In the Western Chu Imperial Palace, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet had not yet begun, and Xiao Yunwei sat in the Hongzheng Hall, feeling that this year's earth dragon seemed to be burning extremely hot.

Xiao Yunwei swept around the hall, because there was still a period of time before the banquet, so there were not many people coming, and the first few ladies of the family gathered together to talk, she was not familiar with these people, and she had no intention of saying anything more to them, so she stood up and walked out.

When Xiao Yunwei walked out of the Hongzheng Hall, she breathed a long sigh of relief, she was really uncomfortable in that environment. Fortunately, Daddy hasn't come yet, otherwise she would definitely say that her departure was undignified.

Xiao Yunwei was thinking about walking around the Hongzheng Hall where there were fewer people, so that she could come back in time and hide quietly.

Xiao Yunwei walked on the stone road, there were no palace people passing by, and a cold feeling suddenly rose in her heart, and the Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years seemed to have never been so deserted.

From last year to this year, too many things have happened, and now the second prince, the crown prince, and the crown princess are far away in Feng'an, the queen is grounded in Weiyang Palace, and the virtuous concubine can't come out, and the second princess can't enter the palace.

Wen Xize's attitude is unpredictable now, everyone is in danger, even if he comes to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, he is also worried, where is there any joy to speak of?

Now in the capital, the most majestic person should be the eldest prince.

Xiao Yunwei sighed in her heart, thinking about it carefully, she hadn't seen Wen Zhiqian for a long time. Since Wen Zhiqian left Beijing, Wen Zhiqian has rarely gone out, but she asked someone to send her a lot of books, but she didn't see Wen Zhiqi, Xiao Yunwei was still not at ease.

At this moment, Xiao Yunwei suddenly heard the sound of talking on the other side of the rockery, the voice was familiar to her, and she couldn't help but stop and listen carefully.

"I haven't had time to thank you before you helped me so much."

"I'm already happy to be able to help the princess. I haven't seen you for a long time, the princess looks a lot thinner, is someone in the palace deliberately embarrassing you? ”

"How so?"

"I still know some things, now the harem is in charge of Concubine Shugui, Concubine Shu is not in harmony with the queen, you were raised by the queen, she will definitely embarrass you in various ways. If only the queen could come out as soon as possible. ”

"You think too much, I'm also a princess of a country, how can I let a little concubine despise me? However, what the queen mother did last time did anger her father, and her father has not lost his anger yet, so you must not anger your father at this time. ”

"I'm worried about you, too."

"If you're really worried about me, don't worry about the queen mother. The queen mother has been in the harem for so many years, has she seen less winds and waves? This time, the queen mother will be able to save the day, so it's good if we don't help. ”

"It's still a princess who is smart. By the way, princess, a new jade pavilion has recently opened outside the palace, which is very popular. I saw that this pair of jade bracelets was good, and I specially bought you a pair, do you like it? ”

Wen Miqing should have taken the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully: "I like it very much, thank you." It's just that this jade bracelet looks good, and you broke the bank. ”

"As long as the princess likes it."

Xiao Yunwei probably heard it, it was Wen Miqing and Qi Min, but when did Qi Min get in touch with Wen Miqing? And from the conversation between the two people, Xiao Yunwei heard some different meanings.

There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, Xiao Yunwei didn't plan to listen to it anymore, she turned around and wanted to leave, but she accidentally stepped on a stone, and the stone rolled to the side, making a slight movement, which immediately attracted Qi Min's attention.

Xiao Yunwei hurriedly trotted away to the side, but was still seen by Wen Miqing and Qi Min, and Qi Min's face darkened: "Will she say it?" ”

"Don't worry, she won't dare."

"I'm worried that if she says it, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."

"Xiao Yunwei has always been pretentious and high-minded, and she disdains to be in the company of others, even if she wants to say it, who can she tell her?" Wen Miqing is still very confident in this.

After Xiao Yunwei went back, she sat down in her seat, still feeling palpitated, and she was a little absent-minded during the whole dinner process.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was indeed not as lively as in previous years, and Wen Xize probably didn't think it was interesting, and soon let everyone go back.

Xiao Yunwei walked out, and suddenly heard someone shouting to herself: "Miss Xiao." ”

Xiao Yunwei stopped, it was Wen Zhiyan: "Fifth Highness." ”

Wen Zhiqian asked, "Miss Xiao, you look a little uneasy tonight, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yunwei didn't expect Wen Zhiyu to actually notice that something was wrong with her: "It's nothing, I just feel that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is a little calm, and I am not used to it for a while." ”

"It's a pity for us that the prince is not here this year, but it's not necessarily a good thing for him." Now that Lianzhi is accompanying Wen Zhiyu, and he is far away in Feng'an, it should be a rare purity.

