In Yandian Palace, Sun Mengmeng closed her eyes and leaned on the soft floor.
Her pointed chin and palm-sized face had no smile at all, just like a flower that had lost its color.
At the age of sixteen, he looked lifeless and had completely lost his vitality. He sat motionless for who knows how long.
At this time, the maid Yue Ji hurried in and said in a surprised tone, "Miss, tonight at the Ice Lantern Festival in the capital, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send a message asking you to prepare to leave the palace together in the evening."
"Really?" After hearing this, Sun Mengmeng perked up and sat up straight, "Your Highness, will you really take me there?"
"Of course it's true." Yue Ji was also very happy, "Maybe we can meet Princess Ye at the lantern festival~~
Since the Crown Princess entered the East Palace, they tried to pass a note to Prince Ye's Mansion but were unable to do so. A familiar chambermaid told them that Princess Ye once handed a note to the Ruyan Palace, but it was also confiscated by the Crown Princess.
!
Sun Mengmeng just felt like a bird trapped here, feeling confused all day long.
"Miss, if you see Princess Ye, you must tell her about the situation in the East Palace and let her find a way to rescue you." Lily's eyes were red, "I heard that the Queen wants to save the infertile people in the East Palace.
Liang Di cleans up: "Let's go, I don't know how to clean up~~"
After all, they are the women of His Highness the Crown Prince. If the Queen wants to 'clean up' them, who knows whether they will be dead or alive when they are sent out of the East Palace?
"Yes, I know." Sun Mengmeng's eyes also glowed with hope, "Quickly, take care of things."
"Don't worry, miss, let's finish the dinner first." Yue Ji wiped away her tears. Miss, since she entered the East Palace and lost the child, how long has it been since she was so energetic?
"I can't eat it." Sun Mengmeng's eyes filled with tears. She recalled in her mind the purchase of roasted lamb chops on the night of the Lantern Festival. "Maybe there will be roasted lamb chops for sale on the street. I can buy them and eat them then." That wonderful period supported me.
She has gone through these days.
"Okay." Yue Li choked with tears and responded.
In Yuling Palace, Ding Xiaolian was having dinner alone and had no appetite at all.
"Call your Ah Xun to lead~~" Zhang Neng retorted with a smile.
Now that we have entered the East Palace, competition for favor is inevitable.
Ever since she became pregnant, Ding Xiaolian didn't know whether it was caused by hormonal changes or something else. In short, she began to worry about gains and losses. At first, she was tolerant as a prince, but as time went by, he still got annoyed.
"Business matters should wait until next year, and we should celebrate the New Year well first." Zhang Neng came out of the business shop and laughed, "This is the first time Princess Ye is celebrating the New Year in the palace, so she has to make a good deal of it."
"Of course." Shen Yuyu blinked her big almond-shaped eyes, "But Mr. Zhang, how do you prepare for the New Year in the city? I used to live in the countryside, and I really didn't understand the rules in the palace.'
Ding Xiaolian tugged at the corner of his mouth and snorted softly, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"I heard it's in Zhaoshu Palace." Aunt Lei said.
"Hong Luan, go and report to His Highness the Crown Prince that I am not feeling well and will not go."
"Axun came out of the palace?" Shen Yue looked at him with a smile, and suddenly sniffed, "Axun, why do you have a unique fragrance on your body? It's so familiar, as if you've smelled it on someone before~~'
"Miss, if you don't go, won't the relationship between His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess get further? You must not give her this opportunity." Hong Luan said worriedly.
Since the young lady became infertile, Aunt Wang of the Honor and Lu Hou Mansion never sent anyone to see the young lady, as if she did not exist.
It was losing money before. After Shen Yuyu took over, King Xuan sent a money manager to the head office of Tianxia Commercial Bank, and the accounts began to balance out.
"It's okay, His Highness the Night King understands. Let His Highness teach you."
When he was using the young lady, he took the initiative and tried every means to send the young lady to the East Palace. Now that the young lady has no use value, he abandons her. How can such a relative be called a relative?
"Miss, don't worry, Princess Ye will definitely help you, and we will definitely be able to leave the East Palace alive." During these days, Lily couldn't sleep at night, for fear that the queen would give the miss a bowl of medicine, so that "Ruyan Palace" could be freed up.
How could Sun Mengmeng not understand? Every day she spent in Ruyan Palace seemed like she was waiting to die. Such suffering almost made her lose hope.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yuande answered the question outside, "Aren't you going? Is Ding Liangdi still angry with this prince?"
Shen Yuyu and Zhang Neng entered the commercial building together.
Coincidentally, the opposite side of Tianxia Commercial Bank is Yongsheng Commercial Bank. Yongsheng Commercial Bank is magnificent and ten times more dazzling than Tianxia Commercial Bank.
