The emperor immediately invited the abbot of Huangjue Temple and the Taoist priest Changsheng to enter the palace.

The three of them conspired again, and the others didn't know what they talked about yet. But from the subsequent series of actions in Prince Yong's mansion, it can be seen that Prince Yong's power could not compare to the imperial power, so he returned to the mansion to recuperate.

Of course, the emperor did not let Prince Yong die openly. Instead, he arranged for the master of Huangjue Temple and the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple to solve the problem for Prince Yong.

As for whether this old grudge can be successfully resolved, that is not the emperor's concern.

"Ha, the vain King."

Shen Yao shook her head speechlessly, saying that if the other party was really smart, he should have immediately admitted his mistake and asked the emperor for help when the incident happened (the old princess was sick). At least at that time, although the emperor would be dissatisfied, he would not ignore his personal life.

But who had allowed King Yong to be so clever as to presume to understand the demon's mind and actions? Now the cuckoo bird had broken its rules and had completely finished King Yong.

The system asked, "Will King Yong die?"

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said affirmatively, "It's only a matter of time."

The cuckoo's purpose was very clear. While recovering the contents of the earlier transaction, it was also seeking revenge for the cuckoo that had unfortunately been detained.

Among the several forces involved here, the lineage of King Yong is the easiest to deal with. Both Huangjue Temple and the Taoist temple have several powerful bosses to support them. The cuckoo bird wants to make sure that there will be a perpetrator for every grievance, but it is a wild monster that has to have such strength.

"That's not bad. By getting rid of King Yong, we can also indirectly avenge him." I think this cuckoo, who knows the current situation, will leave the capital soon.

Shen Yao shook her head in an enigmatic manner, her eyes filled with pity. "I once said that the cuckoo is a vengeful demon. Do you think it would leave so easily?"

system:……???

But if we don't leave, we can't get into Huangjue Temple and Taoist Temple, which the host just mentioned.

Shen Yao:......

Every time Shen Yao spoke to the naive system, she felt a sense of superiority, raising her hand and rubbing her forehead. "Many times, revenge isn't the only solution."

System: ...Ah?

"Beauty, family background, ability, authority." Shen Yao blurted out several methods, and calmly said that the cuckoo bird could also use the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force.

Borrow your strength?

The system's head was dizzy, and before it knew it, its thoughts were taken away by the host again.

Fortunately, Shen Yao did not deliberately lie to it, and some of her words were true. When the old princess was alive, she had introduced the cuckoo bird to the other princesses for their review, and mentioned the selection after the New Year.

"Once the cuckoo bird enters the palace and gains favor, it can use the imperial power to suppress various forces."

"To this day, goblins haven't been able to form an effective group. If a demon could successfully unite all the goblins and turn them into a force that cannot be underestimated, would Huangjue Temple and the Taoist temple dare to detain goblins at will?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and Shen Yao slowly turned over and sat up from the couch, "The solution is always found. As long as you are determined, there is nothing you can't do."

It all depends on how much effort you put in.

system:……

The system was stunned, a strong sense of pride rising in its heart. Wow! This is our host, so awesome!

"Well, the New Year's Palace Banquet is just a few days away. Don't you usually love to hear gossip?" Shen Yao winked playfully, suggesting that there was always a lot of gossip about the rich and powerful these days, and with so much free material, the system should hurry up and collect it.

Wow~

The system's pair of mechanical eyes (it must have them) flashed brightly, and it ran away with a whoosh.

Gossip, it loves it the most!

After being reminded by the host, the system finally realized what the host meant by "more". It was so much that it was surprised. It turned out that even a single word was considered gossip!

These powerful families are so scary that they can't even have normal daily conversations.

The younger generation competes for favor, the older generation competes for power, and even the servants in the mansion follow suit and try to get close to each other. The system is so happy in this land of the east city that it watches TV series as soon as it opens its eyes every day.

On the other side, Shen Yao was also selecting supplies for her departure from Beijing next spring.

The emperor in the palace could not stand Lin Xingzhi's nagging, and his words revealed that they would be away for quite a while, and these towns would even span the entire land of Liguo.

Well

In Shen Yao's understanding, it was a bit like traveling around the country. Anyway, starting from the capital, first touring the east, then north, then west, and finally south.

After completing the circle, you can return to the capital.

The journey would take about three to five years, and not only would the whole family have to go, but they would also have to bring the imperial guards for protection.

You should know that the Imperial Guards are an exclusive army that guards the security of the capital and maintains the emperor's majesty.

This time when Lin Xingzhi and his family went out, the emperor arranged the imperial guards to openly tell other people with ulterior motives not to take action against Prince Jing's family.

call

"Someone, bring the warehouse roster."

