On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the princes came to Taiwu Hall to pay New Year greetings to the empress.

Feng Changdi led his bride and waited outside the palace, watching Feng Jinchen approaching from a distance, he couldn't help joking, "The fifth brother's happy event is approaching, and he is also energetic, and his rosy face will catch up with me This groom is official."

"Third brother made fun of me." Feng Jinchen was in a great mood, everything was pleasing to the eye.

The queen looked at the third prince and his wife, and the fifth prince couldn't hide the smile on his face.Thinking about the two beside me again, the Ninth Prince is suffering at the border at this time, and there is another one close in front of him, but he can't recognize each other, and his heart is full of bitterness.Thinking of the man and wife that Li Yan returned to, made her even more displeased.

Immediately he ordered Cuishang, "When you announce those wives to enter the palace later, bring the one from Li Shilang's family with you!"

Cuishang glanced at her, and immediately understood the queen's intentions, and hurriedly bowed down and confessed.

And Li Yan's home was full of excitement at this time.

Because the official seal had been handed in years ago, the court did not start until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. During this half month, Li Yan returned enough to be able to spend time with her family.

Early in the morning, Minghui handed over the red envelopes that he had prepared the night before to Ruan Fu, and asked him to distribute them to the servants of the mansion. At the same time, he also wrapped a large one with Ruan Fu, who Ruan Fu thankfully accepted.

Li Yanhui smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, I have always treated everyone who is with me, no matter what their status is, as equals, and treated them like family members. No matter what happened in the past year, just let it go. In the new year, I hope we can work together and live a good life together."

When Ruan Fu heard the words hidden in the needle, cold sweat broke out on his back, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, this old slave will definitely do his best, and dare not slack off!"

After a while, Xiao Qiu and A Xu walked over, talking and laughing, wearing hats inlaid with fox fur and two brand-new cotton coats.Looking at it from a distance, Li Yan was relieved to see the average height, the same pink and jade carvings, and ice and snow intelligence.

"Father, Daddy, Xiaoqiu wishes you all New Year's greetings!"

"Father, Father, A Xu wishes you a New Year!"

Minghui helped them both up with a smile, gave them the prepared red envelopes, and said with a smile, "It's a new year, and you are one year older, so you can't behave like before, especially Because there are noble people everywhere in this capital, you have to be cautious in everything and don't be rash!"

"Yes, Daddy!" Xiaoqiu said with a smile, "Ah Xu and I know!"

Li Yanhui said from the side, "After the year is over, I will invite another gentleman for you. At your age, your studies cannot be neglected!"

"Oh." As soon as she heard about the study, Xiaoqiu's high interest swept away most of it, her little face was wrinkled into a ball, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

A Xu asked, "Father, Father, can we go play on the street for a while today?"

Li Yan nodded back and said with a smile, "Yes, but don't run too far."

Just as he was talking, Zhou Yue also rushed over, and said with a smile, "Oh, sorry, I'm late. Brother Yan Hui, Brother Ming Hui, I wish you all New Year greetings!"

Ming Hui smiled, "You came back so late yesterday, it's normal to wake up late."

When Li Yan saw that his neckline was slightly open, a crystal and moist jade pendant slipped out, and the red mark that had not yet faded, Li Yan couldn't help but sighed secretly, and went forward to close his collar for him, with a pun in his words Said, "The weather is extremely cold now, don't act recklessly just because you are young, in case you get hurt and the root cause of the disease will be you will suffer in the future!"

Zhou Yue was guilty at first, so he couldn't help blushing when he heard it, and he replied indiscriminately, "Yes, yes, Brother Yanhui is right." But he couldn't help but think in his mind that when Feng Jinchen left at dawn, he had whispered in his ear. Said loudly, "A Yue, no matter what happens, you have to trust me! From now on, I will only have you in my heart!"

When Li Yan saw that he obviously didn't listen, she took him aside and said, "I have something, I think it's better to tell you first."

"Ah, what's the matter?" Zhou Yue came back to his senses and asked.

"The emperor has given marriages to the third and fifth princes. The third prince got married years ago, and the fifth prince's wedding is set on the tenth day of the first lunar month." /, "What?" Zhou Yue asked softly, he felt that his ears might be popping Question, why can't you hear what Brother Yan Hui is saying?

Li Yanhui repeated again, "Feng Jinchen already has a fiancée, she is the daughter of Shi Shangshu's family. I heard that she is still stunning, and she will get married on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

Zhou Yue's face turned pale.

Li Yanhui really couldn't bear to see him like this, but she was afraid that it would be even more uncomfortable when he found out, so she patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll send you back after the New Year."

Zhou Yue didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, so he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll be back tomorrow..."

Minghui on the side didn't know what they were talking about, and suddenly heard that Zhou Yue was going back, so he said, "Let's go when the snow melts and the weather is warmer. It's too dangerous to go on the road now."

