The two maids guarding the door faintly heard the crisp sound inside and silently calculated in their hearts:

Three sets of tea sets were smashed in two days. Miss Shen's temper is getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, the desk in Cuilangxuan is made of sandalwood, otherwise she would have overturned the table.

Fangyin persuaded from inside: "Miss, calm down. Didn't Mr. An tell you not to worry? He will find a solution."

"Think of a way, think of a way. The Lantern Festival is almost over, and you can't even think of a way to let me enter the palace. What else can you think of?"

When Shen Qingyue thought of Shen Yangui's provocation to her that night, she wished she could tear her to pieces immediately.

Thinking of the night when she carried the prince out in front of her, Shen Qingyue's chest was filled with anger: Isn't it just a little brute force? Who doesn't have that?

Shen Qingyue held up the round table with both hands.

The sandalwood table was too heavy for her to lift.

Angrier.

"That bitch Shen Yangui is good at using unconventional methods, using medicine and needles. I'm afraid that when the prince returned that night, he had already fallen into her hands!"

"These days, envoys from various countries have been entering the palace one after another, and there are banquets every day. The prince is drunk every day. I don't know what kind of torture he will have to endure from her?"

"Don't worry? If you don't worry any longer, Shen Yangui will give birth to a son first!"

Fangyin opened her mouth and licked her lips: They are husband and wife, and the princess has given birth, how could someone be the culprit?

"Miss……"

"She is just trying to give birth to a son as soon as possible, so that she can follow the example of the old queen mother who ruled the country from behind the curtain! This must be the case! This must be the case!"

Desire is more terrifying than hatred.

It will blind people's eyes and make them completely lost.

Zhao Qizhen kissed her when he was drunk that day, told her how much he regretted, and also vowed to join forces with court officials to send her son to the throne and help her become the mother of the country!

Let those who bullied her kneel down at her feet and beg for mercy in the future.

Shen Qingyue now feels that she has everything ready, except for her son.

"Where is Mr. An? He hasn't shown up in the past few days. Where did he go?!"

Lu An has been very busy these days.

On the one hand, because the prince "valued" the second Miss Shen, he loved her and entrusted important tasks to his relative. The small steward was promoted and his monthly salary was doubled.

It was natural for the chief steward of the palace to assign him many tasks.

On the other hand, Chen San did a very good job.

In addition, during the first month of the year, the market was bustling and people had nothing to do, so the news spread by word of mouth.

Now it has really happened. In the capital, from the elderly in their 90s to the youngest who can just walk, almost everyone knows that the royal family does not have the imperial seal and that the Mohist school has come to power by illegal means.

No court was held before the Lantern Festival. Cui Chong and others wanted to see the prince, but were rejected for various reasons.

There was a constant stream of people visiting the Pepper House.

There is a banquet today and another one tomorrow. Shatulu's Danzhu has been to the palace no less than five times.

The Cheng family, the Song family, the Wen family, the Lu family... and the families of many military generals also frequently entered the palace.

The court officials suspected that the Regent had raised a tiger to harm him and that the princess had evil intentions.

The hearts of some wavering people in the court were suddenly shaken.

Zhao Qizhen has met many people, and Lu Anyong is even more active.

He had some free time today and was about to come to Cuilangxuan, but when he heard Shen Qingyue was in a bad mood, he simply changed direction and went to the Princess' Mansion.

Jiang Congrong was teaching Shen Yuanyuan in the yard.

He asked Xiao Yuanyuan to pick a small bow, but Yuanyuan insisted on choosing a longbow that was as tall as her.

The little girl had good eyesight and a quick mind, but due to the limitations of her arm strength and length, she couldn't pull the longbow, so she simply used her feet.

Shen Yuanyuan stood on one leg, pulling the bowstring with both hands, gritting her teeth and shouting "Ah-ah!"

She was aiming at the target when she saw a figure coming out of the moon-shaped door - Lu Anyong.

The little boots stepped on the bow and moved in another direction.

"Uncle~Uncle~I can't step on it anymore~"

"call out--"

The feather arrow flew towards Lu Anyong.

