Princess Regent

Chapter 108
On the day of the old lady of the Chu family's birthday banquet, Shangguan Erlan specially dressed herself up in a red gauze dress, wearing gold and silver jewelry that symbolized her identity, and even wore a few jade bracelets on her hands.

It can be said that the dress from the feet to the top of the head shows her nobility.

"Princess, why do you have to dress up so grandly for a birthday banquet?" Nalan An asked puzzledly as she put on a pair of red pendant earrings.It stands to reason that Shangguan Erlan is full of nobility, and this attire fully shows her nobility, and there is nothing unusual about her.

But Nalan'an and Yun Xiao were used to her life without trimming, so it was strange that she even dressed up regardless of other people's strange eyes.

Shangguan Erlan raised her slender fingers and fiddled with them for a few times, but she still didn't look as good-looking as Xi Jinye, put her hands down in frustration, and said, "Oh, my concubine hasn't been back to Chu State since she married into the Prince Regent's mansion. Man, this is the first time I will be a 'maiden', well, I have to dress up no matter what, lest people say that I don't know how to flatter my princess, ah, it's hard to be a human being, and it's even harder to be a princess, what do you understand?"

Nalan An suddenly looked sad, well, they don't understand.

"Yun Xiao, take this princess' present and leave."

"Yes!" Yun Xiao responded, walked over and picked up a wooden box on the table.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Lezi, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, ran up to hold her hand and walked with her.Such a mighty addition to the palace.

Sitting in the carriage, she held Xiao Lezi in her arms, and said to the people outside: "Remember, for this princess, take your time and walk slowly."

"Yes!"

Thus, the slowest horse-drawn carriage in history appeared. The horse-drawn carriage that originally only took half a quarter of an hour to arrive at the Chu family took an entire envoy to finally arrive.

At the door of Daomen Chu's house, there were almost no guests coming and going, all the invited guests were present, and the only thing missing was the expensive princess in front of him.

After getting off the carriage, Shangguan Erlan ignored everyone's stunned expressions and led them into Chu's house.

The butler of the Chu family also recognized the person who came after being stunned, and hurried forward, saying: "Congratulations to the princess and the little prince, please come here from the princess." After saying that, he took her to another entrance.

The front yard is for male guests, while the female guests are in another yard.

This royal banquet can be shared by men and women, but for such family banquets, female guests and male guests are still separated.When sometimes the situation will become different, we can be together, but there are not many.The Chu family wanted to congratulate the old matriarch on her birthday this time. It would be good if a woman came to congratulate her, while the man was in the front hall.

Before entering the courtyard, Shangguan Erlan heard laughter from inside. She paused and stopped walking.

The butler explained: "Princess, all the guests who should come have come, and the old lady is chatting with the female guests."

Shangguan Erlan nodded.

"Mother-in-law, they really don't understand the rules. The mother-in-law is the one with the highest status among them, but they have a banquet before the mother-in-law arrives, so they don't take her seriously." Said softly to Shangguan Erlan.

The butler gasped when he heard this, and opened his eyes to look at Shangguan Erlan, fearing that she would get angry and convict her.

"Hey, what are you talking about, children, here... but your mother's natal family, hehehehe." She said, and suddenly laughed out strangely, which scared the housekeeper and the maid who led the way to sweat on their foreheads. .

They are all "old men" of the Chu family, and they are very clear about Chu Xianglan's status as servants of the Chu family.But now the situation has changed, she has won the favor of the Prince Regent, and with the backing of a young prince, no one in Lianyang Kingdom would dare to presumptuously presumptuously on her.

How this natal family doesn't know about her, but she herself doesn't know?

This time, the purpose of coming back is probably not to congratulate, but to...

"Princess Regent arrives—"

The voice sounded, and the girls who were laughing in the yard were stunned for a moment, and they all looked up at the figure outside the gate of the yard in unison.Sure enough, the red figure was slowly walking towards them, and she was holding a delicate and lovely child in her hand. The corners of the girl's mouth were raised, her steps were slow, and she was dressed in a luxurious body. Can't tolerate others.

Seeing Shangguan Erlan approaching with a smile on her face, the high-ranking old lady's eyes were shocked, but she slowed down after a while, and watched her walking steadily.And on both sides of her, Nalan'an and Yun Xiao were guarding her, which made everyone around her feel uneasy.

Chu Xiangliu was also taken aback, why did she come back?

"Hey, before this princess arrives, everyone has already started playing first? Madam, it's your fault." She led Xiao Lezi to the high seat with a smile, and said with a light smile.

The old matriarch also smiled lightly, and said: "I don't know that the Prince Regent's Mansion is coming, so I'm not far away to welcome you."

"Huh? I don't know? The Chu family sent a message to the Prince Regent, and the princess came here with Le'er, but the Chu family didn't know about it?" She exclaimed, looking shocked.

The old lady turned pale.

Xi Luoyun stood up, supported the old matriarch by the side, and said to Shangguan Erlan: "How could the Chu family not know about the post, but the concubine came late, making us think that the regent is not here?" will be present."

