After seeing Zhao Ying wearing it, Zhao Yao could only continue to lie to herself that Zhao Ying had forced her to snatch it away.
What's more, she lied to herself that Shangguan Shu wanted to use the huge South Pearl to drown Zhao Ying. He must hate her deeply!
In fact, let alone robbing them, Zhao Ying didn't even know that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had such South Pearls.
Shangguan Shu gave it to me without hesitation.
When Shangguan Shu heard about Princess Side wearing the Dongzhu, he thought to himself that although I don’t love her, I was just lying to her blah blah blah... But how could Zhao Ying be outdone in such a thing?
He is not a stingy husband who treats his wife harshly!
When he went to Ganyuan to "sleep with the emperor" at night, he happily brought a box of South Pearls with him.
When Shangguan Shu saw Zhao Ying's happy smile, he secretly said in his heart, "Hmph woman, you only deserve my beads, not my heart!"
As everyone gathered closer, Princess Xian had to open Zhao Ying's gift and show it to everyone.
The result was a white jade Guanyin, which is of excellent quality and has good meaning.
The virtuous king curled his lips imperceptibly, thinking that Master Cheng Qianguo was stupid and had a lot of money.
When he ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to confiscate Cheng Qian’s mansion and fill the national treasury!
Princess Xian exchanged some pleasantries and the banquet began.
The guests took their seats.
Zhao Ying was naturally sitting at the same table with the virtuous prince and his wife, as well as Shangguan Shu. Shangguan Qingyue was between Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu, and the family of three was inexplicably reunited.
The virtuous king was unaware of the conflict between Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Zhu, and he also brought Shangguan Zhu and Shen to the main table.
The table is full of smart people, so of course they won’t show anything in such an occasion.
So the meal was quite harmonious.
The virtuous prince said to Zhao Ying, "Cheng Qian, try your sister-in-law's cooking. She spent the whole day preparing this dish to thank you for the prescription."
Zhao Ying was flattered. He looked at the virtuous princess and said modestly, "My Royal Brother, what are you talking about? The Royal Sister-in-law's pregnancy is a blessing for her. My prescription is just an ordinary inducement..."
The virtuous king and his wife were very pleased to hear this.
The virtuous princess took the opportunity to apologize to Zhao Ying, saying it was nothing more than the incident in Chongqing Palace that day. Zhao Ying said sadly that she had not expected Zhao Yao to be like this. "My royal brother and his wife, don't worry. I know you didn't mean it..."
The three of them spoke nice words.
Shangguan Shu was so focused on feeding the baby that he didn't eat much. He was only busy feeding Shangguan Qingyue, and the little guy's mouth was bulging with food.
Everyone was a little surprised at the scene before them. In every household, the woman was in charge of the household and the man was in charge of the outside affairs. But how come when it came to Princess Chengqian, she was chatting with someone while the former Prince Consort was feeding the baby...
The female members of the family were surprised and envious. In the past, they only thought that Princess Chengqian was seizing the Prince of Zhenguo by force. However, judging from the various rumors and recent observations, it seems that the Prince of Zhenguo has already fallen deeply in love with Princess Chengqian.
In the past, they thought that the Prince of Zhenguo was only fond of Princess Chengqian out of consideration for the Emperor's sake. Now, when they think about it, they suddenly feel happy.
Finally, Shangguan Qingyue raised his hand and said incoherently, "Daddy, I'm full!"
Shangguan Shu put down his chopsticks and wiped Shangguan Qingyue's mouth and hands. When he was done, Shangguan Qingyue leaned close to Shangguan Shu's ear and whispered, "Daddy, I'll tell you a secret!"
As Shangguan Qingyue spoke, his eyes unconsciously fell on the virtuous princess opposite him.
"Go ahead, Daddy is listening!"
There was a lot of noise all around, and no one paid attention to the whispers of the father and daughter.
"I'm telling you, Aunt Xian Wangfei wants to harm my mother, so my mother said today's banquet will be called... the Turtle Banquet..."
Shangguan Shu: ? ?
