There was silence in the front hall of the Jianwang Mansion, and De'an knelt on the ground, a layer of cold sweat oozing from his forehead in the moment of waiting. Even if he didn't look up, he didn't doubt the ferocity of the person in front of him at the moment.

But the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and De'an had to persuade him hard: "Your Highness, the slave is just an errand runner." It was the emperor who ordered you to take your blood, and if you don't obey, it will be a crime of resisting the decree. ”

Speaking of this, he secretly glanced back at the guard at the door, leaned closer and whispered to Ji Sihong: "Your Highness, rest assured, the noble concubine Niangniang let His Highness obey his orders, and he will turn evil into good fortune." Please also ask Your Highness to believe in the means of the noble concubine, don't worry. ”

Ji Sihong knew that De'an had always been the mother concubine, and he was relieved when he heard this. Glancing coldly at the two guards guarding the door, he reached into the corner of his mouth and bit his fingertips, dripping a drop of blood into the porcelain vase in De'an's hand.

De'an was relieved and quickly plugged the bottle. specially coughed twice to attract the attention of the two people outside, got up and said goodbye to Ji Lingyun without being salty or light, and then turned around and walked out, looking selfless.

The carriage galloped away, and the two guards escorted it all the way into the palace to the De'an Palace.

Halfway through, he happened to bump into a group of palace people, and one of the palace maids yawned and didn't pay attention for a while and almost hit his head, but was also quickly avoided by the guard.

The leading aunt, who had already passed by, heard the movement and hurriedly walked over, scolding the newcomers for not understanding the rules, while constantly smiling and apologizing to De'an.

The palace man who accidentally got into trouble and offended the chief manager also knew that he was scared at this time, and he cried and admitted his mistake on the side. Seeing that De'an always had a cold face and a displeased face, she immediately knelt down in surprise and couldn't stop kowtowing.

The palace man was only thirteen or fourteen years old, which was the age of coquettishness and playfulness, and one of the guards couldn't bear it, so he urged De'an to hurry up.

De'an was relieved at this time, and the palace man almost fell headlong when he staggered up, but fortunately, De'an subconsciously helped him to stabilize his body, but his face turned white even more in shock.

Fortunately, De'an was in a hurry to return to his home on an errand, and he didn't bother with her anymore, so he went to Shangde Hall with the two guards.

When he got to the hall, he opened the curtain and entered, Emperor Yuan He was waiting for him with his eyes closed, and there was no mountain of twists and turns on the table, only a bowl of porcelain bowl filled with water was placed abruptly, and a silver needle was placed on the side of the bowl.

Dean swallowed his saliva, his heart was crossed, and he went up and took out the porcelain bottle in his sleeve and carefully placed it on the table. Emperor Yuanhe said, "You go down and call Fu'an in." ”

De'an was startled, but he didn't dare to delay, retreated out of the door, and turned around to see Fu'an at the door. He stared at his apprentice faintly, and said in a deep voice with a complicated expression: "The emperor told you to go in, wait carefully." Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't say what you shouldn't say, accompany you like a tiger, carefully thinking about your little life tied to your belt. ”

Fu'an promised to answer as always, and De'an seemed to want to say something, but he pouted and endured it.

When Fu'an entered, Emperor Yuan He was still closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't open his eyes when he heard the voices of people. The hall was silent for a moment, and Emperor Yuanhe sighed, opened his eyes suddenly, took the silver needle on the side, and took a drop of blood from his fingertips.

Fu'an lowered his eyes and didn't say a word, but at this moment, he could immediately step forward and take the cork and drip the blood inside into the bowl.

Two drops of blood dripped back and forth into the clear water, the previous one had sunk to the bottom of the bowl, and the later one had sunk straight into the bowl, and it had smashed into the original drop.

After a few moments, the faint droplets of blood recondensed and separated. The two drops of blood are distinct, each on one side, and they have nothing to do with each other.

Fu'an's face was unwavering, as if he didn't realize that it was powerful. Emperor Yuanhe's face was also indifferent, and he only shook his head and said in a deep voice: "De'an has been with me for so many years...... Be clever with your subordinates, and leave him a whole corpse. ”

Fu'an bowed slightly, as if he had expected it.

The New Year's family reunion, Bai Yanran gave grace early, and many people who were nearby returned home. The house is much cleaner, but everywhere is full of joy.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Aunt Shan was in charge of the spoon herself, and a few girls who stayed behind helped the cook, and they were busy all morning. The lunch party was used in the Linglong small building, and all the people who stayed in the house for the New Year gathered together and sat at three tables lively.

Because of Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran's presence, everyone was still a little restrained at first, but later after two glasses of wine, they became more comfortable with the hazy wine. Later, Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran left the table, and everyone completely let go of their hands and feet.

When you do things in a house, you don't see you when you look up and look down, and you are naturally familiar with each other. But most of them are busy with their own work, and it is rare to be able to get together like this several times a year to eat and drink happily, which is naturally happy.

Among the four tables, Zheng Bo, Hui Niang, Shan Da Niang, Mr. Pei, as well as Gu Fang, Lian Yue and two guards sat at one table, and Su Xin, Xiao Ba and other subordinates sat at two tables.

When the prince and princess left, at least the second jar of wine was opened on each table, and the wine became lively, and many people went to the first table to toast.

Uncle Zheng, Hui Niang, and Aunt Shan naturally had people under their hands come to toast, Pei Tang is a good wine, and his temperament is kind and funny, so he will inevitably be toasted with him.

