Chapter 465 Rich
Concubine Wen fell ill.
It was even more serious than witnessing the beheading of the entire Wen family.
But it's also normal. Her mother's family was sent to the guillotine by her own son. How could a mother bear such a blow? It's good enough that she didn't go crazy.
The prince issued a gag order on Xie Jing'an's collection of evidence to destroy the Wen family, but it was too late. Maids and servants were coming in and out of the family mansion during the New Year's Eve, and by the time the prince returned from the military camp, the news had already spread.
But no one blamed Xie Jing'an. He was the real victim, a six-year-old child who was tortured by the Wen family to the point that he had to crawl through a dog hole to escape. It can be seen how cruel the Wen family was to him. He took revenge on the Wen family, but that was what the Wen family asked for.
Besides, Xie Jing'an was just collecting evidence, and he didn't wrongly accuse the Wen family. He was killing his own relatives for the sake of justice and eliminating harm for the people.
Xie Jing'an's old injuries had not yet healed, and he had new injuries. Everyone in the Jingbei Palace sympathized with this second young master who had just returned to his ancestral home.
There was endless discussion inside and outside the mansion, but Zhao Lanxuan was immersed in the lively atmosphere of the New Year.
In the past two days, the emperor has given rewards one after another.
The most exaggerated thing is that after this wave of rewards was delivered, new ones were delivered before people even left.
What others have, Chen Wan has; what others don’t have, Chen Wan also has.
Moreover, the Jingbei Palace had two portions of these rewards, one for the prince and princess, and one for Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu.
Everyone in the Jingbei Palace knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were trusted and favored by the Emperor, but they didn't expect that the Crown Prince, who didn't hold an official position, received rewards no less than the Prince's, no, even more than the Prince's.
Well, no one thought that the emperor was rewarding Chen Wan, including Chen Wan himself.
A certain prince consort who hadn't dared to enter the palace these days, listening to all those discussions, God knows how exhausted he must have been.
Shen Wan was so ill that no one dared to let her into the palace, otherwise Xie Jingyu would definitely have brought Shen Wan into the palace to accompany the emperor to celebrate the New Year and stay up all night.
On New Year's Eve, the prince and princess went to the palace for a banquet, and Xie Jingyu stayed in the mansion to accompany Chen Wan.
Zhaolanxuan is decorated with lights and window decorations, giving it a strong festive atmosphere.
Knowing that Chen Wan liked to be lively, the maids and servants in the yard did not leave the house. The royal chef made more than a dozen exquisite cakes. There was a charcoal stove in the yard, and the maids were grilling meat, having a lot of fun.
Xie Jingyu asked Shanhu Yinchuan to arrange it. Chen Wan was pregnant and could neither enter the palace to accompany the emperor nor go out on the street, so he asked the maid to make arrangements according to Chen Wan's preferences, and kept it a secret from Chen Wan to give her a surprise.
Chen Wan didn't expect that Xie Jingyu would allow the maid to make trouble in Zhaolanxuan for her, and she was indescribably moved in her heart.
She was about to thank Xie Jingyu when a maid ran in and said, "The Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, the Prince of Yuzhang and others are here."
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "Did you invite him?"
Xie Jingyu shook his head, "I didn't invite them."
While they were talking, Prince Yuzhang entered the yard, along with not only him, but also Chu Yang, Zhao Ang and the Prince of Weiguo.
After they entered the yard, Shen Wan saw Wei Mingzhu, Shen Ling, Ling Xue and Qin Nian'er walking behind them.
Seeing them, Xie Jingyu asked, "Why didn't you go to the palace for the banquet?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "With my father and the others accompanying the emperor, it doesn't matter whether we are here or not."
The palace banquets are all similar, and it’s not as interesting as looking for a place to drink while visiting the lanterns.
Xie Jingyu helped him with advice and finally settled the marriage. He originally wanted to charter a boat and give Xie Jingyu a good banquet, but Xie Jingyu had to accompany Chen Wan, so it was obvious that he would not go.
Prince Yuzhang guessed that he and Shen Wan would not go to the palace for the banquet, so he suggested going to Prince Jingbei's Mansion, and Chu Yang and the others unanimously agreed.
Thinking this way, I did it.
Wei Mingzhu and the others chatted with Chen Wan, and they drank together, which was interesting to think about.
