The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler Novel - Chapter 540
540 Retribution! (2)
“I can’t even remember what he looks like,” the Prince Consort said.
“Isn’t there a portrait of Cong’er? You drew them yourself,” the Queen asked.
“Mhm.” The Prince Consort nodded, but there was always a trace of strangeness in his heart. It seemed that the child in the portrait was not suitable for the name Cong’er. Why would he give him this name? However, he was not like this when he was young. How could he understand his decision back then?
“Change your clothes.” The Queen brought the clothes over.
!!
The Prince Consort raised his hand and changed his clothes.
The Queen Manor’s family attended the banquet in the palace, and the Helian Manor also began their own family banquet.
Madam Li and her sons from the West Manor were also invited. After all, they lived under the same roof. It was their cousin-in-law’s birthday, so even if they weren’t invited, they had to bring congratulatory gifts. Helian Feng returned to the West City camp, and Madam Li and her two youngest sons came to congratulate them.
Now, Madam Li no longer had the guts to be arrogant in the East Manor. Her husband was gone, and her father-in-law had been sent to the villa to wait for his death. Every day, she wished she could tuck her tail between her legs and be human.
As for the Helian brothers, they were still young and impetuous. When they were dragged to the East Manor by Madam Li, they were still extremely unwilling. They said that the Emperor had originally invited the Helian family to the palace to attend the banquet. For some reason, Uncle did not go to the palace banquet but insisted on staying to celebrate the birthday of a country bumpkin. Was that woman very impressive? Was she even better than the Little Princess?
The three of them entered the East Manor with generous gifts.
The banquet was placed in a pavilion by the pond. The scenery was pleasant, and the moonlight was beautiful. A stage was set up in the middle of the lake, and they invited the most famous troupe in the Capital to perform a big show.
The people from the East Manor had long sat down in the pavilion. Other than a few masters of the East Manor, there was also Old Cui and Grandma. Grandma did not listen to opera often, but Old Cui had heard a lot, so Old Cui was patient and told him everything from the beginning to the end.
On the Old Madam’s left sat Helian Beiming and Yan Jiuchao, while on her right were Madam Jiang and Yu Shaoqing. The few little black eggs couldn’t sit still and ran around the pavilion. Even the opera couldn’t suppress the three of them laughing like pigs.
Madam Li was suddenly in a daze. Was this still the East Manor she remembered? She had married over for so many years and had entered the East Manor countless times. Each time, it was colder than the last. After Madam Tan and Helian Sheng were expelled from the family, Helian Beiming no longer had a smile on his face. The Old Madam was crazy and would be woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night.
When did this family start to come back to life?
“Hahahahaha…” The old madam laughed.
From Madam Li’s angle, she couldn’t tell what the Old Madam was laughing about, but she could see that not only was the Old Madam laughing, but Helian Beiming was also laughing so hard that his mouth couldn’t close.
“Aren’t they just a few brats? What’s so funny?” Helian Cheng muttered.
Madam Li came back to her senses and looked at the little black eggs in the pavilion that had not stopped for a moment. They were indeed very likable children. Why did the East Manor suddenly become prosperous?
Madam Li composed herself and walked forward with her sons to congratulate Madam Jiang. Why didn’t she look rustic at all? On the contrary, she was so beautiful that she looked otherworldly.
Madam Li didn’t dare to look at her anymore and only secretly took a few glances. However, Madam Li felt that even the little Princess in the palace wasn’t as beautiful as her cousin-in-law. But then again, her cousin-in-law’s face looked a little familiar.
Madam Li looked at Yu Wan, who was seriously listening to the show. That’s right, compared to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, these two were more like biological mother and daughter.
However, Madam Li did not think too much about it. After being husband and wife for a long time, they would have similar looks. What was wrong with a daughter-in-law looking like her mother-in-law?
It was mainly because Madam Li could not even protect herself. She no longer dared to interfere with the matters of the East Manor and did not even dare to think about it. She sincerely came to congratulate Madam Jiang. Old Madam did not make things difficult for her and invited the three of them to sit down.
