Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 57 Attending the Banquet
The prince pushed Li Wanrong into the room and said, "Have you had enough of making trouble?"
"No, why are you helping the old lady and not me?" Li Wanrong asked angrily.
"The old lady is doing this for your own good. You gave birth to the child secretly so that you can hide the fact of your childbirth from the outside world."
Li Wanrong felt that not only the people in the Prince's Mansion were unreasonable, but even the people in the capital were unreasonable: "How can I explain it to you so that you will believe me? Although I was dragged out of the cell by the bandits, they did not do anything wrong to me."
"Who would believe you if something like this happened in that environment? Even I am skeptical about you."
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Li Wanrong. She had never thought that the prince would doubt her: "If that's the case, then why did you send me out of the house?"
Li Wanrong was already the prince's woman. The prince's feelings for Li Wanrong were real, and it was impossible for him to just abandon her there and not care about her: "Since you can't bear to leave the baby in your belly, then be quiet. If you dare to run out of the mansion, you can forget about having the baby in your belly."
Li Wanrong was so angry that she burst into tears: "You have changed. You no longer care about my feelings."
"If I didn't care about your feelings, I wouldn't care about you today. Don't be ungrateful." The prince was having a headache because of Li Wanrong's noise. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He ignored the irritable Li Wanrong and left the yard.
Li Wanrong had no place to vent her anger. She looked around the room for something to throw. After searching for a while, she couldn't find anything. She shouted angrily, "Xing'er, where are the vases and porcelain in my room?"
Xing Er walked into the room tremblingly and replied in a low voice: "Basically, it was all smashed by my aunt."
"Why don't you make up for it to me? You don't even give me any decorations, not even any food?" Li Wanrong, who was already angry, became even angrier.
"Aunt's share is limited, but I still made up for it for you in time. The speed of making up for it cannot keep up with the speed at which you dropped it." Xing'er answered truthfully.
Li Wanrong thought that her temper had indeed been bad recently and she often threw things in the room, so she did not continue the topic and went back to her room angrily to rest.
……
He Shulan accompanied the old lady for lunch, helped her back to her room, and waited until she fell asleep before leaving.
Chun Xia grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Li Wanrong is too abominable and too arrogant. It's ok for her to talk back to the old lady, but she even dared to hit her. The old lady was very good enough to let Li Wanrong give birth to the child."
He Shulan had never expected that He Shulan would be so bold: "If Li Wanrong knew how to repay kindness and think things through, this wouldn't have happened. Now is an emergency. Stay away from Li Wanrong, lest something happens to the baby in her belly and she throws dirty water on us."
At this time, a servant in the mansion brought a note: "Princess, this is a note from the Junior Official of the Dali Temple."
He Shulan took the invitation and opened it. It was from the Dali Temple Shaoqing's mother who was celebrating her 70th birthday and invited the prince and her to attend the banquet together.
However, the mother of the Dali Temple Shaoqing lived in the countryside all year round. In order to prevent his birthday mother from having to travel back and forth, the Dali Temple Shaoqing held the banquet in the countryside, so they had to take a horse carriage to the countryside for the banquet.
It would take a whole day to go back and forth. He Shulan didn't really want to go, but she couldn't refuse. She handed the invitation to Chunxia and said, "Send it to the prince."
He Shulan returned to the yard and prepared the gifts. She got up early the next day, packed her things, and walked to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. The Prince was already standing on the stairs waiting for her.
The two got in a carriage and headed for the countryside.
He Shulan lit the incense on the table. The smoke rose up and the faint fragrance made the prince drowsy. He couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep leaning back in the chair.
He Shulan took out a blanket from the small cabinet and covered the prince with it.
The carriage swayed all the way and finally arrived at the hometown of Shaoqing of Dali Temple near noon.
He Shulan pushed the still sleeping prince and said, "We are in the countryside now, hurry up and get up."
The prince opened his eyes and sat up refreshed. When he saw the thin blanket on his body, he knew that it was He Shulan who covered him with it. A warm feeling surged in his heart. He said thank you to He Shulan, lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.
Although the banquet was held in the countryside, the position of Dali Shaoqing was not low, and almost everyone who received an invitation came. For a moment, the quiet courtyard became extremely lively.
As the prince and princess walked to the door, servants came to lead the way.
The prince stood together with officials of the same dynasty to reminisce about the past. After all, everyone was busy with their own court affairs and rarely got together. He Shulan chatted with the noble ladies in the capital.
In order to entertain the guests, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple invited people to perform opera. The singing voices added a bit of festive atmosphere.
Soon the banquet began, the prince found the princess, and the two sat together.
The noble ladies sitting nearby began to gossip and gathered together to discuss in a low voice whether the prince's concubine had fallen out of favor.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked the Princess quietly, "How did you snatch the Prince from the concubine?"
The Princess of the County was stunned for a long time before she understood the meaning of the lady's words: "What's the point of fighting for it? I am the Princess of the County, the original wife, there is no need to fight for it."
This ambiguous answer instantly put the ladies' gossiping minds to rest.
After lunch, in the afternoon, everyone had to rush back to the capital and there was no gathering together to chat.
He Shulan helped the drunken prince into the carriage. The coachman shook the whip in his hand, and the carriage sped onto the road.
Halfway through the journey, there was a noise on the ground.
The prince, who was originally drowsy, suddenly opened his eyes, pulled aside the curtains, and saw behind him a large number of people riding horses with knives in their hands, rushing towards them at a rapid speed.
The prince's heart skipped a beat. These people had bad intentions and might be bandits. He asked the driver to speed up.
The driver also realized the danger and whipped the whip in his hand hard, causing the horse in front to run faster.
But no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the bandits' horses.
The bandits shouted from behind the carriage: "Stop the carriage immediately and hand over your money and I will spare your lives."
The prince and princess naturally would not believe what the bandits said.
He Shulan asked the prince seriously, "This place is not far from the capital, why are there bandits here?"
"Bandits don't just rob one place. They will not let go of any place around. We were unlucky and just happened to run into bandits."
He Shulan began to get anxious. She didn't want to be captured by the bandits, so she had no choice but to ask the driver to speed up.
The carriage was running fast, and its wheels hit the rocks on the side of the road, and the carriage fell off the cliff.
