As soon as her secret is revealed, there will be no more risks of being revealed by Yao Zhiyue.

Concubine Yao will not take risks for her, and will wait for the canonization after the crown prince ascends the throne.

The backyard is stable, and Yao Shangshu can also concentrate on political affairs. The strategy he presented before to send elite soldiers to the north was right for Emperor Qinglong's thoughts. After Zhu Zihou retired, he could also think about the position of a scholar.

The fierce light in Mrs. Yao's eyes became more and more intense.

Following Yao Shangshu from a poor student to today, her status is unbreakable. All this is not because of how deep Yao Shangshu is to her. Rather, she has a habit of strangling danger in the cradle.

It's just that the danger now comes from her beloved daughter, which makes her unable to make up her mind.

"Ma'am," said the maid as she came in and curtsied, "the Imperial Doctor is here." ”

Mrs. Yao's heart sank and she came back to her senses.

She didn't send a doctor. According to Queen Cao's attitude towards her in the palace, she has asked the imperial doctor to treat Yao Zhiyue in the palace, and she will definitely not take the initiative to send the imperial doctor to the door at this time.

The only remaining possibility is that Yao Shangshu was invited.

Mrs. Yao stood up, her eyes regaining her usual composure. "Please."

Yes, Yao Zhiyue is now married to the Quan family. This family affair was an expedient measure before, but with the exile of Gu Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Quan Moxian's position is rising day by day.

At this time, the importance of Yao Zhiyue in Yao Shangshu's eyes is different from before.

As one of the six Shangshu, Yao Shangshu had no time to care about Yao Zhiyue's daughters' thoughts, and he didn't want to ask about the reason for falling into the water in the palace.

He only knew that since Yao Zhiyue had offended the queen, only by marrying Yao Zhiyue into the power family could the Yao family maximize the benefits.

I have to say that it is Mrs. Yao who knows Yao Shangshu best, and she guessed his mind in a moment.

She sighed in her heart, in this way, she couldn't move Yao Zhiyue, and she had to take care of her. Otherwise, Yao Shangshu would be more serious, and those past events would not be able to hide from him.

's love for Yao Zhiyue, after these tosses, is only one or two percent left in Mrs. Yao's heart. She was not a good person in the first place, and a young girl was nothing compared to her position of power.

Seeing that the imperial physician was diagnosing Yao Zhiyue's pulse, Mrs. Yao smiled lovingly on the surface, but she sneered again and again in her heart.

Yao Shangshu can't help but not know his daughter too well, Yao Zhiyue has gone crazy now, how can he marry Quan Moxian obediently according to his ideas.

She just waited, waiting for Yao Zhiyue to mess up this marriage by herself, and it was not too late for her to slowly clean her up.

Yao Zhiyue fell into the lake in the winter, and although she was rescued in just a few breaths, she was soaked and almost drowned. Her illness was very obvious, and the imperial doctor left a targeted prescription and told her to have a good baby.

……

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, every family celebrated the New Year, and Luoyang City once again ushered in an all-night carnival.

Zhiyuan lived inside, and Wu Zhengxiang accompanied Xu Wanzhen to keep the year.

A few tables were set up in the courtyard, and the maids, servants, and female guards, as well as the entourage, servants, and guards from the outer courtyard were all called in. Come together and have fun with them.

For Sang Zi and Caisi, this is the last Chinese New Year's Eve they spent by Xu Wanzhen's side, and they can't help but feel a little sad.

Fortunately, there were many people in the courtyard, and Xu Wanzhen specially ordered them not to be formal. For the next people, it is rare to have such a relaxing moment, and after a few rounds of drinking, everyone let go of the noise.

Wu Zhengxiang gently hugged Xu Wanzhen's shoulder, looking at the people in this big courtyard, they were all the most trusted and loyal servants around them, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

Just after the hour, fireworks set off behind the shadow wall. Golden fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, brilliant and colorful, and the sparks that shot out illuminated the entire courtyard.

In the Gaumang Dynasty, fireworks had only one color. But such a brief dazzle is particularly remarkable.

Between the light and the light, everyone's smiling faces looked very happy. Xu Wanzhen clasped her hands together, raised her head slightly, fireworks bloomed brightly in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised an arc of happiness.

Wu Zhengxiang wrapped his hands around her, and this warmth made him intoxicated.

The gloom of the past, the things that used to happen in this courtyard. At this moment, it was as if the past had become distant and unreal.

The days that followed were busy and festive.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Wanzhen asked Mama Zheng to send happy money and new clothes to the people in the courtyard, and red couplets, peach charms, and New Year's pictures were pasted all over the courtyard, beaming with joy.

At the entrance of the Chungkook Mansion, two beautifully crafted three-tiered lanterns are hung, each of which can be rotated independently. It was Lu Shi who ordered him to go down and specially customize the style back in the Lantern Pavilion, which attracted many street children to stop and play here.

The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out from time to time, and the once prosperous shops on both sides of the street posted red paper and closed down. From top to bottom, the yamen rested for 15 days, and every household closed their doors to celebrate the New Year.

In the era of war and chaos, and the people are struggling to make a living, for ordinary people, the year is difficult. There are even families who flee from harsh rents.

And now, the Gaomang Dynasty has been recuperating for decades, starting from the first emperor, it has lightly taxed and allowed the people's livelihood to be stable. This year has just won a great victory in the north, and the people's hearts are stable, and this year has become more and more lively.

The Chinese New Year was originally a rare time for people to reunite.

Wu Zhengxiang escorted Xu Wanzhen, went back to Xu's house, and visited Old Man Tu again. Relatives and relatives greet each other, and make friends with people's invitations to drink and feast.

This year, Zhiyuanju had a very lively and warm life. But for the entire Zhongguo Mansion, it is a little extra deserted, even if the Lu family makes the interior and exterior of the mansion arranged, it can't hide the coldness in the bones.

The old Zhongguo Gong and his wife have passed away, and because of the Chen family, Zhongguo Gong Wulie does not return to the backyard all the year round, and his back house does not even have an aunt to pass through.

Moreover, anyone can rest, but Wu Sheng must be on duty in the palace.

In previous years, the Chen family was still there. She is the mistress of the Chung Kok Mansion and an elder. She presided over the New Year, sacrifices, personal contacts and other matters, and Zhongguo Gong would also return to the main courtyard to live for a while, and the family seemed lively on the surface.

However, this year, Chen's hemiplegia was paralyzed in bed, and the heavy responsibility of presiding over the New Year of the Zhongguo Mansion fell on Lu's head.

After all, Lu is a young daughter-in-law, and there are many inconveniences. For example, at most, she held a reunion banquet after sacrificing her ancestors, but she couldn't invite Zhongguo Gong back to the backyard.

The only thing that made her happy was that Wu Lie sent Wu Chao back to her and gave him a big vacation. With his son by his side, the smile on Lu's face also increased a lot.

The Zhongguo Mansion was originally thin, and this year, each of them has passed its own year, and compared with other mansions, it has become more and more depressed.
