Chapter 344 The Regent doesn’t like it very much
She had always been very confident in her beauty, but she still couldn't help but feel that if she stood next to Beixiu Yan, she would be outdone.
Xiao Chenyan and the female relatives in the room saluted Bei Xiuyan, but Bei Xiuyan walked straight over. When he passed by Xiao Chenyan, he didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he couldn't see him at all.
The Northern Xiu Banquet went to Mrs. Shen to pay her birthday wishes and asked the servants to bring the prepared gifts.
Qin Ming read the gift list loudly, "Twenty thousand-year-old ginseng, twenty top-quality snow lotuses, ten South China Sea night pearls, five top-quality crystal jade Ruyi handles, twenty pairs of Western Regions colored glaze lamps..."
Boxes of rare treasures were neatly placed throughout the room, surpassing all the things Xiao Chenyan had given him previously.
Yu Yaner was dumbfounded. She had seen the things Xiao Chenyan sent before, but she had only heard of the things Beixiu Yan sent, and there were even some she had never heard of!
This...when did the relationship between the Prince Regent and the General's Palace become so good?
Everyone looked at these congratulatory gifts and their eyes were filled with tears.
Yao shi dared to touch Xiao Chenyan's gift, but Yao shi felt that even touching the gift from Beixiu Yan would be a blasphemy to these treasures.
Shen Rumeng glanced at Shen Ruzhou. If a shameless woman like her could hook up with King Wu Cheng, then her beauty and background are not inferior to hers...
There were two blushes on Shen Rumeng's face, she stretched out her hands to straighten her makeup and hair, straightened her clothes, twisted her waist and moved closer to Bei Xiuyan.
Qin Ming finished reading the gift list and respectfully presented it to Mrs. Shen for reading. Shen Rumeng took it over with one hand. She opened the gift list and read it while leaning towards Bei Xiuyan intentionally or unintentionally. Her voice was so soft that it could make her water drop.
"The Prince Regent is so kind. He has sent so many good things, some of which I have never even heard of."
She deliberately spoke in a low voice and winked at Bei Xiuyan from time to time.
Shen Ruzhou really couldn't see it and turned his face in disgust.It was so embarrassing, and she would lose all the face of the General's Mansion.
Bei Xiuyan's stern face suddenly became frosty, and the corner of his eye glanced at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming understood immediately. He waved and dozens of subordinates wearing armor ran in and pulled Shen Rumeng out.
"Miss, please leave here immediately."
Before Shen Rumeng could react, he was thrown out.
Mrs. Yao didn't understand why there were so many people in the room, why Beixiu Banquet kicked her daughter out alone. She couldn't help but managed a smile and said, "Prince Regent, I'm sorry, I don't know what I did wrong to be asked out. Please make it clear."
Qin Ming replied unceremoniously: "This young lady smells extremely unpleasant, and the regent doesn't like it very much."
Suddenly, the entire flower hall could hear a needle drop, occasionally mixed with several bursts of suppressed laughter.
Yao's face was completely lost, her face turned red, and she retreated behind Mrs. Shen in embarrassment, not daring to say another word.
No one in the room dared to speak anymore, for fear of saying something wrong and offending the regent.
Ever since Beixiu Yan came in, Xiao Chenyan's face had darkened.Who doesn't know that he has always been a loner and rarely interacted with court officials, but today he came to congratulate Mrs. Shen on her birthday and gave her so many precious gifts.
I'm afraid that in less than a day, the entire capital will be talking about this unusual matter, and there may be some kind of rumors.Beixiu Yan showed his goodwill to Shen Ruzhou so blatantly, but he didn't care about the eyes of the world at all?
Mrs. Shen was confused in her heart, but she kept her expression on the surface, "Prince Regent, as an old woman, I cannot afford your personal congratulations on my birthday. These gifts are beyond your reach, and the General's Palace deserves it."
Facing the old lady, Bei Xiuyan's expression was not as indifferent as before, but a little more respectful.
"Three generations of the Shen family have served the country in guarding the border and have made great contributions. General Shen and the young master have just won a battle. This is all due to the old lady's good upbringing."
"I am lucky enough to meet the old lady on her sixtieth birthday, so I came in person to prepare some small gifts. I also ask the old lady not to see anyone else."
"Besides, the Shen family has always had a good family tradition of loyalty and filial piety. Both men and women in the family abide by etiquette and behave in a proper manner, which is really a model for the world."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Ruzhou, with a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes, "Miss Shen is sensible and generous, and has the style of a general."
"Before, the concubine was rude and made many mistakes. She was also arrogant and unruly in the military camp. But now she is able to consider her identity clearly and abide by her duties to serve the princess. This is all due to Miss Shen's good training."
Shen Ruzhou raised his eyes in surprise, did he hear it?Bei Xiuyan heard what they said about her in the room just now, and now he refuted them one by one without any trace.
She was given enough face and face.
Shen Ruzhou looked at Bei Xiuyan gratefully. Suddenly, their eyes collided. She subconsciously avoided it as if being burned by fire.
Shen Ruzhou's actions were fully seen by Xiao Chenyan, and his dark eyes filled with cruelty.
"A concubine should serve her mistress as she should, but the actual situation must also be considered. Wanrong is weak and pregnant. It is too inconsiderate for Shen Ruzhou to arrange such a tedious and tiring task for her, and it is unbecoming of the main wife. demeanor."
"There is no rule without rules. If you feel that collecting dew and pollen is too tiring, then serve the princess's food, clothing, and daily life, and always be by your side to listen to the teachings and learn the rules."
Bei Xiuyan's voice was as calm as water, but it contained a coercive force that no one dared to question.
Mu Wanrong, who was standing quietly with her head bowed, almost gritted her teeth with hatred. She didn't want to serve Shen Ruzhou and be her maid!
Even with that bitch Shen Ruzhou, does she deserve it?
However, due to the pressure of Bei Xiuyan, she planned to swallow her teeth and blood, so she could only nod stiffly.
Shen Ruzhou just looked at Mu Wanrong's distorted face and felt a strong breath of anger coming out. With a smile on her face, she accompanied her grandmother and talked about interesting things in the capital recently. She didn't notice the hidden look in Mu Wanrong's eyes as she meekly lowered her head. vicious.
At this time, the maid came in and whispered a few words in Shen Rulan's ear. Rulan nodded, stood up and went to Mrs. Shen to ask for instructions, "Old Madam, the banquet has been prepared. You can invite the distinguished guests to the table."
Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile, "Then let's prepare for the banquet. Please move over."
Everyone came to the flower hall and sat down in their respective seats according to the maid's guidance. The birthday banquet was for men and women, with the men on the left and the women on the right.Shen Ruzhou sat down at the female guest table, and Mu Wanrong stood behind her with a look of resentment.
All the ladies and ladies from each mansion sat down, and she was the only one standing behind with the maids, doing the same thing as the concubines and maids!
Although it was a good time to earn Xiao Chenyan's favor, she was still very uncomfortable. If looks could kill, Shen Ruzhou would have died by her hands countless times! .
As soon as the banquet started, Shen Ruzhou kept directing Mu Wanrong to pour wine and serve dishes, completely bossing her around. As long as she poured some wine and spilled it, Shen Ruzhou would scold her with a cold face, not sparing her any face.
Mu Wanrong was so busy that even if she lowered her head, she could feel the gazes of those watching the excitement falling on her like pins and needles. Those whispers of advice and comments made her even more embarrassed.
She clenched her hands tightly, and her manicured nails dug deeply into her palms.
She glanced at Xiao Ling coldly with the end of her eyes, and Xiao Ling retreated with trembling lips.