As for Gu Fang, Lian Yue, and the other two guards, they didn't need to be greeted by others, and they drank happily. There was Lian Yue, who made the fire, and soon several people put together the wine and drank hotly. 22 Literary Network

Seeing that everyone around him was drinking, Hachi couldn't help but take a cup and wanted to taste it. However, before the wine touched his lips, he was cut off by Su Xin in the middle of the way, and taught him a lesson with a straight face: "What kind of wine does the little girl drink?" ”

Hachi is a lively and noisy personality, neither frightened nor annoyed, and bargains with a smile and a smile.

"Good sister, just let me take a sip and taste it. I was so curious when I saw everyone drinking so happily. ”

Su Xin didn't hold back and nodded at her forehead and smiled: "You little girl." ”

As he spoke, he poured the wine into his mouth, and said with a straight face: "You are still young, you are easy to get drunk, and you will think about drinking after two years." ”

Xiao Hachi muttered, probably saying that if Ah Ruan was there, he would definitely let her drink it. Su Xin laughed and said: "You little girl is ghostly, and naturally coaxes Ah Ruan to rely on you for everything." ”

After a pause, she couldn't hide her envy and said: "Ah Ruan should be reuniting with her relatives at this time, how good is the lively family, where is there still time to worry about you little girl." ”

Xiaoba pursed his lips, his eyes were the same loneliness, but also: "Presumably Sister Zhu Ling is also talking and laughing with her mother at this time, how good it is." ”

The two little girls were lonely in the bustle, and Dasheng also looked sad, and he was pouring wine one after another. Although he had always drunk quite well, he was already a little drunk at this time.

Angkor was a little blind, snatched the empty wine glass in his hand, and persuaded: "Young man, drinking is not your way of drinking, drinking is easy to get drunk and hurt your body." ”

Dasheng shook his head as if he wanted to be sober, but he was still dizzy in front of him, and his head was like a mess, and he said vaguely: "It's good to be drunk, drunk." ”

Angkor shook his head and said earnestly: "Young people want to open up a little bit no matter what they encounter, what else can they worry about in this world besides women and children?"

You don't have either anyway, so there's nothing worth getting drunk on. ”

Dasheng whimpered and cried: "It's because I don't have it that I'm worried." ”

Angkor: "......"

He slapped Dasheng on the back, pointed at himself and said, "What's so worrying about this? Look at you Angkor and I, I have no worries, and I never worry, how chic and fast. Live! ”

This is sincerely persuading, Ah Wu on the side finally couldn't listen anymore, got up and wanted to leave, but was found by Angkor and asked: "Alas, why don't you come and persuade together?" ”

Ah Wutou replied without replying: "Go quickly. Live fast. Live. ”

The front hall was bustling, and the noise could be heard by Bai Yanran and Ji Lingyun in the bedroom. At that time, the two were boiling tea to relieve their hangover, and they couldn't help but sit in front of the window holding a teacup and smile.

Ji Lingyun shook his head and said with a smile: "Such a scene must be like a fish in water, and Mr. is just drinking happily." Aunt Shan is a native of Shuzhong, and there are heroines among women at the wine banquet, I am afraid that Hui Niang and Zheng Bo will be a little overwhelmed. ”

Bai Yanran suddenly asked, "Does the prince know why Hui Niang looks at Xiao Ba differently?" ”

With Ji Lingyun's thoughts, it is impossible not to know Xiaoba's problem. At Xiaoba's age, he would never be bought into the palace back then, and Zhu Yong would not buy people back out of pity.

Speaking of which, Xiaoba is actually not a descendant of the palace, she is the person who was bought by Hui Niang, and the monthly money every month has always been secretly given by Hui Niang. Later, Xiaoba came to Bai Yanran's side to be a big girl, and she really became a person in the palace.

The smile on Ji Lingyun's face faded slightly, and he sighed: "It's probably because of the similar backgrounds of the two that Hui Niang saw her own shadow from Xiaoba, so she gave her help and took care of it." ”

Hui Niang was also sold into the palace by her family back then, and it was naturally not easy for the little girl to make a living in the cannibalistic palace, but fortunately, she was cautious in her words and deeds, and she slowly got into a little female official.

It's a pity that the palace is not a safe place, and Hui Niang was involved in the struggle between Lan Guifei and the queen because of the favor of the Tong family, and almost died. Later, Ji Lingyun went out of the palace to build a mansion, and she invited herself to come to the palace to be a steward.

Bai Yanran nodded after hearing this, and said after a while: "Although Uncle Zheng is old, I don't think his temperament seems to be from ordinary people, especially that good handwriting is even rarer." I heard that even Mr. Pei is quite respectful, presumably Uncle Zheng was not a mediocre person in the past. ”

The smile on Ji Lingyun's lips completely disappeared, and he nodded: "Uncle Zheng...... Zheng Lao used to be a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and he was a classmate of Mrs. Lan, and he used to be infinitely beautiful. It's just that Zheng Lao has an upright temperament and acts too clearly and uprightly, which inevitably offends people.

After being framed by a traitor, the whole family was imprisoned, except for him, who was exiled. Later, although I and the imperial brother rehabilitated him, there was no one in Zheng's family, and I was sad and unwilling to return to the court, so I came to my house. ”

Without waiting for Bai Yanran to ask again, Ji Lingyun continued: "As for Aunt Shan, she is also a poor person. ”
