Chapter 129 Laba Family Banquet
The guard had just walked into the Jing Garden and found that there was no one there. It was so late, but only Mrs. Jing's bedroom was still lit, so the guard boldly walked over and knocked on the door a few times.

"Madam Jing, have you rested?" He asked tentatively.

After a long while, the door opened, and Mrs. Jing in a white cloak asked lazily, "What's the matter? I just finished reading and am going to rest."

The guard said seriously: "That's it. Just now, I seem to have seen a black figure enter the Jingyuan. I wonder if Madam has noticed any movement or any suspicious person?"

"Heh, are you joking? My lord has sent a lot of people to protect my Jingyuan, so how could there be any shadows?" Mrs. Jing raised the corners of her mouth, looking a little disdainful.

The guard looked to the left and found that there was indeed no abnormality. He had to suspect that maybe he was blinded by a mistake just now, so he bowed his head and apologized: "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Jing, it's the subordinate's blindness, please punish me."

Breaking into Jingyuan rashly is naturally not a small crime, especially now that there is no shadow in sight, the guards will naturally have to plead guilty.

"It's okay, but don't worry, the prince loves me, and you know that there will be no assassins. Of course, it's for the sake of our master that you are more vigilant. Is there any reason to blame you?" Obviously, Mrs. Jing didn't want to put Things go wrong.

"Then I would like to thank Madam for your forgiveness." After finishing speaking, the two guards turned and left.

Looking at their backs, Mrs. Jing's eyes turned and she cursed in a low voice: "Want to fight with me? A bunch of idiots."

Walking out of Jingyuan, another guard blamed: "You, I've already said it, don't ask for Jingyuan. Fortunately, Mrs. Jing is kind-hearted and didn't tell the prince about the trouble, otherwise it would be enough for us to drink a pot, and you are not wrong." You know, last time, two maidservants spoke ill of Mrs. Jing behind their backs, and the prince knew about it, so they dragged them out and beat them to death with sticks."

"I always feel... Mrs. Jing is a bit weird. I can't say exactly what's weird." The guard didn't care about his companion's words, but talked to himself.

"Oh my ancestor, don't scare me, don't talk about Mrs. Jing, okay? I still want to live a little longer." After that, another guard immediately pulled him away from Jingyuan.

This matter was safe and sound. Of course, Mrs. Jing was not so kind. She just didn't want this matter to become a big issue. It would be bad if it alarmed the prince. After all, she was afraid that it would be bad for her to be pursued by Lord Nishinomiya.

A few days later, when we arrived in Laba, the weather was extremely cold, and the piercing north wind howled from time to time. Fortunately, the people in Bianjing were used to this cold weather, but Ye Anran, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, was wronged.

Yangzhou is located in the south, and the four seasons are like spring. Naturally, he has never experienced such severe cold days. When it was extremely cold, Ye Anran couldn't stand it, so he had to ask Xiaorong to add a few heaters, but I don't know that it is a utility room Deliberately embarrassing, or what, saying that the heater was taken away by Mrs. Jing, and there is no more.

Xiao Rong came back angrily and muttered: "What's the matter, isn't she from the north? Isn't it colder in Jinzhou? Why is she so unbearable to freeze, she took away the heater, I don't know if it was on purpose?"

"Xiao Rong, what's the matter?" Seeing Xiao Rong's sad face, Ye Anran asked with a smile.

"Princess and master, I'm sorry, the slaves didn't get the heater, and Madam Jing said they took it away from the utility room. It's really annoying. She is from the north, so she shouldn't be so afraid of the cold." Xiao Rong didn't forget to complain.

"Forget it, if it's gone, it's gone, how many do we have left?" Ye Anran asked.

Xiao Rong did some calculations, and replied: "One was accidentally broken by Xiao Guang yesterday, and now there are six more, princess and master, can you bear it, otherwise, the servant girl will go to the eldest lady to ask for a few, she is Imperial concubine, it is naturally easier to get some in the palace."

