On Chinese New Year's Eve, every family is in a lively reunion, even Dayan Imperial City is no exception.

In the Fuhui Palace, Concubine Zhuang watched a few small palace people paste the window flowers with fish every year, saying that it was usually at home for the New Year, it was so lively and prosperous, Concubine Zhuang had a smile in her eyes, and instructed Russell to give a few small palace people a red seal for each person, which was considered a reward.

Concubine Zhuang dressed her two daughters like girls who came out of the New Year's paintings, then squinted and smiled, and commanded softly: "The situation is unstable these days, your father has a straight face all day long, and when I see your father at the New Year's banquet for a while, I want to say more auspicious words to make your father happy." ”

The two princesses nodded obediently, chattering around Concubine Zhuang.

In the Zhaoyang Hall to the north of the Fuyuan Palace, Concubine Gu Shu held her chin and used a silver chisel to pick up the incense ash in the incense burner, watching the curling incense rise from the burning stove.

Zhang Rouwan, who was waiting on the side, saw that her master was absent-minded, and whispered in the past: "You carefully The fragrant ash was blown into your eyes by the wind, you don't know that a few days ago, there was a new Xiaogong person who didn't pay attention, and when pouring the ashes, he didn't carelessly burn the back of his hand, and your body is golden and precious can't be too casual." ”

Concubine Gu Shufei came back to her senses, handed the silver chisel in her hand to Zhang Rouwan, and looked to the east with her eyes.

“…… I don't know what happened to the prince now, I just hate that this palace is a harem woman after all, and I can't go to the East Palace without permission, otherwise how can I let them abuse the prince like this..."

Zhang Rouwan knew that the maiden was worried about Gu Shizi's safety, and hurriedly said: "The maiden is also too worried, didn't the Empress Dowager go to see it in person before, saying that Gu Shizi has woken up, and now she can eat some liquid food, presumably it will be good in a few days, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you will mention it to the Empress Dowager at the New Year banquet at that time, let you go and see the Shizi, and think that the Empress Dowager can also be lenient." ”

Gu Shufei stroked her forehead, where can it be so easy, now it is forbidden to talk about this matter inside and outside the palace, in previous years, she could still summon her sister-in-law into the palace to sit during the New Year, but now her sister-in-law is also dead, and my brother doesn't know how difficult it is to be alone outside, and those people in the clan are unreliable, and her own sister-in-law looks like she is not dead or alive......

She couldn't help but close her eyes and asked, "Did the Fourth Prince go to Shangwen Pavilion today?"

Zhang Rouwan went and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Concubine Gu Shu, and shook her head: "No, the fourth prince is in Shangwu Pavilion today, General Xiao Rui is teaching martial arts in Shangwu Pavilion, and the fourth prince thought that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, so he relaxed for a day." ”

Gu Shufei was silent, took the tea and took a sip gently, and it took a while before she came back to her senses, thinking that the emperor had put her brother's power under her and put it in the place of Chuangui, the intention couldn't be more obvious, she was afraid that her brother wouldn't be able to turn around this corner, so she went around herself, and was reluctant to let go of the right in her hand.

Gu Shufei took another sip of tea, put it on the table, frowned, looked at the slightly gloomy sun outside the glass window, and the gloom in her heart seemed to be a cloud turning over and over in the sky.

“…… You go and ask Rouyi to call the fourth old man back in a while, and say that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and you have to come back to try new clothes. ”

Zhang Rouwan nodded respectfully.

Gu Shufei looked at the increasingly gloomy sun in the sky, and the uneasiness in her heart became bigger and bigger.

……

Chaofeng Palace.

Just after noon, a palace man received a repaired chess piece from the Internal Affairs Office and sent it over.

Although the queen is still grounded, no one dares not to take her affairs to heart, and the chess pieces that were damaged more than half a month ago have been repaired well, and they are neatly stacked in the ebony box inlaid with glazed lapis lazuli and presented to them.

The queen sat on the warm kang near the window, wiping the chessboard with her bare hands, and the chess pieces made of white jade emitted a shining luster in the sun, which was very crystal clear, but unfortunately a few of them were cracked from the middle, and the jade chess pieces that were originally in perfect condition instantly had flaws.

The queen wiped it very carefully, wiping the chessboard to wipe the chess pieces, carefully one by one.

Outside the window, the snow began to fall again, the wind wrapped in ice particles like snowflakes whistling, the big red lanterns hanging high under the eaves were blown around by the wind, it was clear that there was the sun a moment ago, and at this moment it suddenly began to snow, so that a few palace people waiting outside the hall couldn't help but start playing drums, this year was really not very good.

Aunt Xu bowed in, and saw that the queen had stopped wiping the chess pieces, got up and propped up the window lattice, and looked at the snow flying outside the window.

From time to time, snowflakes would be blown in by the wind, spreading the heat of the room.

Aunt Xu was shocked at the moment, and went up to comfort: "The queen mother should take care of the phoenix body, such a big wind and snow, how can it be good if she gets frosty again?"