Among the rough warriors in Qifeng Village, Lu Anyong is known for his literary talent. Jiang Congrong knows that he has some martial arts skills, but he has always believed that his martial arts skills are very poor.

Unexpectedly, he dodged the arrow in an instant and moved sideways very smoothly.

His kung fu is far more powerful than he usually shows.

It turns out that he had been on guard against me from the beginning to the end. We are truly good brothers who have been through thick and thin together.

The arrow bounced off and Xiao Yuanyuan fell backwards due to inertia. Xiao Songguo ran over and tried to support her with both hands.

Jiang Congrong immediately supported his niece, "Princess, are you okay?"

"This bow is so powerful, I can't control my feet."

This is not the first time Shen Yuanyuan has used a longbow.

She didn't like Lu Anyong because her uncle felt unlucky every time he saw him, so she did it on purpose.

How could Jiang Congrong see the little guy's thoughts?

Jiang Congrong said with doting intentionally, "I asked you to pick the small bow, but you didn't listen."

"Don't want a small one. The bow won't grow big, but I will grow big!"

Shen Yuanyuan had a good reason, "Only a big bow can help my sister shoot the bad guys!"

"The princess is so young and always hits the target. It's really admirable!"

Lu An clasped his hands together, saluted to Shen Yuanyuan, and gave Jiang Congrong a wink.

He needed to take a step to talk.

"My princess, play by yourself first. Your uncle will go and have some tea first."

"Good~"

Two female guards watched from the side while Songguo played with Shen Yuanyuan.

"Brother, everything is ready outside. If you don't quickly make the princess give up and stay away from the prince, we will accidentally hurt the princess when we carry out our revenge plan."

Everything was going smoothly before. Jiang Congrong gained the princess's trust, Shen Qingyue won the prince's favor, and Lu Anyong was able to enter the palace. Everything was under control.

But at the end of the year, the prince suddenly moved into the palace, and things returned to their original state.

It seems like all this work is in vain.

Jiang Congrong could tell the hidden meaning in Lu An's words. Right now the palace was in a state of complete disarray and no news could get out. Zhao Qizhen and his gang were getting anxious.

Anxious?

Then why not make them more anxious?

"Don't worry."

"My eldest niece's son is like her mother. She only has men in her mind."

"She held banquets frequently throughout the first month of the year, just to take advantage of the prince's concern for the whole nation and tie herself to the prince. Now she has also found that this method is of little use, so she wants to give birth to a son for the prince to win back his heart."

Jiang Congrong glanced around, then mysteriously took out a prescription from his bosom and said, "This is the secret recipe for having a child that the princess specifically asked my elder sister to develop for her. I think she is really confused."

This prescription was written by Shen Yangui. It cannot produce children, but it is very useful.

"My sister said that she practiced martial arts at a young age, and her body is different from that of ordinary women. It is very difficult for her to get pregnant, and even if she gets pregnant, the risk of giving birth is very high. It is a blessing from heaven to have Princess Jingning in this life, but she still wants to gamble with her life."

"The pain of losing a loved one is temporary, and you will get over it sooner or later."

Jiang Congrong tore the paper in half and said, "I can't let her take such a big risk for that guy named Mo."

"Hey!"

Jiang Peirong had already become famous for her treatment of the epidemic in Jizhou and for becoming a female advisor. During the first month of the year, she took Xiao Yuanyuan shopping and saved two people on the way, which made her famous again.

Now she enjoys a great reputation among the people, and everyone says that she is as good as Hua Tuo and has a miraculous hand that can bring people back to health.

Many ladies in the court also had their chronic illnesses cured by her, with very good results.

Lu Anyong believes in Jiang Peirong’s secret recipe: If Shen Yangui can’t use it, can Shen Qingyue also use it?

He snatched the prescription away and said, "If you tear it up and throw it here, it will leave clues and arouse suspicion. I will help you destroy it."

Jiang Congrong still had great trust in this brother and naturally handed the things to him as before.

