Chinese New Year's Eve is coming.

From the whole capital to the nobles and the common people, they finally forgot about the invasion of Beidi for the time being and entered the festive New Year's carnival. The street is plunged into a sea of red and bustle.

Zhong Huan made an appointment with King Lotus and King Xi to have a small gathering in Maoji.

Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the two important figures in the clan were idle, as long as they followed Emperor Yongxi to the sacrificial banquet at night.

"Actually, in previous years, we were going to be busy this morning. However, this year, the situation is different, and the Ministry of Rites has reduced many small items, so that the two of us have this free time. ”

King Xi looked at the tea bowl in the hand of the Lotus King, and finally raised his glass and took a sip of wine, indicating that it was still delicious.

King Lotus smiled and only asked him, "How is the princess?" ”

"At eight and a half months, my stomach was about to become a balloon. Now the scorpion stings every day, and everyone thinks that they were sent to harm her and her children. Except for me and a few handmaidens who served closely, even the imperial physician came to invite Ping An Mai to stare at people like bells. ”

Speaking of this, King Xi was very sad, "When she is born, I am afraid that the whole capital will see the joke." ”

The Lotus King smiled dumbly.

Zhong Huan pointed at him: "Don't laugh at people first." When your Fanmei also arrives this month, you see if she will become like this. ”

"Don't say this, don't say this. Zhong Lang called us to come, dare to really just want to be loose? ”

King Lotus hurriedly diverted the topic.

Today's Zhong Phantom is completely different from the past, that romantic and lazy, and it is gone. Instead, there is a stunned expression that wanders out of the world at every turn, and a heavy heart written on his face.

King Xi and King Lotus had already discovered this, so they chatted some gossip first. However, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Zhong Phantom getting to the point. Looking at the sky, the Lotus King had to ask first.

Zhong Huan was silent again, and after a while, Fang said: "At the Yuanzheng banquet tomorrow, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

King Lotus and King Xi were both shocked, subconsciously sat up straight at the same time, and asked in unison, "Han ...... Ready to do it? ”

"It's not." Zhong Huan sighed softly, raised his eyes to look at the clouds floating in the sky outside the window, and after a while, Fang said, "Probably, Your Majesty is going to do it." ”

"Your Majesty?!" King Xi's eyes widened, "What does he want to do?" Who are you going to move? The Yuanzheng banquet is the most important face of the imperial court, how can he ......"

"Rokuro!" King Lotus hurriedly stopped his words, glanced at Zhong Huan again, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is Your Majesty sure?" ”

"People like him think they are foolproof. As for those of us, now that we already know what he means, such a critical moment will naturally make his false foolproof become real foolproof. ”

Zhong Huan smiled bitterly, took the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all.

In that case, then just do it. Why is there a hint of bitterness on Zhong Lang's face?

King Xi and King Lotus looked at each other.

"Tomorrow, the princess or don't enter the palace? Let the ghost Shi Duoxiang in your field stay in the palace to take care of her, and I will send two women to go over to protect her. ”

Zhong Huan said weakly - this is the most important purpose for him to invite these two people here today.

At tomorrow's feast, the sword has no eyes. According to the temperament of the second fool in their family, I am afraid that the life of the Empress Dowager Shen will also be protected, and the big-bellied woman of Princess Xi will also be protected; Coupled with something new and slight, I am afraid that she will take care of one thing and lose the other, but hurt herself.

King Lian thought for a while and didn't mention Princess Feng.

On this occasion, it is forgivable for Princess Xi not to go, but if Princess Feng does not go, I am afraid that Emperor Yongxi will be suspicious, and it will not be good. When the time comes, let the mother hide by the side of the Empress Dowager Shen or Empress Pan.

"Then ...... outside" King Lian wanted to ask if the defenses in other parts of the capital had been arranged, but he choked again.

If this matter is ordered by Emperor Yongxi, then the father and son of the Pan family, who are in charge of the Praetorian Guard, must have already received their will. If they and others rashly intervene, they will startle the snake, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Don't worry about it. A while ago, the old man Yan said in the palace that the capital will not be quiet this winter, and our family is stupid...... Lord Shen asked us to connect with the Pan family. ”

Although Zhong Huan said that everyone was reassured, the expression on his face became more and more annoyed.

King Xi kept looking at him inquiringly, and when he finished speaking, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "I said, what's wrong with you?" Looking like you're going to die? Who have you been given to treat your illness recently? Or, is our sister having an awkward relationship with you? ”

"None of them. Don't think about it. Zhong Huan said listlessly, paused, and asked King Xi with annoyance: "The prince refuses to step into the court, do you think that the so-called major events of the family and the country and the court are actually nonsense?" ”

King Xi was stunned by his question, laughed a little unnaturally, took a sip of wine, and said, "It's a little ......."

Zhong Huan turned to the Lotus King again: "Then what do you think?" ”

"The world is the human heart. The human heart is the world. Hasn't Zhong Lang always liked to look at people's hearts the most? Why did you suddenly get bored with the world's major events? When the Qian family raised food and grass, what kind of people did they meet? ”

The Lotus King's eyebrows almost flew up. Looking at what he meant, if Zhong Huan nodded at this time and said yes, the Lotus County King, who has always been as gentle as jade, is afraid that he will immediately transform into an angry King Kong.

But Zhong Huan froze, and after a while, Fang Yi shook his head: "No." It's just that looking at flies and dogs like the Yu family, I suddenly feel that it's extremely boring. ”

Yu?

Does it mean the remaining six in the Han Mansion? Or do you refer to the few people who arrived in the small long house of the Yu family in the capital? Or - Yu Sheng is making trouble again?

King Xi and King Lotus glanced at each other, but neither made a sound.

After all, it is the Yu family who was born in Lizhu, and they don't want to comment more behind their backs.

After hesitating again and again, King Xi said tentatively: "Do you know about the Yu family's affairs?" ”

Zhong Huan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Tell her everything that matters." There are some details, she doesn't know. Listening to it is also adding to the blockage. Under the New Year, she still has to serve the Queen Mother and entertain the wife, which is annoying enough. ”

When he said this, the king laughed and shook his head again and again: "Our sister seems to have been born in the palace. In the past few palace banquets, I have heard and witnessed that she is at ease. To deal with that kind of scene, I don't know how many times stronger than the one in our family! ”

"That's right. Lizhu is not timid on any occasion, which is really rare. The Lotus King followed with a compliment.

But when they said this, Zhong Huan frowned more and more unpleasantly: "She is a wild girl from the mountains and grasses. Why don't you get nervous on that occasion? You two are not allowed to talk about her like this in front of others in the future, and then it will be inexplicably not to be singled out. ”

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
