Chapter 286 Want to be a Princess
Princess Sheng took out a red invitation and handed it to Shen Zhao.
"A good friend of Mother's when she was a child just moved to the capital a month ago, and her husband was promoted to a third-rank official by His Majesty.
Tomorrow is the day her eldest daughter is getting married, so she specially sent two invitations to her mother.
This one is specially for you. Mother wants to ask if you will attend the wedding banquet tomorrow?"
Shen Zhao opened the invitation out of curiosity, and found that it was gorgeously and beautifully crafted.
The handwriting was also very beautiful, with a large part of it praising her, and at the end he sincerely invited her to attend the wedding banquet.
Shen Zhao had not yet officially attended the wedding banquet as a guest, so he was naturally curious.
But she still had another concern, "Mother, I have to attend a court meeting tomorrow. Will this not conflict with the wedding banquet?"
Princess Sheng pointed at the invitation and said with a smile,
“It’s okay, their wedding reception is in the evening.
You can go to the court meeting and then go to Yang Mansion in time after it's over.
The man who married the daughter of the Yang family was the youngest son of a second-rank official. The two families were well matched and formed a powerful alliance.
Most of the people invited are officials in the court and their relatives. If the timing is not right, how can the wedding banquet be held smoothly? "
Shen Zhao thought about it and agreed immediately.
"Mother, I'll go with you.
I haven’t even seen what the bride looks like, let alone eaten the wedding banquet.”
Princess Sheng teased, "Mother, I see that you are just thinking about some delicious food.
I heard that the Yang family moved here from the south, so the wedding banquet should have local specialties from the south, and Zhao Zhao can enjoy it then."
After hearing this, Shen Zhao became even more excited.
After eating the pastries, I felt refreshed.
Princess Sheng smiled as she saw Shen Zhao skipping out of the main courtyard.
He told Lang Yuedao,
"Langyue, go and have the servants serve the princess well.
Next time, prepare a sedan chair for her, so she can go wherever she wants, and avoid being so tired today."
Lang Yuefu went downstairs, and Princess Sheng concentrated on the account books of the mansion.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and Shen Zhao was sleeping in a daze.
Suddenly a scream woke her up.
Shen Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and called his personal maid Bihe.
"Bihe, what happened outside?"
Bihe, who was sleeping in the outer room, responded,
"My Lord, please lie down first.
I will go outside to find out more and come back later."
Shen Zhao, "Bihe, please be careful."
Bihe left, and another maid came in.
Shen Zhao asked her to go to the outer room to look after the place, as she had nothing to do.
[Gua Gua, do you know what happened?
I was sleeping soundly when a scream brought me back to reality. 】
As Shen Zhao spoke, he yawned and his eyes were hazy.
Guagua: [A little maid woke up at night and accidentally discovered that the master she served was making love with a man. She was surprised and cried out.]
Shen Zhao's eyes lit up.
[Guagua, is this man your cheap father? ]
Guagua: [Host, you can think about this question yourself.]
Shen Zhao: [Gua Gua, you don’t cooperate with me.
Is he still my dearest Tong? 】
Gua Gua: [Host, you are forcing it.
You obviously know that King Sheng will not be back tonight.
He stayed in the palace.
This was reported by the butler during dinner.
Although you were eating at the time, I know you heard it. 】
Shen Zhao refused to admit that he wanted to tease Gua Gua, and changed the subject and complained:
[My cheap father is also quite shameless.]
It would be fine if she just stuck to her uncle during the day, but she also had to stay in the palace and sleep with him at night.
Aren’t you afraid of disturbing your uncle’s evening time?
I can see the huge dark circles under the emperor's eyes today. It's obvious that he didn't sleep well. 】
Gua Gua: [Host, you worry too much!
Emperor Yongning was like that only because he indulged in excessive sexual activities.
If your body can’t handle it, it will show. 】
Shen Zhao: [Wow, the Emperor's uncle is actually this kind of person?
Then what is my father doing in the palace?
Why don't you stay in your own palace when you have nothing to do? 】
Guagua: [Host, the palace will soon welcome a newcomer. ]
Shen Zhao suddenly realized and said indifferently,
[It turns out that there was a beauty in the palace who attracted the attention of my stepfather.
It’s good to have new people coming, to create more fun.
Otherwise, it would be boring if the princess only looked at the account books and dealt with mundane matters every day. 】
Gua Gua didn’t expect the host to think this way, and was stuck for a moment.
It has been deliberately hiding this from its host during this period of time because it doesn't want the host to be sad.
It turned out that the host ignored him completely and was even quite welcoming to the newcomer, which surprised Gua Gua.
Its host is indeed a player with a big heart!
It’s good not to pay attention to everything!
Guagua was still fantasizing when Shen Zhao interrupted him.
[Guagua, don’t be silent.]
I don’t care if my cheap father has a new lover.
As for the princess, she doesn't care even more.
Do you think the estrangement between the two of them that lasted for more than ten years can be overcome so easily?
The princess' mother asked to spend more than ten years in the royal temple, while her stepfather took concubines and enjoyed beauties in the palace. They can never go back to the past.
Naturally, the princess wouldn't care whether her father had a new lover. 】
When Shen Zhao first came to the capital, he might have tried to bring the two together and turned them into a perfect couple again.
But after so many days, she finally figured it out.
This is a completely thankless task, and if you are not careful you will hurt two people's feelings at the same time.
Of course, what Shen Zhao least wanted to do was hurt the princess's feelings.
She did admit that the princess's mother's more than ten years of waiting fully and vividly demonstrated her 100% maternal love.
King Sheng also loves her.
But Shen Zhao first met Princess Sheng.
At the first meeting, Princess Sheng had already touched Shen Zhao's long-frozen heart.
As for my adoptive father, he has never lacked people around him in the past ten years.
Shen Zhao could also understand it, and he didn't feel any wavering.
[Guagua, one day, I will let the princess live the life she wants. I hope she will be happy for the rest of her life! ]
Guagua: [Yes, Guagua will help you too.
Let’s work together and eat more melons.
Host, you actually made a contribution in eating melons before.
Guagua can let Emperor Yongning know through a "dream", and then he will reward you according to your merits. 】
Everyone in the world knew that Emperor Yongning was aware of Shen Zhao's contributions.
It's just that quantitative change leads to qualitative change, Shen Zhao is now a princess.
If we want to go further, perhaps we have to start with the country and people's livelihood.
If you do great things that benefit the country and the people, Emperor Yongning will take the initiative to reward you.
Guagua recounted the contributions Shen Zhao had made during this period and said excitedly,
[Host, you are now a princess.]
If you want to go one step further, you will become a princess.
I read in history books that those who made significant contributions to the dynasty could be specially granted the title of "Princess Zhenguo".
Host, we will move towards this goal! 】
In the middle of the night, Shen Zhao was so shocked by the big picture that Guagua had drawn that he was trembling with fear. He said firmly,
【Guagua, let’s work hard together! 】
Guagua felt obliged and agreed.
I thought that the next second everyone would start the oath-taking ceremony, but Shen Zhao changed the subject.
[By the way, Guagua, who is the man who committed adultery? ]
