Graceful Dynasty

Chapter 50: Yellow flowers carry wine

The prince's face was also somewhat embarrassed. He pretended to say, "Oh, what can I do? How about I compensate your family with a piece of floor plank? I'll ask Shanyin to go to the inner workshop and pick the best one to bring over. Do you think it's okay?"

That's why she was with Xinghai because of He Xian. After seeing so many examples of wives and concubines fighting over favors, she felt that warmth and affection were particularly rare when she met one like this.

The prince asked, "The disaster star you mentioned is not referring to me, right?"

Xinghe glanced at him and said, "I beg you to stop interfering. Can you do that? You have to compensate our family and let them know that you climbed onto the bed on duty and collapsed the bed planks. Do you still care about your dignity?"

Prince Xin staggered after being pushed. After he stood firm and turned around, he saw her running towards the palace gate crying.

Xinghe glared at him angrily, bent down, picked up her clothes, pushed the door open, and went to the wing room to spend the night.

Who would dare to let a princess suffer a loss? The emperor was used to her exaggerations and did not take them seriously. "Explain clearly what she said, one by one."

Su Yujin sneered, "Isn't that what we saw in him in the first place? He is difficult to control, and he will be a Prince Jian in the future. It's good that he is like this, moderate and not showing off. No one will notice him for the time being. As long as the emperor is healthy, there will be no worries that the crown prince and Prince Jian will both be defeated. At that time, we will win even if we don't fight. Besides, the situation in the palace is treacherous, and Queen Hui's involvement is also an opportunity for us."

The prince asked, "The disaster star you mentioned is not referring to me, right?"

"Old woman, you just think about these messy things all day long!" Su Daxueshi scolded, and flicked his sleeves to go to the study room to the west.

It was for love again. This Xia Ling seemed to be inseparable from love all her life. It almost made people wonder if she was the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie. The emperor had a splitting headache, but he had to patiently comfort her, "Since he has a wife and children, why don't you just not join in the fun? You are a dignified princess of the empire, but if you try to curry favor with him, wouldn't that lower your status? You can't figure it out yourself, and it's useless to come to me to complain. What should I do? Order Su Xinghai to divorce his wife and remarry?"

The prince said: "My face is not important. As a man, everyone knows who else."

With a crack of whip, the carriage gradually drove away. Xinghe lifted her skirt and walked in. She took two steps and looked back. Her mother couldn't save face and greeted Princess Xia Ling: "Your Highness, happy New Year. It's the first month of the year. If you come in, come in and have a seat and have a cup of lotus seed tea."

She said, "I don't have any idea. Anyway, our young lady is here, and I am here too. If our young lady goes back to Song Mansion, I will certainly not stay."

But they understood her intention, which was a shame for her. She saw him every day in the palace, and he was still greedy like a cat when he came back. How would the sisters-in-law look at her if she made such a big noise? How would Xinghai look at her

Xinghe casually ignored it, and continued to talk about the prince's great achievements. She looked at her carefully and said, "My little sister-in-law is originally from my sister-in-law's family? These rough jobs are not for you to do."

The prince and Xinghe looked at each other. Seeing this situation, they were afraid that they would have to confront the emperor. Xia Ling had suffered a loss before, and with her temper, she would not tolerate it. Xinghe hurriedly pulled the prince, "Go back to the palace to check. I'm afraid that if she cries and makes a fuss, the emperor will not be able to bear it and agree to grant the marriage, and then it will be over."

She wanted to cry but had no tears. "Have I met a calamity? In the middle of the night..." She looked at the collapsed bedding dejectedly, and felt that the sky had become lower.

Xinghe said slowly, "Who is embarrassed?"

Xinghe blushed, although she didn't know why she blushed. Her mother's attentiveness to the prince really made her feel uncomfortable. She just broke the bed board yesterday, and she repaired it today. Looking at the prince, he smiled subtly and said, "Thank you, madam." She secretly complained, and the prince suddenly exclaimed, "What's wrong with your face? I've known you for more than ten years, and I've never seen you blush!"

Su Daxueshi couldn't listen to their talk about whether to lay the planks or not, it was too embarrassing. He turned his head and looked towards the dining room. At this time, Xinghai's concubine came up and knelt down, saying that breakfast was ready and would be sent to the prince.

