The Spring Festival is the second day of New Year's Eve. According to the rules, the Shen family and the Zhong family have to get together for a reunion dinner.

Several uncles and uncles from the Shen family who were away from home were back, and the house was very lively. Even Shen Yao, who was usually shy, showed up to talk to the uncles.

But Shen Xian fell ill.

When she came back last night, she covered herself in the quilt. After sleeping all night, her voice was hoarse and her body was very hot when she woke up. She was still drowsy when Shen Yuanhe came to see her.

Probably because she heard that Shen Xian was ill, Ye Min came to visit with her sister.

After seeing Shen Xian, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "What on earth do you think is going on with these children? My Mingyue came back yesterday and was confused. This morning she got angry with me when I called her."

Ye Zhen: "Your Mingyue is going to marry His Highness the Crown Prince. I guess I didn't realize it for a while."

After saying that, he pointed out: "It's not like my Ruan Ruan. But now I don't know what she is thinking. In two years, she will become an old girl."

"How can it be possible? With Ruan Ruan's appearance and talent, everyone in the capital is rushing to get her."

Ye Min said and sat on the bed, patted the quilt and asked Shen Xian: "How about I introduce you to my aunt? My family will join the Ministry of War next year. Although this officer is young, after all, he is also the young prince of my Yongyi House. , Auntie will not treat you badly."

Ye Zhen felt something was wrong after listening to half of it, but she remained silent and just looked at Shen Xian quietly. The latter couldn't really open her eyes, and her voice was weak and hoarse: "Aunt, my cousin and I are only brother and sister."

Ye Min wanted to say more, but Ye Zhen suddenly came up and interrupted: "Okay, okay, you are looking for your daughter-in-law and you have found me."

"Doesn't this mean that the wealth will not flow to outsiders?"

"Okay, Ruan Ruan needs to take medicine. I'll come find you after I feed her."

After sending Ye Min away, Shen Xian immediately closed her eyes again and covered her head with the quilt, as if this could isolate everything from the outside world.

Ye Zhen glanced at the medicine bowl brought by Xiang Nong, but instead of taking it, she sat on Shen Xian's bed.

"Ruan Ruan, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

In fact, no one cared about her, and Shen Xian didn't cry. But that was her mother. How could her mother not notice her emotional changes?

Shen Xian showed a pair of red eyes. Ye Zhen felt sorry for her daughter. She stroked the top of her head deeply and straightened her messy hair: "Tell mother what happened, okay? Did someone bully you? Or did you encounter someone?" What's the problem?"

Shen Xian rubbed her head into Ye Zhen's arms, like a drowning person floating on the water, and finally found a piece of driftwood, on which she could temporarily find some military records.

But Shen Xian couldn't say it, she bit her lip and sobbed harder, hugging Ye Zhen tightly.

Ye Zhen had no choice but to pat her on the back and said: "It's a good thing that you have grown up and have your own worries, but Ruan Ruan, your parents will always be your backers. If anything happens to you, don't If a person tries to be strong, no matter how bad your parents are, they will never let you be bullied."

"Are you excited yesterday when you saw Ming Yue getting married? In fact, if you really don't want to get married, it doesn't matter. Our family can still support you more than enough. Even if we still have a brother to accompany you in a hundred years, your parents will feel at ease."

"But when I think about you having no one to accompany you to your old age, my heart still feels bad. Ruan Ruan, my mother still wants to see Ruan Ruan happy when she gets old."

Shen Xian listened to these words, and her already fragile heart suddenly burst into tears. She hugged Ye Zhen tightly and cried loudly. She said for a long time: "Mom, I...I did something wrong and was hated by others. Mom, , what should I do to make him not hate me?"

"There are so many people in this world, how can we be liked by everyone? If you make a mistake, then correct it, and we will not do it again in the future."

Shen Xian sniffed and said nothing.

Ye Zhen patted her and said with a smile: "It's okay, mother is here, what's the problem?"

Picking up the medicine bowl: "Let's take the medicine first. We can't just spend the New Year on the hospital bed. Get well soon. Mom will find some young talents for you. You can take a look at them."

"Didn't you just say that it's okay for me to get married without getting married?"

Ye Zhen blinked: "Did Mom ever say that? That's probably just a lie. Don't believe it yet."

Shen Xian: "..."

-

The royal family doesn't take this kind of reunion holiday very seriously. Everyone knows that they don't have any good intentions. Let alone reunion, they want to fight to the death.

Especially Shi Ling, who simply stopped going to the palace these days and came to accompany him for a long time. Yanyuan looked at the decoration of the palace with disgust and shuddered.

"I said, Uncle Emperor, it's already the Chinese New Year, but you don't want to put up a couplet with the word "Fu" on it. There are even couplets at the door of the prison, but you don't even have a red flower on your house."

After Shi Yanyuan finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something as he sat down.

Turning around: "Why do I remember that there were many flowers and grasses in the imperial uncle's house before, but why are they gone? Those are all rare and rare flowers, and they are very valuable. You won't throw them away, right?"

Shi Ling didn't raise his head, as if he didn't hear what he said.

But after a while, he said: "The property has returned to its original owner."

Shi Yanyuan immediately grasped the point: "What? We had a quarrel?"

Shi Ling rolled his eyes at him.

"You'd better care more about yourself."

"What's wrong with me?"

Shi Ling put down the book that he couldn't read at all and stared at him: "Your marriage is in March, and you still have more than a month to prepare."

Shi Yanyuan's face froze.

"I don't have anything to do with it. It's just that I see that Mingyue doesn't seem happy. She has always been happy and free. Now that she is pushed into this position, I feel sorry for her."

Shi Ling: "But you need her, you must marry her."

In the entire Dacheng, apart from the Forbidden Army and the Xiao family, the person with the most military power is the Yongyi Marquis Mansion. Moreover, Zhong Mingqi will join the Ministry of War in his later years. With the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, he will have half of the Dacheng Army.

Shi Ling said with a cold face: "Since she was born in the Yongyi Hou Mansion and enjoyed a wealth that ordinary people cannot enjoy, she should have done something to live a life of fine clothing and fine food."

Shi Yanyuan did not respond. He had known since he was a child that the Tian family's words were irreversible and that he was the prince and must be respected. However, every time he saw Zhong Mingyue's face full of joy, anger and sorrow, he couldn't help but want to follow her.

Now he has become an accomplice in obliterating Zhong Mingyue's freedom.

He took a deep breath: "She went to the Shen family for a reunion dinner today. I was still hesitant about whether to go and have a look. Would you like to come with me, uncle?"

"...I won't go."

Shi Ling was originally a cold and distant person, so it was only reasonable for him to refuse.

So Shi Yanyuan didn't think much about it, so he left Prince Xuan's Mansion and went straight to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

However, when he first entered the Dingguo Palace, someone followed him behind him.

Ah Feng glanced at his master several times and couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you going to see Miss Shen Er? I heard that she is sick and didn't even leave the yard today."

Shi Ling frowned.

Thinking of her standing in the snow for so long yesterday, it would be strange not to get sick.

But why should I think about her?

He should have said coolly that he deserved it, then turned around and left, but when he stood on the street corner, he knew that he couldn't do it.

He really fell in love with Shen Xian.
