Just as Aunt Zeng said, you should not be too willful when you are a member of the National People's Congress. After Yan Huo and Fu Zhixing said a few words, they came out of the study with him. She was the master and could not be too careless about other guests.

As soon as the two returned to the living room of Yinianyuan, Yan Tong'an came. He was here to send a birthday gift to Yan Hu, "Twelve sister, this is the gift your second sister-in-law prepared for you."

Yan Huo opened the small brocade box, and there were bracelets made of golden lotus flowers the size of his finger, which were exquisite and unique. "So beautiful!" He turned around and handed the bracelet to Fu Zhixing, "Cousin Fu, please wear it for me."

Fu Zhixing helped her put on the bracelet, Yan Hu raised his hand and asked, "Is it good-looking?"

"It looks good." Fu Zhixing nodded with a smile.

Yan Huo turned around and smiled at Yan Tong'an, "Thank you for your second brother and second sister-in-law."

Yan Tongan touched her head, "Xiao Fuxing, don't be so polite."

"Second brother, you can't be more favorable than one. You will also give gifts when our sisters' birthdays." Yan Xiang said with a smile.

Ma once told Yan Tongan that this sixth sister was not right and his wife had no need to say bad things about her sister-in-law in the next room. Yan Tongan naturally believed what his wife said, so he did not answer Yan Xiang's words. He smiled and said to Yan Huo: "Twelve Sister, the gift has been delivered. I should go back and tell you the second sister-in-law."

"Second brother, walk slowly." Yan Huo smiled.

After seeing Yan Tong'an off, Yan Tongzhu greeted: "Criminal, Wujiu, Brother Zhang, Ze, Xiang Ming, everyone went to the front yard to have a drink."

Fu Zhixing, Tang Wei and others followed Yan Tongzhu. After all, this place was an inner courtyard and a place where girls gathered.

After watching Tang Jian leave, Yu Fangfei deliberately walked to Yan Xiang and whispered: "It's extremely stupid, I can't overestimate my ability." If you want to treat him the same as Yan Hu, you don't think about your identity.

Yan Xiang was angry and wanted to fight back, but saw Yu Fangfei walking towards Yan Hu, "Twelve Sister, this is my birthday gift for you, I hope you like it."

The gift Yu Fangfei gave to Yan Huo was a table screen of flowers, plants, butterflies embroidered by her own embroidered, with a poem embroidered on it: The corridor of the courtyard is getting west, and the scenes are both full of thoughts and shadows. The spring breeze loves leisurely flowers, but the butterflies have never chosen a tree to live on.

"I like it very much, thank you Sister Yu." Yan Huo accepted the gift.

The sisters all gave gifts, but Yan Xiang said, "There are a bunch of good things in the warehouse of the twelve sisters. If I can't buy good things for the little money I have for the monthly money, I won't give them."

The Yan sisters and the Wei sisters knew that Yan Xiang and Yan Huo had a quarrel, and they were not surprised that Yan Xiang would not give gifts; while Yan Zhi, who could control Yan Xiang, had to serve him at home because her mother-in-law was sick. Yan Rong was the youngest son who was sick, so she stayed at home; Yan Qi and Yan Wei followed their husbands to be officials, but they sent them to Yan Huo for birthday gifts.

The straightforward Qiao Huai-chung didn't know the inside story, "This gift is about the heart and not the value. Gift is light and affection is important, right? Xiaoxiao?"

Yan Huo smiled and said, "Yes, if you want to accept it, you have to accept a gift with affection." The implication is that the gift given by Yan Xiang is unkind. Even if she is willing to give it, Yan Huo will not accept it.

"Xiaoxiao, is there any affection for my gift?" Princess Heyi came over and asked.

Yan Huo smiled and said, "I will treat you as a treasure when you send a goose feather. Do you think you have any affection?"

"Yes, there are so many," Princess Heyi said with a smile.

It was noon when the maids brought the wine and food in. When Yan Xiang saw the dishes on the table, he spoke sour again, "After all, it's the twelve sisters. The table is so rich."

Isn't the words mean that the people in the kitchen are coquetting Yanhu, hoping that everyone is jealous of Yanhu. Yanhu looked at Yanxi and smiled, "I know that the sixth sister is frugal and loves to eat pickles and radishes. But today is my birthday banquet after all, so many guests have come. I also asked the sixth sister to take care of it, so the host will follow the guests."

Princess Heyi widened her eyes and shouted, "There are still people who don't like to eat meat, pickles and radishes. Miss Yan Liu, are you mentally fine?"

If it weren't for the identity of Princess Heyi, Yan Xiang would have turned against him on the spot. Yan Xiang couldn't do anything to Princess Heyi, so he could only use his eyes to scoop Yan Hae; Yan Hae ignored her and greeted everyone, "Do you want to drink some fruit wine?"

Princess Heyi and Qiao Huai-chung responded at the same time, "You want to drink."

Yan Huo asked Almond to take four pots of fruit wine, one pot on a table, and Princess Heyi was dissatisfied, "Just one pot, it's not enough for me to drink it alone."

