Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 530 Zhao Shun spoke up to protect his wife at the banquet

Author: Yuan An

At the beginning of the family banquet, His Majesty Zhao Bai sat in the main seat, followed by the Queen Mother and the Empress, and the rest of the seats were almost occupied by the whole family.

Shen Qinglan was next to Zhao Shun at the banquet table not far from the Queen Mother.

After His Majesty said a few words, he asked everyone to raise their glasses and drink the wine in one gulp.

After that, everyone had their own meals and drinks.

Zhao Shun picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Princess, you have worked hard this year, I would like to propose a toast to you."

Shen Qinglan frowned and whispered: "What are you doing...you..."

Although she was a little helpless, Shen Qinglan still raised his wine glass generously and drank a glass of wine with Zhao Shun.

"The prince really loves the princess," said a noble family member.

Zhao Shun smiled and said, "No, Shen is my princess. She is not doted on, but cherished."

"The princess has just given birth not long ago, and her body has recovered really well. I'm afraid she will be the envy of all women in the world." Another noble family member said.

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "No, madam, she was just joking."

"Why does the princess have to be so modest? It has been several years since we gave birth and our bodies have not recovered as before. This shows that the princess still has some abilities." Another noble family member said.

"My princess has always been diligent and strict with herself, that's why she is like this. Madams, you don't have to envy me." Zhao Shun said.

Hearing this, the three noble family members who just spoke looked a little embarrassed, and they didn't dare to express their anger.

Zhao Shun means that they are lazy and indulge themselves too much?

"Your Majesty, how can we compare with the Princess? We, who were born in aristocratic families, are not as well-informed as the Princess. In addition to poems, books, etiquette and music, paintings, flowers, tea, etc., we usually don't have much experience.

There is something to be done." One of the noble family members said.

Zhao Shun sneered, "This is enough to show that even if you are born into a wealthy family, you must broaden your knowledge and not be limited to one field. It seems that being born into a wealthy family is better than being born into a merchant, as you will know more.

"

Ye Shuyue and Zhao Anning smiled in unison, and the face of the noble family member who just spoke turned green.

Shen Qinglan couldn't help but smile. Although Zhao Shun's blatant partiality would make her enemies, she didn't care at all.

"Princess Regent, do you have any tricks for recovering so quickly?" asked a lady in her early twenties.

"Actually, there is no particularly good way. I just need to control my diet and exercise more." Shen Qinglan said.

"exercise?"

When everyone heard this method, they all burst into laughter. The woman in the backyard, who was supposed to never leave the house without taking a single step, and never touch the spring water with her fingers, actually had to "exercise"?

"Exercise is to strengthen your body. If you don't like it, you can just keep having a bloated belly and a bloated body. There is no need to laugh at others." Zhao Anning said.

After saying that, all the women in the hall started talking.

"What the county leader said is that those things...we really don't know how to do, haha..."

"Yes, we have never left the boudoir since we were young. Unlike the Princess Regent, who has not yet gotten married, she shows up to provide disaster relief."

"No, but the princess also got the title of County Lord because of this. We can't learn from this."

…

Zhao Shun frowned. He didn't want to get involved in the quarrel between women. He didn't expect these guys to be so excessive. This shows how much idleness Sisi suffered in daily life.

He looked at Shen Qinglan, thinking that she must also be very angry, but he didn't expect that she actually had a calm look on her face and started eating with chopsticks.

"Disaster relief is a matter for the country and the people. Some people have never cared about the lives of the people themselves and have the nerve to laugh at others." The eldest princess said.

Ye Shuyue looked at the eldest princess and smiled. The mother-in-law was still as full of justice as ever.

"Yes, how can we compare to the Shen family who are so rich? Money is the least important thing to the Shen family, right? Princess Shen," said Mrs. Dongyan Mansion.

Shen Qinglan clenched her fists. This guy just wanted to humiliate her! He actually dared to humiliate his second brother!

"Madam is right, money is really not important to our Shen family, so we, the Shen family, are never stingy in helping the poor. I heard that during the Chinese New Year in Dongyan Mansion this year, people giving gifts were in a hurry. , one box after another was carried into the warehouse, which exhausted the servants, there must be no less than two hundred boxes... Madam, I wonder what good things they are? Dongyan Mansion has accepted them all, could it be that they are prepared? Now, do you want to hand it over to the national treasury?" Shen Qinglan said.

"Princess, are you throwing dirty water on our Dongyan Mansion? These are the harvests of our Dongyan Mansion's shops. They are originally our Dongyan Mansion's things. What does it have to do with you?" Dongyan Mansion? Mrs. Fu said.

Shen Qinglan smiled, nodded and said: "I see, then it seems that Dongyan Mansion is also very rich? Everyone knows that Dongyan Mansion is a wealthy family in Kyoto, with a wealthy family, but His Majesty Chu When I ascended the throne, I asked you to donate money from your noble mansion, but Dongyan Mansion only donated five hundred taels. Isn't it even enough for this box of harvest?"

"you……"

Mrs. Dong Yanfu was speechless for a moment and could only close her mouth silently.

Dong Yanbo glared at his wife, wishing he could take this wasteful thing back to his house immediately.

"Sisi, donations are all voluntary. If Dongyan Mansion can donate five hundred taels, it would be good." Zhao Shun picked up the wine glass and said.

Dong Yanbo nodded repeatedly and said, "That's what the prince said."

Zhao Shun chuckled and said: "If Dongyan Mansion cares about the people, it will naturally not be stingy. However, Dongyan Mansion has a great cause and has only donated five hundred taels. It is indeed unreasonable. After all, Dongyan Mansion also receives salary from the imperial court. , respected by the people, but he has forgotten his true heart, which is really not what he should be."

"Your Majesty, you just said that donating any amount is voluntary." Mrs. Dongyanfu said.

"Yes, but when you drink water, remember the source. The money of the imperial court comes from the taxes of the people. In the final analysis, the salary of Dongyan Mansion also comes from the people. Dongyan Mansion is so ungrateful. It is really ashamed of the court and the world." Zhao Shun said.

"Your Majesty, what you said is too exaggerated! The one who donated 500 taels is not our Dongyan Mansion family. When Your Majesty said this, was he targeting our Dongyan Mansion?" Mrs. Dongyan Mansion asked.

"It's other people's business how much they donate. What Mrs. Dongyan said...doesn't she think it's natural to do so?" Zhao Shun asked again.

Dong Yanbo glared at his wife again, stood up quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this woman is ignorant, please don't worry about her."

Zhao Shun also stood up, clasped his fists at the superior and said, "Your Majesty, everyone in the Dongyan Mansion is ashamed of the imperial court. I ask your Majesty to judge and never let go of such ungrateful people."

Mrs. Dongyanfu stood up and said: "You... Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the crime mentioned by the Regent is completely unfounded!"

"Isn't it true? It doesn't matter if Madam feels that she has been wronged. I will order someone to go to your residence to conduct a thorough investigation to see if what the Regent and the Regent's wife said is true," Zhao Bai said.

"Your Majesty! Our Dongyan Mansion only donated 500 taels because we encountered some difficulties. Some houses donated less. Your Majesty, please take a closer look." said the lady of Dongyan Mansion.

"The law does not punish everyone, don't you understand this truth?" Zhao Bai said.

"Your Majesty, our Dongyan Mansion did encounter difficulties at that time, but now it has been able to turn around. I am willing to hand over all the savings that the Mansion earned last year. Please calm down your Majesty." Dongyan Bo said.
