The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Shangguan Ziling put the two cups into the food box and said, "There are still some left. You guys can eat them. I'm going to have dinner with my father and brother. You two don't need to follow me."

"Yes, thank you Miss," they said in unison.

Nanny Qin and Nanny Li watched Shangguan Ziling leave with the food box before they went into the kitchen and asked Chunxiao and Xia Yu about it. Only then did they realize that the eldest lady was really making peach blossom soup.

Chunxiao said with a smile: "Madame Qin, Madame Li, look, the young lady left some for us. I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks so we can try the young lady's cooking skills."

The two maids looked at each other with some relief in their eyes. Their eldest daughter was becoming more and more sensible. However, when did she learn how to cook? When they asked the two maids, they knew nothing about it. They attributed it to her intelligence.

Shangguan Ziling came to the front yard carrying the food box and saw her brother and father waiting there.

Shangguan Ziling quickened her pace and walked over.

Shangguan Zirun came back and heard from his father that his sister had made peach blossom soup for them personally. At first, he didn't believe it, but now when he saw his sister carrying the food box, he believed it.

Shangguan Zirun walked forward, took the food box and carried it himself.

Shangguan Dong said: "Hurry, go in. I just asked Lin Jian to go over and take a look. Now he has come back quickly and told your father that you are on the way. Your father has asked the kitchen to serve the dishes and is waiting for you."

After they went in and sat down, Shangguan Zirun quickly opened the food box. He thought that no matter what his sister cooked, he would say it was delicious. But now, seeing that he looked very hungry, he took the bowl, served one bowl to his father, one bowl to his sister, and finally one bowl to himself.

Shangguan Zirun served herself a bowl and couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and take a bite. "Well, not bad, delicious," Shangguan Zirun said sincerely.

Shangguan Dong also tasted it and said: "Hmm, not bad! I like it very much."

"Daddy, brother, as long as you like it, I will make other food for you in the future."

"No need. There are servants in the mansion. Don't make your hands rough. Dad will be very happy if you come to have meals with him occasionally."

"Yes, sister, you have to take care of your hands as a girl."

Shangguan Ziling stretched out a pair of flawless white hands, looked at them, and said: "Daddy, brother, don't worry, my hands will not become rough, I will protect them well."

The two grown men turned away awkwardly and started eating the peach blossom soup.

Everyone enjoyed the meal. After Shangguan Ziling finished her meal, she returned to her own Jiangziyuan.

Shangguan Dong and Shangguan Zirun went to the study.

"Father, it's getting late. Is there anything wrong?"

"It seems that Zi Ling is not bothered by the rumors today."

"What rumors? What happened?" Shangguan Zirun came back late, and by that time the rumors had already been suppressed by Xiao Zijin, so naturally he didn't hear about them.

After Shangguan Dong spread rumors to Shangguan Zirun, Shangguan Zirun's chest trembled with anger.

"Don't be angry. I don't know why, but later on, because the son of the king's uncle in the capital ran out of a brothel naked in broad daylight, people were talking about it and relishing it. That's how the rumors about your sister were suppressed."

Shangguan Zirun thought for a while and said, "Father, is it such a coincidence?"

"Humph! Fu Lei relies on his father being the Queen's eldest brother to act lawless. He idles around all day long and visits brothels are a common occurrence. He is a good-for-nothing and it couldn't be better for him to make a fool of himself."

Shangguan Zirun said "hmm" and stopped worrying about it. As long as his sister was fine, it was good.

Xiao Zijin was proudly telling Mo Shaoxie and Le Wenshu about what happened to Fu Lei today.

Le Wenshu felt sympathy for Fu Lei for a second. It was his bad luck to meet Xiao Zijin.

Xiao Zijin had just found the genius doctor Xue Zhiyan and got a medicine called "Losing Soul Powder" that could make people go crazy and lose their minds. This was the latest medicine developed by the genius doctor Xue Zhiyan, but it could only last for a quarter of an hour, but it was already powerful enough.

At the Fu Mansion, the emperor's uncle Fu Shengqiang was holding a whip in his hand and looking at Fu Lei with a gloomy face.

Fu Lei knelt on the ground, trembling. Although he was fearless normally, he was only afraid of his father.

Mrs. Fu hugged her trembling son and cried, "Master, someone must have done something to Lei'er, otherwise why would Lei'er be like this?"

"This evil son has brought disgrace to our Fu family. Madam, are you still protecting him? It is true that a loving mother has a spoiled son." Fu Shengqiang said angrily while walking back and forth angrily.

Madam Fu said: "It's no big deal. The eldest daughter-in-law will go to the palace tomorrow and tell Xue'er, and see who dares to talk about our Lei'er. We, the Fu family, are royal relatives, so we won't be allowed to be talked about by those unruly people."

"Mother, you just spoil this evil son. Look at what you've done to him. Xue'er is no longer the same person she used to be. She is now the queen, high and mighty. How can you ask her for help with even the smallest matters?" Fu Shengqiang disagreed.

"So what if she's the queen? She was born from my belly. My eldest daughter-in-law, go to the palace tomorrow and have a good talk with Xue'er. Put those gossipers into jail to serve as a warning to others."

Fu Lei was immediately happy when he saw his grandmother speaking for him and even asking his aunt, the Queen, to suppress those who were gossiping.

Fu Shengqiang felt that his mother was becoming more and more unruly as she aged, so he angrily threw away the whip and left in anger.

Old Madam Fu helped Fu Lei up with a distressed look on her face, "Oh, Lei'er, are you scared? Look at your father, huh, it's just a small matter, but he is so angry. Your legs must be sore from kneeling, go wash up and have a rest."

"Thank you grandma."

…………

Shangguan Ziling dismissed the servants and asked them to go downstairs to rest. She stayed alone in the room, opened the window, and looked at the dazzling stars in the sky.

"Master, what's so good about these stars?"

"I haven't seen stars for a long time. As far as I can remember, I saw them when I was a child. After I grew up, I no longer see a sky full of stars like this."

"Ling'er, you are so leisurely and elegant."

Shangguan Ziling was startled, looked at the newcomer, frowned and said: "Regent, I wonder what evil wind brought you here?"

"Ling'er, is it okay for me to call you like this?"

Shangguan Ziling shook off the goose bumps on her body, not understanding what this guy was crazy about today. Not only did he break into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, but he also called her in such a disgusting way.

"Did the Regent take the wrong medicine today? Did he go to the wrong place?"

"No, I came here tonight specially to accompany Ling'er to watch the stars."

"Stop, Mo Shaoxie, you are the regent of a country, can you be a little more normal?"

"Hmm? Ling'er, call my name again. I like you to call me by my name instead of calling me Regent like others do."

Shangguan Ziling's mouth twitched. What on earth is this guy up to tonight?

"Ling'er?"

"Haha, Mo Shaoxie, you don't have a fever tonight, do you? Is it really okay for you to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion at night like this?"

"Fever? What does Ling'er mean?"

Shangguan Ziling forgot that this was ancient times, and here it was called fever. Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath and said: "Regent, it's getting late tonight, so we should leave early, so as not to be noticed by the night patrol guards in the mansion, which would be bad for both you and me."

"Ling'er, don't worry. The guards at the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot possibly notice my arrival."

Ah hey! This is just an excuse to get rid of people!

Mo Shaoxie took out an exquisite box from his sleeve and said: "Ling'er, this is for you. Open it and see if you like it."
