Ban Heng looked at the door, why did Cheng'an Bo Mansion send people over at this time? The fact that the eldest son of the Yan family came to their house to apologize has probably already spread throughout the capital. If Cheng Anbo sent someone over at this time, wasn't he afraid that the Yan family would think he was here to laugh?
Du Jiu followed the steward all the way into the main hall. He didn't seem to expect that Yan Ming was also there. After seeing the gift to the Ban family, he gave Yan Ming a big gift.
Du Jiu is Rong Xia's close guard, so anyone in the capital who is familiar with Rong Xia knows Du Jiu. When Yan Ming saw Du Jiu, he was more surprised than the Ban family. However, the first thing he thought of was not that Rong Xia came to see the Yan family's jokes, but that he was surprised that Rong Xia had contact with the Ban family.
"Guard Du, please take a seat." Ban Heng glanced at the two boxes Du Jiu held in his hands. The boxes were neither big nor small. They looked like they were used to hold books or pens, inks, paper and inkstones. .
His sister sent a gift to Cheng Anbo in his name this morning. Shouldn’t she be returning the gift now? I just sent it in the morning, and now I'm returning the gift. Isn't it a little hasty?
Thinking that it might contain pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc., Ban Heng instantly lost interest. Except for his grandmother and mother, who knew poetry and prose, no one in their family could read or write.
"I don't dare." Du Jiu saw that Yan Ming, the prime minister's son, was still standing. Naturally, he, a small bodyguard, would not sit down. "The thank you gift sent by the crown prince is too expensive. The uncle was both happy and happy. I'm uneasy. Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. This is a small gift prepared by your uncle for Your Majesty, please don't dislike it."
"Uncle Rong is too polite. It's just a worthless gadget. Why should I give you a gift in return?" Ban Heng waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Uncle Rong, this is too outrageous."
Du Jiu’s hand holding the box shook. A worthless gadget?
That's "Looking at the Moon on Cold Mountain", and it's an authentic work!
Whose worthless gadgets are so valuable? ! Du Jiu has been staying with Rong Xia since he was adopted by the Rong family since he was a child. He thinks he has seen a lot of good things, but he has never seen anyone as informal as the Ban family.
"It would be a disaster if the prince refuses to accept it," Du Jiu said with a smile. "My uncle couldn't put it down the painting that the prince sent. He said frankly that it is a good thing that can't be exchanged for a lot of money."
"Ahem, you're welcome," Ban Heng looked sideways at Ban Hua. What did his sister give Rong Xia in his name?
Ban Hua ignored Ban Heng and instead asked the housekeeper to accept the gift from Du Jiu.
When Du Jiu saw this, he felt more and more that the picture was specially sent by Princess Ban.
After Du Jiu sent the return gift, he immediately left. In Yan Ming's view, Du Jiu was really just here to return the gift, and the personal relationship between the two families did not seem to be particularly good.
Why did the Ban family send a thank-you gift to Rong Xia?
Yan Ming remembered what Rong Xia had said about Banhua in front of many scholars a few days ago. It was because of Rong Xia's words that the Yan family's reputation was completely ruined. He was very angry about this at first, but within a few days, his father was seriously ill at home and Rong Xia was promoted, and he suddenly understood. Rong Xia was not speaking for the Ban family, but for His Majesty. After all, their family was under His Majesty's suspicion.
If not, why has there been so much commotion in the court in recent days? Many officials who had good relations with the Yan family were demoted to a miserable place, and even several officials who supported the prince were punished.
Their family has always secretly supported the prince behind his back. Even the Shi family didn't know. Why did the emperor know about it?
The most frightening thing is that Rong Xia may also know about their family's secret support for the prince, so at this time, he would rather offend his family than stand up to save Princess Ban's reputation.
It's funny that everyone thinks Rong Xia is an upright gentleman, but they don't know that deep down, he is just a mean person.
"Sir Xiao Yan," Banhua looked at Yan Ming, "I have listened to your apology. Please come back."
The corner of Yan Ming's mouth moved. Looking at this beautiful woman, he thought of his bedridden brother and bowed deeply to her: "I'll take my leave."
"Go slowly and don't send me off."
Walking out of Jingtinghou Mansion, Yan Ming rode on horseback and looked at the people coming and going around. He felt a little panicked in his heart. What should the Yan family do in the future after being suspected by His Majesty?
As he walked forward for a while, he met the old man of the Chen family unexpectedly. This person was his uncle a few days ago, but now the two families have turned from in-laws to enemies. The uncle looked at him as if he was looking at the most hateful person in the world.
"Brother..."
"Please, Mr. Yan, please don't get involved in relatives. The Chen family is a small family, and I can't afford to call you an elder brother." The elder of the Chen family looked very ugly. He didn't even want to say more to Yan Ming, so he turned around and left. Gotta go.
"Brother Chen, how is your sister...how are you doing?" Yan Ming thought of Mrs. Chen and couldn't help but ask.
"Ha," the elder of the Chen family sneered, "what does it have to do with you?"
Yan Ming stared blankly at the back of the elder man of the Chen family, feeling that the world was so vast that there was no place where he could feel relaxed.
Ban Heng placed the two boxes sent by Cheng Amber in front of Banhua. One box contained an inkstone, and the other contained a lot of local blood jade jewelry. I don’t know where I found these blood jade, but there is no impurity at all. It is as bright as red blood and so beautiful.
