The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 218 Calling You Father-in-Law!

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the gap in the curtains and falls on the bed.

Shangguan Ziling slowly woke up in Mo Shaoxie's arms. She moved her body slightly, trying to break free from Mo Shaoxie's restraints, but found herself being held tightly by him.

Mo Shaoxie's eyes appeared particularly bright in the morning light. He lowered his head and looked at Shangguan Ziling with a smile on his face, his eyes flashing with love and doting.

His smile made Shangguan Ziling feel a little uncomfortable. She glared at him, trying to express her dissatisfaction.

"You damn man, you are so shameless and you keep asking for too much." Shangguan Ziling said unhappily, with a hint of coquettishness and helplessness in her tone.

Mo Shaoxie just smiled after hearing this, his smile revealed a kind of confidence and calmness. "Ling'er, didn't you say I was handsome last night? Why do you become a dead man today?" He teased.

"Hmph! You forced me to say that last night, you bastard!" Shangguan Ziling muttered.

Shangguan Ziling felt sore all over and didn't want to get up at all. She turned over and tried to find a comfortable position, but the discomfort made her feel a little irritable.

Mo Shaoxie noticed her discomfort, and he said softly, "It's still early, Ling'er, sleep a little longer." His voice was gentle and low, making people feel at ease and relaxed.

As he spoke, he gently stretched out his hand and began to massage her waist. His technique was skillful and powerful, and his fingers seemed to have magic power, able to dispel the soreness and fatigue in her body.

Shangguan Ziling felt a warm current coming from her waist, gradually spreading to her whole body. Her body gradually relaxed, and the pain gradually eased.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed Mo Shaoxie's massage, feeling as if she was in a warm embrace.

Mo Shaoxie's massage continued for a while until Shangguan Ziling's body was completely relaxed. He gently withdrew his hand and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with love and pampering.

Half an hour later, the two got up, washed up, and had breakfast. When they left the Regent's Palace, the carriage was already ready, and there were ten carriages behind them, all loaded with gifts.

Shangguan Ziling looked at the carriages behind and couldn't help but sigh, "So many?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion on her face.

Mo Shaoxie smiled faintly and explained: "Today, I am going back home, so I naturally have to prepare more gifts to show my filial piety. This king will not let anyone gossip."

The housekeeper said at the side: "Princess, when you return home, the more gifts you bring, the better! It shows that the prince values ​​you, and the rumors outside will be dispelled."

When Shangguan Ziling heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

The carriage slowly drove out of the Regent's Palace, followed by a neat motorcade. They drove along the street, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Shangguan Ziling sat in the carriage, looking out the window at the people talking about what they saw.

People were talking about it in the street. They looked up at the gorgeous carriage, which was inlaid with exquisite gems and sparkled with dazzling light.

Red silk ribbons embroidered with golden dragon patterns were hung on both sides of the carriage, making it look particularly solemn and majestic.

"Look, that's the Regent's carriage!" someone exclaimed.

"This is heading towards the Prime Minister's Residence! Today is the day when the Regent Princess returns home." Another person added.

The people were discussing the relationship between the Regent and the Princess Regent. Some envied the Princess Regent's good fortune, while others were dissatisfied with the Regent's favor.

"Oh my God! Who said that the Regent is not interested in women? Look, he obviously dotes on his princess!" said a woman.

"That's right. Look at the show. It's the first of its kind in the capital! I'm so envious!" another person echoed.

"Hmph! There's no way the Regent would accompany his princess back home. Shangguan Ziling must be going back alone. She was afraid of being laughed at, so she had so many carriages driven to make things look more grand." A woman said disdainfully.

The woman was Jun Wanting. She stared at the carriage with resentment. She had come out of the palace today to see Shangguan Ziling returning home alone. Who would have thought that the ceremony would be so grand? She couldn't help feeling jealous.

"Ouch! Don't say the grapes are sour just because you can't eat them." another person retorted.

Jun Wanting's face looked ugly and she stomped her feet. These unruly people were so ignorant and hateful!

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the people's discussions gradually faded away. Shangguan Ziling sat in the carriage, listening to the discussions outside, feeling a little helpless in her heart. People in ancient times were also so gossipy!

The carriage slowly drove into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and stopped in the spacious courtyard. Mo Shaoxie helped Shangguan Ziling get off the carriage.

At the gate of Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Dong and Shangguan Zirun had been waiting for a long time. They were dressed in luxurious clothes, with smiles of joy and pride on their faces.

Seeing Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling get off the carriage, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."

Mo Shaoxie waved his hand calmly and said, "No need to be polite."

Shangguan Ziling walked forward, took Shangguan Dong's arm, and said, "Dad, we're family now, no need to be polite." Her voice was full of kindness and warmth, making people feel the warmth and happiness of a family.

Shangguan Dong looked at her with a smile and said, "Well, etiquette cannot be abolished. Child, you are already married, why are you still the same as when you were a child?" His words were full of pampering and care, which made people feel the depth and weight of a father's love.

Shangguan Zirun also stepped forward and said to Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling: "My Lord, Princess, please..."

A group of people walked into the lobby. Beichen Xue sat in the main seat and looked out. When she saw Shangguan Ziling, a warm smile immediately broke out on her face.

Shangguan Ziling was filled with excitement and joy when she saw her mother. She ran over quickly and threw herself into Beichen Xue's arms, calling out affectionately, "Mother..."

Beichen Xue felt a warm current in her heart when she heard her daughter's call. She hugged Shangguan Ziling tightly, tears flashing in her eyes. She stroked her daughter's hair and said softly, "Ziling, my dear daughter, how old are you and you still act like a spoiled child with your mother?"

Shangguan Dong stood at the back, watching this scene, feeling a little embarrassed. He coughed and said to Mo Shaoxie, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Zi Ling has never enjoyed maternal love since she was a child. Now that her mother is back, she is so rude."

Mo Shaoxie smiled slightly and said, "Ling'er is fine, father-in-law, there is no need to be like this."

Shangguan Dong was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Mo Shaoxie had already walked over. He looked at his son Shangguan Zirun who was standing beside him, "What did you hear the Regent King call you father just now?"

Shangguan Zirun said: "He called you father-in-law! Father, why are you so excited? He married my sister, so it's only natural for him to call you father-in-law!"

"That being said, he..."

"All right, father, come in!"

Shangguan Dong nodded and entered the lobby.
