"It's so cold." Chang'an glanced out the window. "Although auspicious snow means a good harvest, it's a good sign, but the snow outside is too heavy. It's so cold, I don't even want to move."
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, which is a good omen. Today is New Year's Eve, and also the day of the Crown Prince's wedding." Bei Mingxuan said, "I have to enter the palace no matter what."
Bei Mingxuan had already walked to Chang'an's side as he spoke, "Leng, you can bring the Fire Spirit Fox with you."
Changan smiled sweetly, "Aren't you worried about being exposed?"
"You're the naughty one." Bei Mingxuan smiled. "Father knew it was you who released the prey a long time ago, and he even asked me personally."
Changan suddenly perked up and sat up, "So what did you say?"
"My princess is kindhearted and couldn't bear to kill them, so she secretly released them."
"I know, the emperor will definitely know." Chang'an smiled, "That night, as soon as I left the city, I was targeted by the secret guards around the emperor."
Chang An glanced at Bei Mingxuan as he spoke, "I also know that your people are secretly watching those two secret guards who followed me, so I am very relieved."
Instantly, a hint of pride appeared on Bei Mingxuan's face. "My Chang'an is really amazing," he said. "I have another good news to tell you. Bei Mingye is going to take action."
"Is today New Year's Eve or the Crown Prince's wedding day? He must be extremely wicked to have chosen today."
It was not difficult to hear that there was a strong sense of disgust in Chang'an's tone.
"Alright." Bei Mingxuan patted Chang'an's head, his eyes full of doting. "Today you have the chance to watch the fun. Let's go to the palace first, and then go to attend the prince's wedding."
Chang An nodded. She knew that she couldn't avoid going to the palace. "I believe we won't be in the palace for too long today. After all, the Crown Prince's wedding is a very important event for the Emperor."
"Of course." Bei Mingxuan said with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Chang'an saw it clearly, "Could it be that you have prepared a big gift for the prince?"
"There won't be any big gifts, but there will be small gifts all the time." Bei Mingxuan said, "But the gifts have to be delivered through Bei Mingye's hand."
"I'm looking forward to it." Chang'an raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking about the wedding gift he prepared for Gu Shijia.
As expected, the emperor's mind was on the prince, and the queen, in order to please the emperor, was also trying her best to show her concern for the prince.
After leaving the Emperor's residence, Chang'an and Bei Mingxuan went to the Empress Dowager's palace. "Grandma, Chang'an is here to wish you a happy new year."
"Haha." The Queen Mother came to Chang'an and Bei Mingxuan, her face full of joy, "You two are the only ones who are late, you deserve to be punished."
At this time, in the Empress Dowager's palace, except for the Crown Prince and the eldest prince, all other princes and grandchildren were present. It was so lively that it was... dazzling.
"The Empress Dowager is willing to punish you, Chang'an?" Chang'an smiled brightly, walked to the Empress Dowager and took her arm, "Chang'an brought a lot of things for the Empress Dowager to see."
"Oh?" As expected, the Queen Mother's eyes were full of anticipation. "What kind of good stuff is it?"
"Since the Queen Mother is so looking forward to it, why doesn't Princess Hyun give the gift directly to the Queen Mother? Just to take a look...it seems..."
Chang'an looked at the woman who was speaking. She had never seen this person before, but she recognized her. She was the sixth prince's concubine.
To be precise, the woman in the Empress Dowager's palace at this time.
Chang'an had never seen anyone except Beiming Yulan and the Crown Prince's wife, but she knew these people.
The Sixth Prince's wife is a distant relative of Concubine Qi and a member of a large family in Ciyu Town.
Although the Tong family was not a powerful family, decades of accumulation allowed them to join the ranks of wealthy families. However, their descendants were not promising and their family became increasingly desolate.
Chang'an didn't say anything, but just blinked and looked at the woman who was speaking politely.
"Sixth Emperor's sister-in-law." Bei Mingxuan couldn't bear to see Chang'an suffer any injustice.
It was obvious that Tong Zi'e was deliberately trying to make trouble for Chang'an. "My Chang'an is straightforward and doesn't know how to play tricks. He just wants to use the best things in the mansion to make the Empress Dowager happy."
"..." Tong Zi'ai listened to Bei Mingxuan's words, but she couldn't say anything.
It seems that Gu Changan didn't know whether giving a New Year's gift to the Queen Mother was because she was straightforward and didn't want to beat around the bush. Does that mean that people who give gifts to the Queen Mother are always roundabout?
When Chang'an listened to Bei Mingxuan's words, his heart felt warm and soft, just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, making people feel comfortable and warm.
"Grandmother." Chang'an spoke cautiously. Although his face was filled with smiles, tears were in his eyes. "It's Chang'an's fault. Chang'an didn't prepare a New Year's gift for the Grandmother. It's not that Chang'an didn't prepare one, but..."
Chang'an suddenly stopped talking here and shook his sleeves.
In an instant, a little fox head appeared from inside, bright red.
When people see it, their hearts instantly become soft.
"This is the Fire Fox," Chang'an said. "Grandma, the Fire Fox not only understands human speech, but most importantly, it can resist the cold. If someone with a cold body holds it, they won't feel cold. So... this Fire Fox cannot be given to you, Grandma. Please don't blame Chang'an."
"If you can't give it to me, why bring it here?" Tong Zi'e said indifferently, "It's just to let the Empress Dowager see how much you care about Prince Xuan."
The Eighth Prince's Consort continued with Tong Zi'e's words, "That's right, Princess Xuan, why don't you be more generous and directly give this little fox spirit to the Empress Dowager, especially since the Empress Dowager loves Princess Xuan the most."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Bei Ming Yulan was furious. "Aunt Jiuhuang said this little fox spirit is for my uncle, Jiuhuang. He can't stand the cold."
"Lan'er." The eldest prince glanced at his daughter with a hint of anger on his face. "How can you be so presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother?"
Bei Ming Yulan pouted unhappily and glanced at the Queen Mother, only to see that the Queen Mother was still smiling, looking at the little fox lying in her arms, and seemed not to hear what everyone was saying.
So she said even more recklessly, "Mother, what Lan'er said is wrong. Some people just want the world to be in chaos. We have all kinds of good things here, as if no one cares about those broken things. They are like offering treasures and are not ashamed of it.
In Lan'er's opinion, my Ninth Uncle and Auntie are the most generous. "It's already great that we can bring the little fox spirit to make the old ancestor happy."
"Hehehe." Bei Ming Ye smiled and looked at Bei Ming Yulan, "Lan'er, don't be angry. Your royal aunts are just joking with you. Everyone knows that you and your ninth brother grew up together. You can be considered childhood sweethearts."
"Fourth brother." Tong Zi'e spoke softly, a hint of honor in her smile. "You are wrong. What do you mean by childhood sweethearts? If you say that, aren't you worried that Princess Xuan will get upset and upset Ninth Brother? It's been rumored that Prince Xuan is henpecked."
