Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down

In the backyard, there was no one around the pavilion.

Nan Chuzheng revealed half of her shoulder blade, which was as white as mutton-fat jade.

Her face flushed and her heart beat fast.

In particular, she had taken off some of her underwear, which was now loose and seemed to be neither covering her body nor not covering her body.

A field of indigo stars covered half of her shoulder blade.

There were tiny starlights falling on her heart.

The scenery below was covered by the undergarment, and the complete tattoo was not visible.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Nan Chenrao's eyes.

He ignored Nan Chuzheng's blushing face, raised his slender fingers, and gently stroked the indigo stars.

Nan Chenrao stretched out his arms and hugged Nan Chuzheng's waist.

Outside the gate, the servant sent by Zhaoyong Marquis Mansion slapped his hands until they were broken.

He didn't even wait for anyone from the South House to come out and open the door for him.

He went back in disappointment and found A Sui to report.

Ah Sui frowned, feeling extremely resentful towards Nan Chuzheng.

"No one is in the South Residence? Miss Chu Zheng clearly knew that today was the prince's birthday, so why did she go out?"

"Hurry up and send someone to find her. Be sure to tell her that she must come back today to give the prince a gift."

A Sui just wanted to make Chu Shiqing happy.

If the prince is happy, those who serve him will be more valued by him.

As for whether Nan Chuzheng is willing or not, that is none of A Sui’s business.

Besides, why wouldn't she be unwilling?

In the past, Ah Sui often went to see Nan Chuzheng about Chu Shiqing's affairs.

There was nothing Nan Chuzheng refused to do.

But this time, Ah Sui sent many servants from Zhaoyong Hou's Mansion to look for Nan Chuzheng.

At first they thought Nan Chuzheng was just strolling around the Nan residence.

As a result, they searched everywhere around Nan's house, but couldn't find Nan Chuzheng.

As the sky grew darker, the guests had already arrived.

Lord Chu had a stern face and forced a smile.

He hurriedly prepared the birthday party, but there were still many things that were not taken care of. Moreover, as a grown man, he didn't know how to organize a banquet.

The whole banquet was just passable, with nothing outstanding.

Many guests attended the birthday banquet of the prince of Zhaoyong Marquis’s mansion two years ago and last year.

Everyone was whispering that the birthday banquet for the prince of Zhaoyong's mansion was much worse than last year's.

Some noble ladies even had eyes full of anger, but they just sat in the backyard of Marquis Zhaoyong's mansion for a while before leaving hand in hand.

"After all, we are the legitimate wives of our husband's family. Finding a concubine to entertain us? Is this how the Zhaoyong Marquis's Mansion treats guests?"

"The Zhaoyong Marquis's Mansion is getting quite arrogant these days. Everyone knows that their Chu Jingyue is favored by the Crown Prince. You'd better be careful with your words."

"Yes, you may be unhappy in your heart, but don't say it out loud and offend the prince."

The ladies spoke in low voices, and few of them were willing to stay in Marquis Zhaoyong's mansion for dinner.

Lord Chu was still unaware of this.

It was already a stretch for him, a grown man, to organize this birthday party.

But it was impossible for her to receive the noble ladies who came to celebrate from the imperial capital on behalf of Zhou.

So he asked his most beloved concubine to take Zhou's place in dealing with people.

His concubine was very excited and was ready to give it her all.

However, after being a concubine in the backyard for too long, it is easy for her to lose her own status and identity.

He thought he could be on par with those wives who were married in a formal ceremony.

But the wives of the first wives looked down on her status.

The appearance of concubines is an insult to those who are the daughters of the principal wife.

Lord Chu hurried from the front yard to the back yard.

Looking at the empty backyard and the several tables set up, there was no one there.

He frowned and asked the innocent concubine in a bad tone,

"How could it be like this?"

"Didn't I tell you to treat them well?"

The concubine immediately used the tricks she usually used to deal with Lord Chu, and shed two pitiful tears.

"My Lord, I have always followed your instructions and entertained the ladies well."

"But they look down on me because of my lowly status and look down on me... wuwuwuwu."

She cried and sobbed, and it turned out that this method was the best way to win the favor of Lord Chu.

But Lord Chu has a lot of things to do today, all kinds of troubles, and he still has no clue how to deal with them.

Where does he have the time to coax his favorite concubine?

"Okay, stop crying!"

"I told you to just learn how Zhou does it on a daily basis."

"It's really unattractive."

What Lord Chu didn't say was that it now seemed that compared to Zhou, this concubine whom he had doted on for more than ten years was even more unworthy of being reused.

Lord Chu turned away.

The backyard was already like this, so he had to entertain the male guests in the front yard.

Fortunately, Chu Shiqing was there to help in the front yard.

He is the protagonist of this birthday party today. With him around, the guests in the front yard are having a great time chatting and chatting.

But Chu Shiqing became more and more absent-minded.

He frequently looked towards the gate of Zhaoyong Marquis's Mansion, and the expectation in his heart gradually turned into anger.

In the end, this anger turned into deep disappointment.

Until the moon rose to the middle of the sky and the guests in the front yard dispersed, Chu Shiqing still hadn't waited for the person he was waiting for.

After returning to his room, Chu Shiqing raised his hand and swept all the birthday gifts on the table to the ground.

"What does Nan Chuzheng mean by this? Do you really have to go against me?"

"Isn't it just that I gave her a bunch of fruits? Isn't it just that I didn't coax her like I did Jingyue?"

"She wasn't such a vindictive person before."

"Today is a big deal for me. Does she still have me, her big brother, in her heart, and does she still have our Chu family in her heart?"

Ah Sui lowered his hands and head and dared not speak.

He sent many people today to search for Nan Chuzheng all over the imperial capital, but they couldn't find her.

Later, a servant told him that he saw servants from the south house open the door and come out to buy things.

In fact, there was always someone in the South House, but when people from the Zhaoyong Marquis Mansion went to knock on the door, the people from the South House did not answer.

A Sui didn't dare to tell the prince such words, for fear that he would get angry and implicate the servants.

Chu Shiqing was angry for a while in the room, and said in a cold tone,

"We can't let Nan Chuzheng continue like this. She'll only become more and more feral."

"Since my mother can't control her, she can only resort to some tough measures."

For some reason, Ah Sui's eyelids twitched when he heard Chu Shiqing say this.

He couldn't help but remind Chu Shiqing,

"Miss Chu Zheng is being protected by the military."

Chu Shiqing didn't say anything, it was obvious that he already had his own ideas in mind.
