The New Year's Eve family banquet is a rare annual day for reunion in the palace. The royal family and relatives gather together, no matter what is going on inside, they are all joyful on the surface.

After a brief confrontation between Bafujin and Sifujin, they planned to go to their own positions.

Unexpectedly, next to her seat, the eighth elder brother had already sat down and was talking to the ninth elder brother and tenth elder brother not far away.

Ba Fujin was annoyed that he didn't help just now. He turned around, threw away the veil and walked to the side.

Going in circles, she didn't know which way to go. After all, she didn't know her sisters very well, and her relationship with them was average. Just when she was hesitant, she raised her eyes and saw the person facing this person.

Emperor Kangxi and Concubine Yi were walking by.

Ba Fujin's relationship with Yi Fei is really average recently, but she usually focuses on Ba Age and doesn't pay attention to maintaining other relationships.

Now she has no one else to talk to, and only Yifei, her biological aunt, can talk to her for a few words.

Bafu Jin simply stopped here and blessed himself with Emperor Kangxi and Concubine Yi: "I have seen Emperor Ama and Concubine Yi."

Emperor Kangxi didn't particularly like this daughter-in-law, so he casually said "hmm" and continued to talk to Concubine Yi: "...this girl from Dong E's family sounds good, but after all, Yinzhen is not particularly old, so he is not in a hurry.

For a while.”

The implication is that Emperor Kangxi did not particularly agree with Concubine Yi's suggestion that the girl from Dong E's family marry Brother Jiu.

Concubine Yi had not mentioned this matter once or twice. During today's New Year's Eve banquet, she was sure that Emperor Kangxi would not lose his temper or show his displeasure today, so she brought it up again at this time.

Concubine Yi saw Bafu Jin who was saluting and saying hello next to her.

But she ignored Ba Fujin, and didn't even respond with Emperor Kangxi's response. She directly answered Emperor Kangxi's words: "How could the emperor know that she is not good if he doesn't look at that child more? Today she is following San

Fujin also came to the palace to attend the banquet. If the emperor is free, you may wish to pay attention."

After saying that, Concubine Yi couldn't help but praise little Dong E: "You are really a good child. Your Majesty, please take a look at it more."

Emperor Kangxi was actually a little bored.

Anyone who is forced to agree to something like this again and again will feel annoyed. What's more, he is a noble person and cannot tolerate such behavior.

But today they are attending a dinner party, and they have now arrived at the room where the banquet is being held. Moreover, there is a daughter-in-law, Bafujin, secretly listening to their conversation nearby...

Emperor Kangxi endured it again and again, and finally did not lose his temper. Instead, he said with a smile: "I understand, let's eat first." As he said this, he strode to his seat.

Concubine Yi followed him and glanced at the room several times, trying to find where little Dong E was.

Unfortunately, she looked several times but couldn't find the other party's location.

In fact, the current Xiao Dong E went to the side to change clothes.

It was her first time to attend a palace banquet, so she was not clear on some details. She drank too much water in the afternoon. She had three urgent needs. Since she knew that she would not be able to move around once the banquet actually started, she quickly solved them now.

This problem.

San Fujin didn't know where he went, but he must have gone to help Third Brother entertain the female relatives.

Xiao Dong E asked a little palace maid to help guide her and ran over there to change her clothes.

When she came out, the sky had already darkened. The street lamps lit around her gave off a faint light, pointing her to the way forward.

The gravel road has some potholes.

It is very stable when walking during the day, so walking at night seems a bit difficult.

After Xiao Dong E took a few steps, he lost his footing and stumbled.

Seeing that she would hit her head after falling like this, she was shocked and exclaimed. She thought she was finished like this. Unexpectedly, a strong arm suddenly stretched out from beside her and pulled her at the critical moment to save her.

Yu fell to the ground.

After she stood firm, she subconsciously looked at her "savior". Taking advantage of the weak street light, she took a rough look at the other person's clothes, and then realized that the other person should be a brother or Belle based on his uniform.

It was the first time for Xiao Dong E to see this elder brother. After being helped by him, her cheeks turned red and she murmured: "...Thank you."

The other party said gently: "You're welcome, be careful next time." Then he continued to walk away with his head held high.

Xiao Dong E hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt and followed closely behind him.

The other party obviously realized that she was following her, so he stopped briefly, turned around and asked her: "Are you afraid of walking at night like this?"

