Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 346 Flower Banquet

Duke Sheng held her in his arms as if she were a treasure.

The Duke's wife standing by did not speak.

Because she also thinks Xianxian is very powerful.

I said I have a photographic memory, but I just find it troublesome.

I would rather learn along.

It’s better to say that you can do it from the beginning.

Everyone felt that they should be jealous of Sheng Minghua.

Then I must be more dazzling than Sheng Minghua.

"Okay, okay, you are really my good daughter."

Duke Sheng held Xianxian in his arms and looked at the Duke's wife.

"Ma'am, why didn't you notice Wanwan's difference earlier?"

How to find out?

Her mind was entirely on Sheng Minghua and her youngest son.

The Duke's wife gave birth to three children in total.

The eldest daughter was named Sheng Minghua.

The youngest son was named Shengshitang.

The second daughter is Sheng Wan.

Because we carry memories with us since birth.

Xianxian certainly understood the origin of this name.

Grand evening.

It's just because I was born at night.

Hence the name.

It's really ironic.

They are both children of their father and mother.

But my name is just Sheng Wan.

Very perfunctory.

Xianxian put her arms around Duke Sheng's neck and could clearly feel his surprise.

"Father, mother said today that as long as my daughter can recite the Four Books and Five Classics, she will allow her daughter to go out and play in the future, and she will no longer control me."

"Father, does this still count?"

Naturally, Duke Sheng’s words are the most influential in the Duke’s Mansion.

Even the wife of a duke.

We also have to listen to Duke Sheng's opinion.

Duke Sheng just looked at the Duke's wife.

"Did Madam promise Wanwan?"

"Yes, I have a promise."

"Well, Wanwan, you have been very good today. I will allow you to leave the house at will, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Duke Sheng put Xianxian on the ground.

Xianxian tilted her head with a curious look on her face.

"What are the conditions, father?"

"I will give you homework, and you need to complete my homework carefully, then I will allow you to go wherever you want."

"no problem."

"make a deal."

Seeing that Duke Sheng was paying too much attention to Xianxian.

The Duke's wife opened her mouth, but the maid beside her held her back.

Wait until Duke Sheng took Xianxian away.

Only then did she show some displeasure on her face.

"She knows a few things, but she shows off in front of the Duke. She is a little too arrogant."

"Huaer Club's things are never shown off. Wanwan is really too undisciplined."

"lady?"

The maid's voice was filled with surprise, "The Second Miss is also your daughter. As long as she shows up in front of the Duke, it will be a blessing for you. It's better than those concubines stealing the Duke's attention."

In recent years, illegitimate sons and daughters have been born one after another in the Duke's Mansion.

Xianxian has two half-sisters.

Others say it’s good to be the legal wife.

But the wife also has her own troubles.

The Duke's wife and Duke Sheng were just an ordinary couple from an aristocratic family.

The two of them are just a match made in heaven.

There is no extra emotional basis.

Therefore, after the Duke's wife gave birth to a legitimate son.

Duke Sheng couldn't wait to take a concubine.

But he did not show any special favor to his concubines.

It is better to let the wife of the Duke take good care of the concubines.

On the other side, Xianxian was taken away by Duke Sheng, who led her to the study in the front yard.

According to the rules, women are not allowed to enter the front yard without being summoned.

But Duke Sheng took Xianxian to read.

"Wanwan, would you like to accompany your father to read a book?"

He first placed Xianxian on the chair.

A pair of eyes sparkling in the air came forward holding a book.

"Read to your father."

The other person was sitting opposite her, looking forward to it, staring at Xianxian with shining eyes.

Waiting for her to read to her.

Who looks more like a child?

Xianxian feels like she is more like a toy.

But I opened the book and started reading anyway.

Maybe he was considering that Xianxian was a child.

Duke Sheng did not ask how long he should study.

It was stopped after only half an hour.

"Do you know all these words?"

Xianxian nodded.

"know."

"It's amazing, it's amazing, my daughter is actually a child prodigy, she's only six years old, but she can recognize so many words."

Sheng Guogong was holding the book in his hands and exclaiming in amazement.

Xianxian had already left the stool and asked, "Father, can I go back now?"

"Ah, sure. Wanwan, go back and rest first."

Today, Duke Sheng is more like someone who has obtained a new and exotic toy.

It will definitely take a few days to keep it fresh for a while.

But Xianxian didn't expect that he was so fresh and new that she was twelve years old.

Xianxian has grown taller now. She no longer has the gentle and graceful figure of Sheng Minghua, but is more slender and fragile like a willow swaying in the wind.

