Princess Regent

Chapter 224 The Holy Maiden
Early the next morning, Shangguan Erlan brought Xiao Lezi into the palace.

On the way to Zhao Ru'er's dormitory, he unexpectedly met Chongfei.These days, Concubine Chong has put in a lot of effort to get rid of the child in Li Mengxuan's stomach, but to no avail. As time goes by, it will be time for her to give birth. She must not watch such a child be born. , and may eventually take away everything she has now.

Seeing Shangguan Erlan leading Xiao Lezi approaching, the concubine Chong was in a trance.She really wanted to know, if the princess knew that the child Li Mengxuan was pregnant with was not the Prince Regent's, would she have removed Li Mengxuan for the Prince Regent's reputation?
Thinking, she greeted her.

"The concubine came really early today, and the little prince is getting cuter." The concubine Chong smiled amiably, she thought so herself.

Shangguan Erlan didn't expect to meet the God of Plague here, but when he did, he had to greet him with a smile. "What a coincidence, Concubine Zhong, but she is not feeling well and her complexion is not very good."

Concubine Chong and Shangguan Erlan had always been at odds, both of them were smiling, but they couldn't see any kindness in it.Nalan An stood behind and glanced at his mouth, looking at the sky, the most annoying thing is that women fight with each other.

Concubine Chong just smiled and didn't answer, but asked: "It's rare for the princess to enter the palace, why don't you go and see Concubine Li? I heard that she hasn't been very well recently, and she has lost weight."

Others don't know, but Shangguan Erlan doesn't know?The reason why Li Mengxuan lost weight was not at the hands of the heavy concubine. Being stared at by such a person, anyone would not be able to eat well and sleep well. This is a great disadvantage to a person who is about to give birth.But so what?It wasn't her Shangguan Erlan who gave birth to the child, but Li Mengxuan. She didn't care about anyone except herself.

"Really? There are midwives and maids around her to take care of her. It's not like this princess will be fine after just going to see her."

How could Chong Concubine fail to understand what Shangguan Erlan said, even if something happened to Li Mengxuan, it would not affect her. She was in the palace, but Li Mengxuan was in the palace. "Concubine Li is a blessed person, I believe she will be fine after giving birth to a child."

"That's right, pregnant women are like this. The heavy concubine may have been in the palace for a long time, and this princess has been looking forward to hearing the good news from the heavy concubine."

Concubine Chong was overjoyed when she heard this, but she forgot about it.At almost the same time, she and Li Mengxuan became the Prince Regent's side concubine, and the other entered the palace as a noble concubine. Li Mengxuan and the emperor have always had an unclear relationship, but she is indeed the emperor's legitimate woman!If she gave birth to a prince, wouldn't she be more orthodox than Li Mengxuan!

Thinking of this, Concubine Chong immediately beamed with joy, and the way she looked at Shangguan Erlan improved a lot.

"Princess, the imperial concubine is still waiting." Nalan An reminded at the right time.

Chongfei heard that there was a reason not to give way, she immediately smiled and said: "Since Wangfei is busy, let's go first."

Shangguan Erlan smiled and left with Xiao Lezi.

After walking far away, Nalan An said: "Then the heavy concubine must be crazy, why is it the same all of a sudden."

"Well, I guess."

Entering Zhao Ru'er's bedroom, I heard the voices of the twins, screaming, and I don't know who they are calling.It seems that Zhao Ru'er really likes the twins and keeps them by her side to take care of them. She just doesn't know where she will put the twins when she has her own daughter one day, but she won't treat them too badly if she gets in her way.

"Oh, I heard their calls just after entering the palace gate. What are they calling? Do you know that my mother-in-law is here, and welcome her?"

The twins were even more excited when they saw Shangguan Erlan, they wanted to rush over before they could crawl.She hurried over, picked them up with one hand, kissed each one, and said: "I know our little princess is the most obedient, come on, Xiao Lezi, look at your sisters, and see how much they like you."

Xiao Lezi looked at the twins with a stinky face, and turned his head away, he was still arguing.

"Brother is disobedient, let's ignore him."

"what!"

"Princess, leave the princess to us, you will suffer."

Shangguan Erlan didn't say much, and taught the twins to them.Seeing that the twins had left, Xiao Lezi ran forward and squeezed into his mother-in-law's arms, not going to let her go.

Zhao Ru'er saw it, and said with a smile: "The little prince is so jealous, that's your sister."

"They want to rob my mother-in-law!" Xiao Lezi said loudly, declaring his dissatisfaction.

"Okay, then I won't talk about you anymore, it's up to you to be jealous."

Shangguan Erlan and Xiao Lezi have been staying in Zhao Ruer's palace from morning to afternoon. Xi Jinye sent someone over to pass a few times on the way, and lunch was also settled at Zhao Ruer's side.

It was not until the afternoon when Xi Jinye sent someone over again that Shangguan Erlan returned to Xi Jinye's yard with Xiao Lezi.

It was only after returning to the courtyard that Li Mengxuan had moved in. However, she did not come out of the room. Instead, she asked the maid to tell her that she was not feeling well and wanted to rest here.Shangguan Erlan didn't complain, let people look down on her and went back to the hall.

