Back on my wedding night, my husband sent me to the nine-thousand-year-old bed

Yan Ci picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Madam's mouth. Her voice was particularly gentle and lingering, "Huanhan, have you forgotten, what is your husband and what I am best at?"

Lin Wanyi suddenly realized.

What her husband is best at is confiscating homes!

Yan Ci accompanied his wife to dinner, and they actually went to see their son Xiaoheng together.

The little guy is much prettier and cuter now than when he was first born, white and tender, and wearing pretty pink clothes.

The tenderness in Yan Ci's eyes was as real as substance.

He even used a small rattle to tease his son, and the infant Heng also giggled.

Lin Wanyi sat nearby, watching this scene, feeling very comforted, and even began to imagine that in the future, the father would be kind and the son would be filial.

But the next moment, she heard Yan Ci sighing: "How wonderful would it be if you never grew up and were just such a soft and waxy little ball?"

Lin Wanyi: "..."

She estimated that it might be more difficult for the father and son to be filial in the future.

Although Xiu Mu was at home during the banquet, he still had to deal with some official duties, so he stayed with his wife for a while and then got up and went to the study.

He asked someone to call Tianji back.

"What happened to Shen San and his wife yesterday?"

Just as Lin Wanyi didn't believe that the person behind the scenes was Ma Wenliang, he definitely didn't believe the banquet speech. Not only did he not believe it, he also wanted to find out the person behind it, so as to avoid future troubles and avoid worrying his family!

Tianji cupped his hands and said, "Captain, Ma Wenliang hasn't contacted anyone for the whole day, but my subordinates found out that Ma Wenliang and the son-in-law of the Eighth Prince are drinking buddies."

Yan Ci narrowed his eyes.

The Eighth Prince was the emperor's cousin. Since he was not from the same family, he naturally had no interest in and was not destined for the throne very early on.

He devoted himself to being an idle prince and had many wives and concubines in his palace. But for some reason, he had so many wives and concubines, but only the eighth princess gave him a daughter.

The emperor felt sorry for his poor heir, so he gave his daughter the title of Princess Jinning.

At the same time, the Eighth Prince hired a son-in-law for his daughter, Princess Jinning. Princess Jinning also gave birth to only one daughter, named Zuo Xinrao. This county princess is now twenty-eight years old.

"That's it." Yan Ci narrowed his eyes and picked up the Buddhist beads on his wrist.

Although the eighth prince's granddaughter can be regarded as Yanci's cousin, Yanci didn't have a good impression of the Xiao family, not to mention that there was only one person in his heart, Huanchan.

"Go and keep an eye on Ma Wenliang and see if he took the initiative to please the Eighth Prince or if it was under the instruction of the Eighth Prince."

"Yes."

The reasons for the two are different, so the methods of treatment are naturally different.

"By the way, remember to inform Huanhua of the results of the investigation."

"Yes, Master!"

After Tianji left the study, he hurriedly went to see Lin Wanyi to explain the results of the investigation and the governor's decision.

Lin Wanyi nodded, "Just follow the governor's order."

"Yes, ma'am."

Dongfang Yanran was sitting next to her. She was holding some silver needles in her hands. The mother and daughter were studying how to prepare an efficient poison.

Dongfang Yanran asked curiously: "Didn't you avoid anything in the banquet speech?"

"Well, there are some things that he can let me know, and things that I want to know, he will let me know." Lin Wanyi had no intention of showing affection in front of her mother, so she changed the topic and said, "By the way Mother, as mentioned in the banquet speech, my father’s ban on returning to the capital at will has been waived.”

"Really? That's great!" Dongfang Yanran was extremely happy and said with emotion: "My son-in-law is really good."

Yan Xiaoqi, who was in the cage next to him, flapped his wings and said, "This son-in-law is not bad! This son-in-law is not bad!"

It barked loudly, which made Lin Wanyi and the others laugh.

Dongfang Yanran said: "This bird is quite smart and can talk. You can take it to the small room and play with it."

Lin Wanyi shook her head, "It's not appropriate. This bird is too smart and can say anything. Don't lead Xiaoheng astray."

What if in the future, when my son starts to learn to speak, his first sentence is "Hello, eunuch"?

When Dongfang Yanran heard about the bird's beak, she hurriedly said: "That's not suitable to bring to Xiao Heng to play with, but this bird can be educated. You can leave it in my yard for a few days and I will teach it to memorize the Compendium of Materia Medica." "

Lin Wanyi looked at Yan Xiaoqi with some sympathy, "Okay!"

Yan Xiaoqi didn't know that the tragic day was about to come, but she flapped her wings happily and whistled happily, shaking and shaking according to the rhythm of her own whistle.

Because of the cold weather and the need to move into the East Palace after the Chinese New Year, Xiaoheng's Full Moon Wine and Hundred Days Wine were combined into one event.

On the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, news came from Lucheng that the Daliang uprising completely failed and the former Ninth Prince Xiao Jingan was captured again.

It was no surprise that he was caught, since his legs and feet were not convenient after all.

No one can run faster than him.

And this victory laid the foundation for the prince's position in the court. Now the courtiers began to feel that without His Majesty in the Jinluan Palace, there seemed to be no impact.

At most, sometimes old ministers like Taifu Lu suddenly remembered and asked if His Majesty had recovered a little, and the banquet speeches would always be deceived with a very filial expression on his face.

Then the ministers gradually ignored the matter.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you have to think about your own family affairs. Who should think about the emperor's family affairs?

It was just a group of ministers who were about to go to court. Suddenly you looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Taifu Lu coughed lightly and said: "Your Highness, how do you want to arrange this year's palace banquet?"

At this time in previous years, there would be a palace banquet in the palace, but this year the situation was special. The emperor was ill, and the ladies with high taste were also cold.

Not to mention the princes.

If this palace banquet were to be held, it would probably be very ugly!

The banquet speaker waved his hand and said: "This year's situation is special. The Spring Festival palace banquet will be suspended once. However, at that time, you can all be in your own homes to wish my father the long life of all beasts and the prosperity of the Great Zhou."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words make sense. Then I will do what His Highness the Crown Prince said."

All the ministers agreed in unison.

In fact, everyone really wants to spend New Year's Eve with their families to have a reunion.

After leaving the court, the ministers dispersed one after another. The banquet did not leave immediately. Instead, they went to Cining Palace first and invited the Queen Mother to go to the Governor's Mansion this year to celebrate the New Year with them.

But who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother had packed his things and said, "Are you leaving now?"

Looking at the anxious grandmother, Yan Ci smiled and said, "You are too anxious. I have something else to do. Otherwise, I can have someone take you to the Governor's Mansion first?"

"Also."

The Queen Mother immediately took her two confidants, Aunt Lin and Qiulan, changed into low-key clothes and left the Cining Palace.

Sitting on the carriage and leaving the palace, the old man was as happy as a child. Aunt Lin smiled helplessly and said, "I have never seen you so happy during the Chinese New Year in the past years."

The Queen Mother smiled, "This year is different. In previous years, we celebrated the New Year, but this year, we are reunited with our families."

Just when the Queen Mother happily went to the Dudu Mansion, Yan Ci took care of everything and went to Qianqing Palace before leaving the palace.

The emperor sat back on a soft pillow, holding a book and reading it for an unknown amount of time.

After hearing the noise, he rolled his eyes and looked at the banquet speech, "I thought you went back home to celebrate the New Year."

"I'm going back soon."

The emperor's skinny fingers clenched the book tightly, and an untimely expectation rose in his heart.

"Then what you mean by coming to see me is..."
