Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Like Yan Temple, Sun Mengmeng leaned on the soft bed with her eyes closed.

The sharp chin, the palm-sized face without a smile, like a flower that has lost its color.

At the age of 16, he looks sluggish and has completely lost the vitality he should have.I just sat there motionless, and I don't know how long I sat there.

At this time, the maidservant Yue Ji hurried in, and said in a pleasant tone, "Miss, tonight at the Ice Lantern Festival in Beijing, His Royal Highness sent someone to send a message, asking you to prepare to go out of the palace together at night.'
"Really?" Sun Mengmeng cheered up after hearing this, and sat up straight. "Your Highness is really taking me there?"

"Of course it's true." Rose is also quite happy, "Maybe I can meet Princess Ye at the lantern festival~~
Ever since the Crown Princess entered the East Palace, they wanted to send a note to the Ye Wang Mansion but they couldn't. I heard from a familiar servant-in-law that the Ye Wang Concubine had sent a post to the Ru Yan Palace, but it was also confiscated by the Crown Princess !
Sun Mengmeng just felt as if a bird had been locked up here, ignorant all day long.

"Miss, if you see Princess Ye, you must tell her about your situation in the East Palace, and let her find a way to rescue you." Lily's eyes were red, "I heard that the empress is going to take the infertile child in the East Palace. Liang Di cleaned up, "Let's go, I don't know how to clean up ~~"

Are they the former women of His Highness the Crown Prince? If the Empress wants to 'clean up' them, who knows whether they will be dead or alive when they are sent out of the East Palace?
"Well, I know." Sun Mengmeng's eyes also had a gleam of hope, "Quick, clean up quickly."

"Miss, don't worry, let's talk about dinner first." Rose wiped away her tears, since Miss entered the Eastern Palace and lost that child, how long has it been since she has been so energetic?
"I can't eat it." Tears welled up in Sun Mengmeng's eyes, and she recalled buying roast lamb chops on the night of the Lantern Festival in her mind. "Maybe there will be roast lamb chops for sale on the street. Buy them and eat them at that time." She has been through these days.

"Okay." Yue Li answered with a sob.

Ever since Miss was barren, Aunt Wang from the Rongluhou Mansion never sent anyone to visit Miss, as if she didn't exist.

Half a month ago, Rose tried every means to get out of the palace, and went to Rongluhou's mansion to ask Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang avoided seeing her.

When using the young lady, she made arrogance and tried every means to send the young lady to the East Palace. Now that the young lady has no use value, she just abandons it. How can such relatives be called relatives?
"Miss, don't worry, Princess Ye will definitely help you, and we will definitely be able to leave the East Palace alive." Lily couldn't sleep at night during these days, for fear that the queen would give the lady a bowl of medicine, so that the "Ruyan Palace" would be freed up.
How could Sun Mengmeng not understand? Every day she stayed in Ruyan Palace seemed to be waiting for death, such suffering almost made her lose hope.

Fearing that Shen Yu'an would be worried about her current situation, Sun Mengmeng picked out a peach-colored beige with a fur collar and put it on, and put on a purple cloak. Yue Li carefully put on her makeup again, and her overall look became much better.

After dressing up, she waited happily to leave the palace.

In Yuling Palace, Ding Xiaolian is having dinner alone, and she has no appetite at all.

She picked it up and down with her chopsticks, and put it down after taking a bite: "Where is His Royal Highness having dinner?" She looked at Momo Lei.

"I heard it's in Zhaoshu Palace." Madam Lei said.

Ding Xiaolian snorted softly, eyes full of disappointment.

Just when she was in a bad mood, Hongluan came in and told that His Royal Highness would take her out of the palace to see the ice lantern, but Ding Xiaolian couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

"Miss, if you don't go, won't the relationship between His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess go further? Don't give her this chance." Hong Luan worried.

Now that they entered the East Palace, competition for favor is inevitable.

"What's the use? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kept saying that the Crown Princess is as boring as 'wood', but as soon as the front foot came out of the Yuling Palace, the back foot had sex with someone~~'
This is how women are. After being monopolized by a man for a long time, they can't see their own position clearly, and overestimate their position in the eyes of men.

Ding Xiaolian didn't know whether it was caused by hormonal changes or other things after she became pregnant. In short, she began to worry about gains and losses. At first, she could tolerate it as a prince, but he still got annoyed after more times.

This is how women often fall out of favor.

"Hongluan, go and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, just say that I am unwell and will not go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yuande answered outside, "Aren't you going? Is Ding Liangdi still angry with the Crown Prince?"

"Xiao Lian dare not." Ding Xiao Lian hurriedly got up when he heard the prince's voice, and greeted him.

