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

"Madam, is there anything wrong with this flower viewing banquet?"

Chunxi saw Shen Ruoyan staring at the invitation in a daze and thought she was worried. Although being invited by the princess was an honor for the noble ladies.

But the princess is of noble status and has a beautiful body, so she must not be someone who is easy to get along with.

Isn’t the princess of Prince Shun’s mansion a living example?

Seeing her master in distress, Chunxi couldn't help but worry, "If Madam doesn't want to go, how about pretending to be sick?"

Shen Ruoyan didn't expect that Chunxi would misunderstand her attitude. For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, feeling her kindness also comforted Shen Ruoyan's heart, which was trapped in the painful memories.

"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired and distracted."

The past is like a passing cloud.

But the emotions that have been given cannot be faked and will never be blown away by the wind.

Even though so much time has passed, when she thinks of those things that happened back then, hatred is like a seed that has broken through the soil, constantly taking root and sprouting in her heart - she wishes she could go to the mausoleum, dig out the late emperor, and cut him into pieces!

Shen Ruoyan asked Chunxi to put the invitation away. She also found an exquisite little box for Chunxi to put it in to avoid getting it dirty.

Chun Xi smiled and said, "Although the invitation from the Princess's Mansion is precious, I didn't expect that Madam would attach so much importance to it."

What she didn't know was that the invitations to the Princess's Mansion were all written by Princess Yihe herself. Therefore, she would pay special attention to the people she invited.

Only after learning what Prince Shun's wife had done did they withdraw the invitation so decisively.

Although this child was raised by her side, his temperament was very similar to Wei Yuanyuan's. This was what Shen Ruoyan was thankful for, but also what she felt most distressed about.

Appreciating flowers and drinking tea are the things Wei Yuanyuan hates the most.

Song Siyuan is no exception.

When she was around, she never had to prepare these useless banquets. She could just ride horses and hunt freely according to her own preferences.

But now, the invitation says it is for a flower viewing party, not a hunting competition...

It seems that the emperor, this "good brother", takes good care of her!

Since Princess Yihe left the palace to build her own residence, I haven't seen her for a long time. Although she often came to the palace to visit me, she had to consider etiquette and rules, so her visits were limited, and gradually we became distant.

The emperor said that the princess had grown up and had her own ideas, so it was normal that she didn't want to be confined in the palace.

At that time, I thought, if that's the case, let her be free outside the palace.

Even though she was the child I raised, I didn't want to restrict her.

Wei Yuanyuan didn't want to enter the palace at first. In her mind, this magnificent palace was a big cage that locked up the emperor's life and everyone related to him.

Everyone respected the emperor, except her, who looked down on him.

If it weren't for the Wei family, she would rather die than enter the palace to be a concubine!

Unfortunately, in the end, he still died because of the Wei family.

Lu Hua was a little disappointed by Song Siyuan's estrangement from her, but she felt less sad when she thought that her daughter was living a better life outside.

At least, she could give Wei Yuanyuan an explanation.

"I wonder if she is doing well now..." With this thought, Shen Ruoyan slowly closed his eyes. He hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and when he met her again, he didn't expect that it would be in such a strange situation.

To be honest, she was still a little looking forward to it.

The flower-viewing banquet at Princess Yihe's mansion is held inside the princess' mansion.

When the princess's mansion was first built, the queen mother specifically instructed that everything should be built according to the highest standards. The garden alone was so large that it was amazing. Not only were there various precious flowers planted, but there were also fruit trees that the princess loved.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, every season has different beautiful scenery to enjoy.

Even if she leaves the palace, she will not feel wronged at all.

Now, Shen Ruoyan was in a peach forest. Looking at the peach blossoms blooming all over the sky, she suddenly felt refreshed.

When she first planned this place, she hoped that her daughter could dance with swords and drink wine in the sea of ​​flowers. Just thinking about that scene made her feel extremely comfortable.

When she was still the Empress Dowager, she couldn't be too partial to one person because she had to consider the Emperor's feelings. After the Princess's Mansion was built, she never came once.

Now that I have become Shen Ruoyan, I didn't expect to be invited in so openly. I felt a little dazed.

"The princess is here!"

Following a high-pitched voice, everyone turned around and looked behind them. Shen Ruoyan also quickly put down the tea in her hand and slowly turned around.

The maids in luxurious clothes first appeared in front of everyone. They lined up on both sides, surrounding the princess in plain clothes in the middle. The hairpins on her head were dazzling, comparable to those of ordinary girls.

The most noble princess had only a wooden hairpin to adorn her entire body, and she didn't even have any makeup on her face.

Shen Ruoyan looked at her blankly. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten who he was and where he was.

She just watched greedily, fearing that in the next second, all this would turn into nothingness like a dream at night.

"Why is the princess dressed like this? Wearing all white, someone who doesn't know would think..."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense about the royal family, do you want to die?!"

The princess's outfit naturally attracted the attention of the people present. Many of them were invited for the first time and did not know the inside story. Even Shen Ruoyan had a hint of doubt in her heart.

She remembered that although Yuan'er did not like complicated things, she also liked jewelry, but she preferred simpler styles.

How can it be so bland?

This is really not her style.

Just as she thought of this, she heard the person beside her explain in a low voice: "Madam, you don't know, Empress Dowager De'an passed away, and the princess is deeply saddened. Although the mourning period has passed, the princess still wears plain clothes and eats vegetarian food, just to pray for the Empress Dowager, and hope that she will have a peaceful afterlife."

Snap.

The teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and the noise made by Shen Ruoyan quickly attracted the attention of everyone present.

All those present were noble ladies and rich girls. They had learned etiquette since childhood and had never seen anyone as reckless as Shen Ruoyan.

As soon as he arrived at the princess's mansion, he broke the cups. Is this the education of the Changning Marquis's mansion?

Shen Ruoyan tried hard to control herself and not lose her composure in public. But if you look closely, you can see that her hands are still shaking uncontrollably - especially when Princess Yihe looked over!

"Princess, this is probably the first time that Marquis Changning's wife has entered such a distinguished place, so she behaved inappropriately in front of you. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against her."

The lady of the Earl of Tongchang spoke up to help Shen Ruoyan out, but her tone was filled with ridicule. It seemed like she was helping him out, but in fact she was adding insult to injury, showing everyone that Shen Ruoyan was just not presentable enough.

She is on good terms with Prince Shun’s wife, so naturally she would not miss this opportunity!

But at this time, Shen Ruoyan didn't have any thoughts about her! Her heart and eyes were full of the person sitting in the high position. That night, the child kept crying, and she held him and coaxed him all night.

The child who would proudly stand in front of him every time he danced with a sword and said he would protect his mother for the rest of his life...

The child whose smile is as warm as the sun——

But now he was wearing plain clothes, with cold eyes, drinking wine without any thoughts, "It's okay, I don't care."

My mother is gone, and there is no fun in this world anymore.

These women were just as annoying as those in the harem. If it weren't for the glory and mansion bestowed by her mother, she would have been too lazy to deal with them and would have shaved her head and become a nun long ago!
