War palace.

Father Zhang smiles and gives Fengche a gift. "Lord, today's banquet in the palace, the emperor asked the old slave to send you a message."

It's a rule to have a banquet in the palace on Lunar New Year's Eve every year. The important officials in the court will take their wives and relatives to attend. In previous years, Fengche was not in Beijing. Needless to say, this year, he is bound to go to the palace.

"Please tell the emperor that I will be there on time."

"That's very kind. The emperor must be very happy."

"Cough..."

The wind Che couldn't help coughing.

"Oh, Lord Zhan, this is..."

"I feel cold by accident..."

"Oh, I'll go back and report to the emperor immediately, and send the imperial doctor to come here."

Feng Che waved his hand, "it's all right. I'll pay for it."

Seeing that his face was not good, father-in-law Zhang was not at ease

"It's really OK. It's just the usual cold."

Mr. Zhang put down his heart and said, "the old slave will go back and report to the emperor."

Seeing off father-in-law Zhang, Fu Bo came to Fengche and was very worried, "Lord, you are not in good health. Why don't you let father-in-law Zhang report to the emperor and exempt you from the banquet?"

"Fubo, the banquet is the emperor's reward to the Minister of the imperial court. If I was not in Jingzhong in the past years, I would not take part in it. If I am here this year, if I don't take part in it again, I will not give the emperor face."

"But your body..."

"No problem. I'll come back immediately after midnight. By the way, go tell Xia Xi and let her follow me."

Fubo glared, "Lord, it's not good. There are many rules in the palace. If Miss Xia bumps into a noble person, she will be in great trouble."

"No bodyguard is allowed in the palace. Feng an and Feng Zhong can't get in. I always have someone to wait on me. Don't worry, I will always let her follow me."

Fubo couldn't, so he had to tell Xia Xi.

Fubo couldn't put down his heart. He told Xia Xi again and again for fear that she would cause any trouble.

Xia Xi took out her ears and said with a smile, "Uncle Fu, my ears are going to be cocooned. Don't worry. When I get to the palace, I will stay by Fengche's side honestly and never go anywhere."

"Oh, my Miss Xia, when you come to the palace, you can't call the LORD by his name. You should call him by his name."

"Yes, I call him Wang Ye."

In order to avoid his nagging, Xia Xi answers kindly.

The housekeeper was still not at ease. He asked for two or three quarters of an hour before he left.

Xia Xi breathed a sigh of relief, secretly scolded Feng Che, this is not a human thing, you go to the palace, why still drag on her, she does not want to see people kneel.

……

At the beginning of Xu Shi,

Fengche and Xiaxi went out of the door of the palace, got on the carriage and went to the palace.

Xia Xi changed into a brand-new dress, and even the hair ornaments on her head were made for her by several servant girls in the house, so as not to let other servant girls in the house compare her.

After being pressed to dress up for so long, Xia Xi is on fire in her heart. After she gets on the carriage, she looks at Feng Che's leg and says, "there are so many servant girls in the house. If you don't take them with you, just let me follow."

She this kick of merciless, wind Che pain of grin, good voice good spirit of ask, "angry?"

Xia Xi stares at him, "what do you say?"

"Why?"

The wind Che doesn't understand, isn't saying that the world's women are all eager to enter the imperial palace? Why does Xia Xi react like this.

Xia Xi rolled his eyes, "you sit, I stand, you eat, I look, you say why?"

The breeze Che is stunned for a while, then low voice laughs.

Xia Xi is not angry, "what are you laughing at?"

The wind Che smiles more joyfully.

Xia Xi is another kick in the past, "laugh again, I won't go."

Feng Che immediately stopped laughing, recovered his expressionless face, stretched out his hand to pull her to his side, "I thought you and other women, want to go to the palace to have a look."

Xia Xi suddenly came spirit, "brain smoked just want to go to that kind of place?"

Feng Che was silent and said without any confidence, "in fact, the imperial palace is good, at least..."

"I'm just a country woman. Whether the palace is good or not has anything to do with me. I like the unrestrained days in weijiacun."

Hearing the meaning of missing in her words, Feng Che said, "it's not suitable to leave on the first day of the new year tomorrow. We'll go back on the second day of the New Year!"

……

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, many officials had already arrived, and the carriage was orderly arranged at the palace gate.

As early as in front of the corner, Xia Xi will get off the carriage, now the carriage stops, only Fengche a person from the horse down.

All the officials saluted him one after another, and Fengche nodded one by one.

Feng an and Feng Zhong stay outside. Xia Xi lowers her head and follows Feng Che into the palace.

Every step of the way, there was a big red lantern hanging in the palace. The palace people standing on both sides also held it in their hands and illuminated the palace like day.

Officials exchanged greetings and entered Xuanyi hall, where the Palace Banquet was held every year.

All the officials came early, but the banquet hasn't been held yet.

Feng Che went to his seat and sat down. Xia Xi followed him and stood behind him.

There are delicate fruits and cakes on the table.

"The third dish of cakes on your right, I'll try two."

Xia Xi's lips moved, and only Feng Che could hear what she said.

Fengche reaches over and puts the dish in front of him, then covers it with wide cuffs and takes two pieces for Xia Xi.

Xia Xi broke off a small piece, put it into her mouth and ate it with her head down.

And I don't know, all these actions were seen by Jiang Wan who was sitting on the other side of the family table.

Jiang Wanhen couldn't do it, repressed her anger, said a word to her mother, and then turned away from the desk.