Shen Yao had just finished looking through the booklet in her hand and found that some of the content did not match. She shouted for someone to bring other lists.

A thick stack of rosters was placed on the table. Shen Yao opened it casually and spread it out flat. Then she selected from them according to her needs and drew circles one after another with a red pen.

Until the tip of the pen covered with cinnabar stopped, Shen Yao exhaled, raised her hand to pick up the teacup and put it to her lips to taste it gently.

The tea has a light aroma and a sweet aftertaste.

Slowly putting down the teacup in her hand, Shen Yao rubbed her wrist, then stood up and headed towards the courtyard.

It had snowed a few days ago, and Shen Yao let the servants help her put on her fox fur coat. The neck and cuffs were decorated with a snow-white fur collar, which made her lips red and teeth white, and her appearance stunning.

At this time, the three little devils were restless. Before Shen Yao arrived at the center of the courtyard, they saw several snowballs flying in the air not far away.

It turned out they were having a snowball fight!

Lin Xingzhi had a rare moment of free time, so he simply played with the three children.

Lin Shengjing and Lin Xingzhi, father and daughter, were on the same side, while Lin Shengyan and Lin Shengjue, brothers, were of one mind. Unfortunately, the brothers were no match for the father and daughter and were beaten back step by step.

"Mother, Mother"

"mother concubine"

Lin Shengjing's hands were red as he threw snowballs and laughed. He turned around and saw Shen Yao coming towards him on the snow. He quickly opened his hands and ran to ask for a hug.

Lin Shengyan and Lin Shengjue followed suit and called out "Mother". The two brothers acted like little men as they walked, but they didn't realize that with piles of snow hanging on them, they looked like two dirty little dumplings.

Shen Yao bent down helplessly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the faces and hands of the three children.

"Hehe, mother, it's itchy."

Lin Shengjing thought Shen Yao was playing with her, and couldn't help giggling and hiding behind.

Lin Xingzhi raised his hands from behind and took his precious daughter into his arms to coax her, then turned around and handed her to the wet nurse waiting beside him.

"Yao Niang"

Lin Xingzhi's voice was so soft that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

Shen Yao looked up and glared at Lin Xingzhi, then coaxed her two sons, then snorted softly and tapped Lin Xingzhi's lower back with her hand.

"Take three children and play around in the snow. You can comfort them later when they drink the cold medicine."

Although the three children had good constitutions and rarely caught a cold, they still had to drink some bitter soup as a precaution after staying outside for too long in the winter.

Including the little men, everyone has difficulty taking medicine.

Unfortunately, children are very strong and can make a lot of noise. Every time they take medicine, many people have to coax and persuade them, which is more tiring than handling the miscellaneous affairs of the mansion.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

Hearing the voice, his expression froze slightly, and he lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Yao timidly. Lin Xingzhi had to use his own beauty to plead with her in a low voice.

Shen Yao:......

She asked the servants to take the three children back to the house and asked the court doctor to help with the treatment. After seeing everyone else leave, Shen Yao pulled Lin Xingzhi into the nearest room.

The daily expenses of Prince Jing's Mansion were like running water. Even the rooms where no one lived permanently had charcoal fires on display and were often cleaned and maintained.

Raising her hand and touching Lin Xingzhi's sweaty forehead, Shen Yao pinched his cheek angrily, "Don't you know your own physical condition?"

It's still a long way from being fully recovered. Without my power bank to help me with my conditioning, I'm probably still staying in the hot spring villa to recuperate.

Lin Xingzhi took advantage of the situation and knew that his wife was not really angry, so he quickly leaned over to kiss and hug her, saying that he knew he was wrong and would never do it again.

Ok?

"Yao Niang"

Lin Xingzhi kept calling Shen Yao's name in a vague voice.

Shen Yao softened her heart when she was called, and her serious expression became gentle and docile.

Seeing this, Lin Xingzhi continued to move closer and whispered a few private words. Shen Yao's cheeks suddenly turned red, her eyes were full of affection, and she couldn't help but bite her teeth.

"Don't"

Lin Qinghuai lowered his head and kissed her, rescuing her pair of cherry lips.

"What nonsense! In broad daylight, you are always so dishonest."

Shen Yao weakly rejected Lin Xingzhi's ambiguous invitation and stood up to leave, but her cloak was too thick and she fell into his arms.

Lin Xingzhi smiled and moved closer. What do you call this? The wife throws herself into his arms, and it's hard for the husband to refuse.

The cloak on his body was taken off and placed on the couch. Shen Yao's eyes kept turning, and finally stopped on Lin Xingzhi's handsome face with red ears.

…………

"Princess, the carriage is ready, it's time to set off."

