Quick Wear: The Scheming Female Supporting Role is Beautiful and Seductive

Chapter 402 White Lotus Female Supporting Character VS Foolish Prince (16)

Longevity Festival.

The lights were just coming on, the palace walls were solemn, and rows of palace maids were walking along the walls holding things in their hands.

Even before the banquet started, one could already get a glimpse of its grandeur.

Shen Zhaowan and Jiang Chengxuan were following a nanny to the Queen's Kunning Palace.

The Queen wanted to meet him before the banquet started.

Before leaving the house, Shen Zhaowan gave him many instructions. Although he was still stupid, he was able to listen to her.

The clothes they both wore today were extravagant and the colors matched each other perfectly.

Shen Zhaowan wore a light blue brocade outer skirt with a wide hem that contrasted beautifully with her red silk lining. It was embroidered with gold thread with patterns of butterflies fluttering around jasmine flowers, which made her fair skin and beautiful face look even more charming.

She had a shawl draped over her arm, her hair was adorned with gold and pearl ornaments, and her forehead was dotted with flowers. She was radiant and had a beautiful appearance.

Jiang Chengxuan, who was standing aside, wore a round-necked robe of the same color that he had chosen, a gold-inlaid jade crown on his head, a white jade hanging from his waist, a long red belt, and a small red purse. They walked side by side, looking a perfect match.

He chose his own outfit and gradually learned how to dress himself.

Soon, we arrived at Kunning Palace.

It was majestic and exquisite. Shen Zhaowan felt a little nervous and secretly glanced at Jiang Chengxuan beside her.

It seems that he hasn't seen his mother for a long time.

Nanny: "Prince, Princess, please!"

Shen Zhaowan and Jiang Chengxuan both walked in at the same time.

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

The two said in unison.

"Get up, quickly." The queen's voice rang out, and the nanny beside her immediately took action and helped the person up.

It was also at this time that Shen Zhaowan saw clearly the Queen who had ascended to the throne.

She was wearing a red and gold palace dress, and her posture was elegant and generous, and her expression was dignified and noble.

Shen Zhaowan and Jiang Chengxuan sat down. The Queen's eyes were always on them, with tears flashing in her eyes.

"I summoned you today because I was thinking too much."

She looked at Jiang Chengxuan who was sitting upright, as if she saw the him who was not stupid before.

"Xuan'er?"

"Mother."

The Queen smiled, and then turned to Shen Zhaowan and said, "I like you when I see you. How about calling you Wanwan?"

"Mother, you call me this, I am very happy."

“Wanwan, this is the first time we’ve met since you married Xuan’er. Xuan’er seems to be well taken care of. Thank you.”

"Mother, I dare not do this. This is what I should do."

The queen summoned Shen Zhaowan to her side and put a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists.

"This is something I prepared a long time ago, but it's been a while since I last saw it."

"Thank you, mother. I like it very much."

Jade bracelets are warm and cool, have good appearance, and are rare and precious items.

Shen Zhaowan could also see that even though she had taken good care of herself and covered her face, her sickly appearance was still visible.

I guess the matter of the crown prince made the queen very anxious and worried.

The queen talked to the two of them for a long time before Shen Zhaowan and the other two took their leave.

Jiang Chengxuan bowed obediently: "Mother, I will go over first."

Shen Zhaowan: "Mother, take care of yourself."

"Okay, you two pay attention."

……

The banquet was held in Wanchen Hall, and Shen Zhaowan led Jiang Chengxuan in at the right time.

Staring at everyone's gaze, Shen Zhaowan smiled and looked for her seat without a trace of timidity.

The prince's seat is at the front.

Shen Zhaowan observed for a while and found that there seemed to be no seat for the deposed prince. It seemed that the emperor really didn't want to see him even on his birthday.

After sitting down, Shen Zhaowan just pulled Jiang Chengxuan to eat the fruit in front of her while facing the gazes from all directions.

"Don't be afraid, my lord. I'm here and I won't let you be bullied."

Shen Zhaowan also looked at her father from a distance.

After a while, the imperial concubine came. She was well maintained and radiant, looking only about thirty years old. She had an aggressive beauty and sat down gracefully in a red palace dress.

After a while, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen came over together.

Everyone bowed miserably, and Shen Zhaowan also knelt down.

"My dear ministers, please stand up!"

The majestic voice resounded throughout the palace.

The emperor is over forty years old, his expression is solemn and dignified, and his brows still vaguely show the features of his youth.

He didn't interact much with the Queen while sitting together, and his eyes mostly lingered on the Imperial Concubine.

Shen Zhaowan looked at him for a few seconds and then lowered her eyes.

The palace has reached the gift-giving stage, and the eldest prince is the first to appear. At this time, Shen Zhaowan has already felt Jiang Chengxuan's nervousness.

She whispered, "Don't be afraid, my lord. I believe you can do it."

Soon, it was Jiang Chengxuan's turn. At this time, the emperor's eyes fell on him with coldness and displeasure. Even she could see it, and others could naturally notice it as well. No wonder Jiang Chengxuan was reluctant to enter the palace. According to the emperor's attitude, he would naturally be bullied. Overtly or covertly, if the queen paid less attention to him, who knew what would happen to him.

Jiang Chengxuan stumbled: "I, your son, respectfully wish your father... eternal health and blessings for generations to come."

The gifts presented were in proper order. The jade carvings of immortals wishing a happy birthday actually stood out if one looked closely. However, there was no expression of joy on the emperor's face. He simply waved his hand and asked Jiang Chengxuan to leave.

Shen Zhaowan even felt that if this was an ordinary banquet, the emperor might directly interrupt Jiang Chengxuan's congratulations.

