The daughter of the incense on the pillow is above

Chapter 236 Gathering in the Capital
"The so-called concubines are nothing more than seeking power and profit. They represent the family behind them. Since they are ambitious, you don't have to sympathize with them." Chu Xuanye comforted her.

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan felt that the words made some sense, so she nodded with a smile.

In the morning of the second day, Xiao Jinyan and Princess Rong were dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dressed up.There is no way, there are not many other things in the harem, and there are definitely not many women.The emperor has a lot of women, not to mention the empress plus the four concubines, from the concubines to Zhaoyi, and then to the maids, there are not three thousand, it is estimated that there are two thousand.

Wherever there are women, there is comparison. When Xiao Jinyan and Concubine Rong go out, it represents the face of Prince Rong's mansion.Therefore, in terms of dressing, the two of them can't be worse than others, otherwise, they will lose the face of Prince Rong's Mansion.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the palace gate in a carriage, they changed into sedan chairs and entered.

Speaking of which, only the female relatives of the Rong Palace have such a great honor.

"Don't worry, just follow me." After getting off the sedan chair, Princess Rong softly told Xiao Jinyan.

"Yes, concubine mother." Xiao Jinyan obediently agreed.

"My maidservant has seen the concubine and concubine." Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could gain a firm foothold, some maids in the palace came out to greet her.The status of Prince Rong's Mansion is too noble, even the queen empress can't easily show off in front of them.

"Get up." Prince Rong's mansion ordered lightly, unlike in the mansion, Princess Rong at this time became very indifferent, her eyes looked at everyone with alienation.

Not only that, but the eyes of the girls beside her also became darker.

Xiao Jinyan tried her best to calm down the tension in her heart, and followed closely beside Princess Rong.

"My concubine has met the empress." After entering the room, I saw the empress and several beauties sitting in the room.Concubine Rong stepped forward to salute first, and Xiao Jinyan followed her, "Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Concubine Xian."

"The Concubine Shizi is indeed a stunning beauty." Concubine Shu teased Xiao Jinyan with a smile.

"That's right, she looks pretty, and she's very similar to Mrs. Xiao back then." Concubine Xian said with a smile.

"Sit down, this new year is not far away, and it's rare for you to come out in a year. The prince always takes care of you. This time, I found a chance to invite you to come and sit." The queen said with a smile. , looked at Xiao Jinyan again and said, "Oh, I'm jealous when I look at it. With such a beautiful face, it's no wonder that Aye can calm down."

"The daughter-in-law appointed by the first emperor is naturally the best." Princess Rong sent a nail to her without being soft or hard.

The queen smiled slightly, but didn't get serious with her.

"Siblings, sit here with me." The princess, who had been very quiet all this time, greeted her with a smile.

Xiao Jinyan turned her head to look, and found that the princess was not too beautiful, but she was looking at her with a kind face.

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Xiao Jinyan thanked her, then sat down close to her with a smile.

"My son is so kind. If he gets married this year, he may have children and grandchildren by the end of the year. After becoming a father, he will become more and more stable." Concubine De said with a smile.

"Borrowing the blessing of the noble concubine, but the children and grandchildren have their own blessings, I don't want to meddle in my own business." Princess Rong answered without leaking anything.

Xiao Jinyan was terrified when she heard it from the sidelines. These old fritters seemed to care about their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but in fact every sentence was a hidden needle.

Look, Empress Defei spoke nicely, as if she didn't know that she was in poor health.

"By the way, I heard that the concubine Shizi is not in good health, but has she been taken care of?" Concubine Xian asked the concubine with a smile, looking at Xiao Jinyan with kind eyes.

"Reporting to my mother, illnesses come and go like a mountain, and I'm afraid that my body will not recover in a year or two." Xiao Jinyan smiled shyly, and then said, "The son, father, queen, mother and concubine will not dislike me. "

"You child, but your body is a little weaker, and there are no multiple problems. You don't dislike anything." Princess Rong looked at her reproachfully.

"Yes, concubine mother." Xiao Jinyan lowered her head in cooperation.

Alas, I'm really tired.The royal women really are not fuel-efficient lamps.Aren't these women blatantly criticizing her because they are worried that she will be able to give birth to many children for Prince Rong's mansion?

Sure enough, her sad appearance made it difficult for the Queen and others to say anything.

