After San Fujin left, Si Fujin felt a little embarrassed and found an excuse to leave after not long.
Seeing this, Qi Fujin glanced around worriedly. When she saw that Ba Fujin, Ninth Fujin and Ten Fujin had no reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to continue eating.
After Si Fujin returned to Prince Lian's Mansion, he went to Si Age's study.
"Fu Jin!" The fourth elder brother raised his head and glanced at Si Fujin who came in, then put down the book in his hand, "Didn't you go to the fifth brother's house? Why did you come back so soon?"
"The fifth brother's place is very lively. Don't think it's just Xi Fujin's birthday. Many ministers Fujin not only gave Xi Fujin gifts, but also gave gifts to his direct descendant Fujin." Si Fujin sat next to Si Elder Brother, and then said what he had just said.
Prince Heng briefly told what happened in Prince Heng's palace. After hearing this, Si Age just frowned and showed no other expression. Si Fujin suddenly felt a little disappointed. She thought Prince Lian might not believe her.
After a while, Brother Si nodded naturally, but didn't say anything.
Although Si Fujin was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After a while, Brother Si spoke, "I understand, you go down first."
"I take my leave." Si Fujin stood up and saluted, then turned and left.
Si Age looked at Si Fujin's leaving figure, thoughtfully. He thought for a long time, and finally decided to wait and see in the court tomorrow before making a decision.
After the banquet at Prince Heng's Mansion ended, several other Fujins left one after another. After a while, only the people from Prince Heng's Mansion were left in the entire palace.
Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Su Xin was going to the backyard, Wanyue quickly stopped her: "Sister, wait a minute."
Su Xin stopped with some doubts and turned to look at Wanyue, "What are your orders, sister?"
Wanyue walked up to her, thinking of San Fujin who was so upset tonight, and glanced at the plain expression on Su Xin's face, Wanyue said softly, "Don't let go of the gifts given to me by those officials Fujin today.
In my heart, I think the reason why they gave the gifts was because they hoped that the prince could help their respective adults in the court. I will go and tell the prince later that all the gifts they gave me will be refunded to them tomorrow morning.
go back."
"But." Su Xin hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. After all, those Fujins also gave her some gifts today, and she accepted them.
But before she could say her refusal, Wanyue interrupted her, "I guess you are worried about the gifts they gave you? Since they have given them to you, you should accept them well. Today is the day.
It makes sense that they would give it to you on your birthday."
"Okay. I'll listen to my sister." Su Xin looked at Wanyue blankly, and then responded obediently.
After the two left the main hall, Wanyue went to Yinqi's study, while Suxin returned to her yard.
In the study, Yinqi was writing a post. When he saw Wanyue coming in, he stopped writing and asked her to sit on the chair opposite the table.
"Hello, Your Majesty, you came back after staying for a while for Sister Suxin's birthday. Didn't you see that the gifts given by those officials Fujin today are very expensive!" Wanyue's gentle voice reached Yinqi's ears.
.
Yinqi put down the brush in his hand, looked at Wanyue, and smiled, "What did those people give you today?"
"They are all precious jewelry." Wanyue pursed her lips, thinking that although the things given by Fujin were very precious, she did not lack these things, and she did not want Yinqi to attract slander from those officials because of these things.
Yinqi glanced at Wanyue and asked tentatively: "Did you accept all those gifts?"
Wanyue shook her head, looked up at Yinqi, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I am not short of those things. I plan to send someone to return all those things to them tomorrow morning. Mainly because I am afraid of you, Your Majesty, because this will attract Yanguan."
Although you have no intention of impeaching the throne, it would be bad if others don't think so, and it would be a stumbling block for us."
Hearing his own Fujin's words, Yinqi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and his eyes when he looked at Wanyue were full of doting. This woman always considered herself so thoughtfully, which really touched him.
"With a wife like this! What more can a husband ask for!" Yinzhi reached out and took Wanyue's hand, and then held her in his arms, "Yue'er, thank you for considering these things for me. You are in charge of the house, and I am very happy.
rest assured!"
When Wanyue heard this, her cheeks turned slightly red, "My lord, please don't say that. We are husband and wife, and we should take care of each other!"
"Okay." Yinqi kissed Wanyue's forehead gently, his low and hoarse voice carrying a hint of charm.
That night, Yinqi rested in Xinuan Pavilion.
The next morning.
Yinqi got up early, changed into a set of court clothes after breakfast, and went straight to Qianqing Palace.
After Wanyue woke up early in the morning, she was also thinking about the gifts from last night. She hurriedly asked Ying'er and Yuewen to pack up the gifts from last night and sent people to send them back to their respective homes to prevent anyone from gossiping about Prince Heng's palace. Now the Fourth Brother
Prince Lian seemed to have been excluded from the line of legitimate heirs by the emperor, and the only one who could catch the emperor's eye was the eighth elder brother, Prince Yong. Wanyue did not want to cause Prince Yong to misunderstand because of these things.
As soon as the meeting ended in the morning, the fourth elder brother learned from the third elder brother the list of the adults who gave gifts to Wanyue yesterday. He was not in a hurry to go back, but looked around at the ministers who had dismissed the meeting, hoping to learn from the crowd.
I found three or five ministers who gave gifts and made some inquiries.
Brother Si searched for a long time before he found one person from the crowd. His name was Xu De, the Minister of Rites. He was about forty years old. He was tall and powerful, with a strong body and a face full of seriousness and determination.
Fortitude, after seeing the fourth elder brother, he immediately bowed respectfully and saluted, "The humble minister Xu De has met Prince Lian."
The fourth elder brother took a look at Xu Delin and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A minister of etiquette could learn how to flatter a prince.
"Master Xu, there's no need to be polite, please get up quickly." The fourth elder brother smiled and helped Xu De up.
After Xu De got up, he stood in front of the fourth elder brother and looked at the fourth elder brother respectfully, feeling very confused in his heart.
The fourth elder brother looked at Xu De and saw his serious and unsmiling look. He couldn't help but said, "I wonder if Mr. Xu can be honored to accompany me out of the palace today?"
When Xu De heard this, he was startled at first, and then he quickly bowed and replied: "Prince Lian invites me, so I would rather obey my order than to be respectful."
"Master Xu, you're welcome. Let's go out of the palace together. I happen to have something to ask Master Xu?" Fourth Brother said with a smile, but Master Xu was a little scared in his heart. He didn't know what kind of medicine Prince Lian was selling.
.
Xu De followed his fourth brother all the way out of the palace, enduring the uneasiness in his heart.
After arriving at the entrance of the palace, they were almost at the place where the sedan chair was parked. Only then did Si Age ask: "I heard that Mr. Xu's wife also went to Prince Heng's Mansion yesterday?"
Xu De was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand why Prince Lian actually asked about this matter. But since he asked, he had to report the truth: "Reporting to Prince Lian, Mrs. Weichen did go to Prince Heng's Mansion, but she just went to Prince Heng's Mansion."
Attend the birthday banquet of Prince Heng and Fujin."
After saying that, Mr. Xu muttered in his heart, wouldn’t Prince Lian not even know the birthday of Fujin, who lives next to Prince Heng’s house? Didn’t Prince Lian Fujin go to Prince Heng’s house?
However, before Mr. Xu had a chance to sort out his thoughts, he heard Prince Lian chuckle lightly, and then he saw Prince Lian raising his hand and patting Mr. Xu on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "I'm afraid your wife gave it to Prince Heng last night.
Fujin's gift has been returned to your home."
After Master Xu heard this, he was completely stunned. When he came to his senses, Prince Lian had already left the palace gate at some point.