Xiao Yunwei understood what Wen Zhiqian meant: "Your Highness, you shouldn't have gone out for a long time, right?" ”

"Well, at the end of the year, the whole capital is not peaceful, so it's better to be careful."

"What Your Highness said is very true. His Royal Highness sent the book to the courtiers a few days ago, and the courtiers will let people return it after reading it. ”

"No need, you're so alive." Wen Zhiyan saw that the time was not early, and said, "You go back first, be careful on the road." ”

"Yes." After Xiao Yunwei walked away, Wen Zhiqian saw that on the other side, Wen Yunxi was talking to Ji Wanyi, and Ji Nanyi was listening beside the two.

"Yunxi." Wen Zhiqian walked over and shouted, Ji Nanyi and Ji Wanyi shouted: "Fifth Highness." ”

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Wanyi told me some things outside the palace, and when Wanyang comes back, I'm going to take her out of the palace for a walk."

Wen Zhiqian shook his head a little helplessly: "Go back tonight and rest early, and I will go to my father early tomorrow morning to say goodbye." ”

"Fifth brother, I'll accompany you to say goodbye to the concubine, I'm worried that the concubine is still looking for you."

"Okay."

After Wen Zhiqian responded, Wen Yunxi asked Ji Wanyi and Ji Nanyi to go back to the palace first, watching Wen Zhiqian and Wen Yunxi leave, Ji Wanyi spoke: "Brother, His Royal Highness Fifth doesn't seem to like you very much." ”

"It's not that His Royal Highness doesn't like me, it's that he doesn't like me approaching the sixth princess."

"Brother, what did you do to make His Royal Highness the Fifth guard against you like this?"

"It's normal for the Fifth Highness to have a protective heart for the Sixth Princess, and I just hope that the Sixth Princess will be fine in the future, and nothing else matters."

Ji Wanyi sighed: "Let's go home first." ”

"Hmm." Ji Nanyi and Ji Wanyi walked outside the palace, at the gate of the palace, the two got into the carriage, Ji Nanyi looked back at the magnificent palace before getting into the car, thinking in his heart, I am afraid that soon, this palace will change.

On the way back, Ji Nanyi kept quiet, and Ji Wanyi couldn't help but ask: "Brother, Gu Shiqi came to you two days ago, what did you two say in the study, after discussing it for so long, my face was still very solemn when I saw Gu Shiqi come out." ”

"After holding it for a few days, I finally asked?" Ji Nanyi teased.

Ji Wanyi smiled and didn't answer, Ji Nanyi continued: "Gu Shiqi is the most well-informed, and the prince basically contacts the capital through Gu Shiqi. The prince asked Gu Shiqi to come to me this time, just because he didn't want to implicate His Royal Highness and Concubine Shu. ”

"But what does the prince want to tell you?"

"Let me be mentally prepared, don't make any moves during this time, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion."

"You mean Pingbohou Mansion?" Ji Wanyi's mind was clear, and she quickly guessed Wen Zhiyi's deep meaning.

Ji Nan nodded: "Now in the capital, whoever jumps the most will be the worst in the future." ”

Ji Wanyi's mood couldn't help but feel a lot heavier, it seemed that Feng'an's affairs were very involved, and Emperor Chu was really angry this time.

In the palace, Wen Xize walked to the gate of Weiyang Palace, looked at the closed palace gate, didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards Qianchun Palace.

Li Sheng and Xiao Quanzi both followed behind Wen Xize, and when they saw Wen Xize's move, Li Sheng suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, if you are worried about the queen, it's not that you can't go in and take a look." ”

Wen Xize's eyes changed suddenly: "Li Sheng, are you more and more able to speculate about my mind now?" ”

Li Sheng immediately shut up, and Xiao Quanzi opened his mouth to relieve Li Sheng: "The emperor must be used to staying in Weiyang Palace on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Listening to Xiao Quanzi's words, Wen Xize's tone softened a lot: "Yes, the rules set by the ancestors, but unfortunately they are broken when I come here." ”

Luo Xuanrande is not worthy of the position, and now she is just a nominal queen, in the matter of the queen, Wen Xize feels ashamed of his ancestors.

"Maybe I shouldn't have been so impulsive back then." Wen Xize sighed, Xiao Quanzi didn't understand the meaning, but Li Sheng had experienced those things himself, so he naturally understood Wen Xize's meaning, and the alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart.
