The palace banquet was held as scheduled, and Empress Zheng appeared as if nothing had happened and presided over the palace banquet. It's just that until the end of the banquet, Princess Fu and Concubine Peng never showed up again.

No one asked, and everyone seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of these two people, even their mother's family.

At the banquet, there was a staggered mix of chips and laughter, as usual.

It seems that the incident that happened in the Imperial Garden, the child who did not have the opportunity to come to this world, is just a dream.

Due to the war on the front line, Empress Zheng took the lead in reducing the use of the palace, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no large-scale fireworks.

Instead, prayer lanterns were placed on the edge of the river.

Headed by the emperor and queen, he put a sky lantern to pray for the peace of the country and the people, and the border will be peaceful as soon as possible.

Others followed suit. After a while, above the royal river, there are stars, like countless colorful stars shining like the Milky Way, which is thrillingly beautiful.

With the rising sky lanterns and the colorful lights floating all over the river, the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet has finally come to an end.

When I returned home, there was still a family dinner, but it was much more relaxed.

Without the suffocating deceit in the palace, it seems that this home, which is not so peaceful everywhere, has suddenly become warm.

When it was a child, in the entire Fengjing City, the sound of firecrackers was still the same as in previous years. The war on the frontier, to the people of Fengjing City, seems to be far away in the sky, out of reach.

Pei Jinzhen made a wish sincerely in the sound of firecrackers, and he wished to get it, but it was only peaceful as soon as possible, and the Haiyan River was clear.

The Chinese New Year is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun, and visiting everywhere. Although they seem to have an extra banquet as a façade than ordinary people, there is not much difference inside.

The left is just between relatives and friends, today's treat, tomorrow's treat. People, or those people, eat something, no matter how delicious it is, in the future, they can't eat it.

However, among them, I unexpectedly received a letter from Xiao Lingxi, which was just some gossip, a cover letter, and a bottle of rose dew was given to her.

This is a rare object, Pei Jinzhen naturally accepted it gladly, and gave back two boxes of newly made snacks to resist frost.

People come and go, and only when they come can they go. After the events of that day, she felt that Xiao Lingxi was really as kind of as Yuan Qingluo said, although he was a little willful, but he was not happy, and he could also intersect.

Since everyone has shown favor first, she definitely doesn't have the reason to keep tense, after all, whether it is from Yuan Ke or Yan Chong, it is a good thing that they can get along well.

On this day, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Xiao Lingxi wrote back to her again. In the letter, he first thanked Pei Jinzhen for his dim sum, saying that the taste was very special and delicious, and asked her how to make it.

This is no problem, Pei Jinzhen thought about writing one to her when he replied.

The letter was written for two pages, the previous page, talking about snacks, and talking about her father's second cousin in the past two days, saying that he would not return to Fengjing City for the New Year. She always felt that her father was so good to Yan Er's cousin that she couldn't help but want to eat it.

Pei Jinzhen kept smiling until he turned the letter and saw the end of the next page, but the smile on his face faded a little.

On that day, the affairs of the palace were finally decided. Accidentally...... Princess Fu's child is not blessed, because of an accident, it is gone. Concubine Peng was present, what did she have to do with it, she was punished and grounded for three months, and Empress Zheng gave King Fu two more beauties in order to appease King Fu.

Princess Fu was physically damaged and overly sad, and it is said that she ...... In the future, I am afraid that the heirs will be much more difficult.

Although Empress Zheng ordered to hide this matter from Princess Fu, she probably knew about it, so she washed her face with tears all day long.

Xiao Lingxi went to see her once, but she felt that her chest was suffocating, and after that, she never looked at her again.

After Princess Fu's accident, she has been kept in the side hall of Fengzao Palace, and now, I am afraid that she will have to move back to Fuwang's Mansion to raise her.

Pei Jinzhen closed the letterhead, his eyes darkened slightly, in fact, such an ending was not so unexpected!

Regardless of whose handiwork it is, the purpose has been achieved.

Pei Jinzhen stayed in the room for a while, and then he personally laid out the paper and ink, and replied to Xiao Lingxi.

In the letter, only the pastry recipe was mentioned, and in addition, there was some gossip. As for Princess Fu's matter, he didn't mention half a word.

As soon as the envelope was sealed and sent out, Mama Yuan walked in quickly and said, "Girl, Miss Luomei is here, saying that Mrs. has something to do, please go to the main courtyard." ”

"Is there something wrong with my mother looking for me at this time?" Pei Jinzhen had doubts in his heart, and asked casually while walking towards the main courtyard.

"When the master came back, his face was a little bad, and he closed the door and said a few words to his wife, and the wife asked the slave to come and invite the girl over." Luomei responded.

Pei Jinzhen's eyes flashed, but his eyebrows frowned tighter.

Pei Jinzhen thought about it carefully, but she couldn't think of a reason, she shouldn't have done anything to make her father angry recently, right?

When he just lifted the curtain and stepped into the threshold of the upper room in the main courtyard, Xiao Yuan hurriedly greeted him.

She has always been calm, but this time her steps and complexion are difficult to hide her impatience.

And Pei Jinzhen raised his eyes and saw that in the room, not only Xiao Yuan and Pei Shiqin, but even Pei Jinhuan and Pei Jinfeng were there. What's going on?

Xiao Yuan took her hand, and as he walked inside, he asked, "Has Yan Ergongzi ever written in the past few days?" ”

He opened his mouth and asked Yan Chong? Pei Jinzhen's eyes flashed slightly, she did not deliberately hide the correspondence between her and Yan Chong, and Xiao Yuan naturally knew about it. "I just got one a few days ago."

"Can he mention the border in his letter?" This time, the one who suddenly asked the question was replaced by Pei Shiqin.

Pei Jinzhen shook his head, "He will never mention war with me." What's wrong? But what happened at the border? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, Yan Chong likes to report good news and not bad news, isn't there something wrong at the border?

"It's hard to say what happened now. Today, my father went out to an appointment, drank with a few colleagues, and listened to them talk about yesterday, His Majesty was furious in the imperial study, and threw a paperweight, and between the conversations, it seemed to mention the border war. After my father found out, he was uneasy, so he thought about asking you, maybe what clues would be revealed in the letter to you from the second son of Yan. On the side, Pei Jinhuan explained the matter in a few words.

Then, he turned to Pei Shiqin and said, "Father, don't worry too much. The left and right are just rumors, and what is going on is still unclear. Let's not mess with ourselves. ”

The yamen will not be printed until the tenth day of the first month. But Emperor Yonghe is a Ming monarch, he has always been diligent in political affairs, hard work, as early as the third day of the first month, he began to summon ministers to discuss.

Now because of a marriage edict, Yan Chong has become the quasi-son-in-law of the Pei family. If there is any change at the border pass, the first thing to bear the brunt is the Jing'an Hou Mansion and Yan Chong's father and son, so Pei Shiqin is so concerned.
