When it was time to light the lamp, Shangguan Yue came back from outside. He seemed to be in a good mood, so he specially asked Mrs. Shangguan, Aunt Zhao, and his two daughters to have dinner at the same table.
During the dinner, Shangguan Yue mentioned that the Queen Mother had issued an edict to hold a celebration banquet for Xiao Yujue at the Prince's Mansion the day after tomorrow, and allowed officials from the imperial court to bring their families to celebrate.
"When the time comes, Madam, you and Ning'er can go with me."
"Yes, sir."
From the corner of Shangguan Wanning's eyes, she saw a cold and resentful light flashing in Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Back in the room, Shangguan Wan Ning called Lu Tong and Aling to choose the clothes to wear to the Prince's Mansion the day after tomorrow.
"Miss, please wear this bright yellow. Not only will it bring out your fair skin, but also..." Lutong smiled slightly and mysteriously took out a rouge box from the dressing mirror, "Instruct your slave to let the people outside
The fragrant powder carefully developed by the master has also been delivered."
Lu Tong opened the box, and the fragrance filled her nostrils and instantly filled the whole room.
Aling couldn't help but inhale a few more times, feeling relaxed and happy.
"Ah Ling, when you pack things for the eldest lady in the future, you must be extra careful about this box of fragrant powder." Lutong warned, "This box of fragrant powder is worth a hundred gold. Apply this fragrant powder and walk to the garden.
Attracts butterflies to surround it.”
"Our eldest lady is born to be the most beautiful girl in the world. If a butterfly is attracted to her, the scene will definitely be like a fairy descending to earth. She will definitely be able to compare with everyone."
Seeing Lu Tong's proud look, Aling also flattered him a few words.
Tonight, Aling is on duty.
Late at night, Shangguan Wan Ning saw a delicate figure taking something from her dressing box through the gauze curtain.
Afterwards, everything was calm.
On the day of going to the Prince's Mansion, Shangguan Yue ordered the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, but he saw Shangguan's wife coming out alone.
"Madam, where is Ning'er?"
"Sir, Ning'er said she suddenly felt unwell and couldn't go." Mrs. Shangguan didn't care. There was nothing important in such an occasion. It was just a bunch of people getting together to praise and compare with each other.
"However, Ning'er said that she was afraid that I would be lonely, so she asked Xiaoxiao to go with her. This child is becoming more and more considerate."
Mrs. Shangguan's words also touched Shangguan Yue's heart.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao once framed Shangguan Wanning, but she didn't take it to heart, and she always thought about this sister, which was really rare.
Not long after, Shangguan Xiaoxiao walked out dressed up, surrounded by maids and nannies.
Shangguan Yue looked it over and saw that there was nothing rude about it. He nodded with satisfaction and warned: "I will follow your aunt when we arrive at the Prince's Mansion in a while. Don't make mistakes and make people laugh, you know?"
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter knows." Shangguan Xiaoxiao was very proud and was about to follow Mrs. Shangguan into the carriage when she heard a strange sound.
Everyone looked back and saw a large swarm of bees flying over.
The guards and servants hurried forward, and Shangguan Yue also protected Shangguan's wife behind him.
Everyone was busy swatting the bees, but found that all the bees were just chasing Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
No matter how Shangguan Xiaoxiao dodges, she can't escape the siege of bees. In just a short moment, her face has been stung by more than a dozen.
The guards and servants would accidentally hit her while trying to help her swat the bees.
She cried loudly in pain.
"What happened?" Shangguan Wan Ning also walked out accompanied by the maid, "Quick, light the torch and come over, bees are afraid of smoke."
The housekeeper hurriedly lit the torch, but when the bees were dispersed, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's face was swollen beyond recognition, her hair was scattered, her clothes were messy, and she was in a miserable state.
She was so frightened and frightened that she didn't even have the strength to cry.
"Xiaoxiao, how are you?" Shangguan Wanning stepped forward to help Shangguan Xiaoxiao up, with a meaningful smile on her face, "You look like this, it seems that you can't go to the Prince's Mansion. I think it's still...
Let dad summon the imperial doctor to take a look at you, and you can recover from your injuries at home."
"You..." Shangguan Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Wanning's unharmed face and was stunned in surprise.
"Do you think it's weird?" Shangguan Wan Ning leaned close to Shangguan Xiaoxiao's ear and lowered her voice and said, "Do you think you can deal with me twice by arranging a little girl by my side?"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao understood instantly.
I am being plotted by Shangguan Wan Ning.
"If it weren't for the fact that you also took the surname Shangguan, and I didn't want to be embarrassed outside, you wouldn't have made a fool of yourself here today." Shangguan Wan Ning snorted coldly, with condescending arrogance in her eyes, "I have paid off your debt.
, I will settle the matter with you slowly when I come back."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao suddenly felt cold from head to toe.
"Mom, it seems that Xiaoxiao can't accompany you, so let my daughter accompany you." Shangguan Wanning returned to her previous gentleness and stepped forward to hold her mother's arm.
"Aren't you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing serious. How can I let you go socializing alone? Don't worry, I'm fine."
Shangguan Wan Ning said as she helped her mother walk towards the carriage.
Shangguan Yue asked the housekeeper to find a doctor for Shangguan Xiaoxiao, and then left with his wife and daughter.
Aunt Zhao rushed over after hearing the news. When she saw her daughter's disheveled clothes and scars all over her body, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao clenched her fists, and her hatred for Shangguan Wanning increased.
She secretly vowed that one day Shangguan Wan Ning would kneel at her feet.
But……
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was a little scared.
When Shangguan Wan Ning comes back, will he really want to settle a score with her?
"Mom, don't cry." Shangguan Xiaoxiao pulled Aunt Zhao back to the room and said anxiously, "Have someone send Aling away immediately. No matter what, don't let her appear again in the future."
Aunt Zhao was stunned. She realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately stopped crying and went to find Aling.
However, she searched the entire Prime Minister's Mansion and could not find Aling.
Shangguan Wan Ning followed her parents to the Prince's Mansion, and saw the eldest princess's carriage at the door. She was secretly happy, and after saying a few words to her mother, she went to see the eldest princess.
"Lu Tong, help me send a message to my uncle." Shangguan Wan Ning whispered a few words in Lu Tong's ear.
Lutong took the order and left.
The eldest princess was very happy to see Shangguan Wan Ning and took her to sit down and talk for a while.
"Princess, when I came in just now, I saw some pots of rare flowers in the garden. Let's go and take a look. I want to take a closer look."
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't wait for the eldest princess to agree, and pulled her towards the garden.
Not long after the two arrived, they saw Zheng Binghong hurried over under the guidance of Lu Tong.
"Why did this girl get into trouble again..." Zheng Binghong heard that Shangguan Wan Ning had offended the princess and was about to be punished. He was so anxious that when he arrived at the garden, he didn't care about anything else. He cupped his hands and begged, "Princess, Ning'er is young and ignorant. If you do anything inappropriate,