Wei Yuan held her hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is going to watch the ice lanterns, if Ding Liangdi doesn't go, wouldn't it be a disappointment?" These are Xia Luoluo's original words, Wei Yuande really listened to it, and came to invite Ding Xiaolian in person.

"But Xiao Lian is pregnant with a child and feels unwell and can't stand the cold'

"Isn't Zhong Liangdi also pregnant with a child? Why isn't she as delicate as you?" Wei Yuande's face darkened: "Besides, you've been living on the bed for the past few days, how can you look unwell?
Ding Xiaolian's jaw was stuffed and he was speechless.

……

On this day, Shen Yuan and Zhang Neng went to Tianxia Commercial Bank to inspect the business.

The streets are covered with snow, the shops are lined with thick snow, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves have icicles longer than your fingers. This is a dazzling world of ice and snow.
Occasionally there will be snow in the sky, but there is no wind, and it is not too cold to wrap a thick cloak and hold a hand stove.

In Shen Yu'an's imagination, it was so cold that everyone would definitely stay at home with a fire, and the street must be very deserted, but it was completely different from what she expected, the bustling street was still there.

Those selling candied haws, baked potatoes, and dried melon seeds~~ Except that they are much more expensive than usual, there is no other difference.

Pedestrians are crowded on the street, everyone should buy and sell, and they are not afraid of the cold at all.

When passing by Penglai Restaurant, I saw many diners waiting in line to eat, and the heavy snow would not affect people's lives at all.

Tianxia Commercial Bank is located in the bustling Anren Street. It is a relatively old building.

Coincidentally, opposite Tianxia Commercial Bank is 'Yongsheng Commercial Bank, Yongsheng Commercial Bank is gorgeous, ten times more dazzling than Tianxia Commercial Bank.

It's the twelfth lunar month, and everyone is focusing on the Chinese New Year, and so are the commercial banks.

Shen Yuan and Zhang Neng entered the commercial building together.

"Big boss~~Master Zhang." The manager of the firm is surnamed Qian. He was worried about the banquet held by the Prince's Palace at night before, and he has already met Shen Yuan.

After saying hello, Shen Yu'an and Zhang Neng entered the firm, drank tea and warmed up by the fire to look through the books.

There are four restaurants, five inns, five teahouses in the capital, and two farms outside the city.

It was also a loss of money before, but after Shen Yuan took over, King Xuan sent money stewards to the head office of Tianxia Commercial Bank, and the account began to be evened out.

It wasn't much, but it was profitable at last.

"We'll wait until next year to discuss the business matters, let's celebrate the New Year first." When he came out of the business, Zhang Neng giggled, "It's the first time for Princess Ye to celebrate the New Year in the palace, so I have to make a good preparation."
"Of course." Shen Yu'an blinked her big almond eyes, "But Mr. Zhang, how do you prepare for the New Year in the city? I used to be in the countryside, so I really don't know much about the rules in the palace.'

"It's okay, His Highness the Night King understands, let His Highness teach you."

"Can't you teach me?"

"No time, I want to teach my family Axue how to practice swords~~" After a pause, Zhang Neng suddenly said with great interest, "Hey~~ I almost forgot to hold an ice lantern festival in the capital tonight, but I have to take my family Axue out to see the excitement. '
"Not taking me?" Shen Yuan pouted.

"Call your Ah Xun belt~~" Zhang Neng said with a smile.

"Yuan is a man with a husband, how can you let another man take you out to play?" Ji Xun appeared out of nowhere, and hugged her from behind.

"Ah Xun came out of the palace?" Shen Yuan looked at him with a smile, and suddenly sniffed, "Ah Xun, why do you have a unique fragrance on your body? It's so familiar, as if I smelled it on someone~~'

"Really?" Ji Xun rolled up his sleeves and smelled it, and said in surprise, "It seems to have a scent, I don't know where it got on." Remembering that a guard bumped into him at the gate of the palace, the smell was similar to that of the guard I also have it on my body.

Just as he was about to explain, he saw Penglai Restaurant right next to him, so his thoughts diverged, and he said to Zhang Neng, "You go back home and call everyone out, and dinner will be served in the restaurant. After dinner, you can go to watch the ice lanterns."

"Okay." Zhang Neng responded and left.

"It's cold outside, let's go into the restaurant." Ji Xun took his wife in his arms and crossed the road to the restaurant. At this moment, Shen Yuan saw a familiar figure with a woman in his arms and entered a family opposite the restaurant. casino.

"Who is it?" Ji Xun asked Shen Yuan in a soft voice when he saw Shen Yuan staring at the opposite side.

"An acquaintance has entered the casino, don't worry about him." Shen Yuan smiled, and entered the restaurant with Ji Xun.