Soon, Concubine De concubine made a suggestion that everyone enjoy a feast of wine and flowers.

What made Xiao Jinyan amused was that the wine brought out by the Empress was actually the fruit wine produced in her shop.

"Concubine Shizi, I bought these wines from your shop. The quantity is very small, and it's my palace who entrusted me to buy them." The queen said with a smile, "They have been greedy for a long time, so why don't they take the opportunity to come here to play the autumn wind? gone."

"We are big eaters."

"No."

……

Everyone was chatting and laughing around the queen. If she hadn't watched Gong Dou's modern drama, Xiao Jinyan would have believed that the emperor's management was good enough to allow his wives and concubines to live in harmony.

Fei Hua Ling is a game, to put it bluntly, it is to recite some poems with flowers.

Xiao Jinyan is not afraid of reciting poetry, not to mention the 5000-year Chinese poetry culture, because she is a talented student who graduated from a Chinese major, and she has something in her stomach.

Sure enough, after a few rounds, everyone else's faces were flushed from drinking, even Princess Rong's face was slightly red, but Xiao Jinyan hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol.

"Oh, what a mistake, I forgot that she is a talented woman."

"No, she can compare to the three sons of the capital, but we still recite poems and draw pictures in front of her. It's just a trick, it's ridiculous."

All of a sudden, the annoyance of all the beauties appeared on their faces one by one.

"Forget it, the wine is almost done, let's eat." Concubine De said with a smile.

Xiao Jinyan also laughed with everyone, ate quietly, and took care of Princess Rong from time to time, which made the queen and others envious, saying that Princess Rong had found a good daughter-in-law.

"Eight Treasure Chicken Soup." The eunuch sang in harmony, and the maid came out with a pot of steaming chicken soup.

The maids who waited around immediately filled a small bowl of chicken soup for the masters.

"Concubine Shizi, you took the medicine in the morning and you need to avoid it. You can't drink this chicken soup." Just as Xiao Jinyan was about to pick up the small bowl, Zisu who was standing beside her suddenly spoke.

Xiao Jinyan was startled, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, "I forgot, but luckily I'm full, otherwise, I wouldn't be hungry."

"Look how promising you are." Princess Rong glanced at her with a smile, "If you like it, you can ask the empress for one when you leave."

"Okay, I'll bring you some back later." The queen agreed with all her heart.

After eating, Princess Rong saw the tiredness in her eyes and lack of energy, so she took her farewell to the queen and others immediately.

The queen also saw that Xiao Jinyan was not active, so she agreed with a smile, "Come and have a sit when you have free time, my place hasn't been as lively as it is today for a long time."

"Okay." Princess Rong readily agreed, but her eyes fell firmly on Xiao Jinyan.

"I'm sorry, it's Jinyan who's not promising and disturbed everyone's interest." Xiao Jinyan explained embarrassingly.

"It's okay, your body is important." The queen replied with a smile, and the others followed suit.

After getting out of the palace gate and getting into the carriage, Xiao Jinyan, who looked sleepy, suddenly became full of energy, "Concubine Mu, is there something wrong with the chicken soup?"

"Fortunately, you are not stupid." Princess Rong nodded her forehead and said, "When you get back to the mansion, ask Zi Su, that girl knows a lot about medicinal herbs."

Along the way, Xiao Jinyan scratched her heart and lungs, wishing to know the secret immediately.

"Since you're pretending to be sick, you have to pretend." When she was about to get off the car, Princess Rong reminded her.

After hearing this, the lively Xiao Jinyan immediately became sleepy again.

After a while, Chu Xuanye appeared beside the carriage like a gust of wind, "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Sleepy." Xiao Jinyan answered listlessly.

"After playing in the palace for a long time, you may be tired. Take her back and let her have a good rest." Princess Rong said to Chu Xuanye.

"Yes, concubine mother." Chu Xuanye didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to hug Xiao Jinyan in his arms.

Xiao Jinyan was caught off guard and wanted to struggle down, but Chu Xuanye's hands holding her tightened even more.Princess Rong kept reminding her from the side, "Don't move around, your bones are not good, and he is not a display, let him send you back."

Xiao Jinyan...

How could it be broken to meet such an enlightened mother-in-law in ancient times?
She hid in Chu Xuanye's arms, her face flushed as if she had been stained with rouge.Although the mother-in-law is said to be open-minded, it is still too embarrassing to show affection with Chu Xuanye in front of the mother-in-law.

