On the first day of the new year, before dawn, Shen Xingwan was forcibly pulled out of bed by Banxia.
The hangover made her head hurt.
Shen Xingwan took the tea handed over by Qing Hong and took a sip. He woke up and said, "Are you going to the palace?"
According to the rules of Daqi, officials must go to the palace to see the emperor on the first day of the Lunar New Year, while the married woman must go to the palace to see the queen and the queen mother.
Shen Xingwan didn't have to go, she didn't have any orders.
But the queen sent a message and asked her to enter the palace.
The Queen has always treated her well and is not a troublesome person. She must have something going on.
Shen Xingwan was wearing a pink rosy brocade dress, which made her whole person look much brighter.
As she dozed off, Qinghong put on makeup and combed her hair, and finally inserted the Lantian jade hairpin given by Fu Jingchao into her head.
Soon someone came from the old lady and said it was time to set off.
It was getting late in winter, and the maid held up a glass lantern to light the way. Shen Xingwan led a group of people towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Just as he reached the second door, Shen Ruoyan walked over in a hurry, "Wanwan, please wait."
Shen Xingwan turned around, "What's wrong?"
The jade hairpin on his head suddenly loosened and fell off, shattering with a loud sound.
On the first day of the new year, the omen is not good.
Qingyu knelt down with a bang, "You deserve to die, I didn't insert the jade hairpin properly."
The experienced old lady quickly put away the surprise on her face and said, "Shattering peace, broken peace."
Shen Xingwan's heart skipped a beat, but without saying anything, he stretched out his hand to help Qinghong up, "Be careful next time."
Qinghong has been with her for so long and has been doing her best and has never made any mistakes. She will not blame her for such an accident.
Shen Ruoyan approached her and whispered, "Eleventh Lang is here."
Shen Xingwan's secret power and intelligence network have always been managed by Jiang Shiyilang.
It's not good news that he rushed here on New Year's Day.
Shen Xingwan said softly, "Where are they?"
The nanny in charge urged anxiously, "Miss, it's time to leave, otherwise you will miss the time to enter the palace."
Shen Ruoyan grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Eleventh Lang wants you to see him as soon as possible."
When Jiang Shiyilang was in Jianghu, no one could match him in terms of political strategy. Shen Xingwan absolutely trusted his ability and immediately made a decision, "I will discuss it with the old lady and I will not enter the palace today."
If the Empress gives a good explanation, she won't be blamed.
As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest lady supported the old lady and walked in, followed by a father-in-law.
The old lady sensitively sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere and asked Shen Xingwan with her eyes.
The father-in-law smiled and saluted Shen Xingwan, "I've seen the girl before."
Shen Xingwan calmed down, "It's so cold, why did father-in-law come suddenly?"
The father-in-law said in a flattering tone, "Isn't it snowy and the road is slippery? The emperor specially sent a carriage to pick up the old lady and the girl by the way."
Shen Xingwan's eyebrows twitched, "It is my honor that the emperor still remembers me."
The father-in-law chuckled and said kindly, "The prince has been away from the capital for a long time, and he has not written a letter to the palace. The emperor is concerned about the health of the prince."
Sounds like an impeccable reason.
Shen Xingwan touched her hair and said to her father-in-law, "The jade hairpin on my head fell to the ground and my hairstyle was messed up. It is disrespectful to enter the palace like this. Please be accommodating to my father-in-law. I will go back and dress up again."
The father-in-law glanced at the jade hairpin that was broken on the ground, "Then please hurry up, girl. His Majesty said that he must see the girl today to ask about the prince's condition."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Shen Xingwan turned around and returned to the courtyard in a hurry.
The eldest lady quickly asked someone to stuff her father-in-law with a banknote.
As soon as Shen Xingwan returned to the room, he closed the door.
Shen Ruoyan said anxiously, "What should we do now?"
Shen Xingwan calmed down. Ever since she learned about Su Jingyi from Man Niang, people had been keeping an eye on her.
She also thought that Su Jingyi might have remembered the things in the book due to some chance, so she couldn't let go and asked Jiang Shiyilang to check on her.
Now that Jiang Shiyilang is here, is it related to Su Jingyi?
Shen Xingwan casually picked another hairpin and put it on his head, and told Shen Ruoyan, "If something happens to me, kill Su Jingyi at all costs!"
The emperor sent his father-in-law, and his attitude of insisting that she enter the palace made her smell dangerous.
But the emperor had spoken and if she didn't go, that would be disobeying the emperor's order.
Although she didn't know what was waiting for her, she could only take one step and see.
Shen Xingwan reached out and picked up the fat cat.
Huh, I have to hold on to him even if I die.
Regardless of whether he was in trouble or not, when it came to a critical moment of life and death, she didn't believe that Fat Cat had no means to save his life.
Fat Meow was woken up by her, "What are you doing?"
"Go and die!"
Shen Xingwan walked out holding it, and Shen Ruoyan replaced Banxia.
As the concubine of the Shen family, she has a special status. After entering Beijing, Shen Ruoyan rarely appeared in front of others, and few people knew her true identity.
A group of people walked to the second door. The father-in-law frowned at the cat in Shen Xingwan's hand, "It's not a good idea to bring a cat into the palace, isn't it?"
"Oh, I brought it to the Queen to relieve her boredom." Shen Xingwan said calmly.
The father-in-law didn't say much. Anyway, his mission today was to bring people into the palace.
The old lady saw that the person following Shen Xingwan next to her was Shen Ruoyan, and she looked like a maid.
You knew instantly that something was wrong!
At the side door of the car, a group of people walked out in a mighty manner.
"Crack!"
The old lady suddenly fell to the ground, and the maid beside her failed to hold her up.
The old lady said "Ouch" and was speechless in pain.
"Call the doctor quickly!"
"Old lady, what's wrong with you!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Shen Xingwan squatted next to the old lady with red eyes.
The eldest lady said in a panic, "Please, father-in-law, please apologize to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother on your behalf. If such an accident occurs, I will not be able to enter the palace today."
My father-in-law knelt down and took a look himself, and found that the old lady had indeed fallen quite hard.
In such a situation, it is impossible to force people to enter the palace.
"Old Madam, our family will explain it to Your Majesty. Please hurry up and get in the car, young lady."
Shen Xingwan was startled for a moment, then quickly shed tears and said, "The old lady is so injured, how can I leave the old lady in the palace? One day I will go to the palace in person to apologize to the empress."
The smile on the father-in-law's face disappeared instantly, and he looked at the girl gloomily, "His Majesty said that he must see the girl today. Is the girl disobeying the emperor's order?"
Shen Xingwan really couldn't handle such a hat.
At the same time, she was also convinced by her father-in-law's strong attitude that there was a tough battle waiting for her in the palace!
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "My daughter was too anxious when she saw the old lady was injured."
The father-in-law said with a sly smile, "My lady, please."
Shen Xingwan stood up, straightened his clothes, turned around and seemed to be wiping tears and arranging his hair.
In fact, he made a killing gesture to Dongqing who was standing a few steps away with an expressionless face.
He mouthed silently, "Eleventh Lang."
Holly quickly retreated quietly in the night, avoiding the crowd, and hurried out very quickly.
