Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C217

Before the Empress had gotten married, although she had not left the Chuanyu, the boundaries of the Chuanyu were so huge. What she saw and heard could not be compared to the emperor who had lived in the palace since childhood.

And on the affairs of the people, the young miss of the General’s Estate had followed the warriors of the Chuanyu to plow the fields and dig the canals with the water. She had done all sorts of jobs before and the emperor was even less knowledgeable than her.

Xiang Run forgot about his Baisha County at the moment and listened to Siyan’s description of the local people with great interest. He said that the strange things that had happened at their place, in Siyan’s opinion, was not strange for the common folk to hear about the gods and ghosts.

“Reverence towards ghosts and gods can be used to restrain and pacify some people. Naturally, excessive superstition is undesirable.” Siyan said, “Even your majesty needs to open an altar to worship the heavens every now and then. Don’t you have any thoughts in your mind that I hope to be blessed by the gods?”

Xiang Run nodded his head: “We understand what you mean. We are not investigating about Baisha County, we just feel that it’s strange, and since they’re safe and sound, then it’s for the best.”

Siyan laughed: “If Your Majesty is free, why don’t you visit every corner of the country. You don’t even know what your country is like, how can you govern it better?”

Xiang Run took the paper roll away from him and held his wife’s hand: “After the fifteenth day of the first month, we will bring you back to Chuanyu and call your brother back as well. This will be a joyous occasion for the people there, and will also make you happy for their great general. “I’ve always said that I would take you home to save your parents, and now that even your brother has been moved to the coast by me, the matter of saving your parents is becoming increasingly unreliable.”

Siyan was so overjoyed that she stood up and bowed, “On behalf of big brother, I thank Your Majesty for your grace.”

The Emperor took this opportunity and pulled her into his embrace as he smiled: “Let’s go walk around the city. There’s Uncle Huang and Shen Yun here in the capital, so I don’t need to worry.”

Siyan said, “Your majesty is even more carefree than royal father and mother.

Xiang Run thought for a moment, then laughed: “Let’s turn around and run.”

The Emperor didn’t go into depth into the matter of Baisha County. He only reminded the Emperor that this place had once suffered from a snowstorm in the winter, and had to be extra careful. The young people of Zhixian were determined to protect the people. Naturally, they had been preparing for disaster since a long time ago.

New Year’s Eve was approaching, and lanterns and decorations were being set up everywhere within the Daqi realm in preparation to leave for the new year.

Susu said that in the past few years that she had come, this was the first time she saw an inn that had ‘Blessed’ pasted on windows during New Year’s. This year, all her habits and habits had changed with just a single sentence from the Xiaowan.

In front of the tavern, the father and son duo were arguing. Little Pei insisted on pasting his sloppy calligraphy on the door, but if Ling Chaofeng didn’t agree to it, the little guy would immediately come and call for reinforcements. If Xiaowan wanted to paste her son’s calligraphy on the door, Ling Chaofeng could only do it.

The New Year goods that was prepared for Ershan in the capital had already been sent over by someone else long ago. The New Year goods that his family had prepared for him had all been piled up full of food.

Last year, at this moment, Ling Chaofeng suddenly became inexplicably sick, which caused them to be extremely frightened. How could they have imagined that a year later, they would be married, and they would even be pregnant.

Thus, the next morning, he got the Uncle Biao to drive the carriage and brought Little Pei and Susu to the town’s god temple to thank the god for the Buddha. Seeing that the temple was flourishing with incense, Little Pei suddenly remembered something.

So that night, while his family were asleep, he went to the kitchen, took an elbow, a plate of roast geese, and a large bundle of sausage bacon and a jug of wine, and made his way to the Underworld.

Next to the River of Forgetfulness, an old man and a young man sat side by side. Old Master Yama ate and drank, feeling really bad.

He happily said to Ling Pei, “It is rare for people to think about me. Every New Year’s Eve, my heart is filled with grievance.” Everyone is a deity, and no one has ever worshiped me. Look at the Kitchen King, he’s called ‘nourishing’. I still want to go to his place in a few days’ time to get some incense from him. ”

Little Pei said: “You are in charge of the Underworld, mortals only seek benefits from the real world, and the matters of the real world have not been clarified. Who would care about the matters of the dead, it is not strange for them not to remember you. Then again, if the wicked worship you, and ask you to open up to me in the future, should you? ”

Old Master Yama laughed out loud. “This little guy has such deep wisdom, making me feel comfortable listening to you. Speaking of which, when will you be able to ascend to the sky and return to your position, Xiaolong Sun? As a little fatty in the mortal world, wouldn’t you feel aggrieved? ”

Little Pei laughed: “There is nothing more interesting than being a person. My father likes being a person so much, I like it too.”

Old Master Yama said, “If your father were to achieve perfection in this life, and your father returns to the Heavenly Court, where would your mother be?”

Little Pei stared blankly, then said: “Is this the end of this lifetime’s marriage?”

“If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.” Little Pei said, “My mother is just a flower.”

“Look at me, I’ve made you unhappy.” The Old Master Yama said, “I ate your food and wine, so I should thank you. Xiaolong Sun, you came to find me, you can’t possibly have the kind intentions to come visit me, right?”

