"The daughter of a criminal minister?"

Pei Huan repeated slowly, his gaze swept over the person who spoke, and a touch of coldness flashed from his eyes: "Who said the daughter of a criminal minister?" ”

"Naturally, Your Majesty, the Song family has broken the law, and as a member of the Song family, is it wrong for her to say that the daughter of a criminal minister? What's more, she was sent to the border by the emperor, and now she came back without saying a word, doesn't this mean a problem? ”

The woman who spoke walked out, and after a remark, there was a sudden silence around her.

Pei Huan smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "You are the Ning'an County Lord of the Huaiyang Hou family, right?" ”

Lord Ning'an's eyes flashed slightly: "Yes, Pei Shizi is threatening me?" ”

"You are not qualified enough, let the Marquis of Huaiyang come and talk to me."

Pei Huan coldly threw down a sentence, and then looked around.

"I know you all have thoughts in your hearts, but I advise you to be quiet for now, otherwise the result will come out, and some people are afraid that they will not be able to bear my revenge."

Pei Huan bluntly said revenge, which made the atmosphere around him more and more stagnant.

Time passed, and it didn't take long for a sharp voice to come: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived-"

Everyone stood up and saluted: "See the emperor, see the queen mother." ”

The emperor and the queen mother appeared, looked around, and waved their hands to get up.

"No courtesy, today is a celebration banquet for Pei Aiqing, everything is based on Pei Aiqing, let's all sit down."

Everyone responded and sat down.

After the emperor and the queen mother sat down, they saw Song Shuwan beside Pei Huan at a glance, and their faces suddenly changed.

The emperor glanced around without a trace, and after the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, he asked, "Why is she here too?" ”

Pei Huan smiled slightly: "It was Chen who brought her here." ”

The emperor frowned, very unhappy in his heart: "If I remember correctly, she shouldn't be here right now, right?" ”

"It stands to reason that it really shouldn't be, but the border matter, she has merit, and the minister feels that the credit will be over, and the past should be over."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face was ugly: "She has merit, but she can't do it to the point of deducting it, right?" ”

"Why can't it be done? The emperor, the minister is bold, and wants to ask the emperor to retry the Song family's case, right and wrong, how about making a decision after the case is clarified? ”

No one expected that Pei Huan would mention the Song family's case at the beginning of the banquet, and seeing that the emperor did not speak, the surrounding atmosphere gradually became solemn.

In the dead silence, a middle-aged man stood up: "Pei Shizi's words, is there some disregard for the occasion?" ”

In a word, it seems to be a tactful inquiry, but in fact it is all accusations.

Pei Huan smiled: "Speaking of ignoring the occasion, I can't compare to Huaiyang Hou and Ling Yan, before the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty made a sound, Huaiyang Hou and Ling Yan jumped out one after another, knowing that it was in the palace, and those who didn't know thought it was in Huaiyang Hou's mansion." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huaiyang Hou's face immediately changed, and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

But soon he reacted and explained: "Pei Shizi misunderstood, I just think it's ......"

"How does the Marquis of Huaiyang feel that it has nothing to do with me, although today is a reception banquet, but I think, since all meritorious heroes can be rewarded for meritorious deeds, then Miss Song should also be rewarded, what does the emperor think?"

On the side, Song Shuwan was a little stunned, Pei Huan was talking about the Miss Song family, not the princess.

The silence spread, and the emperor's eyes were dark: "What you said is naturally right, but today is a banquet for the wind, a reward for meritorious deeds, and it should be on top of the main hall, Pei Huan, you sit down, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Pei Huan bowed: "The minister understands." ”

When the words fell, he said no more.

Song Shuwan's eyes swept over him several times, and her lips pursed slightly: "The prince is ...... today."

Pei Huan handed over the cup in his hand and said with a smile: "This wine is good, try it?" ”

Song Shuwan glanced at it, took the cup and held it tightly: "It's very good to smell." ”

She knew that Pei Huan was reminding her not to say more, so she took a sip of wine, and then her eyes fell and she didn't say anything.

As they were quiet, the feast went much smoother, and it was soon time to end.

The emperor and the queen mother left first, and the ministers who stayed behind looked at Pei Huan, with scrutiny and exploration in their eyes.

It stands to reason that Pei Huan solved the Tatar and made a lot of contributions, which should be the existence of all the ministers, but his behavior before the banquet invisibly erased a lot of his credit.

Song Shuwan looked at it coldly, feeling a little helpless in her heart, Pei Huan should not be the existence that these people ignore.

"Shizi."

Pei Huan raised his eyes: "It's not early, let's go back to Beizhuang." ”

Song Shuwan wanted to speak and stopped, and nodded lightly for a while.

The two had not been far away when there was a commotion from behind.

Song Shuwan turned her head slightly: "Today, the son of the world is inevitably a little chaotic. ”

Pei Huan was behind him with one hand, his whole person was full of majesty set off by his dark clothes, his long body was jade, and his demeanor was even worse, which was something that Song Shuwan had never seen in the past.

He said, "Why do you think I'm messing around? ”

"The border Tatars have been beaten back, and the prince is in hot demand, so why bother to make the emperor unhappy in front of all the ministers?"

Pei Huan tilted his head, and his face showed a little surprise: "So, you don't agree with my behavior today?" ”

Song Shuwan lowered her eyes: "It's not that I don't agree, it's just that there are many ways to retry the Song family's case, and there is no need to choose the one that is most unfavorable to you." ”

Pei Huan smiled: "Do you think that after I return to Beijing, how many people will target me?" ”

Song Shuwan was silent, and in an instant, she understood what Pei Huan meant.

"The prince wants to use the case of the Song family to keep those officials in the capital away from you, but in this case, the emperor's side ......"

Speaking of this, Song Shuwan frowned, she didn't mind Pei Huan using the Song family's case as a bargaining chip, after all, all she wanted was the innocence of the Song family, but when it came to the emperor, it seemed that Pei Huan was very irrational.

The figures of the two were cast on the ground by the moonlight, and Pei Huan said lightly: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Do you know it again?

Song Shuwan's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

The two returned to Bezhuang and passed quietly all night.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Song Shuwan got up, she heard from Baicao that Mrs. Hou was coming.

"I've been sitting in the hall for almost half an hour."

Song Shuwan's body paused slightly: "What did the prince say?" ”

At this time, Qinglian walked in from outside: "Shizi said, just let her stay and ignore it." ”

Song Shuwan frowned, but she didn't say anything, Pei Huan had something to say, the people in Dingyuan Houfu, to be honest, she didn't really want to be contacted.

Who knew that it didn't take long for the front concierge to report that the Duchess of Xinguo was here, and Song Shuwan could only go to receive it.

As soon as I arrived in the hall, I heard Mrs. Hou and Duchess Xinguo talking.

"The ability of the Xinguo Mansion is really great, even the daughter of the criminal minister has been saved, but I don't know, how long the Xinguo Mansion can exist, Pei Huan offended the emperor last night, wait a minute, the emperor will definitely clean up your Xinguo Mansion."

"Mrs. Hou's words are really interesting, Pei Shizi is a person from Dingyuan Houfu, he offended the emperor, how could it be that the Xinguo Mansion was cleaned up? If you want me to say, Mrs. Hou has to make plans early, after all, this Hou Mansion may be sealed at some point. ”
