Chapter 88: Banquet



The queen has almost recovered now. She woke up the day the prince entered the palace because of the mother-son bond. In the past two days, the prince has been dressed all the time, which makes her both relieved and distressed. She always asks him to rest, but he just lies on the bed and sleeps for a short while every day. Fortunately, his illness has not recurred, otherwise she would have been so distressed!

The queen thought that the child was weak since childhood and had fetal toxins that had not yet been cleared, so she was afraid that he would not live long. However, she did not expect that this little life was very tenacious. He grew up day by day and became so handsome and filial. She was grateful to God in her heart. She always prayed to God to transfer all the hardships to herself so that the prince could grow up healthily and become a wise ruler. It would not matter if she died immediately.

But things don't always go as planned. She fell ill all of a sudden, and the root cause of the prince's illness has not been cured. She couldn't believe it. The best doctors in the world were in the palace, but why couldn't they cure the prince's illness?

The emperor was also very angry about this!

It's just a pity for those imperial doctors, who have tried every possible way!

Now the queen is out of danger.

Those who prayed in Yuehua Temple were rewarded by the emperor!

Every young man and young lady received a reward. Prince Ning and Prince Kang also returned to the palace. When the emperor saw them, he looked very good. He praised them for their good work and their filial piety!

It was not easy to get the emperor's praise. They returned to their respective residences happily. When Concubine Shu saw her son coming back, she did not look very happy. Prince Kang showed his mother the things his father had rewarded him with. Concubine Shu sighed, "These things are not something I have never seen before... Come here, I want to ask you, why did the prince come back so suddenly?"

Hearing her ask this, Prince Kang frowned and said, "There must be something wrong with this matter. If the prince is really in Yuehua Temple, why wouldn't he return to the palace to visit the queen? But everyone in the temple said that he was playing chess with the abbot, and we can't investigate further..."

Concubine Shu's eyes showed coldness: "The prince is lucky, but the queen is not destined to die. We have to wait a little longer. Son, remember, this matter is over. In the future, you must be careful when encountering problems. Besides, the prince seems to be smarter than we thought, and not as absurd as the rumors outside..."

King Kang was deeply touched by this point, he had already experienced it!

After Prince Ning came back, Concubine Yan didn't say anything, but instead praised her son for his progress.

********

Inside the general's mansion.

Lian Jinrong and An Yanran, mother and daughter, were busy as hell, directing people to order menus, having people decorate the yard, and drawing up a list of VIP guests. How could such important people not be able to see them?

Lian Jinrong was extremely happy. She let the three of them have fun in Yuehua Temple. She decided to send someone to invite the general back on the day of the banquet. By then, even if he was surprised, he would not boast about his grand and beautiful preparations. But the world would know her ability from then on!

Look who is in charge of the General’s Mansion now?

"Mother, please take another look at this list!" An Yanran handed the letter to Lian Jinrong.

In fact, Lian Jinrong believed that her daughter could do this well, because sometimes, her mind was more meticulous than her own. She took a look and said, "Well, not bad, your list is good. We should invite those we are familiar with, and those who are close to Lian Jinyu, of course, we should also invite... The Lian family is good, and the Lou family, well, I just don't know if they will show me the honor!"

"Mother, since the invitation is issued in the name of the general, they will naturally give some face. Besides, it will be fine if only one or two of their people come. It would be embarrassing if more than one came..." An Yanran said meaningfully.

Lian Jinrong smiled when she heard this. She stroked An Yanran's little face and said, "My son, you shouldn't be so smart. You should pretend to be stupid and accumulate some blessings!"

An Yanran shook her head: "If I must be overshadowed by her, how can I be blessed in this life? Mother, I only know that if you don't fight for some things, they won't fall on your head. So, this general's mansion has me, right?"

"You little bitch, you have no respect for your parents. You even make fun of your mother. If your father hears you, he will skin you alive!" Lian Jinrong pretended to be angry.

"Daddy naturally has no time to pay attention to us right now. He must not know what kind of show we have prepared for him!" An Yanran's eyes were icy and frighteningly cold.

Lian Jinrong sighed: "If you think about it, who would want to be like this? Who wouldn't want to be born with unlimited glory..."

But she was born as a concubine, and this was not something she could choose!

Now that she had the chance to do something for her daughter, how could she possibly hold back?

"Second Madam, the housekeeper sent me to ask, which screen should we use? Is it the black jade one bestowed by the emperor, or the double-gauze one with the Five Blessings pattern sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xiao Cui came closer and asked weakly.

Lian Jinrong's face turned cold when she heard this. She raised her hand and slapped Xiao Cui: "Tell me what you said, why didn't I hear it clearly?"

"Second Madam..."

As soon as Xiao Cui said this, Lian Jinrong's eyes turned sideways. She was so scared that she hurriedly said, "Madam, the housekeeper is busy..."

"Use the one bestowed by the Emperor. There is no reason why we should use the one from the Prime Minister's Mansion instead of the one bestowed by the Emperor!" Lian Jinrong said coldly.

The little maidservant stroked her face and went downstairs. Until she walked out of the door, she seemed to understand something. It was because she couldn't speak. The maids with status and position had all called her "Madam" unanimously. As long as the eldest Madam was not around, the servants below would call her that. How could she have forgotten it?

He deserves to be beaten!

However, she didn't think so in her eyes. She was so angry that when she saw that there was no one around, she spat and left in a hurry.

Xiao Cui was beaten the most often, so she naturally felt unfair.

"Mother, why are you angry with the little girl? Now is our golden age, how can you care about them?" An Yanran was very open-minded and didn't care about her mother's behavior.

Lian Jinrong smiled: "When they come back, I don't know what kind of anger they will suffer. I might as well use this power while I am still in power. It will be invalid after the expiration date, right?"

"Let them do whatever they want when they come back. We just have to be careful. Now that grandma is here, we can take advantage of their absence to give them a good lesson. I don't know who would dare to go against the old lady. She must be so impatient to live! However, after all, grandma doesn't interact with us often. Instead, she lives with uncle. I don't know if she will love us?" An Yanran sighed.

"No matter what she does, there is no reason to love a granddaughter but not a grandson! Mingxuan, come here!" Lian Jinrong called An Mingxuan, who had been playing at the door, in, "Did you remember what I told you?"

An Mingxuan nodded: "I will see grandma tomorrow and try to please her..."

"Well, as long as you understand, remember, you are the eldest son of the general's mansion, do you understand?" An Yanran said.

An Mingxuan nodded: "I understand, I will try my best to do well!"

An Yanran looked at him in surprise: "You..."
