"Your Majesty!" The maid next to the Queen saw that she looked wrong and hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, "You must pay attention to your health."

The queen looked at Jiang Luo, and after a while she said sadly: "Luo'er, you have completely disappointed me."

"Mother," Jiang Luo seemed to wake up after being slapped twice. He knelt in front of the queen, "Mother, my son, I..."

"Your character has been absurd since you were a child. I thought you were still young and ignorant. Even if something happened, the prince would still take care of you. Now the prince is under house arrest by His Majesty in the East Palace. You supervise the country for His Majesty, and you are still doing things so shamelessly. Steady, are you going to force me to death?" His Majesty has been lukewarm towards her these days. The two have been married for decades, but now they have reached this point. It's not that the Queen doesn't feel pain in her heart, but it just doesn't show on the two sides. In front of his son.

Although Your Majesty does not value the concubines, this does not mean that her two sons can be unscrupulous.

"It's my fault," the queen said with tears, "It's all my fault."

If she hadn't been worried about the power dispute between her two sons and deliberately indulged her younger son so that he would not have the right to compete for the throne, it would not be like this now.

She glanced at her second son who was kneeling in front of her, and said to Xie Wanyu who was standing aside: "Princess Ning is coming with me."

Xie Wanyu walked past Prince Ning and followed the Queen, but did not reach out to help her. The queen smiled bitterly in her heart. Princess Ning was still a bit angry. When she was the Crown Princess, she was squeezed out by Princess Hui. She endured this attitude for several years. It was not until the death of the late emperor that she straightened up. . At that time, she was more tolerant than Princess Ning.

It's just that the fault was ultimately her son's fault, and she couldn't say anything to blame.

"Your Majesty, Princess Fule is too arrogant," the female official beside the Queen whispered, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the prince, and it is up to Your Majesty and Your Majesty to decide what is right and wrong. Who does she have to say? Dao Si?"

"Huahua and Luoer have not gotten along since they were children. They had quarreled and bickered when they were young. Luoer often bullied Huahua because of his age, so even now, the two still can't get along." Speaking of this, the queen sighed in her heart. She sighed, she really liked this girl from the Ban family, but her mouth was a bit unforgiving.

It doesn't matter if such a little girl is pampered as a junior, but it would be inappropriate to marry her as a daughter-in-law.

"My servant feels that she is just relying on the eldest princess to show some kindness to His Majesty and repaying the favor."

"Shut up," the queen said with a stern face, "Are you allowed to talk about noble people's matters?"

"I know my crime!"

Xie Wanyu, who was following behind, raised his head and glanced at the queen. The queen's expression was indeed not good, but although she said she was dissatisfied with the female officer's words, she did not really punish her.

Seeing this, Xie Wanyu couldn't help but sneer. Everyone in the palace was like this. They were so hypocritical that it made people sick. Even if the queen keeps saying how much she likes Banhua, how much does she actually like her? This love is definitely not as good as His Majesty's.

Xie Wanyu felt very complicated when thinking about what Banhua had just said to him.

She did not expect that at this time, Banhua would dare to call Jiang Luo a scumbag in front of Jiang Luo and the Queen.

Did Banhua really think that the queen would not be dissatisfied with her? Or...she doesn't care at all what the queen thinks of her?

Banhua and Rong Xia were walking along the high palace wall. Banhua pointed to a garden and said, "When I was playing here when I was a child, Jiang Luo pushed me from behind. My whole body was shaken. He threw himself into the grass."

"What happened next?"

"Then I kicked Jiang Luo hard. After kicking him, I cried. While crying, I rubbed grass and leaves on my body. When Your Majesty and the Queen found out, they punished Jiang Luo by kneeling for an hour, and gave me a reward. A lot of things." Banhua looked away, her eyes a little dull, "That was the first time I understood that crying is useful."

"Since then, Jiang Luo has often made trouble for me, but as long as he touches me, I cry. Not only does he cry, but he also lets everyone know that he bullies me," Banhua lowered his eyelids to hide the sadness in his heart. Emotion, "Once, His Majesty asked me if there was anyone in Jiang Luo who was better than the Prince."

Rong Xia suddenly recalled that His Majesty also asked him nine years ago, when he was only fifteen years old. What he said was that he admired the prince more, so he didn't know the second prince very well.

