aunt Deng can't give it to you, but Ziying has learned from Aunt Deng and her skills are pretty good, so you can ask Ziying to lend it to you for a few days."

Shen Sui'an: "The princess is surrounded by capable people."

"Ziying, tell me, are you willing to lend it to Princess Yuanjia for a few days?" Yongning asked an older palace maid.

"Your Highness, you are teasing me again." Ziying said helplessly.

Shen Sui'an took a look at the palace maid. She was about 25 years old. She had a woman's hairstyle, which meant she was not married yet.

A melodious and pleasant piano sound began to sound.

The guests who were chatting were instantly attracted to the show.

"Please enjoy the latest rouge from Huarong Pavilion." Qingluo walked out and bowed.

Afterwards, women with exquisite makeup walked out from the passages covered with gauze on both sides.

These women are of different ages and not all of them are particularly outstanding in appearance.

But the makeup on their faces is very delicate, giving people a bright feeling.

They walked in front of the crowd so that everyone could see the makeup on their faces more clearly.

"Is this all made with your rouge?" Yongning asked.

"Yes, if the princess is interested, she can let the palace maids around her go to Huarong Pavilion to learn. We have girls who specialize in teaching women how to put on makeup." Shen Sui'an said.

"Interesting." Yongning raised his eyebrows.

I've never seen business done this way.

Shen Suian raised his eyes and glanced at Fuqiu.

Fuqiu nodded slightly.

"Princess, try this peach blossom wine." Shen Suian said with a smile.

Everyone was talking about rouge and asking Shen Suian when it would be available in Huarong Pavilion.

Shen Sui'an: "These rouges are not easy to develop, and they need to be pre-ordered."

"We'll go to Huarong Pavilion to make a reservation tomorrow."

"Mrs. Lu, I really envy you. It's good not to have a mother-in-law to control you. You can do whatever you want."

Shen Sui'an looked at the person who was speaking. It was Madam He, the wife of Marquis Jingning.

She remembered that she did not send an invitation to Mrs. He, so how could she be here? She didn't even notice her just now.

"Mrs. He, isn't it the same for you?" Shen Sui'an said calmly.

Although Lu Yuan was good friends with He Hongkui, Shen Sui'an did not plan to have much contact with Mrs. He.

Madam He smiled and said, "Everyone used to say that the Shen family's daughter was rigid and boring. Now you have really slapped those people in the face. If the second young master Lu knew how capable you are, he would definitely regret keeping such a prostitute."

"You must be drunk, Mrs. He." Shen Sui'an's voice was slightly deep.