Shen Wan was so happy that Wei Mingzhu and the others could come that even the baby in her belly felt it and was excited.
The maids were playing and Chen Wan was watching. After Wei Mingzhu and the others arrived, Chen Wan grilled meat with her big belly and thoughtfully asked the maid to send it to Xie Jingyu and the others to taste.
Looking at the slightly burnt meat being served, the memory of Prince Yuzhang's death came back to him. He looked at Xie Jingyu and asked, "Can I eat it?"
They have not forgotten that a piece of exquisite-looking pastry made them run to the toilet seven or eight times.
The pastries were at least exquisite last time, but this time they were not good in appearance, aroma or taste. Prince Yuzhang was afraid that the damage would be even worse than before.
It’s okay to eat something on ordinary days, but they don’t want to spend the New Year’s Day in the toilet.
Not to mention the Prince of Yuzhang, even Xie Jingyu was afraid. His own father and father-in-law could not bear the physique of taking the enemy's head on the battlefield, so he did not dare to try it.
But my wife is pregnant and has worked hard to roast the meat, so I have to give her some face.
Xie Jingyu picked up a piece and took a bite.
Vomited silently.
Prince Yuzhang asked, "What does it smell like?"
"It's bland on one side, salty on the other, mixed with burnt flavor, and a bit bitter."
...The taste is really rich.
Prince Yuzhang said, "Since you describe it this way, I really want to try it..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a piece of it in his mouth.
Chu Yang quickly took a bunch and stuffed it into his mouth.
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Prince Yuzhang felt that his taste buds were under attack and wanted Chu Yang to have a taste as well. Chu Yang refused, and the two started fighting on the table. In the end, the meat flew into the mouth of the Prince of Weiguo.
The Prince of Weiguo suspected that the Prince of Yuzhang did it on purpose, and Chu Yang also suspected so.
Zhaolanxuan was more lively than ever before, and the palace over there was also bustling with activity.
The music of stringed instruments is pleasant, and the singing and dancing are endless.
Only Xiao Huaijin, Prince Yong and Young Master Ling kept looking towards the palace gate.
The palace banquet has already started, why haven’t Prince Yuzhang and others arrived yet?
If one of them didn't come, it could be because he was delayed by something, but Chu Yang and Zhao Ang didn't come, and his sister didn't come either.
Prince Yong was worried and sent someone to inquire. He then said, "This is too much. Prince Yuzhang and his men went to the Prince Jingbei's Palace without even telling us. Do they still treat us as brothers?!"
Young Master Ling also had a strong opinion. He had attended many palace banquets, but it was just like that. Besides, the palace banquet was halfway through. Prince Yong said, "How about we withdraw too?"
Young Master Ling said, "If we leave, what will happen to Prince Ling?"
They could still leave, but Prince Ling would definitely stay in the palace to keep watch with the emperor.
They couldn't bear to leave Prince Ling in the palace, so they decided to give up.
All the princes and princesses were at the palace banquet today. The emperor didn't pay much attention to the other princes and princesses, but he would glance at Xiao Huaijin from time to time, and saw them looking around several times.
Eunuch An whispered, "The Prince of Yuzhang and his men went to the Prince of Jingbei's mansion to celebrate the festival with the Prince of Jingbei and his wife."
A frown slid down the emperor's forehead, knowing that his son was absent-minded and had no interest in the palace banquet. The emperor said, "They have been with me for a long time, let them leave the palace."
Eunuch An sent someone to deliver the message.
They were not polite either. Before the young eunuch could finish his words, Prince Yong stood up and pulled Xiao Huaijin up.
Eunuch An, “…”
The emperor said that he didn’t need to accompany me anymore, so he really didn’t accompany me.
Then they went to the Jingbei Palace and climbed over the wall into Zhaolanxuan.
Upon seeing Prince Yuzhang and his companions, Prince Yong said, "How unkind of you to come to Prince Jingbei's Palace without even telling us."
Prince Yuzhang said, "It's not that I don't tell you, it's for your own good."
Young Master Ling asked, "For our own good?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "We all come in pairs. Isn't it awkward for you to come alone?"
Prince Yong, "..."
Young Master Ling, "..."
Xiao Huaijin, "..."
I felt the inhumane harm.
Prince Yong covered his heart and looked at Young Master Ling and Xiao Huaijin, "How about we go back to the palace?"
