"Mr. Nangong, I wonder what happened to Master. Nangong entered the palace this time?"

Feeling Nangong Jinhong stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, the father-in-law said with a smile: "Oh, I am confused. I just came out of the palace and heard the banquet from the concubine Jie. I heard that the emperor had also passed by. I guess today the emperor specially summoned Lord Nangong to the palace and set up a family banquet?"

Nangong Jinhong snorted with his nose.

The father-in-law smiled again and said, "The emperor has been going to Concubine Jie for the past few days. I'm afraid that Concubine Jie is about to have a good thing."

“…”

When I heard this, I immediately came to my senses - Nangong Lizhu is about to be restored, so Pei Yuanhao naturally wants to accompany him more in the past few days. The family dinner in which Nangong Jinhong was summoned to the palace today was also her last preparation before the restoration.

Since that's the case-

The father-in-law smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Lord Nangong should go quickly. You can't let the emperor wait for him."

Nangong Jinhong was silent for a moment.

Although he didn't speak, I could clearly feel that the atmosphere outside eased a lot, and he didn't have to come and see a clear move.

After a while, Nangong Jinhong smiled: "You made sense. You shouldn't let the emperor wait for me."

"Master Nangong is wise."

"Then, you should also send this distinguished guest of His Royal Highness out of the palace, but remember to be careful all the way."

"Mr. Thank you for your advice."

I saw the father-in-law leaning over and bowing, and then the carriage slowly drove forward.

It was not until this time that I slowly turned around and lifted a corner of the curtain. I saw the father-in-law standing in the snow holding a whisk, looking at the carriage slowly driving away, and I said softly: "Father-in-law..."

He came to his senses and looked at me, and immediately smiled and said, "Madam has been waiting for a long time."

After saying that, he took the token from the guard and turned around.

The carriage left the palace gate.

The wind and snow were getting heavier. By the time the Liu Mansion gate was at the gate, a layer of snow had already accumulated on both sides of the road. I jumped out of the carriage and was blew by the cold wind. The father-in-law hurriedly saluted me and said, "It's cold outside, the wind is cold, madam, go back quickly. Don't catch a cold, the little master must feel distressed."

"Thank you, my father-in-law, for your concern," I smiled, and Caiwei helped her up the steps. After walking two steps, I stopped again and looked back at him: "Father-in-law."

"What else does Madam need to give?"

"My father-in-law just said that Nangong Jieyu's good things are coming soon. At about when did it happen?"

The father-in-law was not surprised at all. I asked this question, just smiled and took a step forward, lowered his voice, "The emperor has not issued an order yet, but it has spread all over the palace and outside the palace. Today, I have invited Lord Nangong to the palace for a banquet. I am afraid that it will be the first time for the Chinese New Year in these days."

"oh……"

I remember that it was at the New Year banquet that I revealed that Nangong Lizhu abused the second prince Nian Yun and led to her demotion. Now several years have passed, and the incident that year has gradually disappeared, and it is time for her to reappear.

I just don’t know what impact her comeback will have on the harem.

So, I nodded, just turned around and was about to leave, suddenly I remembered something again, and turned back and said, "Father-in-law."

"What else do you have to give?"

"My father-in-law is so clear about the matter in the palace. If he doesn't know Princess Miaoyan's condition, can he be just one or two?"

The father-in-law did not change his expression and said with a smile: "Madam, if Madam wants to ask the little master, I can answer one or two questions in every matter. Only His Highness, but the emperor personally takes him by his side, I don't have much time to see His Highness, let alone knowing His Highness's condition."

"Oh, that's it, then I know."

The father-in-law bowed to me again and turned around and left.

I stood at the door and watched the carriage drive back into the wind and snow. Slowly, the snow became heavier and heavier, filling my sight and gathering the entire capital into a white mist.

Since that day, the snow has not stopped.

The heavy snowstorm turned the entire capital into a world of pink and jade. Every day, I sat in the room, and opened a little window while Caiwei and the others hadn't seen it. I saw the white snow fluttering outside the window, and gradually became fascinated.

In such falling snow, time passes day by day.

Soon, it was the 29th day of the New Year.

My mood has been a little depressed these days. First, Yang Jinyao has never been to me again. Second, I don’t know if it was because of Nangong Jinhong that day, and the prince Nianshen did not send anyone to pick me up into the palace. I didn’t know what the changes in the palace were, but no matter what, the Chinese New Year was coming soon. Soon I heard the streets and alleys outside became more and more lively. Children rushed to set off fireworks on the corners of the streets, and every household killed chickens and sheep. Even the cold wind and heavy snow could not cover up the smiles on the faces of the common people.

In our mansion, there was a lot of people. Caiwei came to ask me how I spent this New Year. I just waved my hand and asked her to do it myself. I gave her some money and the house became lively.

