"Lord Nangong, I don't know what happened when Lord Nangong entered the palace this time?"

Feeling that Nangong Jinhong was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the father-in-law said with a smile: "Oh, the slave is confused, just came out of the palace, I heard Jieyu Niangniang's banquet, I heard that the emperor also passed, presumably the emperor specially summoned Nangong Lord into the palace today, and set up a family banquet, right?"

Nangong Jinhong snorted with his nose.

The father-in-law smiled again: "In the past few days, the emperor has been going to Jieyu, but I'm afraid that Jieyu's good things are coming." ”

“……”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately came back to my senses - Nangong Lizhu was about to be reset, Pei Yuanhao naturally wanted to accompany him more in the past few days, and the family banquet that summoned Nangong Jinhong into the palace today was also the last bit of preparation before her reset.

Since that's the case-

The father-in-law smiled and said: "Since this is the case, Lord Nangong should go quickly, you can't let the emperor wait for your lord." ”

Nangong Jinhong was silent for a moment.

Although he didn't speak, I could clearly feel that the atmosphere outside had eased a lot, and he didn't have to come over to see what he was doing.

After a while, Nangong Jinhong laughed: "You have a point, you really shouldn't let the emperor wait for me." ”

"Lord Nangong is wise. ”

"Then, you can also send this distinguished guest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of the palace, but remember, be careful all the way. ”

"Master Xie mentioned. ”

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my father-in-law leaning over, and then the carriage slowly drove forward.

It was only at this time that I slowly turned around, lifted the corner of the curtain, and saw the father-in-law standing in the snow with a slight duster in his hand, looking at the carriage that was slowly leaving, and I said softly: "Father-in-law......"

He came back to his senses and looked at me, and immediately laughed and said, "Madame has been waiting for a long time." ”

With that, he took the token from the guard's hand and turned around.

The carriage went out of the palace gate.

The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and when I arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion, a layer of snow had accumulated on both sides of the road, I jumped down from the carriage, and was blown by the cold wind, and shivered, and the father-in-law hurriedly saluted me and said: "It's cold and cold outside, Madame should go back quickly, don't catch a cold, the little master is going to be distressed." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern," I smiled, and Cai Wei helped me up the steps, just took two steps and stopped, looking back at him: "Father-in-law." ”

"What else does Madame have to command?"

"My father-in-law just said that Nangong Jieyu's good thing is coming, when is it?"

The father-in-law was not surprised at all that I asked this question, so he only smiled and stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has not issued an edict yet, but it has also been spread in the palace and outside the palace, and today I have invited Lord Nangong to the palace for a banquet, but I am afraid that it will be in the next few days - it will probably be the time of the New Year." ”

"Oh......"

I remembered that it was at the New Year's banquet that year, I revealed that Nangong Lizhu abused the second prince Nianyun and she was demoted, and now several years have passed, and the incident of that year has gradually disappeared, and it is time for her to come back again.

I just don't know what kind of impact her comeback will have on the harem.

So, I nodded, and just turned around to leave, when I suddenly remembered something, and turned back and said, "Father-in-law." ”

"What else does Madame have to command?"

"My father-in-law knows so much about things in the palace, so if I don't know Princess Miaoyan's illness, my father-in-law can only do one or two?"

The father-in-law's face did not change, he only smiled and said: "Madam, if the lady wants to ask about the little master, the slaves and maids can answer one or two, only Her Royal Highness the little princess, but the emperor himself is by his side, and there are not many times when the slaves and maids can see Her Royal Highness, let alone know Her Royal Highness's condition." ”

"Oh, then, I see. ”

The father-in-law gave me another snort, turned and left.

I stood at the door, watching the carriage re-enter the wind and snow, and slowly, the snow became heavier and heavier, filling my vision and plunging the entire capital into a white mist.

Since that day, the snow has not stopped.

Every day, I sat in the house, opened a little window when they didn't see it, and saw the snow fluttering and falling outside the window, and gradually lost my eyes.

In the midst of such snowfall, time passed day by day.

Soon, it was the twenty-ninth of the new year.

In the past few days, my love has been a little low, first, Yang Jinyao has not come to my side again; second, I don't know if it was the relationship between Nangong Jinhong that day, the prince Nianshen did not send someone to take me into the palace, in the end what is changing in the palace, I don't know at all, but no matter what, the New Year is approaching, and soon I heard that the streets and alleys outside are becoming more and more lively, children are scrambling to set off fireworks on the street corners, and every household kills chickens and sheep, even the cold wind and snow can not hide the smiles on the faces of the people.

In our house, there are a lot of people, Cai Wei came to ask me how I spent this year, I just lazily waved her hand and asked her to do it herself, gave her some silver, and the house was also lively.

The window was pasted with window grilles, red lanterns were hung under the eaves, Lao Xia drove the carriage to take Shui Xiu and Xiaoni to the street every day, bought a lot of live chickens and ducks and piled them up in the kitchen, often at night, you can still hear those chickens and ducks chirping in the yard.