"Don't you know what kind of alcohol you can drink? I'm so embarrassed to praise this Haikou. I'll be drunk and go crazy when I get drunk. I'll sober you up in the pond." Yan Huo threatened her.

"Xiaoxiao, why do you like throwing people into the pond like your sixth brother?" Qiao Huaicheng asked curiously.

Yan Huo smiled, "Sister Qiao, is my sixth brother so unkind? He actually wants to throw you into the pond."

"Yes, yes, it's so unkind." Qiao Huaicheng said with a pout.

"Beat him." Princess Heyi said with a fist.

Qiao Huai-chul pouted, "I can't beat it up."

Yan Huo asked curiously: "Have you beaten?"

Qiao Huai-chung thought for a while, and turned his head, "I won't tell you."

"Don't do this, tell me." Yan Huo said in a sweet voice.

"Don't say, don't say, don't say." Qiao Huai-seeded a pot of fruit wine, "Come on, let's raise our glasses to wish Xiaoxiao a happy birthday!"

Except for Yan Xiang, everyone raised their cups, "I wish Xiaoxiao a happy birthday and everything goes well."

"Thank you, thank you." Yan Hae was drinking tea. She didn't want to sleep drunk at the birthday party, which was rude.

After arriving at the wine, Yan Rui smiled and said, "It's boring to sit elegantly, so it's better for us to do the orders and enjoy it."

"The orders can be executed, but they have to be simple, too complicated, and there are poetry, I don't know." Princess Heyi immediately made her position.

Yan Rui was very interested in poetry and wanted to write poetry or lyrics. When Princess Heyi said this, she felt embarrassed to say what to do.

Yu Qingqing whispered: "If you want to read more poems, you just refuse. Now you are afraid."

Princess Heyi played with her tongue.

"You can make a fist, this is simple." Qiao Huaicheng suggested.

Yan Rui frowned, "This is too vulgar."

Yu Fangfei smiled and said, "It's better to play with the numbers. If you knock on the bowl for seven times, the wrong person will be punished with a glass of wine, and then tell jokes, recite poems to celebrate birthdays, or sing songs, how about it?"

"Yes, this one is OK." Everyone said.

"Then start with the birthday star, go around from the left to the right, twelve sisters, you can count, you don't need to start from the beginning." Yan Rui smiled.

Yan Hu's eyes turned, "Then it's nine, long and long."

Sitting on her left was Princess Heyi, and she shouted: "Ten."

At fourteen o'clock, Wei Liniang said "Fourteen" while knocking on the bowl with chopsticks.

"If you have a wrong order, if you have a wrong order, you will be punished first." Yan Rui said in a hurry.

Wei Liniang drank wine happily, "I can't recite poems and I can't sing small songs, so I'll tell a joke." Wei Liniang thought for a while, "There is an old man with both wealth and honor, and his children are full of grandchildren. On his 100th birthday, the guests who celebrated the birthday were crowded with the house, but the old man was very unhappy. Everyone asked him: 'You are so blessed, what else can you worry about?' The old man replied: 'I don't have anything to worry about. I'm worried that when I celebrate my 200th birthday, the people who come to congratulate me will increase by hundreds or thousands. How can I remember them one by one?"

This joke is not funny, but the meaning is good. This is to pray that Yanhu can live a hundred years old. Everyone laughed and continued to move. However, this number is still a little deserted when playing. Soon, Qiao Huai-seong and Wei Liniang got together to punch each other.

Princess Heyi pulled Yu Qingqing to play with the sticks and tiger chicken. The hall was booming and very lively. Yu Fangfei quietly got up and left the table. Everyone else had fun. She didn't notice her. Only Yan Xiang, who had been staring at her, found out, and Yan Xiang followed her out.

Yu Fangfei did not take her maid. She left Yinianyuan and walked towards a remote place in vain. Yan Xiang also followed behind. Yu Fangfei arrived near a pink wall separated by the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard. She stood behind a bunch of bamboos. Yan Xiang was afraid that she would not dare to get too close to her, so she hid behind an elm tree and stared at her.

Not long after, Yan Xiang saw someone coming. When she saw the person clearly, she covered her mouth and did not exclaim. The one who came was Tang Wei, the prince of the King of Chu. He walked towards Yu Fangfei. Yu Fangfei looked happy and shouted softly, "Criminal."

Yan Xiang saw Yu Fangfei pounce into Tang Wei's arms, his eyes widened even more, and they had already reached this point! But after all, there was a distance, and Yan Xiang couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, and occasionally one or two words floated over, "...I want to...I think so much." This is what Yu Fangfei said.

"...I think...I have a lot of things...My mother...I go in once..." This is Tang Jian's answer.

Yu Fangfei said again: "...thinking... satisfied... stay with me..."

"The Qiao family... Tongliang..." Tang Xuan asked.

"...consensus...will...the prince...as long as...I am willing." Yu Fangfei looked a little sad.

"I feel wronged... I love..." Tang Jian comforted her.

After the two of them hugged each other, Tang Qian left first. Yu Fangfei watched him obsessively until he could not see his back, he came out of the bamboo bushes and returned along the same route. Yan Xiang waited for her to pass and coughed a few times.

