The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Your Majesty has really made a big plan.

What is even more frightening is when did His Majesty start to be wary of them?

One emperor and one courtier.

Your Majesty has recalled the trusted aides you previously dispatched to various locations, and has ordered them to prioritize the young grandson. When the young grandson grows up and ascends the throne, these people will be like withered flowers, sunken boats, and withered trees.

"She is a blessed girl. No wonder you and the old Marquis love her so much."

The speaker was the wife of the Minister of Justice, Bai, who was also Ding Meishu's mother.

She smiled and tried to smooth things over, and just at this moment the maid who was delivering the message lifted the curtain and came in.

"The old lady heard that there were ladies coming to the garden to play today, so she wanted to come with the young mistress to join in the fun. The old lady said that she is slow on foot, so she has set up a small banquet at Liubi Tianyun. Please ask the ladies to move on."

"That's great! I was just thinking about taking a walk when the old lady came to invite us. Then let's go and pay our respects to the old Marquis. I just returned to the capital and haven't seen her for many years."

The person speaking at this moment was Madam Chao Lushuang, the newly appointed Grand Tutor who had just returned to the capital. Her husband was also the newly appointed Grand Tutor, whose surname was Cheng Xi.

In the past, the position of Grand Tutor had always been held concurrently by an elderly man. Now that the old man had retired and returned home, the Emperor of Chu appointed Cheng Xi, who had just returned to the capital to report on his work, to take over.

The people below knew very well what the King of Chu was thinking.

The other ladies present looked at Chao Lu Shuang. Although she had just integrated into the capital, no one dared to offend her.

Just wait for the Crown Prince's imperial edict to be issued, and she will be the Crown Prince's legitimate wife.

Chao Lu Shuang once accompanied her husband to visit the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, she had only been married to the Cheng family for two years.

At that time, her husband was handling a case and was summoned back to the capital by His Majesty. It was also during that time that she had the opportunity to follow her husband to the Marquis' Mansion.

When I met Mr. Hou, he was more amiable and humorous than I had imagined.

Now that we meet again, my husband has become the Grand Tutor, and his connection with the Marquis' Mansion has become even closer.

"That's right. Let's go. Don't keep the old lady waiting for too long."

Song Shengfu sat in the pavilion, watching the trainer playing the flute with focused eyes. Not far away, two cranes were dancing to the sound of the flute.

The two cranes swayed their bodies from time to time, and their high and slender necks formed a graceful arc.

The food the ancients ate was still better.

elegant!

It is truly an elegant residence, worthy of its name.

Song Shengfu sipped the unique tea here, thinking that this house alone was a priceless treasure.

She was still brooding over how the Duan Marquis's family ended up going bankrupt.

But then I thought, this house was a reward from Emperor Yuanshi, so it certainly cannot be bought or sold at will.

Just as she was thinking deeply, she could faintly hear the laughter of women not far away.

The granddaughter-in-law Youlang had already gone to greet them. When she came to her senses, she started asking if the snacks were ready.

"Madam, everything is ready. The young lady just checked it one by one, and she is sure there will be no mistakes."

"That's good. The mansion hasn't received female relatives for a long time. I feel it's very lively to hear their voices today."

When you get older, sometimes it’s hard not to feel lonely when you’re alone.

Fortunately, her granddaughter-in-law married into the family and often came to play with her.

Otherwise, time always feels so long when I'm alone.

When those people came closer, Song Shengfu looked at the faces that were some familiar and some unfamiliar, and chatted with them for a long time with great interest.

The old lord in front of you is two years older than Your Majesty and is a long-lived man in the capital.

No matter what everyone thought about Marquis Duan's Mansion, they did not dare to act like a demon in front of this feudal lord.

If you anger this person, you will suffer misfortune.

Song Shengfu didn't have as many thoughts as they did. She was already at this age and didn't care about anything in particular.

To put it bluntly, it's really just waiting to die.

Those who are not even accepted by the God of Hell can only live their lives in a muddled way.

But living longer is not necessarily better. She felt her teeth falling out, her hair gradually turning gray and becoming thinner, and her steps becoming increasingly heavy, all of which told her that her body was aging.

No wonder so many people are pursuing immortality.

Tired of talking, she was about to leave.

He left the younger generation in his family to accompany these distinguished guests, and he himself walked slowly back to his own yard, leaning on his crutches.

When the female relatives saw this, they all praised her for being so healthy at her age. Some even said that they would bring their children to share in Shoujun's blessings next time.

Fang Youlang followed his mother-in-law and listened to the ladies complimenting his grandmother one after another.

She knew in her heart how much these people looked down on her.

Her background was not worth mentioning in front of these noble ladies in the capital, but she didn't think it was anything that outsiders could say.

It’s okay to be looked down upon. People can’t live only in the eyes of others.

But my mother-in-law is kind and I have a caring grandmother, and they both support me behind the scenes.

When his grandmother took his hand and told everyone that she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, Fang Youlang felt a pang of excitement in his heart, overflowing with happiness.

The feeling of being recognized and affirmed, she thought she would never forget this moment, when a pair of old hands were holding her up.

After a busy day, Fang Youlang returned to the house. Just as he was about to take a rest by combing his hair, Duan Chengkang, who had not been seen for many days, came back.

I saw him sitting at the table with a tired look on his face. He drank a pot of cold tea before he could catch his breath.

"Look at you, you're still like a child, your clothes on your chest are all wet."

Fang Youlang walked over slowly in Yueying Nanzhi's pajamas. Seeing him drinking like a cow, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh secretly.

"Why, does the young general in front of the emperor still need this cold tea?"

Duan Chengkang saw his wife smiling, so he smiled too and stretched out his hand to pull her over.

Fang Youlang sat in his arms, holding the handkerchief to prevent him from getting close to her.

"I just changed into my pajamas, please don't dirty them."

After seeing the man's aggrieved expression, Fang Youlang finally compromised.

"Okay, just hold me for a while."

Only then did Duan Chengkang contentedly embrace his wife in his arms.

Knowing that he was under a lot of pressure, Fang Youlang patted his back gently.

"Why are you coaxing me like a child?"

Duan Chengkang made a muffled sound, and it was obvious that he was extremely tired.

"Grandma always says you are a child who never grows up."

Hearing the name of his most beloved grandmother, Duan Chengkang's voice became more cheerful.

"That's right. In my grandmother's eyes, I have always been a child."

"I told you you're fat, and you're still panting. Go clean up quickly and get some sleep. You'll be very busy tomorrow."

Duan Chengkang nodded, kissed his wife's forehead, and carried her to the bed.

"wait for me."

After saying that, he went to the small side room.

The next day, before dawn, he got up quietly without disturbing the person next to him.

I heard that the Queen's health has been improving in the past few days, which should be a happy event, but everyone understands that this is probably a last gasp of vitality.

When Queen Zhu was able to get up, she wanted to go around the palace, but she came back after a while.

I originally felt it was a bit deserted.

After hearing this, the Emperor of Chu asked Concubine Ning to prepare a flower-viewing banquet as the flowers were in full bloom these days.

The lively atmosphere makes the queen happy.
