After a salute, everyone took their seats.

The palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was no different from usual, Xiao Jiu seemed a little absent-minded because of what he had encountered in Fengwu Palace before, and she didn't listen to what Emperor Qian said.

Yan Xi held Xiao Jiu's hand and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, but what happened?"

Xiao Jiu came back to his senses and shook his head, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

It's not a big deal, it's just that Xiao Jiu was a little frightened at the time, the queen looks gentle, but in the face of Xiao Jiu's strength, although it is not malicious, it is not goodwill.

This is what makes Xiao Jiu haunted.

"If you're not feeling well, we'll go home early today. Yan Xi looked at Xiao Jiu's face carefully, and was very worried in his heart.

I don't know if I was scared into a cold sweat by the queen today, and I caught a cold after going out in the wind, Xiao Jiu really feels weak and weak now, and he can't lift his spirits.

"Stay a little longer. "It hasn't been long since the banquet started, and if the couple leaves now, it may make people think that they are deliberately giving the prince no face.

Yan Xi saw that Xiao Jiu was only a little tired, so he didn't force it, but he just held her hand but never parted.

Halfway through the banquet, Emperor Qiandi mentioned the prince's marriage as he wished, but did not say anything about marriage, but only urged the prince to quickly find a princess and give birth to an heir as soon as possible.

The prince naturally agreed very solemnly, which could be regarded as a compromise, and then Emperor Qian understood the prince's hard work with injuries and allowed him to go back to rest as soon as possible.

Yan Xi also took Xiao Jiu back to the house, and the degree of willfulness and casualness was unbearable to look at.

The prince went out of the palace with Yan Xi and his wife, and joked with Yan Xi: "I also know your temper, and those people in Yushitai don't dare to impeach you, I have been back to Beijing for so long, and I have never seen anyone who dares to write a bullet to impeach you." ”

"Those who have impeached me have no good end now. Yan Xi's words are very ambiguous, but they can be regarded as the truth.

A few years ago, when Yan Xi was in Licheng, there were many excerpts to impeach him, and all the charges were not small, and Emperor Qianqian trusted Yan Xi very much, not only reprimanded those impeached officials, but also dismissed many of them.

In terms of Xi's return to Beijing, he doesn't have many times, and every time he comes back, he can pull a few officials off the horse, which can be described as a ghostly character.

After a long time, no one dares to provoke Yan Xi anymore.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they each got into the carriage, and the prince instructed Yanxi: "Be careful on the road." ”

"Hmm. ”

Yan Xi responded lightly and helped Xiao Jiu into the carriage.

The carriage drove away from the palace gate, Xiao Jiu frowned slightly, and whispered, "Why do I think there is something in the prince's words?"

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, not to mention the inner city, it is the outer city, there are few people on the street, and the too quiet environment is slightly depressing.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Yan Xi put his arm around Xiao Jiu's shoulders, let her lean into his arms, kissed the top of her hair, and said softly: "It's just three or two small shrimps." ”

Yan Xi's words, that means that the road back to the house is not smooth.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion is not far from the palace, this section of the road has always been the most peaceful, if anyone really dares to do it here, Xiao Jiu thought, except for the four princes, he didn't think about it.

"Hasn't he been a lot more restrained recently, hibernate and look at it, why did he choose to make such a big move today?" Xiao Jiu felt that the fourth prince was simply a-stirring stick, and he was simply a hated existence.

"If not, how can you paralyze the enemy?" Yan Xi sneered, this was all left over from his play, and the fourth prince was embarrassed to play with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, it was ridiculous.

Xiao Jiu sighed, and didn't know what to say.

"What happened in the palace today?" Yan Xi held Xiao Jiu's hand and asked softly.

Xiao Jiu whispered about the queen's performance today to Yanxi, and said with a little palpitation: "I thought that the queen was a very gentle and very good person at first, but I felt that she looked at me with a fierce look in her eyes, as if she wanted to deliberately suppress me. ”

When Yan Xi heard this, he frowned slightly, and he also felt strange in his heart, he had not found anything strange about the queen before.

"Probably because I think too much, I think the queen mother is much kinder than the queen. Xiao Jiu pursed his mouth, and there was some unhappiness in his heart.

The queen is also the queen mother in the future, Yan Xi is a super lady, and she will definitely enter the palace from time to time during the New Year's holidays in the future, and the days of dealing with the queen are only more and not less, and I feel a headache and want to cry when I think about it.

"Well, don't think too much, we have no conflict of interest with the queen, and she has no reason to make things difficult for you. Yan Xi comforted Xiao Jiu softly, having said that, he was determined to pay attention to Mo Yi's movements under the queen.

The prince's mansion is next to the eldest princess's mansion, and the distance between Yan Xi and the prince back to the mansion is the same, the two carriages are one in front of the other, and the sound of horses' hooves is very clear in the empty street.

When the carriage reached the middle of the palace and the mansion, a dozen strings of firecrackers suddenly fell from the sky, crackling, and the horses were startled by the sudden sound, and for a moment they were uncontrollable, and spread their hooves and galloped.

Xiao Jiu was tightly held in Yan Xi's arms, so as not to be knocked over, but in her heart, she had a dog-like sense of déjà vu, she thought that the road was not peaceful and it would be an assassination, but she didn't expect it to be a firecracker to startle the horse, was she planning to fall to death them?

The carriage ran forward in a panic, and there were firecrackers lit all the way along the road, and Rao Shimo couldn't pull the horses, so he could only try his best to control the carriage from overturning.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers that kept ringing in his ears, Xiao Jiu secretly scolded the four princes in his heart, everyone said that they were the most poisonous women's hearts, and the four princes were actually not far behind.

Xiao Jiu was still scolding in his heart, and a clear voice came from his ears, "Hold me tight, let's jump out of the car!"

"Hmm. Xiao Jiu nodded and grabbed the hem of Yanxi's clothes tightly.

"Moyi, jump. ”

Yan Xi shouted loudly, Mo didn't want to let go of the reins and jump out of the car, and then Xiang Xi also carried Xiao Jiu out of the carriage and landed steadily on the side of the street.

Xiao Jiu's feet landed on the ground, his head was still a little dizzy, he looked left and right, and said in surprise: "The prince's carriage is gone." ”

Because the sound of firecrackers kept ringing, they were all in the carriage, and they didn't even notice that the carriage that followed them was gone.

Yan Xi frowned, and ordered Mo Yi in a deep voice: "Go after it, be sure to bring the prince back safely." ”

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, if the fourth prince really wants to kill the crown prince, the slightest movement can attract the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion, but if there is a cover of firecrackers, it can paralyze the people of the patrol battalion to some extent.

"It's rare to be smart once. Yan Xi snorted mockingly.

Xiao Jiu: ......

"I'll send you home first. Yan Xi lowered his head and touched Xiao Jiu's hand, which was already a little cold.

"Hmm. "Xiao Jiu also has some An Ge'er who stayed in the mansion.
