"Princess, uncle, please go this way."

The maid holding a lantern led the way. Rong Xia took Banhua's hand and walked around the nine-wind corridor to Banhua's yard.

The yard is beautifully maintained. Even though it is covered with heavy snow, it can still be seen that the owner of the house put a lot of effort into designing the yard.

The maid opened the door. The room was very clean. The red gauze curtain was embroidered with various auspicious patterns such as pomegranates. Banhua turned to look at the maid behind her: "Leave a few people to serve, and everyone else will leave." Next."

"Yes."

The maids lit the candles in the room, saluted Banhua and Yu Rongxia, bowed and left.

"This is my first time entering a woman's boudoir." Rong Xia walked to the bed and took a look. He found a small grid on the head of the bed. When he opened it, he saw some snacks placed inside. He turned to Banhua and said, "It's quite interesting. I'll ask them to do this when I get back."

"It's okay. The mandarin duck bed I brought with me has a small grid on it." Banhua washed off the makeup on her face and put on a tolerant and comfortable nightgown, "wash up and go to bed."

Seeing her soaking her feet, Rong Xia went over and squeezed her feet into the same big basin.

"Don't squeeze with me," Banhua stepped on his foot, "There is no shortage of water at home."

"Save water," Rong Xia said confidently, "It's not easy for the waiters to run around in such a cold weather."

"Uncle, the hot water is still warm on the stove in the wing room." A little maid said honestly, "It's not troublesome."

"It's okay, your princess and I will just squeeze in and use it." After the excuse was exposed, Rong Xia didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he gently tickled the palms of Banhua's feet with his toes. Banhua couldn't help but step on his feet again.

After soaking her feet, Rong Xia carried Banhua to the bed. The bed was already warmed by Tang Pozi's smoke. Banhua huddled in the bed and yawned: "It's already past midnight. Go to sleep."

Rong Xia took her into his arms and saw that she was really sleepy. He kissed her gently between her eyebrows and said, "Have a sweet dream."

Ban Hua cupped his chest, listened to his heartbeat, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Even if you look like a fairy and confuse all living beings, you can't force your feelings. If you let me go, let yourself go."

"Who do you think you are? Do you deserve to be let go or not?" The woman in red was riding on horseback, her proud chin raised slightly, and she looked at him as if she were looking at an unrelated passerby. "Get away if you want, don't express your heartfelt feelings and cry in front of me. I was willing to make a marriage contract with you Xie Lin, but it just depends on how beautiful you are. Today you elope with others, I won't stop you, I hope you two No regrets a day."

"Thank you for your generosity, Princess, Xie will not regret it."

"Hey," the woman on the horse laughed, her eyes full of ridicule, "I have seen many men like you in story books."

She threw a small bundle to the woman standing next to him: "This is my thank you gift to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what kind of person this man is."

In the dim light of the morning sun, her face was rosy, her lips were smiling, and her bright eyes were full of coldness.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, the eldest Young Master has a fever again. The doctor said the situation is not good. Please go and have a look."

Xie Qilin opened his eyes. It was still dark outside the window. He heard the urgent voice of the boy and hurriedly put on a big cloak. He didn't even have time to put on his outer robe, so he opened the door and walked out.

"How is big brother?"

"I had some porridge last night, and I was in good spirits. Who knew I would get hot now?" The boy held a lantern and walked on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It was still sunny now. It was dark, and everyone in the house was asleep, so there was no one to shovel away the snow.

"Where's the doctor?"

"Several imperial doctors and doctors invited from outside are here," the young man ran back and forth several times, still breathing heavily when he spoke, "but they said the situation is not very good."

Xie Qilin's expression changed and he walked faster. When he walked into his eldest brother's yard, he heard his mother's crying and his father's angry curses.

"We spent a lot of money to hire you, and this is how you repay us? You still claim to be a miracle doctor, why can't you even cure my son?!"

"Father!" Xie Qilin was worried that his father would be too sad and speak impulsively and recklessly, offending these doctors and not doing any good to his eldest brother. Now the eldest brother has to rely on them for treatment, and they can't afford to offend these people.