Chu Xuanye didn't care about these things. His wife was unwell. To him, this was a big deal. He carried Chu Xuanye directly back to the yard where they lived, and Princess Rong also went back to her own yard.

"Is the chicken soup poisonous?" Back in his yard, after Chu Xuanye put her on the bed, Xiao Jinyan got up and looked at Chu Xuanye nervously and asked.

"It's almost like poison." Chu Xuanye replied sternly, and he told Xiao Jinyan about the properties of the medicine.

Xiao Jinyan was stunned. She and Chu Xuanye had just got married, and she didn't expect that someone in the palace would attack her. Isn't this too impatient?

"It shouldn't be the queen's fault." Xiao Jinyan analyzed melancholy, "Is the situation in the capital very bad?"

"With the empress dowager in the emperor, you don't have to worry about one day suddenly turning your back. After all, with the empress dowager's support, that idiot in Yuemanlou became the emperor's personal physician. Haven't you heard of it? When the miraculous doctor made a move, Hades avoided it. He did They want to live a long life, but some people don’t want to.” Chu Xuanye said sarcastically, “Prince Ping of the northwest recruited troops and bought horses.

Xiao Jinyan became even more melancholy when she heard this. Since ancient times, the superiors have waged various wars for their own interests, but the ordinary people must have suffered the most in the wars.

"As long as King Ping makes a move, King Ning who guards the south will definitely rebel." Chu Xuanye dropped another bomb.

Xiao Jinyan was so shocked by the news that she almost jumped off the bed, "Isn't King Ning supporting the Second Prince?"

"On the surface, according to the spy report, King Ning had an affair with the princess of Ming Nanguo and secretly gave birth to two sons. The court knew about it, but because King Ning did not disclose the matter of the princess, strictly speaking , the princess is at most an outsider, so the emperor can only hold back his breath. As for outsiders, even if they know, they will at most praise King Ning for being sentimental. But in fact, the situation in Ming Nanguo is even more unstable..." Chu Xuanye patiently analyzed the situation in Ming Nanguo to Xiao Jinyan.

Only now did Xiao Jinyan understand why the emperor knew that King Ning was having an affair with a foreign princess, but he didn't suspect King Ning.Because although the Princess Mingnan is the eldest princess, she has no real brothers, that is to say, she has no help at all.

A princess without help can't make big waves, and the arrogant and proud emperor doesn't like her at all.

"If there is a war, shouldn't the emperor pay more attention to Rong Wang's mansion? After all, father and son are brothers, and father and son are fighting brothers." After Xiao Jinyan finished speaking, she fell down on the bed in despair, "as expected, the emperor Yes, mentally unhealthy, everyone looks like a rebel."

Seeing her innocent appearance, Chu Xuanye couldn't help laughing.

"You're still laughing, who do you think is likely to attack me?" Xiao Jinyan took the initiative to hug him and bite him, which was regarded as a small punishment.

Chu Xuanye wished for this kind of punishment every day. With a backhand, he pressed Xiao Jinyan under his body and kissed vigorously. Xiao Jinyan, who was directly kissed, repeatedly begged for mercy, so he let Xiao Jinyan go, "Fairy, no wonder the ancients said , To die under a peony flower is to be a ghost.”

"I know nonsense all day long." Xiao Jinyan tapped him lightly, and then asked with a smile, "Speaking seriously, the queen and princess have been ruled out of suspicion, they will never be so stupid as to be in their own territory The boss attacked me, and the rest of the people all looked like murderers. Unfortunately, I have also been poisoned by suspicion."

"There's no need to guess, it's Concubine De, but the real person behind the scenes is the emperor." Chu Xuanye replied holding her.

"How could it be?" Xiao Jinyan looked at him in surprise, she couldn't believe that Concubine De, that woman who smiled softly and seemed to have nothing to do with the world, would kill someone who had nothing to do with her.

"In the harem, there is nothing impossible." Chu Xuanye sighed and said, "In the future, I will try not to let you enter the palace."

"Yeah." Xiao Jinyan nodded vigorously, the palace is too scary, she is almost in a shadow, hey, if you can go or don't go, let someone like her who has no experience in palace fighting go in, I guess it can only be used as cannon fodder .

