Chapter 209: An Invitation
Sheng Shangshu's identity, although he is an official above the court, but his official position is too low, and he couldn't even enter the gate of the palace before, let alone attend the emperor's birthday!
This time, the reason why I was able to participate in the birthday banquet in the palace was because of the identity of the father of the princess and concubine.
But only one invitation was sent down in the palace, and only Sheng Shangshu was invited, and Sheng Shangshu's family was not mentioned at all.
Mrs. Sheng didn't have a chance to participate.
Mrs. Sheng felt unwilling in her heart, she was the mother of the Sheng family, she was Sheng Zi'an's mother, she must be Sheng Zi'an's little slut, she didn't let herself participate, it must be like this!
Mrs. Sheng blamed Sheng Zi'an for the matter in her heart, and she almost gritted her teeth on the side!
Sheng Shangshu didn't care much, recently there has been more and more separation between him and Mrs. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng can't grasp Sheng Shangshu's heart more and more, the Bai family in the side courtyard must be sowing discord in his master's ear! This made him more and more unimportant in Shangshangshu's heart.
Sheng Shangshu thought that as long as she came out of the courtyard, the Bai family could only obediently tie her hands and regain control of the Sheng Mansion, but what she didn't expect was that even if she came out, the atmosphere in the mansion still hadn't changed.
Mrs. Sheng tried hard to take back her rights, but Aunt Bai didn't know what means she used, so she made the people in the mansion obey her words, and the people in the mansion closed themselves one after another, one on the surface and one behind the other.
Mrs. Sheng has always wanted to punish those who speak ill of herself on the days when she was locked up, and be punished as she deserves, only in this way can she re-establish her majesty, but she didn't expect that Aunt Bai could really protect the safety of those people, and Sheng Shangshu also stood on Aunt Bai's side, so that Mrs. Sheng had no way to succeed.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Sheng was even more aggrieved in her heart, but she was helpless, since there was no way to establish authority in the mansion, let the ladies and ladies of each family know outside that she was still noble, for example, to be able to participate in the emperor's birthday banquet.
At this time, it is a great honor for the wife of any family to enter the palace once as a family member, but she has no invitation! Mrs. Sheng was really unwilling in her heart.
She is clearly the main wife of the Sheng family, Sheng Zi'an still has to call herself mother, and she can't even participate in the emperor's birthday banquet, doesn't she make herself unable to get off the stage?
If it was in the past, Mrs. Sheng might have asked someone to call Sheng Zi'an back and let Sheng Zi'an find a way, anyway, Sheng Zi'an's submissive appearance, how could she not agree?
But Sheng Zi'an is not the Sheng Zi'an of the past, especially the last time she saw Sheng Zi'an, what she said made Mrs. Sheng think about it now, and she still feels a chill in her back, does Sheng Zi'an know anything?
Mrs. Sheng didn't dare to go to Sheng Zi'an, but she was unwilling to be left behind like this, and she was worried all day these days, but there was no endless road! When Mrs. Sheng was anxious, her eldest daughter Sheng Hong'an rarely returned to the Sheng family.
Sheng Hong'an has been working in the Guogong Mansion in recent days, which makes the old lady of the Guogong Mansion and her husband have a slightly better attitude towards herself, and the eldest prince is also willing to come to Sheng Hong'an's courtyard according to the time.
At Sheng Zi'an's wedding last time, Sheng Zi'an made a parting gift to his dead mother, which made the identities of Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Hong'an a little embarrassing, and even took the Guogong Mansion to make people laugh for a while, and it is said that even the concubines in the palace were alarmed!
The Guogong Mansion is embarrassed, how can Sheng Hongan be better?
Even the concubines in the mansion all secretly poked and poked at Sheng Hong'an, Sheng Hong'an hated it, but she could only pretend not to know, otherwise what could she do when she was angry? Sheng Hongan swallowed her anger and pretended that she didn't know anything.
In the past few months, he has honestly flattered the old lady, gentle and petty, which has saved a little, this emperor's banquet proves that Sheng Hong'an's patience is still useful, the invitation does not have Mrs. Sheng, but there is Sheng Hongan, as the young lady of the main room of the Guogong Mansion.
Sheng Hongan looked at the invitation in his hand, and felt a little better in his heart, as if the grievances he had suffered these days had finally paid off!
But the other people in the Guogong Mansion are not happy, for example, she is about to give birth in recent days, Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu was very arrogant in the past few months, she was stable at that time, and the children in her belly were also angry, even if it was two children, they were safe and stable, and they didn't make any fuss at all.
However, the child in the belly is not noisy, but Aunt Liu is very noisy, and she doesn't put Sheng Hong'an in her eyes at that time.
