Chapter 90: Overboard
The second son of the eldest princess's family, Lin Yu, also had a birthday in July.
Shen Qingxuan held a birthday banquet for Lin Yu in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Chenguang was invited to participate, Shen Qingyi also came, and there were some female guests who were usually close to Shen Qingxuan.
Shen Chong was also very concerned about his grandson, and sent Zhang Lun to send a congratulatory gift early in the morning.
Because Shen Chong sent Zhang Lun to come, in less than two quarters of an hour, Lin Chao's parents, Lin Chao and several close relatives of the Lin family all came to celebrate.
Shen Qingxuan's attitude towards Lin Chao is very complicated, emotionally speaking, it is her husband who has lived with her for many years, and she has conceived two sons together, and she still has to live with two people in the future, sometimes she also wants to reconcile, but Lin Chao's perfunctory treatment of her and the child makes her feel disappointed and annoyed.
Shen Qingxuan didn't invite anyone from the Lin family at all, she knew that these people from the Lin family, including Lin Chao, rushed over after seeing the emperor's attitude towards the eldest princess's mansion, and what they were afraid of was that they would not come tomorrow and be given a few more books to say guilt.
So Shen Qingxuan saw that the Lin family was pampering Lin Yu in every way, but she only felt that these people were particularly powerful, which made her feel disgusting.
She didn't even bother to say peaceful words, she simply ignored them, and only talked to Chenguang and Shen Qingyi, which embarrassed the Lin family who were left out.
Lin Chao was also embarrassed, frowned, and complained a little about Shen Qingxuan's kindness.
Shen Qingxuan saw that Lin Chao was angry with her because her family was left out in the cold, and she felt even more chilled.
But the child likes his father, Lin Xu and Lin Yu haven't seen their father for a long time, and suddenly saw Lin Chao and received a gift from Lin Chao, and the two children were elated.
Shen Qingxuan looked at the child's longing eyes in his eyes, because he was distressed, so he didn't want to destroy the beauty between their father and son.
She thought, even if the relationship between her and Lin Chao was already disgusting, but the child was innocent, she couldn't let them lose their father because of their hatred, they were still young, at this age when they needed their father, even if she was very disgusted in her heart, she shouldn't cut off the bond between their father and son.
But her heart was very painful, Chenguang thought, she must be very painful, otherwise she would not be obviously smiling and talking, but her hands were unconsciously clenched in her sleeves, and occasionally a trace of depression flashed in her eyes.
The maid of the princess's mansion walked over quickly and reported in a panic:
"Celestial princess, the third princess is here!"
Everyone present was stunned, their expressions became embarrassed, the eldest princess and the third princess are not in harmony, and they have such a distorted relationship, Yu Xiaogongzi's birthday, what is the third princess Baba running to do?
Shen Qingxuan's face was gloomy.
As soon as the maid finished reporting, Shen Qingran's figure appeared, she was wearing a carmine long skirt embroidered with large peony flowers, her makeup was bright and radiant, even in a group of flower-like female dependents, she was very eye-catching.
The dress is the latest popular style of Qi'an, and the neckline is slightly lowered, revealing a piece of snow-white skin, which is extremely bright and moving.
Just to celebrate a child's birthday, Shen Qingran's dress was too grand.
Lin Chao didn't expect her to come, his face was embarrassed, and he frowned. He wanted to meet him quietly, but there were only a few people in the garden, and everyone saw his actions in the past, and the female guest who was good friends with Shen Qingxuan couldn't help but show disdain, and looked at Shen Qingxuan with a little more sympathy.
It's this kind of sympathy that is the most annoying, knowing that the other party has good intentions, but I still can't help but feel annoyed.
"Why are you here?" Lin Chao asked in a low voice.
Shen Qingran smiled, blessed Lin Chao like an ordinary daughter-in-law, called "husband", and said hello to Lin Chao's parents, and when Lin Shuhai and his wife wanted to bow to her, they hurriedly excused themselves, with a modest attitude and a deferential expression, which was very favored by the Lin family.
Shen Qingxuan and Shen Qingyi felt incredible in their eyes, the princess has the dignity of a princess, that is the dignity of being a royal family, the princess is still a member of the royal family when she marries, even if the concubine is the princess's husband, and the concubine's family is the princess's in-law, the ceremony cannot be crossed. Like Shen Qingran, who lowered his own value, Shen Qingxuan, who was also a princess, felt that his dignity was trampled on, and he was very unhappy.
"Big sister, second sister-in-law, fourth sister." After greeting the Lin family, Shen Qingran took a few steps forward, came to Shen Qingxuan, and called one by one.
Shen Qingxuan looked at her and didn't speak.
In front of everyone, Shen Qingxuan wants face, so she won't scold her, but she can be kind to Shen Qingran, she will definitely not be able to do it.
Shen Qingran also knew her embarrassment, and didn't care, took the gift from Yanyu's hand, bent down, looked at Lin Xu and Lin Yu at eye level, and greeted affectionately:
"Xu'er, Yu'er, come to the third aunt, and see what good things the third aunt has brought you!"
Lin Xu began to be sensible, probably heard some gossip, in short, he rejected Shen Qingran from his eyes. Lin Yu was still young, and he originally wanted to go over, but he was pulled by Lin Xu, raised his head curiously, and looked at his brother's serious face. He was an introverted kid and wouldn't yell at his brother to let him go, he just wondered why his brother didn't let him get close to his third aunt, whom he liked very much.
Lin Xu's attitude made Shen Qingran's smile stiffen slightly, but she refused to be discouraged, and still greeted with a smile:
"Xu'er, Yu'er, what's wrong, don't you recognize the third aunt? Come to the third aunt! ”
Lin Xu and Lin Yu still refused to move.
Shen Qingran became more and more embarrassed.
Lin Chao couldn't look past it, and felt that Shen Qingran was very wronged like this, so he pushed his two sons forward and said with a smile:
"Xu'er, Yu'er, go and see what the third aunt bought for you?"
This action made Shen Qingxuan furious, but in front of everyone's eyes, she couldn't attack on the spot, so she could only hold back.
Lin Xu didn't want to go, because of his father, so he had to pull Lin Yu over and reluctantly accept the congratulatory gift handed by Shen Qingran.
"Why don't you thank the third aunt?" Lin Chao asked dissatisfiedly.
Lin Xu was reluctant, but his father said that, so he had to thank Shen Qingran with his younger brother:
"Thank you, third aunt."
Shen Qingran touched their heads with a smile, and was thrown away as soon as she touched Lin Xu's head, she laughed embarrassedly, but fortunately, Lin Yu didn't know anything and was still very close to her, which made her feel more comfortable.
Shen Qingxuan was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, grabbed the hem of his skirt, and took a lot of effort to catch his breath.
Shen Qingyi looked at Shen Qingxuan, then at Shen Qingran, and felt embarrassed. In terms of relationship, she and Shen Qingran are better, but she feels sorry for Shen Qingxuan, Shen Qingran and Lin Chao, she also feels that Shen Qingran has gone too far.
Shen Qingxuan invited the troupe, everyone sat in the courtyard to eat, drink and watch the play, the cheerful drama eased Shen Qingxuan's mood a little, the Lin family sat alone, Shen Qingxuan was out of sight and out of mind.
The child eats little and is greedy for play, Lin Xu and Lin Yu are full after a few bites, and they are shouting to go out to play.
Shen Qingxuan let them go.
However, not long after, the maid who had gone with her suddenly ran back in fear, crying and saying:
"Celestial Princess, Young Master Yu has fallen overboard!"