Yu Fangfei was startled and shouted loudly, "Who? Where is who? Come out."

Yan Xiang walked out from behind the tree, Yu Fangfei narrowed her eyes, "Yan Liu, why are you here? Follow me."

Yan Xiang sneered: "The lady from the scholarly family actually had a secret meeting with a man."

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you." Yu Fangfei said coldly.

"Don't forget that you live in the Yan family. My surname is Yan, why has nothing to do with me?" Yan Xiang walked slowly to her, "A orphan girl who lives restlessly, but wants to cling to the prince of the royal family. Should I say that your courage is commendable, or do you overestimate your ability?"

Yu Fangfei snorted and said, "We are each other."

Yan Xiang sneered, "Yu Fangfei, you look down on yourself too much. What do you have to do with me? I am the Miss Yan family, my grandfather is the Grand Tutor, and my father's official rank is not high, but I am also an official daughter. What about you, an orphan who has no father or mother, and no foundation."

"I have no father or mother, no foundation, but because I have no father or mother, no foundation, I can be without any scruples. And you, because you are the Yan family, are impossible, stupid." Yu Fangfei turned around and left.

Yan Xiang was stunned for a moment before he understood what Yu Fangfei meant; an orphan girl was a concubine for the prince of the royal family, which was a good way for many people; but the daughter of the Yan family could not be a concubine, even if she was born in a polite family, the Yan family could not afford to lose that face.

Yan Xiang spat hard in the direction of Yu Fangfei's departure, "I'm not as naughty as you, I can't be a concubine, I must be his legitimate wife whom he is a famous matchmaker."

Yu Fangfei and Yan Xiang returned to the living room of Yi Nianyuan one after another. Everyone was having fun, but no one noticed that the two went out and came back.

After Yanhu's birthday, it rained three or four times in succession, and the weather became colder. On the day of the Qingyuan Festival, a bad news came to Beijing. The carriage that Princess Yijia was riding was frightened and fell into the river. Because it was raining, it was inconvenient to salvage. The carriage had been soaked in the river for a day and a night, and there was very little chance that Princess Yijia would survive.

After learning about it, the King of Chu said angrily: "This is a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy against our King of Chu's mansion." How could the horse, protected by the guards, be frightened?

"I found out that Yi Jia used the little eunuch around Tang Li to deliver a letter to Yan Tongzhu and coaxed Yan Tongzhu to Wanchun Garden. Unfortunately, the matter she planned was not successful." Tang Wei didn't care about Princess Yi Jia's life and death, especially after finding out that Princess Yi Jia wanted to use Yan Tongzhu to destroy her innocence and stay in the capital, but failed, he wanted to strangle her to death. Even if this matter was successful, the Yan family was afraid that he would hate the Chu Palace even more. He worked hard, but he was afraid that he would not win over her.

The King of Chu frowned, "You mean that Yijia offended Tang Li, and Tang Li would attack Yijia."

"Is it because Tang Li's people took action? You have to check it out. Because Yi Jia used some people and exposed them, we have lost several of the eyeliners we inserted into the East Palace." Tang Wei said in a deep voice.

The King of Chu looked embarrassed, and he was the one who agreed to Princess Yijia to use the eyeliner on the East Palace. He didn't expect Princess Yijia to be so bold. He coughed lightly and said, "I have to go to the place where the incident happened." The older the emperor was, the more concerned about family affection. The King of Chu could only cooperate to play the role of a kind father, so that he could win the favor of the emperor.

"My father brings more people to avoid the East Palace being crazy and attacking you." Tang Hui said with concern that the King of Chu is the key to seizing the throne. If the King of Chu is gone, he will not be qualified to seize the throne.

The King of Chu touched his chin and said, "If the Eastern Palace dares to take action, it will be a good thing. We can take the opportunity to move the Eastern Palace down."

"Father, be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship. There is no need to take this risk by using your body as bait." Tang Jian advised.

"Okay, then bring more people to avoid the East Palace's chance." The King of Chu followed Tang Zhi's advice.

The life and death of Princess Yijia and whether the King of Chu left Beijing have nothing to do with the female family of the Yan family. They didn’t care. In order to avoid Princess Yijia’s funeral, Old Lady Yan asked Mrs. Yan to send someone to clean up the hot spring village near Shunjing County.

Mrs. Yan smiled, "I have been saying that I want to go to the hot springs. I have been talking for two or three years, but I haven't been able to do it. This year, I have to go there no matter what I live in for half a month and have a good bathing in the hot springs."

Just after Mrs. Yan decided, the sun was on the rise for two consecutive days and the temperature also rose. Mrs. Yan, accompanied by Mrs. Yan, the third wife of Yan, Princess Nanping and Mrs. Yan Wu, took nine granddaughters and a group of maids under the escort of Mr. Yan Wu and his entourage, and set off for Shunjing County.

The reason why Yu Fangfei was unable to accompany her was that she suddenly had a first menstruation the night before departure. Mrs. Yan asked her to stay at home to recuperate and asked Mrs. Yan to take good care of her.
