The next day, officials from the six ministries entered the palace angrily. They only went home and changed into court clothes. They drank tea all night in Qinzhu Yayuan. Their stomachs were very full. They were thoughtful and had snacks on the way.
Didn't you say we were going to catch the culprit who started the rumors? Why is it that the first culprit has not been caught yet at almost dawn? Yuan Bao is rarely good-tempered, so he personally served a cup of ginger tea for all of you, and said with a smile: "I guess the first culprit has escaped, so it's hard for you to worry about my heir apparent."
They wanted to curse even more, especially Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites, who muttered angrily: "Don't put gold on your face, I don't have the time to worry about the crown prince." After speaking, Zhang Shilang sneezed heavily, which seemed to be a sign of success. The wind is chilly.
Yuan Bao didn't seem to hear, and said good-naturedly: "Master Zhang, drink an extra cup of ginger tea before leaving."
Yuan Bao was so shameless. They left him in the cold all night, and their words seemed to be sarcastic.
Nangong Hao glanced at the gray sky with panda eyes. The weather was getting colder and colder.
He rarely went to Qinzhu Yayuan. This place used to be the imperial grandfather's villa, and was later given to Uncle Yu Wang. For some reason, Uncle Yu Wang gave this place to Nangong Yuanyi. He heard that the emperor's grandfather also liked it here.
Nangong Hao clenched his fists tightly. Such a large villa was one that the princes all missed.
"Your eldest son didn't come last night." Nangong Hao said coldly.
"Reporting back to the fourth prince, perhaps because Lin Yi is the concubine of Commander Lin, the prince was hindered from taking people to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, the prince's reputation was only damaged. The Prime Minister has a high position and the prince's arrest was hindered and delayed. It’s not surprising that the time has passed.” Yuan Bao said respectfully.
Nangong Hao looked at Yuan Bao as disgustingly as he looked at Nangong Yuanyi. There really is a slave like a master.
…
Anfu, early morning.
An Xiyue is still as usual, insisting on getting up every morning to run and exercise her arm strength.
An Yuxiao stood in the distance and watched his eldest daughter getting better and better, and couldn't help but think of what the old lady said to him yesterday.
"Yue'er has met her father." An Xiyue saw An Yuxiao standing there looking at her in trance early in the morning.
"The weather is getting colder, so wear more clothes." An Yuxiao's eyes were slightly tired.
"Father came back home very late last night. Did something happen in the yamen?" An Xiyue just guessed that Nangong Yuanyi intended to promote her father. Such a big thing happened yesterday, but his father didn't ask her when he came home. She always felt that strange.
"When father comes back, Yue'er will prepare some meals for him to replenish his body. Father is not in good spirits."
An Yuxiao smiled happily and said, "Okay, when I get your mother back, you can make more good food to replenish your mother's health."
An Xiyue asked Changfeng to inquire and found out that her father had gone to the General's Mansion, but she was not even allowed to enter. Her aunt made a lot of sarcastic remarks, poking her father's heart in every sentence. She also heard that last night When my father came back from the General's Mansion, he was all wet.
"I want to go see my mother and my brother. Don't worry, father. Yue'er will definitely talk to her uncle and aunt to bring mother and Yun'er back." An Xiyue originally didn't want to say these words, but Changfeng came to her to complain about her father's behavior. situation at the time.
An Yuxiao said anxiously: "Whether your grandfather agrees or not, I will personally take her back. You don't have to worry about this matter."
An Xiyue was surprised. Not only did her father offend the Lin family, he was also ostracized and ridiculed in the yamen, but there were still many things going on.
Changfeng also said that he had been with the master for so many years, but he had never known that the master could put down his dignity and ask the eldest lady to come back. The eldest lady was stunned and didn't even meet him.