"Okay, I'm going to pack my things now." After finishing speaking, he turned and went out the door, so fast that people couldn't stop him.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyue?" Ming Hui asked without knowing why.

Li Yan replied, "Let him stay by himself for a while."

Not long after, a eunuch came to convey the Queen's order, and announced that Shen Minghui would enter the palace to meet the Queen!

Minghui was a little at a loss, looked at Li Yanhui, "Why did the empress announce me into the palace?"

Li Yan stuffed some money back with the eunuch, and asked with a smile, "This father-in-law, I don't know what the empress is doing?"

The eunuch took the money and said with a smile, "Lord Li, today is the first day of the first lunar month, and most of the officials and family members will enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the empress."

It turned out that this is the case, Li Yan looked back at Ming Hui, "Then Ma'am is hard work."

Ming Hui smiled and pushed him, then said to the eunuch, "Eunuch Lao informs me that I will enter the palace right away."

When the eunuch got the answer, he turned and left.

After Minghui tidied up a bit, he asked Tang Juli to drive him to the palace.

Even in the first lunar month, the streets in the capital are still extremely lively.

Li Yanhui was afraid that Zhou Yue would be bored in the house, so he asked Xiaoqiu and A Xu to call Zhou Yue with him when they went out.He came to the capital for a while, and he hasn't walked around yet, so let him have a good look at the capital during this last time.

When Li Yan returned home, he stayed at home in case Ming Hui didn't see him when he came back.

It's just that Minghui entered the palace, and when he followed the leading eunuch to Yongfu Palace, he was left hanging outside the palace.It was the season when dripping water turned into ice, and after a while, Minghui couldn't bear the cold in the cold wind, and stood precariously at the vent under the corridor.There was only laughter in the hall, and the people coming and going saw him, and they all showed expressions of pity, contempt, or gloating.

Such eyes pierced Minghui's heart deeply, he had no choice but to hang his head, struggling to hold on in the cold wind and snow, even though the numbness in his feet spread all the way to his knees, he didn't make a sound, stubbornly unwilling to show weakness .

Until Feng Jinchen saw him passing by here, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Minghui, why are you standing here and not going in?" Minghui looked up slowly, and smiled, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness, I'm waiting for the empress to call me."

Feng Jinchen glanced at Yongfu Palace, sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll go in and say something for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Minghui endured the numbness and moved his feet a little.

After a while, Yu Jing came out and said with a smile, "Shen Minghui, the empress is going to announce you to enter the palace."

"Oh, thank you, father-in-law." Minghui thanked, and slowly moved his unconscious feet.After entering the hall, a gust of heat hit him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

All the people in the room looked over in unison, only to see Minghui in a state of embarrassment.There are still a few snowflakes on the hair, and the clothes, shoes and socks below the knees are soaked, leaving footprints on the clean carpet.Because the scar on his face had long since disappeared without a trace, even though it was bruised and purple from the cold now, it still couldn't cover up his beautiful face.

Some girls in the boudoir couldn't help but blush when they saw him.

Minghui breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed his trembling body, knelt down slowly, and said in a trembling voice, "Shen Ming Japanese army, goodbye, empress empress!"

When the queen saw him, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "I didn't realize that, you still have the ability to make the Fifth Highness come down and speak for you."

Ming Hui lowered his head and said, "Your Highness the Fifth Highness just happened to pass by, and seeing how cold it is, he kindly helped."

"Oh!" The Queen sneered, "What do you mean by this, I am abusing you?!" "Don't dare!" Ming Hui hurriedly touched his head to the ground. Because he is a man?But even if he is Li Yanhui's husband and wife, what does he have to do with the queen?

"Speaking so disrespectfully! Yu Jing, get him out for me, and kneel outside for an hour, otherwise you won't be allowed to get up!" the queen said angrily.

Seeing that the queen was angry, all the ladies in the room dared not say a word.

Ming Hui was so frightened that before he could react, he was dragged out by two eunuchs, threw them heavily into the snow, forced him to kneel down, and left a eunuch beside him to count the time.

The already numb legs were excruciatingly painful at this time, Minghui couldn't hold back, tears slipped out, rolling into the snow, turning into small holes one by one.

It wasn't until night fell that the bustling Yongfu Palace gradually calmed down, and the little eunuch who was guarding the side shouted, "Tomorrow is here, get up."

Minghui tried, but his legs couldn't stand up no matter what.

At this time, the queen came out, stood at the entrance of the main hall, looked at him from a distance, and said coldly, "If you are smart and sensible, you can persuade Li Yan to go back and let him divorce you. It refers to a happy marriage. It is a great marriage that can make him rise to the top! If you don't know the truth, then today is just the beginning!"

Minghui couldn't help widening his eyes, looking at the Queen in puzzlement, and it took him a long time to understand what was the reason for the crime he suffered today. He raised his head and looked at the Queen without fear, and said word by word, "No! ! He will not abandon me!"