Then, everyone began to send congratulatory gifts to Madam Jiang.
The Old Madam was especially generous. She arranged most of the congratulatory gifts in the garden, stunning Madam Li. This was only her birthday, but the Old Madam wished she could empty the storeroom. Back then, even when Madam Tan was her daughter-in-law, she didn’t have such divine treatment, right?
How could Madam Li know that Old Madam felt sorry for her youngest son and daughter-in-law who had been wandering outside for so many years and wanted to make up for what she owed them? At her age, most of her body had already stepped into the yellow soil. Who knew how many more days she could dote on them?
Helian Beiming did not often give gifts to people, and he did not know what his sister-in-law liked. However, he heard from his brother that his sister-in-law was originally a young lady from a noble family and was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he chose a set of four treasures and sent it to his sister-in-law.
Yu Shaoqing had given her jade carvings. He had personally chosen the jade and spent a month carving it day and night. Finally, he had carved a lifelike Madam Jiang. Everyone looked at the indescribably beautiful white jade statue and felt that the Jade Guanyin was only so-so.
Yu Wan hugged her husband’s arm. “So my mother is so beautiful in my father’s eyes.” Hurry up and say it. I’m beautiful in your eyes too!
Yan Jiuchao groaned and said in disbelief, “So why are you so ugly?”
Yu Wan, who had been shot ten thousand times in her heart: “…!!”
… .
Yu Wan also gave her mother a gift. It was rouge bought from the shop. Yu Wan wanted to say that this was the present bought by her and Yan Jiuchao, but Yan Jiuchao silently took out the gift he had prepared.
The dumbfounded Yu Wan : “…”
Wasn’t this guy reading comics all day? When did he run out to buy a birthday gift for her mother?! And from the way her mother was hugging his present tightly, she seemed to like it very much. More than her rouge! Yu Wan pouted. Was she still their biological daughter?
Madam Jiang received gifts from the entire family. Some came from her mother-in-law, some from the children, and some from her husband and brother-in-law. But she did not receive any from her parents.
Children who were abandoned by their families when they were born had never received their parents’ blessings.
In Nanzhao’s palace, the palace banquet organized for the Queen had also officially begun. Strictly speaking, this could be considered a family banquet. However, the people who came to attend were all relatives of the royal family. All of them had powerful backgrounds and the banquet was also huge. Just the path to the banquet was paved with red silk for three miles.
In the hall, the Emperor and Empress saw their beloved daughter. She was wearing a bright yellow palace dress and walking with golden shoes. Under everyone’s gazes, she walked over dignifiedly, like a phoenix that had been flapping its wings.
She was born from the Empress’ stomach. Not only did she have a noble background, but she also had peerless beauty. What was even more precious was that she was the lucky star of Nanzhao. With her around, there was no need to worry that the luck of Nanzhao would run out.
The Emperor and Empress watched lovingly as their daughter walked towards them.
The Emperor had not thought of the child he had exiled for a long time. That child was not his and the Empress’s child. He did not like her to begin with, let alone a jinx who would bring disaster to Nanzhao. All his love was given to his little Princess.
This was the child he was proud of. The Gu God also blessed her and let her obtain the holy artifact.
The Queen walked up to her father and mother and bowed respectfully. The Emperor dotingly helped her up and put on the phoenix crown he had personally chosen for his daughter with the Empress. This was the Emperor and Empress’s greatest blessing.
All the royal relatives stood up. “May Your Highness live a long life and live a thousand years!”
The Queen’s eyes were filled with tears. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a pain in her head. She took a deep breath and touched the phoenix crown.
Perhaps it was because of the phoenix crown, the Queen thought. After all, anyone in the world could harm her, but her father and mother would not. They were the ones who gave her the phoenix crown, so they would not tamper with it.
The Queen began to give her speech. Everyone looked at her without blinking. She was already used to such a scene and was not nervous at all. She raised her elegant smile and opened her mouth, but she could not control the crowing of a chicken. “Cluck cluck—”
