The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Shangguan Zirun also looked embarrassed and found it difficult to speak.

Shangguan Ziling was puzzled and asked curiously: "Dad, brother, if you want to say something, just say it directly, why are you hesitating?"

Shangguan Dong sighed and said earnestly: "Zi Ling, your mother passed away early, and your brother and I were busy with official duties all day, so we neglected to discipline you. The nanny we hired for you was also driven away by you. You are not a child anymore, and it is time for you to learn the rules and regulations. Tomorrow, your father will ask Aunt Deng from the palace to come to our house to teach you etiquette and rules."

Shangguan Ziling frowned, and Shangguan Zirun also said: "Sister, the Queen issued an edict today, inviting the wives and daughters of ministers to the palace to attend a banquet in ten days. In the past, sister has caused many troubles when entering the palace, so father wants to ask Aunt Deng to teach sister etiquette and rules, so as to avoid making a joke this time when she enters the palace."

Shangguan Ziling recalled that when the original owner entered the palace, he did not understand the rules of the palace and was often talked about behind his back. Later, he was tricked into going to the Queen's Zhengyang Palace, where he broke the Queen's favorite landscape vase and was punished by the Queen to kneel outside the Zhengyang Palace for a whole day. When his father heard the news, he gave up his face and begged the Emperor to come, which made the Queen calm down and leave the palace with his father.

Shangguan Dong thought that Shangguan Ziling disagreed to learn the rules again, so he frowned and said in a tough tone: "Whether you agree or not, Aunt Deng will come to teach you etiquette tomorrow morning, so you should learn it well."

"My daughter agrees."

"Ah? You agree? In the past, when I said I would teach you some rules, you would make a scene. Did I hear you correctly? Do you really agree and are not just perfunctorily asking me to do it?"

Shangguan Ziling nodded and said, "Dad, I'm serious."

Shangguan Dong said with relief: "Then Zi Ling, start from tomorrow, don't go out and learn the rules in the mansion well."

"Um"

"Then you should wash up and rest early. Your father and your brother will go back soon."

"Um"

Shangguan Dong was stunned for a moment when he saw his well-behaved and obedient daughter, but he quickly attributed it to the fact that his daughter had grown up and finally become sensible.

Shangguan Dong suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "Where did the Regent take you today? Why did you come back so late?"

"I went to Butterfly Valley and saw the sea of ​​crape myrtle flowers."

"Just to see the sea of ​​flowers?"

"Um"

Shangguan Dong waved his hand and left with Shangguan Zirun.

The two of them left the Crimson Purple Courtyard and returned to the study. Shangguan Zirun said: "Father, why didn't you tell my sister that the Queen is holding a banquet this time to select a princess for the prince."

Shangguan Dong said: "What is there to say? I am so happy that your sister doesn't like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now."

"Then father asked a famous aunt to teach his sister the rules?"

Shangguan Dong whispered: "It's because I'm afraid that she doesn't know the rules and will offend the dignitaries in the palace. Your sister is not popular, and the women in the palace are not easy to deal with. She might be implicated if things go wrong."

"Father, aren't you worried about my sister and the Regent?"

"Alas! The Regent is so young, but he holds great power. It may not be a bad thing that he likes Zi Ling. At least he has the ability to protect Zi Ling. The only bad thing is that the Regent is regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side and he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible! If your sister really wants to marry into the Regent's Mansion, I'm afraid it will be unstable! If it weren't for this, your father would quite admire him and would be very relieved that you, Zi Ling, would marry the Regent. However, the bad thing is that the emperor is very afraid of the Regent. If you, Zi Ling, marry into the Regent's Mansion, I'm afraid he would be the first to disagree and he would also be suspicious of my Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Then father still agrees with my sister's relationship with the Regent?"

Shangguan Dong sat on the chair, thinking about many things, and said: "Who said that my father agreed?"

"Father didn't stop me, did he?"

Shangguan Dong sighed again and said, "I just haven't found the right person for Zi Ling. I thought the second son of the Minister of Revenue was good. He was modest, polite, and knowledgeable. But before I could finish talking to the Minister of Revenue, he said that his second son already had a lover and was just about to propose marriage. I was so embarrassed as a father that I almost lost my face!"

"Father, don't you think my sister is very different from before? Now she is independent and smart. You may not have to worry so much about your sister's marriage. I believe that with the ability of the Regent, he will handle it. Don't worry about it."

"This is the only way. Let's take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work out, I will resign for my father, quit the position of prime minister, and return home."

Shangguan Zirun was shocked and said, "Father, things may not be as serious as you think."

Shangguan Dong smiled bitterly. The emperor was too suspicious. The regent was in charge of 200,000 Mohist soldiers. They were elites who had fought in the battlefield with the late emperor and General Mo. Even the enemy countries would be in chaos when they heard about the Mohist army. The emperor was obsessed with how to take back the military power of the Mohist army. All the generals in the court obeyed the orders of the regent. He was also the head of the civil officials. It would be strange if the emperor could feel at ease if his daughter married the regent!

Shangguan Zirun also thought of this and his face turned grim.

Shangguan Dong waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's enough for us father and son to know about this matter. Don't tell Zi Ling about it. Be low-key in the Hanlin Academy in the future and don't take the lead in everything."

"Yes, father, I understand."

Shangguan Ziling didn't know that her father and brother were worried about her and the Regent.

After Shangguan Ziling finished washing up, she sent a few maids away, entered the space, and began to clean up the belongings she had put in in her previous life.

Shangguan Ziling looked at the gold bars and said with satisfaction: "Little Fatty, it's a good thing that I had foresight to collect some gold bars in my previous life. If I had put them all in RMB, I would probably be depressed to death now."

Shangguan Ziling opened the box, and the golden bars dazzled her eyes. She smiled. There were fifteen small boxes in the box, each weighing fifty kilograms. She had to exchange one hundred million yuan for money! She was a rich woman in modern times, but it was a pity that she had lost her villa, luxury car, and the money in her bank card.

However, having these gold bars was a consolation. Shangguan Ziling cleaned up her bottles and jars. They were all medicines she had made in modern times, including poisons and antidotes, but the quantities were not large.

"Master, why are you cleaning up these medicines?"

"I put a lot of them in before, and I don't remember them very clearly. I have to see what they are used for so that I can know which medicines are in the space when I need them next time."

"Oh, master, let me help you clean up."

"Um"

The man and the spirit of the artifact were busy in the space for a full hour before they cleaned up all the bottles and jars. They put notes on them to make it easier to take them next time.

After finishing, Shangguan Ziling left the space and went to sleep and rest.

The next day, early in the morning, Shangguan Ziling was awakened by Chunxiao and Xia Yu.

Shangguan Ziling was drowsy and yawning as she looked at the two girls. "Why did you wake me up so early? Don't you know that disturbing someone's sweet sleep is the most shameful thing?"