Several palace maids came in with tea and put them in front of the crowd one by one. When they arrived at Fengche, they slipped and the tea cups in their hands flew towards Fengche.

Wind Che originally wanted to dodge, thought of Xia Xi behind him, rigidly did not move. The tea cup fell on him, tilted, and the tea in it spilled all over him.

There was a burst of exclamation.

The palace maid was so scared that she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "Lord Zhan spared his life, Lord Zhan spared his life."

The eunuch in charge came over in a hurry. Seeing that Feng Che was in a mess, he immediately changed his face. "Come on, pull this cheap maid down, and blame him."

Two palace people came over, covered the maid's mouth and pulled her down.

The eunuch in charge of the matter bowed to him tremblingly, "Lord Zhan, please calm down. I'll take you to change your clothes."

Today wear thick, inside the hall and warm, wind Che casually shake shake the tea on the body, "no need."

"No way."

The eunuch in charge advised in a shrill voice, "it's more than two hours before the end of the banquet. You'll catch cold if you hold on like this."

"Change it."

Xia Xi low voice advise, wind Che body is not good, if catch a cold again, new year's day two, they can't go back.

Feng Che takes a look at the eunuch in charge. His eyes are very cold. The frozen Eunuch in charge shivers and bows lower. He wants to make such a big mistake at this time.

"Lead the way ahead!"

The eunuch in charge answered in a hurry and bowed out of Xuanyi hall with wind.

"You go to the carriage to get your clothes, and then go to the warm pavilion to find me."

On the carriage, there were clothes that fauber had kept for him.

Xia Xi nods and goes to get the clothes.

Fengche comes to the warm pavilion with the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch in charge ordered the man to bring a cup of tea with Fengche and wait with his body bowed.

A little eunuch came in and whispered a few words in his ear.

The eunuch looked up and said, "Lord, the banquet is about to begin. I'll wait for you..."

"Go ahead, I'll go after I change my clothes."

"Thank you, Lord."

The eunuch in charge retreats, leaving Fengche alone in the warm Pavilion.

Feng Che picked up the tea and took a few mouthfuls.

……

At the gate of the palace, Xia Xi, who came back with her clothes, was stopped by the eunuch guarding the gate of the palace, "where's the waist tag?"

Xia Xi Leng next, she just followed wind Che to go in together, where have what waist tag?

The eunuch chased her, "no waist tag, step back."

"No, I just came out of it. Didn't you see it just now?"

Eunuch a pair of business attitude, "we only recognize waist tag, do not recognize people."

"You..."

When Feng an and Feng Zhong hear the news, they see that Xia Xi can't get in. Feng an takes out his money card and says, "we are from Prince Zhan's mansion. She takes care of our Lord with her. She comes out to get clothes for our Lord. They can let her in for convenience."

"That won't do."

Eunuch oil and salt do not enter, "our duty is to guard the palace gate, only recognize the waist tag, do not recognize people, you say she is a person of the war palace, her waist tag? The waist tag lights up, and we'll let her in at once. "

Feng an suppressed his anger and waved his waist tag, "you see clearly, this is my waist tag."

"Yours doesn't work. Ask for her."

……

No matter what Feng an said, the eunuch was not allowed in.

A carriage came in a hurry and stopped at the gate of the palace. Marquis Qin came down from the carriage. The old Marquis had already come. He stayed at home to take care of Fengqin and his children. He was a little late.

Looking at feng'an at the door, he walked over and said, "what's the matter?"

"Lord Qin!"

They saluted him.

"Feng... The Lord accidentally spilled tea on his clothes. I came out to get my clothes, but they wouldn't let me in."

Xia Xi opens her mouth.

"We are also business, as long as the waist card, we will let her in."

"Come on, I'll take her in!"

Marquis Qin opened a mouth, two eunuchs where dare to say what, get out of the body, let two people in.

"What's the matter?"

Asked Marquis Qin.

Xia Xi told him what happened in the hall just now.

"Warm Pavilion is in that direction, you go quickly, don't let the wind chill."

Xia Xi has just left,

Marquis Qin is not at ease, "forget it, I'll go with you, it's too late."

……

In the warm Pavilion, Fengche dries up the tea, but Xia Xi doesn't come back. She thinks whether she is lost or not, and wants to go out to look for it.

Just stand up, then feel the body strange, mind a Lin, the whole body breath suddenly cold.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, and the back door was opened. Jiang Wan came in with a light step. Seeing Feng Che's face flushed, he knew that the medicine was working. His face was happy, and he called softly, "ah Che!"

The wind Che whole body is suffused with cold idea, "roll!"

His eyes were so terrible that Jiang Wan slowed down and did not dare to step forward again

Feng Che didn't give him a look, suppressed the upsurge in his body, and staggered out.

"Ah Che..."

Jiang wandang pulled down her robe in front of him, revealing her body with only gossamer inside. "Ah Che, you and I were married, so why do you..."

The words didn't finish saying, was pushed by the breeze Che vigorously, the body heavily bumped against the wall.

Without looking at him, Fengche staggered out.

The heat inside the body can't be suppressed. After recognizing the direction, Feng Che staggers towards the palace gate. In the blur of consciousness, I watch Marquis Qin and Xia Xi come and stop.

Marquis Qin and Xia Xi also saw him. They came quickly. Marquis Qin saw that he was not looking right and asked, "Fengche, what's the matter with you?"

"Poof!"

The wind Che vomited out a mouthful of blood.