There were window flowers on the window and red lanterns hung under the eaves. Lao Xia drove a carriage to take Shui Xiu, Xiao Ni and others to the street every day. He bought a lot of live chickens and ducks and piled them in the kitchen. Often at night, he could hear the chickens and ducks clattering in the yard.

That morning, I got up. When Caiwei and the others came to serve, they saw that my eyes were slightly swollen, so they asked, "What's wrong with my madam? Haven't you been sleeping well?"

I didn't tell them that they were so noisy that they couldn't sleep, so I just waved my hands.

Caiwei served me to wash up, and then said, "Old Zhu didn't sleep last night."

I casually said, "Oh? Why?"

"He said, I heard ghosts cry again."

"What?"

I was about to bend down to wash my face, but when I heard her say this, I was stunned and turned to look at her: "Is it haunted again?"

"I don't know if it's a haunted person," Caiwei said, "Anyway, I asked Sister Shui Xiu, Brother Du and others, and they all said they didn't hear it. I don't know where Lao Zhu heard the ghost cry."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I frowned slightly.

Speaking of which, I have been moving into this mansion for a long time, and I almost forgot about this. After all, everyone lives in peace and stability, and there is nothing haunted. Even Lao Zhu himself forgot about this matter, why did he mention it again suddenly today?

I said, "You ask him, what did he say?"

"He said he heard it, I guess, I'm going to be windy at night, he's old and has a bad ear, so he's heard it wrong."

“…”

I frowned and didn't say anything.

Caiwei's words are not unreasonable. After all, Lao Zhu is old and has a bad spirit. In fact, it is really difficult for him to keep the gate like this. I also have to consider finding a young and strong person to come back to do this. As for Lao Zhu, give him more money and let him return to his hometown to enjoy the peace and happiness.

Just thinking about this, I didn't say anything anymore. After finishing the washing, breakfast was delivered to the kitchen. I ate and asked Caiwei if she was ready for the New Year. She was well organized and explained it one by one. I heard it was okay, so I prepared to pack a few red envelopes later. Although I had just arrived, I still took good care of these people serving me. During this New Year, it was time to give them a good reward.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Du Yan hurriedly coming from outside, and stopped at the door, and a cold air came.

He clasped his fists and said, "Madam."

As soon as I looked up, I saw him and asked, "Du Yan? What's the matter?"

He then walked in, approached me, leaned over and whispered, "Madam, the road in the western suburbs is open."

“…”

I couldn't react for a moment: "Ah?"

“The road to the western suburbs is open.”

"What?!"

I looked at him in surprise and joy: "You said, the road in the western suburbs--"

"Well," he nodded: "I have been sending people to stare. Early this morning, the guards came back from the West City Gate. I sent someone to take a look, and said that the road was already open.

"real?!"

"yes."

I was very happy and immediately got up and walked out. Caiwei was anxious and hurriedly pulled me: "Madam, what are you doing?"

"Hurry, call Lao Xia to prepare, let's--"

"Madam," Du Yan was the calmest one compared to my ecstasy. He stood quietly beside me and said, "Madam, think twice."

"Um?"

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at his faint, cold eyes.

Perhaps because he had been standing outside for a long time, he still had a cold air on his body. When he came over at this time, it made me feel like I was blown by the cold wind, and I felt a little cold.

I immediately calmed down.

Yes, why did you suddenly withdraw everyone there today?

Before this, I already understood very well that Pei Yuanhao did not want anyone to investigate the matter about the wizard of the Guarding Kingdom, so it was a curfew and another checkpoint that blocked my way to Chongyun Pavilion in the western suburbs. It was not strange that he blocked me, but once he let go of the road, I had to be careful.

After all, although he and I are not hostile, we are not able to stand on the same line.

I must be wary of him at any time.

Thinking of this, I slowly sat down.

Seeing that I calmed down, Du Yan stopped talking, but slowly stepped aside.

At this time, someone came again, but Xiao Ni hurriedly ran over. When she saw me sitting at the table, she hurriedly came forward to pay her respects, and then said, "Madam, there is a carriage outside the door."

When I heard this, I felt a little surprised.

"I came from the palace, saying that I was taking my wife into the palace."

“…”

really.

Unexpectedly, it was about to be held New Year, so Nianshen sent someone to pick me up again.

Just so happened that today I knew that the people in the western suburbs had withdrawn. If I went to Jixian Palace, I might have a chance to find out what was going on.

Thinking of this, I put down the bowls and chopsticks in my hand and walked out happily.

When I walked to the gate, it was still the same as before. A carriage was parked at the door. Lao Zhu stood by the gate and still came up to salute me.

As Caiwei said, he probably didn't sleep well last night and was a little depressed.

I comforted him a few words, and without saying much, I walked out.

But as soon as I went out, I felt something was wrong.

This carriage is not the one I came to pick me up the previous two times. It is so simple and simple, but it is very luxurious. Such a car will often attract attention when walking on the road.

It was at this moment that the pedestrians on the road walked past our door and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

I subconsciously frowned.
