Shangguan Yanran touched her face, winked mischievously, and said without any modesty, "Do I need to boast? The facts speak for themselves."
"Pfft!" Rong Qingqing burst out laughing. "Shangguan Yanran, you can be even more shameless."
Shangguan Yanran laughed too, "Anyway, you're not an outsider, so I can be a little shameless. By the way, what is this 'celebrity effect' you were talking about earlier?"
"The so-called celebrity effect is actually the influence brought by the celebrity himself. People have a psychology of imitating celebrities. For example, because you are the daughter of the current prime minister, your words and actions attract attention. In the capital, you are considered a celebrity. Whether it is your clothes, accessories, or the things you use, they are all good in the eyes of others, and they will rush to imitate them." Rong Qingqing explained simply.
Shangguan Yanran chuckled, "Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel like I've really become a celebrity?"
“You were quite a celebrity in the capital.”
“Then I really should thank my father,” Shangguan Yanran said with a smile.
"You have a good father," Rong Qingqing said sincerely. It was clear that Shangguan Yanran came from a very good family. This "good" didn't mean her father was a high-ranking official, but rather the kind of good family atmosphere. She had heard that Shangguan Boyan also came from a poor family, but through his own efforts and talent, he rose to become the prime minister, leading all the officials.
Lady Shangguan was his childhood sweetheart. What's remarkable is that after Shangguan Boyan became successful, he did not abandon his wife. To this day, he only has Lady Shangguan as his wife and has not taken any concubines.
Speaking of her family, Shangguan Yanran smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Yes, my father is very, very good. He looks rather serious and not easy to get close to, but in fact, he treats my mother and me very well."
Rong Qingqing nodded, "It's because you have a good family that you've developed such a carefree and easygoing personality." Compared to the original owner, Shangguan Yanran is undoubtedly very fortunate.
After the two sat and chatted for a while, Shangguan Yanran looked at the sky outside, stood up and said, "Since you have nothing else to do, I'll head back now and come see you another day. Zhu'er, bring up the gift I prepared for Qingqing."
"Yes," Zhu'er replied, walking in from outside and gently placing the gifts she was carrying on the table.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing smiled and stood up, saying, "It's good that you've come, why are you being so polite?"
"This is a bribe from someone to my father, a top-quality bird's nest. My father wanted to save it for my mother to nourish her body, but I was worried that my mother would get too fat, so I secretly stole some from the storeroom for you. Don't let my good intentions go to waste, you must stew it and eat it," Shangguan Yanran said, seemingly serious but actually feigning.
Rong Qingqing was amused by what she said, knowing she was joking, but still went along with it: "You dare to steal the tonics your father left for your mother, aren't you afraid your father will beat you?"
“He doesn’t really care about these things; his mind is full of national affairs.” Shangguan Yanran shrugged, then touched her smooth little face, and suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Take good care of yourself, and charm Lord Xie, then he won’t dare to be mean to you anymore. Just like my mother to my father. No matter how powerful my father is outside, he’s still obedient in front of my mother. If you tell him to go east, he won’t dare to go west.”
When Rong Qingqing heard the terrible idea she came up with, she was initially startled, but as she listened to the rest, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Are you telling me that your father is afraid of his wife?