"After Princess Jingning's first birthday banquet, the envoys from all countries will leave. By then, I, your confused niece, will have no reason to trap the prince. Now that you are ready, just start. I will fully cooperate with you."

The Princess's first birthday party...

This sentence reminded Lu Anyong.

"Princess Jingning is the regent's first child, and the birthday banquet will be grand. I heard that the palace is already preparing for it?"

"Yes, it will be held in the Linde Palace. So this time the envoys from various countries are not in a hurry to leave. They will all stay to celebrate with the little princess. It will definitely be more grand than the banquet for all nations."

When there are too many people, trouble tends to occur, and when there is trouble, there are opportunities.

Lu Anyong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Brother is the princess' uncle, so he should go there too, right?"

"Of course!"

"If you need it, I'll need your help."

"You're thinking……"

"Brother, if you don't want the princess to risk her life to give birth to a child for that bastard, I will naturally share your worries."

Lu An patted Jiang Congrong's chest with the back of his hand, "Princess, you are so infatuated. If you see the prince and Miss Shen being so affectionate... you'd better give up as soon as possible, so that you will suffer less in the future."

Jiang Congrong thought it made sense.

The Shaofu was in charge of the preparations for Princess Jingning's first birthday banquet, and the entire process had been confirmed repeatedly with Mo Chengying last year.

In March, flowers bloom, willows turn green, and birds sing and dance.

The princess's first birthday banquet was held in the Linde Hall, with a variety of performances in front of the hall.

In addition to the usual stage singing and dancing with swords and sticks, there are also high-pitched singing, swallowing swords and sharp swords... It is a scene that is so lively that it cannot be described.

The lanterns hanging beside the Taiye Lake are not ordinary palace lanterns. Instead, they are made by skilled craftsmen in various novel shapes. They are lit at night in various shapes and colors.

In addition, after the banquet, there will be fire pots, iron trees and silver flowers, and fireworks performances.

All the officials and their families will enter the palace in the afternoon in auspicious attire. Before that, the little princess has been busy at all.

The most important thing at a child’s first birthday party is the “Zhuazhou” ceremony. Mo Chengying didn’t want her little princess to perform for others, so the ceremony was held in the Pepper Room.

The princess is most familiar with this place, and only with peace of mind can she choose what she wants most.

The Pepper Room had been decorated with lights and lanterns a few days earlier. Early that morning, everyone was busy inside and outside. Mengdong and Wandong helped the little princess to dress up, Qianfan and Wanchun led people to prepare things, Qingshuang watched carefully, and Lu'e also came to help, for fear that there would be any mistakes.

Jiang Peirong had checked everything one day in advance to make sure there were no harmful substances.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory selected an auspicious time, and the ritual officials followed the procedures, singing lyrics, warding off disasters, bathing, and dressing... When the one-year-old was being held, Lin'an, Sangniu, Danzhu and others were also present.

Princess Jingning wore a dark red auspicious dress with a golden phoenix. Her big eyes sparkled with a lively light as she looked at the gold and jade treasures surrounding her, from swords to golden pens, both civil and military. She was curious about everything and touched them all, but she did not pick them up.

Just as everyone was wondering what the princess would take, the little fellow crawled out of bounds and hugged the gold-painted wooden stool that he had found in the small study.

Because it was too heavy, she couldn't lift it up, so she just held it tightly together and didn't let go.

"This, this...what does this mean?" Lin'an looked at the ceremonial officer.

Every item in the Zhuazhou ceremony has a meaning, except the one used for the princess hug.

Faced with the unexpected situation, the ceremonial officer wanted to rely on his experience to boast, but he didn't even know what the wooden block was.

Just as he was hesitating whether to propose another arrest, Shen Yangui whispered to Mo Chengying:

“I knew this was a treasure.”

Then he raised his voice and said, "Princess Jingning has a keen eye for talent. She immediately liked the birthday gift that Grandpa Emperor chose for her."

She never considered catching it again, even if it really was just a wooden block and could really predict life.

As long as my daughter likes it.

No one cared what it was, they used everything they had learned in their lives to express their best wishes.

