I heard my brother is a tyrant

This year's New Year's Eve palace banquet was moved to noon by the emperor.Civil and military officials gave banquets in the Hanyuan Palace. There was no queen in the palace, and the women's family members and wives gave banquets in the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Palace.

Ye Yu didn't have any orders on him, so he was not qualified to attend the palace banquet. Mrs. Xuan Pinghou only had two younger concubines in front of her, so she brought Ye Yu to the banquet.Sure enough, I met Guo Zijin at the palace banquet. This was in the palace. Mrs. Xuan Pinghou first wished each other good luck with Guo Zijin. Mrs. Xuan Pinghou said with a smile: "The county lord came early."

"I've just arrived, and I'm waiting for my aunt." Guo Zijin walked behind Ye Yu with a smirk, slightly bent his knees to give Ye Yufu a blessing, and said with a smile, "Aunt Wan'an."

The last time they broke up unhappy, Ye Yu was obviously still uncomfortable in his heart, and now he could only deal with her with a smile and chatted a few things about the New Year's routine.

Guo Zijin behaved appropriately, just like ordinary juniors, following Ye Yu in a reserved and dignified manner, which made people who didn't understand the relationship between the two parties pay attention to Ye Yu.

When the palace banquet started, the eunuch invited everyone to sit down. Ye Yu sat next to Mrs. Xuanping Hou, while Guo Zijin sat in the front, so they were not together.

Ye Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.The Empress Dowager was helped out by Chu Congchan, and everyone saluted and worshiped, and the palace banquet officially began.

After a round of the palace banquet, Ye Yu couldn't bear to deal with it, so he excused his chest tightness, quietly exited through the side door, and stood on the steps of the side hall to relax.

Ye Yu stared at the high and low palace walls for a while, and couldn't help but shook his head with the maid beside him and sighed: "My niece, why is she like a little puppet, there is no fault in the etiquette and rules."

Even though she was angry that day, she couldn't hate her dead sister's only daughter, nor could she get close to her.It's not just because of what happened that day, I don't know why, but Ye Yu just can't get close to this niece.

The maid said: "The county lord is a noble daughter of the royal family. I heard that the loyal prince loves the county lord very much. He specially invited the mothers in the palace. Naturally, the manners are excellent."

Seeing someone coming this way, the maid whispered: "Madam, why don't we go in."

Ye Yu looked along the spacious palace road, and knew that it was the emperor's ceremonial guard coming, but she would be conspicuous if she retreated at this time, so she had to bow and stand aside, and waited until the ceremonial guard approached, straightened her dress and bowed down.

"Your Majesty, that should be the third young lady of the Marquis of Xuanping." Chen Lianjiang whispered next to Xie Dan.

Ye Yu bowed her head and knelt down, according to the rules, she just got up quietly when the emperor's guard of honor passed by.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's guard of honor gradually approached, but stopped in front of her, and the emperor said on his shoulders, "Madam flattened."

Ye Yu's heart trembled, he couldn't help being a little nervous, stood up respectfully, and heard the emperor ask again: "Madam is from Xuanpinghou's residence?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the woman is the wife of Han Ziyun from Xuanping Houfu."

Although she is the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, she has no rank in her body, so she cannot call herself a minister's wife, only a civilian's wife.Others even called her "Young Madam" because of the power of the Hou Mansion.

Xie Dan sized Ye Yu up, and said in a low voice, "I remember that the third young lady just came to Beijing a few days ago, did the trip go smoothly?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your inquiry, and the journey went well."

Ye Yu was full of fear and confusion at the moment, Xie Dan nodded slightly when he saw her stiff, and the guard of honor continued to walk past.

Only then did Ye Yu dare to raise his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the maid to sneak in through the side door of the main hall. As soon as he sat down, Sheng Jia came in.

"Your Majesty has arrived." The eunuchs in the hall sang loudly, and all the wives inside and outside the hall stood up to pay their respects.

It was customary for the emperor to come to the palace banquet to enjoy his face, sat down next to the empress dowager, said a few superficial words, sat for about a cup of tea, and then went back to Hanyuan hall.

After the palace banquet, Ye Yu returned to the Hou Mansion, and immediately told Han Ziyun about meeting Sheng Jia at the palace banquet. She was not the only one who knelt down on the palace road and in front of the palace, but the emperor stopped alone and spoke to her .

Han Ziyun's position was low and he had never attended a palace banquet, so he hesitated for a while and said, "Maybe it's because His Majesty is in a good mood during the New Year's Day, so I asked you a casual question."

Ye Yu can only think so now.

***

Ye Zhai, it was still dark when Xie Dan came back, Ye Chu was wearing a pink and green coat and stood under the corridor feeding the parrot, saw him coming and asked him: "Brother, didn't you say that you will be on duty for the palace banquet? I thought I'd have to wait until night to come back."

