After dressing up as the heroine of a sadistic novel, I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself em

The two of them were stunned for a moment almost at the same time, as if they didn't know they had met by such a coincidence.

Just now, Gui Shang thought it was the young marquis who had come over. Who would have thought that it was not the young marquis who came over, but the famous regent who was the god of war in the imperial capital.

Now everyone had to stand up from their positions to salute him. Although Gui Shang seemed casual on weekdays, he would not let his guard down easily at critical moments.

What's more, this person is worthy of her worship.

*
After the salute, everyone returned to their seats, very politely, and the whispers they had heard before were gone.

One can imagine how high the regent's status is in the imperial capital and how respected he is.

Soon, after the arrival of the Prince Regent, the entire banquet reached its climax. The second young lady was wearing an embroidered hairdress and was led up to the stage by the wet nurse.

Various complicated and rigorous procedures followed. The second lady's mother personally combed her hair into a new bun, marking the completion of the ceremony for the second lady and her hairdo.

A woman's haircut ceremony and a man's crowning ceremony represent a person's official adulthood. After adulthood, marriages and other related matters will come one by one. Unless it is a baby marriage that has been arranged by the two families since childhood, it usually takes place during the woman's hairpin ceremony. The matchmaker will come to talk to you the next day.

Gui Shang doesn't want to say anything about this. Anyway, she is herself and they are them. She will not influence other people's affairs, and others should not even think of interfering in her own affairs.

Among the people in the Marquis Mansion, Gui Shang did not see the young Marquis.

Just as everyone was giving gifts and blessings, and the hairpin ceremony was coming to an end, suddenly there were many more birds in the sky.

Those birds are very beautiful and their chirps are very nice. They all gathered around today's protagonist, holding beautiful flowers in their mouths.

The second lady looked at the birds surrounding her with great surprise, and happily stretched out her hand to pick up one of them.

The bird nestled obediently in the palm of her hand, rubbed her hand with its round and fluffy head, and placed the little flower in its mouth into the palm of her hand.

Before leaving, the little bird reluctantly glanced at the second lady, but in the end it followed its brothers and sisters and flew away.

The second young lady also waved to the flock of birds flying away, with a relaxed smile on her face.

As the bird left, the protagonist who just "borrowed the bird to offer to the Buddha" came to the second lady, smiling wantonly, with the unique vitality of a young man, and holding a big box in his hand.

He handed the box to the second sister, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Second sister, this is the first gift I gave you just now from your brother. Do you like it?"

The woman who was called second sister by the young marquis nodded excitedly, "This is the best gift I have received today. Thank you Axi, I am so happy!"

Cen Li handed over the second gift he had prepared for his second sister, feeling secretly relieved in his heart.

Hurrying slowly, I finally caught up. Fortunately, the second sister liked it, so the hard work was probably not in vain.

The second lady of the Hou Mansion handed the box to her personal maid and asked her to put it away. Soon, the food was served, the wine was drunk, and the conversation was full of joy.

Most of the people were talking about the birds just now. There are obedient birds, but it is rare to see such obedient birds and do all kinds of tricks.

You must know that such a scene requires a lot of cost and manpower. Few people would choose to do this thanklessly, but the young Marquis did just that. How come it doesn't cause heated discussions?

In addition to talking about these, everyone occasionally mentioned the recent events in the imperial capital. The little princess took the opportunity to come to Gui Shang and sit at the table with her.Gui Shang glanced at her and didn't care why the little princess was here. He just took a closer look at the little marquis. He had to say that the man he liked was pretty good-looking.

He is exactly the same age as the original person, and they have been playmates together since childhood. He has a good family background, is good-looking, and is good at coaxing girls. It is not surprising that the original person likes him.

It happened that the little Marquis Cen Li also saw Gui Shang's figure. He trotted to Gui Shang's table. When Gui Shang looked over, he even subconsciously tidied up his hair that was a little messy. He smiled widely and left. She waved at her from about a meter or two away.

"Sister Shang! It's me, I'm Cen Li! We played together when we were kids. Do you still remember me?"

Judging from the appearance of the young marquis, he seems to care a little bit about the original person and is different. If the old fox hadn't intervened, maybe it would be possible for the two of them to...

But it's too late to say anything now, the original person has already left.

After thinking about something in her mind for only a moment, she gently shook her head in the direction of Cen Li.

Cen Li was stunned on the spot. He went directly to Gui Shang and said in a anxious tone, "Sister Shang, I am Brother Xi. You have forgotten me after only two years of not seeing each other?"

This was said with great resentment, and it sounded very unhappy.

Gui Shang looked up at him again, his eyes were unfamiliar, "I really can't remember clearly."

But then again, this young Marquis has a simple mind and can tell what is on his mind at a glance.

But my sister and brother were only born a month or two after her.

The young Marquis was really sad now. He walked back to his seat languidly, and from time to time he would look in the direction of Gui Shang. His eager look made people feel distressed.

His married eldest sister was the first to notice something was wrong with Cen Li. She mouthed silently and asked: What's wrong?
Cen Li looked at his eldest sister, sat next to her aggrievedly, and whispered: "Sister, Sister Shang has forgotten me."

Seeing the depressed and unhappy look on her only biological brother's face, she rubbed his soft hair and said, "Axi, Xiao Shang is still young, so it's normal for him to not be able to remember..."

A day passed like this, and before returning to Shang, Cen Li, who had been struggling for almost a day, stopped her loudly, "Sister Shang, it doesn't matter if you don't remember me, we can get to know each other again!"

"My name is Cen Li, Cen from Master Cen, Li from Zhou Li!"

At this moment, everyone was almost gone, and the little princess had already left.

After hearing what the young marquis said, Gui Shang stepped onto the carriage for a moment, but quickly stepped on the small wooden stool and got on the carriage.

Wei Changying lowered the curtain above and left quickly.

Cen Li looked at the back of the carriage for a long, long time...

By the time I returned home from business, it was already quite late.

But it was not completely dark at that time. After Gui Shang finished the dinner served by his servants, he asked people to prepare things for taking a bath.

There happens to be a hot spring behind this yard. It just so happens that after a long day of traveling and traveling, my body and mind are tired, so I can go there and take a bath.