"I said I don't like the second prince, I only like to play with him. In my eyes, there is nothing about the second prince that can compare to the prince." Banhua held Rong Xia's hand and walked very slowly every step of the way. It was very casual, because there was someone holding her hand by her side, so she didn't have to worry about falling. "After hearing this, His Majesty not only wasn't angry with me, but also praised me for my straightforwardness."

Perhaps when His Majesty was a boy, he also hoped that someone would say that they only liked the prince and did not want to play with the second prince.

It's just that no one had said it so bluntly at that time. Her words made him feel psychologically satisfied.

"What a coincidence," Rong Xia smiled, "His Majesty also asked me that question back then."

"Then how did you answer?"

"I said I am not familiar with the second prince."

"Hehe." Banhua covered her mouth and smiled, "That's a good answer."

The two came out of the palace and saw that the streets were hung with red lanterns and crowded with people. Banhua said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

Seeing that Banhua looked a little lonely, Rong Xia asked the groom to stop the carriage and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

"This is for you," Rong Xia returned to the carriage with a beautiful red lantern in her hand. A big word "福" was written on the lantern, and a pair of magpies were painted on the other side. Magpies announcing spring are a good sign.

"Isn't this just for fun with children?" Banhua took the lantern. Although he said he was disgusted with it, he couldn't help but poke the magpie on the lantern a few times.

"Well," Rong Xia kissed her gently on the cheek and whispered: "In my heart, you are my most precious little daughter. I treat you like a jewel and I can't bear to let you suffer any injustice. ”

"Humph," Banhua whispered to him, "I don't believe you." However, this does not mean that she does not like to hear it.

How can one not be moved by a handsome man who is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and talks about love with a gentle face?

Rong Xia rubbed her into his arms and whispered, "You will believe it."

The carriage moved forward slowly, leaving deep wheel marks in the snow. In this noisy world, the tenderness in the carriage is like early spring in the snow, too beautiful to be true.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, the third day of Banhua's marriage, it was supposed to be the day when the married girl returned home, but according to custom, a married girl was not allowed to return to her parents' home to spend New Year's Eve.

When Banhua woke up, the snow outside had not stopped yet. She put on her clothes, finished cleaning and faced the maid holding the basin and said, "Where is your Marquis?"

"Go back to Madam, the Marquis just left."

Banhua threw the handkerchief back into the basin, stood up and walked to the bronze mirror. It was such a cold day. Why did Rong Xia go out so early in the morning?

"Princess, what kind of bun do you want to wear today?" Yuzhu and Ruyi walked up behind Banhua. They saw that the princess looked a little lonely, and they seemed a little cautious when asking.

"It's up to you." Banhua was not very interested, "Just watch and comb it."

"How can you be casual?" Rong Xia strode in with unmelted snowflakes still on her cloak, "Today is a good day to go home, and I don't want my father-in-law and mother-in-law to think I'm not good to you."

He put a wooden box on the dressing table, "Take a look at the things inside and see if you like anything."

Banhua did not look at the wooden box, but looked at Rong Xia in surprise: "You said you would come back to my house today?"

When Rong Xia heard the word "my home", she knew that in Banhua's heart, there was still only one home, and that was Jingting Gongfu. He smiled and said, "Of course it's time to go back today. The palace is so big, what's the point of having us two masters in it? If you go back to your father-in-law and mother-in-law's place, not only will there be a lot of people and excitement, but you will also be happy."

"Rong Xia," Banhua reached out and hugged Rong Xia's waist, "You are so kind, I like you a little bit."

"Only a little?"

"Then...a little more?"

Wang Qu walked outside the study and said to the boy guarding outside: "I have something to see the Marquis, please go and inform me."

"Mr. Wang," the young man looked at Wang Qu in surprise, "The Marquis has accompanied the princess back to her parents' home, didn't you know?"

"What did you say?" Wang Qu frowned, "Today is New Year's Eve."

The boy nodded: "Today is the day when Madam returns home. The Marquis was worried that Madam could not find the jewelry that she wanted, so he asked Du Weibei to go back to the Hou Mansion early in the morning to pick up a large box of jewelry for Madam to choose from. I've been gone for almost half an hour now, and I thought you knew about this, Mr. Wang."

