After everything was sorted out, Jiang smiled and took Yan Yu's hand to talk about the Wei family.

"This injury is worth it!" Jiang smiled happily, "Wei Hao was demoted to Minister of Rites and left the cabinet. He will never be able to move up again in his lifetime!"

Jiang's original intention was to teach that bitch Liu a lesson. This woman had lived for so many years and raised such a shameful daughter. She deserved to suffer.

Who knew that Wei Hao cared so much about the relationship between husband and wife? The emperor wanted to sentence Liu to death and asked him to divorce her first. As a result, Wei Hao would rather be demoted than divorce his wife.

It can be seen that the emperor truly admires Wei Hao's talent and wants to separate him from his wife and daughter.

Once his daughter married off, his wife was sentenced to death, and he could marry a new one so that she could continue to be the emperor's confidant.

What the world lacks the least is talented people. However, many talented people are buried and difficult to be promoted throughout their lives.

Even if Wei Hao doesn't give the emperor this face, the emperor doesn't necessarily have to have him.

He was demoted this time and withdrew from the core circle of power. Someone will take his place soon, and it just depends on who that person is.

Wei Ruxuan has lost such a powerful father, her mother has been deprived of her imperial title, and she has become a concubine. So she should go to the Fifth Prince's mansion to live a good life.

Yan Yu raised his hand and touched Jiang's face, still feeling sorry for the injuries his aunt had suffered.

Jiang knew that Yan Yu was very filial, so she patted her hand and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. The night market in Beijing is very lively, shall I take you out for a walk?"

When Yan Yu was at the Shao family, he never went out of the house because there were two ancestors keeping him under pressure. No matter how bold Jiang was, she didn't dare to take Yan Yu out.

Now that she has come to the capital, Jiang has become the oldest one, so naturally, whatever she says goes.

The atmosphere in the capital is much more open than that in Lingcheng.

After living for so many years, this was the first time that Jiang knew that he could sell things at night!

Yan Yu's eyes lit up instantly: "Aunt, can we really go out?"

Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, aunt has brought enough people."

Jiang prepared enough carriages and horses, and went out with Yan Yu after dusk.

When Yan Yu was about to get off the carriage, Jiang put a rabbit mask on her face and said, "I bought it from a roadside stall a few days ago. It's quite fresh. I bought a few for your sisters and you can bring them with you when you return to Lingcheng."

Yan Yu adjusted the mask on his face and said, "Aunt, is it abnormal for me to wear a mask alone?"

"No." Jiang took her hand and went away. "This is very popular in the capital recently. I have even seen people wearing gold masks on the street."

When Yan Yu heard her say this, she immediately felt relieved. She looked towards the street and indeed saw several young women wearing similar masks.

All the shops on the entire street are open, and everywhere is decorated with lights and it looks like Chinese New Year.

When Yan Yu was very young, she was taken out by her father. At that time, she rode on the head of the Duke of Zhenguo and could reach the colorful lanterns hanging on it with just one hand.

The maids who followed Yan Yu had not been out for many years. Bichun and Ruidong's eyes rolled around and they couldn't help looking around.

Jiang smiled and said to Yan Yu: "It's lively, isn't it?"

Yan Yu was also very happy. He took a pair of ceramic tigers from the stall and played with them. Bichun quickly took out copper coins from her purse to buy them.

Jiang was still selecting some rare things, planning to take them back and share them with her sisters at home, so that they could see these little things bought in the capital.

Yan Yu saw a painting stall not far away, where a vendor was painting on fans and selling them.

Now the weather was getting hotter day by day. Yan Yu was not interested in the painting on his fan, but was interested in his fan, so he took his maid over.

When she first came to the capital, Yan Yu had actually thought in her mind what kind of person the Fifth Prince she was going to marry would be.

She had actually not met many people in the boudoir for many years. Suddenly, she came to the capital from a familiar place. Facing the empty Duke Zhenguo Mansion, Yan Yu felt a little melancholy when she recalled some memories of her parents when they were still alive.

I just didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would do such a thing.

Tonight, Wei must have married into the Fifth Prince's household, and the two of them are happily drinking together to celebrate.

I don't know what kind of person His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is. People outside say that he is cruel and inhumane. Is this true or not? And...

Yan Yu was just thinking about something when he heard the sound of horse hooves. Someone was riding a horse past here.

Yan Yu was thinking about something that was beyond his expectations and was nearly hit by a horse.

When the man on the horse passed by her, something fell off his body.

Yan Yu picked it up curiously, and it turned out to be a document.

At this time, the man on horseback fell back and said, "Bring it here."

Yan Yu raised his eyes slowly: "You are riding a horse through a busy city. Aren't you afraid of hurting women and children on the road? Article 72 of Volume 3 of the Wei Law stipulates that 'horses are prohibited in public'. You have violated the law. Also, if you want to take something from me, you should apologize for the collision first."

Jiang was beaten up just these two days ago, which shows that people in the capital are unreasonable and each of them relies on their status to act tyrannically.

Ruidong, the maid behind Yan Yu, saw that this man had a natural noble look, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and rode a tall, sleek horse, which was not something that ordinary people could have. In addition, he wore a purple gold crown on his head and a white jade ring on his belt. Even if he was not a king or a general, he was at least a son of one of these families.

Ruidong was worried that his young lady would be beaten up like Jiang, so he quickly revealed Yan Yu's identity: "Sir, my young lady is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. You just bumped into her on your horse. As long as you sincerely apologize, our young lady will definitely return the things in your hand to you."

Xiao Chengji's gaze moved from the document in Yan Yu's hand to her face.

To be precise, it was a funny rabbit mask.

He rolled the whip in his hand, and the document in Yan Yu's hand quickly flew back to his hand.

Before Yan Yu could react, a black gold token replaced the stack of documents and fell back into her hands.

With a crisp sound of the whip, the man disappeared on his horse into the street.

Ruidong quickly supported Yan Yu and said, "Miss, that man is obviously not a good person. Aren't you afraid that he will whip you with a horsewhip? Third Madam was beaten! People in the capital are not as gentle as those in Lingcheng!"

Yan Yu looked down at the token in his hand.

"Order from Xiao Chengji, King of Qin of the Great Wei."

This thing is very tricky in her hands.

The owner of the token looks even more unpleasant.

Yan Yu put the token in his sleeve, thinking that it would not be too late to return it to him on the wedding night.

But since the other party doesn’t have the token, it might be inconvenient for him to enter and leave the palace.

But all this has nothing to do with her, since he gave it to her on his own initiative.
