The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

"The Zhao family! Are you so bold?" A woman was wearing a long skirt with a red cloud pattern, and the neckline and cuffs were outlined with gold embroidery thread.

She wore a high bun on her head with a golden butterfly hairpin holding a pearl inserted diagonally, making her look elegant and dignified.

But at this moment, his face was full of anger, and his uncontrollable anger was rising. The rosewood coffee table beside him was slammed.

"Mother, mother. Come and have some tea to calm down, calm down." Xue Sheng, who was standing by, handed the teacup to her in a flattering manner.

It turned out that the person who was angry was Princess Duanning's mother, Princess Shuhui.

The Lady of Duanning County sat at the bottom with her head tucked in like a quail.

"How can I bear this? It's just the position of Crown Princess, and they fought so hard for it, and they still think we care!"

"How dare you play a dirty trick on my son in the Colosseum."

Princess Shuhui became more and more angry as she spoke, and she wished she could rush to the Zhao family and cut Miss Zhao into pieces.

On that day, Princess Duan Ning was indeed pushed out of the Colosseum, and the person who bumped into her was Su Yuheng.

But the person who pushed others was not her, but the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, whose maiden name was Zhao Xian.

What a great move to kill someone with a borrowed knife!

Another elegant and graceful man next to her said to the princess, "Don't worry, madam. This may not be the intention of the Zhao family."

"Black Wolf's madness was an accident, no one could have expected it. The Zhao family should not have the ability to do that. I guess Miss Zhao was just acting on impulse."

"Besides, we don't have any solid evidence right now. If she says it was an accident, there's nothing we can do to her."

Princess Shuhui was not comforted, but glanced at Master Xue and said, "You are not anxious, but you are worried about your daughter who you carried for ten months and gave birth to, right?"

"Miss Zhao's last name is Zhao, right? Don't her words and actions represent the Zhao family? If the Zhao family had even a little respect for the Princess's Mansion, would Zhao Xian dare to do this?"

Lady Duanning felt very guilty when she saw her mother was angry about her.

He stepped forward to comfort her: "Mother, I will be more careful next time and will not put myself in danger."

"Fortunately, my daughter was rescued this time by Miss Shen Si from the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion. Mother, please thank her for me."

Princess Shuhui felt sorry for Duan Ning's misfortune when she saw how obedient she was.

Then she said softly, "Miss Shen Si is Nanhua's daughter, and I often interacted with Nanhua when I was still in the boudoir.

Since she saved you this time, you can also send a message to invite her to the Princess's Mansion as a guest."

"Mother never interferes with your making friends, but you still need to carefully discern them. If you are someone like Zhao Xian, you should stop associating with her."

Princess Shuhui still felt extremely hateful when she mentioned Miss Zhao.

Princess Duan Ning stepped forward to massage the eldest princess's arm, and while looking at her expression, she licked her face like a dog and asked, "Mother, can I go to the Ning'an Marquis's mansion to play with the fourth Miss Shen?"

Princess Shuhui glared at Duan Ning and poked her forehead with her index finger: "Just play, play, play, all you know is play."

"The brother and sister only know how to sleep with prostitutes and play around, and they don't do anything serious.

One of them only grows in height but not in brains, and he doesn't even know he's being plotted against."

"When can you let me have some peace of mind?"

Xue Sheng, who was standing by, heard Princess Shuhui mention him and said defensively, "Just talk about Duan Ning, why mention me?

I'm not doing anything serious, I'm just playing around for a few more years when I'm old enough to play."

When Princess Shuhui heard that her son dared to talk back, she took off the jade beads on her wrist and threw them at him.

Xue Sheng hurriedly dodged. Master Xue saw that the situation was not right, so he hugged Princess Shuhui and stopped her from continuing to hit Xue Sheng.

While winking at his two children, he said, "Get out of here, why don't you get out of here quickly."

"Madam, madam, please sit down. Don't bother with them."

"Xue Xiuyuan! You taught me such good children. I'm so mad at you!"

The brother and sister who escaped from the door looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and sympathized in their hearts that their father had worked so hard.

Princess Duan Ning returned to the courtyard, feeling bored. It had been several days since the incident at the Colosseum, and Shen Baozhao hadn't even mentioned coming to see her.

If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain! At this moment, Princess Duan Ning had already forgotten the words of the princess.

She hurriedly ordered the maid Caiwei to prepare a carriage for her, as she was going to the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion.

Bao Zhao, who was swinging on the swing under the big camphor tree, was surprised when his maid came to report that Lady Ning was coming to visit.

Before I could get up to greet them, I heard a series of clear and pleasant voices.

"Zhao Zhao, you really know how to enjoy yourself." When Princess Duanning stepped into Zhaoming Garden, she began to look around the yard.

Seeing Shen Baozhao getting up from the swing, she walked over and sat down.

He also pulled Bao Zhao along, and the two of them squeezed on the swing together.

"Caiwei, come and help us push it. We need to swing it high."

Caiwei was not as outgoing as Lady Duanning. When she saw that her master did not say anything, she froze for a moment.

"What are you afraid of? It's like being at home here in Zhaozhao." Princess Duanning was at ease.

Shen Baozhao smiled helplessly at Caiwei and ordered Qingkong: "You and Caiwei come together to push."

Princess Duanning immediately burst into laughter, with one hand holding Shen Baozhao's arm, and her bell-like laughter filled Zhaoming Garden.

The two of them swung happily for a long time. Duan Ning is really a little sun, Shen Baozhao thought.

She was so warm that her whole body felt warm.

Qingkong was also very happy that the young lady finally showed a smile that was appropriate for her age.

After getting off the swing, Duan Ning went to Shen Baozhao's study and looked around.

Seeing a picture of a roc spreading its wings hanging on the wall opposite the desk, he asked curiously, "Zhao Zhao, women's study rooms often have paintings of plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, or scenes of the four seasons.

Why did you hang a picture of an eagle?"

Seeing her flickering eyes, Shen Baozhao explained, "This is not an eagle, but a Kunpeng.

This painting was given to me by my grandfather when I was one year old. Both the painting and the inscription were written by him.

Those who soar up to the sky can reach a height of 90,000 miles. This is his vision for me.”

Princess Duanning saw that there was indeed the seal of Prince Yu on it. Shen Baozhao looked so cherished that she felt very distressed.

"Zhao Zhao, you are so good, you will definitely rise. If you can't make it, I will support you." Princess Duanning said with a sniff.

Shen Baozhao thought that Duan Ning was still a kind-hearted girl.

"But Zhao Zhao, you have to eat less. What if you're too heavy and I can't hold you up?"

Shen Baozhao's defense was broken in a second. Damn his weak heart. She was obviously a mischievous ghost!

The two laughed and joked for half a day, and when the black sky sank to the west, Princess Duanning reluctantly said goodbye to Shen Baozhao at Caiwei's urging.

"Zhao Zhao, I will send you an invitation in a few days. Come to the princess's mansion to play with me. I will ask Caiwei to make you something delicious."

After Shen Baozhao agreed for the thousandth time, Princess Duanning finally left.

It was a rare opportunity to take a break from his busy life, and Shen Baozhao was in a good mood.

But this comfort did not last long, as Luoxia came to report that the third wife, Mrs. Tang, was here to visit.

Tang's? What is she doing here?