"Uncle Zhongping," two doctors stood up and one of them said with a cold expression, "Although we are not good at medical skills, we are still doctors raised by Princess Fule, not from your uncle Zhongping's house. As the saying goes , Beating a dog depends on the owner. The two of us may not even be as good as dogs in the eyes of the uncle, but it is only Princess Fule who scolds us, not the uncle."

"My uncle asked me to come to the princess's house on her wedding day. The princess was soft-hearted and allowed me to come to treat your young master, but that doesn't mean that we have to let you scold me," another doctor added, "Since Uncle Zhongping doesn’t like our medical skills, so let’s leave now.”

"Doctors, please stay," Xie Qilin walked up to the two of them and bowed to them, "My father was in a hurry and his words were very offensive. Please forgive me."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xie, neither of us brothers are good-tempered people. Uncle Zhongping scolding us means that he doesn't take our princess to heart. As the saying goes, if a king humiliates his ministers, they will die, and if the master humiliates his servants, he will die. .Thank you, Second Young Master, there’s no need to say more, farewell!”

After the two doctors said these words, they rolled up their sleeves and left regardless of how Xie Qilin cried and begged.

Xie Qilin stared blankly at the backs of the two people, unable to say a word. People in the Ban family have always been like this. They will give them some face with nice words, but if someone hits them in the face, they will stamp that person's face on the ground. Even the servants are very protective of their master, quite a bit. The style of a military general's family.

"Father," Xie Qilin walked up to Uncle Zhongping, "How is eldest brother?"

Uncle Zhongping shook his head with a face full of vicissitudes of life, and said after a while: "Qilin, what I regret most in my life is that I let your sister marry Prince Ning, and let our whole family be tied to Prince Ning's ship."

Xie Qilin looked at Xie Chongjin, who was still alive and dead on the bed, and suddenly said: "Then our family will get off his boat."

Uncle Zhongping's expression changed drastically, his lips trembled, and he curled up on the chair. The dusk was dark and lifeless.

After a dreamless night, when Rong Xia woke up, it was already broad daylight. Seeing that Banhua was still sleeping, he carefully took out his arm. After putting on his robe, he walked quietly outside and asked the maids to wash him.

Ban Heng came in and saw Rong Xia, fully dressed, sitting on a chair outside. He lowered his voice and asked, "Brother-in-law, is my sister still sleeping?"

Rong Xia nodded, stood up and walked outside the door, "Brother Heng, can you take me for a walk in the yard?"

Ban Heng nodded, "It's still snowing outside. After breakfast, I'll show you around."

"Good work."

Ban Heng scratched the back of his hand uncomfortably: "What, don't be so polite to me. Our family doesn't pay attention to these things. You will understand after you get along with us for a long time. The rules are for others to see. , I can feel at ease in private."

Rong Xia laughed out loud after hearing this: "No wonder Huahua is so cute."

Ban Hua shook his shoulders. What kind of eyes do he need to think his sister is cute? Praising his sister for her beauty is a fact, but to say she is cute...

This is probably the legendary saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway, even his biological brother cannot say such things against his will, and he always feels that the obstacle of conscience is too much to overcome.

When it was time for breakfast, Banhua hadn't gotten up yet, so Yin felt a little embarrassed and said, "Xian son-in-law, I've made you laugh."

"Mother-in-law, it's a blessing to be able to sleep," Rong Xia said to Yin, "It doesn't hurt to let Huahua sleep a little longer."

Yin Shi laughed twice, unable to say anything more. If Rong Xia's words were polite, she could still teach Banhua a few words. But looking at Rong Xia's appearance, she really didn't think that Huahua was sleeping in. If this continues, how lazy will that girl be?

After dinner, Ban Heng took Rong Xia for a stroll in Ban's yard.

"There are no people living in these small courtyards. We have few female dependents, so these small courtyards are not used, so two courtyards have been built into studies and orchards, and the other courtyards have been locked up." Ban Heng led Rong Xia entered the orchard, where orange trees were planted, with a few oranges hanging on the branches. These oranges don't look very good, but they are red and orange and look pleasing to the eye. No one picked these fruits, so most of them were ripe and fell to the ground. The remaining ones were hanging on the branches. But when you look closer, you can see that these fruits are not very good and have no vitality.

