Chapter 210 Palace Feast

"Empress Queen, Cher is going to say more for her brother-in-law. My brother-in-law's family was originally from Jiangning Prefecture, Nanjing, and an aunt lived in Chisong Township, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. The two places are thousands of miles apart. Although there are letters, they are not often there. Later, when his brother-in-law's family moved to the capital for some reason and contacted his aunt's family, he accidentally learned that his uncle and aunt were suspected of murder. One would rather die than surrender. He was killed in court, and the other was sentenced to beheading and sentenced. Although the only blood left by his uncle and aunt was recognized two years ago, it is still unknown now. My brother-in-law was dismissed because of this, and he was sent to the Liao and Song border. What's more abominable is that several gates in the capital are very strict and do not allow their sister's family to visit at all. Mother, you are a reasonable person. Do you think your brother-in-law is wronged? Regardless of the murder case, even if it was, my brother-in-law was just a three-year-old child at that time! What's more, when my brother-in-law was my father's guard, I didn't know these things at all.

"Murder? Did he dismiss his official because his relatives killed people?

"Xue'er heard that Ye Zilian said that the case file was suspicious, and the two people who died did not admit to killing in the end. I don't know if it was the county magistrate Hu's judgment that killed two people!"

"Xueer, in front of the Empress Dowager, don't talk nonsense! Please forgive the empress dowager. Xue'er was spoiled at home and spoke in a senseless way, which offended the Empress. She also asked her to be kind and forgive her this time.

The Empress Dowager thought a little and thought that she had been replaced by a civet cat for a prince, was put into the cold palace, and even almost died in the cold palace. If it hadn't been for Qin Feng, Lord Bao and other loyal ministers who wanted to protect her all the way, she would not have been able to do the position of the Empress Dowager today. Therefore, I can still fully understand the injustice that Xue'er just said and Lin Yuqing's experience.

"Just now, Xue'er's girl has been wronged one by one, so according to you, how should this matter be handled?"

"In front of the Empress Dowager's mother, how can this girl speak? Today is to congratulate the Empress Dowager on the New Year. Don't sweep away the Empress's interest. Fight with Mrs. Yu.

"This New Year's joy is not the joy of mourning for one family, but the joy of the people of the Song Dynasty. Now, there is injustice here. How can we make the mourning family accept the joy of the New Year at ease? The Empress Dowager seems to be very interested in this matter.

"If the Empress let Cher say it, Cher will be offended. If Xue'er is in charge, she will not only send someone to investigate the murder case of the family in Chisong Township, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, but also restore Lin Yuqing to work for the court.

"Oh? Xue'er said so, but is she selfish? How can you not work for the imperial court on the border of Liao and Song Dynasties?

"Xue'er is selfish, so she complains about her brother-in-law. However, Xue'er also knows how to understand the general situation and take care of the overall situation. Xue'er heard that Liu Bei looked at the cottage three times, and Cao Cao was the only one who did. To put it bluntly, he knew how to use people and used them according to others. A successful dynasty has always been inseparable from the support of talents. A person with outstanding martial arts like his brother-in-law has let him be an ordinary soldier, which alone buried his talent. Isn't it a big loss to the imperial court?

"Haha!" After listening to Cher's words, the Empress Dowager laughed. I can't see that Xue'er still knows a lot. She knows that for the sake of the court, Bai Yu, you are blessed to have such a good daughter.

"The Empress Dowager is flattered. If there is something wrong with what Xue'er said, please don't blame her. Mrs. Yu pleaded for Xue'er.

"Haha! If everyone in the Song Dynasty is like this, why not worry about it! Come and send Bao Zheng to me. In addition, let's see what the emperor is doing. If you are not busy, please come here.

Success! After persuading the empress dowager, the emperor of benevolence and filial piety is not allowed! Besides, there is no reason not to ignore the shield of grievance. Kill two birds with one stone! Even if it is finally found that Su Qi is the real murderer, Lin Yuqing will no longer be involved, because it was the Empress Dowager who asked the emperor to transfer him back!

Sure enough, everything is expected by everyone. The Empress Dowager recruited Bao Zheng and ordered him to re-Investigate a murder case in Chisong Township, Jinhua, Zhejiang 21 years ago. The emperor also immediately agreed to what the Empress Dowager said, and ordered Lin Yuqing to return to his position and choose a day to go to Beijing.

If possible, Xue'er really wants to plead for Ye Zilian again. She really wants to sue Ke's father and daughter fiercely, and wants to say more for Man Xiu. Unfortunately, she can't do these now. She can only wait and see what happens. I hope that Lin Yuqing's return and Lord Bao's intervention can bring some turning points to things.

Soon, the banquet began. Wine, laughter, dance... are intoxicating. However, Cher is completely immersed in her own world. Man Xiu, how are you? I haven't heard from you for two years! Mu Feng's father and daughter also evaporated from the world overnight. Qi Tianqing said that she would find you when she traveled all over the world. Did she find you first? Are you with her? Even so, it's always okay to report that you are safe!

"Xueer..." Yunxuan looked at Xue'er drinking by herself and knew that she was thinking about repairing again. He immediately pulled her sleeves with heartache and pulled her back to reality.

Cher came to her senses, but found that the empress dowager and the emperor were no longer there. After asking, she learned that the empress dowager had looked at it for a while and felt a little tired and had been accompanied by the emperor to rest.

