"Lele, you are back, where have you been?" Mother Wang Huilan asked with concern.
"Qiu Yu and I went shopping in Dongcheng District. This Dongcheng District is really lively. Mom, I'm a little tired. Let's go back to Bieyuan to rest."
"Well, then go and have a rest." Since my daughter recovered from dementia, she has become considerate, sensible, and methodical in doing things. She is very reluctant to leave when she thinks that she will get married soon.
An hour later, Leng Dian returned to the Yijing Pavilion of the palace and reported: "Master, Su Qinghe and Su Yixing, father and son are honest officials. Su Lele is Su Qinghe's second daughter. She has suffered from dementia since she was a child. She recovered from the illness more than a month ago. All kinds of snacks currently sold in the house that are in short supply are made by Su Lele."
Leng Yichen's black eyes moved: "Well, let's go out."
I haven't opened a shop yet, and now I'm just selling snacks in the house. I just want to take advantage of the situation. How brave!
Lengfeng was very surprised after listening to it, thinking: These snacks are all made by Miss Su. I thought they were made by the chef in her house, he is quite ingenious.
Su Lele suffered from insomnia again. She sat on the round table in the pavilion in the garden early in the morning, picking bright flowers one by one, and chattering while picking: Agree, disagree, agree, disagree...disagree.
No, try again... Agree, disagree...
Why is there no news yet? Could it be that he really rejected my good idea? The arrogant Leng Yichen doesn't look like an ignorant person.
Su Lele has always been confident and confident.
At the same time, the one who suffered from insomnia was Yun Zhishu, the daughter of Lord Shangshu. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep. She spent the whole night longing for a happy future life with the second prince.
Seeing that the birthday of the second prince Leng Yichen was approaching, her wish was about to come true. Everyone said that she and the second prince were a perfect match, regardless of family background, talent, appearance, and everything else.
For him, she never got married. It has never been heard that he has a woman he likes. As long as he waits until his birthday, the palace will betroth him to a suitable woman. As a prince, the officials in the palace will definitely take him seriously. That candidate is most likely to be her, and it must be her.
After Su Lele finished lunch, she made snacks with her servants in the dining room.
"Mother Guan, we can make more fruit peels and fried pine nuts every day, and these can be stored for a period of time. The chestnuts and pastries are made fresh every day to ensure they are fresh. If there are more left in the evening, they can be sold cheaper."
"Okay, miss, pastries and chestnuts are also very popular at the moment. They are cleared out as soon as they are baked every day."
Grandma Guan responded with a smile as she put the hawthorn cake into the oil paper bag.
Thanks to the lady, she can now eat pastries that are more delicious than those from Daoxiang Pastry Shop every day.
"Miss, there is a man who wants to ask you something. He is in the side hall." Uncle Chen came to report.
Su Lele knew who was looking for her as soon as she heard this, and ordered Qiu Yu to take two bags of various snacks and bring them to the side hall. Then he went to the side hall.
"Miss Su, the master wants you to go to the mansion."
"OK."
Su Lele once again stepped into the palace gate with uneasiness.
Yijing Court Study Room
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Su Lele was still a little worried.
"Well, I agree to cooperate with you and divorce after two years of marriage. I have already written the agreement."
Su Lele looked at the content of the agreement seriously and rigorously, and said, "Can I add to the agreement: am I allowed to make snacks in the palace?"
"Um."
After confirming that it was correct, Su Lele wrote his name.
"Your Majesty, will the Emperor and Queen agree to this marriage?"
"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to keep the secret, don't cross the line, and do what you should do."
"Also, tomorrow I will go to the Su Mansion to hire someone, and we will get married in five days." Leng Yichen always likes to make quick decisions in his work style.
ha! So fast?
"Then I'll wait for you tomorrow. I brought some snacks to the palace. The prince can try it to see if it suits his taste." After Su Lele finished speaking, he ordered Qiu Yu, the maid waiting outside the study, to bring in the snacks.
After Su Lele walked out of the palace, she encouraged herself: Although she was about to get married and had been living with the taciturn prince for two years, it was already rare that she could continue to make snacks, do business, and go out freely.
Imperial Palace Jiyue Palace
"The Ai family is very optimistic about Yun Zhishu, the daughter of Master Shangshu. She is knowledgeable and sensible, and she is a good match for Yichen."
"I feel that Zhu Jinxi, the daughter of the Prime Minister, has a good appearance regardless of her family background."
The graceful Queen Mother and the gentle and virtuous Queen are worrying about the marriage of the second prince Leng Yichen.
At this time the parties came.
"Your Majesty sends his regards to the Imperial Grandmother and Queen Mother."
"Yichen, you're here. Come and take a look at these two portraits to see which girl you are attracted to." The Queen Mother waved to Leng Yichen.
"Royal Grandmother, I already have someone I like. I came to the palace today to inform the Imperial Grandmother, my father, and my mother."
"Hurry up and tell the Ai family which family your daughter is from."
"Su Lele, the daughter of the ninth-rank official Su Qinghe, will be hired tomorrow."
"Why... why are you in such a hurry? Will you be able to make the appointment tomorrow?" The queen has always been open-minded and doesn't attach much importance to a good match. Now that her son does not have to wait for the last step of being arranged to match a woman, she is relieved.
"There's enough time, the government is already making preparations."
"Mother Yang, go to my warehouse and bring some jewelry, fine rouge, gouache, cloth, rare treasures, and precious medicinal materials into a few large boxes for Yichen."
The queen also added a lot.
"My son has brought some snacks for you to eat. There are sugar-fried chestnuts, salt-baked pine nuts, original pine nuts, fish balls, hawthorn cakes, and three kinds of pastries. You have never eaten these. I also brought the fruit peel."
Hearing that there were so many snacks, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to take a bite of the fish balls: "Hmm~ The teeth are springy, the meat is firm and delicious."
"This pastry is too soft and full of milk flavor." The queen ate a piece of milk bread.
They were all delicious, and the Queen Mother tasted several snacks in succession.
"The Ai family has already finished the fruit peel you brought last time, and has been waiting for you to bring some more." The Queen Mother stared pitifully at her second imperial grandson.
"Yes, I heard that these snacks are very popular in the capital, and the daily supply exceeds demand."
"If you like it, I'll bring it to you next time. I'm going back to the palace first."
Knowing that Leng Yichen had to rush back to work on his marriage, he didn't leave him alone.
Not long after returning to the palace, the housekeeper came to report: "The prince and the princess learned that the master is going to hire someone tomorrow, so they have given you some gifts."
"Bring some of the remaining snacks to the Prince's Mansion and give them to my nephew and niece to try."
"Okay, Master."
In the evening, the Su family gathered in the dining room for dinner. Grandfather looked at Su Lele and said, "Granddaughter, I have something to tell you." Su Dong planned to tell Su Lele about the marriage so that she could be mentally prepared. .
"I know what you are going to say. I heard your chatting in your villa a few days ago. Someone will come to the house tomorrow to apply for a job. You don't have to worry about finding another husband for me."
Everyone looked surprised and didn't quite believe what she said. She found her husband to marry her so quickly.
"The husband of that mansion." Su Yixing asked eagerly.
"You will know tomorrow. I'm full and will go back to the garden first." Su Lele did not immediately tell them that the person coming to hire tomorrow was the second prince. Firstly, he was afraid that they would not believe it, and secondly, he was also afraid that his family would object. Tomorrow the second prince will come to the house to recruit people, and they will definitely not refuse on the spot.
