When the royal family and the group arrived at the palace gate, many royal relatives and dignitaries had already arrived.

When Prince Ping got off the carriage, someone smiled and greeted him. Prince Ping walked over, and Xiao Yechen followed closely behind him, looking like a filial son.

Parents seem to have a common problem, that is, when meeting relatives and friends, they can't help but show off their children.

Prince Ping is not exempt from vulgarity. Whenever he meets a familiar person, he will introduce Xiao Yechen.

Xiao Yechen also came up and immediately called "uncle and uncle" affectionately.

From a distance, the two of them can be described as a loving father and a filial son.

"Would you like to go over and express your filial piety?" Daohua got off the carriage, looked at this scene, and couldn't help but smile and asked Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang glanced sideways at the rice flowers and snorted coldly: "Only people without skills will study these vain things all day long." As he said that, he glanced at Xiao Yechen with disdain.

"It's no wonder that I look down on him. He is the prince's son after all. Look at the way he is rushing to please. It's really embarrassing and shameful!"

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yechen and felt that he was acting a little too deliberately, as if he was afraid that others would not see how close he was to Prince Heping.

Xiao Yeyang: "Let's go, let's go and pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Huang first."

Daohua quickly grabbed him and said, "Goodbye, we came together with our father. We left abruptly first, so that everyone present could see it. I don't know what words will be heard after that, so let's wait for everyone to leave together."

”

At this moment, the carriage from Duke Wei's mansion arrived.

Luo Qiong, who had been standing next to Princess Ma pretending to be a fool, saw her mother-in-law's family and immediately ran over quickly.

Princess Ma stood still, waiting for the female relatives of Duke Wei to come over and give her a gift.

"Father, mother, elder brother and sister-in-law."

Mrs. Wei Guogong grabbed Luo Qiong's hand with a look of distress on her face: "Qiong'er, why have you lost so much weight, but your life in the palace is not going well?"

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Luo Qiong's face, she shook her head and said, "Mom, the child is fine."

Luo Honghao frowned: "Little sister, but Xiao Yechen is not good to you?"

Luo Qiong glanced at Xiao Yechen, who was just chatting with everyone and didn't notice the arrival of his parents at all. He didn't want his family to worry, so he said lightly: "No, he is very good to me."

Mrs. Wei Guogong glanced at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang: "But they made you angry?"

Luo Qiong laughed: "Ping Xitang fired alone. I usually don't have the opportunity to contact them. How can they make me angry?" Of course, being dragged out from time to time for comparison is another story.

Luo Honghao's wife Shen said: "Is that the princess?"

This time, Luo Qiong stopped talking.

Mrs. Wei Guogong also fell silent. The Luo family knew that Princess Ma set rules for her daughter the day after she married into the palace.

But there is nothing they can do about it.

It is only natural for a mother-in-law to set rules for her daughter-in-law. As long as it is not too excessive, even the mother-in-law's family cannot say anything.

Seeing that the eyes of her pampered and grown-up daughter no longer had the sparkling look in her boudoir, Mrs. Wei Guogong took a deep breath and pulled Luo Qiong towards Princess Ma. This time she would talk to Princess Ma properly no matter what.<

/p>

It's a pity that after just a few euphemistic words, Princess Ma defeated Mrs. Wei Guogong and was helpless by saying that Luo Qiong had been in the family for three years but had nothing to show for it.

The conversation between Princess Ma and the Luo family was not pleasant, and Xiao Yechen was not very happy either.

Without him, he wanted to get acquainted with Master Ge, the admiral of the Nanyang Navy who was recalled to Beijing by the emperor, but his father did not introduce him to him. Instead, he called Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang, who had always been at odds with his father, actually walked over obediently this time.

Looking at the three people chatting happily, Xiao Yechen felt that his face was burning. He didn't need to look up to see the strange eyes of the people around him.

For nobles with little power, my father is willing to introduce him to him. However, for someone as high and powerful as Mr. Ge, my father's first thought is Xiao Yeyang, and he has no intention of letting him make friends.

Regarding the palace lantern, he could still comfort himself by saying that it was the emperor's uncle's intention, but what about now?

Duke Wei Guo and Luo Honghao were also watching this scene, with both father and son frowning.

