Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 896 Please forgive me
In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.

It was a rare day when the wind and snow stopped, but the weather did not clear up. The heavy dark clouds still covered everyone's heart like a huge palm, pressing down on the top of Chang'an City. The biting north wind was as cold as a knife, always giving people a sense of crisis that a storm was about to come.

Yu Wenye got up early in the morning, dressed neatly and rushed to the court. He accompanied the emperor on the tower to receive congratulations from officials and people. Then he returned to the main hall and watched the lively performance of exorcising ghosts and epidemics, and offering sacrifices and blessings. After Nuo dance, they didn’t return to Qianqiu Hall until noon. At this time, Shang Ruyi was taking Xiao Yuanzi to fiddle with the pine and cypress branches in the corner of the courtyard. The snowflakes accumulated on them immediately fell down and rained on their faces. Xiao Yuanzi shivered from the cold, and then started to giggle. .

Shang Ruyi also laughed, bumped the swaddled baby, and teased him: "Isn't it cold? Xiao Yuanzi, aren't the snowflakes cold?"

"Giggle cluck."

Yu Wenye came over and said softly: "Be careful of the cold."

Shang Ruyi looked back and saw that he was back, his eyes widened with a smile, and he said: "It's not too cold today, and this kid isn't afraid of the cold either. Who does he look like?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her: "Who do you think it looks like!"

Shang Ruyi didn't say anything, but suddenly stretched out his hand to hit the branch hanging above Yu Wenye's head. He heard a "pop" sound, and immediately a burst of falling snow fell, also showering Yu Wenye's head, but Shang Ruyi was holding him in his arms. Xiao Yuanzi ran away from the tree in a swish, leaving Yu Wenye alone who was doused from beginning to end.

"you--"

Yuwen Ye was so angry that he gritted his teeth and turned around to catch Shang Ruyi. The two of them laughed and chased and played in the courtyard for a while.

It wasn't until he couldn't run anymore that Shang Ruyi stopped and gasped: "No more trouble, no more trouble."

Yu Wenye glared at her, but still stretched out his hand to support her, took the swaddling clothes and handed them to Tusheer who had been standing aside for a long time, and then took Shang Ruyi back to the main hall. There were several stoves here, and the heat was steaming. In addition, after running for a while, I was immediately sweating.

Shang Ruyi took off his coat, but Yu Wenye was worried and asked someone to bring a thinner dress to put on her.

Shang Ruyi smiled and asked, "You're back so soon?"

Yu Wenye went to wash his hands, and when he heard her ask, he said: "I have finished the business of the previous court, and will prepare dinner at Baifu Hall later."

"What is Father doing now?"

"I asked a few old ministers to chat at the Liangyi Palace, and asked us to come over and talk together."

"Oh? Who is there?"

"Several ministers, and Master Ji."

"Oh……"

Normally, Yu Wenyuan would have called Shen Shiyan and Pei Shi to laugh together. These two brothers had been together for many years, so they naturally had a lot to talk about. But after the incident in Tangquan Palace, the entire Pei family was placed under house arrest, and Shen Shiyan I haven’t shown up for a long time.

Shang Ruyi was not too surprised and asked again: "Where is Duke Wushan?"

Yu Wenye wiped his hands and walked back to sit next to her. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Father Huang originally called him, but he took half a day off today."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said, "It's rare that the Duke didn't come to join in the fun."

Just when the two of them had tidied up their clothes and were about to get up and go to the Liangyi Hall, Yu Wenyuan looked at a few officials sitting in front of him in the Liangyi Hall, standing tall and afraid of talking or breathing loudly. , and then looked at Ji Hong, who was the most daring to speak. At this time, he was just sitting there with his eyes half-closed. His thick gray eyebrows made it difficult to see whether he was listening or talking. Sleepy. Yu Wenyuan suddenly felt a sense of boredom.

This feeling of powerlessness has been lingering in his heart since the battle at Longmendu. After experiencing the incident at Tangquan Palace, it became even more intense.

He sighed and said: "That's all, you all should go home. Today is the New Year, and I'm afraid your wives and children are also waiting for your reunion at home."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of several veterans lit up. Even Ji Hong opened his eyes. Several people stood up one after another and bowed their hands to Yu Wenyuan: "Your Majesty, I'll tell you this..."

Before he finished saying the word "retreat", suddenly, Eunuch Yu walked in from outside the door.

He saluted the emperor and then said: "Your Majesty, Duke Wushan wishes to see you."

"Ok?"

As soon as he heard that Duke Wushan was coming, Yu Wenyuan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "He's here? Let him in quickly."

Several old ministers were about to leave, but suddenly they heard that Duke Wushan, who had been resting for several months, came into the palace at this time. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they all stopped and looked at the two. The gate of the Yi Palace.

After a while, I saw a familiar tall figure walking in from outside.

I saw Wushan County Duke Yu Dingxing striding into the Liangyi Hall, with a hint of ice and snow on his body, and the bandage on his face had not been removed. It was said that the injury should have been healed long ago, but he never removed the bandage. It was because the wound was too hideous, and secondly, because of the cold weather, I was worried about freezing the wound, but this made the face with only one eye look even more ferocious and mean.

Ji Hong only glanced at him and immediately lowered his head.

Several other ministers were very attentive and bowed their hands to Duke Wushan, but Yu Dingxing did not look at them. Instead, he directly came forward and kowtowed to Yu Wenyuan: "Wei ministers come to apologize!"

"Ok?"

Yu Wenyuan was originally smiling and was about to greet this relative, but when he saw him "asking for forgiveness" as soon as he came in, he was stunned: "What are you talking about? Have I ever punished you? Get up!"

I saw Yu Dingxing kneeling on the ground, leaning over, saying: "Wei Chen is guilty, Wei Chen deserves to die!"

Yu Wenyuan frowned: "What on earth is going on?"

Yu Dingxing slowly raised his head, looked at Yu Wenyuan with pity and pity in his only red eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, when I went out to the city to look for patients, I never thought about it. There are remnants of Wanggang Village hiding in it, and Wei Chen's old eyesight is dim, so he let this person slip away under his nose. Wei Chen knows his crime, and Wei Chen deserves to die!"

When Yu Wenyuan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled and said: "So this is what you are talking about."

"..."

"Yes, the remnants of Wanggang Village should not be let go, but at that time I asked you to find the patients, and I didn't ask you to capture the people of Wanggang Village. Even if you let him escape, it would be excusable. I I don’t blame you. Get up.”

However, Yu Dingxing still refused to get up and said: "Although the emperor does not blame me, I know that my sins are serious. These days, I don't think about my own mistakes and try to make up for my sins. That's why today -"

Yu Wenyuan heard the voice: "What did you do?"
