Chapter 125 The Empress Dowager's Departure (2)
"Oh! This is a novelty. The Empress Dowager has not invited Shen Ruyan into the palace for many years. Occasionally, Shen Ruyan would only pick important ones and come to the palace banquets. This time it is a bit strange! You continue to let the matter at the palace gate People are watching, and if there is any change, come and tell me."

Although Pei Wuying was a little puzzled, she didn't take it to heart.

"Go down, let Mei Xiang come in to serve you, and get ready to set the meal!"

"Yes, the slaves retire."

Mei Xiang was receiving a letter from the secret guard, and when Ju Xiang said that the empress was looking for her, she hurried into the room with the letter.

"Your Majesty, a letter from the secret guard!" Mei Xiang handed the letter to Pei Wuying, stepped behind him, and helped Pei Wushuang comb his hair.

Pei Wuying slowly opened the letter, his complexion became more and more ugly with the contents of the letter, viciousness and regret intertwined in his eyes, Mei Xiang was terrified when he saw it, and the movements of his hands subconsciously relaxed.

"Crack!" Pei Wuying slapped the dressing table after reading the letter, and gradually clenched the hand holding the letter.

"The bastard of a lowly life dares to enter the palace. I was soft-hearted at the beginning and let her go. As expected, the grass was cut and the roots were not uprooted. The spring breeze blows and regenerates. This time, I will make your three children die happily!" Pei Wuying The sinister expression on his face ruined his beautiful face, and the vicious eyes made people tremble with fear.

It's just that Pei Wuying didn't know that this time the Queen Mother struck first, and she was caught off guard.

Cining Palace.

"Mother, is Mrs. Shen here?" Pei Shuhan received the letter from Qian Yaxue. After reading it, she was sad, but couldn't hide her excitement. She looked forward to it. Early this morning, before dawn, she entered the palace with King Dingyong and waited. The arrival of Shen Ruyan and Erya.

"Sister, don't worry, we both entered the palace together with the lord, so naturally it will be earlier, and people will arrive soon." Qian Yaxue knew Pei Shuhan's mood.

Back then, Pei Shuhan was taken home by the old master Pei, and she was brought up together with Pei Wushuang, saying that she was a righteous granddaughter, but she was treated the same as her own granddaughter. Four years older, she was married to King Dingyong in March of the year when Pei Wushuang and Ji were married, and now the emperor's younger brother Tian Honggang is the princess.

"You girl, I've never seen Ai's family in such a hurry..." The queen mother pretended to be savoring and said that she was in a good mood.

"Empress Dowager, Eunuch Lin brought them here!" Yue Xi came in to deliver a message.

"Quick, just let Ru Yan in!" The queen mother was also a little anxious.

Shen Ruyan got off the sedan chair, took Erya by the hand, and followed Eunuch Lin into the Palace of Compassion.

"The court lady Shen Ruyan pays homage to the empress dowager, the empress is a thousand years old!"

"The daughter of the people, Lin Xin, pays homage to the empress dowager, the empress is a thousand years old!"

Shen Ruyan took Erya and knelt down to greet the Queen Mother.

"Yue Xi, quickly help Mrs. Shen and Er Ya get up and sit down!" The Empress Dowager's expression was excited and she was very happy.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Shen Ruyan and Erya said in unison.

"Mrs. Shen, get up quickly!" Yue Xi stepped forward, helping Shen Ruyan up with Erya.

Shen Ruyan saw that Qian Yaxue, Pei Shuhan and Concubine An Tang Mengling were all there, so she hurriedly brought Erya to salute.

The moment Pei Shuhan and Qian Yaxue saw Erya, they knew that this must be Pei Wushuang's daughter, no matter in eyes or appearance, they were [-]-[-]% similar.

Pei Shuhan was very excited, tears rolled in her eyes, she looked straight at Erya without taking her eyes off her.

"Erya, come to Ai's house!" The queen mother waved to Erya.

Erya took a look at Shen Ruyan, saw her smiling and nodding, then stood up, walked in small steps, and walked to the Empress Dowager.

"Good boy, the three of you siblings are suffering, come on, Erya, let Aijia take a good look at you!"

"Erya, why is your sister here? And your brother?"

"If you go back to the princess, my house is building a new building, and my sister can't leave. My brother will take the children's exam next year, and I will study with my husband at home." Er Ya's tone was loud, neither humble nor overbearing.

"So, how is your family living now? Is there enough food and clothing? Is there a wife and maid at home?" Pei Shuhan asked each sentence carefully, and her concern was beyond words.

"Life at home is very good now, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. There are Mrs. An and Mrs. Li, Mrs. An and Brother and Uncle Niu's family, Mr. Yu, Uncle Dashan and Mrs. Cuihua often come to the house Take care of our siblings." Erya counted everyone in the family, and answered safely and comprehensively.

"Okay, okay, Shu Han, you all came to the Aijia Palace today, one is to meet Erya, and the other is that the Aijia also has something to discuss with you. Girl Xue told me just now, and I will prepare for it tomorrow. Go back to Qingxi Town with Erya, Ruyan, this time, except for Wujing and Yunfei, do you want to go with all of your family?"

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, except for Wu Jing and Fei Boy, everyone will go with Erya, and the old man will also go with him."

"What about the return date?"

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the date of return has not yet been determined. The old man said that if the mountains and forests of Erya's family are good, they will live there for the elderly and will not return to Beijing." Shen Ruyan was in a good mood when thinking of the old man Pei saying this, and her whole body was relaxed. Look, I am very pleased.

The capital is prosperous, but it is not free. It is not as comfortable as the wild forests in the mountains.

"Well, that's fine. Although this capital city is good, it has confused many people's eyes and hearts!..." The Queen Mother sighed.

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, everyone bowed their heads in silence. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Empress Dowager must also...

"I want you all to come here today. The Ai family is going to hold a family banquet in the evening. When the time comes, you will all bring your children here. When the Ai family is old, I want my children and grandchildren to gather together. Tomorrow, the Xue girl will leave Beijing. It's time for activities, those people in the province have almost forgotten about Aijia..."

"They are safe, and you can be more secure on the way to Beijing. The Ai family can also rest assured..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes didn't know where to look, and she muttered in her mouth.

Everyone knew it well, and they didn't bother to bother, Erya was obediently still held by the Queen Mother, neither arrogant nor impatient.

At noon, everyone had lunch in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and sent Shen Ruyan and Erya away. Of course, they received a lot of gifts in large and small packages.

Both Qian Yaxue and Pei Shuhan stayed in the palace directly, waiting for the evening banquet.

Bright lights, singing and dancing.

The empress dowager and the emperor sat in high positions, looking happy.

The queen sat alone at the first table on the left, and the corresponding first table on the right was Prince Tian Minghao.

Concubine An Guifei Tang Mengling and Eldest Princess Tian Mingran sat next to the Empress, and facing Ding'an Wang Tianhonglie and Qian Yaxue, Dingyong Wang Tianhonggang and Pei Shuhan sat opposite.

Tian Mingyu and Tian Mingjun sat next to each other, both behind his father, queen and concubine. Sitting next to Tian Mingjun was a quiet and graceful woman in a water-red palace dress. It was Yu Yunxin, Tian Mingjun's eldest son and concubine. .
