Chapter 34
King Guangling took his concubine to the capital, the weather was cold and the sun was freezing, and the New Year's Eve was coming soon. After the New Year's Eve, he had to preside over Xiao Zheng's wedding.

Concubine Shen has the final say, before March of the next year, King Guangling and Princess Wang will not be able to come back.

This also means that in the past few months, she has the final say in the Wangfu. She can go back to her natal home if she wants to go back to her natal home, and go to the street if she wants to leave the mansion. She no longer has to ask the princess for instructions.

Of course, what made her happiest was that Xiao Mingyi's marriage fell into her hands.

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the governor of Youzhou gave our prince, so he insisted on marrying a daughter."

Concubine Shen frowns as she peels the citrus.

Although her Rui'er didn't need to marry to Youzhou, but marrying a young girl to a widower who is over forty years old is really not a good marriage.

Concubine Shen can only take care of her own daughter and other people's daughters.

Both Shen Qing and Wan Jinlan felt that this marriage was weird. King Guangling had already gone to the capital, and he did not forget to marry a daughter to Youzhou.

"The princess didn't make trouble?" Wan Jinlan didn't believe that she didn't make trouble, Xiao Mingyi's temperament was not easy to provoke.

"Why didn't you make a fuss, but the lord left someone to watch her. After a while, after all the etiquette is gone, I will send her away."

Concubine Shen couldn't figure out this marriage, and didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the topic to Uncle Yongchang's birthday.

After dinner at noon, Concubine Shen left, Wan Jinlan said to Shen Qing in private: "Mother, is this wrong?"

No matter how you look at it, King Guangling seems to have ulterior motives for marrying a cardamom-aged biological daughter to a man who is over forty years old and in charge of a state's military administration.

But the emperor summoned King Guangling to Beijing, and he had already gone.

Shen Qing said: "I will tell your father about this matter in a letter."

Soon it was Yongchangbo's birthday, and merchants and many officials from the entire Yangzhou City came.

Concubine Shen also brought her son and daughter-in-law here early.

Xiao Sirui's face was injured, it's unnecessary now, she doesn't even leave the room on weekdays.

The uncle's mansion is festive and lively today, the uncle sat at the head, his smiling eyes narrowed.

In a remote small courtyard of Shen's house, Wan Qiuyu's complexion improved a lot after raising her for a while.

Apart from not being able to leave the yard, Shen Qing did not treat her badly.

Listening to the commotion outside, Wan Qiuyu snorted mockingly.

It looks good now, but in a few days, he will be implicated by the Guangling Palace, and even lose his title.

In the banquet hall in the front yard, the atmosphere became a little more subtle because of Xiao Feng's arrival.

But in an instant, all the spirits present returned to normal.

On the female side, Concubine Shen had some accidents here.

People from Guangling Prince's Mansion came to report, but Xiao Mingyi ran out of the mansion and disappeared.

When Concubine Shen heard the news, she hurried back to the palace and started looking for someone.

The Bo mansion was lively until the evening, and the guests almost dispersed.

But Xiao Feng didn't leave, and was invited into the study by the old man.

When we came out, it was already dark, but today's lunch took too long, so dinner can be saved.

Xiao Feng's brows were wide open, and he was in a good mood.He knew that the Shen family was a good breakthrough.Since Uncle Shen was able to donate one million taels of silver boldly back then, his awareness is higher than that of ordinary businessmen, and he knows how to draw closer to the imperial court.

The servants of the uncle's mansion led the way, and there were lanterns hanging everywhere in the courtyard, dimly shadowed, not too bright, but barely able to see the road.

A month later, at the entrance of the cave, he saw two women approaching with lanterns in front of him, so he raised his leg to give way to the left.

Wan Jinlan had just returned from outside the mansion, and Xiao Feng hadn't expected that Xiao Feng hadn't left yet.

After saluting, she said: "It's dark and the road is slippery, my lord, let's go with a lantern."

She smiled and handed the red lantern in her hand forward.

Xiao Feng thanked him after receiving it.

Wan Jinlan took Chuntao and continued walking in after watching the backs of Xiao Feng and the servant disappear.

Wan Jinlan had gone to the Guangling Palace earlier, before Concubine Shen reported the letter back, saying that Xiao Mingyi had been found, so she couldn't wait to go and have a look.

Xiao Mingyi bought her guards, took advantage of Concubine Shen going out today, disguised herself and left the mansion through the back door in the afternoon, and ran all the way to the street.

She originally went to her ancestral home, but she didn't expect that King Guangling had already explained to her ancestral home.

When Xiao Mingyi knew that his grandfather was delivering news to the palace, he sneaked away again.

After she sneaked away, she was tricked into the land of fireworks, and almost lost her innocence.

It was also the people from the palace who found it in time, otherwise I really don't know what will happen.

In just one day, Xiao Mingyi's experience can be described as twists and turns.

When Wan Jinlan went to Guangling Palace, Xiao Mingyi was still crying, but he was so scared that he couldn't understand.

After talking with Shen Qing, Wan Jinlan took a sip of tea.

Shen Qing sighed: "I'm afraid Xiao Mingyi and your aunt will have a deadly enmity in the future."

Wan Jinlan said in a low voice: "If Xiao Mingyi wants to hate, she should hate King Guangling and herself the most."

It wasn't that she hurt Xiao Sirui's face on purpose, how could she change her.

Shen Qing was right, Xiao Mingyi really hated Concubine Shen's mother and daughter.

Concubine Shen was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so after the ceremony was over, she sent Xiao Mingyi away.

Xiao Mingyi's dowry was not in the turn of Concubine Shen to prepare it. Princess Guangling had already prepared the dowry all these years ago.

As the concubine's daughter of King Guangling, she married quietly, and the marriage was not considered a good marriage, so how could Xiao Mingyi not hate it.

What she hates the most are Concubine Shen and Xiao Sirui, and she also resents King Guangling.

Before the New Year's Eve, a letter came from the Jingdu Township Mansion.

Wan Jinlan also received a letter from his third brother Wan Zhijing.

Wan Zhijing said that when Xiao Minghuan and the sixth prince went out, they rescued the prostitute of the Marquis of Wuning's mansion, and then the emperor married the prostitute's daughter of Marquis of Wuning's mansion to the sixth prince.

Seeing this, Wan Jinlan raised her eyebrows slightly.

If Xiao Minghuan did it on purpose this time, it would be a waste of time.

Marquis Wu Ning is the emperor's confidant, in charge of the military force in Gyeonggi.

Xiao Minghuan had a clear goal, but in the end he didn't get what he wanted?

This meaning is revealed between the lines in Wanzhijing.

The corners of Wan Jinlan's lips curled up in a mocking arc. Xiao Minghuan lost this time, so he doesn't know who he will target next time.

Soon it was the New Year's Day, and early in the morning, the servants of the uncle's mansion began to hang up red lanterns, and put up couplets and door gods.

When Wan Jinlan got up, the servants of Shen's mansion were busy with their feet, and they seemed very lively.

After Wan Jinlan and Shen Xingyu talked to their mothers respectively, they left the house together.

The carriage stopped in front of Yushifu.

Shen Xingyu sat leaning against the carriage with a small heater in her arms, with a miscellaneous travel book on her lap, without raising her head: "Hurry up, you have to come out before my old lady Tang gets cold."

It was not the first time that Shen Xingyu had covered Wan Jinlan when the two left the house.

Wan Jinlan said with a smile, "Good sister, my jewelry box, you can choose it when you go back."
