Chapter 682 Aunt Deng and Shen Tangqi
Soon, Aunt Deng and Shen Tangqi walked into the hall.
"This servant pays homage to the prince and princess."
"I pay my respects to my father, the king, and my mother."
King Gongxuan said expressionlessly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Father."
After Shen Tangqi stood up straight, he looked at Shen Hanrui and Shen Tangyu again: "Sister, third brother."
The two ignored him.
The princess was helpless. These two children were doing this again?
Shen Hanrui felt the gaze of her mother and said calmly, “Yes, second brother.”
Chen Tang Yuya said, "Second brother."
However, neither of them stood up, they remained seated and just nodded in response.
They are the children of the main wife, so even if the illegitimate children are older than them, it is okay for them not to get up.
Seeing this, Shen Tangqi's face looked a little ugly.
Last time, they didn't give them face in front of outsiders, and they won't give them face this time either.
Who would take him seriously with these guests?
King Gongxuan noticed that the atmosphere was not right and asked, "What's the matter, you two?"
Shen Tangqi came back to his senses and said seriously, "I heard that there were guests in the mansion, so I wanted to come over to meet them."
Aunt Deng said shyly, "I haven't seen the prince for a long time, so I asked my son to bring me along. Will the prince blame us?"
Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. This Aunt Deng was quite scheming. She blocked the way by speaking first.
Sure enough, King Gongxuan didn't chase her away for Shen Tangqi's sake. "Since you're here, let's eat together. The food will be served soon."
Aunt Deng was instantly delighted, bowed respectfully, and quickly sat down in her seat.
Chen Tangqi: "Thank you, Father, and thank you, Mother."
Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. In the books she had read before, concubines in Xuanling Kingdom were not qualified to sit at the same table with the mistress. They could only stand by and serve.
It is probably because Aunt Deng gave birth to Chen Tangqi, and Chen Tangqi was the only male in the palace who was related to Prince Gongxuan by blood, so Prince Gongxuan gave face to Chen Tangqi.
The princess obviously knew what Prince Gongxuan was thinking. She suddenly looked at Song Hexiu and said apologetically, "Aman's father, I'm sorry to bother you. You weren't here last time. Let me introduce you. This is Shen Tangqi, the prince's second son, born to Aunt Deng."
Song Hexiu stood up and said politely, "Second Young Master, Aunt Deng."
"No need to stand up, just sit down and talk." The princess looked at Chen Tangqi again, "This is Master Song, Song Hexiu, the father of these children."
Chen Tangyu nodded and asked, "I wonder where Young Master Song is doing?"
Song Hexiu didn't shy away, "I'm currently studying and just took the Tongshi exam."
Aunt Deng immediately felt contempt in her heart.
At such an old age, he actually just took part in the children's exam?
She also had someone investigate the background of these children after they left last time.
He is just a fisherman's child.
I heard that Song Hexiu is 28 years old this year, but has achieved nothing.
The children taught by them are probably not that good.
Thinking of this, she didn't look happy towards Song Chuman and the others.
However, since the prince and princess were still here, she didn't do anything too obvious.
However, children are the most sensitive and they also feel that Aunt Deng dislikes them, so they don't show much expression to her.
Song Hexiu was not a fool and could see the contempt in Aunt Deng's eyes.
But he didn't take it to heart.
He had seen this expression many times over the years.
