Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

As soon as Lady Anyuan said this, she realized that she had been impulsive. When Zheng Jinfu asked the question at the beginning, she had already intended to admit her mistake.

But it was too late.

Zheng Jinfu shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the group of elderly ladies sitting in the pavilion.

Today, all the officials knelt to welcome the Regent, and then went home. Each of them greeted his own wife, and the Regent's wife also knelt to be kowtowed by the court officials.

At this time, who would dare to be an enemy of the Jiang family mother and daughter?

The old lady of Duke Suguo had just seen Shen Yuanyuan clearly, and she couldn't help but glance at Song: Although she came from a ruined family, she still has some vision.

There is no man in charge in the Anyuan Marquis's mansion, so news is inevitably delayed. At this moment, the Anyuan Marquis's wife is overwhelmed by Zheng Jinfu's words, and her pride has nowhere to go. She has to be tough even if she doesn't want to be tough.

She simply said, "Princess Yongjia is not of royal blood, nor has she made any contributions to the country. She just took advantage of the princess's sister and got a cheap princess. Could it be that she wants the heroes who have made real contributions to kowtow to her?"

The Lady of the Marquis of Anyuan dared to say this, and of course she had her reasons.

She had asked someone to inquire about the news. Not long ago, Meng Shuhuai won a small victory in the battle against Nan Chu. An Yuanbo's camp made meritorious service. He himself was injured and would return to Beijing soon.

The battle against Nan Chu is a protracted one. In order to boost morale, all the people in An Yuanbo's camp must be rewarded.

However, the military deployment at the front is confidential and cannot be discussed publicly at the moment.

"A real combat hero?"

Zheng Jinfu was afraid that Madam Anyuan would give up, so he pressed on, "I wonder who Madam Anyuan is talking about?"

"There are some things I don't want to say at this moment, but I might as well tell you that even if the princess has a personal grudge against my Lin family, public is public and private is private. My Anyuan Earl's Mansion has made contributions, and even if the Regent King is unwilling, we must reward them according to their merits, otherwise we will not be able to convince the public."

The ladies who had felt humiliated just now, seeing how confident Lady Anyuan was, guessed something and began to help out, trying to save their own faces.

"As the saying goes, 'A man should be treated with new eyes after three days of absence'. Madam Qi has always been free and unrestrained, but I didn't expect that she could be so cautious and polite."

"That's right. Although Madam Qi came from a humble background, the children she raised are more promising than the others. Young Master Qi was already a general in the infantry battalion of the garrison army when he was still a young man."

"How can General Qi be as capable as Miss Qi? He was already guarding the Western Frontier for the prince when he was just 15 years old. It was only because of his younger sister's help that General Qi was promoted so quickly, right?"

"So amazing? As expected, this female hero is a heroine who is no less capable than men. With such a family tradition, we are far behind."

"The prince has just appointed a female general, so it shouldn't be difficult to appoint a female marquis. Let us congratulate Madam Qi first."

These ladies pretended to bow and saluted in unison.

People who are not in the know may think it is a sincere compliment at first, but those who know the inside story will know that every word is a precise attack.

They mocked Zheng Jinfu for her background, saying that she was uneducated and unruly, and that her daughter was lawless and eloped with someone.

If the generals joined forces, they would surely be suspected by their lord. They also hinted that the Qi family flattered the regent and his wife and forced their daughter away in order to gain a future for their son.

At today's banquet, there was no order for men and women to wait at separate tables. Instead, everyone followed the previous custom, with the women gathering in one place and the men taking the initiative to avoid suspicion and gathering in another place.

They are all next to Taiye Lake, so naturally they are not far apart.

A war broke out in the south. To prevent other countries from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, all the capable generals in the court left the capital to guard various places. Even most of the dukes and princes who had reached an age were not in the capital.

Most of the noble men who remained in the capital were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Now they were drinking tea and chatting while listening to the discussion here.

Seeing that the new noble ladies were incompetent, his own wife had the upper hand and enjoyed the tea even more.

In fact, the noble families are not completely powerless. The Duke of Weiguo guarded the border with his son and held military power, which was real power.

Shen Ting, the general of the garrison army, has always been on good terms with the aristocratic families.

As for the younger generation, the Prince of Suguo left the capital to guard the border since his marriage and will arrive in the capital soon. Even if he has not made any outstanding contributions, he must be rewarded for his seven years of loyalty to his duties.

And there is also the Earl of Anyuan.

Not only the wife of the Marquis of Anyuan got the news, they also got the news. The Marquis of Anyuan fought hard on the battlefield, and even if the Regent wanted to bury his contribution, these meritorious old ministers would not agree with it.

Want to bypass them and ascend the throne?

The Regent is still somewhat immature.

Everyone understood each other tacitly and toasted each other with tea instead of wine.

Princess Lin'an sat alone, supporting her head with one hand and holding a lotus-petal celadon cup with the other. She glanced at the ministers sitting below her, calculating the time in her mind.

Based on her understanding of her uncle, it was very likely that he let her aunt get up only after Xiao Yuanyuan changed her clothes and prepared to leave the house, and ran to Junlin Garden to say that she wanted to go together. Maybe he even lied to Xiao Yuanyuan, saying that they had important state affairs to discuss and asked them to go first.

After such a long and tiring journey, I came back and instead of thinking about taking a good rest and attending the evening banquet, I still have the mind to do these things.

These two really are a match made in heaven.

No one can change it.

Lin'an took a sip of tea, put down the cup, stood up and shook her sleeves. She had to go to the women's side to support those tongue-tied wives of military generals.

A good start for the celebration party for my uncle and aunt.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived—"

This time the announcement was made from close by, and all the ladies, young and old, standing and sitting, near and far, stood up and came forward.

"This humble servant pays respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Lin'an walked through the crowd and came to Jiang Peirong's side. He raised his hand to help her up, and moved his toes in front of Shen Yuanyuan, signaling her to stand up by herself.

Shen Yuanyuan stood up, her dark eyes lingering on each of the people she had just mocked.

Lin An understood and winked at her.

"What are you all talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Everyone followed Jiang Peirong and stood up, but no one dared to speak up and the surroundings fell silent.

The little guard in blue placed the carved chair behind the princess. Lin An sat down and picked up Shen Yuanyuan.

She pointed at the wife of the Marquis of Anyuan and said casually:

"You said."

The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan stepped forward, bowed and replied, "To answer the Princess, it was just a joke between women. I dare not pollute the Princess' ears."

"Joke? Then I am joking with you, come here——"

Lin An touched Shen Yuanyuan's hair and said with a fake smile: "Reward Anyuan Marquis's wife, rouge purple!"
