Chapter 61
The eldest princess watched her son keep silent and just smiled silly, then sighed helplessly: "You can sleep here today, so that you won't have to worry about getting up when you go back."

"That's exactly what my son thinks." Han Jianyuan came back quietly, and he didn't want more people to know the news of his return to Beijing before dawn.Although Zhongyihou's mansion is his own home, Han Jianyuan is really worried about Zhou's temper.

The eldest princess hurriedly called her personal maid to come in and let Han Jianyuan clean up the East Nuan Pavilion for a night's rest.

Han Jianyuan came out of the eldest princess's room and went to the West Wing to see his son Han Junfang going to the East Nuan Pavilion to rest.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Feng came to say good morning to the eldest princess as usual, but they were blocked by Wang Momo: "Your Majesty came back at dawn, and just fell asleep, and the eldest princess said Today's good morning will be skipped, please come back after lunch, the two grandmas."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly asked, "Master Hou is back? Where's the uncle?"

"Go back to Grandma, Grandpa just fell asleep in Dongnuan Pavilion." Wang Momo said with a smile.

"Why did you sleep here? You didn't go home." Zhou looked up at the tight windows of Dongnuange, bit his lip, turned and left.

Naturally Wang Momo couldn't accept Zhou's words, so she just smiled slightly at Feng's, bowed her body and said, "Second Grandma, please go back too."

Feng Shi chuckled and nodded, then turned and left.

No one knew what the prince and Han Entropy had said when they entered the palace that night.Not even useful news came from the eyeliner placed in the palace by Mr. An Yihou Zhou, the chief assistant of the cabinet.It's just that the emperor's next few actions towards the ministers in the court really surprised and even panicked.

First, Jin Linwei was ordered to raid the house of a head of the Ministry of Rites.

Then, Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department was dismissed for investigation and handed over to Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for joint interrogation.

Related to this, the prefect of Haining was secretly arrested, escorted back to the capital by the Lie Yingwei, and handed over to Dali Temple for trial.In addition, a total of 27 officials, large and small, were implicated.Among them, 12 were sentenced to capital punishment, and the rest were either sent to the frontier or imprisoned for life.

For a while, although it was not a major earthquake in the officialdom, it was still bloody.

It was already the end of the year after this matter subsided.When the major aristocratic families seriously calculated the success or failure of this year, each one of them was frightened again.

After Laba, it is time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, from the inner garden of the imperial palace to the homes of ordinary people.

The Princess's Mansion is naturally no exception. Feng Shi, who is in charge of the common affairs inside and outside of the Princess's Mansion, besides preparing annual gifts for the princes and ladies in the palace, also has to worry about the daily life of the Princess and the Little Princess. Wait for trifles.

In addition, since Zhongyi Hou came back from his last business trip, his health has become extremely poor. First he was ill, and after recovering from his illness, his spirit has not been very good. There are imperial doctors walking around in the princess' mansion from time to time. Getting up early and going to bed late is so busy that I never have a moment to spare.

It was nearly two o'clock that night, when Feng Shi came back from the Princess's mansion, when he entered the door, he saw Han Jiankai had changed into a homely robe and was leaning on the couch to read a book, because he said with a smile: "Second Master came back early today."

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and I have to ask people to rest for two days." Han Jiankai threw the book in his hand on the kang table, stood up, supported Feng's shoulders, and sat down on the kang with her. Fang asked: " Mother is asleep?"

Feng Shi nodded, hesitated for a moment before sighing: "Well, the Eldest Princess is not in a very good mood today, and she didn't eat much for dinner. If you don't go out tomorrow, go over and say hello."

"Okay." Han Jian replied, "I'll go there with you tomorrow morning."

"Second Master hasn't seen anyone these few days, what are you up to?" Feng asked with a light smile as he leaned on the cushion behind him.

Han Jian laughed and said, "It's not about the Chinese New Year. There are only a pile of bills for the renters of the fiefdoms and the filial piety of the Zhuangzi. This year, there are a lot of messy things, and the elder brother has been missing all day. It fell on me?"

After hearing this, Feng couldn't help laughing: "I'm too busy and confused. By the way, when it comes to the New Year's ceremony, I heard that Mr. Shoufu has kept a low profile recently, and I heard that those who come to flatter and give New Year's gifts Don’t you dare to leave through the main entrance?”

Han Jiankai pondered and said: "This time the Emperor Longyan was furious. Although the foundation of the Zhou family would not be touched, the minions always chopped off a few. After careful calculation, the biggest loss this time should be their family."

Feng leaned sideways on Han Jiankai's arms, fiddled with the embroidery on his collar, and sighed in a low voice: "Sister-in-law's complexion is really bad these days."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Just take care of your mother's affairs." Han Jiankai whispered, holding his wife's shoulders.

"Well, I know. It's true what you said, but it happened at this time that Ninghou's mansion agreed to the marriage between the third master and the second girl." Feng said this matter again with another wry smile.Ordinarily, this is a good thing. Marriage with the Ninghou Mansion is something that many princes and noble families are looking forward to, but it is hard to say when the Yongyihou Mansion proposed a marriage and was dismissed not long ago.After all, the Feng family is also a new daughter-in-law, the Zhou family and the Yongyi Hou's mansion did not dare to show embarrassment to the eldest princess, but they were not afraid of her.Over the past few days, over the past few days, the second wife over there and the eldest grandma here have turned their faces at every turn, which made Feng's heart very resentful.

"It's a good thing." Han Jian said with a smile, "It's his blessing that the third brother is able to marry Miss Dewei. As a sister-in-law, you should take care of it for him."

"Hey, look at what you said." Feng Shi looked at Han Jiankai with a half-smile, "Am I not as good as him?"

"Nonsense." Han Jian smiled and put his arms around Feng Shi's waist, gently pulled her in, and pressed her from his arms to his body.

There was a rustling sound in the room, like the rubbing of silk and satin, mixed with low and slight sighs, like a flame burning bamboo charcoal, beeping, beeping, lingering.

When Baozhu approached the door, she stopped abruptly, and the little maid who was carrying ginseng soup behind her almost bumped into her.

"Sister?" The little maid looked at Baozhu strangely, why did she stop at the door?
"You go down." Baozhu glanced at the ginseng soup on the tray, and then ordered in a low voice: "Put this on the small stove to simmer, and grandma will bring it later when she wants it."

"Yes." Although the little maid didn't understand why, she still retreated in a polite manner.

In the early morning of the second day, Han Jiankai and Feng's family got up early, cleaned up and headed to the eldest princess mansion to pay their respects to their parents. On the way, they happened to meet Han Jianyuan and Han Jianshi who were going to pay their respects, and the three brothers went together.

The eldest princess was combing her hair. They came together and said with a smile, "Why is it so tidy today? It seems like we have made an appointment."