"There is an orchard in my grandmother's princess mansion. It is said that my grandfather liked it. Later, after our family moved into the marquis mansion, we built a garden just like the princess mansion. Unfortunately, my grandmother rarely visited this garden." Ban Heng picked an orange from the branch and peeled off the skin. The orange flesh had little moisture left and turned into a dry white color.

"I wanted to give you a taste, but it seems I can't eat it." Ban Heng threw the orange into the snow regretfully, turned around and said, "My sister is about to wake up, let's go back."

Rong Xia looked at the orange forest and asked, "Huahua, do you like this forest?"

"She used to take me to play in the woods, and she would catch summer cicadas on the trees to scare me." Ban Heng led Rong Xia out of the orchard with a smile on his face, "My sister is a bit upright and doesn't know how to be gentle. It’s a roundabout way of saying something, but it’s very thoughtful.”

Ban Heng turned the blame on Banhua in just two sentences. The central idea was "Although my sister has many shortcomings, she is a good girl." He did not mention that Rong Xia should treat his sister well, but every sentence The idea is that she doesn’t want Rong Xia to let Ban Hua down.

"I really envy you." Rong Xia recalled her childhood, but couldn't find anything particularly interesting.

The only thing that still has some memory is that when he was eleven years old, he secretly played on the frozen ice with a five or six-year-old child. Later, his mother discovered that his robe was wet, and she was angry for several days. Ignore him.

Later he learned that the frozen ice was very dangerous. Fortunately, nothing happened that day, otherwise he and the child would have drowned in the water.

I still remember that the child found a wooden board, sat on the ice and asked him to pull it along, but he did not agree. He didn't remember what the child looked like, but he clearly remembered the way he pouted.

My mother never allowed him to do this action because it was not elegant enough.

Ban Heng waved his hand: "There is nothing to envy."

Rong Xia smiled: "It's good to have someone to grow up with."

"You also have a brother, how come you don't have anyone to accompany you?" After saying these words, Ban Heng realized that he had said the wrong thing. The elder of the Rong family had died of illness a few years ago, and he brought up old things again. Wouldn't it be like poking a knife into someone's heartache?

"Sorry..." Ban Heng felt that he was a little bit tongue-tied.

"It's okay," Rong Xia shook her head, "It's all old stuff, there's nothing that can't be mentioned."

He does not have a very good relationship with his eldest brother. Although they are brothers, due to the family tradition of the Rong family, they are not close. They respect each other more than they are intimate, and they cannot deviate from the rules in every word and deed.

"What are you doing here with such heavy snow?" Banhua stood under the corridor holding a hand warmer, waving to the two of them, "Come here quickly."

Ban Heng ran up to Ban Heng and said, "Sister, you have to count."

Banhua's cheeks were flushed with the blush after getting up: "I slept too well last night, so I got up late."

"Is it cold?" Rong Xia touched her face. It was soft and tender. He couldn't help but touch her face a little more.

"Hold this with cold hands," Banhua put the hand warmer into Rong Xia's hand, covered his face with his hands and said, "Don't touch it. What if I touch my face?"

Rong Xia squeezed her hand and put the hand warmer back into her hand: "Okay, I won't touch it."

"Princess," Ruyi hurried over, "the two doctors you borrowed from Zhongping Bo's Mansion are back, and they want to see you."

"The Xie family doesn't need a doctor anymore?" Banhua raised his eyebrows, "Let them meet me in the front hall."

Xie Chongjin was stabbed. It’s only been a few days, so he doesn’t need a doctor?

Could it be that... the person is gone?

Banhua came to the front hall and after listening to the two doctors explain what happened, he nodded and said: "You did the right thing. You two gentlemen have been wronged. Please go to the backyard to rest."

"The princess has spoken harshly, and the Xie family is rude. There is absolutely no reason to blame the princess," the two doctors said, "I will leave first."

After the two doctors left, Banhua snorted coldly: "The Xie family really don't know how to show appreciation. If anyone in his family wants to live or die in the future, even if he kneels on the ground and kowtows to me, I won't lend him a doctor. ”

"Okay, we won't borrow it." Rong Xia nodded in agreement.

