Luo Qing was sick, and after seeing three people beaten to death in front of him, he had a high fever when he went back that night, and he talked nonsense again, crying and shouting to go home with his brother.

Qingxing and Hongmei were afraid that her words would be heard, so they didn't dare to ask a doctor outside casually, so they had to trouble Liu Xiao again.

Fortunately, Liu Xiao planned to do something for him in Beijing not long after Yan Huai returned to Beijing, but before he traveled far, Hongmei met him very smoothly and invited him to Fuzhong for diagnosis and treatment.

He listened for a long time and came to the conclusion that "I was frightened and worried too much, and then I had a high fever." ”

He frowned, "This girl is not small, how can she ......?"

When he mentioned this matter to Yan Huai, Yan Huai only replied to him.

"In the end, she is soft-hearted, and she only feels that she has a debtor."

But Yan Huai knew in her heart that not only that, but also because she thought about herself, she was afraid that she would be like these maids, like fluttering in the wind, and her life could not help herself.

He couldn't go to see her, but he couldn't let her go, so he only gave her a word.

"When the time comes, my brother will take you home, and there will be no outsiders at home."

His Prince Yi's mansion really doesn't have those dirty things, but there are quite a lot of ups and downs outside the mansion, and he is a little afraid that she won't be able to stand it in the future after he let people take it away.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, now he is also a person with weakness.

However, he can always protect her, and he wants to protect her desperately.

What's more, his Qingqing worked so hard, just hoping not to drag himself down, how could he retreat?

Luo Qing was sick of her heart, she had to figure it out by herself, she was okay after tossing and turning for half a month, and she was indeed more cautious than before.

She understands now, Song Yuanchun has never killed herself, not because she is lucky, but because Song Yuanchun's methods are not clever, and there is Aunt Wang in front of her, who she finds more eyesore, in front of her, she has not succeeded for a long time.

With his own virtue, if Song Yuanchun's methods were a little more clever, and there were more people at hand, I was afraid that he would have died a hundred and eighty times.

Only then did she feel a little afraid.

Now, in addition to going to Wanzhai to practice the art of silver needles, she occasionally goes to Shu Mansion to find songs to play, and from time to time she is taken away by Yan Huai at night to treat his eyes, most of them are buried in the pharmacy to develop drugs for Yan Huai to restore his eyes for a short time.

During this period, she heard Hongmei say that Luo Wen had punished Zhao Niangzi who served Song Yuanchun, and even the husband who took Zhao Niangzi was also taken away from the title of steward, and as for Song Yuanchun, he was also beaten by more than ten or twenty boards.

And Luo Ruyan was confined to home.

It's just that the three sons of Zhongyibo dislike the trouble of Luofu, and sent a matchmaker to kiss them, and they repeatedly refused to agree, and made such a incident, which is really the face of Zhongyibo's mansion.

For the sake of the three girls in the family who are still waiting to be married, Luo Wen has no choice but to bow his head and personally go to the door to lobby the three sons of Zhongyibo.

The three sons have no talent, one is greedy for money, one is lustful, and the other is inactive, all three of them are married, and the family is full of chickens and dogs all year round.

Luo Wen personally came to the door to say goodbye, so as not to be ridiculed by them, but in the end, he was a household servant, and he still had some power in his hands, and in the end they agreed, but the dowry was not too much.

In fact, if according to Luo Wen's previous love for Luo Ruyan, although he still has too much to prepare these dowries, he will not be too distressed, and he can't bear to be disappointed in Luo Ruyan now, so he naturally feels that it is not worth it.

But he always had to plan for the three small things in the family, and in the end he nodded his head.

Since this marriage has been decided, in order to prevent changes, and also afraid of gossip outside, the two families plan to let the two get married after the Lantern Festival.

The days are flickering, and it is another year, but most of the powerful families in the capital do not dare to do a big deal during the Spring Festival this year, because of internal and external troubles, the emperor is in a very bad mood.

In fact, the emperor doesn't have much real power, the queen mother and the queen mother's family have already set him up, he is just a puppet caught in it, and it is inevitable that he will be angry, let him be angry, and he will not be able to be the master of political affairs in the end.

But this year is different, Prince Yi is back.

Not to mention that Prince Yi looked at the uncertain behavior of standing on the side of the Empress Dowager and as if he was standing on the emperor's side, just because he had the feat of going to the door to ask for money at a good time during the Spring Festival, it made all the emperor's relatives and ministers tremble.

Many people have vivid memories of what happened.

At that time, the border was also in an emergency, and the treasury was tight, so Prince Yi was sure which family had a grand New Year's Festival, and people would go to which, saying that it was a shortage of military salaries, and asked them to donate some soft money.

What else did he say that the people in the capital were lively and lively, but the officers and soldiers in the barracks were lonely and cold, anyway, he was gentle and gentle, so that they had nothing to say, so they had to pay the money obediently.