"No, don't embarrass my sister. It's fine if I don't have it. I can hold on, and the winter won't be very long. By the way, you can take one to Qingqianyuan and add it to Qingqianyuan. Qingqian's health is not good, I'm afraid I can't bear it even more." Cold day." Ye Anran instructed.

Xiao Rong's eyes widened: "What? My lord, are you crazy? We are almost frozen to death, and you still want to give it away? Is your servant heard right?"

"Xiao Rong, the current situation is special. Qingqian is a patient, so naturally he needs more heaters. Now Mrs. Jing has taken away all the heaters in the utility room. I am afraid that her Qingqian Garden will not be able to get heaters. Listen to me If so, go?" Ye Anran was more thoughtful.

In fact, this is also the case. There are only four heaters left on Qingqian's side, and it is even more deserted...

Qingqian Garden's servants are almost gone, so naturally whoever has status can follow any master. Everyone thinks that Qingqian may not be able to last until next winter.

So no one pays attention to her or pays attention to her. At this moment, only Ye Anran still thinks about her.

Ye Anran insisted on giving it away, but in the end Xiao Rong had no choice but to go to Qingqian Garden reluctantly with a stove in hand.

At this time, Xiao Guang braved the snow and came in to report: "My lord, my lord has asked you to gather in the front hall."

"Did you say what's the matter?" Ye Anran has always been unwilling to deal with Jue Xigong, so every time before going, he would ask what's going on, so that he can have a clear idea.

"Today is Laba, and the prince asked the kitchen to make a lot of Laba porridge. It was originally intended to be eaten in Jing Yuan. Later, it seemed that Mrs. Jing said that everyone had a good time together, so the prince notified the princess and the master, and went with a few girls." Xiao Xiao Light said without any concealment.

"Well, I understand. I'll tidy up and I'll be there right away." Ye Anran got up and tidied up her clothes, put on a snow-white fur and went to the front hall.

Looking at the snowflakes outside, she was always full of emotions. She has been in the palace for more than half a year, and it is already Laba. December in Yangzhou may not be so beautiful, but it is not so cold either.

When Ye Anran arrived, Song Siyan and Xiang Yi had already arrived. Seeing Ye Anran coming, Mrs. Jing immediately got up and walked over to help Ye Anran: "Sister Wangfei, you are here, everyone is waiting for you."

"En." Ye Anran nodded, took off the fur and sat down at the table.

"Since everyone is here, let's start the dishes. Today is Laba, everyone should drink more Laba porridge." It was rare for Xi Gongjue to speak coldly, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Ye Anran didn't speak, just drank the Laba porridge on her own, ignoring the deep affection between Mrs. Jing and the prince.

"Jing'er, why do you always wear this dress, where is the brocade that was given to you last time?" At some point, Xi Gongjue suddenly stared at Mrs. Jing's clothes and asked.

"Ah, my concubine doesn't like to make too many clothes. It's a pity that so many brocades are wasted, so I wear them as much as I can." Mrs. Jing smiled secretly.

"No, you are the wife of this king, how can you dress so plainly, take out the material later, and make some more winter clothes." Xi Gongjue ordered forcefully.

Hearing what Xi Gongjue said, Mrs. Jing immediately fell to her knees: "My lord, this concubine is guilty."

"Jing'er, what's the matter? Get up and talk?" Nishinomiya was taken aback, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and lifted Mrs. Jing who was kneeling on the ground with one hand.

"My lord, this concubine gave those materials... to all my sisters. I thought to myself, this concubine comes from a weak background, unlike the concubine's sister, who has a big family and a big business. Naturally, I don't have any good things to offer, but I also wanted to get along better with all my sisters, so I gave away those materials, please punish me." Mrs. Jing lowered her head, like a child who has done something wrong.

Nishinomiya frowned slightly, and asked, "Who did it all go to?"