Xinghe just sighed: "If Prince Min had half the cunningness of the Crown Prince, he wouldn't be led by the nose by others..."

The prince felt relieved now, thinking that it was a loud sound, so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth and made the ghosts cry.

After entering the moon-shaped door, she saw Xinghai's concubine assigning people to move the broken bed board. She stood aside and watched for a long time, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart. She was used to being a servant, and even if she was promoted to the position of concubine, she still had no master's manners in front of those servants. She took care of the trivial matters of the house as usual. She was in the kitchen, she was in charge of setting the meals, and she was still there to dismantle the bed frame.

The prince asked, "The disaster star you mentioned is not referring to me, right?"

The medicine hanger was placed on the charcoal stove, the medicine was still bubbling, and the whole palace was filled with a bitter and sweet fragrance. Memories have a flavor, reminding him of the late autumn nine years ago, when his mother was dying, the same Lizheng Hall, the same desolation and coldness.

Mrs. Su said, "That's nonsense again. That board is new. You won't be able to break it even if you have two more."

Xinghe said slowly, "Who is embarrassed?"

She looked at him expressionlessly, with a look of "what do you think?" The prince smiled awkwardly, "It's fine if it collapsed. I originally told you to sleep on the bed. It's your fault for not listening."

He was trying to trick her everywhere, and he wanted her to listen to him. Where in the world could such a good thing happen? Xinghe was disheartened. She said, "Let's go back to the palace. My family doesn't want me to visit relatives and friends during the New Year, so there's no point in staying."

Su Yujin snorted coldly, "What do you think his idea was? He asked Prince Min to arrest the men of the rich families in the name of the court. Those who don't want their sons to go to the battlefield have to use food to redeem them. It's a good idea, and it's easy to raise, but how is it different from a harsh policy? This guy is a smart man. He only asked someone to pass on the message, so that no one else would have any evidence. When the emperor blames him, he will push the blame and Prince Min will bear the blame alone."

Prince Xin saw that the situation was not good and rushed into the bedroom, bumping into Xia Ling head-on. Xia Ling was furious and called someone to block her way. No matter who it was, she pushed the person aside fiercely and said, "Get out of the way!"

No one should reason with a widow who is eager to welcome a second spring, because it is useless to talk. Xinghai has been afraid of her these days, and he is not happy to see her. He has said those same old things countless times, but it is useless anyway. Today, taking advantage of the presence of the crown prince, he solemnly bowed to the crown prince and said, "Your Highness, please bear witness for me. I have a family and have never thought of marrying off to a rich and powerful man. I also don't have any improper thoughts about the princess. I am really ashamed of the princess's kindness in the past month. If the emperor asks about it in the future, please clear my name. Su Xinghai is enough for me, and I will never marry anyone else."

Prince Xin, who was eavesdropping outside, could not help but be shocked. Once this killer move was revealed, it was even more shocking than the news of the prince's bed collapsing in the residence. The emperor's father would always care about his daughter. Would he just watch his daughter being taken advantage of by others for nothing

Mrs. Su gave her an ambiguous look, "Tsk... Didn't they say there was a lot of noise in your yard last night? Everyone has been through this since childhood, so men don't have to be shy about that."

Xinghe glared at him angrily, bent down, picked up her clothes, pushed the door open, and went to the wing room to spend the night.

Bad news spreads far and wide, and the news of the broken bed board spread throughout the Su family the next day. When Xinghe entered the front yard, her parents looked as if they were about to say something but hesitated. The prince hadn't come yet, so Mrs. Su looked outside and asked her daughter, "Are you embarrassed and don't dare to come out to see people?"

Prince Xin was playing chess with his father, the Emperor. When he saw the princess come in with red eyes from crying, he was stunned for a moment. He stood up and called out in panic, "Imperial sister."

Mrs. Su turned her gaze and blinked at the stars. Look, she can't even tell a lie, now she's exposed!

Tsk, Xinghe sighed secretly. Even though she didn't say anything, she knew how to show off her power in front of everyone at the critical moment to the woman who was trying to steal her husband. I don't know if others saw the glance she gave when she got on the car, but she saw it anyway. Maybe this is another woman with her own ideas. If her husband is hesitant and determined to break up, but as long as her husband's position is not shaken, she will defend her position at all costs.