It’s probably because of entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Xianxian looks more like the Duke's wife and Duke Sheng.

But his eyebrows and eyes still retained the appearance of his original self.

But this face looks even cooler and more beautiful.

Twelve years old has not yet lost its childishness.

But I have already seen the beauty's form for the first time.

"Wanwan, look what I brought you? Your favorite book!"

Xianxian had just woken up and was dressing herself up when Duke Sheng ran in holding a book.

Thanks to the influence of Duke Sheng.

Today, Xianxian exudes a scholarly air.

He looks so cool, like someone in a painting.

Because of Xianxian's ability to remember everything she sees, Duke Sheng pays special attention to her and loves her very much.

Even Sheng Minghua and Sheng Shitang.

None of them holds a higher position in Duke Sheng’s heart than Xianxian.

But who told them that they can't read?

The Duke's wife expressed dissatisfaction and believed that Duke Sheng should treat everyone equally.

But Duke Sheng's words made her shut up.

When other children are able to finish their homework, then we can make it equal for them.

The Duke's wife remained silent.

The homework assigned by Duke Sheng is too abnormal.

That's not something kids of the same age should learn at all.

As Duke Sheng takes over Xianxian's life.

The Duke's wife simply stopped caring about anything.

If it were an ordinary child.

I'm afraid I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time.

It is a child's nature to miss his mother.

Unfortunately, Xianxian is not an ordinary child.

She didn't take the Duke's wife's pretended alienation to heart at all.

Xianxian took the book and started to read it, and finally began to make notes to answer questions.

Looking at the other party's skillful movements, Duke Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Wanwan, if you were a man, it would be easy for you to pass the imperial examination, and entering the officialdom would only be a blessing for the country."

"Father, are you rubbing salt into your daughter's wounds? You know clearly that your daughter cannot become a man."

Xianxian put down the book in her hand.

He looked nonchalant, as if he didn't care at all.

There is something called transformation, but Xianxian hates dressing up as a man the most.

I am a woman. If I really want to gain power, I might as well go to the palace and use some tricks, and then I can have a child and raise him/her.

Kill the emperor and become the empress dowager, and the world will belong to you.

Even if you enter the officialdom.

Doesn’t it also depend on the emperor’s mood?

I am a god who has experienced many tribulations.

You said we can't kill the emperor? Will he be attacked by the true dragon's luck?

I didn't let you do the killing yourself, so don't you know what "killing with a borrowed knife" means?

Duke Sheng looked a little embarrassed.

"That's all."

You know, the Duchess's wife had been hoping for a son.

Ever since I gave birth to a daughter, I have been neglected in every way.

Now he doesn't care about Xianxian's affairs at all.

Everything was left to Duke Sheng to handle.

The Duke's wife is partial to someone, and the entire Duke's Mansion knows it.

"The Queen will hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the harem in three days. You will go with your mother then. I will take you to the main courtyard for dinner today. Is that okay?"

Hundred Flowers Banquet?

Xianxian was not interested, but she couldn't avoid such an important occasion.

"it is good."

In the evening, the meal was already served in the main courtyard.

The family of five sat together to eat.

It's just that the whole atmosphere is a little too quiet.

All the dishes on the table were Sheng Minghua and Sheng Shitang’s favorites.

Xianxian let Danzhu serve her food, as if she didn't have much interest in the dishes.

Only Duke Sheng knew that these dishes were not what Xianxian liked.

For a moment, I just felt that the Duke's wife was too partial.

If you really mean it, just send someone to ask and add three or two dishes.

It can be seen that Xianxian is used to it, and Duke Sheng could only sigh secretly in his heart.

Sheng Minghua on the side looked at Xianxian from time to time.

She actually hasn't seen this sister very often.

Even if we meet on weekdays, we just say hello to each other.

"In three days, the Queen will hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet. You must follow me to attend the banquet."

"I have prepared clothes and jewelry for you in advance, so you can dress up nicely when you go."

Prepare in advance?

Xianxian frowned slightly and looked away.

Before she could ask.

Duke Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Wanwan know about this? Even if you want to make a new dress, you should send someone to measure the size. Otherwise, will the dress be wearable?"

The Duke's wife said nonchalantly, "Wanwan is already twelve years old. I think her figure is similar to Huaer's, so let's not waste time."

"Now that the dress is ready, why bother?"

Trouble on the left, trouble on the right.

You can tell it's biased just by looking at it.

Duke Sheng couldn't bear it any longer.

My sweet little cotton-padded jacket has to suffer in front of the Duke's wife.

