Chapter 226 New Year

"What are you talking about?!"

Chuncao said a little angrily,

"I'm not greedy for anything, and you don't know it, I ......"

"I know, don't worry, that's what I said, your mind, alas, I have persuaded you for so many years, you just can't hear this aunt in your heart, the aunt in our house, it's not so easy to be a good place to pick a small maid to marry, and the two of them live in peace?"

Dongmei frowned, looked at Chuncao and sighed and said, Chuncao leaned back on the futon, lowered her eyes, turned the handkerchief in her hand a little, and said in a low voice for a while:

"Dongmei, I know that you are for my good, the two of us have been together for so many years, and we are closer than sisters, I have not hidden anything from you in this thought, you know, the first time I saw the prince, I ......"

Chuncao bit her lip and paused for a long time, Dongmei drooped her shoulders, sighed heavily and nodded,

"I know, but we are slaves, and in the eyes of our masters, we are just objects...... Alas, forget it, I won't say it, and you don't understand. ”

"I understand, I also know that the prince is good to the young lady, and the young lady is not as good as the princess, but I never dared to think that the prince is good to me, I just want to follow him and wait for him, there must always be someone waiting around the prince, and the young lady is always inconvenient and can't wait, and in the future, I will conceive a child...... I can't help but put a few people around the prince, and I don't ask for the name of my aunt, I can be a room or a bed warmer, I just want to follow him, wait for him, see him, hear him speak, just ...... All things are content. ”

Dongmei leaned back, shaking her head and sighing, Chuncao looked up at Dongmei and said stubbornly:

"I just want to be able to serve him for the rest of my life, and there must be someone waiting for him by his side, right?!"

"Since you are hard-hearted, I won't persuade you much, after the New Year, we will be eighteen years old, this matter can not be delayed any longer, you have to quickly find a chance to talk to the princess, after the New Year, if Mama Tian's marriage list comes down, it will be too late, the masters will be married, but there is no reason to discuss with us!"

Chuncao nodded again and again,

"Well, I know, tomorrow the two of us will be on duty, and I will go to ask the princess, what about you?"

"Where is my matter?! He has already begged Mama Tian, if the princess asks, I will say, if you don't ask, you don't need to say more."

Chuncao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Brother Changfu is good and capable, if you marry him, you will definitely live well in the future."

The two of them chattered and gossiped.

At the beginning of the month, King Cheng asked the family to enter Beijing to celebrate the New Year's excerpt was handed into the palace, the emperor immediately agreed, this excerpt into Beijing to celebrate the New Year, the beginning of the month of the month was handed into the palace, it was already very late, from Taiyuan Mansion to the capital, the rapid march also took seven or eight days, the post road delivered the emperor's will to the past, King Cheng then took the whole family into Beijing, with the family, after all, it is not better than a rapid march, no matter how to rush on the road, it will take 20 days, and wait for people to return to the capital, the year is over.

In the main hall of Yuncui Palace, the emperor's face was gloomy and crooked on the couch in the east wing, silently watching Cheng Guifei stretch and slowly divide the tea, seeing that she divided the tea, and made a picture of the full moon on the water, straightened up, took a sip of the cup, closed his eyes and tasted it for a while, before opening his eyes and asking:

"Have you asked the doctor?"

"Well, today Doctor Song is coming in to check the pulse, so I asked him, and now Xu Shengrong's illness is being diagnosed by Doctor Gongtai."

"Imperial Doctor?"

The emperor said in surprise, Cheng Guifei's face was full of amusement and a little unbearable, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, coughed lightly a few times, and then said in a low voice:

"As soon as I heard it, it was strange that it didn't work, the palace doctor was best at the injury department, treating a bad sore, nameless swelling and pain, but he was very good, how did the Xu family invite him to treat Xu Shengrong......?

Cheng Guifei looked up at the emperor, and continued with pity in her eyes:

Xu Shengrong was coerced by those beggars and was bullied...... As a male darling, he was bullied too much, and he was seriously injured, and the palace doctor said that the treatment could be cured, but I was afraid that I would have to adjust the treatment for half a year to get better, and the side ones were all fine. ”

The emperor frowned, and suddenly laughed out loud for a while, raised his hand and pointed at Cheng Guifei,

"I've always wondered who did Xu Shengrong's disappearance, but now I don't have to suspect that this is Xiao Ke's ghost on someone else's head."