Xinghe said slowly, "Who is embarrassed?"

However, there were too many unexpected things, and the favor would eventually run out. The emperor's voice was cold, and he said word by word: "You have sown the fruit yourself, whether it is bitter or sweet, you will taste it yourself. Why is your mother in such a situation today, have you ever thought about it? I thought you would restrain yourself and reflect on yourself, but who knew you would ruin her reputation even more..." The emperor's voice trembled at the end, and he pointed at the door and shouted, "I don't want to see you anymore, get out of here, get out now!"

Mrs. Su turned her gaze and blinked at the stars. Look, she can't even tell a lie, now she's exposed!

The prince pressed his hands and said, "Don't worry, the two of you. I saw it with my own eyes here today. If the emperor asks, I have my own explanation."

Mrs. Su gave her an ambiguous look, "Tsk... Didn't they say there was a lot of noise in your yard last night? Everyone has been through this since childhood, so men don't have to be shy about that."

Prince Xin staggered after being pushed. After he stood firm and turned around, he saw her running towards the palace gate crying.

Xinghe played dumb, "You mean the plank broke? I don't know why, I think the plank is too old, wasn't it Xiao Xing'er who used it before? It's been more than ten years now... As soon as I sat on it, it broke by itself."

The prince looked very puzzled, "You said you would go, and now you say you won't go..."

He tried to take the blame, but it only made it more obvious. "It's me. It's all my fault. I wasn't paying attention and broke the bed."

Mrs. Su turned her gaze and blinked at the stars. Look, she can't even tell a lie, now she's exposed!

In the end, Xinghe was pulled down. Princess Xialing appeared from somewhere and took Xinghai's arm, "I'll go with you."

In that case, it's not too bad. Grand Secretary Su nodded anxiously, but Mrs. Su was completely relieved. It's good to have a son-in-law with high status and power. Today, the prince is not here, and I'm afraid Xinghai won't have a chance to attack. Xia Ling saw her brother and didn't dare to be presumptuous. Mrs. Su sent away the plague god and said to the prince happily, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll ask someone to prepare a casserole of stewed deer tendons to nourish your body."

Mrs. Su said, "That's nonsense again. That board is new. You won't be able to break it even if you have two more."

"You are such a grown-up girl, why are you still celebrating the New Year? We have distinguished guests at home, so you better stay here quietly."

The prince pressed his hands and said, "Don't worry, the two of you. I saw it with my own eyes here today. If the emperor asks, I have my own explanation."

Xinghe waved his hands repeatedly, "In fact, it was delivered to the Huo Mansion before the New Year. It has only been here for two or three days. It's a bit urgent to go now. Let's wait and see."

Xinghe said slowly, "Who is embarrassed?"

Xinghe kept denying, "I don't know, it just collapsed. I was supposed to be on night duty for the master, but I had no choice but to move to the wing room for the night."

Xia Ling was being unreasonable and twisted her body into a knot. "I just like him! Father, don't you think I'm pitiful? I'm a widow and an unemployed woman..."

In the end, Xinghe was pulled down. Princess Xialing appeared from somewhere and took Xinghai's arm, "I'll go with you."

She said, "I don't have any idea. Anyway, our young lady is here, and I am here too. If our young lady goes back to Song Mansion, I will certainly not stay."

Xia Ling didn't even look at him, "I have something to say to the emperor, please get out."

The prince nodded and said yes, but he also felt bad for his half-sister. What's the point of forcing a cow to drink water

How could a mother easily hide what happened in her daughter's boudoir? Mrs. Su said, "The bed in your room is very big, how come there is no room for you..." Before she could finish her words, she was scared away by a look from Su Daxueshi.

This was not the first time he had played tricks on her. No matter how vicious his actions were, she was not surprised. She was just puzzled. "Did Prince Min really do what he wanted?"

Princess Xia Ling saw him and exclaimed, "Second brother is here too. You can go to their house for the reunion dinner, but why can't I go with Xing Hai to visit their house?"