"You don't want your dress anymore. I'll have someone choose a new dress and jewelry for Wanwan."

"If you, as a mother, don't care, then let me, as a father, care."

"Duke?"

The Duke's wife's face was full of disbelief.

I never thought that I would be criticized by Duke Sheng.

She shook the handkerchief vigorously and turned her face away, her tone even more unpleasant and cold.

"I gave birth to her and raised her. I have never treated her badly. Why does she have to suffer so badly?"

"She has so many complaints, but she really didn't bring them to me to express them, but had to express them in front of you?"

The implication was that Duke Sheng openly accused her.

It must be Xianxian who deliberately instigated this.

I didn't do anything.

But there is still a pot left.

Xianxian really felt that she was wronged.

But she didn't need to speak at all, someone would speak for her.

Duke Sheng stood up and sneered a few times.

"Madam is really confusing right and wrong, and she is even throwing dirty water on her own daughter."

These words are really harsh.

The Duke's wife's eyes were slightly red and filled with tears.

"what do you mean?"

"You know best what I mean. Stop making excuses for yourself. You just felt that you didn't get a son."

"After Wanwan was born, you didn't care much about her."

"Seeing me care about Wanwan all these years, you're starting to feel uncomfortable again."

"Is it difficult to admit that Wanwan is excellent?"

Duke Sheng pointed at the Duke's wife and continued, "You think that by deliberately ignoring Wanwan, you can make Wanwan feel uncomfortable and prove that your decision is correct."

"You don't think you are biased. You say you are impartial, but you never treat things equally."

Seeing that the couple was on the verge of a fight.

Sheng Minghua and Sheng Shitang on the side didn't dare to speak.

They had never seen their father so angry.

The Duchess felt embarrassed since the children were watching them.

Finally, Xianxian stepped forward to mediate.

"Father, mother is probably too busy, but they just don't have time for the moment. I don't feel sad at all."

She still had a faint smile on her face.

But when his eyes passed over the Duke's wife, it seemed as if he could see through her thoughts.

This made the Duke's wife feel very uncomfortable.

She did not ask anyone to measure Xianxian's size, it was indeed she who gave the order on purpose.

The tribulation one goes through is meant to cut off all emotions and love. Not only will it cut off family ties, but it will also cut off romantic ties.

What the Duke's wife did was exactly what he wanted.

Duke Sheng saw that Xianxian was still helping to speak.

He immediately dragged her out.

"Wanwan, your father will take you to buy clothes."

On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet during the three-day tour, Xianxian wore a light-colored long dress, and her jet-black hair was only embellished with a pearl hairpin.

The eyebrows are like distant mountains, dark without any touch.

She has a slim figure and a slender waist.

Seeing her dress, the Duke's wife didn't say anything, but everyone else was amazed.

She just stood there quietly, and when the breeze blew slowly, lifting her clothes, she looked indescribably graceful and elegant.

This is what happened at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

It is definitely something that attracts everyone's attention.

The Duke's wife withdrew her gaze calmly and said, "Get in the carriage."

A group of people entered the palace, and Xianxian walked behind Sheng Minghua, who was dressed gorgeously and elegantly.

She looked extremely simple and elegant.

I don't like dressing too complicatedly.

As long as you dress according to the regulations, isn't that fine?

Today is not so much a banquet of flowers.

It would be more accurate to say that it is to find princesses for the princes.

Otherwise, the Duke's wife wouldn't take it so seriously.

Xianxian was not very interested in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so she got permission from the Duke's wife in advance.

He hid in the corner with Danzhu.

"Second Miss, why don't you follow Madam? I heard that today we are going to select princesses for the princes."

"How can you miss such a good opportunity?"

Looking at Xianxian sitting quietly in the corner, Danzhu really didn't understand why she was so calm.

The other ladies were trying to get closer.

Only Xianxian ran to the side and had some free time.

Xianxian was fanning herself with a round fan, looking very calm.

"I'm not interested. If I have this much time, I might as well go out and relax, or ask my father to read me a few more books."

The second young lady is obviously only twelve years old.

But there is no feeling of being a child at all.

On the other side, the Duke's wife brought Sheng Minghua.

That was really brilliant.

These years have been under her deliberate management.

Sheng Minghua became famous throughout the capital.

She was even known as a famous virtuous woman.

In comparison, Xianxian is much inferior. The Duke's wife rarely mentions her second daughter.

Even if others asked her about it, she would just mention it casually.

Sheng Minghua was seen performing a graceful salute, her every move displaying the elegance and dignity of a lady from an aristocratic family.