Those selling candied haws, baked potatoes, and dried melon seeds~~ Apart from being much more expensive than usual, there is no other difference.
Tianxia Commercial Bank is located in the bustling Anren Street. It is an old building. The words "Tianxia Commercial Bank" are dimmed by the white snow.
"What's the use? His Highness the Crown Prince keeps saying that the Crown Princess is as boring as 'wood', but as soon as he left Yuling Palace, he went to bed with her~~'
Women are like this. After being favored by a man for a long time, they can't see their own position clearly and overestimate their position in the man's mind.
I didn’t make much, but I finally made a profit.
"Really?" Ji Xun pulled up his sleeves and smelled it, and said in surprise, "It seems to have a scent, I don't know where it got it." He remembered that a guard bumped into him at the palace gate. The smell was like that guard. I have it on my body too.
"Yu Yu has a husband, how can you let other men take you out to play?" Ji Xun appeared out of nowhere and hugged her from behind.
In Shen Yuyu's imagination, when it was so cold, everyone would definitely light up the fire and stay at home, and the streets would be deserted. However, it was completely different from what she expected. The streets were still bustling.
"Can't you teach me?"
"Isn't Zhong Liangdi also pregnant? Why isn't she as delicate as you?" Wei Yuande's face darkened: "Besides, you have been so lively in bed these past few days, how do you look like you are unwell?"
Ding Xiaolian's chin was stuffed and he was speechless.
It’s the twelfth lunar month, and everyone is focusing on celebrating the New Year, including business firms.
Just when she was in a bad mood, Hong Luan came in to report that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to take her out of the palace to see the ice lanterns, but Ding Xiaolian couldn't arouse the slightest interest.
"Xiao Lian doesn't dare." Ding Xiaolian hurriedly stood up when he heard the prince's voice and went to greet him.
Just as he was about to explain, he saw that Peng Lai Restaurant happened to be next to him. His thoughts were diverted and he said to Zhang Neng, "Go back home and call everyone out. We will have dinner in the restaurant. After dinner, we can go watch the ice lanterns."
After dressing up, she happily waited to leave the palace.
This is how a woman's fall from grace often begins.
When passing Peng Lai Restaurant, I saw many diners queuing up to have their meals. The heavy snow would not affect people's lives at all.
"I don't have time, I want to teach my Axue how to practice swords~" After a pause, Zhang Neng suddenly said with great interest, "Hey~~ I almost forgot that there is an Ice Lantern Festival in the capital tonight, but I have to take my Axue out to see the excitement. '
"Don't take me with you?" Shen Yue pouted.
The streets are covered with snow, there are thick snow piles on both sides of the shops, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves are covered with ice ridges longer than your fingers. This is a dazzling world of ice and snow.
There will occasionally be snow falling in the sky, but there is no wind, and it is not too cold even if you are wrapped in a thick cloak and holding a hand stove.
"Big boss~~ Mr. Zhang." The manager of the trading company is named Qian. He was worried about hosting a banquet at the palace the night before. He had already met Shen Yuyu.
Pedestrians are crowded on the street, everyone is buying and selling, and they are not afraid of the cold at all.
After saying hello, Shen Yuehu and Zhang Neng went into the business house, drank tea and warmed up over the fire, and turned over the books.
…
Wei Yuande took her hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is going to watch the ice lanterns. Wouldn't it be a disappointment if Ding Liangdi doesn't go?" These were Xia Luoluo's original words. Wei Yuande actually listened to them and came to invite Ding Xiaolian in person.
There are four restaurants, five inns, and five teahouses in the capital, as well as two farms outside the city.
She picked around with her chopsticks and put it down without taking a bite: "Where does His Highness have dinner?" She looked at Aunt Lei.
Afraid that Shen Yuyu would worry about her current situation, Sun Mengmeng chose a peach-colored fur collared jacket and put on a purple cloak. Yue Li carefully applied makeup on her, making her look much better.
"But Xiao Lian is feeling unwell after being pregnant and can't stand the cold."
On this day, Shen Yuyu and Zhang Neng went to Tianxia Trading Company to inspect the business.
Half a month ago, Yue Ji managed to get out of the palace and went to the Ronglu Houfu to ask for a meeting with Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang avoided her.
"Okay." Zhang Neng responded and left.
"It's cold outside, let's go into the restaurant." Ji Xun held his wife in his arms and walked across the street to the restaurant. At this time, Shen Yue saw a familiar figure holding a woman in his arms and entered the restaurant opposite. of a casino.
"Who is it?" Ji Xun asked softly when he saw Shen Yuyu staring intently at the opposite side.
"An acquaintance has entered the casino, don't worry about him." Shen Yue smiled and entered the restaurant with Ji Xun.
