The capital city is prosperous and covered in silver.
Today, vendors in the city were running around telling each other, and countless people lined the streets to watch. Everyone who passed by saw the cars coming and going in front of the gate of the General Protector's Mansion, with the sound of gongs and drums.
As we all know, today is the birthday of the old general Yan Jiangyan, the commander of the Xuanjia Army who has just returned to the court. Anyone who can enter the palace is one of the most noble people in the capital.
I heard that even the man from the palace would come to congratulate me.
However, who knew that in the palace of this splendid general who protects the country, there is a little maid with tears in her eyes, calling her dying lady over and over again.
"Miss, please don't die... don't leave Lianxiang behind... Wuwu... Miss... it's because Lianxiang didn't take good care of you for Madam, please wake up... Lianxiang is willing to die for Miss...
…”
Lianxiang cried till she was hoarse, but the mother who was in charge on the side frowned coldly, put her thick hands on her fat waist and said:
"Why are you howling? Your lady is dead and gone. Get out of the way! We are still waiting to collect her body so that we can go to the front yard to collect the reward!"
As she said that, the mother in charge gave a look to the maids behind her, "Move quickly."
The second young lady seems to be breathing more out than in, and can't bear more than a few sticks of incense. Madam has already warned them that this matter must be dealt with quickly, and the group of nobles in the front yard must not be informed.
What if this wonderful birthday party brings bad luck?
"Our lady is still angry, you, you can't do this..."
Lianxiang cried and stood in front of her young lady. With tears in her eyes, she started to fight with all the maids. But two fists were hard to beat with four hands? What’s more, she was such a thin little girl.
So she was pushed by the leader's mother and staggered, and her head hit the table beside her.
There was a bang and blood slid down her face. At this moment, the girl who had been lying on the bed frowned and said in a cold voice with great impatience:
"It's so noisy..."
＊
The long street was filled with fluff, and people lined the streets. Xiao Xiruo covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, while looking out of the carriage with excitement on her face.
The imperial driver walked along the most prosperous West Street in the capital. There were all kinds of restaurants, tea shops, pawn shops, and silk shops on the street. There were also many towering pavilions in the courtyards of aristocratic families. The scenery was very pleasant. At the end of the road, she had never seen a long winter scene.
Street map.
Antique and dreamlike.
In the distance, she saw an extremely majestic mansion. There were cars and people coming and going in front of the mansion. It was the starting point of this novel - the Palace of the Protector General.
It is said that there is a daughter in the Yan family, named Mo Qing. Although she is the legitimate daughter of the family, she is ugly, weak and can be bullied.
She was obviously worthless, but when she was born, a hundred birds came to her and a phoenix came to her. The late emperor felt that this girl had a bright future, so he gave her a marriage contract, which made countless beauties in the capital go crazy with jealousy.
So the scumbag prince regretted it as expected, Sister Bai Lianhua took over without any suspense, and the extremely weak original owner finally became strong for once, and she took the letter of divorce and threw herself into the lake.
So when Xiao Xiruo noticed that the carriage had stopped and the crowd outside was shouting "Long Live", he counted with his fingers. The cold and crazy secret agent heroine Yan Moqing should have shouted "It's so noisy", right?
Xiao Xiruo was thinking about it when she saw that Shen Mian had opened the car curtains. The cold wind outside the curtains was carrying the white snow, instantly chilling her blood.
She lowered her eyes and coughed lightly. Her broken body was unable to adapt to the environment outside the car.
I touched Mrs. Yu in my arms again, wuwuwu, it was cold...
"What are you doing standing still? Get off the car."
Finally, the villain Feng who was blocked by her became impatient. His peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with frost, and when he looked at her, a negative emotion prompt appeared.
For a moment, Xiao Xiruo's blood, which had been chilled by the cold wind, warmed up again. She stared at the cold-faced Feng Wuyan with a pair of eyes. The more she looked at him, the more she found him adorable despite his negative emotions.
So without waiting for Feng Dakai's request, she automatically curled up into a ball and made way for him to go out.
This scene directly made Feng Wuyan stunned.
He walked to the car door a little irritably, and Feng Wuyan couldn't help but look back at Xiao Xiruo. He saw that the girl was clearly coughing, but she still looked at him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you should get off..."
Before Shen Mian could finish saying the word "car", she saw her master extending his hand to Xue Xue beside him in annoyance.
"cloak."
"ah?"
Xingxue was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly handed over his wife's cloak.
In the car, Xiao Xiruo, who couldn't stop coughing, was huddled up, waiting for the snow to fall outside the car.
Suddenly, a shadow passed over her head, and by the time she reacted, her white butterfly cloak had already been wrapped around her body.
A pair of slender hands as white as jade held the collar of her hood, and their fingers quickly tied the belt for her.
When she looked up, the young man had withdrawn coldly, leaving her with only a slender and straight back.
It turns out that beauties are extremely beautiful even if you look at them from behind.
"My dear, be careful."
Xue Xue helped Xiao Xiruo out of the carriage, and Wan Xue at the side had handed over a new heater.
The royal driver is all about pomp, so there is rarely a congestion in front of the orderly General's Mansion.
Fortunately, Xi Yang was a smart person and quickly made room for the Yan family who came to pick him up.
General Yan was injured, so the task of welcoming and transporting him fell to his only son, Yan Feng, who is now the Minister of War, and his step-wife, Jiang.
It stands to reason that when the emperor travels, in addition to the host of the birthday party, other relatives and ministers should also come out to greet him.
However, the situation in Dayan is complicated, with the prince running rampant and various major factions forming. These pretentious people will not look good on a puppet emperor.
In the past, the Hua family, Wang family and others would take the lead in regulating everyone, but now Feng Wuyan doesn't listen to them at all, so they naturally want to show off to each other.
Ever since, when Yan Feng, the Minister of War, saw Feng Wuyan and Xiao Xiruo getting out of the car, his first reaction was not to greet the emperor, but to approach Xiao Xiruo with a smile on his face.
"We haven't seen you for many years. Xiruo has grown into a tall and graceful girl. I remember when your uncle Yan saw you in Beiliang, you were only at his knees."
Father Xiao and General Yan had known each other for many years, so Yan Feng had also been to Beiliang in his early years.
But Xiao Xiruo felt that rather than saying that the other party remembered him, it would be better to say that he remembered his family.
As for his move of calling her "Xi Ruo" instead of "Empress", it represented the attitude of most people in the Yan Dynasty towards her.
It is true that she is a proton, but it is false that she is a princess.
The imperial concubine belongs to Feng Wuyan alone, but Proton is someone who can be won over by everyone present.
Even though it is well known that her heart belongs to Feng Yehan...
So Xiao Xiruo glanced blankly at Yan Feng, the dog father of the heroine Yan Moqing in the book, then looked sideways at the silent Feng Wuyan, and said in a delicate and aggrieved tone:
"Your Majesty, who is he? Even my concubines don't recognize him~"
