Hearing what Zhao Jia said, Dong E was terrified, but at this time, another woman spoke.
"Fujin, I didn't have a dream, but I felt so painful when I thought about my poor child who was brutally murdered when he was less than a month old. You see, it was this thing that killed my child."
As she spoke, the woman took out an exquisite purse and placed it in front of Dong E. When Dong E saw the purse, her pupils contracted sharply. The purse was made by her order.
On this side, Dong E was surrounded by many women in the mansion, and on the other side, Jiang Ranli stopped after walking for a while.
"What's wrong?" Yinzhen asked.
Looking at Yin'er with worry in his eyes, Jiang Ranli felt a warm sunshine rising in his heart. He smiled sweetly and stretched out his hands and said, "I'm tired and don't want to walk."
Yin'er was worried that Jiang Ranli was in a bad mood, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't help but laugh. His evil and handsome face showed a deep doting, "Then your husband will carry you on his back."
Until New Year's Eve, Yinzhen stayed with Jiang Ranli as usual. The Tenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and Jiang Fan came to the mansion to find them almost every day. They chatted, joked, and teased each other, and there was laughter every day.
Compared with their ease and happiness, Dong E was suffering. Many women in the backyard would come to her from time to time and tell her about the tragic death of her children and sisters. She wanted to go to the palace to find Concubine Yi several times, but was detained by Yin'er every time.
"Fujin, don't worry. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. According to etiquette, you have to go to the palace with Jiu Ye. Then you won't have no shortage of opportunities to deal with Concubine Jin and meet Concubine Yi," Qingmei comforted Dong E, who had a ferocious expression on her face.
Hearing Qingmei's words, Dong E clenched her fingers on the armrest into a fist, and a deep and fierce look flashed in her eyes.
Lunar New Year's eve.
After Jiang Ranli had packed up, she went to the palace with Yinzhen to attend the banquet. Accompanying them were Xiao Rouqiu, Minyan, Hongzheng, and of course Dong E.
In any case, Dong E is still Yin'er's legitimate wife on the surface, so she cannot miss this palace banquet.
The Qianqing Palace is where almost all banquets, big and small, are held in the palace, and this time is no exception.
Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon throne. Perhaps because it was New Year's Eve, his face was full of smiles, and he looked even more amiable.
Jiang Ranli sat on the left side of Yin'er, next to her were the Tenth Prince and his Tenth Concubine Abahai. The Fourteenth Prince was arranged to sit opposite them this time, so he could only watch the Tenth Prince and Jiang Ranli chatting from time to time.
"Li'er, the Emperor asked you to host today's banquet, why did you refuse? Otherwise, I wouldn't have to watch these dull performances today." The Tenth Prince looked at the listless performances of the palace maids and musicians.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli said, "Be careful with your words. If others hear you talking so carelessly, you will definitely be scolded."
There are many taboos in the palace, and today is New Year's Eve, the most important festival of the year. If Emperor Kangxi knew that the Tenth Prince had said the word "lifeless", he would definitely be scolded.
"I know, I know. I was just careless. By the way, why did you reject the Emperor some time ago? Otherwise, today's show would definitely be more interesting." The Tenth Prince nodded repeatedly. He also knew that his words were a bit inappropriate, but this did not prevent him from continuing to ask Jiang Ranli.