Wang Qu's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if it was his misunderstanding. Recently, the Marquis seemed unwilling to see him and was unwilling to discuss many things with him. Could it be that he had done something that dissatisfied the Marquis, and he was taking this opportunity to beat him up?

Walking out of the study in a daze, he saw the servants in the main courtyard moving boxes out. These boxes also bore the Ban family's family logo, which were obviously items brought by Mrs. Hou from her natal family.

"Where are you moving these?"

"Mr. Wang," the boy who moved things saluted Wang Qu, "The Marquis said that Madam is not used to living in the palace here, so she will move these things to the Marquis Mansion and return to the Marquis in a few days. Live in the mansion."

Wang Qu frowned when he heard this. For the Marquis, living in this palace given by the emperor is definitely better than living in the Marquis's mansion. However, just because Princess Fule was not used to living there, she left the palace. move out?

Why am I not used to living there? I obviously want to be closer to my parents’ home. A married woman doesn't want to take good care of her husband, but thinks about what her mother's family is like every day. She also tempted the Marquis to accompany her to her parents' house to celebrate the New Year. If word of this got out, what would the outside world say?

Are you saying that the Marquis is henpecked, or are you saying that the Marquis is afraid of the power of the Ban family and cannot hold his head high?

In the carriage, Banhua lay on Rong Xia's knees and closed her eyes to rest. Rong Xia told her the story of the Jianghu heroine fighting the Nian beast.

"What happened next?" Banhua couldn't help but raise his head when he heard that the female hero had saved the Nian beast and said, "The Nian beast has become a human. Do you want to commit yourself to him, or should you repay the favor and kill the female hero? ”

Rong Xia pointed to her lips: "Kiss me and I will tell you."

In order to hear the back of the story, Banhua sacrificed her appearance without hesitation.

Rong Xia was immediately satisfied. He continued to talk, observing Banhua's expression while talking, and decided the plot direction of the following story based on the changes in Banhua's expression.

"Master Marquis," the groom driving the carriage outside gently knocked on the window of the carriage, "has the Duke's residence arrived?"

Banhua's face lit up with joy, she opened the curtain and jumped out. Rong Xia behind her looked at her empty palms and showed a helpless smile.

In the Jingting Palace, Ban Huai and Ban Heng lay weakly on the table. The father and son looked at each other and sighed together.

"Why are you sighing during the Chinese New Year?" Mrs. Yin came in wearing a purple dress. Seeing the appearance of the father and son, she couldn't help but said, "It looks like bad luck."

"Mother," Ban Heng sat up straight, "today is the third day of my sister's wedding. According to the rules, this is the day to return home. Maybe Cheng'an Hou will send my sister back."

"Don't think about this matter," said Yin, with a slightly gloomy expression. "Although the Rong family has no elders, there is no reason for a son-in-law to accompany his daughter back to her parents' home for the New Year. You..."

"Master Marquis, Madam, Crown Prince!" A steward ran in with a happy face, "The princess and my uncle are back."

"What did you say?" Yin was overjoyed, "Did you read that correctly?"

"It's true, people are almost reaching the second door now."

"Let me go take a look!" Ban Heng jumped up from the stool and ran out of the door in the blink of an eye.

Ban Huai looked at Yin in disbelief: "Come back?"

Yin wiped the corners of her eyes, turned around and hurried out. Ban Huai hurriedly followed, as if his daughter would fly away if he was one step too late.

"Sister! Sister!"

Banhua heard Ban Heng's voice from the lotus pond. She stood up on tiptoes and took a look. Behind the rockery opposite, Ban Heng was jumping up and down and waving to her.

"Brother Heng," a bright smile suddenly appeared on Banhua's face, and he stretched out his hand and shook it at Ban Heng.

Ban Heng turned around and ran this way. He stumbled and fell to the ground. However, he quickly got up from the ground and ran quickly to Ban Hua.

"Sister!" Ban Heng circled around Banhua a few times. Seeing that the jewelry on her sister's head didn't look like it was brought to her from Ban's house, and that it was all exquisite, he turned to Rong Xia. A gift, "brother-in-law."

"Brother Heng." Rong Xia smiled and returned the gesture.

"Why weren't you careful?" Ban Hua patted Ban Heng's snow-stained robe, "Does it hurt from the fall?"

