In the second half of the night on Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the snow was still falling.

Before dawn, there was a sound of rustling in the Fengsheng Courtyard house.

Yan Nanwan was still dreaming, listening to this small sound, her brows furrowed, she muttered twice dissatisfiedly, turned over, pulled up the quilt to cover her head, and continued to sleep.

Xue Yan waved his hand and let the maid in the house go down, he walked to the side of the bed neatly dressed, sat down, lowered his head and smiled, and pulled the quilt: "Woke you up?"

Yan Nanwan asked in a daze, "What are you going to do?"

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I want to enter the palace to greet my father and the queen mother. ”

"Oh. She snorted twice, said no more, and went back to sleep.

Xue Yan looked at his delicate appearance, smiled dotingly, and instructed: "Don't sleep too long, remember to get up and have lunch." ”

Yan Nan didn't answer in the evening.

He looked at her and smiled, got up, and walked out.

The whole housekeeper and Ling Sheng were waiting outside, watching Xue Yan come out, the two stepped forward, and Ling Sheng said, "Master, you can go." ”

Xue Yan nodded and instructed the housekeeper, "At noon, let someone come and call Lord Yan for lunch." ”

The whole butler smiled and bowed his head.

In the palace of the Queen Mother, the emperor and queen, as well as the concubines of various palaces came to say hello to the Queen Mother.

The crown prince Xue Hanmu also came with Zhao Heqian, and Xue Zenglin followed.

The Queen Mother had a headache when she looked at the Yingying Yanyan in a room, and knew that this group of concubines had come to see the emperor, so she said: "You all go back, the mourning family wants to talk to the grandchildren." ”

The emperor got up and smiled: "I won't bother the queen mother." ”

The queen and the concubines got up, saluted in a proper manner, and left with the emperor.

After a group of people left, the Queen Mother smiled kindly and greeted Zhao Heqian: "The crown princess came to sit on the side of the mourning family, and the mourning family took a closer look." ”

Zhao Heqian glanced at Xue Hanmu gently, Xue Hanmu smiled and bowed her head, and then she got up and walked to the Queen Mother's side.

The Queen Mother looked at the small movements between the two, and teased with a smile: "The relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess is so good, the mourning family wants to talk to the crown princess, and they have to get the prince's consent." ”

Xue Hanmu replied with a smile: "I made the imperial grandmother laugh, but I was worried that He Qian would not be able to speak, which would make the imperial grandmother unhappy." ”

"Where are you afraid of upsetting the imperial grandmother?" Xue Zenglin said gently, "The crown prince and brother are afraid that the crown princess will be wronged!"

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile and looked at Xue Zenglin: "You are also not small, it's time to marry a concubine." ”

Xue Hanmu said: "Last night, my father also said about it, let He Qian help take a look." ”

"That's good, that's good. Too ** took Zhao Heqian's hand, patted it, and looked at her stomach, "Do you have any news with the prince?"

Zhao Heqian blushed shyly, lowered her head, and didn't speak.

Xue Hanmu took over the conversation: "Imperial grandmother, this matter is not urgent. ”

"You've been married for more than a year, and it's time to add a son and a half daughter to the royal family. The Queen Mother sighed, "The mourning family is still waiting to hold their great-grandson!"

"The imperial grandmother is really in high spirits today!" Xue Yan smiled and came in from outside the palace, "It's a New Year's greeting to the imperial grandmother!"

"You didn't go back to Beijing in the old year, but this year it's easy to go back to Beijing, and it's still the latest one to come. The Queen Mother looked at him, looked behind him, and asked, "Why didn't the Seventh Imperial Concubine come?"

Xue Yan didn't answer, and said with a smile: "My grandson came to pay New Year's greetings to the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother didn't have any rewards?"

"You!" the Queen Mother looked at Xue Yan with a smile, "The mouth is sweet, and the mouth is oily." ”

Xue Yan found a place at random, lifted his robe, and sat down obliquely: "Imperial grandmother, this is really wronging me." ”

"Oh, tell me how the mourning family wronged you?"

Xue Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xue Hanmu and Xue Zenglin, and smiled: "The crown prince and the thirteenth emperor brother are all well-behaved and upright people, and they all talk about the rules and squares with the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother has heard a lot, which is not unusual." ”

The palace maid brought the tea and put it in Xue Yan's hand, he picked it up, took two sips lightly, and continued to say unhurriedly: "My grandson is not used to being restrained, I listen to some interesting things in the market to talk to the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother is also happy to listen to it." ”

He amused the Queen Mother with a few words, and nodded again and again.

Xue Hanmu didn't treat Xue Yan too much because of the affairs in the court, Xue Yan naturally wouldn't come up, the two didn't even look at each other, but Xue Zenglin on the side, smiled lightly and said, "Are the crown prince and the seventh emperor brother still angry?"

He gently persuaded: "They are all siblings, and they are all for the sake of sharing the worries of their fathers and emperors, although they disagree, but they are also above the court, and they still have to take into account the feelings of brothers and sisters in private." ”

Xue Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.

Xue Hanmu also had a cold face, as if he hadn't heard Xue Zenglin's words.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at the two of them, and saw that they didn't want to see each other, and asked, "What's wrong with the two of you for the New Year?"

"It's okay, don't worry, Grandmother Huang. Xue Yan smiled evilly, glanced at Xue Hanmu, and sneered, "The crown prince and brother want to share their father's worries, they are too tired, they are all tired and confused." ”

The Queen Mother followed his words and felt distressed: "Prince, it's a good thing to share your worries for the emperor, but you also have to pay more attention to your body." He took Zhao Heqian's hand again and advised, "Crown princess, you have to take care of the prince more, he is the prince, it is inevitable to be tired, but it must be moderate." ”

Zhao Heqian smiled and nodded in response.

Xue Hanmu also responded.

Xue Zenglin's eyes flashed, and he asked as if unintentionally: "I heard a few years ago that the imperial sister-in-law was choosing a husband for Lord Yan, I don't know what progress has been made in this matter?"

As soon as his words fell, several people in the hall changed their faces.

A few traces of disgust flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she sneered slightly, and asked: "The emperor attaches great importance to her marriage!"

Zhao Heqian smiled and said softly: "Lord Yan is an official of the imperial court, a good official praised by the people of the world, and my father should pay attention to it." ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "She is just a woman, if the emperor didn't give her this opportunity, what kind of storm could she make!"

Xue Zenglin smiled faintly: "Imperial grandmother, what you said is not right. ”

"What's wrong?"

Xue Zenglin glanced at Xue Yan, who was silent on the side, and said euphemistically: "What Lord Yan does is not something that ordinary women can do. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she naturally remembered that Yan Nanwan took the initiative to make peace with Xue Yan, and she also knew about this incident in the entire capital, and even spread it all over the world, making the face of the royal family completely embarrassed.

"The mourning family is not a thing when they look at her!" The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more angry she became, and she remembered that she had been rejected by Yan Nanwan when she gave the prince to marry, and her heart was even more angry.

has repeatedly made the royal family lose her prestige, this kind of woman, how can the emperor still let her live!

"Whether Lord Yan is a good thing or not, I don't have to judge the emperor's grandmother. ”
