Wangfu Shenyuan

Chapter 101

Winter is getting deeper, and there is another heavy snowfall.Xia An rubbed his hands together, and stood at the gate of Lanxi courtyard, waiting for orders.He was called over early in the morning, but he was not allowed to go in. He had to stand at the door and wait for more than half an hour.

Concubine Xi, wearing snow-white fox fur, came from afar, nodded to Xia An, and went into the courtyard.It's rare for Xia An to see her wearing such elegant clothes. Concubine Xi always likes to choose some bright red clothes, just like her character is as enthusiastic.

After a while, Yun Bi came out and called Xia An in.

But it was because of the congratulatory gift presented yesterday to congratulate Concubine Xi's brother Lin Xuemo on his precious son, the concubine felt that the gift was too light and she lost the dignity of the palace.

Xia An lowered his eyes, thinking about the intention of the princess, when she heard the voice of the princess suddenly turned sharp, reprimanding him for not doing a good job, he was going to be fined half a year of moon silver, and then sent his wife to Mingxuan Courtyard to check.

Mingxuan Courtyard was originally managed by the princess, so it was reasonable for her to send someone there.But at this moment Concubine Xi already had the real power of the main concubine of the palace, she stood up immediately, said a few polite but rebuffed words, and left with a sneer.

Xia An looked at the bluish concubine on the main seat, lowered her head and apologized, and followed her out.

"Director, if we leave like this, don't we make it clear that we are with the side concubine?" Feng Ling held a black oil-paper umbrella for Xia An from behind.

"Nowadays, what's the point of keeping it secret? This day, I'm afraid it will change soon." Xia An tightened his collar, the year is approaching, and General Yin is going back to Beijing to report on his duties.

In the Nuan Pavilion of Tingfengyuan, Xia An was lying on Rongli's body, the two of them were reading the same book. The "miracle doctor" lay down on the stone bench and closed his eyes to take a nap.The four maidservants, red, blue, blue and purple, guard the four corners of the Nuan Pavilion, bowing their heads and waiting for orders.

The thick felt curtains blocked the howling wind and snow outside, and in the warm pavilion, only the "sizzling" sound of the burning charcoal fire, and the sound of Rongli flipping through books from time to time could be heard.

Life was quiet and beautiful, Xia An found a comfortable position in Rongli's arms, his eyelids gradually became heavy.Tsing Yi walked lightly, walked up to the two of them and knelt down silently.

Rong Li asked softly: "What's the matter?"

"Something happened to Concubine Xi. The carriage she took back to the Lin Mansion in the morning fell apart on the way." Tsing Yi replied softly.

"Fall apart?" Rong Li didn't want to deal with the two concubines anymore.It's not that he has a little kindness, but according to the current situation, the two concubines are really useless except for robbing some money in the mansion.For him, there is no use value at all.

Tsing Yi said: "Lin Xuemo probably doesn't know yet, the secret guard came back first to report."

Rong Li pursed his lips: "Very well, I will wait until he arrives before going over. You have to pretend to be full, but we should leave the scene to Lin Xuemo, anyway, we didn't do it."

"Go down and get a cloak." Rong Li ordered.

"No need to take it." Xia An opened his eyes and sat up. "I'm not sleepy anymore, I heard what Tsing Yi said just now, I didn't expect the princess to be so ruthless."

Rong Li chuckled: "The more timid a person is, the more ruthless he will be when he is pushed into a hurry."

"It was my accident." Xia An hugged the "miracle doctor" and smoothed the lazy dog's hair. "It's better to be a 'miracle doctor'. Although he has always been fierce, he has never actually bit anyone. The princess looks gentle and dignified, but when she does things, she is extremely vicious."

"She was also forced, but she had a good temper at the beginning. The only thing to blame is that she was born into a wealthy family, and the marriage is just a despicable means."

Xia An pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "It seems that God is still very close to me."

"Huh?" Rong Li didn't hear clearly.

Before Xia An could reply, Chi Yi came in from the outside and presented a letter from the flying pigeon.Rongli opened it in front of Xia An, and there were two large characters written on it: one hundred thousand.

"A [-] army?" Xia An asked.

Rongli nodded, and turned the note into powder with internal force: "Yes. It seems that the second brother really can't wait. All the soldiers and horses of the Yin family have returned, and the army in the northwest is empty. It is a good opportunity for me."

"Let Chu Yuanle go to the northwest. Don't regret the second prince's food and grass defenses. When it's time to empty them out, don't be soft." Rong Li ordered Chi Yi.

"What else are we going to do?" Xia An raised his head and asked.

Rong Li kissed Xia An's smooth forehead: "Wait."

New Year's Eve.The red lanterns hanging high in the Xianxian Wangfu are very eye-catching, and the sky above the Wangfu against the background is all red.Goose feathers and heavy snow fell non-stop.The dry branches were bent under the weight of snow, and the red walls lost their yellow tiles.

Xia An was wearing a big cloak, staring at the door with wide eyes.

Rongli entered the palace last night. He is still in charge of presiding over the New Year's celebration this year, but he has been promoted to a higher level than last year. He is no longer the deputy. That is to say, he has more opportunities and rights to manipulate the palace.

"My lord, it's four o'clock." Wei Huang reminded in a low voice.

"Is it already the fourth watch, and the third watch is not the end of the state banquet?"

Yellowish says yes.

Xia An stood up: "The emperor has appointed a prince, so there is no need for other princes to watch the year. Rongli hasn't come back until now, maybe something happened in the palace."

Wei Huang persuaded: "My lord, don't worry about it. It's useless for you to think too much here. What should happen will happen sooner or later. The master has already prepared a retreat in the palace. If it doesn't work, give up everything and just seek the whole body. Retire, I will find a paradise with you in the future, and live the life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence."

Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence?Xia An turned her head.

When it was almost five o'clock, Xia An put on his clothes and went for a walk outside.I can't sleep, and it's useless to lie on the bed, it's better to go out for a walk, at least to get rid of some worries.

Looking from a distance, Xia An frowned, why did he feel that the sky in the palace was redder.It is already a strange sight for the lantern to illuminate the red sky, but the current sky looks more like it was caused by a fire.

"Slightly yellow, slightly yellow?" Xia An called Weihuang out: "Go and see, is there a fire in the mansion?"

"Xia An, slightly yellow." Xiao Jin jumped in from outside the wall, his expression slightly flustered.

"What's the matter?" Xia An's heart was beating violently.

Xiao Jin said: "The palace is besieged, it's the second prince's men."

Xia An breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, what he heard was not about Rongli. "Let's retreat to the back mountain. Where are Guanshi Han and Ah Fu?"

"Han Fuchao has a master, and the second prince's people will not touch him. Ah Fu, Meng Yuanyi, Wang Naima and Xiaoxian have already waited in the tunnel after lunch."

Xia An lowered his head and touched the finger on his chest, and raised his head with determination in his eyes: "Let's say goodbye to the Wangfu. I don't know if the Wangfu will still be there when I come out."

"Yes." Wei Huang and Xiao Jin said in unison.

Xianxian Wangfu is a place that eats people.Xia An has suffered all kinds of suffering and humiliation here, but when it comes time to part, he will still be reluctant to let go.Because this place also allowed him to meet Rongli, he hadn't been out of the palace much, everything between him and Rongli, fear or admiration, almost all happened on this land.

I hope everything will be fine when the sun rises tomorrow.