"Dad, do you know about the Turtle Banquet? It's about a man named Turtle inviting people to dinner, and then... and then..."
The little guy's eyebrows knitted together, "Who did you invite? Oops, why can't I remember?"
Shangguan Shu raised his eyebrows, "Liu Bang..."
What about the turtle? If the King of Western Chu heard this, he would be able to swim up the Wu River!
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Liu Bang! And then..."
The little guy told Shangguan Shu the story of the "Turtle Banquet" in great detail. Shangguan Shu listened patiently until the end, when the little guy said seriously, "Daddy, so Yue'er came here to protect Mommy!"
"Will you help me protect my mother?"
Shangguan Shu smiled, rubbed the little guy's head, and said, "What a coincidence, Daddy is here to protect your mother too!"
The little girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she remained silent. "Hmm? Daddy isn't still worried about my mother, is he?"
[What a mistake! I shouldn't have invited him.]
[I finally snatched my mother away, I can't let my father take advantage of me!]
Shangguan Shu: ...
Shangguan Shu looked at his daughter's mischievous eyes, smiled helplessly, and reassured the little girl, "Don't worry, Yue'er, when we save your mother, all the credit will be yours, and daddy won't compete with you."
"Really?" Shangguan Qingyue still didn't quite believe it.
Shangguan Shu stretched out his hand and said, "Let's high-five to swear!"
Shangguan Qingyue smiled when he saw this, stretched out his chubby little paws, and slapped his father's big palm hard.
Shangguan Shu curled his lips meaningfully.
Shangguan Qingyue wanted to discuss countermeasures with Shangguan Shu, but Shangguan Shu just told her not to worry, he had made all the arrangements, and Shangguan Qingyue felt relieved.
Here, Princess Xian felt that it was about time, so she wanted to invite Zhao Ying into the house to chat. Zhao Ying heard Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts and knew Princess Xian's trick, so naturally she couldn't be alone with her.
Princess Xian tried every trick she could, but Zhao Ying refused to take any.
Shangguan Shu watched silently, and couldn't help but cover his lips and cough lightly to hide his smile.
He knew that Zhao Ying could hear Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts, so he was not worried.
Seeing that Zhao Ying did not accept the challenge, Princess Xian could not force him and expose her weakness, so she had to find an excuse, saying that she was a little tired and went back to rest for a while.
I'll figure it out after I leave.
After Princess Xian left, Xiao Liu from another table also stood up, claiming that she couldn't hold her liquor and wanted to walk around to sober up.
Shangguan Shu picked up Shangguan Qingyue and said to Lord Wang, "Will you accompany me for a walk?"
Lord Wang hurriedly put down his wine cup and said, "I'm coming right over!"
Shangguan Shu thought about it and invited Zhao Ying as well. His daughter Ying loved to watch the fun the most. How could he not bring her to such a fun-filled event?
"With the princess?"
Zhao Ying understood the hint in Shangguan Shu's eyes and stood up despite being puzzled. "Okay."
Seeing this, the virtuous prince was disdainful, thinking that Shangguan Shu was just being polite, so Cheng Qian agreed. To prevent Zhao Ying from forcing Shangguan Shu to marry, the virtuous prince planned to watch and said, "I will go with you!"
Shangguan Zhu saw this and said, "Princess, Prince, Big Brother, I'll go shopping with you too!"
Shangguan Shu curled his lips and chuckled, "It's okay, it's okay, it's good that everyone is here!"
Lord Wang was a little puzzled, but he kept silent.
The group set off in a long line.
…
The virtuous princess left with her maid. When she reached a rockery, she stopped and pulled out a stack of paper from her sleeve. On each paper were written: [Xiao Liushi, a moment, rockery]
[Zhou Wangshi, 2 engraved, Minghu]
[Tips to Concubine Fei, three quarters of an hour, Inner Courtyard Wing Room]
[Li, 4:00, firewood room]
[Shen's, five minutes, stable]
It was exactly one o'clock in the evening, and it was time for her to meet her beloved Xiao Liu.