After all, he didn't come back until midnight last year.

Xie Dan said that the officials gave the banquet, and it was changed to noon.Ye Chu said with a smile: "This time the emperor finally understands a little bit of human feelings, who can't celebrate the New Year by himself."

The maids used to get nervous when they heard her "offend" the emperor so casually, but now they simply turned a deaf ear to it, since His Majesty is listening to him anyway.

The mansion is very busy during Chinese New Year. Now that Xie Dan is back, the maids replaced the small table in the house with a long table, put all kinds of fruit and snacks on it, and started preparing the reunion dinner.

It was cold, Xie Dan walked over and took the small box of bird food in Ye Chu's hand, and hugged her into the house.This period of Chinese New Year is always Ye Chu's favorite time. From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, my brother will take a rest and go to the palace occasionally, and there is almost nothing else. Until the end of the Lantern Festival, during this time, my brother will stay at home every day with her.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, they sat around the brazier to watch the New Year's Eve, and suddenly heard a loud noise outside, Ye Chu was startled, and ran out to have a look.

Xie Dan followed with a smile, and saw huge fireworks rising into the sky in the direction of Miyagi, dazzlingly gorgeous.

"It's so beautiful, brother, I have never seen such a big firework."

"Like it?"

"I like it, I like it so much."

When the little girl was happy, she put her arms around his neck and jumped up and down. Xie Dan smiled and helped her put together her outerwear. After watching the fireworks, she wrapped one arm casually. Ye Chu retracted her feet tacitly, Xie Dan pinched him He hugged her across the threshold with his waist down, and the two returned to the brazier to continue watching the year.

Xie Dan originally wanted to tell her about Ye Yu, but after thinking about it, he temporarily gave up.Xie Dan knew little about Mrs. Ye's younger sister, who knew what kind of person this aunt was, and she had a relationship with the fake county head of Zhongwang's mansion years ago, and she behaved intimately at the palace banquet.

An An's childish heart, if she is a follower, or if she doesn't really love An An, then she doesn't have to appear in front of An An.

Would rather not.

He called Han Ziyun and his wife back to Beijing only because An An still missed this aunt, but he didn't say that he would definitely let them recognize their relatives.

An An once said that her aunt is the only blood relative of her mother in the world. She may not know that Mrs. Ye actually has other blood relatives.Mrs. Ye's father and elder brother are still alive, and there are a bunch of concubine brothers and sisters.

After Emperor Yanshi ascended the throne, the Ye family fell to Emperor Yanshi early on. If there is milk, she is a mother. She flatters and invites pets to help the king. Xie Dan will naturally be liquidated one by one after ascending the throne. The Ye family has gained a lot from gaining power over the years The good news is that Father Ye's greed for ink has been found out, and he has long been exiled to the bitter cold place in the northeast by Xie Dan's imperial decree.

According to the law, the family members of corrupt officials in Mexico are generally demoted to slavery and served as the Jiaofang Secretary, but Xie Dan did not do this. The Ye family's women should be grateful that they still have a little relationship with Mrs. Ye, but Xie Dan will not be merciful , Sent to be exiled to the bitter cold place in the extreme north, life or death is everyone's fate.

Xie Dan asked someone to investigate the affairs of Ye's family. Ye's mother was weak, Ye's father, wife and concubines were in groups, and the back house was restless, but they actually raised a woman with a tough heart like Mrs. Ye.

As for Han Ziyun and his wife, Mrs. Ye had been thinking about this sister all the time, and even planned to hand over her daughter to her to be raised when she died. Xie Dan was willing to believe that she was a good person.

As for how, it depends on their own good fortune.

Ye Chu has long been clamoring to go to the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.It was cold, Xie Dan hardly let her go out before, not to mention going out of the mansion, she didn't go to the garden very much.

But the little girl has been arguing for a long time, and she is very skillful in coquettishly blackmailing people and playing petty temper. Xie Dan couldn't hold on, and seeing that her body was getting better now, he decided to satisfy her for a while.

So I asked the mansion to get ready early.The Lantern Festival in Beijing has always been very lively, not to mention carriages, the streets can't even be crowded with people.By the way, Chang pre-booked a restaurant facing the street overlooking the Lantern City.On the day of Lantern Festival, they drove out in the afternoon, first went to a restaurant to listen to a play for entertainment, and had dinner.

When it gets dark, the lanterns on the street are lit up one after another, and there are many tourists, and the lanterns in the market compete with each other, illuminating the whole street like daytime.Even the eaves and railings of the restaurant above are covered with hexagonal lanterns.

Ye Chu was wrapped in a big fur cloak, holding almond tea in his hand, lying on the railing of the balcony on the second floor, looking down with great interest.