"Since you're tired, then take a good rest." Chu Xuanye shamelessly took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed to hug her.

"In broad daylight, what do others say?" Xiao Jinyan pushed him.

He didn't move, "Whatever others say? Sleep."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged Xiao Jinyan tightly, and Xiao Jinyan couldn't break free, so angry that he lay on his side and ignored him.Chu Xuanye pulled her into his arms with a smile, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Xiao Jinyan was so angry that she really fell asleep after a while.

Rong Wang's mansion has never suffered a loss, this time it almost suffered a big loss in the palace, Rong Wang and Rong Wang naturally will not swallow this breath silently.So, the next day, Xiao Jinyan made the gossip headlines again, but this time, she appeared as a victim.

"Have you heard that after entering the palace, the concubine Shi Zi fell into a coma as soon as she returned to the mansion." Passers-by secretly discussed.

"Xiao Jinyan's body is too weak." Some people disdain.

"What do you know? Xiao Jinyan's body has been healed by the Moon God Physician and has almost healed. There is a lot to be said for coma this time."

......

Although it is said that ordinary people cannot talk about royal affairs, the power of people's gossip is still terrifying. In addition, people's imagination is endless. The more words and deeds prohibited by the government, the more curious people are.When the rumor that Xiao Jinyan was poisoned by the palace spread to the palace, the queen mother and the emperor were all furious and immediately ordered a strict investigation.

Not to mention, some clues were found out very quickly. The one who shot was a concubine, whose rank was slightly lower, but only second to the fourth concubine.Unexpectedly, the rumors were true, the emperor and the queen mother were furious, and directly gave the concubine a three-foot white silk, and at the same time asked the palace to send a large amount of gold, silver and jewels to Rong Wang's mansion.

The attitude of Prince Rong's Mansion is very low-key, and no one has ever made trouble in the palace.After the gift was delivered to the palace, Chu Xuanye immediately became angry, clamoring to make the rumormongers look good, and stated that the concubine Shizi was just physically tired. This attitude made the spectators even more confused.But the rumors have stopped here.

"How is it?" Xiao Jinyan was not feeling well, and the most anxious people were the Mo family and the second room.

The two families coincidentally visited Xiao Jinyan the next day. As soon as Xie Luo saw Xiao Jinyan's face, he asked anxiously.

"It's just a little tired, the people outside are just talking nonsense." Xiao Jinyan replied with a light smile.

"Amitabha, it's fine if there's nothing wrong." After hearing her explanation, Mrs. Bai let out a long sigh of relief.She is a country woman, and she doesn't understand the complicated relationship in the harem at all. She naturally believed what Xiao Jinyan said.

But Mrs. Mo and Xie Luo are both from aristocratic families.They are very clear about the dirty things in the harem.The more calm Xiao Jinyan behaved, the more frightened they were.

However, Xiao Jinyan didn't want to say anything, and the Mo family didn't want to point it out either, "If you feel tired, just rest well, and leave the business in hand to the servants."

"Actually, I didn't bother with business matters. Most of them are taken care of by Shizi and Brother Yue, and Uncle Wang and Wang Ping also take care of my own business very well." Xiao Jinyan replied with a smile.

"Concubine Shizi, the young master brought a few people to see him, saying that he is an old friend from Jiangnan." Several people were talking, and Wang Yao came in to report new news.

"Is it a man or a woman?" If someone from Jiangnan said it was an old acquaintance, who could it be?Xiao Jinyan became curious.

"There are men and there are women." Wang Yao replied with a smile.

Now that there are men, guests cannot be entertained in the backyard.

"I'll go out and have a look, old madam, madam, let's sit and talk." Xiao Jinyan said politely.

Xie Luo saw that she still didn't change her name, her expression darkened a bit.

"Since we are old acquaintances in Jiangnan, mother, let's go out and have a look." Xiao Qingmei yelled enthusiastically.

"For such an old man, he knows how to yell nonsense all day long. The old madam and madam are still here, no big or small." Bai reprimanded her.

"Second aunt, don't scold my younger sister. I think my younger sister is so straightforward. My younger sister is right. The person from Jiangnan must be someone we know well. Doesn't second aunt go out with her?" Xiao Jinyan protected Xiao Qingmei. .

She really likes Xiao Qingmei, Xiao Qingmei is generous and not shy, the key is that she is a real person, and she doesn't have so many twists and turns, Xiao Jinyan feels very relaxed when she is with her.

