A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

House of Ministers of the Household Department.

In the Jushan Hall, which is specially used to entertain guests, the old lady Qin, the newly appointed Minister He, the minister's wife Huang, the concubine Zhang, several concubines and children gathered together.

In addition to people from the Shangshu Mansion, He Shangshu also invited several colleagues with good personal relationships.

Huang and Qin each invited ladies with whom they had good friendships.

These people gathered together to celebrate Yanyue's birthday.

Seven-year-old boys and girls are seated in separate seats. He Yanyue, who will be six years old after her birthday, and He Qianqian, who is not yet her birthday, are not in the same seats.

At that time, the two siblings were surrounded by a group of small groups. A young man in brocade clothes asked: "He Sanlang, I heard that you invited Princess Protector? Will the princess really come?"

The young man is the seventh son of the Minister of Industry and Industry. Although he is not a direct descendant, he is quite favored.

After the young man in brocade clothes asked, a group of small groups looked at He Yanyue curiously.

He Yanyue smiled shyly and was about to say something when a cold snort sounded from beside her: "Princess Protector is a first-class princess. How could such a noble person like her attend the birthday party of a little concubine?"

This is also a small dumpling, but it is older than He Yanyue and looks to be about seven or eight years old.

After listening to it, all the members felt that it made sense.

A little girl in a pink gauze skirt nodded with deep understanding: "My mother said so too!"

Seeing both of them saying this, the other group members hesitated even more: "Huh? No way? Isn't the princess coming?"

"No wonder my mother was mumbling at home before I came, asking why my father wouldn't let my sister-in-law come over with such a good opportunity. It turns out it's because the princess won't come at all!"

The group members were muttering and looking at He Yanyue with strange eyes.

The girl in the pink gauze skirt hummed: "My mother said, you are not a good boy who lies! He Sanlang, I don't want to play with you anymore!"

He Yanyue's poor smiling face suddenly turned pale, but he didn't know how to refute.

Bastard.

This is the word he has heard most in his short life of this year, and it is also the original sin.

If you think about it carefully, what these people say does make sense.

The princess is the emperor's eldest daughter and the most noble woman in the prosperous country. Due to her ability, she was awarded the title of a first-class protector princess.

How could such a noble person come to celebrate his birthday?

After all, he is just a little bastard, and his mother's status is not yet glorious.

The little boy couldn't refute, so he could only lower his head.

He Qianqian was not a softie. She put her hands on her hips and glared at the speaker fiercely: "He Yanfeng, stop talking nonsense! My brother didn't lie! He never said that the princess would come from the beginning to the end. It was me who said of!"

"The princess always sticks to her word. She will definitely come when she says she will come!"

He Yanfeng is the son of Mrs. Zhang, the second son of He Shangshu.

Of course, he is also a bastard.

But because the Huang family and the Zhang family were cousins, even though He Yanfeng was not a legitimate son, he was treated like a legitimate son.

On weekdays, He Yanfeng always regarded himself as this person and looked down on his other brothers.

The Huang family, who had not given birth to a son for a long time, initially wanted to record He Yanfeng in her name, but because He Qianqian was attracted by Princess Jialuo, she postponed the registration.

In the past six months, every time He Yanfeng confronted He Yanyue, Huang and others would choose to side with He Yanyue, which made him angry and resentful.

"Who do you think you are? Do you really think the princess likes you so much? She just treats you like kittens and puppies to tease you. She just feeds you on weekdays and teases you. It's like celebrating the birthday of a bastard herself. She won't do such a derogatory thing." He Yanfeng bared his white teeth and said, "Otherwise, why wouldn't she come at this time? We've all finished our meal!"

He Qianqian was furious, but couldn't say anything to refute.

Yes, they have finished eating, and the birthday party is over.

How can anyone celebrate someone's birthday and not arrive before the banquet starts?
Could it be that the princess really...

Do not!
He Qianqian glared at He Yanfeng angrily: "The princess is a good person! Even if the princess doesn't come today, it's because she has something to do and can't come. It's definitely not what you said!"

She believes in the princess!
The doubts of the little dumplings were also the doubts of the adults present.

An adult wearing navy blue private clothes looked at the door for the tenth time: "Master He, the dinner party is over, why hasn't the princess come yet?"

The same situation also happened with Qin and Huang.

He Shangshu, his mother, and his beloved wife were helpless and could only speak in an official tone: "This...maybe the princess is busy?"

How do they know why the princess didn't come?

Obviously the little girl Qianqian said that the princess has already agreed!
Among the colleagues who came today, some of them had higher official positions than the Minister of Hubu. They all came for the princess's sake. Now that the princess has not come, these people looked at He Shangshu in the wrong way.

"Since the princess is not coming, I won't bother you anymore. Master He, take your leave!"

The first person to speak was Qin Tianjian.

In the Sheng Kingdom, Qin Tianjian was a second-rank official. Although he was only in charge of observing celestial phenomena, customizing calendars, and a series of matters unrelated to government affairs, he was the most trusted department of the emperor. Every policy in the government was customized. Do not open Qintian Prison.

In a year, the emperor met with the Qin Tianjian more times than he met with the prime minister.

Lord Qin Tianjian Ma came to celebrate the birthday of a concubine from the Shangshu Mansion just for the sake of the princess.

Unexpectedly, the princess herself did not appear.

With the first person leaving, there will be a second and third one.

Not long after, all the guests in the Jushan Hall left, leaving only He Shangshu and his family.

The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant.

He Qianqian's sister and brother noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and were a little uneasy.

He Qianqian was very scared, but she still protected her younger brother behind her and shouted stickyly: "Father?"

Lord He asked solemnly: "Qianqian, my father is asking you, has the princess really promised you to come over?"

He Qianqian nodded quickly and was about to speak when a gentle voice sounded: "Master, I heard that Princess Jialuo will do what she says. If she really agrees, there is no way she will not come."

"Given the background of a princess, it is impossible for her to forget the etiquette. Even if she forgets it because she is busy, it is impossible for the people in her house to forget it."

The person who spoke was Mrs. Zhang.

With each additional word she said, He Shangshu's face became more ugly. In the end, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like he could drip out ink: "Rebellious girl! Do you know that because of one of your lies, I am disgraced?" What a big man!”

Leng Lanzhi was sitting in the speeding carriage, looking at the night that had completely darkened, feeling a little anxious: "Is Yue'er's birthday party over?"

She had already made preparations to go to the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, so she put the gifts in the carriage early in the morning.

Things in the palace happened suddenly, and she forgot to hand the things to the housekeeper for a while, so she asked the housekeeper to deliver them first.

"Hope it's not too late." (End of chapter)