"It doesn't hurt," Ban Heng patted his hands that were stained with snowflakes, turned around and wanted to hold up Banhua's skirt. Unexpectedly, Rong Xia had already held up the skirt in his hands, so he had to walk side by side with Banhua. He said, "Sister, your father and mother are waiting for you in the main courtyard. We have cooked your favorite dishes. You must eat more later."

"Okay," Banhua nodded, thought for a while and then said, "add a side of sour bamboo shoot soup, your brother-in-law likes this."

Ban Heng nodded: "Oh." He turned to look at Rong Xia, who smiled gently at him.

Walking into the main courtyard, Yin and Ban Huai were already waiting at the door. After seeing Banhua, Ban Huai didn't wait for Banhua to salute him. He stepped forward and asked Banhua if he was eating well, sleeping well, and whether the servants he brought there were satisfied with the use.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law." Rong Xia stepped forward and saluted the two of them.

"It's snowing outside, come inside and talk," Yin's eyes were red, but she was still smiling. She nodded to Rong Xia, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

The red lanterns and red damasks that have not been removed are still hanging in the yard, just like the day Banhua got married.

Rong Xia walked into the room and sat next to Ban Heng. He glanced at Ban Hua who was talking to his father-in-law, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Rong Xia drank tea and chatted with Ban's family. As they chatted, they mentioned the subsequent arrangements.

"You mean moving out of the palace?" Ms. Yin thought for a moment, "You are very thoughtful. Although the palace was given to you by His Majesty, it is not suitable to live in it for a long time, at least it is not suitable now. ."

"My son-in-law means the same thing," Rong Xia glanced at Banhua with a smile, and Banhua turned back and smiled at him, "Huahua also supports my decision."

When Mrs. Yin heard this, she smiled and said: "Huahua has a childish personality and is confused about big things. If you have any decision, just explain it to her clearly. You must not rely on her in everything."

"Huahua is pretty good," Rong Xia retorted immediately, "I'm not confused."

Yin didn’t expect that her son-in-law’s first refutation would be because she criticized her daughter. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You haven't been with her long, you will know later."

"I can't understand some people even if I've been with them for a hundred years, but Huahua is different." Rong Xia shook her head slowly, her expression more serious than ever before, "I just looked at her and knew she was the best in the world. woman."

Ban Huai took his daughter's hand and saw that her hairpins, rings and jewelry were all priceless, and her clothes were the style her daughter liked, so he whispered: "When you marry into the Rong family, don't wrong yourself, just wear whatever you want. Wear it and eat whatever you want. I think Rong Xia is also a good son, so when you eat, think about him as well. This is the way for a husband and wife to get along."

This may seem childish, but it is the truth.

When a person cares about another person, even if he eats something delicious or sees something interesting, he will want his beloved to share it with him.

This has nothing to do with the value of the thing, but everything to do with the mind.

"He's good at everything, but his dressing style doesn't suit me," Ban Hua said, "The clothes are too plain."

So when he put on the red groom's robe, his whole body was so handsome that he wanted to shine, so much so that she couldn't help but eat him up. The grand scene of red clothes and white skin is delicious when I think about it now.

"Scholars should pay attention to elegance when dressing," Ban Huai advised. "Be more tolerant and you must not conflict with him on these matters."

"Don't worry, father," Banhua laughed, "How could I be such a stingy person."

At most she would ask the embroiderer to make a few more clothes of other colors and try to find a way for Rong Xia to change into them.

Lunch was very sumptuous. Ban’s family not only prepared Banhua’s favorite foods, but also prepared a bunch of dishes that were “rumored” to be liked by Rong Xia, or that were highly praised by scholars. Although Rong Xia may not really like this, the kindness of the Ban family towards him made his heart soften.

"We don't know what you like," Ban Huai clinked glasses with Rong Xia, and Weng and his son-in-law took a small peck, "When you and Huahua come over in the future, send someone to inform you first and tell them what you want to eat. We let the people in the kitchen prepare the meals. We don’t have many people at home, and we don’t pay attention to the rules outside. We just have to enjoy the meals."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Rong Xia knew that Ban Huai's words were not polite, so he agreed.

After a harmonious and happy lunch, Rong Xia and Ban Hua walked up to the two elders of the Ban family and knelt down in front of them.

