After half a year of calm, Daqi's national strength has recovered.

After the New Year, Empress Yang finally gave birth to a son.

Xiao Ju was overjoyed and announced an amnesty for the world. named his son Xiao Ye, which means to complete the great cause of dominating the world.

At the same time, Wei Ran's daughter Wei Hongxiang was also connected to the palace and raised by the palace, and it was rumored that Wei Hongxiang would be the crown princess in the future.

This also expresses Xiao Ju's position at this time from the side, he and Wei Ran are not only brothers, but also in-laws in the future.

Today is Xiao Ye's 100-day banquet, so all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty entered the palace to celebrate.

Wei Ran wore a python robe, came to the outside of Taicheng, and after getting off the carriage, after helping Xiao Yanran out of the carriage, he was ready to go to Heqing Pond in Taicheng, which is the place of Xiao Ye's 100-day banquet today.

Along the way, both the officials of the southern party and the northern faction had to stop and salute Wei Ran.

Although there were smiles on their faces, Wei Ran knew that they must be extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.

However, he didn't take it to heart, in the past six months above the court, the southern party and the northern faction have tried to weaken the power in Wei Ran's hands many times, but to no avail.

After arriving at Heqing Pond, the civil and military officials had basically arrived, and Wei Ran was sitting at the main table with Xiao Ju.

Wei Ran glanced around, only saw Empress Yang, but did not see Xiao Ye, so he casually asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

"The prince is still in the queen's palace, and he will bring it later, after all, he is a child, he can't speak and can't mention his hands, and coming here is also to add to his troubles." Xiao Ju said with a smile.

After Wei Ran heard this, he didn't take it to heart, but with Xiao Ju's words: "Fortunately, the queen gave birth to a dragon son, and the court can now be at peace, otherwise all kinds of words from the prince will make me really big." ”

Wei Ran suddenly thought of what would happen to the court if Xiao Ye unfortunately died, but then he shook his head, this is Taicheng, how well defended it is.

Xiao Yanran then whispered to Wei Ran: "In today's banquet, most of the people are sitting here. Even the vassal king is not qualified to share a table with His Majesty, you look at the vassal king's face. ”

Wei Ran immediately looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Yanran, but saw that all the vassal kings showed a look of disgruntle, only Xiao Yi and Xiao Gui looked as usual, and when they saw Wei Ran looking at them, they responded in response.

Wei Ran then said to Xiao Yanran: "I don't know why, I'm very uneasy, there are many people today, and now that the queen and His Majesty are here, I don't know who can make the two of them take care of the prince so reassuringly." ”

Xiao Yanran glanced at Wei Ran, and then said, "You forgot, when you were in Yuzhang, didn't you let a singer go back to Jiankang?" ”

"Flower girl?" Wei Ran only then reacted.

"Exactly, His Majesty later brought it back from Yuzhang, and seeing that this woman did not want to fall into the dust, he was named a female official. I didn't know the reason for this at first, but later I learned that he was the granddaughter of Lord Wang Zhenmo. Only by hiding his name that day did he escape. ”

It turned out to be His Majesty's in-laws, but Wei Ran was curious: "I've never heard him mention this." ”

"It's not a good thing in itself, this daughter was born to the concubine of Lord Wang's son-in-law. His Majesty has always felt sorry for the Wang family, so many of the Wang family's remnants have taken special care of it. Lord Wang's grandsons are not all named commanders of the Imperial Forest Army. These are the children of the concubines. ”

Wei Ran sighed slightly after hearing this, most of the Wang Zhenmo clan was killed in the past, and only a small number of people were either inconspicuous at ordinary times, or they were not in Danyang County and Jiankang to escape.

Wang Haozhi, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, has mediocre abilities but heavy responsibilities, and Wei Ran has already had opinions about him.

However, Wei Ran knew that Xiao Ju felt guilty about the Wang family in his heart, so he couldn't bear it, and he was also said to be suppressing dissidents.

"Brother Huang, I may not have seen karma for a long time, why don't Lan'er take me to see it first?" Xiao Yanran was also quite smart and knew what Wei Ran was thinking, so she took the initiative to speak to Xiao Ju.

"Why is the royal sister in such a hurry." Xiao Ju said with a smile: "You can see it in a while." ”

"No, Concubine Chen of our house also has rare objects that she wants to bring to the red makeup, and the red makeup is now taken care of by the queen, so I want to meet together."

Xiao Ju nodded helplessly, and then motioned for Yang Lan to take Xiao Yanran with him.

Although Wei Ran also wanted to see his daughter very much, but the harem was important, Wei Ran rushed to go, I was afraid that it would be unreasonable.

When Xiao Yanran and Yang Lan were on their way back to the dormitory, Xiao Yanran suddenly asked, "How is Wang Zhenyu on weekdays?"

