Chapter 32 The Shen Family
Long Huang had been here for more than two years and had forgotten about the original owner's maternal grandfather, the Shen family. After all, after the original owner's mother died, this family had never come, let alone seen the original owner, so wasn't it normal for them to be forgotten?
Although her maternal grandparents had never come, she returned the original owner's mother's dowry. She hadn't sent any letters in the past two years, which showed that she was not someone who could be relied on. Although she was not someone who could be relied on, they had not replied to any letters after receiving the original owner's mother's dowry.
This means that this family doesn't care about her as their niece, but Long Huang doesn't care either. After all, she is now a member of the royal family, and the good or bad of the Shen family doesn't matter to her.
But she didn't expect that the Shen family would come on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. Long Huang didn't know them, so she didn't know about this. She just felt that someone was staring at her, and that look was not kind, but malicious.
Long Huang didn't look over there, but just used his mental power to take a look. He didn't recognize the person, so he didn't pay any more attention to him.
Long Huang will not let go of anyone with malicious intentions, and no one can plot against her, not to mention her current identity, which makes it impossible for anyone to plot against her.
To put it nicely, people of this era are very lucky if dragons and phoenixes don't cause trouble, let alone have any kindness in their hearts.
Of course, these people don’t know what kind of person Long Huang is yet. If they knew, no one would dare to look at them in that way.
Several members of the Shen family came today. The highest official among them was of the fifth rank, so they brought their more promising children with them. Just by using his spiritual sense, Long Huang knew what type of family this was with just one look.
They are the type who are arrogant. Among these men and women, none of them is a good person.
Of course, Long Huang didn't know that this was a member of the Shen family. After the singing and dancing in the hall ended, it was time for the girls from each family to show off their talents.
The daughters of ministers of the first, second and third ranks have all presented their talents, and here are two or three with pretty good talents.
One of them played the piano well, one danced well, and as for the painting ones, they were just so-so. I don’t know how others felt they were good. Anyway, she didn’t see it.
The girl from the Shen family, who should be about 16 years old, came to the middle of the hall, knelt down and saluted the emperor and the empress, saying: Your servant Shen Qingshuang, I have choreographed a dance and dedicated it to the emperor and the empress, wishing your majesty and the empress a long life and good health.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment. It's not that what you said was bad, but you forgot the protagonist of today. Don't you know what day it is today?
Long Huang looked at the girl below, whose eyes were full of jealousy, calculation, and even a little hatred, and felt that it was boring, but she didn't say anything. After all, she was just a dead person, not to mention that the girl was blessing her father and the queen, so no one said anything. It can only be said that the girl is not smart.
As for the Shen family, it was a bit ridiculous that they let such a girl come up and embarrass themselves.
When children from any family came up to perform their talents, they would all say something auspicious like "Wishing the Princess Regent a long life and good health." However, the girl from the Shen family didn't even take the Princess Regent seriously.
The emperor and the queen looked at each other, and the emperor said in a light voice: Do you know what day it is today?
Shen Qingshuang was still kneeling and said: Your Majesty, today is the princess' coming of age day.
After hearing this, the emperor didn't want to say anything more. He just said lightly: "Show your talent." After that, he ignored the girl from the Shen family.
The main thing is that this girl dared to embarrass the Regent Princess in front of so many people, which shows that she is not well educated, so there is no interest in saying anything more. Because the emperor knows who this Shen family is, the emperor thinks it is a pity, it seems that she really takes herself too seriously.
However, the emperor knew that the Shen family was finished. After all, it was not a good thing to disrespect the regent princess of a country. He even expressed sympathy for the Shen family.
Many ministers and ladies secretly glanced at Long Huang. You have to know that the current Long Huang is not an ordinary princess, but a regent princess.
Everyone took a look and found that there was no sadness or anger in the eyes of the Regent Princess, and there was even a hint of interest.
To be honest, no one knows much about this Regent Princess. They only know that this girl decisively severed ties with the Feng family two years ago, and even used her own poison on the Feng family.
There were only four men left in the Feng family, and only the head of the Feng family was still able to reproduce. The three sons had become disabled, and the previous daughter had become a pile of bones. Even Madam Feng was now lying on the bed, barely breathing, unable to speak, but she was not dead yet, but she would soon be dead.
