The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife
Chapter 432 Making things difficult
"Great! Our Li'er finally woke up!" Nangong Mingxuan said excitedly.
"Yes, I knew that our Li'er was the strongest!" Ouyang Miaoling also said with tears.
The two immediately decided to go to Jun Mansion to see their daughter.
When they arrived at Jun's Mansion, they saw Ouyang Li sitting on the bed with a happy smile on her face.
Although her body was still very weak, she was able to speak completely. She said happily: "Dad, Mom, you are here!" Ouyang Li's eyes were full of joy when she saw her parents.
"Li'er, you finally woke up! That's great!" Nangong Mingxuan and Ouyang Miaoling hugged Ouyang Li tightly, tears welling up in their eyes again.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry for so long." Ouyang Li said guiltily.
"Silly child, as long as you are safe and sound, it will be the greatest comfort to us." Nangong Mingxuan gently stroked Ouyang Li's hair.
"Yes, Li'er, you must take good care of yourself in the future and don't make us worry anymore. You are already a family man." Ouyang Miaoling also advised.
Ouyang Li nodded and said that she would take care of herself. She felt very happy at the moment because she had such a loving family.
In the following days, Ouyang Li's body gradually recovered. She began to learn to get out of bed and walk slowly again. Everything was moving in the right direction.
Jun Sa and Wang Leqing have always been by her side, giving her endless love and support.
At the same time, everyone in the Regent's Palace was busy preparing for his daughter's return banquet, but Nangong Mingxuan did not stay in the palace to take charge of the overall situation. He had more important things to deal with.
On the night when she and Ouyang Miaoling returned from Jun Mansion, Nangong Mingxuan had already prepared for the return journey.
Before leaving, he secretly went to the palace to meet the emperor and discussed matters with him for a long time.
After leaving the palace, he hurried back to the palace, left a letter for his son, and then took Jun Sa with him and set out on the journey to leave Beijing without stopping.
Ouyang Miaoling was well aware of the urgency of the military situation and understood that national affairs always take precedence over personal matters, so she did not feel resentful about Nangong Mingxuan's sudden departure.
Instead, she decided to let Gu Ying disguise himself as Nangong Mingxuan again, to host a return banquet for his daughter and entertain the male guests.
Over the years, whenever Nangong Mingxuan secretly left the imperial capital, Gu Ying would stay behind to handle various affairs on his behalf. Now, Gu Ying has become very familiar with pretending to be the regent.
The return banquet was held three days later, and Jun Rui accompanied Ouyang Li back home.
Although her body was still very weak, she was much better than before. With Jun Rui's support, she could already walk a long way.
"Princess, the lady is back!" Xiaoyue said excitedly.
"Come with me to see, my Li'er is finally back!" Ouyang Miaoling said excitedly, and personally went forward to greet her daughter.
As soon as Ouyang Li entered the room, she was hugged tightly by her mother, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried. Ouyang Miaoling looked at her daughter carefully, fearing that she would miss any details. After confirming that her daughter was in good health, she smiled with relief.
"Li'er, you're finally back!" Ouyang Miaoling said.
"Mom, I'm back." Ouyang Li responded.
At this moment, a maid ran over and reported to Ouyang Miaoling: "Princess, someone is coming from the palace!"
"Oh? What's the matter?" Ouyang Miaoling asked puzzledly.
"Princess, the emperor and the queen have sent messengers to deliver generous gifts, as well as some precious items from the palace," the maid replied.
"Well, I see." Ouyang Miaoling frowned slightly, wondering in her heart, what exactly does this mean? Do the emperor and the queen want to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with the regent's palace? Or do they have other intentions?
Just as Ouyang Miaoling was thinking, another maid came to report: "Princess, someone from the palace said that the Queen has requested permission to come to the palace in person to present a gift to the young lady."
Hearing this news, Ouyang Miaoling's face changed slightly, and she sighed in her heart, thinking that the visitor had bad intentions. But she also understood that since the queen was coming, she could only bite the bullet and receive her.
Therefore, Ouyang Miaoling ordered the servants to prepare the banquet and told everyone to be alert to welcome the arrival of the queen. After all, the queen was a difficult character and could cause a storm if she was not careful.
Just as everyone was eagerly waiting, the Queen's carriage finally arrived at the Regent's Palace. "Guying" led the ministers to greet them, while Ouyang Miaoling and the court ladies waited in the backyard to welcome the Queen's arrival.
The Queen's carriage slowly drove into the palace. The guard of honor was so majestic that it attracted everyone's attention.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the queen stepped out of the carriage with the help of her maids. She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a pearl crown on her head, and she looked very graceful.
"Bone Shadow" quickly led all the ministers to kneel down to greet them, "Long live the Queen, long live the Queen, long live the Queen..."
The queen looked at everyone, put on the demeanor of a mother of a country, asked everyone to stand up, and then walked into the back house under the guidance of the "bone shadow".
In the backyard, Ouyang Miaoling had been waiting for a long time. She led the other female relatives to pay their respects quickly. The queen smiled and nodded, then walked into the banquet hall surrounded by everyone.
The banquet hall had already been decorated magnificently. The queen sat in the main seat and accepted the greetings of the ladies.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the Queen ordered the gifts she had brought to be presented, which included precious jewellery and rare medicinal herbs.
Ouyang Miaoling accepted the Queen's reward on behalf of the Regent Princess, and then bowed to express her gratitude.
The queen stood up, took her hand with a smile, and asked her about Ouyang Li's physical condition.
Ouyang Miaoling's graceful and generous answer satisfied the queen. During the conversation, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, as if the previous grudges had disappeared.
However, only Ouyang Miaoling knew that behind this apparent harmony there might be a greater crisis hidden.
After everyone took their seats, a grand banquet officially began.
At this time, Ouyang Li, as the focus of the banquet, had to abide by the royal etiquette and rules despite his weak body and come to express his gratitude to the queen.
So, with the help of the maidservant beside her, she slowly walked to the Queen, then knelt down respectfully, performed the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows, and chanted: "Thank you, Queen, for your grace!"
However, at this moment, the Queen suddenly acted in a difficult manner, as if she wanted to deliberately embarrass Ouyang Li.
She smiled and asked in a friendly tone, "Li'er, I heard that you have been in poor health. Are you feeling better now?" Ouyang Li's heart tightened, knowing that this was a test from the Queen.
She quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am much better now."
Then, the Queen continued to ask: "How is your diet now? Do you have any special preferences or taboos?" Ouyang Li's forehead was slightly sweaty, and her voice was trembling as she said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any special requirements, I just like lighter food."
The queen smiled slightly, and seemed satisfied with the answer. But then she asked another question: "I know you like quietness, so what do you do for fun on weekdays? Do you need me to arrange for someone to accompany you to relieve your boredom?"
Ouyang Li secretly groaned in her heart. She felt that her physical strength was gradually failing and she was about to collapse.
She raised her head with difficulty and looked at Ouyang Miaoling beside her for help.
Ouyang Miaoling understood what he meant and shook her head gently to signal her to hold on a little longer. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind to find a way to help her daughter end this torturous question and answer session as soon as possible.
