Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

Prince Shun was the emperor's youngest brother, the fourteenth brother. Unlike other princes, Prince Shun's mother was of humble origins, so as soon as he was born, he was taken to be raised by the later Empress Dowager Zhuang.

There is a huge age gap between the emperor and his younger brother, and because the emperor is lonely and alone in the palace, he is very sincere to his younger brother.

It can be said that he was like a brother and a father. Even when the fight for the throne was fierce, he still protected Prince Shun very well.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyan didn't know whether she should be angry or laugh.

What’s funny is that the emperor is actually quite sincere.

What made her angry was that this ridiculous sincerity was directed at her!

In her previous life, she worked very hard, getting up earlier than chickens, sleeping later than dogs, and working harder than cows! When she was the busiest, she even neglected to take care of her face. Her face, which had not collapsed when the previous emperor passed away, had aged ten years when the new emperor ascended the throne!

That's it, and in the end all he got was a poisoning!

No wonder people always say that the imperial family is the most ruthless. Our predecessors were not lying to me!

All the dignitaries in Shengjing City were invited to Prince Shun’s birthday party. Except for the emperor, no one dared to match that scale of ceremony.

However, no one thought there was anything wrong. After all, this was the emperor's favorite brother. Even the princes had to step aside compared to Prince Shun.

Outsiders all say that the emperor was too cruel in his fight for the throne, and he disregarded the feelings of his brothers.

But isn’t Prince Shun doing well now?

Those princes only brought it upon themselves!

Arriving at the gate of Prince Shun's mansion, Shen Ruoyan did not get off the carriage first, but gently instructed the three children:

"This is not a marquis' mansion. Once you enter, you should do whatever others say. Learn more, listen more, and watch more, but talk less."

After all, it is the prince's mansion. It would be fine if nothing goes wrong. But if something goes wrong, Lu Jing's identity will not be enough.

This was also the reason why Shen Ruoyan didn't want to bring her child here before.

Although as a son of a marquis, frequently going to these occasions can indeed broaden one's horizons.

However, she would rather take them to other places more often than bring them to Prince Shun's mansion to broaden their horizons.

People outside don’t know, but she watched Prince Shun and the Emperor grow up, so she knows exactly what kind of people they are!

It is said that Prince Shun was innocent and simple, but the most primitive evil may also start from a blank sheet of paper.

Prince Shun was indeed simple-minded, otherwise, he would not have been "favored" by the emperor.

Among so many younger brothers, he is the only one who is doing well and even arrogant now.

But his biggest flaw is that he protects his own people!

It's the kind of unreasonable protection that is indiscriminate and has a heart smaller than the tip of a needle!

Shen Ruoyan knew that Prince Shun's son was already six years old. He was overbearing and willful, and could be called the living devil of the palace!

"When you meet the prince later and exchange greetings, you should stay as far away from him as possible. Don't even think about making friends with him. There's no need."

Lu Ankang was puzzled and raised his head and asked, "Mom, why is this?"

When she heard that he was coming to Prince Shun's mansion, her mother even told him to make friends with the prince.

Prince Shun is of noble status, and the Crown Prince is a precious commodity who was born with a golden brick in his mouth. To please him is to please the future nobleman!

Fang Rou has made very long-term plans for her son. If Brother Kang can become friends with the prince of Prince Shun's Mansion, who in the Marquis' Mansion will dare to look down on him in the future?

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. However, some people are short-sighted.

"Listen to your mother and stay away from him."

People outside started to urge him, and Shen Ruoyan didn't have time to explain to them in detail.

On the way here just now, Lu Jing was in front of her, so she couldn't say it directly, so she could only take this opportunity to give him a few instructions.

Fortunately, Lu Changchuan listened and said, "Don't worry, mother. We will be careful!"

In Lu Changchuan's opinion, the prince of Shun was a little devil who could not be provoked.

In that case, they just hide.

Shen Ruoyan touched his head with relief, then quickly adjusted her skirt and got off the carriage with the three children.

There are many distinguished guests coming to Prince Shun’s palace today. They are all rich or noble, and no one can afford to offend them.

So Shen Ruoyan followed the rules and followed the guide into the palace.

Lu Jing took a step forward and went to the front.

He has been the talk of the town recently. As soon as he arrived, he was pulled over by people he knew. They were all curious about how he had caught the emperor's eye and suddenly became a Fenglin Guard!

Lu Jing just wanted to show off, so he didn't have time to wait and just followed him!

"Ma'am, please come this way."

There were lights everywhere in the palace, in various shapes. Even on the lake, there were lights floating. Wherever you went, it was brilliant and glorious.

"It's so beautiful..."

Lu Changchuan was stunned. He had never seen such a luxurious scene.

The Changning Marquisate is a family of military generals and does not like exquisite things like those other families.

The decoration in the mansion was extremely simple, and it was only after Shen Ruoyan got married that it was improved a little.

Compared to the royal palace where even the rockery is inlaid with luminous pearls for lighting, it is really not good enough!

Not to mention the children, even Shen Ruoyan was amazed by what she saw along the way.

However, rather than sighing, she felt more angry inside!

Is this the Prince Shun who was the first to jump out and say that his family was poor when she proposed donations from aristocratic families during the flood?

Ha ha!

It’s really thin!

"Everyone, don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home."

The princess sat high on the cloud platform, toasting with everyone from a distance - Shen Ruoyan's position was far away, and she couldn't even see her face clearly...

Even when she was the empress dowager, she was not so pretentious.

If you want to toast, then toast. Sitting alone on a lotus cloud platform, he looks like he is going to become an immortal! Is he afraid that others can see him clearly from such a distance?

But the princess didn't think so. She sat in a higher position than the others, so she had a distance from the people below her.

Her prince is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. How can these family members be equal to her?

In such occasions, people always compete to see who can act better. Shen Ruoyan was no exception, her face was almost frozen from smiling.

"Mom, I need to go to the bathroom."

Lu Ankang quietly pulled her sleeve. Shen Ruoyan looked around and called a servant over.

"You can go together and keep each other company so that you can look after each other."

The children couldn't stay still, and in order to prevent them from all asking to go to the bathroom, Shen Ruoyan simply asked someone to pack up their belongings and take them away.

She continued to hold up her glass and chat with the others. Listening to everyone's false compliments about how Lu Jing was now valued by the emperor, Shen Ruoyan's smile became brighter.

However, before she could shine for long, the child who had gone out was brought back -

But, there is one missing!

"What's going on? Where's Brother Kang?" Shen Ruoyan lowered her voice, not daring to make any noise.

The servant was also sweating profusely, "Just now I took the young masters to relieve themselves, but there were too many people. Young Master Kang said he couldn't hold it any longer, so he went to the woods."

He thought that they were just children, so even if they were seen, it wouldn't be a big deal, so he didn't do anything.

But when he saw Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan coming out, but Brother Kang was nowhere to be seen, he knew something had happened!

Shen Ruoyan's frown was so tight that it could have killed a fly. "You mean, Brother Kang is missing?!"