"Father, we have harmed my sister! Why Prince Ping's favorite son is Xiao Yechen, and why the heir to the prince's title is Xiao Yechen, these must be spread by Princess Ma and Xiao Yechen to confuse outsiders."

Luo Honghao said with gritted teeth.

Duke Wei also felt extremely regretful, pursed his lips and entered the palace gate without saying a word.

Here, after chatting with Mr. Ge for a while, Xiao Yeyang returned to Daohua and followed Prince Ping into the palace.

"How come my father still knows people from the navy?" Daohua looked curious, "It seems that the two of them are quite familiar with each other."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "When my father was young, he was the most handsome man in the capital. Do you know who is second?"

Daohua: "Master Ge?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Yes, both of them like to eat, drink and have fun, so they get along very well. However, my father is lucky and has a brother who is the emperor. He can continue to eat, drink and have fun all his life."

"Master Ge's life was in danger. He passed away due to illness just after his prime. He had to take over the heavy responsibilities of the Ge family. This man is also a man who dares to fight and fight hard. Otherwise, he would not be able to lead

Nanyang Navy."

"Didn't I tell you before that Uncle Huang wants to expand the naval force? This time he is recruited for this purpose. When he is free, I will have to call your fourth brother and pay him a visit."

"Oh."

......

The New Year's Eve banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Queen Mother had already come and sat here. In this way, everyone did not need to make an extra trip to the Cining Palace.

This time, the Queen Mother did not cause trouble for Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, but she praised Luo Qiong and Xiao Yechen a lot during the conversation, looking even more satisfied with them.

Xiao Yeyang and Daohua paid no attention to this. After bowing, they stepped back and sat down in their seats.

The seats for the banquet have been arranged long ago. Xiao Yeyang and Daohua's seats are very close to the front. No matter how much the Queen Mother praises Xiao Yechen, it can't change the Emperor's love for Xiao Yeyang.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The people present did not want to offend the Queen Mother, so they casually echoed a few words, and then changed the subject with a smile.

The Jiang family also attended the banquet this time. Compared with the arrogance of the past, the Jiang family is now much more low-key.

The delicacies at the state banquet made people drool, but by the time the emperor and his ministers came and went singing their praises, the dishes were almost cold.

Daohua greedily tasted a few things, and soon she silently put down her chopsticks.

In the coldest month of winter, even if the charcoal basin is burning in the palace, a thin layer of grease will float on the dishes.

Xiao Yeyang: "Are you hungry?"

Daohua shook her head: "No, I just want to eat it."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "We can go back after the fireworks are set off in Zishi, and you can eat as much as you want."

Daohua said "hmm" and looked at the people in the hall with a waning interest as they exchanged cups.

When it was almost time, everyone gathered around the emperor and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony and went to the tower.

At this time, people from three floors inside and three floors outside had gathered outside the imperial city, all waiting to see the fireworks set off in the palace.

As soon as midnight arrives, brilliant fireworks begin to explode above the palace.

Listening to the cheers of the people outside the imperial city, the emperor couldn't help but smile.

Accidents are prone to occur in crowded places, and this is even more true in the Imperial City, a place full of competing interests and intrigues.

Just when everyone was surrounding the emperor and going downstairs, someone didn't know who pushed the nanny next to the fourth prince's concubine. In an instant, the little boy who was just over three years old in the nanny's hands was thrown down the stairs.

"Ah~"

Screams sounded one after another.

Because Xiao Yeyang was asked by the emperor to accompany him, Daohua stayed alone with the female relatives. By coincidence, the fourth prince and concubine stood next to her.

Between the sparks of calcium carbide, Daohua jumped down.

Because I jumped in time, I quickly caught the falling child.

The moment the child hugged her, Daohua whipped out her whip.

The whip wrapped around the fence of the city wall. Daohua and the child did not fall any further and hung on the city wall swaying.

"Yiyi!"

"Reng'er!"

Two figures rushed out at the same time.

"Save people, save people quickly!"

The emperor was also startled and quickly ordered the guards to rescue people.

Before the guards could take action, Xiao Yeyang rescued Daohua and the child from the city wall.

"Are you injured anywhere?"

Xiao Yeyang handed the little boy in Daohua's hands to the fourth prince who rushed down from the tower, and then eagerly checked her body.