The sky seemed to be changing, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy. When he walked in front of her, the clouds just dispersed, and thousands of brilliant lights shone on him, making him look like flying gold. He was tall, with his hands behind his back, bending down a little, with an elegant smile on his face, and called her "Xing" affectionately, "Why are you shy?"

Xinghai changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Even though he was now a high-ranking official, he still had to follow the old etiquette. In two years, when his son grew up, it would be his son's turn to pay New Year's greetings on his behalf, and he would not need to go out in person.

"Old woman, you just think about these messy things all day long!" Su Daxueshi scolded, and flicked his sleeves to go to the study room to the west.

Therefore, the whole situation is in the hands of the prince. If he instructs local officials to report Prince Min, the prince's reputation as a fool will spread throughout the territory of Dayin.

Prince Xin staggered after being pushed. After he stood firm and turned around, he saw her running towards the palace gate crying.

Mrs. Su said, "That's nonsense again. That board is new. You won't be able to break it even if you have two more."

He tried to take the blame, but it only made it more obvious. "It's me. It's all my fault. I wasn't paying attention and broke the bed."

The prince felt relieved now, thinking that it was a loud sound, so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth and made the ghosts cry.

This word "弄" is really the most wonderful word in the world. The prince agreed seriously, "Yes, that's it."

The prince said: "My face is not important. As a man, everyone knows who else."

Xinghe gave her mother a soothing smile and hurriedly followed. After entering the study, her father asked her to close the door and turned around to ask her, "Have you heard about Prince Min's fundraising for grain?"

Xia Ling was being unreasonable and twisted her body into a knot. "I just like him! Father, don't you think I'm pitiful? I'm a widow and an unemployed woman..."

He Xian timidly said "oh", lifted her skirt and walked down the steps. When she got to the front of the car, she didn't step onto the footstool, but looked at her husband with curved eyebrows, "Brother Hai, my skirt is too narrow, I can't get up." Then she was picked up by her husband and gently carried into the car.

Prince Xin staggered after being pushed. After he stood firm and turned around, he saw her running towards the palace gate crying.

Xinghe said yes, "I heard from the prince that it took more than ten days to collect 30,000 dan of grain, which is a drop in the bucket and not enough to deal with the war between the north and the south. The prince said that he gave him an idea for the sake of our brotherhood. I was a little suspicious at the time, but I didn't want to ask. How is it now? Has there been any news from other places?"

Xia Ling didn't even look at him, "I have something to say to the emperor, please get out."

He clearly had no good intentions, and if she saw Huo Yan talking nonsense, she would be swept into the Duke's Mansion.

Xia Ling showed a cold smile on her face. She was still polite to Mrs. Su and said, "Since he is busy, I won't go in. I will visit him another day." After all, she was a princess, so she turned around proudly, got on the carriage and drove away.

Xinghai's concubine smiled and said, "I was sold to the Song Mansion when I was young, and I didn't know where my parents were. Later, I served the young lady all the time. When the young lady got married, I followed her. She was afraid that I would have no one to rely on in the future, so she let me follow my uncle. The masters treated me very well, and I took care of everything I could do. Although I am now in my uncle's room and have a child, I still regard myself as a servant and serve the masters with all my heart and soul."

Therefore, the whole situation is in the hands of the prince. If he instructs local officials to report Prince Min, the prince's reputation as a fool will spread throughout the territory of Dayin.

The prince pressed his hands and said, "Don't worry, the two of you. I saw it with my own eyes here today. If the emperor asks, I have my own explanation."

The prince said: "My face is not important. As a man, everyone knows who else."

This was not the first time he had played tricks on her. No matter how vicious his actions were, she was not surprised. She was just puzzled. "Did Prince Min really do what he wanted?"

According to the old custom, people have to visit relatives on the second day of the Chinese New Year to wish them a happy new year. When Xinghe was a child, he and Xinghai would go door to door delivering visiting cards. There were too many relatives, so they usually didn't go in, but greeted outside the door, and they could visit hundreds of houses in a day.

She knew all the details of the house, and she was very familiar with it. Xinghe admired her quickness and did not look down on her because she was a concubine. She turned around and saw Xinghe, and smiled and called her "girl".

