The Concubine in the Coffin

Chapter 151 Why is the princess regent so aggressive
Just as everyone was relieved, Zong Zhengyu's abrupt words made everyone feel anxious again.

"The princess has not agreed yet."

His low voice spoke weakly, and everyone immediately cast their gazes at Feng Canglan.

She squinted at Zong Zhengyu, why didn't she think of her before.

"Excuse me." But she should be following the steps that Zong Zhengyu gave her.

"Thank you, Princess Regent."

Everyone sat down, lost the freedom they had at the beginning, and became cautious because of Zong Zhengyu's arrival.

Feng Canglan Zong Zhengyu took his seat, and everyone was already there.

The birthday banquet officially began.

Marquis Ping walked to the stage that had been set up, "Every colleague can come to the humble house, and it will make the humble house flourish."

"Today is my 40th birthday, the person who washed snacks and buried half of his body in the dirt without knowing it..." Pinghou said a lot of emotions, and finally concluded, "Everyone, don't be polite, please eat and drink well."

Everyone responded symbolically.

All the nerves are tense.

They really didn't know that Pinghou invited the regent, and the key came.

Had they known this, they would never have come to Pinghou Mansion.

Although Zong Zhengyu has retired from the court for more than two years, the ministers are still physically afraid to see Zong Zhengyu.

My mind is full of the fear of being dominated by Zong Zhengyu in the court.

After Pinghou's mansion came down, there was a Magu's birthday on the top.

It was obviously a birthday banquet, but it was deserted, without the slightest lively atmosphere.

Feng Canglan looked left and right, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "You look so cold, are you here to celebrate your birthday or to make trouble."

Zong Zhengyu paused slightly with his hand turning the beads, and glanced lightly.

All the officials in the audience bowed their heads, and some even trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't worry about my king."

"What to do, just pretend that this king doesn't exist."

When Zong Zhengyu spoke, the ministers laughed wryly, how could they dare to ignore you.

I was scared in my heart, but I had to pretend to be happy and natural on the surface.

Feng Canglan raised his eyebrows and secretly glanced at Pinghou, looking at Pinghou Dabai's cheeks, he could probably understand it.

A good birthday banquet, Zong Zhengyu almost turned into a mourning hall when he came.

Just look at the atmosphere.

Feng Canglan couldn't help lowering his head and laughing lowly, and after laughing, he raised his head and met a bunch of unkind eyes.

She looked for her gaze, only to see that the owner of that gaze looked familiar.

Qiu Shuitong narrowed his eyes slightly, searching for information about the girl in green in his mind.

Oh!
Feng Canglan suddenly raised his eyebrows and remembered, isn't this Lin Yixue's younger sister, Lin Lin?
She remembered that Lin Yixue's family was only a seventh-rank official, how could Lin Lin appear in Pinghou's mansion.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and Lin Lin looked at her provocatively with a smile on her face.

Feng Canglan lifted her eyebrows slightly, she didn't have any extra thoughts to waste with a little girl, she closed her eyes and continued drinking tea.

As soon as he picked up the teacup, Hui Yu walked over anxiously and whispered in his ear, "Miss, our birthday gift has been ruined."

Hui Yu quietly opened the brocade box, and a single word was now broken into pieces.

Only Ban Shun stayed, Hui Yu covered the brocade box.

A stern look appeared between Feng Canglan's brows, "Who is it?"

"Hui Yu just went to the toilet, and it's like this when he comes back."

"I..." Feng Canglan was about to speak, when Lin Lin's voice suddenly sounded, "What gift did the Princess Regent send Marquis Ping?"

Lin Lin's voice was particularly abrupt at the relatively quiet banquet.

Her voice drew everyone's attention to Feng Canglan.

"It must be a very rare gift." Lin Lin continued, not noticing the changing expressions of the ministers around her.

Many people present knew that Lin Lin and Xiao Wang got mixed up.

Now, relying on Xiao Wang's favor, Lin Lin openly made trouble for Feng Canglan at Pinghou's birthday banquet.

Writing an idiot is not going to trouble Feng Canglan.

It was clearly looking for trouble with the Prince Regent's House.

No matter how Feng Canglan grew up as a farmer, she is still the princess of the Prince Regent's House.

It represents the Prince Regent's Mansion, and the face that slaps Feng Canglan is the face of the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Those present are all old foxes who have been in the court for many years, and their family members are also champions in the house fight. They don't know what Lin Lin means by saying this.

In all likelihood, Feng Canglan tampered with Feng Canglan's congratulatory gift, and then let the other party open it in public to embarrass her.

For a while, everyone bowed their heads to minimize the sense of presence, and looked at it from the corner of their eyes, not wanting to miss this wonderful show.

"How did Miss Lin know?"

"Could it be that you have opened this princess' congratulatory brocade box?" Feng Canglan should not have asked.

A few words pushed Lin Lin into a corner, and there was no way she could retreat. Even if she did this kind of thing, she would never admit it, but it was tantamount to looking for trouble for nothing.

Lin Lin's face turned pale, she didn't expect that Feng Canglan's congratulatory gifts were ruined and she could still remain as still as a mountain without changing her expression.

"The concubine was joking, the congratulatory gift is in the hands of the concubine's maid, how could Lin Lin open it?"

"How proud is that? There are rare gifts in this brocade box?"

"Could it be that you deliberately want this princess to lose face in front of everyone?" Feng Canglan asked sharply.

Lin Lin never expected that this would be the consequence, neither advancing nor retreating.

There was a look of panic in her eyes, and she quickly cast a look for help to King Xiao who was not far away.

Xiao Wang received the gaze and said coldly, "Miss Lin is just curious."

"Why is the Princess Regent so aggressive?"

Gee.

She is too lazy to argue with fools.

Feng Canglan didn't even give Xiao Wang a look, and turned to look at Pinghou, "Since everyone is so curious, please ask Pinghou to open the present in public."

In the hearts of the ministers, we are not curious, so don't involve me in it.

This birthday banquet can be said to be in dire straits, and Ping Hou, who never liked these twists and turns, did not push.

Feng Canglan turned his head to give Hui Yu a look, Hui Yu tightened his arms around the brocade box, a little flustered, "Miss."

"It's okay, send it over."

Feng Canglan had already spoken, so Hui Yu could only go over holding the brocade box.

Pinghou stretched out his hand to open the brocade box, and everyone looked over at the same time, stretching their necks.

Everyone guessed in their hearts that it must be bad, but they didn't know what it was, and they were all aroused curiosity.

The brocade box was untied, and inside lay the torn pieces of calligraphy and painting.

Pinghou's face changed drastically immediately, and a sinister smile appeared on Lin Lin's face.

"Ah... the dignified Princess Regent, what is the intention of sending a damaged gift?"

"It's still Pinghou's birthday today, it's really bad luck."

Lin Lin didn't feel the eyes of her surroundings at all, relying on Xiao Wang's favor and pampering her.

Not only did Feng Canglan not pay attention, even Zong Zhengyu was ignored.

In her opinion, Zong Zhengyu is just a disabled prince who can't even enter the court, but a waste is naturally not as good as King Xiao.

The audience was as quiet as a chicken, watching how the gaffe would develop next.

"Ah!" Feng Canglan suddenly said, and patted his forehead, "Look at my memory."

"It's not from this side, it's from the bottom." She got up and turned the brocade box over as she spoke.

Only then did everyone realize that the brocade box was opened on both sides.

Feng Canglan opened the lid, took out the contents, and waved her hand...
