Xi Qingyan didn't see the fireworks that night because she was already tired that day, so after Bai Zhi helped her wash up, she climbed into bed and went to sleep.
But that night she slept very peacefully, sleeping until dawn without any nightmares. Could it be that it was already three o'clock in the morning when she woke up, and even Mu Zhimin, who usually slept in, had already had breakfast. .
After Qingyan got dressed, she got up and got out of bed and opened the door. The girls in the yard were kicking shuttlecocks to exercise. Qingdai was the best at shuttlecock kicking. Her movements were very light and she could always catch the balls that fell far away. Shuttlecock, the other girls cheered.
The demons and the others looked at the figures playing in the distance with smiles on their faces.
When she heard the door opening, Qingdai was the first to react. She kicked the shuttlecock directly to Chi Shao, and then walked towards Qingyan with a smile.
"Miss, you're awake. I'm going to help you wash up now." Qingdai said and walked neatly in the other direction, and then quickly walked in with a basin of water.
"I slept for too long today, and I even forgot the time." Qingyan put the towel in the basin and looked at her with a slight smile on her face.
"I'm afraid the lady was too tired yesterday." Qingdai looked at Qingyan and said with a smile, "The master and his wife went to court early in the morning, partly because of this year's New Year's Eve banquet."
Listening to Qingdai's words, Qingyan still smiled and nodded, then folded the towel and put it on the plate, "There is still food left in the kitchen in the front hall, and I happen to be hungry now."
"I knew the lady was hungry, so I specially left bijing porridge for the lady, and also left her favorite light side dishes." Huang Cen said and walked in with a plate, "Madam also specially asked the servant to have some Leave some for the lady."
Looking at the food on the plate, Qingyan looked up at them with a smile, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have starved to death."
Listening to Qingyan's joking words, the two of them stood aside with smiles on their faces.
Qingyan, who had finished her breakfast, also exercised with them for a while, and then walked towards the study. Behind her were three people, Yao Xiao, Yumei and Shadow.
Luo Yiqian has now moved into Xuanyuan Yuzhe's mansion, also to test Shaoyao's bottom line, so Luo Yiqian has never done anything too extreme, and Shaoyao also asked the servants not to tell Xuanyuan Yuzhe.
It seems that Luo Yiqian took action just when they wanted to succeed. After all, they have always thought that Shaoyao is an easy person to deal with, but do you really think that the girl from the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion is easy to deal with!
Xuanyuan Yufan, Su Qingming, Luo Yijue, please don’t laugh at the girl who came out of our Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion.

The prince was accused by other ministers during the early court. The most important thing is that the prince's body is not suitable for this position at all. Some ministers even openly provoked the prince's identity in the court. They relied on their identity It's hard to rely on one's old age, but fortunately, Su Yun, Luo Guancheng and others are all maintaining the image of the prince.
Although the prince is frail and sick, he is still the eldest son of Toga Kingdom, and the prince's kindness is not the same as Xuanyuan Yufan's ruthlessness.
But Xuanyuan Yuze and Xuanyuan Yuzhen knew very well that most of these people had become Xuanyuan Yufan's lackeys. They believed that as long as Xuanyuan Yuze died, only Xuanyuan Yufan would be able to sit on the throne. They even forgot that. It turned out that Emperor Hongjia's favorite one was actually Xuanyuan Yuzhen.
After going down to court, Xuanyuan Yuze would naturally keep Xuanyuan Yuzhen around and say that he wanted to discuss important matters. As for Su Yun, Luo Guancheng, Marquis Jingguo and other senior ministers, Emperor Hongjia would treat them personally.
After Xuanyuan Yuze returned to the East Palace, he immediately retreated from everyone. He looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said helplessly, "Fourth brother, you have seen it today. Those people just want me to die so that the second child can directly Inherit the throne, but they have all forgotten that the prince my father loves most is actually you."
"Prince, don't be anxious. I will naturally help you handle this matter." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at him and said respectfully, "If the second son wants to ascend the throne, he must see if I agree."
"Fourth brother, people in the court are in panic now. Most of the ministers favor the second child. I never expected that even the third and fifth children would favor the second child. I was really wrong at first." Xuanyuan Yuze looked at it. As he spoke, he punched the table with his fist, but the physical discomfort soon caused him to vomit blood.
"Brother." Xuanyuan Yuzhen said, immediately walked to the side to support him, and then shouted to the door in a cold voice, "Send the doctor to the doctor quickly."
After the imperial doctor confirmed that Xuanyuan Yuze was fine, Xuanyuan Yuzhen let him go, and not long after that, the queen appeared in the East Palace.
"Prince, why are you so careless? If the fourth child hadn't informed the queen, would you have planned to hide it from the queen again?" The queen looked at Xuanyuan Yuze lying on the bed and said distressedly, "Why are you doing this? Those people, you You should be used to it by now."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the queen and said calmly, "Mother, please don't worry, I will definitely handle the prince's matter."
The queen turned her head and looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhen and said with a smile, "Fourth, it's a blessing that the prince has such a capable assistant by his side for so many years. Otherwise, the prince would have died a long time ago due to those people's schemes."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the queen with a respectful look on her face, "The queen is joking, brothers only see that helping each other is their duty, but I have ignored the matters in the court today." He clenched his fists as he spoke. .
Marquis Jingguo wanted to help Xuanyuan Yufan get the throne, but he also wanted to see if he had the ability.
"Fourth, my health is fine. Don't worry. Besides, my mother is here to take care of me. You should go back first." Xuanyuan Yuze looked at him with a warm smile.
Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the pale man and nodded respectfully, "Okay, then I'll take my leave first."
Looking at Xuanyuan Yuzhen's back as he turned away, the queen held Xuanyuan Yuze's hand and said distressedly, "Prince, what happened in the court today? How did your good body become like this?"
"Mother, my son is fine. As for the matters in the court, it is not only that my son is weak and not suitable for the position of prince, but also that he should be given the position of a capable person." Xuanyuan Yuze's lips murmured. He opened a bitter arc and said, "My son doesn't want the position of prince either. Mother, you should be able to understand my pain."
The queen listened to Xuanyuan Yuze's words and held his hand distressedly. How could she not understand what Xuanyuan Yuze was thinking, but Xuanyuan Yuze was the eldest son, and the rule of the Toga Kingdom was that the throne was passed on to the direct descendants. eldest son.
And this is probably why Xuanyuan Yuzhen has been helping him.