Who would dare to let a princess suffer a loss? The emperor was used to her exaggerations and did not take them seriously. "Explain clearly what she said, one by one."

Xinghe said slowly, "Who is embarrassed?"

He looked at her tenderly, and her eyes were dull, as if she was not the one who collapsed the bed with him last night. The prince felt a little aggrieved, but fortunately there was still a chance tonight. This time he would never let her have the chance to sleep outside, and he had to coax her into the bed even if he had to trick her.

Xinghe waved his hands repeatedly, "In fact, it was delivered to the Huo Mansion before the New Year. It has only been here for two or three days. It's a bit urgent to go now. Let's wait and see."

This was not the first time he had played tricks on her. No matter how vicious his actions were, she was not surprised. She was just puzzled. "Did Prince Min really do what he wanted?"

Su Yujin said, "What can we do? It is really hard to raise money and grain. The rich families are keeping themselves out of trouble and no one is willing to cut off their own flesh and blood. The army is starving and is eagerly waiting for the imperial court to allocate funds. As for the imperial court, the treasury is empty and there is no money to allocate. How can we deal with it? Now the difficulties have been dealt with, but I am afraid that the emperor will punish him after he returns to Beijing. Yesterday, I took the opportunity when Gui Fohai talked about taxes to give him a heads-up. I hope that the emperor understands the difficulty of raising grain and thinks of him. In the past two years, even taxes have been difficult to collect, let alone making the people bleed."

Xinghe nodded and moved aside to allow the board to be moved out of the hall. She rubbed her hands and said, "I'll have someone send a thicker one later. This board was originally prepared for the maid, but I didn't expect..." She paused and smiled awkwardly, "It was my negligence."

He was calculating in his mind, but his expression remained calm. He turned his head and looked at the sky. "I'm afraid it's going to rain. It was a sunny day last time during the winter solstice. I was able to hold back and not have an attack yesterday. It was a blessing from God." He raised his hand and said, "Let's go inside."

Xia Ling was being unreasonable and twisted her body into a knot. "I just like him! Father, don't you think I'm pitiful? I'm a widow and an unemployed woman..."

The prince looked very puzzled, "You said you would go, and now you say you won't go..."

She nodded, "Yes, yes, that's what I said. I'm different every moment. Women's hearts are like needles in the sea."

She had finished her words, so the prince decided not to argue with her. Even though he didn't succeed last night, he had made some progress. The person he liked was already under him, and he was brave enough to strike in mid-air. When the real fight came, he would definitely be more experienced than he is now.

Therefore, the whole situation is in the hands of the prince. If he instructs local officials to report Prince Min, the prince's reputation as a fool will spread throughout the territory of Dayin.

Xinghe couldn't help but hold his forehead, "I'm not ashamed, I just have a headache."

So she cried even more bitterly, "The Emperor knows about the Deputy Privy Councilor Su Xinghai. I dealt with him once before, and I thought he was a good person, so I had more dealings with him later. Who knew he had a wife and children at home? When I went to look for him, he put on airs and kicked me out."

Therefore, the whole situation is in the hands of the prince. If he instructs local officials to report Prince Min, the prince's reputation as a fool will spread throughout the territory of Dayin.

The prince said: "My face is not important. As a man, everyone knows who else."

The princess who is loved by everyone has never suffered such an injustice! Who knows what kind of treasonous things this spoiled princess will do when she gets angry. Prince Xin smiled and turned his eyes to the medicine rack - the emperor's father has had a headache recently and is always taking medicine. Usually, the temperature of the decoction is supervised by the doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but when they are taking care of the sick, they don't let others do it...

She nodded. "After the New Year is over, I will try to get that Cavalry Captain to meet a relative. As long as they can talk to each other, they can formally introduce us."

Xinghe just sighed: "If Prince Min had half the cunningness of the Crown Prince, he wouldn't be led by the nose by others..."

The prince asked, "The disaster star you mentioned is not referring to me, right?"

This word "弄" is really the most wonderful word in the world. The prince agreed seriously, "Yes, that's it."

Mrs. Su started to worry again when she came in. "After all, she is the emperor's darling. If Xinghai offends her so much and she files a complaint with the emperor, what shall we do if the emperor asks us for punishment?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Even the crown prince was a little surprised. He stood under the eaves and said, "You are a princess of the emperor's family. They are visiting relatives. Why are you joining in the fun?"