Little Pei then said: “This junior wishes for you to help me look at the Book of Life and Death, and see how old Madam Xu is. My mother told her father to send over the wicked woman as soon as possible, I’m worried that there might be a reward for her.”

Yama laughed, “Don’t worry. As long as the higher-ups don’t cause any trouble, nothing can go wrong. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Little Pei was overjoyed, and promised to send more food to the Yama in a few days, before returning to the ground happily.

The next morning, Uncle Biao said that there were too few dishes and wine in the kitchen, but there were no traces of thieves at the inn, nor any footprints left behind by wild wolves.

Uncle Biao said he definitely remembered correctly, and said angrily that if he caught the thief who stole the food and wine, he would definitely give him a good beating.

Little Pei unconsciously covered his butt and quickly ran off.

In the capital, the Lang Zhong Manor was also decorated with lanterns and decorations. Although the little grandson’s house was small, the Old Madem was very open and happy to stay here. Furthermore, he ordered her eldest grandson to tell the people of the Bi Family Clan that there was no need to disturb her at the middle age of the new year. As for whether or not they would go to the Prime Minister’s Estate, she did not care.

The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi had originally been grounded for two years, but this time, he was brought back home by Bi Zhenye, so he was naturally sent back to his home.

On New Year’s Eve, both Ershan and Bi Zhenye received the Emperor’s grace to allow them to enter the palace for the feast. Their official positions were both only at the fifth rank, if it were other people, they might not have the honor.

During the New Year’s Eve banquet, Lian Yi and the Old Madem were invited by the Empress Dowager and Queen to talk. When the other noble officials saw this scene, they knew that the Bi’s Mansion was still there, and were a little more polite to Bi Zhenye and Ling Yu.

Since he was young, Bi Zhenye followed his father around the government and knew more people than Ershan. Whenever he had the chance, his brother would lead his younger brother to meet people who knew him.

As for the two youths, their appearances were handsome and handsome. They naturally attracted the attention of others wherever they went.

On this side, the aristocratic ladies gathered together. The girls looked at the scene in the seats and whispered amongst themselves.

Shen Qing had just returned from the rear hall and wanted to eat a few dishes before going to Empress Dowager to accompany his. Just as she sat down, he heard a few others speaking beside his, “My uncle went to the Prime Minister’s Estate to propose marriage, but unfortunately, there were too many Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi at that time, and he didn’t put anyone in his eyes at all. But now, with so many lawsuits going on in their family, even if they were to bring an eight carriers palanquin chair, my uncle would not be willing to marry his daughter. ”

“You can’t put it like that either. Bi Hanxi is the Empress’s sister-in-law now. I heard that even if her mother was in Siping Mansion, she wouldn’t need to work hard anymore. It seems like it will only be a matter of time before she is pardoned and brought back. ”

“This family is truly rare. Even with them like this, those two brothers can still live in harmony with each other.” “My family’s brothers and sisters, for the sake of our father’s peace, we were on the verge of a fight.”

Shen Qing ate a few mouthfuls of food silently before putting down her chopsticks. She stood up and left, the bystanders bowed, and under the crowd of Palace Maid, she arrived at Empress Dowager’s side. At the moment, both Old Madem Bi and Madam Ling were still there, and Old Madem Bi said to Empress Dowager, “Today, my granddaughter is going to be blessed to be able to marry the general.

Empress Dowager laughed: “After you enter the palace and walk around, now that you are relatives of the empress, you are like family.” She said to Siyan, “That sister-in-law of yours left home with your brother. After this, the empress will help you take care of your family’s matters.”

Siyan smiled, “Grandson will remember.”

Empress Dowager continued: “Oh right, old lady, is your eldest grandson not married yet?”

The Old Madem hurriedly said, “Before, that child wholeheartedly wanted to become the top scorer, but now he is going to represent the Emperor. I have talked to him about the matter of marriage several times, but he said that he was too busy and did not have time.”

The Empress Dowager laughed: “Young children nowadays are always like this. They are very stubborn. I’ll make the empress pay attention to this matter. Don’t worry, when spring begins, there will definitely be a happy occasion. ”

Old Madem was overjoyed. He pulled Lian Yi along and kowtowed to Empress Dowager and the Queen, then ordered Shen Qing to help the old lady up.

Siyan sat at the side and saw Little Qing smiling gently at the Old Madem. She remembered what happened before, at that time, in order to prevent Bi Hanxi from marrying into the Xiluo, Little Qing had went around everywhere.

The Empress shifted her gaze away and searched for Bi Zhenye’s traces below. Sure enough, he was sitting in the seating area, her gaze was looking in this direction, and it was unknown if it was because she was worried about her grandmother and sister-in-law, or was looking at someone else. The Empress looked at him for a long time, but Bi Zhenye was unable to detect anything.

After that, Old Madem and Lian Yi left, and it was another family’s young mistress’ turn to speak. Shen Qing was still waiting by her aunt’s side, and the empress’s gaze once again landed on Bi Zhenye, meeting him again.

The empress picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. This wasn’t something that could be easily done.