Facing Jiang Chengxuan's pitiful eyes, Shen Zhaowan also felt another gaze coming from a slightly higher direction, it was the imperial concubine.

I don't know what she wants to do.

"My Lord, don't cry. You did a great job. In my heart, you are very impressive, you know that."

Shen Zhaowan pulled Jiang Chengxuan's hand and placed it in her own palm. Even though she couldn't hold it, she still comforted it gently.

In fact, Jiang Chengxuan had already realized the emperor's favoritism in his heart a long time ago, so he was not at all disturbed by it now. Feeling Shen Zhaowan's comfort, he actually had an additional feeling in his heart.

Next, the emperor praised the congratulations of other princes, especially the fifth prince, who was praised without reservation and emphasized his experience of going to control the drought.

Shen Zhaowan didn't know that the emperor could be so partial. Prince Guang went there to control the drought, but he didn't think about why he went there. He didn't hear of any other rewards in the court, but now he is using this as an excuse to brag about it.

Shen Zhaowan looked away, not knowing what the emperor was thinking.

The dishes for the Wanshou Festival were rich and varied, many of which Shen Zhaowan had never seen before. She and Jiang Chengxuan turned a deaf ear to the outside world and concentrated on eating their meals, occasionally watching the dances and the treasures presented to broaden their eyes.

Due to the attitude of the superiors, not many people came forward to disturb the party while they were toasting each other. After all, the Queen was still there.

During this time, only King Xian toasted Jiang Chengxuan.

Shen Zhaowan wanted to change the wine in the glass but found that Jiang Chengxuan was faster and had already drunk it.

Shen Zhaowan also saw Mu Yuanshan at the banquet. Before she could take a closer look, Jiang Chengxuan pulled her and asked her to hold his hand. Later, she heard a minister mention Mu Yuanshan's marriage.

A general who has made great contributions is naturally the object of everyone's praise, so it is no wonder that some people talk about such things.

There was a small banquet after the banquet, and the Queen sent someone to tell them that if they were not feeling well, they could go back first.

Shen Zhaowan had exactly this idea, so she agreed.

The small banquet was just prepared by the concubines in the harem for the emperor, more to show off themselves.

"My Lord, are you okay?"

No one noticed at the time, but after drinking a few more glasses, Jiang Chengxuan's face turned pink, and it was obvious that he was drunk.

She led the quiet and obedient Jiang Chengxuan towards the palace gate, but was caught up by a palace servant.

"Third Prince, Third Princess, please stay."

Shen Zhaowan led Jiang Chengxuan and their pace became faster and faster, and the people behind them did not give up.

After shouting a few more times, Shen Zhaowan pretended to hear and stopped.

At this moment, the palace servant was so tired that his face was flushed and he was panting, but Shen Zhaowan recognized at a glance that he was the palace servant who served the imperial concubine.

"you are?"

"I am Yin'er, a maid in Xiangzhi Palace, serving the Imperial Concubine."

Shen Zhaowan was confused: "I don't know what it is?"

Yin'er was respectful, but the arrogance in her eyes could not be hidden. "The Imperial Concubine said that considering the Third Prince and the Third Princess have only been married for less than three months, she wanted to invite you two to come over for another reunion. The Emperor will also come."

Do you feel pity for Jiang Chengxuan?

But the emperor clearly disliked him, so why did he invite him to a small banquet?

Shen Zhaowan had a faint smile on her face. "What a coincidence! Just now, my mother felt sorry for my husband and me and allowed us to go back. I don't know who I should listen to between the Queen and the Imperial Concubine. Hmm?"

The maid instinctively wanted to blurt it out, but then she seemed to realize that the occasion was not right and she was concerned about the people around her.

"The Queen is worried about the Prince and Princess. Please follow me and the Royal Concubine will help you explain."

The Imperial Concubine asked her to take care of this matter, so naturally she said too much and became a little anxious.

Shen Zhaowan put away her smile, her eyes stern, "Since you know that the Queen has spoken and feels sorry for the two of us, why are you still pestering me? Are you dissatisfied with the Queen's decision?"

"Third Princess, your words are too serious. That's not what I meant."

"I will tell the Queen Mother the truth about this matter. Please let her make the decision for us."

Shen Zhaowan took Jiang Chengxuan away without looking back.

The maid's face turned pale and black. If she didn't handle this matter well, she would be beaten by the imperial concubine. Now...

He wanted to chase after her and kneel down to threaten her, but before he got close, he was picked up by Shen Zhaowan's maid.

"Don't be so shameless as to disturb the prince and princess."

In front of the palace gate, they happened to meet the virtuous king again. He was standing next to the carriage. He turned around and saw Jiang Chengxuan and the other man, and walked towards them again.

"Big brother!"

Shen Zhaowan also called out "Big Brother Emperor". Seeing that the two seemed to want to exchange pleasantries, Shen Zhaowan got on the carriage first.

The virtuous king patted Jiang Chengxuan on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, you seem to have grown stronger recently. I feel relieved to see that you seem to be living a better life after getting married."

"Thank you for the compliment, brother."

"Okay, seeing that you are okay and it's getting dark, let's go back home first."

He was also worried that this would be the first time they went to the palace together to attend a banquet after their marriage, and he was worried that something might happen, so he waited here for a while.

At this time, Prince An also came over, his steps were unsteady, and it seemed that he had drunk too much. He wanted to reach out to pull Jiang Chengxuan, and he was mumbling something in his mouth.

He was pulled over by King Xian and thrown into King An's own carriage.

Jiang Chengxuan narrowed his eyes, then turned around and climbed into the carriage.

There is one thing that is true: life seems to be really different after getting married.
