Nanny Yuan looked at the figure that left resolutely, and infinite hatred surged from the depths of her heart.

Your Highness is so ruthless, so don't blame me for using extraordinary measures.

Tian Xing'er sat on the ground dejectedly, looking at Nanny Yuan with tears in her eyes, "Mother, His Highness refused to take my daughter as a concubine and wanted to marry her to a commoner. Woohoo! I don't want to live anymore."

Nanny Yuan calmed down for a moment, frowned and said, "Xing'er, don't panic and wait for two more days. Mother will definitely make His Highness willingly accept you as his concubine. Now go and invite Doctor Shao over."

Tian Xing'er wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and said, "Okay, mother. I will go and ask for Dr. Shao right now."

……

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, people were surging in front of Zheng's mansion, and many official carriages were parked in the open space at the gate. Officials came with their families to attend the welcoming banquet.

Bright and eye-catching flowers and plants were placed on both sides of the Zheng family's mansion, and festive red lanterns were hung above the gate. Zheng Duwei and the old housekeeper stood in the middle of the steps, smiling and welcoming the guests.

"Master Nong, please come in. There are all kinds of fine wine and food prepared in the garden. Bring your wife and son in with the servants first. This supervisor will be here soon."

"Thank you for the hospitality, Zheng Duwei. I must drink a few more cups today."

"Okay, okay, Master Li, please come in, eat and drink well, today you and I won't go home until we are drunk."

At this time, two golden luxury carriages stopped at the gate, with the logo of Prince Sheng's Mansion on the top of the carriage. Four people got off the first carriage. Ze Yi and Ze Er walked in front to lead the way, with very serious expressions; Situ Chong walked behind holding Shangguan Wei's hand, with a soft and loving look in his eyes; the two wore custom-made purple couple clothes, and Shangguan Wei's palm-sized face was covered with a white veil, giving people a mysterious feeling. Four people also got off the second carriage. Nan Yanqing and Situ Feng walked side by side. The two complemented each other, one white and one blue. Their outstanding appearance attracted the attention of many rich ladies. Yan Yi and Dao Er followed behind them.

The people on the steps were stunned when they saw this. Zheng Duwei bowed with a smile and said, "Welcome to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng, as well as His Royal Highness Prince Lai and His Royal Highness Prince Rong. I have been waiting here for a long time."

Hearing this, the other officials all bowed their heads and kowtowed.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng, His Royal Highness Prince Lai and His Royal Highness Prince Rong. I have been waiting here for a long time."

Situ Chong raised his left hand and said, "It's a rare opportunity that Zheng Duwei has arranged for me to have a chat with the officials today. Don't be shy."

"The banquet is ready. Please follow me into the palace and take your seats."

Zheng Duwei bent down and lowered his eyebrows, making a gesture of inviting people in.

The old butler walked in front respectfully to lead the way, while Zheng Duwei followed obediently on the left side of Situ Chong, wagging his tail to please him like a pug.

The group walked into the mansion in a mighty procession. The ground was paved with white pebbles, and all kinds of rare treasures were planted on both sides. Two priceless golden nanmu trees were interspersed among them. The house was surrounded by towering trees and provided shade, and a pleasant cool breeze was everywhere.

Shangguan Wei looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest. The corners of her mouth rose slightly as she whispered, "Tsk tsk! You won't know how shocking it is until you see it. The Governor's Mansion is magnificent and has everything. It is comparable to the existence of an imperial palace."

Situ Chong turned his head and said lovingly, "If Madam likes it, this mansion can also belong to Madam."

"Oh, my husband, how can you do this? Robbing someone else's house is a robbery and will be drowned in the spit of the people of Nanling."

"Oh! Nanling City is my husband's fiefdom, and I have the final say. I will just find a new house for Zheng Duwei."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach Zheng Duwei's ears. He clenched his hands under his sleeves, and there was a sinister look in his eyes.

He cupped his hands and said modestly, "Prince Sheng is right. If the princess likes it, you can take it. I can find a new house."

Situ Feng raised the corner of his beautiful mouth and said teasingly, "Fifth brother really dotes on his wife to no limit. I, your younger brother, am willing to admit defeat."