Princess Jingning was overjoyed and clapped her little hands.

Shen Yuanyuan felt a little regretful, "I still think that sword is the most beautiful!"

"Grandfather?" Lin An raised his hands. "Isn't her Grandfather the same as... my father's father, my father's father?"

Sangniu patted her shoulder, with sympathy for her intelligence in her eyes, "Your great-grandfather!"

Lin An was not happy with the way Sang Niu looked at him as an idiot, so he took her hand away and asked, "Do you want me to tell you?"

Sang Niu simply put her arm on her shoulders and said, "Leaving aside the issue of monarch and subject, according to seniority, shouldn't you also call me aunt?"

"Aunt? Hey girl, you're tired of living, right?"

"I……"

"Hey!" Lin An slapped her back, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll knock out your teeth!"

The two of them met at a small banquet in the Pepper Room Palace in the first month of the year and found that they had similar interests. Whenever they had the chance in the past few months, they would drink together.

Female bandits have no rules, and the princess doesn't stick to them either.

The two of them were like sisters who had been separated for many years, often linking arms and calling each other sister.

Mo Chengying took over his wife's words and said loudly: "The royal family will inherit and the country will last forever. Princess Jingning has chosen the Great Xia Dynasty! In the future, she will definitely lead the world! She will realize her grand ambitions!"

No matter what it is, now that the kingdom has fallen into Qingqing's hands, it will eventually be passed on to his beloved daughter!

Princess Jingning cooperated very well. She clapped her hands on the wooden block, and a drop of saliva fell on the longan.

The golden dragon shines brightly, its eyes looking around with disdain.

Everyone praised and wished for her. Danzhu was straightforward, so she simply kowtowed:

"This is my future little master, Shatulu."

Mo Chengying raised his head and laughed, "Hahahahaha——"

Poshan dared to guarantee that this was the first time in his life that he had seen his prince laugh so heartily.

After the one-year-old ceremony in the Pepper Room was over, Shen Yangui saw that Yuanyuan liked the small sword inlaid with gems and gold and jade very much, so he gave it to her.

The little guy was so happy that he shouted that he wanted to be a mighty general when he grew up and protect the little princess.

It was still early, so everyone left one after another and went to Taiye Lake first.

Shen Yangui was not in a hurry to change his clothes, but was holding the gold-painted wooden stool and studying it.

"Jingming, if you were the father, what would you put in there and leave it for Yu'er?"

"Me?" Mo Chengying came over and said, "My bracelet."

"..."

Shen Yangui touched his forehead: Why bother asking?

"My father was in a difficult situation at the time, so he must have put away the most precious items."

Shen Yangui reminded him that he should base his considerations on reality.

Mo Chengying lowered his head and touched his bracelet, his face full of happiness and said:

"Even the imperial seal can be reproduced, but the bracelet you made for me is the only one in the world and cannot be reproduced."

“Nothing is more precious than this.”

Shen Yangui had no way of refutation when he said this.

"how about you?"

Shen Yangui looked at her husband's expectant eyes: Wouldn't it ruin the atmosphere if we talk about the imperial seal at this time?

She said against her will: "The hairpin, the one you carved for me yourself."

"I knew it."

Mo Chengying kissed her face and leaned on her shoulder with a satisfied look on his face, "I know that in your heart, even though the country is more important, it will never surpass me."

This... made Shen Yangui feel a little guilty.

"…Actually, what you put has nothing to do with your position in your heart."

Shen Yangui kissed him back, "No matter what, you are the most important in my heart."

Yu'er was unwilling to be left out, so she stood up with the help of the "wooden stool" and threw herself between her father and mother.

"Daddy, Mommy, huh? Huh?"

She turned her face left and right, asking for kisses.

Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui, one on each side, kissed her little face until it was deformed.

At this time, the area beside Taiye Lake was crowded with people and noisy.

Some people were walking and watching the various performances, while others were getting ready to perform.

Although Lu Anyong had already told Shen Qingyue about today's plan, Zhao Qizhen still asked the maid to lead her to a dark place in the rockery.
