As the end of the year approaches, there are more and more banquets from various palaces in the capital. Not only that, there are also three days of big banquets and two days of small banquets in the palace. High-ranking people are too busy just to attend the banquets.
Compared with last year's depression, Wuchang Bofu is much more lively during this year's New Year.
People paying New Year's greetings and visiting friends, after entering the late twelfth lunar month, the gate of the uncle's house was full of people. Mrs. Shi was so busy that she didn't even touch the ground. Jin Yue'e, Mrs. Shi Wu, and Mrs. Shi Qi were also arrested. The young men, that is, the girls.
, but also to see and entertain guests every day.
After returning home for more than a year, Shi Fuxin's family finally saw the New Year festivities of the Lord's family.
"It is said that girls from wealthy families are considerate and generous. After years of training, as long as they are not stupid, their behavior with others will be the same."
After spending a whole day chatting with a group of little girls, Shi Fuxin felt that her cheeks were stiff.
Shi Fuyin said with a smile: "Everything in the world is something you can only do with your hands. Once you get used to it, you will naturally become a smart person in the eyes of others. This is the same as when we practice martial arts."
Shi Fuxin: "By the way, sister, why did the eldest aunt call you and the fourth sister to go to the side hall alone today?"
Hearing this, Shi Fuyin's face showed a trace of unnaturalness, but she did not hide it in front of her sister: "There are several families who are asking about the situation of the sisters at home."
Upon hearing this, Shi Fuxin immediately understood and said in surprise: "Sister, someone proposed marriage to you?"
Shi Fuyin glanced at Shi Fuxin: "It's nothing, just a few ladies casually mentioned a few things while chatting."
Shi Fuxin said with a smile: "My sister is so good, a lady must have asked my aunt about you. However, sister, we are studying in the National Women's Prison, and we can discuss marriage after we are eighteen years old. In the past few years, let's have a good time first
Look at each other, don’t be in a hurry to make a decision."
Seeing that her sister spoke so straightforwardly, Shi Fuyin lost some of her shyness: "I have already told my mother about this. My eldest aunt will tell her."
Shi Fuxin couldn't keep teasing her sister, so she changed the subject: "Tomorrow is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. After the emperor seals the letter, I can take a vacation. When he is free, let him take us to the countryside for hunting. Listen to Du
My girls talked about how they enjoyed the snow at home and ate roasted venison, and I got greedy."
Shi Fuyin smiled. Apart from morning exercises this year, she spent most of her time studying. She really didn't do much physical exercise. She also wanted to go out and have some fun.
Unfortunately, this wish of the two sisters was not realized in the end.
"Brother, how many days off do you have during the Chinese New Year?"
The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month was supposed to be Shi Dingxuan’s day off, but he didn’t return home until late at night. Shi Fuxin accompanied Shi Zhenghe at Yiguiyuan the next day, and Jin Yue’e didn’t see him until he had breakfast.
.
Shi Dingxuan shook his head: "The holiday is cancelled."
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhenghe and others all looked over.
"why?"
Shi Dingxuan glanced at Shi Fuxin: "Yesterday, just after the emperor announced the closure, the eldest prince vomited blood in front of all the ministers in Qianqing Palace."
"The Commander-in-Chief was worried that other emergencies would occur during the Chinese New Year, so he ordered that all the royal guards' holidays be postponed and that they all have to be on duty in the palace this year."
Shi Fuyin looked worried: "Okay, why are you vomiting blood?"
Shi Dinghao: "Yes, didn't you say that the eldest prince's health has improved greatly? He will get married in February next year."
When Fuxin was silent and didn't say anything, the cheap disciple suddenly vomited blood. It should have been caused by the poisoner activating the poisonous insects.
It seemed that she had to find time to quickly remove the poison from the cheap apprentice's body.
Shi Dingxuan: "The emperor immediately sent the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment. The imperial physician said... the eldest prince's health has not improved. The reason he often appears in front of others these days is because he has taken forbidden drugs that overdraft his body."