Xie Dan originally planned that the little girl would run to the street to play, so he asked Wei Chen to arrange the whole street with guards in casual clothes and hidden guards in the dark. Almond tea and snacks, they didn't even intend to go downstairs, so they couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going down to play?"

"No." Ye Chu shook his head.

"Why don't you go down?" Xie Dan said in a coaxing tone, "There are many lantern sellers on the street, and there are also lantern riddle guessers. If you can guess correctly, you can take the lantern for free. I can only pay for it. I heard that the biggest treasure pavilion in the capital even offers a reward for guessing lantern riddles."

"No." Ye Chu shook his head resolutely, took a sip of almond tea, pointed his chin to the street downstairs and said, "There are too many people."

"It's just getting dark, adults and children are all on the street, and it's the time when there are the most people." Xie Dan smiled, thinking that he couldn't drive away all the people on the street.

It is not difficult to let the armored guards clear the road, but it seems that the big festival is not good, and besides, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is so lively without the tourists all over the street.

It was cold at night, and a breeze blew, Xie Dan put on the hood of the cloak for her casually, Ye Chu tightened the cloak and leaned against Xie Dan, pointing to the lamp in the hand of a young woman downstairs and asked: "Brother, I bought that little rabbit lamp there, I want it."

Without waiting for Xie Dan's order, Chang Shun had already sent someone to buy it. Ye Chu lay on the railing and watched, and saw the young man (insider) stopping the young couple, asked her a few words, thanked her, and hurried to the shop. The east end of the market ran away.

The young woman seemed to like the lamp in her hand very much. She raised her head and talked to the man. The man lowered his head and whispered to her. She didn't know what to say, and the woman stomped her feet coquettishly and shyly to hit the man. hand, the two walked away affectionately.

Ye Chu said: "Brother, look at their brother and sister's relationship is really good."

"They are not brother and sister. They should be husband and wife." Xie Dan said.

"How did you find out?" Ye Chu was amazed, she thought they were clearly brothers and sisters.She found that the people who came to watch the lanterns were either in groups of three or four, or young men and women in pairs like this.

Xie Dan wanted to say, because brother and sister would not be so affectionate.Even couples dare not be intimate in the street.

But... there is no way to tell her that.

Xie Dan said: "Didn't you see that woman still wears red velvet flowers in her bun? They should be a newly married couple."

"Oh, brother looked so carefully, I saw the lamp in her hand." Ye Chu smiled coquettishly.

The little waiter who bought the lamp not only bought the rabbit lamp, but also bought two more things, two sticks of candied haws.

The corners of Chang Shun's mouth couldn't help twitching when he took the candied haws, and he said in a low voice: "Your boy is also brave enough, give it back to..." Eyes motioned to Xie Dan, "Buy candied haws?"

Buy candied haws for the emperor?

The little waiter shrank his head and said with a laugh: "At first, I thought that the girl would like it, so I bought it, and then I thought it was not right to buy only one for the girl..."

Chang Shun clicked his tongue, took the lamp and the candied haws, first asked the waiter to check the candied haws, and after checking that there was no problem, he took the small plate and went up the stairs, bowed and smiled, "Girl, what do you want?" I bought the lamp, and I bought this for you, do you like it?"

Chun Jiang stepped forward to take it, Ye Chu took a look at the rabbit lamp, asked someone to hang it on the railing for her, took two candied haws, and handed one to Xie Dan as a matter of course.

"I don't like it, you can eat it." Xie Dan said, he is not used to sweet and sour food, besides he is a big man, eating this food in the street...

Ye Chu ignored him, put down one, took a bite of one, and narrowed his eyes.

After she finished eating one, she put the candied haws in her hand to Xie Dan's mouth, smiling coquettishly: "It's so sweet, brother, why don't you try one, just try one."

Xie Dan was helplessly entangled by her, he opened his mouth and bit one, and couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.No wonder she was so gracious and insisted on him eating, sour.

Sweet and sour.

The little girl cheated him once, and seeing him squinting his eyes and frowning his brows so sorely, she couldn't help giggling.Xie Dan curled up his fingers to flick her forehead, but the little girl hid in his arms while covering her head for mercy.

Xie Dan couldn't do anything about her, played with her for a while, and tasted the red bean Yuanxiao from this restaurant together, it is said to be Jiangnan flavor, Xie Dan was a little too sweet, but Ye Chu was okay .

"An'an, let's go back, it's a bit cold."

Xie Tan looked downstairs, and suddenly saw two familiar figures. Looking carefully, it was indeed Han Ziyun and Ye Yu. Han Ziyun was holding a three or four-year-old boy in his arms. little girl.