Outside Baishou Garden, Xie Chongjin came to apologize and stood outside the door for a moment. A young man in Tsing Yi came out and saluted him: "Mr. Xie, what a coincidence, our Lord Marquis and his wife are not in the garden. ."

"Not here, did you go back to the Marquis Cheng'an Mansion?" Xie Chongjin patted the snowflakes on his shoulders and exhaled a breath of hot breath.

The boy shook his head: "Yesterday was the day when Madam returned home. Yesterday, our Marquis and Madam went to Jingting Palace and they haven't come back today."

"Jingting Palace?" Xie Chongjin thought he heard wrongly, "Did you say you went back yesterday?"

"Exactly," the boy said with a smile, "If you want to see the two masters, I'm afraid you have to go to the Jingting Palace, Madam's natal home."

"Thank you."

"Don't dare."

Xie Chongjin rode on horseback, took the cloak from the boy and tied it up. Rong Xia actually accompanied Banhua back to Jingting Palace on New Year's Eve. He never thought of this.

"Master, are we going to Jingting Gong's Mansion?" The boy holding the horse rope looked at Xie Chongjin. He actually didn't want to go to Jingting Gong's Mansion, because not only did the masters of their two families dislike each other, Even the servants have to tell each other apart.

"No need," Xie Chongjin slowly shook his head, "Today is the first day of the first lunar month, so we don't want to disturb you too much. Just leave our gifts and posts here."

"Yes."

Xie Chongjin was in a daze. He never imagined that Rong Xia would do this for Banhua. Spending the New Year at the daughter's natal home, and even staying at the in-law's home on the first day of the first lunar month, what's the difference between this and the son-in-law?

Rong Xia and Ban Hua stayed at Ban's house until the third day of the first lunar month, then packed up their bags and returned to the palace.

"By the way," Banhua lay on the table, tilting his head to look at Rong Xia, "Are we going to offer incense to our parents-in-law?"

Rong Xia brought her a glass of water mixed with honey: "You can go anytime."

Seeing that he looked distant and seemed not to have a deep affection for his parents, Banhua stopped mentioning the matter.

Three days later, the snow stopped, and Rong Xia took her to a room in the backyard. Inside were the memorial tablets of the two elders of the Rong family and the eldest son of the Rong family. Rong Xia handed the lit incense to Banhua: "God. Leng, there is no need to go to the tomb to worship, let’s just do it here.”

This room is a bit deserted. It is empty. Except for the two memorial tablets, there are no other ornaments. Behind the tablet, there are two paintings hanging, a man on the left and a woman on the right, which may be Rong Xia's parents.

Banhua didn't know what to say to the cold memorial tablet. She took the incense and bowed three times, put the incense behind the censer, lifted up her skirt and prepared to kneel down to worship, but Rong Xia held her hand.

"No need, the ground is cold," Rong Xia looked at the memorial tablet expressionlessly, "That's it."

"Oh," Banhua took his hand and pulled it gently, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Rong Xia reached out and tapped her forehead, showing a gentle smile.

"If you don't want to laugh, stop laughing." Banhua dragged him out and walked out. "Let's take a walk in the garden." Although the palace already belonged to them, she had not fully appreciated it yet. .

"Princess, the prince is drunk and can't get up now."

Xie Wanyu stood by the bed, looking at the man who was sleeping soundly on the bed. He turned around and saw several palace people in the room looking at her in fear. He couldn't help but sneered. Could it be that these people thought she would take advantage of this? Taking this opportunity to kill Jiang Luo?

She turned around and left the room expressionlessly.

Although she and Jiang Luo were called husband and wife, they did not have the slightest affection as husband and wife. At first, she thought that after marrying Jiang Luo, she would be able to dominate Banhua and make her bow down to her, but she did not expect that she would actually Is married to a fire pit.

She returned to her room and took out a box of ordinary-looking facial butter from the dressing table. This box of facial butter smelled fragrant, just like the fragrance of osmanthus blooming in August.

"Princess," a palace maid came forward, "do you want to freshen up?"

"No need," Xie Wanyu put the box of facial cream that had been used for a third of the time back on the dressing table, and said with a half-smile, "Tell someone to take good care of the prince. I heard that drunk people sometimes Choked to death unconsciously in his sleep."