"What are you doing?" Ban Huai wanted to help Rong Xia, but after decades of being a playboy, how could he help a young man like Rong Xia.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law," Rong Xia kowtowed to the two of them and said in a serious tone, "my son-in-law's parents and brothers died young, and apart from my son-in-law, there is no other family member in the family. Now I am a Ban family member. My son-in-law, Huahua’s parents are my parents, and this gift is what my son-in-law must do.”

After speaking, he raised the tea in front of Ban Huai.

"You kid." Ban Huai took the tea cup, raised his head and drank the whole cup of tea. Then he took out a stack of banknotes in his arms and stuffed them all into Rong Xian. In his hand, "I didn't prepare a red envelope, don't dislike it."

Ban Heng took a sneak peek and saw that the top banknote was in denomination of 500 taels, and the stack of banknotes amounted to at least 3,000 to 5,000 taels. Who is the biological son of the Ban family, him or Rong Xia?

"Thank you, father-in-law." Rong Xia did not refuse and stuffed all the banknotes into his arms.

"Mother-in-law, please drink tea."

Yin did not expect that Rong Xia would kneel down and worship her like her biological sons and grandchildren. She took the tea from Rong Xia, drank it, and then took out two red envelopes and put them in Rong Xia's hands. . This was originally prepared for Ban Hua and Ban Heng, but the son-in-law was so lovable that the red seal was given to him first.

"Where's mine?" Banhua knelt down on the cushions and watched her father and mother give the banknotes and red envelopes to Rong Xia. Only her own hands were empty, so she curled her lips and said, "Parents You can't be so partial."

"You have been receiving lucky money for more than ten years," Ms. Yin stretched out her hand to support Rong Xian, "I will give it to Jun Po this year, and I will make up for it to you two siblings later."

Ban Hua and Ban Heng:...

Both of them were picked up?

Rong Xia helped Banhua up and handed the banknotes and red envelopes in her hands to Banhua: "What's mine is yours."

Banhua patted his chest: "Be good."

Ban Heng: Haha, he is the only one in this family who is not a biological child.

After arriving at Ban's house, Rong Xia realized that New Year's Eve could be spent like this.

There is no need to spend time accepting the kneeling of servants, and there is no need to kneel to listen to the instructions of the elders. The family sits together, eats fruits and snacks and watches the piano players, singers, storytellers, dancers, etc. raised in the house. Performance. There is no need to pay attention to the rules of respect and inferiority, you can joke without restraint, and it is not a big deal for children to even give silver coins to dancing girls instead of their parents.

At night, when the fireworks lit up the entire capital, Banhua looked at the kind faces of his parents under the fireworks and reluctantly looked away: "Let's go."

Today, Rong Xia was able to accompany her to Jingting to spend New Year's Eve, which was already breaking the custom. She couldn't let him stay at Ban's house for one night. Fortunately, there is no curfew tonight, so it doesn't matter if you go out later.

"Where are we going?" Rong Xia held her hand and said with a smile, "We still have to watch the New Year together."

Banhua's fingertips trembled: "You..."

"I will live in your yard tonight," Rong Xia said with a smile. "When I married you, I didn't even have time to see what your yard looked like."

Banhua raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Okay."

The eyes were dazzled, illuminating Rong Xia's face. Banhua blinked and bent her fingertips a little, letting Rong Xia wrap her hand in her palm.

"My lord, your majesty has given you the blessing dishes and the word "福"."

"Hurry and give it to the ancestors. This is His Majesty's wish and cannot be wasted." Ban Huai glanced at the two plates of cold dishes and spoke without hesitation.

"This is..." Mrs. Yin looked at two words of blessing. The two characters of blessing were written in different handwritings. One looked like the handwriting of His Majesty, while the other was the character of the prince. "The word of the prince?"

Isn’t the prince under house arrest in the East Palace?

Rong Xia picked up one of the pieces with the word "Fu" and took a look at it: "It is indeed the prince's handwriting."

"The prince was released?" Banhua felt that the prince was more reliable.

"I don't know," Rong Xia smiled, "It should be like this. It's New Year's Eve, and His Majesty won't keep the Crown Prince locked up all the time."

Your Majesty can't stand Prince Ning anymore.