"Cheng Anbo... is quite generous." He thought for a long time and could only use this word to describe it, because this box of blood jade is a good thing that even money can't buy, and the workmanship is very fine, unlike It's a folk thing.
"So beautiful." Banhua took out a bracelet and put it on. The bright red blood jade made her hands whiter and more moist.
Ban Heng fiddled with the square inkstone in disgust, "He must have used this square inkstone just to make up the numbers."
Both of them gave him something in his name, but in the end they gave him an inkstone. He doesn’t like writing, so why give him this thing?
As the eldest son of the Hou family, Ban Heng felt that his dignity had been challenged.
So angry, but he doesn't dare to complain yet.
"Didn't you want to buy some invincible generalissimo last time?" Banhua was in a very good mood after getting such beautiful jewelry. She immediately gave Ban Heng five hundred taels of silver and asked him to buy his favorite generalissimo.
The Invincible Generalissimo, a big rooster with very powerful fighting power.
Ban Heng suddenly became happy and didn't care about the square inkstone. When he caught her sister, he praised her sister, saying that this place is beautiful and that there is beautiful. Banhua was so coaxed that she gave him an extra hundred taels in the end.
As for the inkstone that was ignored by the Ban family, the asking price outside was at least eight hundred taels. Unfortunately, it met the two siblings who did not know the goods and could only become worthless.
Five days later, the position of Dalang Chen was promoted, filling the vacancy left by a certain Yan Dang who was demoted. In the next half month, many strict parties were suppressed, and the vacated positions were quickly filled. Only Yan Hui's position as left prime minister was not affected. On the third day after Yan Ming personally went to Ban's house to plead guilty, the emperor even rewarded some things to Yan's house and said some words of encouragement.
Just when no one could figure out His Majesty's intentions, Yan Hui dragged his sick body to the court and submitted his resignation to His Majesty.
Emperor Yunqing did not agree and was even more concerned about Yan Hui. In the end, Yan Hui did not resign as left prime minister, but the Yan Party, which was once quite influential in the capital, was disbanded. From then on, the prestige of the Yan family plummeted, and all the glory was replaced by the Shi family. The ministers in the court called Shi Chonghai Shi Xiang, and the right character in the middle was forgotten by everyone intentionally or unintentionally.
The first snow fell, and the entire capital fell into a world of white.
Banhua was in a good mood because the fox fur she had someone make finally came in use.
A plain palace skirt embroidered with red peony, snow fox fur, and blood jade jewelry sent by Cheng Amber. She sat in front of the bronze mirror, took a picture of herself in the mirror and fell into self-indulgence.
Why are there such beautiful women in the world?
"Sister!" Ban Heng shouted outside the door, "It's snowing heavily outside. If we don't leave, it will be late."
Banhua touched the bright red forehead pendant and drew a blooming red lotus on the center of her forehead. The forehead pendant was like a red bead growing out of a red lotus, beautiful and charming.
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, His Majesty has a long life. Important ministers in the court, and female relatives of the third rank and above will all enter the palace to congratulate the Emperor on his birthday. This day is also a good day for officials to publicly give gifts to His Majesty.
In order to please Emperor Yunqing, officials from all over the country began to have miracles everywhere, such as golden harvests, strange stones, dragons, and strange beasts. The methods were endless, and each story became more bizarre than the last.
But for Emperor Yunqing, who listened to all kinds of magical stories every year, he no longer paid attention to these so-called miracles, because he knew in his heart that they were lies told by local officials to please him. , whoever's story is well-written, he will laugh at it; if the story is not vivid and bizarre enough, he will not even bother to listen to it.
These ministers are not tired of making up stories. He, the one who listens to stories, is tired of them.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. Today is a good day." Wang De glanced at the sky outside. It snowed so heavily today. Everyone was standing inside and outside the palace waiting to pay tribute to Your Majesty. It may be a bit rough on this day. Not comfortable.
"Yes." Emperor Yun Qing looked at the sky outside, nodded and said, "Let's go out and have a look."
"Your Majesty, take off."
As a princess who is deeply favored by the emperor, Banhua will be treated like a star and a moon no matter where she is. When the princess's car she was riding in passed the palace gate, the guards saw the family crest on the car and did not even stop her. They bowed respectfully and let her pass.
After the carriage entered the palace gate, it walked forward for a while and then stopped. The nun sent by the palace to welcome the carriage was already waiting outside.
"This slave has met Princess Fule."
The two welcoming nuns were sent from the Queen's Palace to show the Queen's respect for Princess Fule. In this palace, whoever is invited and who is invited is all about face.
"Thank you, two nuns." Banhua's personal maid saw snow falling on the shoulders and hair of the two nuns. After blessing the two nuns, she gave each of the two nuns a purse with both hands. , "Thank you for waiting for a long time."
"Where, where." The two nuns did not dare to take it seriously. After returning the salute, they bowed forward to lift the curtain of the carriage and prepared to help the princess get out of the carriage.
The moment the curtain was opened, both mothers took a breath.
What a beauty she is. She is dressed in snow and has a red hairpin, especially the red lotus between her eyebrows, which is as gorgeous as fire.
Just like the red plum blossoms in the snow, there is nothing in the world that can compare with its beauty.
