Because Xiao Mu, the second son of Prince Baoqing, was promoted to the third rank of Minister of Etiquette, many people came to congratulate him on his birthday.
There are also many people who came here because of the face of Prince Baoqing, for example, Xiao Muting.
As soon as Xiao Muting's carriage arrived outside the mansion, it attracted a lot of attention. Prince Baoqing personally came out to greet it. Of course, as the birthday boy, Xiao Musheng also had to follow.
It is well known to the world that the father and Xiao Muting are on good terms, and Xiao Muting, as the youngest but most capable person in their generation, is envied by many people.
But he thought that he was just born well, and if he were a prince, he would be no worse than him. Therefore, he had always kept distance from him on the grounds of not clinging to him. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just jealousy.
On the other hand, his eldest brother and third brother, who are the heirs of the family, are very close to him, but he just doesn't like Xiao Muting's aloof appearance.
But today, someone came to deliver birthday gifts in person, and he couldn't be too disrespectful. Seeing that his father immediately went out to greet him as soon as he heard about it, he could only follow.
Seeing Xiao Muting get off the carriage and return to take over the legendary idiot Princess Chen, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes, secretly mocking him, saying that if you marry a princess, you will only marry a fool.
And when he saw Lan Yang getting out of the car behind him, he had a hint of smile, but it was just a calculating kind.
Prince Baoqing came over and said with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't come. Come into the house quickly."
Xiao Muting raised an eyebrow at him: "If I say that I am accompanying Lan Yang, will your uncle be unhappy?"
As expected, Prince Baoqing was stunned for a moment, and then rolled his eyes at him: "To be honest, are you so unhappy when you make me happy, my uncle?"
Xiao Muting said with a gentle face: "You can say ugly things later. If you don't look for trouble today, you will naturally be happy. But if someone wants to make trouble, I'm sorry. I really won't return this niece."
.”
"I asked you to tell me, let me see who dares!" Prince Baoqing's voice was louder, so that the ignorant second son standing behind him could hear it.
He is also very disappointed with this son. He always feels that this child is stupid. He doesn't care how much he suffers when interacting with outsiders. But when he comes home, he has a clear relationship with his family and treats the people at home.
He is also acting like a servant, just like a senior official. When it comes to his juniors, in addition to not scolding his own family, being tolerant and indulgent, he is also very harsh on other people's children.
It is commonly known as Wo Li Heng.
But after all, he is his biological son. Even if he gets angry again, he doesn't have the courage to really break off the relationship with him. But he also understands that if his son continues like this without knowing good or bad, and does not distinguish between good and bad, sooner or later one day
, he would have to die in the hands of others.
If it's a small matter, he alone will be responsible for it. If it's a major matter, everyone in the house may be affected.
Otherwise, he would not send the eldest son away first and let him run errands outside, and the younger son would also leave the capital at the end of the month.
After Xiao Musheng came forward to see the gift, he looked at Lan Yang, who was being pulled by Su Han, like an elder, waiting for her to come over to see him.
Lan Yang was originally reluctant to come, but when he saw his second uncle like this, he was even more reluctant to take a step forward. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on Su Han's arm, and his body clearly meant to retreat.
Su Han understood Lan Yang's intention, but she didn't want Lan Yang to stay like this forever. She had to learn to face difficulties and setbacks. She was still a princess despite her age. How could she be so timid and fearful? So she decided to give Lan Yang
Take a look.
When Xiao Musheng saw that Lan Yang was not coming forward, his expression was a little ugly, and he was obviously about to get angry.
Su Han spoke first: "What are you looking at? I've been waiting for a long time. It's time for you to receive the gift. It's over. We can enter the emperor's palace. Don't you want to accept the gift?"
Xiao Musheng was dumbfounded by Princess Xiaochen's words. There are still such unruly people in this world.
Xiao Muting and Princess Baoqing didn't talk to each other. They turned their heads and pursed their lips. If the situation was not right, the two of them would have laughed out loud.
And why does Xiao Muting love listening to Su Han's choking words so much? It's so enjoyable.
"What's wrong, don't you know who I am? Then let me tell you, I am the princess of Prince Chen's Mansion. I am the official concubine. I am the kind of person who is given a marriage by the emperor himself. You know this time. Come on, I'm ready.
Now, you can greet me now." Su Han explained to him very considerately, then stood upright and waited.
There were many officials from the DPRK and Central Government who came to celebrate his birthday, and there were also many people who stopped outside the mansion and did not enter because of Xiao Muting's arrival.
When they saw this scene, everyone was really curious, but after hearing what Princess Chen said, although they were a little stunned, what they said was reasonable, and they didn't think there was anything wrong.
Xiao Musheng was a little bit embarrassed at this time. He didn't want to see this little woman with any courtesy at all, and judging from her posture, it was not an ordinary simple ceremony, but a big ceremony, just because she was the princess of Prince Jiuzhu, but if
If you don't show courtesy, there are so many people here watching, and as he is the Minister of Rites, he will definitely make people say that something is wrong.
Prince Baoqing gave a fake cough and reminded him again: "Today you are the birthday boy, so you can keep the etiquette simple, but you still have to pay attention to the ceremony."
"Yes, Father!" The step came just in time. He responded immediately, cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to Su Han: "Welcome Princess Chen."
Su Han first raised his eyes to look at Prince Baoqing, who was laughing with him, then slightly curled his lips and said unsatisfied: "Today, for the sake of the emperor's uncle and because you are the birthday girl, I won't
I have argued with you, Princess Lanyang, you should also give a simple gift to your uncle, and then take this princess for a walk around the mansion, preferably in your original courtyard."
"Yes, Auntie Xiao Huang." Lan Yang responded cheerfully, and then blessed Xiao Mu: "Congratulations to my second uncle on his birthday, and wish him good fortune and good health."
Xiao Musheng really didn't dare to say anything too extreme at this time, so he could only nod his head angrily and perfunctorily: "Be good!"
The group of people were welcomed into the palace. After receiving the news, the princess had already walked out of the backyard door. After seeing Su Han and Lan Yang, she immediately came over enthusiastically and said to Xiao Muting and Prince Baoqing: "I can take them."
I've brought people in, don't worry, I'm here, nothing will go wrong."
Xiao Muting nodded lightly: "Excuse me, Auntie Huang. You two should follow the princess and the princess. Don't leave even half a step, so as not to scare the princess." He said to Yun Shi and Yun Lan again.
"Slave, I obey!" the two responded obediently.
Seeing them entering the backyard, Xiao Muting was still a little uneasy. Prince Baoqing's repeated assurances were of no use.
In the backyard, when Xiao Musheng's two daughters saw Lan Yang, they both frowned coldly, very unhappy.
The eldest daughter Xiao Siyi said coldly: "Why is she here even though she is sick?"
"I heard that her illness has recovered." The person who answered was the second daughter, Xiao Siyan.