Xiao Dong E said softly: "Yes."

The other party looked at the street lights on both sides of the road, but did not ask her in detail why she was still afraid of the street lights. She must have remembered that she almost fell down just now.

He slowed down his pace, apparently so that she would not be too lonely and could catch up.

Xiao Dong E's cheeks were slightly red and he followed her.

In fact, the small gravel path is not too long, it is just a spacious path from near the dressing area to the front of the road, about twenty or thirty steps.

It's just that there are tall trees and street lights on both sides of the road, which makes it look a little spookier in the middle of the night.

Xiao Dong E's family followed him not long before he came to the main road.

There were several little eunuchs and maids waiting there, including the little maid who took Xiao Dong E to change clothes.

When the little palace maid saw Xiao Dong E coming over, she was secretly relieved and said to herself: "I should have followed you there. If you are not familiar with that road, I am afraid it will be a bit bumpy."

Xiao Dong Eshi whispered: "It's okay."

She subconsciously secretly looked at the man in front of her.

I saw the little eunuchs and maids saluting his body and calling him "Babeile".

She just found out that he was the eighth elder brother, the eighth brother of her cousin's husband.

Little Dong E walked slowly towards the banquet room under the guidance of the little palace maid.

She found that the eighth prince walked very fast, with long strides, gentle and mighty, and very handsome.

In fact, after Brother Ba gave her a hand, he didn't take it to heart anymore.

The eighth prince is used to being gentle and generous. He just saw a woman who seemed to be about to fall, so he helped her up.

He didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

At that time, he reached out to help her because he saw that the woman was clearly dressed as the daughter of an official family who came to attend the banquet. If she were an ordinary palace official, he would definitely not take action.

When the eighth elder brother arrived at the banquet room, he was surrounded by the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.

"Bago, what have you been doing? Why are you back so late?"

"That's right, I just told you the interesting story about the last time you assisted the prince in supervising the country, but you left half way through. You didn't come back until now. Brother Ninth and I are impatient."

The two of them took the eighth prince's seat and sat down again.

After Xiao Dong'e returned to his seat, he looked longingly in the direction of Ba Age, thinking that he was indeed the "most generous and kind" Ba Beile that his family often said. His character was indeed

Excellent.

...and looks very good.

If you can be by the side of such a man, even if you can only be a sidekick, you can still live a good life.

It's a pity——

Xiao Dong E's eyes averted, knowing that the family's plans were more important, so he could only lower his eyes to hide the many turmoils in his heart.

However, even though she thought she was hiding it well, someone was observing her every move.

That is the Eight Fortunes.

Ba Fujin never pays attention to others, his whole heart is focused on Ba Age.

When the eighth prince came back just now, she felt as if someone was watching him. After looking around the room, she fixed her sights on little Dong E.

Even if Xiao Dong'e later withdrew her gaze, Bafujin still felt that her infatuated gaze was a great threat.

Ba Fujin suddenly couldn't sit still, stood up and overturned the chair.

The maid next to her was startled and hurriedly raised the chair: "Fu Jin, if you need anything, I will get it for you."

"No need." Ba Fujin said stiffly, "I have something to say to Si Fujin." Then he walked towards where Si Fujin was.

Even if she didn't like Si Fujin anymore, Ba Fujin couldn't help but go to Si Fujin's table at this time and called her sweetly: "Fourth sister-in-law~~"

Luo Jianing was shocked by Bafujin's sweet call, and hurriedly leaned to the side, away from her: "What are you doing?"

"I just want to ask Fourth Sister-in-law about someone." Ba Fujin deliberately sat next to Si Fujin and asked at a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Who is that person next to San Fujin?"

She knew that asking others might not be able to answer this kind of question. After all, not everyone could know the background of the person in the room.

You can ask Sifujin Yiquan.

Because the tables of San Fujin and Si Fujin are not far away, and Si Fujin is a smart person, so he will definitely plan everything and find ways to know the background of the people around him.

Although she doesn't like Si Fujin, she also recognizes Si Fujin's ability and level.

really.

After listening to her words, Si Fujin just glanced over there and answered: "That's San Fujin's cousin, from Dong E's family."

Bafujin said "thank you" and turned back to his seat.

Cuiying was shocked when she heard Ba Fujin's thank you, and whispered: "Fu Jin, what medicine did Ba Fujin take today?" She actually said "thank you" to Fujin?!

Has the sun come out in the west?
