The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

It’s the Lantern Festival again.

Couples hold lanterns together by the moat; young men with golden sables and beauties with beaded crowns guess lantern riddles at the lantern festival. If they are right, they use lanterns to convey their love.

As a child, Yaya went to the lantern festival, bought dough and candy figures, went to the boat, and played "falling money."

"Mother, Yabao and I are going to put out river lanterns tonight."

Xie Wuya gently pulled his mother's sleeve, raised his head, his round and shiny black pupils shone with the light of expectation, "Grandma said, although a micro-lamp is small, it can carry the wishes and blessings of the new year." Think about it.”

Yan Ze also held a handmade orange-petaled river lantern: "The baby is ready, and I will give it to my mother."

Mu Tingxue's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she saw the orange-petaled lamp, which was exquisite, small and quite cute. Although the workmanship is not exquisite, it is very attentive. There is a small poem written by the son on the orange lantern - the misty waves linger for a long time, and the evening breeze carries the lantern into the rivers and lakes.

"Zebao is good at his craftsmanship."

She took the chrysanthemum river lantern and couldn't put it down. "However, when we go to the lantern festival at night, you two need to follow me closely. Don't be playful and get lost in the crowd. There are many people who kidnap and traffic children."

She is the victim.

A five-year-old princess can be kidnapped and trafficked at the lantern festival, let alone other children.

Every year during the Lantern Festival, children of common people and aristocratic families disappear during the Lantern Festival and are abducted and sold to various states and counties. They are either sold as small slaves, sold into brothels as apprentices, or sold into remote forests in the mountains. And less than one tenth of these children can be found by their biological parents, or they can save some money and go home on their own with their memories when they grow up.

Zebao waved his little fist: "Don't be afraid, I will protect my brother and beat him until his teeth are everywhere!"

After all, he grew up in a honeypot. Although he experienced two days in Stone Village, he still didn't fully understand the many sufferings in the world.

Ya Bao was much more cautious, with a solemn look on his face: "I will never leave my mother even an inch."

He was almost resold by that damn bad adoptive father.

In the past, the low-level slave children who were raised as thin horses and child molesters in the Mu Mansion had to be slapped, whipped with bamboo strips every day, and were even forced to do some disgusting things.

"Master, this is the invitation to the lantern festival sent to my house."

The eldest princess's palace chief, Shi Jingxiu, came over with a thick stack of letters and calligraphy papers. Each one was carefully framed. The handwriting was particularly elegant, the words were beautifully carved, and the friendship was profound.

Jing Changshi felt that it was too difficult for him as a housekeeper.

Give it to the master, the regent will probably be angry;

Not giving it to the master would appear disloyal and deliberately concealing it.

Therefore, Jing Changshi watched the time when Yan Yang was not at home and secretly gave these things to the eldest princess that might make the male master jealous.

"Wow, mother is so popular. There are ten, twenty, thirty... ninety-six invitations."

Zebao counted them quickly, excited, and muttered, "When will I receive so many invitations? All the beauties in the city love me."

"Brother, can you bear it?"

"Eat as much as you can!"

"Hey, why is this first copy written by Prince Jingyu's son Li Yuan? Unlucky!"

Zebao perfectly inherited the hatred of the Li family from the elders of the Yan family. He often fought with the boys surnamed Li from the Imperial Education Department of the Imperial Academy. One-on-three was a common occurrence, and sometimes he would drag his younger brother Yabao to fight two-on-five.

Mu Tingxue glanced at it.

If it really belonged to Li Yuan's cousin, there was more than one invitation letter.

As if he was afraid of being detained and thrown away, he actually sent seven different invitations, all of which were beautifully written and not all the same.

"Don't worry about him."

It’s useless no matter how much you give. She had already accepted her husband's invitation and went to light the hibiscus incense lamp with him.

Jing Xiu said with emotion: "Many members of powerful and aristocratic families in Yundu have sent invitations. There are also some who come to Beijing from other places to report on their work, and they have also sent invitations."

Mu Tingxue's heart was as clear as a mirror: "They may not be sincere, but they just want a chance to make a fortune."

Marriage cannot stop these young talents who are eager to climb up and rush to the eldest princess to beg for a bowl of soft rice.

after all.

According to Yunhuang's marriage laws, it is completely legal for a princess to take a male concubine and lose her face.

Proud and dignified men, especially those from well-established and powerful families, generally disdain to serve the princess. However, there will always be people who pursue power and profit in this world.

Xie Qingyuan is not the deprived eldest princess like Xie Jihu. She has great power. With one word, she can turn Shenwei Hou Shizi Su Zixiu from a hostage to the Southeast Governor with 300,000 naval troops. With one word, she can make Lan Lingxiao The rehabilitation of the family and the return of Xiao Wangzhi allowed the young master Renqing, who played and sang in the brothel, to hold 1.6 million yuan of salt and transform himself into the minister of household affairs.

Mu Tingxue flipped through it casually and found that one of the invitation letters was actually from his apprentice Su Zixiu.

She muttered, "You brat, you must have sent it to the wrong place."

It should be sent to Pei's house.

Although the Pei family in the Southeast is not as prestigious and rich as the Su family, it is still a powerful family that has been rooted in the Southeast for generations. It has been a high-ranking family since the Xuan Dynasty of the previous generation. It has a history of more than 300 years and has produced many high-ranking officials of the third rank. During the reign of the late emperor, Pei Xuan had been appointed as Shangshu Youpushe, and he and Li Fan were the superiors and subordinates of each other, and they had a harmonious relationship. The late emperor was killed by Yan Yang, and the officials in the imperial court were purged. Pei Xuan was demoted to the governor of Songzhou, and the position of right minister fell to his brother-in-law.

Su Zixiu's ex-fiancée is Pei Xuan's daughter, Pei Meiyan.

Because Su Shixing, the Marquis of Shenwei, preferred Su Zirang, who was born from his concubine, and wanted to pass on his eldest son Su Zixiu and pass on the title and the navy tiger talisman to Su Zirang, so the Pei family became a wallflower and took the initiative to break off the engagement with Su Zixiu and turn to Su Zirang. Pei Meiyan and Su Zirang get engaged.

This incident made Su Zixiu furious. His fiancée was taken away by his concubine. How could he bear it?

He recognized the eldest princess as his master, learned the Yuanyang Formation specially designed to kill Japanese pirates, and relied on the eldest princess's help to fight back to the southeast for revenge. He got back everything he had lost, and even planned to marry Su Zirang. It is said that on the day Su Zirang and Pei Meiyan got married, he led an army to snatch the bride, which directly ruined the marriage.

Governor Su's marriage abduction was even turned into a opera, with many opera troupes in Yundu singing, and the venue was full.

Who in the world doesn't know that Su Zixiu has a deep love for Pei Meiyan, the daughter of the Pei family?

That night.

People on the street are like ants, coming and going in a constant stream.

Along the moat, there are twenty-mile misty towers on the bank, pines and waves, towering ancient trees, and extremely gorgeous and extravagant painted boats for rafting. The three bridges of Wuwang, Nanxi and Luoheng span the sparkling water. During the annual Lantern Festival, the moat will be blocked, water transportation is prohibited, and commercial and civilian ships are blocked, so that dignitaries and ordinary people all over the city can come to the river to put lanterns and pray for the new year.

Mu Tingxue and Yan Yang went to the Lantern Festival together and walked to the Lotus Bridge, accompanied by two cute dumplings wearing floating bamboo fur.
