The sound of firecrackers had subsided for a while, and the silence was even more unbearable in the middle of the night.

Xu Yuan looked at the shadows of the dead trees swaying on the ground, her heart was pulled together, and she didn't want to do it anymore, she confessed her mistake to Shaotang in one go, she accidentally dozed off just now, please forgive the ancestors of the Ran family, please forgive the eldest son, please forgive the Buddha.

Shaotang just wanted her not to trouble herself, but when she saw that she had already softened, he said, "Xu Yuan, there are still two or three hours before dawn." We don't interfere with each other, you sleep outside the door, and I kneel mine inside. Got it? ”

The Chinese New Year's Eve let go of the firecrackers, and the masters went to rest as usual. The slaves who keep the year are either playing cards or eating wine, and no one will come here to watch. Looking at the eldest prince's attitude towards Mrs. Chen just now, she didn't dare to really go toe-for-tat with her.

Xu Yuan readily agreed.

Shaotang pursed his lips in satisfaction and ordered: "Go and help me carry the thick quilt on the bed, and get some food." "I'm full and sleep comfortably, and I'm going to pay a New Year's greeting to my mother tomorrow.

Xu Yuan trembled her legs to run errands, and after grinding for a long time, she mustered up the courage to return to the ancestral hall.

I saw that the eldest prince had already put a few futons together and fell asleep on them.

He was already covered with a quilt. It is estimated that Yan Jiang went and returned to send it.

She had the courage to scream twice, and Ran Shaotang, who heard the movement, reached out and dragged the quilt onto the futon as a mattress. He took a plate of pastries from her hand before motioning for her to go out.

Xu Yuan couldn't wait to leave quickly, so she turned around and left. I only listened to the eldest prince who was gnawing osmanthus cake behind him: "Close the door." ”

Xu Yuan closed the heavy black lacquer door with both hands, and when there was only a gap left, the ghost envoy looked at the altar, and the candle that had been extinguished before was lit again.

She snorted and pushed the door shut from the outside.

Mrs. Ran couldn't sleep, and Ran Wen, who was already asleep, also woke up.

"Ruoxian, why don't you sleep yet?"

Mrs. Ran simply sat up in her clothes, looked at the heavy night outside the window, and told her husband that she was full of worries: "Shaotang is making such a fuss, and we can't avoid tomorrow's banquet." ”

Ran Wen also sat up, took Mrs. Ran's hand, and reassured: "Tomorrow is my husband, what are you afraid of." Your Majesty is just curious about the appearance and temperament of the two children now, just show him. You don't have to worry. After the feast, we will go home. It's going to be fine. ”

Mrs. Ran wanted to refute that his banquet tomorrow was comparable to the Hongmen banquet, but when she raised her eyes to meet his eyes, she stopped and didn't want to say any more.

He was also heartbroken for the sake of this family, and he couldn't let him worry anymore.

Before going to bed, Yan Jiang had already come over to inform Shaotang that the settlement was in place, and Shao Shang, who was shouting to go to the ancestral hall to accompany her brother, was also driven back to her courtyard by her, she thought that the eldest princess smiled meaningfully today, and always felt that there would be danger at the imperial banquet tomorrow.

But even if you know that there are mountain tigers, you have to go to Tiger Mountain.

Shaotang, this kid...... It's really good intentions to do bad things.

She didn't want to think about it anymore, now that it had come to this, she just had to face it.

Before dawn the next day, Ran Shaotang was woken up by Fu's mother.

Although it was cold in the ancestral hall, she slept very comfortably for the first time.

"Where's Xu Yuan?" She walked outside, and there was no one staring at her, not like an old lady's style.

Yan Jiang smiled secretly and whispered in her ear: "I heard that I was taken away by someone." ”

Ran Shaotang scratched his head, this matter seemed to have nothing to do with her. The guts are too small.

"I'm going to the martial arts arena."

Yan Jiang grabbed her: "Don't go today, go and prepare to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet." ”

"Palace banquet?" In the first life, she didn't remember it. In other words, there was no such thing as participating in the palace banquet at all.

Don't.......

She suddenly remembered the abnormal scene of her father and mother yesterday.

In the first life, after my mother was punished by the old lady, I and my brother stayed with my mother throughout the New Year and did not go out.

She suddenly realized, no wonder her mother's eyes were quite complicated when she looked at her, and her father looked at herself more like a fool...... It's as if she's done something bad with good intentions.

"Mother Fu, I have a way to make my mother suddenly feel sick."

I don't know if this can be remedied.

I had long heard that Emperor Gao Xi was looking for a chance to see the Ran family's son, and she, the person who helped him lose the bet, was actually sent to the door this time.

Yan Jiang shook his head: "No." If your method had worked, your mother would have used it a long time ago. Being too deliberate made His Majesty even more suspicious. ”

Ran Shaotang thinks about it, and now since he can't hide, he won't hide.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and act when the opportunity arises.

Although the palace banquet is scheduled for the evening, all the courtiers and their families who participate in the palace banquet must dress up early and wait outside the palace gate in advance.

The eldest princess asked people to talk, and asked Ran Shaotang and Ran Shaoshang to enter the palace with her to meet the queen mother.

Yu Ruoxian made all the words that should be instructed clear to the two of them, and asked Shaoshang's Fu Mu Yueniang and her personal maid Huaguan to accompany her to the eldest princess's mansion.

The back garden of the Ran Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion is connected. Separated by a courtyard wall.

The brother and sister entered through the corner gate in the back garden, and then passed through Merlin before they arrived at the courtyard where the eldest princess lived.

The two were led into the main hall by the little yellow door, and the little yellow door invited the two of them to sit down and said, "The eldest princess is still dressing up, please wait for the eldest prince and the daughter-in-law." ”

Immediately after someone served hot tea and delicate pastries.

Ran Shaotang and his little sister Shaoshang glanced at each other, and they tacitly did not touch these things.

I remember when I was a child, once the two of them were forced by Mrs. Ran to greet the eldest princess, Shaoshang ate salty in the morning, couldn't stand the thirst, couldn't help but drink a small half cup of tea, and had diarrhea for three days after going back.

Since then, Ran Shaotang has worked harder and harder to learn medical and poison arts, eager to protect his family.

Although afterwards, Ran punished her youngest daughter Ran Shaoxuan for poisoning, Shaotang still felt angry and taught her a lesson.

In fact, half-brothers are also blood relatives, so there is really no need for the family to turn against each other.

However, this Ran Shaoxuan is too much like her mother, the eldest prince Xuanyuan Xiang, who is trying to harm her brother and sister with different mothers anytime and anywhere at a young age.

Shaotang can't tolerate such a person, so as long as that little girl makes a move and lets her find out, she will definitely fight back fiercely.

As soon as Ran Wen mentioned the matter of his four children, he was in a lawsuit.

He also once persuaded Ran Shaotang and Ran Shaoshang not to worry about each other, but to love each other.

was asked by Ran Shaotang rhetorically: "Has Father ever told that little bastard these truths?" There is no reason for the victim to unconditionally forgive the victim, right? If Father wants to make the family harmonious, Brother Gong and Brother Qian will educate that little one first, and then it will not be too late to train the two of us. ”

Her anger with a gun and a stick was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.

However, he knew that what Ran Shaotang said made sense, so he had to swallow the breath in his heart.

Although Ran Shaoxuan was born to the eldest princess, he was also his own flesh and blood, and he was reluctant to fight with the palms and backs of his hands.