Xi Jinye changed his clothes and wore a jade crown on his head. He is slender and unattractive, making him even more fascinating.

She stepped forward, "Is everything all right?"

"Ah."

After resting for a while, Xi Jinye took Shangguan Erlan's hand and headed to the main hall.

With the support of many palace people, Shangguan Erlan followed Xi Jinye step by step to the top of the hall. After sitting upright, he scanned the bottom, and then Shangguan Erlan remembered that Xi Jinye said that Xi Jinyao hosted the banquet. ?Why did they sit up, what should Xi Jinyao do as the emperor?
Noticing Shangguan Erlan's question, Xi Jinye explained: "Ayao changed his mind and won't come."

Shangguan Erlan curled her lips in dissatisfaction, she came whenever she wanted to, and she didn't come if she didn't want to, this Xi Jinyao really couldn't make a good impression on her.Xi Jinye grabbed her hand under the table and put it on his lap, and the two held hands.

Chu Xiangliu, who was sitting beside Xi Jinfeng, stared at Shangguan Erlan above like a poisonous snake, and turned away when she noticed her gaze.She probably understood now that if "Chu Xianglan" didn't die, it would become her eternal nightmare!

Kuang Qiang also came to the banquet this time, and she was very happy to see her daughter sitting on the top of the hall.Where she sits, she is like the mother of a country.The regent finally ignored their entrustment and treated her very well.

Noticing Kuang Qiang's hopeful eyes, Shangguan Erlan remembered Chu Zhenhuan's words.Turning his head and looking down at Xiao Lezi, the little guy's eyes lit up, he immediately got up knowingly and ran towards Kuang Qiang and Chu Zheng, calling in his softest voice: "Grandpa and grandma."

"..."

There was a sudden silence in the hall. Although they had heard that Xiao Shizi often went to Chu's house, it was the first time they heard Xiao Shizi calling someone so close.They couldn't help but looked up at Shangguan Erlan who was sitting upright in the hall, the little prince would call it that, it seemed that it was the concubine's instruction.

Chu Xiangliu found it extremely harsh.Especially after seeing his father's surprised and kind smile, he secretly hated him!The father drove her brother and mother out of the Chu family, but he treated that bitch's child Chu Xianglan so well!Did they really forget who it was to their disgrace?
It's not that Xi Jinfeng didn't notice Chu Xiangliu's resentment, but he chose to ignore it.At first he thought she was still useful, but now it seems that this woman is really stupid.He regretted bringing her into the mansion now.

Xiao Lezi sat with Kuang Qiang and Chu Zheng, the two of them were responsive to Xiao Lezi, and loved her very much.

Seeing Xiao Lezi's frightening appearance, Shangguan Erlan shook his head helplessly, he was really careless.

"The servants of the Holy Capital arrived—"

Accompanied by the sound, all the voices in the hall fell silent, and all pairs of eyes looked outside.

Not long after, three teenagers and a woman in white with a veil walked in slowly from outside the hall.

Shangguan Erlan looked at the woman in white with a veil, narrowed her eyes, and already had the answer in her heart, Shangguan Erlian!I didn't expect her to come, hmph, since she wants to be the saint of the Holy Capital, at this moment, she is naturally indispensable.

"Gu Peining of the Presbyterian Church of Shengdu led all the attendants to see the regent." Gu Peining only lowered his head slightly, and his posture was not as high as the house, but it was not much lower.The pride of the holy capital cannot be destroyed overnight.

The person who came here was a servant of the Holy Capital, although it was very rude, but whoever told him that he came out of the Holy Capital and was the first to visit Lianyang Kingdom, this is enough to show the strength of their country.It is already the best if the other party's attitude can be like this.

Xi Jinye didn't care about his attitude, and nodded, "It's been a tough journey, everyone."

"It's a pleasure to see the side of the legendary Prince Regent." Gu Peining said in a very tactful interface.

Hearing this, Shangguan Erlan laughed lightly, and said: "What the waiter said is interesting, is it a legend? Our regent has always lived in reality, not a legend." Cold light.

Gu Peining just took a look and was startled, the regent princess didn't seem to like them very much.Otherwise, what's the coldness in her eyes?
"I said something wrong."

"The waiters from the holy capital still say the wrong thing? Uh-huh, this is the first time this princess has heard of it." Shangguan Erlan did not hide her dislike for them at all, and was aggressive.

On the one hand, Shangguan Erlian stood up and said with a smile: "Although we are citizens of the holy capital, we are also people who eat whole grains and are human beings. There are always times when we can't take care of it. Why should the princess be aggressive?"

"Oh, there is such a wonderful person here. Elder Gu won't introduce us." She looked at Shangguan Erlian with a smile.

Gu Peining glanced at Shangguan Erlian and said, "This is the saint of our holy capital, Shangguan Erlian."

With a bang, everyone felt that a loud noise exploded above their heads.The one who came turned out to be the saint from the holy capital?This is not a trivial matter. If it is just a simple visit, why does the saint need to come out?