Yang Lan knew that she was pitying the girl in Jacquard, so she replied: "Although she didn't grow up in everyone, but the etiquette is quite thorough, I wanted Your Majesty to accept her as a concubine, but Your Majesty didn't want to." Now let her be a female official in the palace and elevate her status, thinking that she wants to marry a good family. ”

Xiao Yanran nodded, and after a while, the two of them arrived outside the dormitory, but Yang Lan felt that something was wrong.

There was a shout in the dormitory, and Yang Lan then rushed into the dormitory quickly.

There were four eunuchs lying outside the hall, all of them unable to move.

In the dormitory, I saw a man who was about to kill the baby on the bed with a stick, and Hua Lian was holding the man's foot.

The man was displeased, and hit Hua Lian's face door with a stick, and blood flowed immediately.

Yang Lan arrived at this time, but there was no weapon by her side, so she picked up the vase in the house and walked towards the man.

The man was not wary of anyone coming in at first, so he struck a blow to the back of the head.

After a short period of dizziness, the man came back to his senses, and saw that the person who came to him was wearing a phoenix robe and a crown of xia, but he was not afraid, and he waved his stick and went towards Yang Lan, and Yang Lan could dodge.

At this time, Xiao Yanran also entered the house and grabbed the man's arm from the side, preventing him from wielding the big stick.

Yang Lan picked up a precious vase at this time and went to the man's head, but at this time, the man had already broken free from Xiao Yanran and walked towards Yang Lan.

At this critical moment, Hua Lian hurriedly blocked in front of Yang Lan, and the big stick hit the back of the head, Hua Lian screamed on the spot, and then fell to the ground.

Xiao Yanran picked up a night pot at this time and looked at the back of the man's head.

The man finally fell to the ground in pain, Yang Lan hurriedly picked up the stool on the side, and hit the man's head a few times, seeing that the man was about to be killed, Xiao Yanran suddenly grabbed Yang Lan: "Don't kill it, you still need to ask the person behind the scenes." ”

Yang Lan hurriedly pulled up Hua Lian at this time, Hua Lian was already unconscious at this time, Yang Lan said: "I'm here to take care of it, my sister took Ye'er to Heqing Pond first, I'm afraid there will be thieves." ”

Xiao Yanran didn't care about hypocrisy at the moment, picked up Xiao Ye and went to Heqing Pond.

Xiao Yanran was terrified along the way, for fear that someone would suddenly come out again, and after some fear, Xiao Yanran finally returned to Heqingchi.

Xiao Ju saw Xiao Yanran's hurried expression, and Xiao Ye was still holding Xiao Ye in his arms, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Imperial sister, why is it so hurried?" ”

Xiao Yanran did not answer directly, but ran to Xiao Ju and whispered a few words.

Xiao Ju's face suddenly changed greatly, and he was about to get up directly, but Xiao Yanran pressed down Xiao Ju, and then walked to Wei Ran's side, pretending to show Wei Ran the child, but said: "Someone broke into the harem and was about to kill the prince." Fortunately, the girl was desperately dragging on, and I temporarily wanted to go to see the child, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"What about people?"

"Caught it, Yang Lan is watching."

After Wei Ran listened, he got up and walked up to Xiao Ju and said, "Your Majesty, the banquet is as usual, Weichen will go and have a look first." If His Majesty leaves the table easily, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the ministers. ”

Xiao Ju could only nod when he heard this.

Then Xiao Yanran replaced Yang Lan and took care of Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Yanran with wide eyes, his hands kept swinging upward, Rao had experienced changes, and Xiao Yanran couldn't help laughing.

Although everyone was surprised why Wei Ran suddenly left the table, it was inconvenient to ask more.

At this time, Wei Ran had already arrived in the harem and saw Yang Lan sitting in front of the bed, so he asked, "What about the thief?" ”

Yang Lan pointed to the right, the thief man had been tied up at this time, and was watched by several eunuchs.

"Is the red makeup alright?" Wei Ran then asked.

Seeing Yang Lan shake her head, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Yang Lan cried: "Sister Hua Lian was carried away by the imperial doctor, and her body is fine, but her face is ruined." ”

Wei Ran was also worried after hearing this, a top brand of Qinhuai River, a face that tops the world, was ruined like this.

"The doctor said that there will inevitably be scars on the face." Yang Lan cried and said, "Brother, you have to be the master of Ye'er and Miss Hualian." ”

Wei Ran walked up to the man at this time, squatted down and looked at the man, then grabbed the man's hand and directly broke his thumb

The man screamed directly, and Wei Ran's face was pressed against the man's face at this time, and said, "Very good, you have successfully provoked this king." Whoever instructed you to come, you had better tell the truth. ”
