As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 310
"It's not that I'm lazy and don't want to see you, it's just that I really didn't expect that I could catch a cold." Xie Zhaozhao explained with a smile, "And I really took a hot bath, who knows - maybe it was because I stayed in the rain for too long yesterday. "

At this time Xianggui brought hot tea.

Yun Qi took the tea and made a cup for Xie Zhaozhao and handed it to her, "I'm probably tired too. I'll just rest at home these two days."

"Oh."

Xie Zhaozhao held the tea cup in both hands, looked at Yun Qi and asked: "You stayed in the mountain all day yesterday, and you came to my place again at this time today. Why haven't you been busy with anything in the six departments in the past two days?"

"Fortunately... I have worked hard in the first half of the year, and I am almost busy with important things. Now that Grandpa Huang's birthday is coming, I can have a few days of leisure."

"But..." Yun Qi paused, "I should only have a few days to relax."

Xie Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat.

After the events of King Liang and King Zhou, the court also experienced a great purge. Except for the death of two people in the second house, the Xie family did not suffer any blow during this purge.

Now that Xie Changyu has returned to Beijing, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will soon be settled, and the only one left is the Northern Hebei side.

Hundreds of people in the Chen family have died, but up to now there has been no comment, and the King of Zhongshan has not sent anyone to the capital.

I'm afraid the final decision will be made soon on how to resolve the matter in Northern Hebei.

Judging from what Yun Qi means, is it possible that he needs to resolve the Chen family's affairs?

*
Five days later it will be Emperor Xuanwu's birthday, and the whole world will celebrate the amnesty.

All officials of the third rank and above in Beijing brought their families into the palace to attend the banquet to celebrate Emperor Xuanwu's birthday.

The Xie family received a special decree. This time, all the children of the Xie family in Beijing can enter the palace, and even Xie Huan went with them.

Xie Jiajia originally wanted to hide away, but due to the imperial edict, Long Wei was reluctant to follow Xie Zhaozhao and Yu into the palace.

She has a lazy temperament and usually avoids banquets in the palace whenever possible.

When she first married Su Xiangyang, she never went to social gatherings with Su Xiangyang's colleagues, and she never had much contact with the family members of Su Xiangyang's colleagues.

Now when I got off the bus at the gate of the palace, I saw that the ladies in gold and silver were still showing no interest, and I couldn't help but yawn.

"Jia Jia!"

Mrs. Yu shouted, "Be more restrained."

"Uh..." Xie Jiajia coughed and immediately became dignified, standing obediently beside Yu.

Xie Zhaozhao stood on the other side of the Yu family. After two lifetimes, she was used to ups and downs, and she was already able to calm down. She couldn't fault the rules and etiquette of several palace banquets, but she became the one who made Yu family feel at ease. .

Chen Shulan also came today, bringing Nanny Liu and Qing Moss with her.

When she entered the palace to attend the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, the grand pomp, dress and beauty surpassed all the official ladies.

Now that she has encountered a big change, she can only live in the Xie family. She comes with the Xie family's carriage, and her eyes have also changed. She is a bit timid and lacks the magnanimity of everyone's noble daughter.

Someone commented: "I heard that Miss Chen was frightened after the Shangyuan case."

"Really? But to be honest, if I saw such a bloody and tragic scene, I might be scared to death on the spot!"

"Who says it's not... It's really scary. Everyone in the house is dead, and she is the only one left."

"Do you think she has a bad fate? I heard that her mother died of exhaustion taking care of her. Her father was doing well in Northern Hebei, but something happened as soon as he arrived in the capital."

"Shh, stop talking nonsense."

Another lady reminded them in a low voice. When everyone saw Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Jiajia looking towards them, they immediately stopped talking and forced a smile.

Xie Jiajia snorted coldly, "I don't want to come to a place like this, I'm just tired of seeing this scene."

"Okay!" Mrs. Yu warned: "There are many people today, please restrain yourself and don't cause trouble."

Xie Jiajia said "oh".

"Mom, let me go with Miss Chen. She is still ill and will definitely not be able to adapt to this occasion." Xie Zhaozhao said.

Yu waved her hand to let her pass.

Xie Zhaozhao is now very familiar with Chen Shulan because he has to see Chen Shulan every other day.

Chen Shulan saw her coming to accompany him and smiled gratefully at her.

Afterwards, the group entered the palace gate together with other officials and their families attending the banquet.

Xie Huan followed Yu Shi, keeping his eyes wide open all the way. What he saw in front of him was extremely novel.

Although he was young, he was taught to be very sensible. Even if he occasionally found something he was particularly curious about, he would not exclaim loudly. Instead, he would pull Yu's sleeves and ask in a low voice when she lowered her head.

Some people saw Xie Zhaozhao and Chen Shulan walking together, and they didn't know how much speculation was going on behind their backs.

I remember that Xie Zhaozhao and Chen Shulan were evenly matched love rivals.

It's better now that Chen Shulan has become a fool by relying on others. Who knows whether Xie Zhaozhao's companionship is sincere or a mockery of the winner.

But naturally no one dared to reach Xie Zhaozhao's ears with such speculations and discussions.

Whether it is the Chen family or the Xie family, no one can easily offend them nowadays.

In the past half year, the capital was turbulent in the purge of King Zhou and King Liang, and the courtiers were affected to some extent. Now they all behave with their tails between their legs, and the family members do not dare to act rashly on such a big day.

After entering the palace, all family members still entered the harem first to meet the concubine according to the management.

At first, Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning were the most powerful in the palace. Now that King Zhou is unconscious and Concubine Ning's health is getting worse day by day, Concubine Xian is respected by everyone in the palace.

When all the officials and their families arrived at Concubine Xian's palace, it happened that Prince Liangdi also came with Yunyao and Princess Yunyue, and everyone paid tribute to Concubine Xian together.

Concubine Xian was very happy to see Xie Huan and asked him to come near and talk.

Xie Huan looked at Mr. Yu hesitantly.

Mrs. Yu said: "Go, Concubine Xian is very gentle, much gentler than grandma."

Concubine Xian smiled from ear to ear, "Sister Miaoyan said this to give me face through self-deprecation, so I am shameless."

"Your Majesty, I can bear it." Yu and Concubine Xian have always had a good relationship, and Concubine Xian can definitely bear the word "gentle".

Concubine Xian has been gentle and generous for many years. Who knows about her inside and outside the palace?

Xie Huan said "Oh" and walked to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian squeezed the child's hand and asked a few questions, such as how old he was, what book he was reading, etc. Xie Huan responded obediently, and his sensible appearance made Concubine Xian more and more happy.

"This child looks very similar to Chang Yu, but he looks much smarter than Chang Yu." Concubine Xian praised Xie Huan without hesitation, and took a small gold lock from the hand of the nanny on the side and hung it on Xie Huan.

Mrs. Yu quickly said: "Mother, this is too precious."

"It's just a gadget. It doesn't matter. I like this child, so let's treat it as a meeting gift." Concubine Xian said, and put the little gold lock on Xie Huan herself.

Mrs. Yu couldn't stop her, so she had to say: "Huan'er, thank you quickly."

"Oh..." Xie Huan said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, just like the Bodhisattva seen in Huan'er Temple."

The concubine Xian was very happy because of her childish words, "I like this child so much. He is five years old... he happens to be the same age as Anyang's Yan'er. Why don't we stay together in the palace study as a companion."