Shen Yao nodded lightly and let the servants respectfully help her, who was dressed in formal attire, to get on the carriage outside the door.

Lin Xingzhi was already waiting by the car. When he saw Shen Yao coming, he quickly reached out and grabbed her, then slowly helped her into the car.

In the carriage behind the two of them sat three children wrapped like red envelopes.

It was already time for the New Year's palace banquet, and their family of five was about to enter the palace to accompany the emperor in singing this happy family performance.

The carriage arrived at the palace gate in a short while, and the family of five had to get off the ground and walk.

The three children had the privilege of being carried around by palace servants, but Shen Yao and Lin Xingzhi were not so lucky. They could only follow the eunuchs, and when they met familiar royal relatives on the way, they had to greet each other with a smile.

"The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prince Yong's Mansion"

Shen Yao pointed at the two people walking in front. Even though they were only seen from behind, she still recognized them.

"Prince Yong is seriously ill, and the two of them should have stayed at home to take care of him." Why did they choose to enter the palace at this time?

It’s not that Lin Xingzhi is superstitious, but because of the series of events that have happened recently in Prince Yong’s Mansion, the emperor will consciously avoid contact. If Prince Yong and Princess Consort have any intention, they should not run into the palace and disturb them.

You must know that Prince Yong has not yet died of illness and abdicated the throne, and the title inherited by the Crown Prince also requires the Emperor's order.

Are the people in Prince Yong's Mansion so stupid that they choose this time to enter the palace and offend the noble?

No, it cannot be said that they are stupid, it can only be said that they think differently from other people.

Prince Yong and his wife felt that they should go to the palace more often at this time, even if they could not attend the New Year's palace banquet. But as the saying goes, a meeting brings three points of affection. The relationship between them and the emperor is based on face. If they don't go too far, they will discuss how to inherit the title. How many of their fathers have passed away, and how many of their children and grandchildren are still living in a crowded mansion.

"I hope the emperor will not mind because we have been well-behaved for many years," sighed Prince Yong. Their Yong Palace is now the laughing stock of the entire capital.

Even the old princess's family was not in such a bad situation as the Yongwang Mansion.

The Crown Prince's wife pinched her fingers and advised the Crown Prince not to be too pessimistic. After all, they were still royal relatives, and the Emperor and the Empress would take their feelings into consideration.

"I have to be considerate of their feelings. They should be sensible and reasonable. Don't you think it's inappropriate to enter the palace at this time?" In the main hall of Fengyi Palace, the queen allowed the palace maids to put on their makeup and wash up.

The Queen was still incapable of reacting when she heard the servants suddenly report that Prince Yong's wife wanted to see her.

Who? Who's coming to visit? On such a happy family day?

The Queen waved her hand silently and didn't even meet the Princess Consort of Prince Yong. She just said that there was not enough time and let her go back.

Princess Yong:......

The emperor on the other hand was not as heartless as the queen. When he met Prince Yong, he just looked at him from afar and gave him some supplements to take back.

The couple came out of the palace timidly and looked at each other at the palace gate.

They seemed to have misunderstood what the emperor and empress meant, thinking that they had not come often enough and were planning to come again.

It’s a good thing that the emperor and empress didn’t know about their weirdness, otherwise they would definitely curse at them, calling them a family of idiots!

…………

The New Year's palace banquet was held in the afternoon and would not be over until the evening.

Because of Lin Xingzhi's relationship, Shen Yao was ranked near the front, and she only needed to look up slightly to see the emperor and empress sitting at the top.

The emperor and the empress seemed to be at odds with each other, and even when they looked at each other, they showed no emotion.

Shen Yao sat below watching the excitement, and occasionally talked to the other princesses around her. After the emperor raised his glass to celebrate with a smile, musicians suddenly appeared in the hall, playing music, and palace maids in colorful clothes danced gracefully.

Shen Yao looked at the exquisite but already cold food on the table and had no appetite at all.

The three younger children were taken to a side hall to rest, while Lin Xingzhi sat not far from Shen Yao, chatting and laughing with the people around him and drinking happily.

Lin Xingzhi doesn't like drinking, but he has to socialize in such occasions.

By the time the family of five came out of the palace, Lin Xingzhi had already been soaked in the smell of alcohol, and his drunken appearance made Shen Yao shake her head repeatedly.

"Well"

Lin Xingzhi frowned, leaned against the carriage, closed his eyes and moaned softly.

Shen Yao raised her hand to rub his forehead, and then fed the soup that she had prepared in advance into his mouth. After Lin Xingzhi drank it obediently, he opened his eyes and looked around in a daze.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch her face, trying to comfort Lin Xingzhi after his accusations.

The carriage was full of life. She didn't like alcohol, but she liked Lin Xingzhi when he was drunk.