Now there are homeless riots due to the drought in Rongzhou, and there are Xiongnu eyeing the Daqi border, which is really not peaceful.

Do they have to clamp their tails even more?

Otherwise, Prince Yi will come back to do the same trick again, and they don't want to repeat the nightmare of the past!

In order to set an example, the emperor's royal banquet this year is also simple.

Yan Huai didn't care about this, he only drank two cups during the banquet, thinking that Qingqing had sent a letter to him early, saying that he had prepared a New Year's gift for himself, and he didn't know what it was, so he was a little eager to try it for a while.

And he also prepared a New Year's gift for his Qingqing, which was a pair of earrings, pink and white, and the appearance was according to the pear blossoms that were waiting to be released, which matched the hairpin he gave Qingqing before.

It's easy to survive this royal banquet where you come and go, and the Queen Mother keeps him again.

Whoever keeps him can refuse, but the Empress Dowager can't refuse.

At that time, his mother was killed, although the emperor loved him, lest he was busy with government affairs and had many omissions, he was still often bullied, it was the empress dowager who was still the queen at that time who kept him by his side to raise him, sheltering him from the wind and rain, like his other mother.

He loved her very much.

The Empress Dowager looks quite kind, her eyebrows are full of gentleness, which makes it easy for people to get close, but with a dress embroidered with a phoenix soaring, and the golden phoenix headdress on her head, every move is elegant and generous, point to stop, inexplicably and prohibitive, only to feel that such a graceful and luxurious person is inviolable.

Yan Huai went to the Changle Palace where the Empress Dowager lived, and hurriedly made a big gift with her, "The son is unforgivable, he has not been born to accompany his mother for such a long time after returning to Beijing, and the queen mother should not be blamed." ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes were red, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him up, "Isn't the mourning family afraid that you will leave the palace early, so I hurriedly asked someone to stop you, today is the Spring Festival, you have to talk to the mourning family." ”

Yan Huai listened to the crying voice of the Empress Dowager, and said movingly, "It's the fault of the sons, don't be sad about the queen mother." ”

The Empress Dowager spoke carefully for a long time, and then looked at his eyes that were not yet very bright, and said with regret, "Your eyes are all bad for the queen mother, and you can't stop the emperor from ......."

As she spoke, she became more and more sad.

Yan Huai shook his head lightly, "It's all over, don't mention it anymore after the queen mother, now the son is also good, but it's okay." ”

"Yes, yes, the queen mother won't mention it." The Empress Dowager pulled Yan Huai to the table where the meal was set and sat down, "You must have suffered outside in the past few years, you have lost a lot of weight, you must not be able to eat much at this royal banquet, and the mourning family has prepared some meals for you." ”

The smile on the corner of Yan Huai's mouth was a little thicker than before, and he was obviously happy.

But at this moment, someone from outside came to report that the emperor was coming, and the smile on his face instantly retracted a little, and turned into a mask that he was accustomed to wearing outside.

He knew that this meal was not simple, and it was set up by the Empress Dowager to ease the relationship between him and the emperor, and she was biased towards the emperor.

At the end of the day, she still didn't believe him, she didn't know him.

Since he was determined to return to Beijing, he agreed to her request to help the emperor, and she didn't have to do anything else.

Even though he was full of melancholy in his heart, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he got up leisurely and saluted the emperor, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Uncle Huang doesn't have to be polite." The emperor and the empress dowager saluted, and said to Yan Huai, "Today is a real family banquet, don't be restrained by the imperial uncle, sit down quickly." ”

Yan Huai bowed slightly, and the big lama sat down, but he was not polite, and even unceremoniously found the emperor unhappy.

"Since it's a family banquet, why don't you see the Queen Mother? I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will be unhappy when she hears this. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people present were not good.

In fact, the three of them all know that the current queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother at all, but the emperor's father, the continuation of the crown prince who has no chance of the throne and goes one step ahead of the emperor.

The Queen Mother had a son in her early years, but the child was frail and sickly since he was a child, and later died young.

It stands to reason that the current emperor should be raised by her, but after only a month by her side, the Empress Dowager took the emperor away and raised her personally, which made her have nothing to say.

In this way, it is reasonable that the emperor is not close to the queen mother.

Yan Huai's words really inserted into the emperor's heart, and even the queen mother was affected.

The atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more embarrassing, and the emperor's face was also extremely ugly, and in the end, the queen mother came out to play a round.

"After all these years, Thirteen, you're getting more and more fond of jokes."

The smile on the corner of Yan Huai's mouth remained unchanged, but his heart was full of emotion, and the Empress Dowager treated him more and more politely.

"It's Thirteen's fault, this Spring Festival, you shouldn't make these jokes."

"Uncle Huang is also wrong, hasn't Uncle Huang always been right?"

The emperor said sarcastically.

The Empress Dowager did not expect this to persuade Yan Huai, and the emperor did not hesitate, so she had to round the atmosphere and said, "This is a real Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, don't say more, come and come, let's eat quickly." ”
