GBP Chapter 182 Birthday Banquet (Part )
Chapter 182 Birthday Banquet (Part )
The next day.
As soon as the sky was getting light, the whole palace became bustling.
The weather at the end of July was gradually turning cooler, but the palace servants were all busy as ever.
Today is the fifth birthday banquet for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. The entire palace has been preparing for quite some time, and we cannot let things down at this critical moment.
Qiao Randian...
There was an exquisite little person sleeping on the golden bed, whose facial features looked very much like the queen. But as soon as he opened his eyes, his whole temperament changed.
An Ran, who has already started learning to read with Chu Qingmo, is very similar to her in not only the way she speaks and acts, but also her aura.
Despite being so young, he looked intimidating without even getting angry. Except for those who served him closely, the other palace servants were all a little scared when they saw the young master.
Anran woke up early today and crawled out of bed without waiting for anyone to serve her.
The palace maid who came in to serve opened the door at the usual time and saw that the Princess was already dressed and sitting by the mirror waiting for them to comb her hair.
After a series of kowtows and apologies, he quickly helped the young master wash up.
After everything was ready, the maid in charge brought the servants in the palace to congratulate the young master on his birthday.
Little Anran imitated his father, nodded slightly, and said:
"reward!"
This attracted another wave of voices of thanks, and before they could finish their words, An Ran had already impatiently walked out of Qiao Ran Palace.
Thinking of the agreement she made with Jiaojiao the day before yesterday, Anran's serious face softened immediately, and a hint of smile flashed in her deer-like clear eyes.
I wonder if Jiaojiao has entered the palace with her two aunts...
With this in mind, An Ran walked with her short legs towards her mother's bedroom with a clear goal in mind.
She knew that even if Jiaojiao entered the palace, she would go to her mother first, so if she went there first, she would be able to see her first.
only……
When An Ran arrived at her mother's bedroom, she discovered...
My mother hasn't gotten up yet...
This... is outrageous. Could it be that her father went to the morning court on her behalf again?
Her mother was really getting lazier and lazier. She remembered that she had appeared in the front court last year, but now she often claimed to be sick and did not attend court.
She didn't know whether the court officials knew her mother was pretending to be sick, but she knew she was.
But what good was it knowing that? She was powerless and couldn't change anything.
Her father even threatened her not to disturb her mother when she was resting, otherwise she would have to do double the homework.
But...why?
I am my mother's biological child, so I should be the person closest to her.
Why is it that when my mother is resting, my father can come in whenever he wants, but I can't! This is so unfair!
An Ran came to her mother's bedroom early but was turned away. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became... Then, taking advantage of the fact that today was her birthday, she ignored the palace servants' obstruction and ran straight into her mother's bedroom.
Just when he was about to succeed... he was stopped by the secret guards around his father.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. The master has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb His Majesty until he wakes up." The black-clad secret guard said expressionlessly.
Seeing that there was no hope of getting in, An Ran said stubbornly,
"I won't disturb my mother. I just want to sit here."
The secret guard bowed respectfully and did not hide in the dark.
Who knows if the young master will rush in again? She must complete the task assigned by the master well, otherwise her end will be miserable.
Just as the little secret guard was concentrating on staring at his young master, there was suddenly a burst of noise outside.
Just when the little secret guard was hesitating whether to send a message to ask the people outside to be quiet so as not to disturb His Majesty's rest, An Ran, who was sitting at the table, jumped out as if she was equipped with a spring.
He ran out and shouted excitedly:
"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao! Is that you?"
The secret guards who were ordered to guard the Queen's bedroom suddenly looked dejected. It's over! Your Highness's loud noise must have woken His Majesty.
She is miserable!
As expected, the next moment, His Majesty's hoarse voice came from the inner hall:
"Somebody come!"
The servants in the bedroom were helping His Majesty change clothes and wash up in an orderly manner. Outside the bedroom, Anran was looking at Jiaojiao who was walking over with her two aunts, smiling foolishly.
Sister Jiaojiao is wearing a bright red robe today, with two festive red ribbons tied on her head. She looks like a chubby little dumpling and is extremely cute.
Thinking of the promise he had made to Jiaojiao that he would take her to crawl through the dog hole today, Xiao Anran hesitated again.
Jiaojiao is so cute and beautiful. Will taking her to crawl through a dog hole lead her astray?
Jiang Yuwan, who didn't know her daughter was being thought of, took her wife in one hand and her daughter in the other, and walked forward slowly. Looking at the little Anran who was staring at them in a daze, she smiled and said,
"Happy birthday Anran!"
"Thank you, Aunt Wan!" An Ran scratched her head and smiled shyly, no longer looking like the little adult she used to be.
"Happy birthday, little Anran!" Nan Xi, who was standing by, looked at the tightly closed palace door and the little Anran standing in front of it. After wishing her a happy birthday, she couldn't help but ask, "Where's your mother? She's not up yet, is she?"
Hearing the teasing in Aunt Xi's tone, An Ran really wanted to join in and complain about her mother.
But thinking that he had to protect his mother's face in public, he just smiled shyly and said embarrassedly:
"Mother is still sleeping."
When Nan Xi heard her words, dozens of scenes that were not suitable for children flashed through his mind.
Still sleeping at this hour, must have been exhausted last night, hahahaha...
She would definitely laugh at that guy later.
As the villain in Nanxi's heart was pounding the ground frantically and laughing so hard that he almost choked, a dissatisfied voice came from the hall:
"I woke up a long time ago. Who said I haven't gotten up yet?"
This voice is familiar and hoarse. Oh no! I want to laugh even more.
"We didn't wake you up, did we?" Nan Xi said as she pushed open the door in front of her.
As the door opened, Nan Xi looked at An Yi, whose clothes were disheveled and hair was disheveled, and the smile she had been suppressing finally burst out:
"We really woke him up."
Meeting Nan Xi's mocking eyes, An Yi glared at her fiercely, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Damn guy, coming to laugh at me so early in the morning!
Just when An Yi was feeling indignant, Nan Xi curled her lips, revealing a wicked smile, and deliberately said:
"You are such a leisurely queen, you don't even have to attend the morning court."
Nan Xi emphasized the word "leisurely" very much, and the irony was very obvious.
An Yi rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily:
"How dare you say that about me? No matter how leisurely I am, can I compare to you two? You don't even care about the children."
Facing An Yi's malicious look, Nan Xi first glanced at her daughter carefully, and found that her daughter was having fun with little An Ran and didn't pay attention to what they were saying. Only then did she feel relieved and turned around to threaten An Yi fiercely:
"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll beat you up!"
The damn An Yi actually tried to sow discord between the mother and daughter. He is so despicable!
Feeling threatened, An Yi first ordered someone to take the two children away, then he feigned anger and shouted:
"How dare you! How dare you deceive the emperor!"
Unfortunately, the aura she tried so hard to create did not scare Nan Xi, who was becoming more and more courageous.
"So what if I bullied you..." Nan Xi said as she pushed the palace maid who was combing An Yi's hair aside and reached out her hand towards her armpit.
In just two breaths, the Queen's plea for mercy was heard:
"Let go. I was wrong... I was wrong. Stop! Stop now! I have something serious to ask you."
