Chapter 951 Preference and Exceptions
There is no time to delay any longer.
Shi Li stopped hesitating and dressed according to her rank. Then she got on the carriage sent by the palace and went to the palace to meet the queen.
The Queen's palace is magnificent.
When she was in the Cheng Mansion, the Queen was very fond of skin care. Now that she is the Queen and has better conditions, it makes no sense for her not to pursue enjoyment.
After Shi Li knelt down to salute, she looked up and saw the queen looking at her with a smile on her face. Her rich clothes made her look even more radiant.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you feel so distant with me, Lili? Come and sit down." The Queen was unaware of Shi Li's concerns and waved to her as usual.
Shi Li walked up obediently and sat next to him.
"I asked you to come here this time because I want to hear your opinion on something. I am a little undecided."
The queen still treated Shi Li as her own. She sighed slightly and asked the palace people around her to leave.
"Yesterday, His Majesty came to me and said that he wanted to marry Shan Zhu to Yan Yu. I don't know what kind of person Yan Yu is. I heard that you and Shan Zhu met him once before. What do you think?"
It turned out to be this.
Shi Li made up her mind, and following the Queen's words, she thought of Yan Yu, whom she had met once on the street.
Firstly, his appearance was undoubtedly qualified; secondly, he was able to capture several cities in a row, proving that he was capable; thirdly, he was able to judge the situation and surrender to the Li Dynasty, proving that he was a smart man.
But all this can only prove that Yan Yu is a capable man; as for whether he is a good husband and son-in-law, Shi Li is not sure.
Looking at the Queen's earnest gaze, Shi Li did not dare to be negligent and expressed his views seriously.
The queen listened carefully and sighed slowly after listening.
"If Shanzhu marries him, she will probably have no worries about wealth and glory. But... Shanzhu has a stubborn personality."
As the saying goes, raising a child is a matter of worry for ninety-nine years, and this is true for the queen. Cheng Danzhu was her only daughter, and she had been pampered since she was a child.
As a daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, Shi Li did not dare to speak rashly. After a moment's silence, she looked at the queen and said, "Why don't you ask Shan Zhu herself?"
In ancient times, people paid attention to parents' orders, but Cheng Danzhu's status was different. She was the first legitimate princess of noble status in the Li Dynasty, so it could not be excessive to attach great importance to her.
"That's right, you have to ask Shanzhu yourself, otherwise you won't be happy in the future."
The queen clapped her hands gently, and then asked the palace maid beside her to call Cheng Danzhu over immediately.
While waiting, the Queen remembered to sort out her own stock and had someone pack a whole box of pearl powder made from the finest pearls for Shi Li.
"It's good to be in the palace. The pearl powder is much better than what I used before. You can take it back and try it."
Shi Li didn't bother to be polite with her. She just chuckled and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I originally thought that the Queen Mother would not be able to adapt, but I was worrying too much."
"What's there to be uncomfortable about?" The Queen patted Shi Li's shoulder with a smile, "I have a son and status, so why should I worry about other things?"
After Cheng Yuan became emperor, many noble families in Anning gave him many women. Cheng Yuan had no moral integrity in this regard, so he accepted all of them and even made one of them a concubine, doting on her.
But the queen had a good attitude. She and Cheng Yuan had gotten used to all kinds of women around him over the years. She usually focused on taking care of herself and didn't care about the women in the harem at all.
[The Queen is truly a role model for our generation! ]
[I will never be obsessed with love! But I can be obsessed with money! 】
[As long as the money is in place, I can take care of the mistresses during the confinement period, and I guarantee you will be satisfied~]
The public screen was as weird as ever, but without the crazy fans of a certain princess, Shi Li found it pleasing to the eye.
After chatting casually with the Queen about family matters, Cheng Danzhu arrived.
Her status is no longer the same as before, and she is followed by a large number of palace servants. When she saw Shi Li, her eyes immediately lit up. She asked everyone to step back, and then, as before, she held Shi Li's arm intimately.
"Mother wants to ask you, what do you think about marrying Yan Yu?" Shi Li cooperated with her and asked softly.
