Chapter Forty-Eight: The Night Banquet in the Palace
The five mothers-in-law and Xiao Si who received the benefits of Liang Wangfu's message, seeing Chunyan's fate, were already shaking unpresently, and they only kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Dong was so angry that Chunyan's chest hurt, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Steward Hao, do things according to the rules, you can't spare ......"
Steward Hao immediately stepped forward and neatly sent down the five who saw the money, Lili Suosuo broke his leg and asked Yazi to take the four mothers-in-law and the five people and their families away and sell them.
In the past few years, the wife of the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, Dong, because of the involvement of the gatekeeper of the Guogong Mansion and the Liang Wangfu, reorganized the mansion.
The Dong family drastically replaced and adjusted the steward, and the porter was even more "heavily guarded".
Dong knows that the gateway of the Guogong Mansion is the first checkpoint of the Guogong Mansion, and there must be no more accidents.
King Liang had been waiting outside the corner gate, and Tong Ji heard the bustle in the corner gate and changed the mother-in-law and servant guarding the door, so he couldn't help but call the door but no one came to open the door.
After a few quarters of an hour, someone came to report to King Liang that the Guogong Mansion had sold a number of subordinates, and some were carried out bloody, King Liang's heart tightened, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to see Bai Qingyan today, so he asked people to go back to the house, and before leaving, he instructed Tong Ji: "You stay, find a way to contact Shangchunyan, and ask what happened to the Guogong Mansion." โ
"The little one understands!" Tong Ji nodded.
After going back, King Liang was restless, Tong Ji came back and said that the mother-in-law and servants who guarded the door of the Guogong Mansion had changed, and he stuffed the silver and asked someone to call Chunyan and no one dared to accept it, saying that the wife of the prince of the Guogong Mansion had just renovated the house, and no one dared to touch the mold at this time.
King Liang could only close his eyes and think of a way.

That night, Chun Xing, who took the position of Chunyan's eldest girl, stood beside Bai Qingyan obediently, and talked about Jiang Fengchun, the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong, who was put back by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion: "Later, the case was closed, saying that it was because the five marrying girls died first before they were removed from slavery, so they were still slaves when they died, and Mrs. Zhongyong Marquis was not guilty, so she let them go." โ
Bai Qingyan listened, dropped a piece on the chessboard, and nodded: "Got it, you go get busy!" โ
Chun Xing said yes, and when she saw Chun Tao come in with a curtain in her eyes, she withdrew from the upper room.
"Girl, the slave and maid are waiting for you to settle down!" Chun Tao has a strong nasal voice.
Bai Qingyan asked, "How is Chunyan?" โ
Chun Tao burst into tears again, guilt swelled in her heart, and she couldn't be killed with shame: "The doctor said that it is estimated that she will have to raise her for half a month, and the executed grandmother is still beaten lightly, even if she breaks her leg, it is not wronged!" โ
She only felt that such a spring peach was cute, and patted Chun Tao's hand: "Okay! I'm not angry, and don't be upset! Even if you don't intercede, I won't do anything to Chunyan, I still have a useful place to keep Chunyan, take good care of her, you just know this in your heart! โ
Chun Tao blinked her tearful eyes, and when she heard that the eldest girl was still useful in keeping Chunyan, she immediately seemed to be alive, and promised again and again: "Don't worry, the eldest girl, I will definitely not show it on my face, and I will not let Chunyan notice." โ
Today, Chun Tao heard Chun Yan tell King Liang so much of the girl's privacy, so Chun Yan didn't even have that half of the sympathy, so naturally she would follow what Bai Qingyan said.
Bai Qingxuan's mother and son, who have been nesting in the Qingming Courtyard, heard that there was a big battle in the Guogong Mansion today, and they sold more than 30 people and nearly 40 subordinates in the five families.
The woman was so frightened that she wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "I knew that it was better for An Ansheng to stay in that Zhuangzi, so we are a master." I thought I could enjoy happiness when I arrived at the Guogong Mansion, who knew that I would beat you like this before I entered the mansion, and now people are still watching us! People who kill people like this at every turn......"
"Okay, mother! Don't talk about it! Bai Qingxuan's wound was uncomfortable, and he was already annoyed when he could only lie on the bed, his eyes showed a fierce light, "When I get better, let's see!" โ

A few days ago, His Majesty rewarded Qin Lang with great fanfare, and it was clearly stated that Qin Lang was the son of the scholar clan, and the family in the capital city looked at the direction of the wind and detained his family at home to study hard.
In the past few days, the business of restaurants, tea shops, flower houses, and painting boats in the capital has become more and more bleak day by day, and those sons and daughters of families who are used to playing are also miserable at home.
It wasn't until the night banquet in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve that these gentlemen got together in name and told each other about the hardships at home these days. Qin Lang, who was also among the night banquets, was complained by the gentlemen who usually played together, and Qin Lang smiled and apologized one by one.
Bai Qingyan was taken by the eldest princess and sat on the lower right side of the emperor's and queen's high seats, and the king and princess Qi who were directly opposite immediately got up to greet the eldest princess.
I remember that in March of the sixteenth year of Xuanjia, that is, next year, the first thing King Qi did when he was crowned prince and entered the East Palace was to preside over the case of treason against Bai Weiting, the prince of Zhenguo.
With Liu Huanzhang's testimony, and the letters of Zhenguo Gong and the king of Nanyan County from the Bai family, the Bai family's guilt was decided in the hands of King Qi.
Later, King Qi, who was already the crown prince, pleaded for intercession in the hope of lightly dropping the Bai family's daughters, was reprimanded by the emperor, and was locked up in the East Palace to face the wall and think about it.
At that time, she also hated King Qi, and now that she wants to come to her previous life, the evidence is conclusive, and King Qi has his helplessness as the crown prince.
She helped the eldest princess to sit down, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Rongyan sitting on the seat behind King Qi, seeing Xiao Rongyan sitting calmly, she smiled lightly and bowed slightly to her, her palms tightened and lowered her eyes and sat upright, and she didn't know if Xiao Rongyan had received the news.
Xiao Rongyan sat in the seat behind King Qi, which shows that King Qi attaches great importance to Xiao Rongyan.
"Chun Tao......" she asked in a low voice with a handkerchief covering her lips, "Your cousin has delivered the letter?" โ
Chun Tao knelt beside her and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, girl, my cousin said that he asked a beggar to go to the door of the Xiao Mansion, and he only said that there was a letter to the housekeeper, and he saw the little beggar deliver the letter to the housekeeper!" The little beggar didn't know his cousin's identity either. โ
Chen Qingsheng relieved her of her affairs, Xiao Rongyan helped her a lot in her previous life, this time she ...... Hopefully one or two will be repaid.
Hearing the eunuch singing about the arrival of the emperor and the queen, she held back the hatred in her heart, and helped the eldest princess to get up and bow to greet her.
It seems that King Liang, who was lying on the couch because of his serious injury, has improved greatly, and the emperor seems to be in a particularly happy mood.
After taking a seat, she also raised her glass, a pair of clear and burning eyes...... Looking at the emperor who raised a glass to the world and congratulated the world with benevolence, righteousness and morality, his eyes were deep.
Xiao Rongyan saw Bai Qingyan's calm gaze at the Great Jin Emperor without any respect, he only felt interesting, and lowered his eyes to remember the eight-character note that the housekeeper showed him before entering the palace for the banquet - the palace banquet is ambushed, and there are ghosts in the Qi Mansion.
He raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup with the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Mosuo held the wine glass, raised his eyes to look at the King of Qi who was smiling at him, and smiled in return.