"Old Madam and Madam..." Mrs. Bai was a little embarrassed, and felt that if they all went out, it would not be appropriate to leave Madam Mo and Xie Luo behind.

"Since that's the case, why don't we go out to see the excitement." The old lady said.

She is old, and since she spoke up, Xiao Jinyan didn't want to slap her face, so she agreed with a smile, "That's good, it's always more lively when there are more people."

So a group of people moved to the front yard. Fortunately, this is Xiao's house, and there are not many rules.

When everyone arrived at the flower hall, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when she saw the visitor, "Uncle, aunt?"

If it was the Xiao family that Xiao Jinyan regarded as relatives, then the Shen family of the Escort Bureau was regarded by her as her closest companions and friends.Xiao Jinyan will never forget, when she first arrived in ancient times, the Shen family comforted her, and the Shen family took care of their four siblings on the way to the capital.

Suddenly seeing Shen Shan and Yu Shi sitting in their own room, one can imagine the joy in Xiao Jinyan's heart.

She rushed to Yu Shi and hugged Yu Shi.

"You are Jinyan?" Yu Shi was stunned.Although she had inquired clearly when she came, but when she actually saw Jinyan, she still couldn't turn the corner for a while.

Returning to the capital from Taiyuan was a very difficult process. After all, they were worried about the Xiao Jinyan brothers, so as soon as they returned to the capital, they asked around for news about the Xiao Jinyan brothers.They thought it was a matter of finding a needle in a haystack to find a few children in the huge capital city, but who knew that they had just asked someone, and someone told them where Xiao Jinyan lived.

The sick child he took care of in the past turned out to be a girl, and now she has become the imperial concubine, Shen Shan and his party were so shocked that they could hardly speak.Later, they asked someone to find Jin Chen and Jin Chun, and then, they finally met Jin Yan.

Jinyan's appearance has changed so much that they can hardly recognize her, but her voice is still the same, very familiar.He is also the same as the old man, and he still treats people with sincerity.

"Little people and women have seen the concubine." Since they didn't know the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Mo family in the room, Shen Shan and Yu Shi only saluted Xiao Jinyan.

"Uncle, aunt, are you trying to hurt me?" Xiao Jinyan grabbed Yu Shi and avoided Chen Shan's salute, "Jinyan will never forget, if not for your care, maybe our sister The younger brothers can’t reach the capital at all.”

"Yeah, uncle and aunt are the best for us." Jinchun couldn't stop nodding.

"Great, we meet again." Bai Shi and Xiao Qingmei were also very happy.

After hearing Xiao Jinyan's words, Mrs. Mo and Xie Luo secretly remembered the Shen family in their hearts.

"Auntie, I miss you so much. Hey, why did you come back from Taiyuan? What about Brother Shen and the others?" Because she was too excited, Xiao Jinyan kept hugging Yu Shi's arm, asking questions one after another.

"They are all in the inn. This time, not only our family is back, but also the family members of other brothers in the bodyguard." Shen Shan explained embarrassingly, "A large group of people, including many women, children and children, we just found out Your news, how can so many people come to disturb you together."

"Uncle treats me as an outsider. Speaking of which, the masters in the escort agency are also my old acquaintances. Although I don't have apprentices, in the minds of Jinchen and me, you teach us martial arts, and you are our masters."

Whether these words are true or not, but considering Xiao Jinyan's current status, hearing these words makes people feel comfortable and gratified.

Shen Shan looked at Xiao Jinyan with gratitude and excitement.

So she was still a little nervous at first, but when she saw that Jinyan was still as honest as she was in Jiangnan, all the tension disappeared immediately.She grabbed Xiao Jinyan's hand distressedly as she did when she was in Jiangnan again, "You look much better than when you were in Jiangnan. In winter, will you still be afraid of the cold and cough?"

"Someone has taken care of me, and my health is much better. In winter, I still feel a little chilly, but it is much better than before, and I hardly cough." Xiao Jinyan looked at her with a smile and replied, "Isn't uncle and aunt planning to settle in Taiyuan? Why? Why are you back in the capital again?"

"It's hard to say." Shen Shan said hesitantly, obviously he didn't want to mention it in front of the unfamiliar Mo family.