Empress Wei looked at the scattered snowflakes outside the window, and the corners of her mouth provoked a cool smile, "Isn't it just right that I'm sick, inside and outside the palace, how many people are looking forward to me being sick and dying, so that they can push me down and replace them with this queen!"

In the end, the sharpness of the voice suddenly broke through the silence of the room, and scared the few small palace people outside, and they didn't know whether they were frozen or overheard the queen's complaints.

Aunt Xu hurriedly stepped forward and closed the lattice opened by Empress Wei, "Niangniang is like a mirror in her heart, but she hasn't raised her body yet, you are angry with yourself." ”

Empress Wei stretched out her hand to hold the chess pieces in the palm of her hand, and the chess pieces engraved with words were imprinted on the palm of her hand, and she felt bitter in her heart as if she had drunk Coptis chinensis.

“…… Our Wei family has been full of loyal martyrs since Emperor Wuzong, otherwise how could Emperor Wuzong ask for Liulang to marry me as his wife? Since I became the queen, when did I disobey Liulang's will? The Empress Dowager has always disliked my daughter-in-law, I have swallowed my anger for so many years, but now I have to be slapped in the face in front of the foreign wife, doesn't Liulang miss a little old love?"

Empress Wei raised her eyebrows, her eyes were unbearable pain, and the words on the chess piece in her palm were so vividly engraved into her heart.

“…… The next game of chess has to play with me for a long time, Liulang never wants to talk to me properly, and he never pretends to see me, but when he faces those little goblins, it seems to be a different person, Jing Concubine is just giving birth to a cinnabar mole, but cherishes it, and doesn't even give her the soup to avoid the child, the fifth prince and the sixth prince have died of flowers, and now there is an additional seven princes......"

Speaking of this, the chess piece in her hand seemed to be so hot that she couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground fiercely, and the chess piece was torn apart at once, and the bright red handsome word on it seemed to be divided by five horses, and scattered on the oily marble floor tiles.

Aunt Xu sighed, she knew that this chess piece could not be saved, and the little eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office came to report to her this morning, she originally wanted to press it, but the queen mother heard it, and insisted that the palace people send it over after noon.

How the queen and the emperor played this game of chess that day, no one understands better than her, and the queen mother is now confined by the emperor in Chaofeng Palace, so it's no wonder that she can be happy.

Empress Wei's willow eyebrows were raised, and when she thought of the cinnabar mole under the corner of Concubine Jing's eyes, she hated it like she had drunk a pot of vinegar.

“…… After all, Liulang still can't forget the slut in Yunhua Palace, in this case, why didn't he act in the first place, knowing that she had a disobedient heart, but he still thought about it, where is that slut better than me?"

Aunt Xu was so frightened that she hurriedly changed her words: "These things have long passed, and you will only make yourself unhappy if you mention it now, besides, even if they are favored by the emperor again, they can't get around you, the lady of the main palace, don't they all have to come to have an early ceremony with you?

Empress Wei thought of those warblers and swallows, women who looked like flowers and bones, and her heart was straight and crooked, and then she looked at the snow scene outside the glass window, and she saw a bright yellow figure walking in, she hurriedly stood up and walked to the door.

The curtain was raised, but it was the prince who entered the main hall, and knelt down with a robe and saluted: "The son asks the queen mother for peace, and I wish the queen mother a long life and good health." ”

Empress Wei hid her disappointed expression, asked her to pick him up, reached out for a handkerchief to help him flick the snowflakes that fell on her body, and said with disgust in her mouth: "With such a big snowfall, I don't know how to add an extra piece of clothing when I come out, what should I do if I get frostbite?"

The prince smiled, "It doesn't matter, Erchen is strong and strong, and he practices martial arts every day, so he won't be frozen by this little snow so lightly, but the queen mother needs to pay more attention to keeping warm, beware of being blown by the wind and getting sick." ”

Empress Wei looked at her son who was already so tall, as if all these years had passed in the blink of an eye, and she had all kinds of feelings in her heart, and she was about to sigh, when she heard the prince whisper a word in her ear, and instantly surprised her, and looked at the prince incredulously.

"Is that true?"

The prince smiled secretly, "It's true, it's my cousin who guards the Yanmen Pass, I see those people all the year round, since I enter the customs, there will always be traces, my uncle has already made arrangements for them, and it will be difficult for them to fly even if they have wings at that time." ”

Empress Wei sat firmly on the main seat of the main hall of Chaofeng Palace, the corners of her eyebrows flew out of a touch of aggressive richness, and the bright yellow embroidered palace dress with winged phoenix wings was worn on her body, lining the queen's grace and luxury, showing a kind of flamboyant momentum.

With a smile on the corner of her eyebrows, the queen whispered, "Since I can let you die once, I can let you die a second time!"

The snow outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, and on the last day of the old and welcoming the new in Yunfu City, there is an uncontrollable trend, and the little people in Yunfu City look up at the snow in the sky, with unstoppable joy on their faces.

Next year will be a good year!