Shangguan Erlan nodded, "Yes, that's right. The Regent has so many things to do every day, how can he have time to attend a birthday banquet that happens every day?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless, and no one dared to answer.If it is done, it is disrespect to the old lady and affirmation of the regent.In front of this old lady, it is better not to let her down the stage.

The old matriarch smiled kindly, but she was not facing Shangguan Erlan, but Nalan An and Yun Xiao: "I don't know that the third prince and Miss Nalan are coming, please come and give me your seat."

Well, I added seats for Nalan An and Yun Xiao, but ignored the princess.This old lady really dares to sit down.

The servants set up two tables and invited the two to sit there.

However, Nalan'an and Yun Xiao stood like two door gods, ignoring each other.What's more, he didn't even give the old lady a look, and didn't give him a lot of face!

The old matriarch's complexion is also not very good-looking, she is flattering them, but they don't know how to flatter them!

Seeing this, Shangguan Erlan chuckled lightly.The laughter fell into the ears of the monks, but it sounded like a mockery, and they all stared at her with unkind faces.

"Ahem!" Laughing exaggeratedly, she coughed lightly and eased her throat before saying, "I said, isn't the old matriarch confused? Nalan'an and Yunxiao are not Miss Nalan, the third prince. It’s nothing more than the servants under the concubine’s command. Well, or is it that the old matriarch has this habit of not knowing the honorable guests to be seated, but prefers to invite the servants of the lower ranks to be seated? Oh, the concubine understands, if you can sit, It seems that they have the same status as Nalan An." She said with a smile, and she was so angry that she couldn't pay for her life.

"Where is the princess, please sit down, Miss Nalan and His Royal Highness Yun Xiao, because the emperor values ​​them. The position of the princess has already been arranged." After Xi Ruoyun finished speaking, she saw a servant carrying a seat more noble than theirs. The tables are set out.

This is unbiased, right in the middle on the left side.

Shangguan Erlan smiled, and led Xiao Lezi to Chu Xiangliu on her own. When the other party stared at her fiercely, she raised her hand, and when the other party had no time to fight back, she threw her out!
"Ah!" Chu Xiangliu's body fell into the grass like a kite.

"Liu'er!" the old lady and Xi Ruoyun exclaimed, and many female guests looked up nervously.

Shangguan Erlan ignored the crowd, and sat on Chu Xiangliu's seat. Facing the Chu family's angry expressions, the old god said, "Oh, it seems that the Chu family is really dying, even the face of this princess I don’t know. You are very angry that my princess took action to educate Chu Xiangliu? How many people begged my princess to do it, you Chu family, don’t know how to flatter you!” Sitting on the seat, leaning on Nalan’s waist On the soft cushion that An moved, she sat there comfortably and lazily, leaning against her body, with a flat smile on the corner of her mouth.

By now, everyone has seen it.This princess is here to find fault!

Unfortunately, the princes and ladies of the Chu family didn't know how to flatter them, so Chu Xiangliu was thrown out, and the old matriarch's face was also lost.

"Is the princess just threatening us?"

"Threat?" Shangguan Erlan whimpered, turned her head and glanced at Chu Xiangliu, whom the maid rushed to help up in the grass, and smiled viciously, "This is Chu Xiangliu who is regarded as a genius by your Chu family? But that's all, this concubine is still a good-for-nothing, she was thrown out lightly by a good-for-nothing, and she has no power to fight back, it's really shameful!" She said, feeling overwhelmed.

"Bastard..." The old lady was about to scold Shangguan Erlan angrily, but Xi Yaoyun hurriedly covered her mouth.

Shangguan Erlan turned her head and asked with a smile: "You bastard? Something? Is the old matriarch scolding my concubine?"

"Bold! Dare to scold my mother-in-law, don't die!" Xiao Lezi screamed.

Shangguan Erlan raised her head and patted his little head, telling him to be calm, the show hasn't started yet, so don't make the protagonist faint.

"Little son, princess, the old matriarch is not talking about you, but the maid over there is too slow." Xi Yaoyun laughed.

She could still smile after seeing this appearance, Shangguan Erlan suddenly had the urge to tear off her smiling face.

Nalan An observed the most carefully. Seeing Shangguan Erlan looking at Xi Ruoyun, her fingers were still twitching uneasily, knowing that some of her bad desires/thoughts were about to start again, so she said, "Princess, are you here?" Have you carefully prepared a birthday gift for the old lady? The gift has not been sent out yet." So you still need to be patient, and be patient.

Sure enough, Shangguan Erlan was overjoyed in an instant, and her smile became brighter and brighter. "Almost forgot, Princess Ben came here today to congratulate the old matriarch on his longevity and well-being, Yun Xiao, send the gift up."

"Yes!" Yun Xiao took the box and walked out.

Nalan An smiled and said: "Old Madam, this gift is a treasure that our princess has been looking for for a long time in Yunxiao. There is only one in the world. I hope the old matriarch will accept it with a smile. Don't let our princess down."

The baby you found after training for a long time?Everyone is confused again, didn't the princess come to find fault?This is such a precious gift, is it to seek peace, or to find fault?