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned this. As soon as she mentioned it, the emperor flew into a rage. "How dare you say that? It's only been a short time since your husband died, and you've already caused such a stir! It's your fault for not educating your child well. I'll be ridiculed by the people with you. It's over once. Now, you've set your sights on a married man again. Xia Ling, how long are you going to stop making trouble?"

Xia Ling refused to sit down, leaning on her father's legs, crying, "Father, I have been wronged outside, please help me."

Xinghe kept denying, "I don't know, it just collapsed. I was supposed to be on night duty for the master, but I had no choice but to move to the wing room for the night."

She nodded. "After the New Year is over, I will try to get that Cavalry Captain to meet a relative. As long as they can talk to each other, they can formally introduce us."

Princess Xia Ling saw him and exclaimed, "Second brother is here too. You can go to their house for the reunion dinner, but why can't I go with Xing Hai to visit their house?"

She said, "I don't have any idea. Anyway, our young lady is here, and I am here too. If our young lady goes back to Song Mansion, I will certainly not stay."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard someone outside announcing that the prince was coming from the backyard. Xinghe hurried out of the study and went to the second door to greet him. As a result, the first thing he said to Mrs. Su was to compensate the Su family for the bedding.

Xinghe was very excited and said "I'll go too" and wanted to get on the bus, but Mrs. Su pulled him back.

He tried to take the blame, but it only made it more obvious. "It's me. It's all my fault. I wasn't paying attention and broke the bed."

The prince looked very puzzled, "You said you would go, and now you say you won't go..."

The prince said: "My face is not important. As a man, everyone knows who else."

"Old woman, you just think about these messy things all day long!" Su Daxueshi scolded, and flicked his sleeves to go to the study room to the west.

"You are such a grown-up girl, why are you still celebrating the New Year? We have distinguished guests at home, so you better stay here quietly."

However, just like all parents in the world, when their children make mistakes, they can't bear to take it seriously. At most, they frown and scold, "Where are your manners? Why are you so anxious?" Then they calm themselves down, sigh and point to the stool beside them, "Sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

Mrs. Su turned her gaze and blinked at the stars. Look, she can't even tell a lie, now she's exposed!

Xinghe's mind went blank, and she felt like she was going to pass out. Hadn't she told him to stop messing around last night? He had finally tricked her again today. She had no choice but to give up, so she nodded and said, "Let's team up and collapse the floor planks."

Therefore, the whole situation is in the hands of the prince. If he instructs local officials to report Prince Min, the prince's reputation as a fool will spread throughout the territory of Dayin.

Xia Ling said yes, "He is also the elder brother of the precious child in front of the second brother."

This word "弄" is really the most wonderful word in the world. The prince agreed seriously, "Yes, that's it."

Xia Ling was being unreasonable and twisted her body into a knot. "I just like him! Father, don't you think I'm pitiful? I'm a widow and an unemployed woman..."

Xinghe was very excited and said "I'll go too" and wanted to get on the bus, but Mrs. Su pulled him back.

Xinghe waved his hands repeatedly, "In fact, it was delivered to the Huo Mansion before the New Year. It has only been here for two or three days. It's a bit urgent to go now. Let's wait and see."

Mrs. Su and the Grand Secretary laughed dryly and waved their hands repeatedly, saying it was nothing. "What's the value of a piece of wood? It was originally used by maids to sleep on. If it breaks, it can be used as firewood. Hearing a sound on the first day of the New Year is a good omen."

Princess Xia Ling saw him and exclaimed, "Second brother is here too. You can go to their house for the reunion dinner, but why can't I go with Xing Hai to visit their house?"

Xinghe couldn't help but hold his forehead, "I'm not ashamed, I just have a headache."

The prince felt relieved now, thinking that it was a loud sound, so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth and made the ghosts cry.

Xinghe just sighed: "If Prince Min had half the cunningness of the Crown Prince, he wouldn't be led by the nose by others..."

Prince Xin staggered after being pushed. After he stood firm and turned around, he saw her running towards the palace gate crying.

