Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 45 Choice 1
Since Shen Wanyu got the set of crystal bottles in Baibao Pavilion, she basically spent every morning in the alchemy room.

Qiuzhu's four big maids usually guard the yard at this time, not letting anyone in to disturb them.The queen mother's birthday banquet is approaching, and the Hou Mansion is also busy preparing gifts for her birthday.

Every year, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is watched by many people in Beininghou Mansion and Zhen Guogong Mansion. After all, the relationship between the two sides is very close to the Empress Dowager.

Yun Manrou's body is much better than before, and her pale face has become more bloody.She sat at the bottom of the old lady, and Aunt Su sat beside her and presented the gifts she had chosen.

"Mother, these are the ones chosen by my aunt Su. Let's see which one is better."

The corner of Yun Manrou's mouth curled up into a gentle smile, after choosing a lot of presents in the past few days, she finally chose these three.Dakun pays most attention to filial piety, so the final decision is still up to Mrs. Shen.

The old lady is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's approach, although she has already delegated power in the back house.But being so valued makes me feel more at ease.

"I'm old, Manrou, you decide. The Queen Mother is your aunt, and you should know what she likes."

Yun Manrou had a smile in her eyes when she heard this, she hadn't seen her aunt for a long time.In previous years, her health was too poor, and this birthday banquet was attended by the old lady and her second aunt with her two maids.

"Then let's choose this white jade statue of Avalokitesvara. My aunt has always believed in Buddhism. This will suit her very well."

"Okay, then give this." The old lady took Yun Manrou's hand, feeling a little emotional: "You haven't seen your mother and empress empress for a long time, and this time you enter the palace to have a look."

Yun Manrou's body trembled slightly due to excitement, compared to her happiness.The second aunt was almost annoyed to death in her heart, the old lady's words meant that she could no longer follow her this time.

Even though she was so annoyed to death, she knew she couldn't show it.However, she heard from her elder brother that the queen mother invited almost all the ministers' daughters to this birthday banquet.There is a faint tendency to choose a concubine for the prince, so she has to go back and think about it for this birthday banquet.

"Mom, since I chose this one, I'll take it down first and take care of it."

Not wanting to look at this picture of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being in harmony again, Second Aunt spoke with a smile on her lips.

"Well, then you can go down first." The old lady nodded and didn't keep her for a while.

The second aunt blessed her body and left with a few people.As soon as she left the Anlu Courtyard, the smile on her face gradually cooled down.

"Go and invite Second Miss to my place."

He coldly explained to the maid beside him, and walked directly towards his yard.

After Second Yiniang returned to the courtyard for a while, Shen Wanqing walked in with her maid.Seeing her mother's gloomy face, she immediately waved the maid beside her to get down.

There were only two people left in the inner room, and Shen Wanqing sat beside her.Frowning slightly, he took her arm and said.

"Mom, what's the matter? Did someone upset you?"

"Your uncle sent a message that the queen mother intends to choose a concubine for the crown prince at the birthday banquet." The second aunt didn't want to hide it from her daughter, her eyes fell on her own daughter.

Shen Wanqing's mind went blank when she heard the news.The prince is only 16 years old, how could he choose a concubine for him so early?
