After the Laba Festival, every household began to be busy with the New Year's ceremony, and each shop also began to make a year-end summary, and the New Year seemed to be approaching.

Even Xiao'er had to take time out to check the account books and gift slips every morning and afternoon.

Shangguan Xuanyi was even busier, coming and going every day, and the two of them were like this, busy until Chinese New Year's Eve.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er entered the palace early in the morning to greet the emperor and empress.

On this day, there was a palace banquet, and after eating the palace banquet, there was a vigil at night, and both of them had to stay in the palace on this day.

Shangguan Xuanyi helped Xiao'er to Zichen Palace to meet the emperor before going to Cining Palace to ask for peace.

"Your imperial grandmother is not in good health, after you finish saying goodbye, go to your queen mother's place, don't hinder your imperial grandmother's rest. The emperor explained.

After Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er should go down, they went to Cining Palace.

This year's winter is particularly cold, the Queen Mother's body is good and bad this winter, two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed again, and then the Queen Mother was infected with wind and cold, she felt that the whole person was weak, and she didn't even get off the bed.

Even on Chinese New Year's Eve, her prince and grandson came to greet her, she didn't pay much attention, just met and sent them away.

The emperor and Prince An have already invited An, Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er, Shangguan Ruixi and Du Yijin came relatively late, after the palace maid communicated to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother disappeared directly, and she was too lazy to get up from the bed.

Seeing this, the four of them went directly to the Kunning Palace where the queen was.

The eldest princess in Kunning Palace, the fifth princess, Princess Anqing, Shangguan Wanru and Fu Ranhui and others are all there, several people are playing mahjong, in addition to them, there are also some court wives, and they also have a table on their side.

It's snowing outside, and there's no good activity, so I can only play mahjong. Mahjong is a thing that can be said to be eaten by both men and women as long as it is invented, suitable for all ages, both ancient and modern.

When the queen saw the four of them walking in, she hurriedly greeted Xiao'er and Du Yijin: "You two double-body people don't need to salute, come and sit on the warm floor, it's too cold outside, don't freeze the child in your belly." ”

Xiao'er and Du Yijin still insisted on bowing before going to sit down.

This is a woman's paradise, so Shangguan Xuanyi and Shangguan Ruixi went to Zichen Palace to meet the minister with the emperor after meeting the ceremony.

The queen was playing cards, so Xiao'er didn't sit down.

She and Du Yijin came to Fu Ranhui and sat down: "The county lord doesn't want to play cards?"

"I was late, and they all started. ”

"The county lord seems to have lost weight, what's wrong?" Du Yijin asked with concern.

Xiao'er looked over, and she was about to ask.

"Really? I don't feel it. Fu Ranhui touched her face.

"There is a little, eat more, otherwise General Zhao will be heartbroken when he comes back. The fifth princess saw Xiao'er coming and wanted to talk to her, so she stepped back from the mahjong table.

Fu Ranhui lowered her head when she heard this, hiding the bitterness in her heart.

That man has no self in his heart, so how can he have heartache.

"Didn't General Zhao already return to the imperial capital this morning? "When Xiao'er entered the palace with Shangguan Xuanyi this morning, she happened to see the back of Zhao Youwei entering the palace, and she was a little surprised at the time, how did he come back.

It was Shangguan Xuanyi who said that the war was about to start, and Zhao Youwei would be one of the main generals on the front line, and the imperial court would give those generals on the front line who had just gotten married and guarded the frontier to go home and rest for a month, so that he could recuperate and fight wholeheartedly.

Xiao'er immediately understood, this is an opportunity for those young generals who have started a family but have no descendants to leave their bloodlines, after all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, life and death depend on each other, no one knows whether they will come back triumphantly in the end.

"He's back?" Fu Ranhui heard this, and looked at Xiao'er in shock, Zhao Youwei is back, she, the person who is a wife, doesn't know, but she already knows!

Is he so eager to appear in front of her?

"Don't you know, probably he went to the palace to resume his life, and then go back to the house!" Xiao'er said when she saw this.

"General Zhao is back? Then I know why Ran Hui lost weight, and she has dark circles under her eyes, she must have received the letter early, knowing that General Zhao was coming back soon, and then she was so happy that she couldn't eat and couldn't sleep well, right?"

When Fu Ranhui heard this, she showed a wry smile, the fact is that she didn't know that he would come back at all, and he didn't send a letter to herself, how could she be so happy that she couldn't eat and sleep well, if it was really like this, it would be fine.

Although the father-in-law said that he should return for the New Year, it was only because the letter sent back from the south did not mention it, and today was Chinese New Year's Eve, so they all thought that he would not return.

I didn't expect him to come back, and some people knew that he was back, but that person was not his wife.

"General Zhao came back this time, the county lord took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and seize the time to conceive a child, so that after a year, several of our children can play together. Du Yijin said with a smile.

"Don't bother, you don't bother!" Fu Ranhui didn't like it when she heard this, and she walked away after she said this.

One is the princess of the person she has liked for many years, and the other is the person she now cares about, she really doesn't know how to face them.

She looks at them happily, and she feels like her life is like a joke. You never get what you want.

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Du Yijin's face, she seemed to be a little nosy.

Although she and Shangguan Ruixi are married, and the county lord is also a relative, but the two of them have not spoken much for more than a year, and they used to have a low background, and they couldn't touch someone like the county lord, so the two didn't know each other at all, and they didn't know each other well, and she forgot about it.

Xiao'er and the fifth princess were also stunned by Fu Ranhui's attitude.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

After Fu Ranhui walked away, Xiao'er said: "The county lord seems to be in a bad mood, so the tone of his voice is a little impulsive, don't take it to heart." ”

Xiao'er thought that Fu Ranhui was because Du Yijin was Shangguan Ruixi's beloved woman, and she hadn't stepped out of that hurdle yet, so she didn't wait to see Du Yijin.

The fifth princess also comforted: "Ran Hui is very short-tempered every time she comes on a small day, she has also shown me a look in the past, I think she is coming to menstruation, don't take it to heart, if I see you another day, she should apologize to you." ”

It turned out that the little day was coming, so even if General Zhao came back, he couldn't have the same room, how could he conceive a child, no wonder she said this just now, it turned out that she had intercepted her sore spot, Du Yijin was relieved when she thought of this, she smiled slightly: "No, I am also easy to lose my temper when I come to the small day." ”

Du Yijin used to have a cold palace, and every time she had menstruation, she was so painful that she died, so when she was young, her temper was very irritable, and she knew it herself.
