Chapter Eighty-Five: New Year

Jinghu didn't sit in the Red Jitang of the Duchess of Guo for long, so he went out under the pretext of having something. She originally wanted to come and see the Duchess and change her impression that she might have been too lively or otherwise not too good in her heart.

But she found that she could not face such a duchess. Hong Jitang was too gloomy, but after only a year, she seemed to have completely changed as a person.

She is just an outsider and can't stand it, Qingrou is her daughter, almost every day is so relative, how can she not be resentful. Qingrou is already considered to be good-natured and reasonable.

If she had been in the past, I was afraid that she would have been in trouble with her family for a long time - even if the truth was unbearable, she had been ignorant of what could be reached, and she was eager to seek the pain of the truth every day.

Qingrou is like this, so Ke Mingxu, will it also ......

She was too powerless. In this matter, she could not do anything at all except some shallow comfort.

*

The New Year of the nineteenth year of Zhaoyong came soon. For the remaining month or so, she was attending classes almost every day, facing Meng Heting's face that was colder than winter snow.

Every day, he had to fight against the homework he assigned, and he also practiced the Eile language with the young man every day. Cyanqing inevitably stumbled a little at first, but then gradually got better, doing the same homework as her.

Someone can talk to her at any time every day, and she makes rapid progress. She gradually disliked Meng Heting less, but he was still very cold to her. It seems that all the cold treatment she had received on Yanliang people in the past was vented to her.

I don't know how he and Ke Mingxu get along. When he is not cold, what kind of character is he?

In the past month or so, nothing new has happened to Jinghu, except that he went to the palace to see Princess Zhenning during the holidays.

Now she no longer wants to go to the East Palace, her cousin Xu Guannan, after the accident of the former Empress Zhang in October, the prince interceded, was allowed by the grace of the present, returned to the East Palace to serve, became the crown princess, I heard that she was pregnant.

Concubine Xu was very happy when she learned about this, and she deliberately sarcastically sarcastically said a few words to the princess of the county during the family banquet. Queen Zhang, who was good friends with the princess of the county, became a concubine and a ghost in the cold palace, and now it is their Xu family who is gaining power.

Although Xu Guannan is her cousin, she still feels a little sorry for the crown princess. In those days when she often ran to the East Palace, she saw her carefully taking care of the emperor's eldest grandson and brother every day, and she was also moved by her gentleness.

The prince really has no principles, his mother and concubine have suffered injustice, and finally got the snow of grievances, so that the evildoers of the year have been retributed, but what he thinks about is to take advantage of this east wind to get his concubine out of Nanyuan.

Even if he took this opportunity to make political profits for himself and suppress the three princes' henchmen, she would not be so shameless, but when he only did this, he was as if he was satisfied, and it seemed that there was no other action.

Is this the current prince who my father wants to follow, the future emperor of Yanliang? She couldn't understand it.

There is another major event above the government and the opposition, that is, the case of the governor of the river, the Marquis of Wuning.

Zhang Zhiqing, Marquis of Wuning, is the younger brother of Zhang Shuren, who has been greedy for silver taels on the river for many years, resulting in the construction of the Yellow River embankment every year, and the construction of the Yellow River cannot be completed every year, the people are displaced, and the family is ruined.

Jinghu had never cared about these things before, and the homeless people she could see in the street market were a distance that she could not cross in her life. She never thought that one day she would feel sorry for these people.

She had been to the Shantang in the south of the city several times, the first time was because she had heard Huifeng say that Ke Mingxu often went to the Shantang in the south of the city to visit the children inside.

Later, after Wu Ninghou had an accident, she went to Shantang and learned that so many children had lost their parents, and even all their relatives were because of the Yellow River bursting its banks.

The flood swallowed lives, homes, and hope.

Zhang Zhiqing really deserves to die. It's just that the sentence of exile is too light. On the day he was exiled from Beijing, Jinghu and Li Yi were on the Zhengyang Gate together.

The people were indignant and watched on both sides of the road.

In the interim, she told her that her third brother had hired another good woman and would enter the door in the next year. Jinghu naturally thought of the sixth mother of the Xu family, she couldn't look down on Li Yi's third brother, and wanted to marry Ke Mingxu, which was destined to be extravagant hopes.

I don't know which family she will marry into in the end.

And the silver taels that Marquis Wuning was greedy for, of course, not all of them were stored in Marquis Wuning's mansion.

The third prince was later adopted by the former Empress Zhang, and the Zhang family of Wuning Hou became the new mother family of the third prince, saying that such a thing had nothing to do with him, and no one would believe it.

Maybe it was out of the love of father and son, or maybe it was out of a little guilt for the birth mother of the third prince, Yuan Rong Shufei, who died unjustly, but Jinshang didn't think about him, but just let him think about it behind closed doors.

It's a pity that the third prince is still unrepentant, and together with some generals of the five military camps, he intends to force the palace.

Imagami is so indecisive, such a thing has happened, and he hasn't even made up his mind about what to do with him.

It wasn't until Bai Zhaoyi, the most favored person in the harem, suddenly became troubled, kneeling outside the Yuyuan Hall in winter, showing his life experience, and avenging the people who suffered from the Yellow River in the world, that he finally ordered the three princes who committed the rebellion to die.

On the day when Bai Zhaoyi knelt outside the Yuyuan Hall to plead, Jinghu was in the palace and was with Princess Zhenning.

Hearing this, they stood at a distance and glanced at it from a distance. At that time, there were not only Bai Zhaoyi who knelt outside the palace, but also many palace maids, chamberlains, and even female officials and concubines in the palace.

It's just that in this small palace city, there are so many people who suffer because of this, and how many people should there be in the huge Yanliang. When the homeland is swallowed up, it is painful to be unable to return to the homeland on such days.

Hopefully never again.

At the end of that day, when she was about to turn around and go back to Zhenning Palace, she saw Ke Mingxu. He wore a pine blue robe, wore a crown, and walked on the snow-covered palace road.

There weren't many snowy days in Yanjing, and the distance was too far for her to see his expression clearly. I don't know if he will think of her again after all this time.

This was also the last time she saw Ke Mingxu this year.

It's the New Year, and there are no fireworks in the night sky this year. I can't forget Empress Yuanli today, and this Chinese New Year's Eve has been clouded with some haze.

How many people, even when they say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, are immersed in unspeakable sadness.
