Chapter 111 The Sheng Family
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to our home as a guest?" Mrs. Sheng was startled when she heard this and looked at Aunt Kong.
Mother Kong was also surprised when she heard this.
"Yes." Sheng Changbai nodded and said, "His Royal Highness said that he wanted to come and see Aunt Kong."
Old Mrs. Sheng didn't believe it when she heard this. Sheng Changbai could imagine that she Naturally, I can think of it.
His Highness the Crown Prince's visit to the Sheng family will definitely not be because of Aunt Kong. This is just an excuse.
Although I know it, I can't explain this kind of thing.
"I understand, go and notify the eldest lady and ask her to get ready quickly." Old Mrs. Sheng said.
"Yes, grandson, please retire!" Sheng Changbai bowed and retreated.
"What do you think about this matter?" Old Mrs. Sheng looked at Grandma Kong.
Aunt Kong smiled bitterly when she heard this and said: "To be honest, I think I'm pretty good at spotting people. I'm just temporarily blind to your granddaughter. But I really can't see through His Highness. I really can't guess the purpose of Your Highness coming to the Sheng family." "
"Then you can only take one step at a time. You can't guess His Highness's purpose. You know His Highness's preferences, right?" said Mrs. Sheng.
Mother Kong did not hide anything when she heard this. She told Zhao Xing's preferences and warned: "Remember to ask the fifth girl to dress up well. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had done so when he attended the polo club before. I have invited the daughter of the British Duke and the granddaughter of Mr. Yu to come over and talk to me many times. Your Highness is here, and he might want to meet the fifth girl.”
“Yes, I’ll take note of that,” Mrs. Sheng nodded.
She has also heard about this matter, and it seems that Zhao Xing's approach is somewhat inconsistent with etiquette.
Although Zhang Guifen and the eldest daughter of the Yu family had already decided to be the crown prince's concubine, they had not gotten married after all.
But this is not a big deal, we are not alone together, and no one makes a fuss about it.
"As I told you before, tomorrow is an opportunity." Mother Kong said.
"Well, I know it well." Mrs. Sheng said thoughtfully.
……
When Mrs. Wang learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming to her home, she happily ordered people to clean the courtyard and house.
The news quickly spread to Lin Qige, and Lin Xiaoniang quickly called Sheng Changfeng and Mo Lan over.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to our home tomorrow. This is an opportunity. Mo'er will get up early tomorrow morning and come over here to dress you up. If you are lucky enough to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, you must behave well." Lin The little girl warned.
"Mother, how could His Highness accept two concubines from the Sheng family? Besides, how could His Highness meet me? Isn't this a waste of effort?" Mo Lan curled her lips and said.
"What do you know? Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. What if? Do you want to be stepped on by that girl Rulan for the rest of your life?" Lin Xiaoniang shouted.
When Mo Lan heard this, there was a hint of hatred in her eyes. Ever since Ru Lan was designated as the crown prince's concubine, Lin Xiaoniang had been telling her not to fight with Ru Lan.
No way, even Sheng Hong was kind to Ru Lan when she didn't make any big mistakes.
If she gets into a fight with Ru Lan, she will be the one who suffers.
She has been angry with Ru Lan a lot over the years, but she doesn't dare to fight back.
"Mo'er."
Lin Xiaoniang put her arms around Mo Lan's shoulders, helped her sit down on the soft couch, and said, "You are far superior to Ru Lan and Ming Lan in terms of appearance and talent. So if Ru Lan can't be replaced, can't Ming Lan be replaced? As long as you are far better than Ru Lan and Ming Lan in terms of appearance and talent. If His Highness the Crown Prince shows some interest in you, your father will definitely agree to a replacement. As long as you enter the palace, it will not be easy to win His Highness the Crown Prince's favor with your appearance and the methods your mother has taught you over the years. "
"Sister, I think what mother said makes sense. This matter can be fought for," Sheng Changfeng said.
The young masters he usually befriended were polite to him, not because she had an elder brother who was studying with the prince, and a younger sister who was a concubine of the future prince.
However, this brother and sister are not from the same mother, and their relationship is average.
If his biological sister could enter the palace to serve His Highness the Crown Prince, or even become His Highness the Crown Prince's concubine, those people would definitely be more polite to him.
"Don't just talk about your sister. You are a brother. You will definitely stay with your father tomorrow. Remember to behave well. If His Highness the Crown Prince takes notice of you, our mother-in-law will really turn around." Lin Xiaoniang said.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely perform well when the time comes." Sheng Changfeng patted his chest and said. But after Sheng Hong came back and learned the news, he first went to see Mrs. Sheng, and after some discussion, he went to Sheng Wei's house and asked Sheng Wei to come over tomorrow to help entertain His Highness the Crown Prince.
Now Sheng Wei can be regarded as belonging to the prince. With Sheng Wei present, even if it is not a good thing, for Sheng Wei's sake, it will not embarrass the Sheng family too much.
……
The next morning, Cao Qin led a group of imperial guards and servants to the Sheng family first.
After Zhao Xing arrived, the tea he drank and the snacks he used were all supervised from the beginning to the time they were delivered to Zhao Xing.
In a room in Shou'an Hall, Rulan was dressed up and had new clothes, and was talking to Minglan.
When she learned that the guards of the East Palace had already entered and His Highness the Crown Prince would be arriving soon, she said a little nervously: "Sixth Sister, do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will see me?"
"Five Sister, do you want His Highness to see you, or do you not want His Highness to see you?" Minglan said with a smile.
"I don't know either." Ru Lan shook her head in confusion upon hearing this.
She is now thirteen years old. Although she has a carefree temper, she understands some things.
She didn’t know how dangerous the palace was, but she knew a little bit about it.
She is destined to be the woman of His Royal Highness. This status not only brings her dignity, but also brings a lot of pressure to her.
Usually she would go out with Mrs. Wang and get to know some ladies from the noble and noble families.
Because of this status, those with higher family status than the Sheng family were very kind to her.
At first Ru Lan was very proud of this, but one time she overheard those people talking about her behind her back.
With her temperament, she will definitely not be liked by His Highness the Crown Prince when she enters the palace in the future, and the end will be miserable.
It is precisely because of this that Ru Lan is very worried. She is worried that if His Highness the Crown Prince does not like her in the future, it will be like being relegated to the cold palace as those people said.
"Fifth sister, don't worry, His Royal Highness is very kind to others." Minglan comforted.
"How do you know?" Rulan asked doubtfully.
"I heard what Sister Yanran said." Minglan said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Actually, she has met Zhao Xing and even talked to Zhao Xing.
One time at the polo field, when she and Yu Yanran were talking, Zhao Xing came over and said a few words to her.
His Royal Highness gave her the impression that he had no airs about him and was kind to others.
In fact, Minglan was very grateful to Zhao Xing. A few years ago, she accidentally knew that the reason why her father had changed so much in recent years was because he was beaten by the people around the prince.
Sheng Hong's change made her mother and brother's life much easier, and she was naturally grateful.
While the two sisters were talking about Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing came to the Sheng family in a carriage.
At the door of Sheng's house, Mrs. Sheng and Mother Kong are in front, brothers Sheng Hong and Sheng Wei are on both sides, Mrs. Wang is standing next to Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng and Sheng Changwu are standing behind , waiting for Zhao Xing's arrival.
Seeing a group of forbidden troops guarding the carriage approaching, the Sheng family waited for the carriage to stop and stepped forward, bowed and said: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhao Xing leaned out of the carriage and said with a smile: "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhao Xing stepped out of the carriage and looked at Aunt Kong with a smile. He said: "Mammy looks good, so I feel relieved."