"Will the emperor come back later? I want to tell my father that I will go back first.

"You girl, as soon as the emperor said, I didn't listen to a word about my feelings."

"What did he say?"

"He said that he must stay here to enjoy singing and dancing and wait for him to come back."

"With so many young ladies, I can't see them without one."

"When you're here, just leave for a while."

"Of course, my sister can be happy now, and my brother-in-law will return to the capital soon..." Xueer wanted to go on, but she felt that there were many people, so she still swallowed the second half of the sentence alive.

"I know what you are thinking, and I'm also worried about him. However, if you are worried, you can't torture yourself like this! When he appears, he will not be happy to see you so haggard, right?

"Miss Du, right? Zou Yanhua, the son of the university scholar of Guanwen Hall, a toast to Miss. At this moment, a strange man interrupted Yunxuan and Xue'er's whisper and toasted Xue'er.

"Thank you. I want to drink it myself." Cher refused the other party without mercy.

"Sir Zou, I'm really sorry. My sister is in a bad mood today. Please forgive me if she offends her words." Yunxuan hurried to the circle next to her.

"Oh? Now the country is prosperous and the people are in peace, and it is a good festival. I don't know why the young lady is in a bad mood?

"Do I have to be in a good mood?"

"Oh! Miss, there is no need to be angry. It may be a mistake in her expression. I just want to ask if I can relieve Miss's worries. Miss Bo smiled.

"Guanwen Hall University Scholar, knowledgeable, advanced and backward, deeply admired by the imperial court. The son of a scholar of Guanwen Hall is frivolous and rude, and he is actually a prodigal son!"

When listening to the first half of the sentence, the other party was still happy on his face, but as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, the prince surnamed Zou could no longer hang on his face. He immediately returned to his seat in frustration, causing a lot of laughter from several princes around him.

"It is said that this young lady of the Du family is not easy to mess with. How dare you go, Brother Zou? It's really brave!"

"I heard that she is ten nine this year, but she is still in the boudoir. I don't know whether she won't marry or can't get married, or she has long been secretly. However, no matter how old she is, I'm afraid it's not Brother Zou! Haha!"

"I heard that she has a close relationship with the Lin family. Isn't she in love with a prince of the Lin family?"

"Brother Wang is talking about the Lin family married by her sister Du Yunxuan? As far as I know, there is only one eldest son in the family, Lin Yuqing. Did the two sisters fall in love with one person at the same time? No wonder today I heard that Du Xueer went to plead with the Empress Dowager to restore Lin Yuqing to her original position. Lin Yuqing is so lucky! However, I don't know if our unforgiving Miss Du is willing to be small!"

The man who spoke felt wet. It turned out that Du Xueer poured a glass of wine on his face.

"You..."

Before the words were finished, I saw Xueer spill another glass of wine. The song and dance suddenly stopped, and the whole hall was surprisingly quiet.

Yunxuan hurried to pull Cher and apologized to the other party repeatedly.

"Sister, there is nothing to apologize for such a person! Make it small? When will it be your turn to judge Du Xueer's affairs?"

"Xue! Today is the emperor's banquet, don't cause trouble!" Lord Du also stood up at this time, trying to calm down. After all, Xue'er splashed wine with Shi Jiangbai, the son of the same three-grade seniority bachelor as herself.

"The ministers of the Holy Banquet? Yeah, which one here doesn't know? Cher looked around and saw that no one answered, so she continued, "No one answered, so you know?" Can anyone tell me that at the palace banquet, he publicly slandered the family of a third-grade official, and his family was so angry that he spilled two glasses of wine on the other party, what should be the crime?

Cher's aggressive momentum makes the other party speechless.

"It's the child's rudeness to treat the child to apologize to Lord Du and Miss Du. As Miss Du said, don't disturb the interest of ten thousand years at today's palace banquet. On another day, Shi will take the child and go to Du's house to plead guilty!"

"Lord Shi doesn't have to be like this. Cher can't afford it. Although this matter is not inferior to the prince, Xue'er has also dealt with it improperly. Please forgive me. In addition, Xue'er is not Lin Xiangru, and the prince is not honest. Why should he plead guilty? If Lord Shi doesn't mind, how about giving up this matter? Cher is very clear about today's occasion. Since Lord Shi, who is a third-grade official, is willing to stand up for her in person, how can she not forgive others? It's just that Shi Jiangbai is cheap. I'll deal with him later when there is a chance!

"Miss Du is very tolerant, and of course she can't ask for it. Jiang Bai, why don't you apologize to Miss Du as soon as possible?

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Shi Jiangbai apologized reluctantly to Du Xueer.

Cher smiled at him and accepted an apology, but no matter how you look at it, Cher's smile was mixed with sneer and ridicule.

Xueer calmly returned to her seat and felt that there were many eyes around her. Xueer ignored it. She just subconsciously looked at Zhou Xinran's seat and saw Zhou Xinran picked up her glass and smiled at her. Is this a smile of appreciation? Disgusting! However, when you don't have enough ability to defeat the other party, the best way is to keep silent and ready to go.

Soon, the song and dance resumed at the suggestion of Pang Taishi. The palace banquet also restored the previous lively atmosphere. But Du Xueer has been famous since then. The court knew that Du Xueer, the daughter of Lord Du, the servant of the Ministry of War, was not easy to provoke, and at the same time, emotional rumors about her also rose. Is Lin Yuqing the person she belongs to?
