On the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, a very thick snow fell in the capital.
When Zhou Ling got up, he heard the housekeeper complaining outside that the door could not be opened at dawn.
He smiled and thought that it was like this a few days a year, so it was not surprising.
But soon, Gu Yan hurried to see him and said, "Master Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left the capital."
Zhou Ling's eyes changed and he asked: "When did it happen?"
Gu Yan sighed and said: "Last night, I left overnight, saying that I was going to deliver New Year's gifts to the eldest princess..."
What kind of thing is it? You don’t even bother to think about the excuse?
Concubine Hui had just died. It was said that she had contracted the plague, and even the Huilan Palace was burned down.
Princess Jinyang was sent out of the palace for isolation. If the prince leaves the capital at this time, isn't he afraid of rumors spreading?
Zhou Ling frowned, tightened his hands on the wheelchair, and asked, "What does palace mean?"
Gu Yandao: "The emperor summoned several ministers early in the morning, and no one knows what they discussed specifically. However, after the ministers left the palace, the emperor ordered Wang Lin to leave the capital immediately, and he must catch up with the prince before dark.
Escort the prince to the palace safely."
Zhou Ling was stunned. In this way, the outside world would not speculate that the prince left the palace because he was afraid of the plague, as if he was angry with the emperor.
Obviously, the emperor has made a compromise. Now as long as the prince comes back, no one in the civil and military dynasties dares to say a word.
"This drama about the deep love between father and son is so well sung." Zhou Ling said, with a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth.
He asked Gu Yan to push him to the door. It was still snowing outside. Under the red wall in the distance, the lingering wind was carrying snowflakes, and a pervasive coldness hit his face.
Suddenly, a figure came outside through the snow. It was Gu Zizhen, Gu Yan's son.
I saw him respectfully hand over a letter and then stood aside.
Zhou Ling said to Gu Yan, "It's so rare for me to come back. Let's have breakfast with him."
Gu Yan nodded slightly and left with his son.
Zhou Ling opened the envelope and the moment he saw the letter, his eyes suddenly changed and he almost crushed the letter to pieces.
When Gu Yan and his son came back, they saw Zhou Ling standing by the window, saying decisively: "Get ready, let's go to Jinling!"
…
Lishan Palace is located in Zunhua County, where green mountains stretch and green water surrounds the place. Under the cover of deep winter snow and mist, it is like a snow-capped mountain wonderland.
In the palace, the faint sound of children having a snowball fight could be heard.
In the dining room where guests were being entertained, the charcoal fire was burning brightly, the hanging pot was boiling, and a scent of spicy pepper instantly filled the room.
The eldest princess shouted for water and asked Aunt Lu to continue feeding her.
When Wang Xiu saw this, he couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with you? Isn't there a pot of clear soup?"
The eldest princess shook her head: "How can the clear soup be compared with the red soup? I am used to spicy food. Besides, if my stomach is uncomfortable, don't you still have it?"
Wang Xiu had no choice but to say to the two sisters-in-law and Pei Shan beside him: "Eat quickly so that His Highness can eat less."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest princess made a dominating gesture and said: "Don't even think about it!!"
Lu Yunyuan and Lu Yunzhu couldn't help but burst into laughter, but their lips turned red from the heat.
Only Hou Pei Shan was obedient. He was eating clear soup alone, looking elegant and elegant, which was particularly eye-catching.
Soon, two people came from outside in a hurry and took off their cloaks, but they still brought a lot of coldness.
The eldest princess saw them hanging up their cloaks in a familiar manner, and said angrily: "What's going on with you two, why don't you go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year?"
Ji Yunwei said: "What's the point of returning to the capital? It's deserted without Yun Hong. Your Highness, don't dislike us. You can't drive us away anyway, so just leave a place for us."
The eldest princess said: "You are also an official of the imperial court, why are you becoming more and more shameless?"
Ji Yunwei said: "If my face can make a living, I will sell it to His Highness now."
The eldest princess glared at him and saw Ji Yun Weile smiling, but she couldn't help but ask Aunt Lu to set up another table for them.
From the beginning to the end, Wang Xiu and Song Muting, as if they were used to watching it, didn't say a word.
Pei Shan had almost eaten and said he was going to see the two children. The eldest princess said he didn't need to worry about it and told him to go back and read quickly.
Pei Shan smiled shyly and said he would go back later, then took the heater and went out to see the children.
The eldest princess said to Wang Xiu: "This child Pei Shan is too good to say anything. I like him very much."
Ji Yunwei said: "Your Highness hates me so much, why am I not as good as Pei Shan?"
The eldest princess said angrily: "You will always be quarrelsome with me. I am too lazy to be poor with you."
Ji Yunwei hummed to express his dissatisfaction, but then became quiet.
After a while, Pei Shan ushered the two children into the house and helped them untie their cloaks, change their cotton shoes, warm their hands and feed them. He was more attentive and considerate than the man who became a father.
The eldest princess nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but said to Wang Xiu: "I don't know which girl I will take advantage of in the future. We haven't even started discussing marriage yet, so I feel a little reluctant to part with it."
Wang Xiu joked: "Your Highness, don't panic. In a few years, your little boy will soon attract attention."
After hearing this, the eldest princess looked at Wang Xiu's belly and complained: "Lu Yunhong is really incompetent. Chengxi is so big, why are you still not making any movement?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "He and I are now living apart. Your Highness said this. If I get pregnant, how will I explain?"
The eldest princess didn't take it seriously and said: "So what if I'm pregnant? I'll take care of her after she is born, and she will be my daughter-in-law for An Nian in the future."
Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing: "How does Your Highness know that if I'm pregnant, it must be a daughter?"
The eldest princess said: "I don't know, but I heard that there is a reincarnation medicine. I will get one for you when the time comes."
When Wang Xiu heard the sound, she was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the incident about the reincarnation medicine in Dingguo Palace. She was about to ask in detail, but she heard Ji Yunwei shouting over there: "Your Highness, please stop talking, we are still here.
Woolen cloth."
"As for Yunhong, who is so jealous that he is even competing with his own child. If my sister-in-law really wants to give birth to someone else's child, won't he be so angry that he commits suicide?"
Ji Yunwei didn't say it, but he couldn't help it when he mentioned Song Muting, and echoed: "Before committing suicide, I'm afraid you shouldn't find the adulterer and chop him into pieces with thousands of knives, then chop him into pieces. Then dance your sword wildly in front of your wife, and ask
One thousand and one times: Do you love him or me? In the end, he refused to believe that his wife loved him, so he committed suicide in grief and anger. His last words before his death were: You must never marry anyone else!"
"Pfft!" Ji Yunwei squirted.
Then he pushed Song Muting and endured the extra hardship and said, "What are you still talking about?"
"Hahahahaha..." The eldest princess couldn't help laughing, secretly applauding Song Muting's statement!
Everyone else couldn't help laughing, and the corners of their mouths curled up again and again. The atmosphere was particularly joyful at that time.
Wang Xiu couldn't help but glance at Song Muting and found that he actually knew Lu Yunhong quite well, and his assumption was perfect.
Even Lu Yunyuan, who never liked hearing people tease her elder brother, looked at Song Muting. In her impression, he didn't seem so naughty?
It was at this moment that Song Muting looked towards Lu Yunyuan, their eyes met, the charcoal fire crackled in their ears, and the oncoming fire was scorching, and they were instantly told to lower their heads.
Wang Xiu, who happened to capture this scene: "..."!!
