Chapter 1080: The Thoughts of Marquis Chengen

Marquis Chengen didn't know that Shao Wanru's simple painting ruined the painting he was previously satisfied with.

After returning home, he went to the study to admire this satisfactory painting again, but was stopped by Mrs. Hou's people, who asked him to go to the backyard first.

Marquis Chengen didn't know what happened, so he followed his mother-in-law in. When he entered the door, his eyes immediately fell on the table. The precious painting he just got was placed in the box on the table. For a moment, he didn't understand what happened. What.

After entering the door, he stomped to the table with his hands behind his back, looked at the paintings, turned around and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Didn't you say before that you didn't want to see the paintings I bought?"

"Is this a birthday gift that the Marquis wants to give to the Queen Mother?" Mrs. Chengenhou asked.

Chengenhou turned around and walked to her side to sit down, nodded, and said with a smile: "This painting is not bad, it fits the scene, and has a fantastic idea. Giving it to the Queen Mother will definitely make the Queen Mother look good, and it will definitely make the Holy Emperor happy." I am grateful for the Queen Mother’s kindness.”

The more Marquis Chengen thought about it, the more he felt satisfied. The more he thought about it, the better he felt. He was extremely satisfied.

"Master Hou, it's better not to give it to the Queen Mother in public. This painting is not the only birthday gift." Madam Chengenhou shook her hand and said bluntly, "Just now the eldest princess Ruian and Princess Chen came over, and Princess Chen also took out a painting The painting is very similar to yours, and more exquisite than yours. The most important thing is that the painting was made by Princess Chen herself, and it is also conceived with maple leaves!"

"What, this...how is this possible?" Marquis Chengen raised his head in shock, astonished.

He has been looking for a suitable painting to give to the Queen Mother recently. This maple leaf painting is the most whimsical one he can find. Before he found it, he had never even thought that it could be like this. Painting.

Such a good idea is actually so important to someone else, especially this person is Princess Chen, not to mention that Princess Chen did it with her own hands. This intention should make the Queen Mother like it more than herself!

"Master Hou, this is true. Not only did I see it, but my daughter-in-law also saw it." Mrs. Chengen Hou rubbed her forehead with her hand and said helplessly.

There is nothing wrong with her husband-in-law. He is just too gentle in temperament, his ears are a little soft, and he has no great abilities. But these are not important. As long as Chengenhou is good and does not cause any big trouble, Chengen Mrs. Hou felt that it was not a big deal, and of course it was best not to do anything embarrassing.

Chengenhou Mansion is the natal family of the Queen Mother. If you lose face, you will lose the face of the Queen Mother.

"Master Marquis, this painting conflicts with Princess Chen, and it is not as good as Princess Chen. You'd better not give it away, so as not to lose face. Besides, you are still an elder, how can you bump into a junior and not give in? Woolen cloth!"

She knew clearly that what Princess Chen gave her was also a maple leaf painting, and that it was better than the one from her own house. In fact, even if it was better than the one from her own house, Mrs. Chengenhou felt that she had to give in.

The elders give way to the younger ones, not to mention that this is Princess Chen. Even if someone knows the matter, they will only say that their prince is generous and decent.

Princess Chen is a newlywed, and she wants to please the Queen Mother, so she should do her best to give her birthday gift for the first time.

Chengenhou Mansion is the natal family of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother dotes on King Chen, so Chengenhou Mansion should also help. No matter from which aspect of this matter, Chengenhou Mansion must give way to Princess Chen.

To take a step back, if you didn't know that Princess Chen also prepared a maple leaf painting and accidentally bumped into it, there would be nothing to say. Now that you know it, you still pretend you don't know it. Mrs. Chengenhou feels that it is really inappropriate.

"Is she really about the same as what I prepared?" Marquis Chengen looked at his painting distressedly, feeling a little unconvinced. He finally got such a painting, and he really didn't want to give up.

"Of course it's almost the same, and even better. The Marquis's is not as good as the one prepared by Princess Chen. Moreover, this painting was not drawn by the Marquis himself, and it lacks a little care." Mrs. Chengenhou attacked him mercilessly. Tao, making his words worthless.

Marquis Chengen was very aggrieved. He really felt good about it and wanted to give the painting to his sister. But when Marquis Chengen said this, he couldn't ignore it. He lowered his head in a hurry: "Since Princess Chen is like this , then... then forget it, I won’t give it to the Queen Mother!”

In fact, the Queen Mother must have liked it very much.

The more Marquis Chengen thought about it, the sadder he became. He felt that all his efforts had been in vain, and he was really unwilling to do so. He looked at the scroll on the table numbly, and felt that his heart was clenching, and he was so unwilling to give in.

Seeing his dejected expression, as if he was lifeless, Mrs. Chengen Hou rubbed her brows helplessly: "If Mr. Hou must give it away, there is nothing we can do!"

"What can I do?" Marquis Chengen regained his energy, sat upright, and looked at his old wife with a serious look on his face.

His wife always has ideas, but he doesn't have any big ideas, and sometimes he has to ask his wife for advice.