This morning, when I got up, and when they came to serve, they saw that my eye bubbles were slightly swollen, and they asked, "What's wrong with Madame?"

I didn't tell them that they couldn't sleep because of the noise of the chickens and ducks, so I just waved my hand.

Cai Wei served me to wash, and then said, "Lao Zhu didn't sleep last night. ”

I casually said, "Oh? Why?"

And he said, and heard the devil crying again. ”

"What?"

I was about to bend down to wash my face, when I heard her words, I was stunned, and turned my head to look at her: "Haunted again?"

"I don't know if it's haunted," Cai Wei said: "Anyway, I asked Sister Shuixiu and Brother Du, but they all said they didn't hear it, and I don't know where Lao Zhu heard the ghost crying." ”

I frowned slightly.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I moved into this house, and I'm about to forget about it, after all, everyone lives in peace, and there is nothing haunted, even Lao Zhu himself has forgotten about this matter, why did he suddenly bring it up again today?

I said, "You ask him, what did he say?"

And he said that he had heard, and I guess it was windy in the evening, and that he was too old to have bad ears, and that he had misheard. ”

“……”

I frowned and didn't speak.

Cai Wei's words are not unreasonable, Lao Zhu is old after all, and his spirit is not good, in fact, it is really difficult for him to let him guard the door like this, I also have to consider finding a young and strong person to come back to do this, as for Lao Zhu, give him more money, let him go back to his hometown and enjoy the blessings.

Just thinking so, I didn't speak again, after grooming, breakfast was sent from the kitchen, I asked Cai Wei while eating if she was ready for the New Year, she was organized, one by one, I listened to it well, so I was ready to wrap a few red envelopes later, although it was not long after I came, but these people are still serving me attentively, and this year, it is time to reward them.

Just thinking about it, I saw Du Yan hurriedly walking over from outside, walking to the door and stopping, a cold air hit.

He clenched his fists and said, "Madam." ”

As soon as I looked up and saw him, I asked, "Du Yan, what's the matter?"

He walked in, approached me, leaned over and whispered, "Madam, the road to the western suburbs is open." ”

“……”

I couldn't react for a moment: "Huh?"

"The road in the western suburbs is open. ”

"What?!"

I looked at him with surprise and delight: "You say, the road in the western suburbs—"

"Well," he nodded, "I've been sending people to keep an eye on it, and early this morning, the Praetorian Guards came back from the West City Gate, and I sent someone over to take a look, saying that the road has been opened."

"Really?!"

"Yes. ”

I was overjoyed, and was about to get up and go out immediately, Cai Wei was anxious, and hurriedly pulled me: "Madam, what is Madame doing?"

"Quick, hurry up and tell Lao Xia to prepare, we'll be right away-"

"Madam," compared to my ecstasy, Du Yan was the calmest one, he stood quietly beside me, and said, "Madam, think twice." ”

"Huh?"

I was stunned for a moment, and looked up at his faint, somewhat cold eyes.

Probably because he had been standing outside for a long time, he still had a cold air on his body, and when he came over at this time, it made me feel like I was blown head-on by a cold wind, and my whole body was cold.

I immediately calmed down.

Yes, why did you suddenly withdraw all the people over there today?

Before this, I already understood very well that Pei Yuanhao didn't want anyone to investigate the matter of the Protector Mage, so it was a curfew, and a checkpoint was set up, blocking my way to Chongyun Pavilion in the western suburbs. I don't think it's strange that he's blocking me, but once he's out of the way, I'll have to be careful.

After all, he and I are not hostile, but we are not yet on the same line.

I'm on his guard at all times.

Thinking of this, I slowly sat down.

Du Yan saw that I had calmed down, so he didn't say anything more, but slowly stepped aside.

At this time, someone came again, but Xiaoni hurriedly ran over, and when he saw me sitting at the table, he hurriedly came forward to say goodbye, and then said, "Madam, there is a carriage outside the door." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was a little stunned.

"It came from the palace, and it was said that he was taking his wife into the palace. ”

“……”

Really.

Unexpectedly, it was about to be the New Year, and Nian Shen sent someone to pick me up again.

It just so happens that today I know that the people in the western suburbs have withdrawn, and if I go to Jixian Palace, I may have a chance to find out what is going on.

Thinking of this, I put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand and walked out happily.

Walking to the gate, it was still the same as the previous two times, a carriage stopped at the door, and Lao Zhu stood by the gate, still greeting me.

As Cai Wei said, he probably didn't sleep well last night, and he was a little sluggish.

I comforted him, didn't say much, and walked out.

But as soon as I went out, I felt that something was wrong.

This carriage is not the one that came to pick me up the first two times, it is so simple and simple, but it is very luxurious, and such a carriage is often eye-catching when it comes and goes.

At this moment, the pedestrians on the road walked past our door, and they couldn't help but take a few more looks.

I subconsciously frowned.

At this moment, a man slowly stepped out of the carriage and stood still in front of me