Mrs. Jing didn't answer, because she knew at this moment, whoever was named, might be unlucky.

"En? Jing'er, why didn't you answer me?" Xi Gongjue asked again.

Mrs. Jing cried aggrievedly: "My lord, don't ask, if you want to punish, just punish the concubine alone. The sisters are all innocent."

"Innocent? Who is innocent? This king really wants to see those so-called innocent people, Ye Anran... have you taken it?" Every time there is any trouble, Nishinomiya always thinks of Ye Anran first.I don't know if she is too unlucky, or Nishinomiya Jue likes to find fault too much.

Because he always thought that Ye Anran was the princess, so he could easily bully Mrs. Jing...

Ye Anran was startled, then slowly said: "Without me."

At this time, Song Siyan and Xiangyi knelt down on the ground: "Master, I know I was wrong."

It's unlucky to say, the last time the prince gave good material to Madam Jing, Madam Jing then sent a few horses to Song Siyan and Xiangyi, they thought Madam Jing was just trying to curry favor with themselves, so naturally they happily accepted it. Knowing that there will be today's disaster, if I knew it earlier, I would not accept it even if I was beaten to death.

Otherwise, don't be greedy. At that time, Mrs. Jing specially chose the best piece of material and gave it to Ye Anran. Unfortunately, Ye Anran didn't accept it at all, but sent it back, and she sent it to Sima Qingqian. He was sent back, but in the end, helpless, he gave it to his maids, just to show his diligence and thrift.

"Oh, it turned out that you two took Jing'er's things. Remember, this is the first and last time. After so many years, in the palace, do you still lack your food and clothing? En?" Xi Gongjue looked coldly. With Xiangyi and Song Siyan.

"If you go back to the master, no, the servant has been doing well." Song Siyan said tremblingly.

"That's weird, who gave you such a habit of always accepting gifts from others?" Xi Gongjue stared at the two of them fiercely.

Mrs. Jing immediately interjected: "My lord, don't blame the two elder sisters, if you want to blame, you can blame me. It was I who made the initiative and gave them the materials."

"Jing'er, you are so stupid, why did you give away your things in good condition? You are not allowed to do this in the future." Jue Xigong pulled Mrs. Jing distressedly, and threw himself into his arms.

Then he glanced at Song Siyan and Xiangyi who were kneeling on the ground and said, "You two, get out immediately, I don't want to see you."

"Yes." The two replied in unison and stepped back.

Seeing this, Ye Anran also got up, and wanted to leave quietly, but was stopped by Xi Gongjue: "Where are you going?"

"The concubine also wants to resign first, so as not to disturb the good time of the prince and Mrs. Jing." Indeed, this is not jealousy, Ye Anran really does not want to hinder the love of others here.

It's a pity that Xi Gongjue is always not as good as she wanted, he pulled Ye Anran and hugged him tightly.

For a moment, there was Ye Anran on one side and Mrs. Jing on the other, it could be said that they hugged from left to right.

"My lord, don't do this." Ye Anran tried to break free.

Jue Nishinomiya looked at her shy look with more interest, and taunted: "No way? I haven't seen or touched you. What kind of saint are you pretending to be now?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Anran's cheeks blushed immediately, and a faint anger rose in her heart.

"My lord, please let go of my concubine." Ye Anran warned again.

"My lord is not, you are all my lord's women, you can do whatever you want, don't you think so? Jing'er?" Said Xi Gongjue, kissing Mrs. Jing's forehead like a dragonfly.

Mrs. Jing smiled back, but when she saw that Xi Gongjue was also holding Ye Anran, she felt jealous.

"If the prince is like this, the concubine will not be polite." Ye Anran issued an ultimatum.

"Haha, you're welcome? What else can you do?" For Ye Anran, Jue Nishimiya was so easy to catch, he just thought it was a game of praying mantis and catching cicada for fun.