In the end, Xinghe was pulled down. Princess Xialing appeared from somewhere and took Xinghai's arm, "I'll go with you."

The prince nodded and said yes, but he also felt bad for his half-sister. What's the point of forcing a cow to drink water

In order to show his determination to integrate, the prince insisted on eating with everyone. So a table of people sat around the table in the dining room, scooping Huiren rice porridge from a large bowl, each holding a small steamed bread, and eating with various pickles in front of them. Because the girl was unable to come back for the reunion dinner on the first morning of the new year, sweet soup was prepared again today, with two-color glutinous rice balls in it, sprinkled with red and green silk. One bowl for the girl, and one bowl for him, the half-son-in-law.

The prince looked very puzzled, "You said you would go, and now you say you won't go..."

Scholar Su couldn't pry the tweezers apart this time, so he could only bow to the prince, "The Su family has no intention of being disrespectful, but you can see that Xinghai is not interested, and we can't force him. Besides, my daughter-in-law has been filial to her parents-in-law and has been harmonious with relatives and friends since she entered the family. There is nothing that is not commendable. She is also a wife who was married in a formal way and has bowed to the ancestors in the ancestral hall. She has not made any mistakes. We can't just give her back to her parents' home for no reason to make way for the princess."

The prince asked, "The disaster star you mentioned is not referring to me, right?"

Xinghe said slowly, "Who is embarrassed?"

The emperor was confused. "Who? Su Xinghai? Su Yujin's son?"

Mrs. Su turned her gaze and blinked at the stars. Look, she can't even tell a lie, now she's exposed!

The emperor nodded, then turned to look at his eldest daughter who had given him a headache, and suddenly felt deeply powerless.

Xinghe just sighed: "If Prince Min had half the cunningness of the Crown Prince, he wouldn't be led by the nose by others..."

Xinghe was very excited and said "I'll go too" and wanted to get on the bus, but Mrs. Su pulled him back.

They couldn't eat the stewed deer tendons at this moment, so they left the residence and headed straight for Xuande Gate. The emperor was in Lizheng Palace, and Xia Ling entered the North Palace before them. She didn't go to Fengchu Palace to see her mother, but passed through Shenlong Gate in one breath and broke into the emperor's bedroom.

Just as he was about to turn around, Shanyin came in and said that Princess Xialing had gone to the palace to be in front of the emperor.

She said, "I don't have any idea. Anyway, our young lady is here, and I am here too. If our young lady goes back to Song Mansion, I will certainly not stay."

It is rare to find such a person who does not change his original intention because of his position change. Xinghe asked: "Princess Chengzi Xialing is making such a fuss in the mansion, what are you thinking?"

The prince pressed his hands and said, "Don't worry, the two of you. I saw it with my own eyes here today. If the emperor asks, I have my own explanation."

He tried to take the blame, but it only made it more obvious. "It's me. It's all my fault. I wasn't paying attention and broke the bed."

Xia Ling didn't even look at him, "I have something to say to the emperor, please get out."

"You are such a grown-up girl, why are you still celebrating the New Year? We have distinguished guests at home, so you better stay here quietly."

She said, "I don't have any idea. Anyway, our young lady is here, and I am here too. If our young lady goes back to Song Mansion, I will certainly not stay."

Who would dare to let a princess suffer a loss? The emperor was used to her exaggerations and did not take them seriously. "Explain clearly what she said, one by one."

She bowed slightly, walked down the steps and went to the door. Xinghe watched her go, and then saw the prince walking in with square steps. Suddenly, her eyes went dark. The three-day spring break was really too long. Today was only the second day. How would she survive the rest of the day? She felt that she had no future.

In the end, Xinghe was pulled down. Princess Xialing appeared from somewhere and took Xinghai's arm, "I'll go with you."

"You are such a grown-up girl, why are you still celebrating the New Year? We have distinguished guests at home, so you better stay here quietly."

Xia Ling's expression was normal. According to her, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man, and vice versa. But Xing Hai called his timid wife, "He Xian, just leave the child to the wet nurse, and you go with her."

The prince's face darkened, "I don't like to hear that."

The prince thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to Huo Yan's house? Didn't you say you wanted to go see Cao Zhan's son? It just so happens that we are free today."