Xiao Jinyan is a smart person, seeing that he is unwilling to speak, naturally she is unwilling to continue asking.

"How many people are there? Which inn do you live in?" Xiao Jinyan asked.

"It's at an inn on Southwest Street." Yu answered shyly.The Escort's business has been suspended for more than a year, and the family switched to a small business, but because they are not good at management, the income is meager, and they have to maintain the lives of other brothers in the Escort, the life of the Shen family is not very good.

Of course, neither Shen Shan nor Yu Shi thought of mentioning these difficulties in front of Xiao Jinyan.

"Let them have a light meal at home tomorrow, I haven't seen you for a long time." Xiao Jinyan was very excited.

"Yes, Uncle, Aunt, Jinchun and I miss you all too." Jinchen couldn't help interjecting, Xiao Jinyan had feelings for the masters of the Escort, why didn't he?
In order to protect Xiao Jinyan, he has been practicing martial arts with the escort masters since he was very young.It is no exaggeration to say that Escort is his second home.

"This?" Mrs. Yu was in a bit of a dilemma. There were quite a few people coming back from the Escort this time, more than 30 people, old and young.Wouldn't it be too noisy if everyone came to visit us?

"That's it." Xiao Jinyan made a decision with a smile.

"Auntie, this is Xiao's house, there are not so many rules, and the son and brother-in-law won't mind, so you don't have to worry." Jin Chun comforted her.

"Okay then, we'll tell them when we go back. They will be very happy when they find out." Yu finally agreed with a smile.

When the ancients meet again, there is always something to say.

Seeing this, the old lady of the Mo family and Xie Luo did not stay to be annoying, and offered to leave.

"I'll see you off, old lady, madam." Jinchun said politely to old lady and Xie Luo.

"Okay." The old lady agreed with a smile.

Xie Luo glanced at Xiao Jinyan, and agreed with a smile.

Jin Chun happily sent them out immediately, while Jin Chen looked at their backs with a complicated face.

"Are they the mistresses of the Mo family?" Yu couldn't help asking.

Xiao Jinyan nodded with a smile. She felt very complicated about the Mo family, and she didn't even know how to get along with Mrs. Xie Luo.But people are not made of stone. She can feel the kindness of the old lady and Xie Luo to her. For example, when they knew that she was unwell today, the Mo family rushed here first.

But emotionally speaking, the Mo family and the Xiao family are different after all, and Xiao Jinyan really doesn't know how to get along with each other.

"Uncle, Auntie, why are you returning to Beijing at this time?" Xiao Jinyan repeated the old words when no outsiders were present.

"A big incident is going to happen in the northwest." Chen Shan gritted his teeth and replied.

"What's the big deal?" Bai asked in surprise.

"This can't be spread outside." Shen Shan told everyone seriously.

"There are no outsiders here, so naturally they won't spread the word." Xiao Jinyan also assured her earnestly.

"That's right, no one will spread nonsense." Bai said.

"Oh, there is probably going to be a war in the northwest. Jin Yan, you should prepare more." Shen Shan sighed.

Bai Shi was taken aback, "Could it be that the Tartars from the north are coming here?"

There has been no war in Tianyuan Kingdom for many years, and the country has always been safe and peaceful. If there is a war, how many people will die?Also, what should I do if I have to serve corvee or something?Bai's mind was in a mess.

Xiao Qingmei also seemed at a loss, and her mind was a little dazed.Ordinary people, the biggest wish is for the country to be peaceful and the people safe, so that their families can live a good life.

It would be terrible if there was a war.

"King Ping brought Prince Ping to Beijing to report on his duties. Unexpectedly, Prince Ping met a thief on the way and was seriously injured. It is said that he will not even be able to stand up in the future. For this reason, King Ping was furious, and now people over there are in panic. .If it wasn't for a brother's friend working in Prince Ping's Mansion, we wouldn't be able to escape and come back so quickly." Shen Shan spoke very vaguely, and didn't make it clear.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Bai Shi and the others, then stopped cleverly.

"Auntie, it's been a long time since I've had Jiangnan dishes made by you. I'm so hungry. No, you are not allowed to leave today. I will have the cheek to let you cook. I am greedy for Jiangnan dishes."

"Okay, okay." Yu Shi nodded and agreed.

"I'll help you." Mrs. Bai followed along. "You also go to fight with me."