Xie Dan was silent, looked at Ye Chu who was beside him and pondered.Just as he was pondering, the girl ran away, and the husband and wife called their daughter to chase after her.

Forget it, it's gone.

Xie Dan doesn't really believe in the so-called fate, it seems quite normal to meet acquaintances at the Lantern Festival.

He led Ye Chu downstairs, the street was really crowded like what Ye Chu said, especially in the section of the Lantern Market, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a crowd of people, and there was no way for a carriage to enter.Xie Dan put the hood of the cloak low on Ye Chu's head, held her hand, and under the protection of dozens of guards, he walked towards the street side of the crowd.

Walking out of the section of the Lantern City, there were relatively fewer people, and they had already seen their carriage, fearing that someone would bump into the holy driver, the guards were faintly relieved.

Xie Dan glanced over, but suddenly saw the little girl led by Ye Yu just now, holding a lotus lantern in her hand, bouncing and playing by the side of the road, but Han Ziyun and his wife were not seen.

Xie Tan frowned slightly, wondering if the girl had separated from the couple.

He was planning to leave a guard here to guard in the dark, when the girl saw the rabbit lamp in Ye Chu's hand, her eyes lit up, she rushed over like a rabbit, and shouted to Ye Chu crisply: "Sister, your The lantern is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

The guards in casual clothes blocked the little girl, but the little girl couldn't rush to Ye Chu. Xie Dan's eyes flashed slightly, but Ye Chu stopped, looked at the little girl and smiled, "I don't know where I bought it. My brother bought it for me, it's far away, on the other side of the street."

"Then, then..." The little girl stared at Ye Chu's rabbit lamp, lifted the lotus lamp in her hand, and asked with her head tilted, "Then can I change it with you?"

Ye Chu actually tilted his head and thought about it, and walked up to her with a smile to tease her: "What if I don't want to change it?"

"If you don't want to change it, then...don't change it." The little girl was not annoyed, but reached out to touch Ye Chu's cloak and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful, your clothes are also beautiful, and your voice is also beautiful, like a fairy." .”

"What are you doing here alone?" Ye Chu asked.

"I'm waiting here for my parents and younger brother. I got lost with them. This is our family's carriage. I can't find them, so I'll wait for them here." The little girl pointed to a car with a green curtain beside the road. Two carriages.

Ye Chu nodded, and seeing that there was no driver in the car, he told him, "Then you stay here alone, there are many people on the street, and there will be kidnappers, who specialize in kidnapping pretty little girls."

Xie Dan couldn't help smiling, this seemed to be the tone he used to coax her when he was a child.

"I'm going home, don't run around by yourself." Ye Chu straightened up, handed her the rabbit lamp in his hand and said, "This is for you."

The little girl hesitated for a while and didn't answer, blinking her eyes wide and asked: "Then sister, what are you playing, can I give you the lotus lantern?"

"I have this lotus lantern at home, and we hung a lotus lantern in our yard today." Ye Chu explained to the little girl seriously, not because she didn't want to accept her gift, she handed the lamp to the girl, and added, "It's okay, I want a rabbit lamp, just ask my brother to buy me another one, my brother is fine, he will give me whatever I want."

"Thank you sister. My sister's brother is so nice. I don't have a brother. I only have a younger brother. He will be annoying all day long, and he is not obedient at all. He wants whatever I take. If I don't take him, I don't want it. I just like it." Grab what's in my hand..."

He's actually a little chatterbox.Listening to the little girl's chatter, Xie Dan suppressed a smile and said, "An'an, we have to go back."

"I'm leaving, so be good and don't run around." Ye Chu waved his hand and followed Xie Dan to leave.

Seeing Ye Chu bouncing around, Xie Dan seemed to be in a good mood.

"You are so willing to give the lamp to her? You don't know her." Xie Dan couldn't help teasing her.

"But she calls me sister." Ye Chu said, "I don't care, you can buy me another one."

Xie Dan signaled Chang Shun to keep someone here for a while, and while walking, asked someone to buy her another rabbit lamp.

The author says:

Guo Zijin was not Guo Yu's daughter, nor was she born to a concubine from a concubine. It was impossible for a concubine in the Hou's mansion to give birth to a child without anyone knowing.

How should I put it, the author did not intend to write Guo Zijin as that kind of negative and brainless cannon fodder, but she has very few roles.

A little bit of knowledge, a man can't do anything when he's so drunk, it's just... he can't fight. The so-called disorderly sex after drinking, at least it can be judged that he hasn't really drunk to the point of losing his mind, so the wine doesn't want to take the blame.If you don't believe me, you can ask Du Niang.

I found that everyone had a big reaction to the last chapter. How should I put it, the scumbag father should be slapped in the face and abused, but he was so drunk at that time! !You know.No whitewashing, but our An'an must not have a dirty biological father.
