Chapter 455 Traffic jam
Chapter 455 Traffic jam
It was obviously a New Year's Eve palace banquet held to ward off evil spirits and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. However, due to the ice on the road that night, several carriages overturned.
At the beginning of the new year, there were bloodstains everywhere on the main streets of the capital. Many of the ministers who left the palace fell into despair, and even lost their lives.
The carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion was also blocked on the main street of the capital for this reason.
If it were normal times, I'm afraid there would have been a commotion already. Everyone was extremely tired today and they didn't dare to say anything even if they had complaints. Only the faint sound of children crying could be heard from all directions.
It was bitterly cold this year, so the emperor only showed his face at the palace banquet, and no one dared to leave early for fear that he would come back during the fireworks. Who knew that the emperor would never show up again.
After working hard all night, no matter how plentiful the charcoal fire was, many people still suffered from headaches due to the wind.
As time passed, everyone lost their patience and energy.
Jin Yan got off the carriage and walked to the one in front. Then she opened the curtain and saw Su Xihe, whose face turned pale. She hurriedly handed over the soup lady in her hand, "I guess it will take a while."
"I have it."
Su Xihe raised his hand, and Jin Yan got on the carriage and insisted on sending hers over.
"They just sent it again. It's been so long. I'm afraid the one in my hand is no longer warm."
After hearing what she said, Su Xihe reached out and took it.
"Even if I can move in a while, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. Why don't we go back first."
Jin Yan suggested.
Everyone looked startled and looked at each other. Finally, Su Xihe said, "That's okay. Leave the driver here and we'll just walk back through the alley."
"Alright."
Everyone knew in their hearts that a life had been lost in front of them, and Qi Xuan and Ren Wushuang's people were dealing with it, but there were too many people coming and the queue was too long, and it was difficult for them to show off the Jinwang Mansion and let people get out of the way.
If Prince Jin's Mansion gets involved, the other Prime Minister's Mansion and Shangshu Mansion will probably follow, and the situation will only become more chaotic.
At this time, someone from the Shangshu Mansion came and asked if he wanted to be escorted by the imperial guards to leave first.
Rejected by Jin Yuchuan.
The other party wanted to say something more, but he swallowed it all when he saw Jin Yuchuan's expression.
"My lord, what is this?"
Ren Wuyang rushed over with panic and embarrassment on his face.
Jin Yuchuan said what he meant, and he was startled. This was undoubtedly the best way, but it was really unreasonable to let the noble prince and his family walk on the ground, and the snow in the alley had not been swept away. It's to embarrass them.
"Master Ren, there is no need to be embarrassed. I am feeling bored in the carriage and would like to have some fresh air."
Su Xihe said softly, with a slight smile on her lips.
Ren Wuyang's tense expression relaxed for a moment, he took a deep look at them, took a step back, and bowed.
"I'm really sorry. Today is all my fault."
"There is no need to blame yourself, adults. No one expected what happened today."
Jin An patted him on the shoulder, then went to look at Jin Yan, "Let's go."
Jin Yuchuan suddenly squatted in front of Su Xihe. She blinked and was stunned, then smiled.
It was very natural to cling to his shoulders. Jin Yuchuan easily carried Su Xihe on his back. Jinran helped adjust Su Xihe's cloak and put on his hat to protect it tightly.
Jin'an and Jinran looked at each other, and both of them looked at Jinyan with burning eyes.
"Yanyan, come up."
Jin An was the first to say something, and Jin Ran pursed his lips, "How about I do it? I am a martial arts practitioner after all."
"I also practice martial arts."
Jin Yan silently took a step back and said in a low voice, "I want to see the master. The eldest and second brothers should go with their parents first."
Jin Yuchuan had already taken a few steps when he suddenly looked back with an expression of disapproval.
Su Xihe smiled and patted his shoulder, "Let her go."
After she spoke, neither Jin'an nor Jinran fought for each other. One of them said a few words before leaving with them.
Ren Wuyan followed the Jin family with his eyes, then lowered his head to look at Jin Yan, "The Prince Jin's Mansion really has a upright family tradition, harmony and love."
The two walked side by side for a while, Jin Yan said with a smile, "The main reason is that the father loves the mother and the concubine, and the eldest brother and the second brother are naturally influenced by it."
"Yes."
Ren Wuyan said with a smile.
His eyes swept over Jin Yan's face. What he didn't say was that even though the princess was returning home halfway, she was also gentle, humble, and relaxed, which was enviable.
There are many ministers in this team, but none of them are as humble as Prince Jin's Mansion.
I don't know how many cold looks he received from the beginning. Some people even threatened to make him pay a price. There were also many people who were looking for trouble, but Prince Jin's Mansion didn't even need an explanation from him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Ren."
Stopping in front of Wen Yan's carriage, Jin Yan smiled and said something.
She knew that this matter was not Ren Wuyan's responsibility. He had just been elected as the commander of the Imperial Guard a few days ago, and this palace banquet had been arranged more than a month ago.
He only ensures the safety of the palace and does not need to be responsible for such things.
Ren Wuyang paused and smiled lightly, "Thank you for your understanding, Princess."
The relaxation was only temporary. Ren Wuyang would soon be involved in complicated matters, so he left in a hurry.
Before Jin Yan even got on the carriage, the curtain was opened.
"Come on, let's walk back to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion."
Due to special circumstances tonight, there must be no one guarding the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Jin Yan grabbed her wrist. The cold touch made her frown. With a little force, he followed her and got out of the carriage.
"Have you not walked enough in the palace?"
He joked.
Jin Yan smiled and said, "I don't know when it will be ready here. Go back early and have a good rest."
She walked in front and he followed behind.
The two of them soon arrived at the narrow alley. There were no lights and no one in these places, only the white snow. Every time they stepped in, they collapsed, and a subtle clicking sound could be heard.
Before she had taken a few steps, a body suddenly came up behind Jin Yan.
With a strong hand on his waist, she was lifted up, like pulling a carrot out of the snow.
"you……"
Jin Yan grabbed his arm in panic, and then she screamed. Wen Yan's voice came from above her head, "Don't get your shoes and socks wet again."
With that said, he hugged her and moved forward.
After taking only two steps, Ruyu's face suddenly froze, because Jinyan's legs were wrapped around him, making him unable to move.
"Jinyan..."
Thinking that she was going to play another trick, Wen Yan had no choice but to say something. .
