After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

"Master Wen!"

Shen Chongyao also felt dizzy. There were too many things going on today. Even though he had a heart as broad as the sea, he still couldn't bear it.

He ran to find his brother. Now that Lord Wen had arrived, Shen Chongyan, the marquis, would have to take over.

The Shen family and the Wen family are close friends, a friendship that has been accumulated since the generation of the old Xinyuan Hou.

However, unlike the old marquis who died young, the old man of the Wen family was very good at keeping in good health. In terms of age, he was ten years older than the old marquis. Now he was over seventy years old, but he was still energetic, his voice was as loud as a bell, and his body was so strong that even the average middle-aged man could not compare to him.

With such a veteran minister who had served in three dynasties in charge, after decades of operation, the Wen family naturally became one of the most powerful families in the capital.

The current head of the family, Lord Wen, is only fifty years old, but he has already been appointed as the Minister of Rites and is greatly favored by the Emperor. What is most rare is that he is extremely trusted and loved by Emperor Zhaoyuan, and is a first-class confidant of the emperor.

But it is interesting to say that Lord Wen, who was famous for his honesty and integrity, married a beautiful wife who was 13 years younger than him after his first wife passed away, and he treated her like a jewel in the palm of his hand.

Coincidentally, Madam Wen had been a close friend of Xinyuan Hou's wife Luo Miaoyun before she got married. They had been close friends for many years, and this friendship naturally continued after they got married, and because of the good relationship between their husband's families, it added a layer of intimacy.

So you are also invited to the family dinner at the Marquis’ Mansion today.

But the Flower Festival has always been a festival for daughters, and the people invited in the mansion were Madam Wen and several young ladies from the Wen family.

Wen Huaichen, the Minister of Rites and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, drove to the villa of the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion in a horse-drawn carriage in such a brazen manner, which really caught everyone off guard.

There are a room full of ladies and young ladies here!

-----

At this time, the elegant banquet has begun, and the flowers are in full bloom. The marquis's wife is raising a cup to pray and celebrate the auspicious day of flowers.

Ning'er glanced at the wine in the cup. Its color was like the thick dew on flowers and its fragrance was tangy. It was the wine dew brewed from hundreds of flowers, just right for drinking during the Flower Festival.

As she was looking at it, Ning'er suddenly felt someone's gaze was cast on her. Just as she was about to look up, the person turned away.

She took a sip of the Hundred Flowers Dew and was curious about who was spying on her so often at the banquet.

The fragrance of this Hundred Flowers Dew is already in your nose before you even take a sip. After tasting it again, you will find that it is indeed like jade dew, sweet and intoxicating.

Ning'er liked it as soon as she drank it. She had never drunk alcohol before and didn't know how much she could drink. Seeing that the wine tasted like sweet water, she couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

While Ning'er was reminiscing about it, Chuncao gently pulled her sleeve. She secretly pointed at the stain on Ning'er's shawl and said in a low voice, "Miss, should we find a free time to go out and deal with it?"

Ning Er looked around and saw that everyone was sitting at the table: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Let's change them when the banquet is over."

Chuncao was a little hesitant. It would be inappropriate to leave the table rashly now. However, she was a girl by nature and was sensitive to the elements. If someone noticed that her clothes were stained in such an occasion, she would probably be criticized.

Thinking of this, she reached out and folded the shawl slightly, moving the red mark to the inside of her clothes.

Chuncao had just finished and put her hand away when she suddenly saw the old lady sitting in the upper seat waving at Ning'er, motioning her to come over to her side: "Ning'er, come here!"

Chuncao's lowered eyes revealed a bit of anxiety. She gently touched Ning'er's sleeve, indicating that she must be careful when moving and not reveal the mark.

Ning'er remained calm and walked over as if she didn't notice anything.

The old lady saw that she moved calmly and behaved properly. She was wearing a moon-white cross-collared jacket and skirt, with a water-blue shawl draped across her arm. Under such a clear blue sky, the surface of the gray silk skirt with silver beads was glittering, and as the light flowed, the plum branches embroidered on the skirt could be faintly seen.

All the beauties present were wearing flowers and fine clothes, but Ning'er only wore a light green jade hairpin, but she attracted everyone's attention.

The old lady took her hand with admiration in her eyes and said to everyone with a smile: "This is my nephew's granddaughter. Her maiden name is Chaoning. She now lives with me in Songshou Hall."

This is to introduce her very solemnly to the people in the mansion and close relatives and friends.

Close to Mrs. Luo sat her two children. Although there was a custom of having men and women sit at different tables nowadays, the Marquis's Mansion had never been very strict about this.

Today is the Flower Festival gathering. Those present are all good relatives of the family, and they are all girls and boys who are not yet adults, so no one thinks it is strange that they sit at the same table.

Ning'er was in the limelight, and Shen Ruyao, who had done something dirty with her, was not very happy. She had always looked down on Ning'er's status, and now she saw that everyone was surrounding her and praising her.

She curled her lips and said, "It's just to flatter the old lady. Don't think of yourself as a phoenix bird."

Mrs. Luo looked at her helplessly and said, "Be honest, but haven't you suffered enough last time?"

Shen Chengying smiled and poured a glass for each of his mother and sister: "She is just a poor person who lost her mother. Why would you bother with her? This wine tastes very good. Yaoer, have a drink too."

Shen Ruyao thought again and realized that it was true. She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, her mother was from a famous family, and she had a brother who loved her very much. There was really no need for her to argue with a girl who had nowhere to go. She became complacent again.

Her cousin, who was sitting across from her, smiled and said, "Who has wronged our Yao'er? I'll help you vent your anger."

Shen Ruyao smiled reluctantly: "I am the only one who can bully others, who can stand up for me?"

Hearing this, Shen Chengying glanced at Luo Shuyi, who was obviously stirring up trouble, with a slightly cold look. Yao'er was spoiled, but her nature was not bad. However, she could not resist the instigation of the villains around her.

He ignored it, just because his mother loved his uncle's family, and it was not worth making his mother sad.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Miss Ning was valued by her father and looked after by her grandmother. Cousin Luo said these things only to make Yaoer look bad.

However, even Shen Chengying could hardly guess what his father was really thinking at the moment.

At this time, Shen Chongyan was staring at Ning'er.

The soft light of early spring gave her originally pale face a faint pink hue. Shen Cunzhu said something to her, and a slightly shy smile appeared on Ning'er's cheek.

Without anyone noticing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slightly brought his mind back from the panic he had felt when he first heard the word "Chao Ning".

He couldn't bear to think about what happened in his previous life, but Ning'er in this life was standing right in front of him.

When Shen Chongyan saw her mother holding her hand and patting it gently, she couldn't help but smile with relief.

In any case, he finally completed the first step and allowed Ning'er to live under his protection openly.

His little girl, he must watch over her and protect her;

Then he would give her everything she deserved, step by step.