Upon hearing this, Shi Dinghao immediately glared and said, "That's nonsense. Does the imperial doctor know how to treat patients?"
The brothers and sisters of the Shi family all knew that the eldest prince was Shi Fuxin's apprentice, and they all knew that Shi Fuxin had been secretly recuperating the eldest prince's body, but Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e didn't know.
Shi Zhenghe glared at his younger son: "What you are doing in such excitement has nothing to do with you, just have a good meal."
Shi Dinghao choked and looked at Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin asked: "Isn't it more than one imperial doctor who said this?"
Shi Dingxuan nodded: "Yes, the emperor sent four imperial doctors to treat the eldest prince. All four doctors said that the eldest prince had taken forbidden drugs and his health was very bad now. He needed to stay in bed in the palace to rest. Otherwise.
.....Hinders lifespan.”
Shi Zhenghe frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. On the day of the winter hunting, when the honor guard came out of Zhengyang Gate, the patrol team and I saw the eldest prince from a distance. He was so energetic that it didn't look like he had any serious physical problems.
ah."
Shi Dingxuan: "Since the second half of this year, the eldest prince has appeared in front of people more and more often. He often goes to the palace to see the emperor. Every now and then, the emperor stays to have dinner with him. This favor... is
Not even the prince has."
"Furthermore, as the eldest prince's health improves, there have been voices in the court asking the eldest prince to join the court and participate in politics. The emperor seems to be very optimistic about the eldest prince. He once said in front of the prince and all the ministers that after the eldest prince gets married,
If you want him to help share government affairs."
Shi Zhenghe heard something wrong and looked at the eldest son: "You mean, someone is jealous of the eldest prince and is deliberately trying to trouble him?"
Shi Dingxuan looked at Shi Fuxin again: "The identity of the eldest prince is too special. The eldest son of the Empress Yuan, he is both the direct descendant and the eldest son..."
Shi Fuxin took over the words: "It is the easiest target for concentrated firepower." Among the princes headed by the prince, no one wanted to see the eldest prince enter the court and participate in politics.
Shi Dingxuan nodded and continued: "If you see blood during the Chinese New Year, officials will immediately make a fuss about it, saying it's not a good sign or something."
"When I came back, the eldest prince, who was vomiting blood and unconscious, had been sent back to the eldest prince's mansion by the emperor. Seeing the emperor's intention, he wanted the eldest prince to rest in the mansion."
Even Jin Yue'e, who didn't understand the court affairs, sensed something was wrong, and immediately sighed: "It's so boring to be the emperor's son."
He said, with a look of joy on his face, "Fortunately, these have nothing to do with our family. You are not allowed to talk about these things outside."
The four brothers and sisters looked at each other and said nothing.
...
The Grand Prince's Mansion.
Looking at the eldest prince lying on the bed with a pale face, Gao Changshou quickly took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and fed it to the eldest prince.
After taking the medicine, the eldest prince's frown slowly relaxed.
It wasn't until the sky got slightly brighter that the eldest prince faintly woke up.
The eldest prince thought about what happened in Qianqing Palace today, and raised his hand to cover his chest, which was still aching a little: "I thought that my body was almost healed, but I never thought... that there was still a hidden illness."
If it hadn't been for the sudden onset of chest pain today, he wouldn't have known there was something wrong with his heart.
The eldest prince smiled bitterly. How many people had killed him before?
After being tortured by the ice snake's poison for several years, he finally recovered, but now a new problem has arisen.
After being silent for a while, the eldest prince looked at Gao Changshou: "What did the father say?"
Gao Changshou: "Your Majesty has ordered you to rest well in your mansion."
The eldest prince sneered: "It seems that my father believed the words of the four imperial doctors. The four imperial doctors... made it difficult for my younger brothers to join forces in order to bring me down."
