Chapter 426 Prince VS Little Brother 26
The two had dinner in the palace before, and after returning to the palace, they went straight back to their rooms to rest.
Of course, they did not fall asleep directly. After all, Xiao Yubai had promised to do some "exercise" in the evening in the carriage.
So, Fu Nanzhan enjoyed this sweet time to the fullest, while Xiao Yubai was exhausted and fell asleep.
While the two were in love, various officials also received news that a flower-viewing banquet was about to be held in the palace.
This news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
After hearing this, many officials began to make plans in their minds. They knew that this was a great opportunity to send their children into the palace, so they racked their brains to think of countermeasures.
"My Lord, it's said that this palace banquet was actually organized by that little bitch Xiao Yubai. Ever since the Regent woke up, he hasn't returned to the Marquis' Mansion once. This is truly unfilial!"
Ever since she was severely slapped last time, Mrs. Xiao has been filled with resentment towards Xiao Yubai. When she mentioned him this time, her tone was full of gnashing hatred.
"This rebellious son!" Marquis Yong'an's face flushed with anger. "He only rose to power through sheer luck, and now he's completely disregarding his family's kindness. If it weren't for the Marquis' Mansion, how would he have had the chance to marry the Regent?"
These two people completely forgot that Xiao Yubai did not marry into the Regent's Palace voluntarily. Now they are here to blame him blindly. It is really shameless.
"My Lord, Dayong has always governed the world with filial piety. As his mother, if he dares to be unfilial, we can use this as an excuse to pull him down from that high position." Madam Xiao was able to sit firmly in the position of the wife of the Marquis, naturally she had extraordinary means, and at this moment there was a sinister light flashing in her eyes.
"This rebellious son!" Yong'an Hou paced back and forth, then stopped after a moment and said, "But there will be a palace banquet in four days. You should take Xiaoyu into the palace. If Xiaoyu can be lucky enough to become the imperial consort, it would naturally be the best.
If that's not possible, we must find a way to get him into the palace. With Xiaoyu's looks and talent, he will definitely be able to squeeze that rebellious son out. By then, our Yong'an Marquisate will still be a prestigious and noble family in Dayong."
However, every word of Yong'an Hou's plan reached Fu Nanzhan's ears.
Only then did he suddenly remember that he had been in love with his beloved wife for more than two months and had completely forgotten about dealing with the matter of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
In the next few days, Xiao Yubai devoted himself to the preparations for the palace banquet and was extremely busy.
Fu Nanzhan knew very well how important this matter was to him, so he did not disturb him. He just waited quietly by the side, silently watching his every move.
When it came time to distribute the notices, Fu Nanzhan specifically instructed them to ignore the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
All the ministers were sharp-minded and shrewd people. The last incident of the imperial teacher making a human pig had made them realize that the Yong'an Marquisate might have offended the Regent.
Now that they saw that no invitation was sent to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion this time, they all warned their wives to keep a distance from the Marquis' Mansion and not to get too close.
"Bang!" A loud noise was heard in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. It turned out that Mrs. Xiao was so angry after learning that she had not received the invitation that she threw the teacup in her hand to the ground.
"This rebellious son! He didn't even send a note to the Marquis' Mansion. It's obvious that he doesn't take the Marquis' Mansion seriously. How unfilial he is!" Madam Xiao was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her eyes were as big as copper bells.
"My lord, I will send someone to the Regent's Palace to find out clearly. Who the hell is this Xiao Yubai? How dare he treat our Yong'an Marquis's Mansion like this!" The hatred in Mrs. Xiao's heart at this moment was like a surging tide. She wished she could cut Xiao Yubai into pieces immediately.
"Hmph, I want to see what that rebellious son can say!" Marquis Yong'an also had a face full of anger and gritted his teeth.
Madam Xiao immediately sent a maid to the Regent's Palace to inquire.
The maid arrived at the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion and said to the doorman Mo Shu in a haughty manner, "I am from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. Madam sent me to ask the prince about something."
Her face was full of disdain, as if she didn't take the Regent's Palace seriously at all.
The gatekeeper didn't know the reason and didn't have a visiting card, so he could only go to find the housekeeper Yang. Mo Shu happened to be there, so he followed the gatekeeper to the mansion gate.
"Why are you so slow? Madam asked me to find Prince Wang. Please let me in quickly." The maid looked at Mo Shu with disdain.
Mo Shu had been in the Regent's Palace for many years. As the Regent's personal servant, he was highly respected on a daily basis. But now he was being treated so rudely by a maid. He couldn't help but feel angry and amused.
He said coldly: "Disrespect the king, slap the face."
The maid and servant nearby came over and grabbed the maid from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and slapped her twice.
"You all, I'm from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion..." The maid was about to shout again, but Mo Shu waved his hand and the servant blocked her mouth.
"To see the prince? Who are you? If you want to see the prince, send a visiting card. If you have nothing else to do, please leave immediately. The Regent's Palace is not a place where just anyone can come and go as they please!"