Nan Yanqing interrupted in a familiar voice, "As long as Princess Sheng asks, even if it's for the moon in the sky, Prince Sheng will fly up to the sky and pick it up. This is the highest realm of true love."

"Well, Prince Rong is right. This is the essence of love. Love is as deep as the sea and as profound as the stars."

Shangguan Wei held her forehead with her right hand in silence, "You've said enough. I don't like this mansion. I was just talking nonsense. Zheng Duwei doesn't need to take it to heart."

Situ Chong thought of Shenlong Island, the ground padded with thousand-year-old white jade, and the beams cast with gold. He smiled and said, "It's really not that good, and it doesn't match the lady's temperament."

"Haha! This kind of mansion suits Zheng Duwei very well, from head to toe."

Damn you country girl, you trample on the mansion that I spent so much money to build. I’ll let you feel proud for a while, but you’ll cry next.

Zheng Duwei felt inexplicably blocked in his heart. He looked ahead and stopped, with a standard official smile on his face, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, Your Highness Prince Lai, Your Highness Prince Rong, and everyone else, please come in." He walked into the banquet hall first and gestured for them to take a seat.

Situ Chong held Shangguan Wei's hand and walked to the upper seat, while Situ Feng and Nan Yanqing walked to the side seats. After the four of them were seated, Zheng Duwei sat on the right seat below the main seat and clapped his hands. A group of charming dancers came out from behind the screen, walked slowly to the central open space, and danced gracefully after the music sounded.

The six dancers on the stage have enchanting eyes. They dance with their round and plump buttocks like water snakes, and their slender white arms are raised in front of their bodies, moving them flexibly up and down and left and right. Their slightly exposed shoulders are slightly bent and shaken forward, and the two faintly visible pieces of snow-white on their chests make people unable to take their eyes away.

The dance ended. The six dancers standing in the center cast seductive glances at Situ Chong above them, with charming and sexy smiles on their faces and their voices more charming and seductive than the other.

"My name is Yilian, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng."

"Your servant Caiyi pays respects to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng."

"My name is Hongmei, and I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng."

"I, Fangfei, pay my respects to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng."

"I, Qiao Xi, pay my respects to His Majesty Prince Sheng."

"Your servant Aini pays respects to His Royal Highness Prince Sheng."

Shangguan Wei stopped eating, looked down at the six dancers below, and touched Situ Chong's left arm, "My husband, these beauties are showing their affection to you, but you don't respond, you are so unromantic."

Situ Chong stared at Shangguan Wei, "Madam, just concentrate on eating and don't let them disturb your mood. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful."

The voice was a little loud and caught everyone's ears. The officials on the scene stopped their private discussions and the six dancers stood there awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do.

Zheng Duwei raised his right hand and waved, "The dance is over, no need to wait, all of you can leave."

Then he looked up at Situ Chong, stood up and raised his glass with both hands, "Today's welcoming banquet is for Your Highness. I would like to offer a toast to Your Highness. Would you please do me the honor of drinking with me?"

Situ Chong was concentrating on feeding the food. "I am too weak to drink. Zheng Duwei and everyone can just drink as much as you want."

Zheng Duwei's body froze in place, and his hands tightened around the wine glass.

Seeing this, Situ Feng raised his wine glass with both hands and said, "Zheng Duwei, Fifth Brother has been in poor health since childhood. I will drink this glass with you." After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Nan Yanqing also raised his glass, "How can we drink without me? Let's drink together."

"Okay, I'm here to honor your highness Prince Lai and your highness Prince Rong."

Zheng Duwei raised the wine glass in his hand, drank it in one gulp, then sat down, put down the glass, turned his head and gave the old butler a wink.

Soon, a girl in a pink dress came out from behind the screen, holding a white jade pipa in her hands, with a smile on her beautiful face. She walked lightly, flexibly and elegantly, with a graceful figure, and the fragrance of lotus flowers surrounded her.

The official's son on the field was instantly attracted by the girl in the pink skirt, and some thoughts began to arise in his mind.

Zheng Duwei was delighted when he saw this. "My little daughter, Zheng Rong'er, is still unmarried. She is talented in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I will let my little daughter play a song for you to liven up the atmosphere."
