Chapter 372: Attending the Queen Mother’s Birthday Banquet
Chapter 372: Attending the Queen Mother’s Birthday Banquet
The brother and sister lived in the space. Shen Nanzhi gradually unlocked part of the command power of the space and handed it over to Awen to take care of some things. She no longer needed to come in and do everything herself every day.
Now Awen is even more certain that this is a fairy cave. He stubbornly thinks that they are the gatekeepers chosen by the fairies and will never leave. Who would be willing to go out and suffer when they can live in a fairy cave?
Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was really good at using his imagination.
However, Shen Nanzhi found that this person was very smart and could see many problems from a few small details. After being asked several times, Shen Nanzhi could no longer hide his secrets.
In order to divert his mind and let him learn to read and learn to read, there are many books in the space, both modern and ancient, and he can't finish reading them in his lifetime.
Awen spends half of his time reading and the other half taking care of the 'cave'. He likes his life more and more.
Ah Yu runs around the mountain every day, following Xiaohu to harm the small animals on the mountain. She also likes to cook delicious food. She has never had a full meal since she was a child, and now that she has the chance to eat, she eats like crazy out of revenge.
Shen Nanzhi hadn't come in for a few days. When I saw her again, she had become rounder and her cheeks were plump.
It's good to eat, delicious food can satisfy people spiritually, but it should be eaten in moderation. "Ayu, you should take care of your health. Overeating is not good for your stomach."
"No, I don't feel full. Just take a walk and I'll be fine in a while."
Shen Nanzhi was speechless. This was the space repairing her body. This child was like a mouse falling into a rice jar. It could eat whatever it wanted.
"It's up to you. When you have time, learn from your brother and read and write. What's the point of playing all the time?"
"It's interesting. I haven't finished my tour here yet. There are so many interesting places I haven't visited. Sister, can I not play?"
"No, just play, otherwise you can't do anything."
This girl seems to have grown up, but her mental state is actually that of a seven or eight year old child. It is really a playful age for her, and it can be considered as making up for the happiness of her childhood.
Except for Shen Nanzhi's residence, they can move freely in this space. They think some modern machinery, farm tools, medicinal materials and so on are the work of gods and are not very surprised.
After settling them, Shen Nanzhi had to deal with the Empress Dowager. Imperial decrees were sent from the palace several times, and some eunuchs even broke in directly, insisting on seeing the people, but were stopped by An Xin and An Ning.
This was the Queen Mother's test of her. If she couldn't resist it once, she would take the person away directly next time. Anyway, she had her reasons to worry about the Regent's marriage, and no one could say anything to her. This was her duty as the Queen Mother.
Shen Nanzhi looked at the imperial edict. Tomorrow is the empress dowager's birthday. It is her 40th birthday, so the celebration is very grand. If Shen Nanzhi does not go, the empress dowager will probably want to come in person and must meet her.
"Let's go meet our Queen Mother tomorrow."
An Xin asked, "What clothes are you going to wear?"
"If you want to look chic in mourning, go for moon-white. As for jewelry, choose jade. It's simple and elegant, and goes well with the clothes."
"Ah, in mourning, it's the Queen Mother's birthday, isn't this inappropriate?"
"It's not that I had to go to celebrate the birthday, it was she who forced me to go. How could I make her happy if she came to make things difficult for me?
As long as she is unhappy, I am not the late emperor and I am not responsible for coaxing people. She can't beat me up, right?"
In short, if you are unhappy, just bear with it. What else can you do?
Shen Nanzhi wanted to create the image of a favored concubine who was arrogant because of her favor, a chaste woman, simple and brainless, making people feel that she was easy to bully, weak and unable to take care of herself, yet ignorant and could only depend on the regent to live.
This is completely different from her original personality. They are two completely different people. The more this is the case, the more fun and challenging it is.
In her previous life, she had always been a strong woman. She was used to being strong and independent. After seeing too many white lotus, she sometimes thought that other people's lives were so easy. She just cried and acted like a spoiled child, and there were lots of men coaxing and pampering her. It was infuriating but helpless. Such women sometimes live a good life.
"I will go and prepare it now. It will definitely open everyone's eyes."
"That's right. I satisfied their curiosity."
Shen Nanzhi's eyes were filled with mischievous light. If you want to play, just have fun.
When Qi Yunxu learned that she was going to enter the palace, he couldn't help but worry, and he sent two female officials to follow her and teach her some etiquette.
As for protecting her from being bullied, that is not necessary. It is good enough that she does not bully others.
When Qi Yunxu saw her in a moon-white dress, long flowing hair, and a full set of white magnolia jade mask, she looked even more elegant and noble. He was stunned for a moment.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Regent."
"Nan, Nan Zhi, you..."
Shen Nanzhi chuckled: "How about it? Do you want to hide your forbidden delicacy, the kind that people can't bear to part with after just one look?"
"It looks so similar that I can't recognize it."
"You have to get used to it. Don't all men want women to be submissive, to worship them, and to rely on their chauvinism?
I will satisfy you. With a regent like me, I guarantee that you will have freshness and excitement every day."
Qi Yunxu covered his chest and said, "Thank you, Princess. I am already very excited now."
"Would you like to try something more exciting?"
Qi Yunxu's eyes were deep, and her playful look was full of purity. When he saw it, he felt like crushing her, destroying her purity, and falling into the abyss together.
"What are you thinking about? You go to the palace first. As the protagonist, I will naturally be the last to appear. Have someone prepare the imperial physician so that the empress dowager can be treated in time if she faints from anger."
"It's okay. The Queen Mother is in good health and won't faint easily."
"That's good."
……
Inside the palace, the birthday banquet was held in the main hall of Shoukang Palace. Court officials and ladies all arrived early and chatted animatedly with their familiar friends.
"I heard that the Regent woman will come. Is it true?"
"Really? The Queen Mother has issued several imperial decrees. If she is still not well, the Queen Mother will go and arrest her personally. Do you dare not come?"
"I wonder what it looks like? I'm so curious."
"She must be a vixen. Otherwise, how could the regent, who is so averse to women, favor her so much? He has contradicted the queen mother several times for her."
"That's right. I think she must be a fox spirit with thousands of years of cultivation."
The biggest topic of this birthday party is Shen Nanzhi. Everyone is looking forward to the party starting so that they can meet this vixen.
Princess Anguo brought Shen Kening into the hall. Everyone gradually stopped talking and focused their attention on their family.
Miss Shen actually has the nerve to come and celebrate your birthday?