Bai Shi was not stupid either, she knew that Xiao Jinyan wanted to talk to Shen Shan in private, so following Yu Shi's wishes, she dragged Xiao Qingmei away.

"Jinchun, Jinchen, you guys also go to arrange some, let the kitchen make more snacks, and let uncles and aunts take them back to the inn later." Xiao Jinyan ordered.

"Yes, sister." Jinchen pulled Jinchun out.

"King Ping only collects grain and grass in the west, and he has more and more frequent contacts with the Tartars. The supply of grain in the west is already in short supply, and the price is changing every day. Many people can no longer afford it." Shen Shan sighed and said, "I heard that some Officials have been imprisoned."

"Who is Brother Shen's friend?" Xiao Jinyan asked hesitantly.If it is true as King Ping said, then it won't take too long, maybe only a few months, there will be turmoil in the west, and then the south will follow...

To be honest, Xiao Jinyan really didn't want to see the tragic scene where the people were in dire straits, but she couldn't control everything in the world.

"He was originally a brother of the Escort Bureau, but later he returned to his former residence and became a small leader of the Imperial Guard in Prince Ping's Mansion. He risked his life to deliver the news to us." Shen Shan said with a sigh, "We got the news and cleaned up the things overnight. Then it came out."

"Do you want to go back to Jiangnan?" Xiao Jinyan couldn't help asking.

Shen Shan nodded, "Anyway, Jiangnan is also where we have lived for half of our lives. We also have some real estate there. After tidying up, everyone can find something to do later, and we can still live on. sold his yard, and then bought some fields in the countryside to live on.”

After finishing speaking, he sighed heavily again, "Jin Yan, to put it bluntly, I can be regarded as watching your brothers grow up. I think King Ping's plans are not small. Since he doesn't let go of even the officials of the court, Presumably he has a lot of ambitions. In addition, he sought skins from wolves and chose to cooperate with the Tartars. He will definitely fight back to the capital in the future. You'd better plan early. Anyway, Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, even if there is a war , presumably it will rarely affect Jiangnan."

Xiao Jinyan saw that he was always thinking about himself, and nodded movedly, "Going back to the south of the Yangtze River is fine, but uncle should not be too optimistic. As long as there is a war, the land of the same Tianyuan Kingdom will be safer because it is far away, but it will not last long after all. It's a plan."

"Is the land of the world the king's land, even if we are anxious, what can we do?" Shen Shan seemed to see clearly.

Xiao Jinyan wanted to say something intimate to him, but after thinking about it, she held back.If there is no need, it is better not to say it.What's more, what Chu Xuanye said to her must not be spread outside the public, even if she thinks Shen Shan is reliable, she can't talk nonsense.

"My concubine, what Master Shen said makes sense. However, I feel that when things come to an end, God will always give everyone a way to survive. The south of the Yangtze River is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it will take a long time for war to spread there. What's the use of worrying now?" Yang Yinger interrupted with a smile.

"The imperial concubine is always wise, but this time she is not as far-sighted as Yang Yinger." Wang Yao joked.

Because Xiao Jinyan usually has a good relationship with everyone, she never puts on airs in front of them, and the girls dare to say anything.Sure enough, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help laughing when they interrupted her, "It's my fault instead."

"What's wrong?" Several people were talking and laughing, and Chu Xuanye came in with a smile.

"Master." The two girls smiled and saluted Chu Xuanye.

Shen Shan didn't know Chu Xuanye at first, after hearing what the two girls said, he immediately got up and prepared to kneel down to Chu Xuanye, and said, "The villain Shen Shan has seen the prince."

"Get up." Unexpectedly, Chu Xuanye had no airs at all, and directly supported him with his internal force, "Excuse me. If you kneel down for me, I won't even be able to enter the room at night."

The two girls couldn't help laughing when they heard this, Xiao Jinyan was so ashamed that she blushed, this bastard really dared to say anything.

Of course Chu Xuanye dared to say anything, he wished to show the love between him and Xiao Jinyan to everyone.

"And poor-mouthed." Xiao Jinyan glared at him angrily.

Chu Xuanye just smiled and stared at her, feeling that he couldn't get enough of it, "Did you drink the soup?"

"Pisu will be delivered in a while." Xiao Jinyan replied, she cared no less about her body than Chu Xuanye.

"Sit." Chu Xuanye greeted Shen Shan.
