Chapter 205: Shen Family Affairs
"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch. Let's have lunch first."
The Queen, Concubine Shu and others had to put down the clothes in their hands with regret.
"Okay then, let's continue after lunch."
When Mo Sheng heard this, he felt like the sky was falling.
[Save me, save me, who will save me?]
System: [My young master, Xiaoba can’t help me.
You can only persevere and try out a few more sets.]
Mo Sheng sighed in despair.
Looking forward to her father's birthday coming soon.
Fortunately, three days passed in a flash.
Soon it was Mo Jinyi’s Halloween.
Mo Sheng did not follow her father, but came to the banquet with Concubine Rong in advance. She sat obediently in Concubine Rong's arms.
With a sluggish face, he looked left and right curiously.
There is an empty seat below the throne, as if it was reserved for someone else.
Opposite the position is the position of the concubines in the harem, which is where Mo Sheng is now.
Below them sat the princes and princesses of the royal family, and further away were other members of the royal family.
Further away were Beiyun’s court officials and their families.
Why do some of the faces look unfamiliar?
Some familiar faces didn't come to her last birthday party.
Sitting opposite them were some people with unfamiliar looks.
Among them was someone Mo Sheng was familiar with, the third prince of Li Kingdom, Meng Hanfeng.
There was also a woman who looked similar to him next to him, and they were behaving very intimately.
It must be his sister or elder sister.
The other people sitting there, young and old, were all dressed in silk and satin, wearing precious ornaments that only the royal family could wear, and had arrogant looks on their faces.
It seems that the envoys from various countries this time are all powerful people in their respective countries.
And there were envoys sitting far away from them.
After reading it, Mo Sheng silently withdrew his gaze and stared at the fruits on the table.
[Xiao Ba, there are many envoys from other countries today. Can you check if there is anything wrong with them?]
[Also, how come there are some relatives of some of our important ministers that I don’t recognize?]
System: [Take a closer look at which family the minister belongs to.]
Mo Sheng turned his head and took a closer look.
It was discovered that it was at Master Shen’s house.
No wonder she felt something was wrong. It turned out that Shen Baiying, who had been coveting the Crown Prince for a long time, was not there.
Logically speaking, with her arrogant and domineering personality, it is impossible for her not to attend such an important occasion.
[Who is this person? He can't be one of their relatives.
Judging from how carefully the Shen family protects her, this person's identity is very important.]
Xiao Ba didn't say it clearly.
System: [My dear master, please guess again]
What on earth is this Xiao Ba keeping in suspense?
She turned her head again.
Suddenly, he squinted his eyes.
The girl was 7% similar to the lady next to her. Even though she was dressed up carefully, one could still see the sallowness on her face.
The lady next to her should be the wife of the king's brother-in-law. She was asking the girl about her well-being, but the girl was too well-behaved. She just sat there quietly, not daring to move.
Some are still at a loss, even cautious.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the king's wife, he looked frightened and didn't know how to react.
There were clearly a lot of snacks and food on the table, but she didn't touch a single bite.
There was clearly desire in his eyes, but he was afraid of breaking things.
I can only maintain my face by using the etiquette I have just learned.
This was in stark contrast to the other noble ladies around her who were accustomed to such scenes and had dignified manners.
[Xiao Ba, judging from her expression and movements, this person can't be the biological child of the Shen family]
System: [My little master, you are so smart.
That’s right, this girl is the biological daughter that Uncle Shen and his men found.
I found it before you returned to Beijing.]
Mo Sheng took another closer look at the quiet girl who was completely different from everyone else.
[How did you find it back, and why did Shen Baiying disappear again?
A family like the Shen family, even if they want to find their own child, they would not be so heartless as to abandon the child they raised with their own hands.]
System: [Young master, this child is now called Shen Yaojia. They discovered this child by chance.
There are many concubines in the harem, but only a few are favored, and there are always some unfavored concubines.
The people in the harem are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. If a concubine is not favored, even the palace maids who serve her will be treated poorly.
In order to live a better life in the harem, some palace servants started to do dirty things.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, you will naturally be discovered.
People have been reporting this to your mother one after another. With more and more people reporting this, your mother will definitely investigate this theft case in the harem.
It was discovered that some small items in the palace were resold to the capital by palace servants, so the Queen sent people out of the palace to investigate.
They traced the case back to that ninth-rank minor official and discovered that they were secretly reselling items from the palace.
The person who went to investigate was Shen Huaiyu, a child of the Shen family.
He got lost when he visited Shen's house at night and walked into Shen Yaojia's yard. Shen Yaojia, who was still washing clothes in the middle of the night, was frightened when she saw him. In order to avoid danger to her life.
Showed Shen Huaiyu the way out of the house.
Shen Huaiyu discovered that Shen Yaojia was similar to the mistress of the Shen family.
After becoming suspicious and investigating further, they found that it was indeed the child of their Shen family.
He told Uncle Shen the news.
Uncle Shen's family was greatly shocked and later took the girl back.
Shen Baiying would definitely not accept another person taking away her love.
Besides, she had originally planned to kill Shen Yaojia.
Now that people have danced in front of her, she will naturally not give up.
These occasional frame-ups are just minor ones.
She later hired someone to kill someone, and Shen Yaojia was injured.
Uncle Shen was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
After finding out that it was Shen Baiying who did it, logically speaking, she should pay with her life.
Mrs. Shen thought that after all, she had raised the child for so many years, so she pleaded for mercy and sent the child back to the minor official's home.
Oh, young master, that young official and his family are all in jail.
As for why Shen Yaojia did not appear at the royal banquets a few times, it was because the Shen family was forcing her to learn etiquette.
Mo Sheng: …………
She thought Mrs. Shen was so kind-hearted.
Sure enough, there are many ways to punish people among the nobles.
This move of hers was much more torturous than taking Shen Baiying's life directly.
But, is this really a coincidence?
Why did she feel that this matter was weird?
The queen, sitting on the high throne, was dignified and smiling.
How can there be such a thing as coincidence?
It was just a reasonable arrangement after I got the news from her.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Mo Sheng was startled by the sudden sound.
「Oh my. Father is still as arrogant as ever.」
Mo Jinyi: Isn’t he just a little late?
This person has yin and yang.
When Mo Jinyi arrived, the banquet naturally began.
He looked at the empty space in the lower right corner and turned his head.
"He hasn't arrived yet?"