"If the Marquis must give it to you, and you think the Queen Mother will definitely like this painting, just give it to her in private!" Mrs. Chengenhou said helplessly. The Marquis's stubborn temper is becoming more and more like a child. If not today, Soothe him, he will be depressed for a few days.

The whole person also has no energy. It is not a good thing for older people to be in poor spirits all the time.

"Is it okay?" Chengenhou's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

He didn't necessarily have to give it in front of the Holy Emperor and the ministers, but he just felt that the Queen Mother must like this painting. If he didn't give it to the Queen Mother, he wouldn't be kind to him.

"It's okay, but the Marquis must also make it clear that Princess Chen's painting is better. You shouldn't have given it to her originally, but you just thought the Queen Mother would like it, so you gave it to the Queen Mother specially." Chengenhou warned.

"Okay, okay, I know. I'll pack it up and go into the palace to see the Queen Mother soon." Marquis Chengen nodded repeatedly. As long as he was allowed to deliver it, no matter how he delivered it or how he said it, he would be happy to do so.

He simply wanted the Queen Mother to see his feelings and like him.

"Zhuo Zhuo knows about this painting?" Princess Ruian asked. She was surprised for a moment before, but now when she thought about it carefully, how could she not be confused.

It was Shao Wanru who was going to Chengenhou's mansion, and it was Shao Wanru who was showing a similar painting now.

"Grandma, I heard that Marquis Chengen got a scroll of painting, and it was similar to mine. I specifically asked grandma to ask for it for me. I thought that if the painting was not as good as the one from Marquis Chengen's house, I would put it away and not give it to the Queen Mother. I won’t send it to the empress, or if Mrs. Chengenhou says there’s anything wrong with it, she won’t send it to you.”

Shao Wanru lowered his head in embarrassment and said, with a look of shame in his eyes: "I didn't know the details before, so I didn't explain it to my grandmother. I hope my grandmother will forgive me!"

The eldest princess of Ruian couldn't see her granddaughter like this the most, and waved her hand carelessly: "Since you married into the royal family, you can tell your grandmother some things you can, but you don't have to tell her if you can't. You don't have to tell her some things about King Chen. Tell me, there are many rules in the royal family. If you marry Prince Chen, you will be a member of Prince Chen’s palace. You must always remember this."

At this point, Princess Ruian stopped, and then said slowly: "No matter what you do, grandma will definitely be on your side, but you don't have to tell grandma everything."

Shao Wanru's nose was sore, and she could hardly control the tears in her eyes. In her last life, she and her grandmother had missed each other, but in this life, her grandmother had given him all the love.

She will protect her grandmother and everyone who loves her.

"Grandma..."

Biting her lip, suppressing the sadness in her heart, she raised her head again, although there were still tears in her eyes, but a smile appeared on her face, "Grandma, don't worry, Zhuo Zhuo knows how to protect herself, not only herself, but also Grandma and Hao'er."

"This child..." The corners of the eyes of Princess Ruian, who has always been strong, also became moist. "You child... what are you talking about? It was your grandmother who should have been protecting you two. Your irresponsible mother made things happen. In this state, leaving you two such young children behind and passed away..."

Thinking of her deceased daughter, the eldest princess Ruian could no longer hold back and shed tears.

I was angry with my daughter before, but now I only feel sorry for her. She is old and young, so why didn’t she know how to cherish herself, and she died like this?

"Grandma, don't be sad. You have me and Hao'er now. We will live a good life in the future." Shao Wanru comforted Princess Ruian.

He stretched out his hand to pull the sleeve of the eldest princess, and shook it gently, with a bit of a naive girlish look, which made the pain in the eldest princess' heart slightly lessen. Although her daughter is no longer there, what her daughter left behind The children are still there. Even for this pair of lovely children, the eldest princess cannot fall down.

She had to build a strong backing for them. Even if her granddaughter now became Princess Chen and did not need her backing, the eldest princess Ruian still felt that she had to persevere.

"You...have said something about Shao Jing before, how is the investigation going?" Thinking of her daughter, she suddenly remembered what Shao Wanru mentioned before, and her face became stern, "If it is really Shao Jing who did it, I will never let it go. his."

"Grandma, this matter still needs to be investigated. There is no way to explain clearly without concrete evidence. Don't worry yet." Shao Wanru said.

She hoped that she would complete these things by herself. Her grandmother was old and not good at pretending. She would just follow her grandmother as she was after the matter settled.

We must not upset grandma, let alone make her angry or worried. I mentioned it to her before because I had to ask grandma some things.

She will avenge her father and mother with her own hands.

His father must have died because of Shao Jing, and Shao Jing could not escape his mother's death. The wife of Marquis Xingguo, Jiang, must also have known about it.

It's just that things have been going on for too long, and it's not easy to find evidence. She will take her time and push her enemies into the abyss step by step.

"Grandma, I will tell you after I find out. I need some calligraphy and painting now. Can you help me find it?" Shao Wanru was afraid that Princess Ruian would ask these things again, so she hurriedly changed the subject. This is what she needs now. One important thing to do…