It can be seen that this princess is not a kind person. It is generous of her to be kind to the people. After all, the people have no intention against her.
And this Shen Qingshuang actually didn't give the Regent Princess any face in front of so many people. The Emperor even reminded her specifically, but this girl could still speak with confidence, without realizing how bad the impression everyone had of her after she said this.
Although everyone disliked the Regent Princess in their hearts, no one dared to show it. However, the Shen family could actually behave like this, and they were the princess's maternal family, which showed that the Shen family was not good either.
Everyone knows who the Shen family is. The fact that they are still at the fifth rank after so many years shows that their character is indeed not very good.
Long Huang didn't know that Shen Qingshuang had any connection with his maternal family. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Shen Qingshuang was performing the drum dance, standing on the drum and dancing gracefully. It looked average, her limbs were not flexible enough and her movements were not smooth enough.
This is the common thought in everyone's mind. It is embarrassing to bring out such a dance. I don't know what to say. The idea is good, but it's a pity that there is no dancing foundation.
There were also many drum beats that were not consistent. Everyone shook their heads, wondering what the hell was going on. The drum beats were inconsistent and not pleasing to the eye. It felt like they were being played randomly and there was nothing beautiful about them.
Instead, it gives people a feeling of being neither fish nor fowl.
After Shen Qingshuang finished dancing, she came down and saluted, saying: "Your servant wrote this impromptu, and I am not very proficient in it yet. I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will not mind."
What is this talking about? The ministers and ladies looked at the woman in the middle of the hall in shock, wondering if she had some serious brain disease.
When Long Huang saw the other person's dancing, he knew that he was a time traveler, but this time traveler did not know what shame meant.
The emperor didn't want to listen to Shen Qingshuang anymore and waved his hand to let her go.
But Shen Qingshuang didn't go down, and said directly: I wonder if the princess can perform for us all, we also want to see the princess's talents.
After she finished saying this, the place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Not to mention the ministers and ladies, they all felt that the Shen family was out of their minds.
Even the emperor, concubines in the harem, including princes and princesses, thought they had heard wrongly. Is this something only a person with a brain can say?
Long Huang has been looking at the clown-like girl in the hall with a teasing look in his eyes. The emperor's face looked a little bad, and even the queen's face was not very good either. They were angry.
The emperor saw that Long Huang looked normal and didn't look angry, as if he wasn't talking about her. The emperor didn't want to talk to this woman anymore.
He said directly: Huang'er, I leave this matter to you.
Upon hearing this, Long Huang glanced at the emperor and the empress, somewhat speechless. Naturally, she knew that this was an attempt to establish her authority, and she did not want to refuse the emperor's kindness, so she nodded and said: "Thank you, father."
Come, drag him away and beat him to death. The Shen family has no way of educating their daughter. Go back and discipline your children well. However, the death penalty can be spared, but the living punishment cannot. All official positions of the Shen family must be removed, and the Shen family for three generations are not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations.
As soon as Long Huang finished speaking, the hall fell into the silence that could not be any quieter. Even the emperor was surprised, as this daughter's methods were extremely cruel.
Shen Qingshuang quickly came back to her senses from her shock and shouted, "You can't do this, you have no right to kill me."
Long Huang didn't even look at her, just waved his hand, and the guards took Shen Qingshuang away. She still covered her mouth in the afternoon. Long Huang smiled and looked at everyone present and said: I hope everyone here will remember the word regent. I am a ruthless regent princess, so I hope that all ministers and ladies will discipline their children well.
This palace has the right to dismiss you and to deal with any of you. I hope you can keep your original intentions and serve the people wholeheartedly.
Today is my coming-of-age ceremony, so I won’t say much. Everyone continue to eat and drink, and continue to watch the next program. Don’t let a trivial matter affect your mood.
After saying that, he spoke a few words to the emperor and the empress and then left.
People in the hall didn't even dare to breathe when Long Huang spoke, not to mention the ministers and ladies, even several princes and princesses were a little shocked. Although this method was for deterrence, and could even be said to be killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but everyone knew that the Regent Princess did not need to be killed to scare the monkeys, as long as she was provoked, no reason was needed.
What everyone doesn't know is that there is actually another meaning. When the order to execute Shen Qingshuang was just issued, he actually felt a little touched in his heart. Long Huang took a look directly and realized that this was a blood connection.