The palace maid's shoulders shook with fear and she did not dare to speak.

Seeing that the palace maid was so frightened, Xie Wanyu sneered, "Why, do you have to be afraid if I say such a thing?"

The palace people all remained silent.

The princess and the prince are now described as "strangers", which is already a polite way of saying it. It would be more appropriate to say that they are "enemies who can't see each other when they look up". The prince caused the princess's brother's life to hang by a thread. How should this hatred be resolved?

If you want them to say, the prince has indeed gone too far. The Xie family's elder brother is his brother-in-law after all. What kind of deep hatred exists between the two people, and how can a knife be used to resolve it?

"You all step back," the smile on Xie Wanyu's face disappeared little by little, "I want to be alone."

"Yes."

The room returned to silence, and Xie Wanyu pulled out a piece of paper from a hairpin with a short sentence written inside.

"Duan Ning Near East Palace."

She smiled bitterly. Even if Prince Ning ascended the throne in the future, with Prince Ning's attitude towards her, the Xie family would not end well. But now if Dong Gong succeeds to the throne, what will happen to her, Princess Ning? She was in a dilemma, and she ended up in this situation.

Is there any other way that can allow her to defeat Prince Ning while ensuring that she will have enough food and clothing in the future?

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the imperial court reopened its seals and all officials went to court for the first time in the new year. Only when they saw that there was not only the second prince but also the prince standing in the palace, they knew that the East Palace had lifted the ban.

Although the prince's character is a little weak, he can at least be called a benevolent person. Prince Ning's cruelty is really frightening.

In fact, Prince Ning was even more shocked than the officials. He didn't know that the East Palace had been lifted until the prince appeared. He looked at the prince standing on his left, with a sullen face he reluctantly bent down and saluted the prince.

His father secretly released the prince without telling him.

What does he want to do?

"Your Majesty has decreed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in good health and can help me share my worries..."

When the prince was under house arrest, the external reason was that he was unwell. Now that he is well, he will naturally continue to supervise the country. As for Prince Ning, let him be his Prince Ning.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Yunqing gave a prince's palace to Prince Ning and told him to move into the palace after one month.

After learning about this imperial edict, the ministers finally felt at ease.

It seems that the crown prince will eventually inherit this world.

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it!" Jiang Luo smashed everything in the house, "The prince was only born a few years before me, why does this world belong to him?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The **** walked up to Prince Ning with tea in hand, "The situation is not yet desperate, so you must not mess up your position."

Jiang Luo took the tea cup and drank a few sips of tea. After the tea was in his stomach, he felt that his mind was much clearer: "I made the prince make such a big mistake, and my father only imprisoned him for a few times. With the moon closed, what chance do I have?"

The **** took the half-empty tea cup and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, except for the support of a few civil servants, the prince does not have military power."

"Does this king already have it?" Jiang Luo sat down on the chair and said impatiently, "On the contrary, Rong Xia is very important among civil servants, and he is very fond of the prince. If we don't get rid of this person, I will I feel really uneasy."

"But your last assassination..."

"I won't touch him, but I will touch his woman." Jiang Luo sneered, "Human beings have weaknesses. If something happens to Ban Hua in his house, I'll see if Ban's family can spare him."

"You mean to send someone to assassinate Princess Fule?" The eunuch's eyes flickered and he quickly lowered his head, "Princess Fule died in the assassination, how could the Ban family hate An Hou? I am stupid, really. I can’t understand this.”

"You are an eunuch, so of course you don't understand," Prince Ning snorted, "The Ban family is the most unreasonable, and it is common for them to vent their anger on others. As long as something happens to Banhua, there is no need for us to deal with Rong Xia , with the Ban family around, Rong Xia will have no time to take care of himself."

"The prince is very clever, but this servant is so stupid."

"What did you say?" Xie Wanyu turned to look at the **** in front of him, "Prince Ning wants to kill Banhua?"

"Yes."

"Is he crazy?"

Xie Wanyu pinched the handkerchief in his hand and took several deep breaths: "You go out, I want to think carefully."

The **** retreated silently.

Xie Wanyu hates Banhua very much and sometimes wishes she would die.

But...
