Chapter 1178 Golden Cage (11)

Concubine Rong poked her nose, pretending to be angry and said, "Next time you dare to sneak out, I will ground you for five years."

Shen Mubai was startled and quickly said coquettishly, "I was wrong, concubine. I won't dare to do it next time."

Concubine Rong said sadly, "You are not in good health. Every time you get sick, your mother and concubine will be worried together."

Shen Mubai drank the medicine in one gulp, ate the candied fruit with a frown on his face, and then said, "Concubine, I'm sorry."

Concubine Rong truly dotes on Wenren Yingluo, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she regards her as her lifeblood.

Even Shen Mubai, the impostor, couldn't help but be moved.

Concubine Rong picked up the handkerchief and wiped it for her, "In two months, there will be a banquet in the palace. In previous years, you didn't have to attend because of your poor health. This year, your father wants you to meet those brothers."

Wenren Yingluo's body was really weak before, as if he was about to collapse when he went out. Although it's not much better now, it's not that exaggerated either. In previous years, I was able to fool him out, but this year, I am about to turn six, so it can't be justified.

After the bitter taste of the preserves in his mouth disappeared, Shen Mubai said, "Are all nine brothers going to attend?"

"Of course." Concubine Rong said with a smile, without thinking too much.

Shen Mubai nodded.

Concubine Rong touched the little princess's head and said, "Don't be so naughty when you meet them, otherwise it will be bad if you leave a different impression."

Shen Mubai hummed, "What if one of them wants to bully me?"

Concubine Rong couldn't help laughing, "Why are they bullying you?"

Shen Mubai sighed, "Maybe."

"If they bully you, just ask your father for comment. My mother and concubine will also support Luo'er." Concubine Rong's tone was calm, without the slightest hint of fear.

She was deeply favored by the emperor, and her mother-in-law was an important minister in the court, so she naturally had confidence.

Chen Mubai curled his eyes and felt happy in his heart. Apart from the medicine jar, this body was simply a winner in life.

Two months was neither long nor short, and it passed by while she was recuperating her body.

On the day of the banquet, Concubine Rong had her dressed up, and then, led by the eunuch who came, she walked towards the Leyang Hall.

"Concubine Rong, the ninth princess has arrived." The eunuch's high-pitched and thin voice sounded, attracting the attention of many people in the table.

Concubine Rong wore a peony embroidered skirt, which was simple yet luxurious. Coupled with her stunning appearance, it was no wonder that she was deeply favored by the emperor. She was holding a girl in her hand. Even at such a young age, it was not difficult to tell that she was going to be a rare beauty.

Concubine Rong took Shen Mubai to pay homage to the Emperor and Queen Mother first.

Compared with the emperor's smile and love, the Queen Mother's attitude was a little colder.

If he hadn't known that she was always like this, Shen Mubai would have almost thought that the other party didn't want to see her.

"Is Luo'er's health feeling better?" the Queen Mother asked casually.

Concubine Rong said, "Back to the Queen Mother, Luo'er has recovered a lot recently."

The Queen Mother nodded and said no more.

Only then did Concubine Rong take her seat with Shen Mubai.

Her position is second only to the queen, which shows that this favor is not ordinary.

In addition to the concubines and princes from the harem, this banquet was attended by some ministers' children.

There was a lot of fun at the table, and there were quite a few people looking over to investigate inadvertently.

Shen Mubai noticed that the sixth prince last time was staring at her, and when he saw her looking over, he snorted.

She smiled and then looked away.