Several times, the eldest prince has arrived in Sheng Hong'an's courtyard to prepare to rest, but he was called away by Aunt Liu for various reasons, this time, he can't come back this night, Sheng Hong'an has sat down until dawn, and he hated it in his heart, but he didn't go to Aunt Liu's trouble.
Later, Aunt Liu, because, according to Sheng Hongan's temperament, she would definitely come to make herself feel bad, so she took this opportunity to expose Sheng Hongan's nature and let the Guogong Mansion see clearly what a spicy and vicious woman Sheng Hongan is! Who knew that Sheng Hongan was so enduring, and later Aunt Liu was scared herself.
Because the eldest prince began to pamper a woman outside, and was ready to carry the woman into the house, the woman pestered the eldest prince all day long, and she was younger than Aunt Liu, she looked like a fox, and the eldest prince liked it tightly!
Aunt Liu also knew in her heart that she was afraid, for such a long time, Sheng Hongan didn't look for trouble for herself, she must be looking for an opportunity to kill her with one blow! In addition, her backer eldest son doesn't care much about herself now, so Aunt Liu just stopped and didn't provoke Sheng Hongan.
The situation in the mansion has improved a lot, plus this time, Sheng Hongan got the invitation from the palace, and the old lady's attitude towards Sheng Hongan has improved a little.
The Guogong Mansion received a total of four invitations, one for the eldest prince, Sheng Hong'an, and the old grandfather and old lady.
But the old lady has not been very good in recent days, a few days ago she had a cold, but there has been no good profit, probably because of her age, if there is no performance, the old lady must be strong to enter the palace, after all, what a beautiful thing!
It's not a coincidence, the old lady has been coughing these days, she can't get up for a long time when she coughs, the voice is still loud, it's very scary to look at, others don't say it, and the old lady doesn't dare to go to the emperor's birthday banquet like this!
If you are at a banquet and cough non-stop, it is not only disrespectful to the emperor, but also may infect other people! The old lady had no choice but to stay at home, and she regretted it in her heart. It's just that this invitation can't be wasted casually, and there is no name on the invitation, so even if you change someone, it's okay.
Aunt Liu didn't know if her heart was really swollen, or if she couldn't recognize her identity, but she actually remembered that the extra invitation from the old lady came!
coaxed the eldest prince and said, seeing that the child in the belly is about to come out, if you can let the children feel the emperor's dragon grace, after being born, they will be in good health, and they will be able to win glory for the Guogong Mansion in the future!
The eldest prince himself is an ignorant person, and the reason why he is very good to Aunt Liu is because this is his first child, and he also has some expectations in his heart, but he was really coaxed by his aunt to be tempted!
actually really thought about it, and took Aunt Liu into the palace, the old lady didn't know about this matter yet, Sheng Hongan knew first, Sheng Hongan had already placed people in the courtyards of various aunts, although he couldn't hear what was said in the room, but he could also know a rough idea.
Sheng Hongan sighed in the room, the eldest prince really couldn't figure it out.
The eldest prince didn't hide it, and directly told Sheng Hongan about it.
Sheng Hongan poured a cup of tea for the eldest prince very gently, and said softly:
"Master, then Sister Liu's body is so heavy, what if there is danger when you go out, this is your first child, husband, how can Sister Liu be so inconsiderate of the child?"
The eldest prince waved his hand: "What a glorious thing the emperor's birthday banquet is, it also makes the master's child stained, and after he is born, he must be good for other people's children!" "The eldest prince still likes the child in Aunt Liu's belly very much.
Sheng Hong's peace of mind was very bored, but she couldn't show it, so she could only continue to persuade:
"Master, the concubine naturally wants the child to be good, but my sister's belly is too big, and it looks like it's about to fall, there are so many nobles at the emperor's birthday banquet, if my sister is nervous, she will have a direct attack, and when the time comes, she will collide with the emperor, and the emperor will blame her!"
Sheng Hong'an was wholeheartedly thinking about the eldest prince's child, and the eldest prince was not angry, but thought about Sheng Hongan's words carefully, and he frowned: "What you said also makes sense..."
"The concubine is still young, and there are not so many opinions on such important matters, so why don't you ask your mother to see how to choose this matter?" Sheng Hongan suggested.
Sheng Hongan knew that although the old lady didn't like herself, she also didn't like those concubines, and felt that those concubines were all fox spirits, so that her son didn't know how to be motivated.
I want the old lady to take out her own invitation and let the concubines in the family go to the emperor's birthday banquet, the old lady feels that she can't afford to lose that person!
The eldest prince really asked the old lady about this matter, and the old lady immediately got angry and blamed her son! The eldest prince was blamed by his mother, and he also figured it out, and felt that his previous ideas were a little ridiculous!
The old lady learned from the mouth of the eldest prince that it was Sheng Hongan who stopped this matter.
