If you don't have all the effort and all the energy, you can't cope well. Just thinking about it makes me feel sour.

Fortunately, the reason for not going to the feast was ready-made—the wound on the face had not healed.

Sheng Yao was very busy today, sacrificing to the Taimiao with Emperor Wei and meeting with the courtiers of Chaohe. And - after the evening family banquet, the ancestor system rested in the Langhua Palace.

The Huiyin Hall at night is lonely.

Even though the red lantern hangs high at the gate of the temple, it is festive and as if it were daytime.

But no matter how many fireworks are set off inside and outside the palace, half of the night sky is red, no matter how lively the juggling and lion dance in the square in front of the Baohe Palace are, the majestic Huiyin Hall is still lonely in the eyes of outsiders.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of Yongping, I kept a candle flame quietly fluttering alone, and I kept the year until dawn. I only felt that the long night was cold and penetrating to the bones.

When the red candle tears were piling up under the candlestick, the day dawned.

In the palace passage outside the palace, there was gradually the sound of the guards walking in their boots after the change of shifts, and then the sound of the palace attendants beginning to shuttle back and forth and walk cautiously.

I packed up my mood and called Cuinong, who was accompanying her outside, to come in as usual. These thoughts in the long night are not enough for outsiders, only I know.

Cui Nong was wearing a newly made winter dress in the palace, with the piping of the placket and the two head flowers in the style and red of the palace, which was indeed quite lively and festive. It reminds me of the love of Qingzhuo, who is dressed in a deep light red, and I don't know how she spent her Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year?

Cui Nong smiled and said loudly: "Congratulations to Liangyuan, auspicious New Year!"

I was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile: yes, it's already the New Year.

After grooming, Coo'er, Ruyi and others also came to congratulate the New Year, and I asked Cuinong to give everyone in the Huiyin Hall a heavy silver reward. Anyway, the Zhuangzi and the shop that Shengyao gave had very good income, that is, most of them were used by my brother to make dots up and down, and the rest was also very rich. It is an example of not moving the East Palace, and it can also allow everyone to have a rich New Year.

After the silver reward is over, the Huiyin Hall is really a happy New Year's atmosphere for everyone.

After using up the eighteen kinds of breakfast distributed by the dining room, holding hot tea, I watched a few little palace maids smile and tie red ribbons to the flowers and trees in the garden, and couldn't help but bend the corners of their mouths. It seems that if you try to clean up your mood and don't expect too much, you can still live a peaceful life.

"Liangyuan, the time has come to go to Langhua Hall to worship the crown princess. ”

It was as if there was an accent on the strings, and the smooth sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

I looked at Ruyi, who came into the hall to remind me, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said calmly, "Okay." ”

The Langhua Hall occupies a wide area, and it is only one less than the Yude Hall to enter the palace room. With Cuinong and Ruyi, I met Ying Chunchun at the gate of the second hall.

"Liangyuan New Year. Ying Chunchun bowed down, looked at me from the bottom up, and smiled proudly: "Liangyuan, it's the New Year, and it's also the New Year." ”

I reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Yes, the flowers in spring should bloom more beautifully." ”

When she saw that I still remembered my promise outside the Huiyin Hall on the day I canonized Liangyuan, she smiled more and more delicately, "Chun'er thanked Liangyuan." ”

I said to myself in my heart: The East Palace is already beautiful anyway, so why not have one more Ying Chunchun to favor you.

endured the bitterness in his heart, took Ying Chunchun's hand, and entered the main hall of Langhua Hall together.

"Keng-", the martial servants on both sides of the neatly arranged raised their horizontal knives at the same time, staggering to block the way between me and Ying Chunchun.

Ying Chunchun was suddenly frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do!"

I stood at the gate of the hall, looking through the gap in the cold blade, Wu Shanghua was wearing a black and red dragon and phoenix coat, with a crown of seven Zhai on his high bun, and he was sitting on the main seat of the main hall. His red lips were open, and he was looking at this side with a smug smile.

Mama Jin, who was standing beside her, rebuked loudly: "Who is making a fuss and shouting here? What kind of system! It's really embarrassing." ”

I pressed Ying Chunchun's hand and said in a deep voice: "Chunchun, don't be surprised, the princess's maid is just welcoming us." He turned to Wu Shanghua and said, "Huiyin Hall Qu Clan, Shicui Pavilion Ying Clan, come to congratulate the crown princess on the New Year!"

Wu Shanghua sneered, turned his face sideways, and raised his hand and waved it down. The two columns of martial maids at the gate of the temple immediately received horizontal swords. One of the martial maids sarcastically said, "Be careful, don't be scared by the horizontal knife in our hands!" After speaking, he looked at several neighboring martial maids and laughed loudly!

Whether it was Wu Shanghua or Mama Jin, they did not say anything to stop such rude behavior. On the contrary, I am happy to see me and Ying Chunchun eating deflated.

I looked coldly at the group of martial maids who were smiling and leaning forward and backwards, and said unhurriedly: "Chop, stab, pick, press, I don't know how this person can use the horizontal knife?

The maid suddenly stopped laughing, and looked at me with wide eyes, but didn't know how to refute.

I smiled and walked towards the hall. Ying Chunchun cautiously looked around at the martial arts on both sides, and followed closely behind me in small steps.

There were already many concubines from the East Palace in the palace, and when they saw that I was still wearing a veil, and that there was a beautiful woman behind me, they all whispered.

"Could it be that Qu Liangyuan's face is no longer better?"

"Probably yes, otherwise how could I take that Ying Chunchun, who can turn into a puddle of water, and I don't know what this fox will turn into if he sees a man?"

"So, Qu Liangyuan ruined her appearance, most likely to promote Ying Chunchun to protect herself?"

"The crown princess is really ruthless! A beauty like Qu Liangyuan can also lift a knife and use her hands. That's the crown prince's heart, aren't you afraid that the prince will blame?"

"What do you know, it's because she's such a beauty and she's the top of her heart that she has to do it! ”

"Phew, you're going to be a sycophant! and iron-blooded, in my opinion, it's just a jealous and unspoiled room to play prestige. ”

……

"Shut up!" Wu Shanghua was furious, rushed down the main seat, pulled out a horizontal knife from the waist of the martial maid under the seat, and pointed at the two concubines who were the loudest in the discussion, and the phoenix eyes widened, "What are you talking about!"

The two concubines faced the blade, knelt straight and straight on the ground, tilted their heads to avoid the tip of the knife, and kept begging for mercy: "No, no, I didn't say anything." The crown princess is angry!"

"The crown princess spares her life!"

Seeing that the two concubines were already trembling and rolling into tears, I couldn't help sighing. walked over and grabbed Wu Shanghua's wrist, and said clearly in her ear: "The crown princess will take us to the queen mother and the queen mother to congratulate in a while." If there is an accident in the East Palace on the first day of the new year, it will be very inappropriate to alarm the two palaces at that time!"