Cheng Guifei looked at the emperor with a surprised face, the emperor straightened up, looked at Cheng Guifei and said:

"When he comes back, you just have to ask him if he has grown."

Cheng Guifei was uneasy, and was about to stand up and ask for guilt, but the emperor stretched out his hand to hold her, and said with a smile:

"Don't panic, I'm afraid that this Xu Shengrong saw Xiao Ke go to Beisan Road and thought it was ......."

The emperor snorted contemptuously, smiled, and continued coldly:

"I probably think I can get something back, I'm afraid that I will provoke Xiao Ke, the demon king of the world, and it's good to suffer a loss, if you are at peace from now on, it's a good thing, and you won't die one day."

"Your Majesty, this Xiao Ke ...... How can you always make trouble like this? ”

Cheng Guifei said worriedly, and the emperor patted her hand lightly and comforted gently:

"Don't worry, although this Xiao Ke is a bit of a fool, he can do things in a very measured way, it's not ridiculous, it's good to run errands and fight, it's just young and frivolous, it'll be fine in a few years, don't worry, this mission to the North Third Road will be done very well."

Cheng Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with a relaxed face.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Li Xiaonuan got up early in the morning, accompanied the princess to pick up the Buddha bathing team of the Gospel Temple in the second gate, and was busy scattering Laba porridge.

From this day on, it can be regarded as officially entering the major event of the New Year.

When Li Xiaonuan was in the conference hall, he went from half an hour in the morning to having lunch in the conference hall, and then he was busy for more than an hour before he could return to Qinglian Courtyard.

On this day, Li Xiaonuan and several mothers-in-law were preparing to send a gift list to Jingjiang Hou's family, Lu family and other close relatives, and the mother-in-law guarding the door outside the second gate reported in, holding a gift list and handing it over:

"Back to the young lady, the horse steward of the outside department came to ask the young lady to show it, this gift list was sent by the new imperial historian Zou Yingnian's house, and the head was written to the prince and the young lady, and the stewards outside did not dare to be self-conscious, so I came to ask the young lady to show it."

Yuban hurriedly stepped forward to take the gift list in the mother-in-law's hand and handed it to Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes slightly, stared at the gift list in Yuban's hand for a moment, turned her head and instructed her mother-in-law,

"Tell Steward Ma, this Zou Yingnian has nothing to do with our house, and the gifts that fell from the sky can't be received, so return it."

"Yes"

The mother-in-law respectfully agreed, took the gift list from the jade board, and withdrew.

Li Xiaonuan watched her mother-in-law go out, and her heart was disgusted, in this world, there are some things, some reasons and courtesies, she still can't accept it.

After being busy for a while, it was straightened out, and gradually the time of the council became shorter again, and Li Xiaonuan listened to the mother-in-law in the council hall and went to the main courtyard.

The princess instructed Li Xiaonuan,

"There are no outsiders, let's not have so many rules, you sit down, eat with me, after dinner, I still have something to discuss with you."

Li Xiaonuan didn't say much, and agreed with a smile, Xia He and Qiu Gui hurriedly took a few little girls to set up dishes and chopsticks, waited for Li Xiaonuan to sit down, and waited for the two to eat.

After the meal, the princess leaned on the couch in the east wing, took the tea served by Li Xiaonuan, took a sip, motioned for Li Xiaonuan to sit down, withdrew the maiden who was waiting in the house, and said with a smile:

"It's not a big deal, you know, in this yard, I will be eighteen years old after the New Year, and there are two big girls next to me, Chuncao and Dongmei."

Li Xiaonuan nodded hurriedly, the princess looked at Li Xiaonuan, and then said:

"These girls, who have been waiting for me all these years, have always done their best, they are all sensible and polite children, I am distressed by all of them, and now that they are older, they want to get married, so they naturally want them to marry more smoothly. A few days ago, I asked these two girls in the air, Dongmei is okay, someone in the family asks for a kiss, she herself is willing, I also let people inquire, it is a very good kiss, I will be relieved, it is spring grass, but I am stumped. ”

The princess said at length, Li Xiaonuan listened attentively to the princess's words, smiled and kept nodding her head, expressing her approval,

"Chuncao, this girl, has a gentle temper, and people are also very careful, all these years, she has been the big girl in my house, not to mention Xia He, a few of them, even Mama Qiu and those outside the housekeeper, they also respect her, and her mother is the girl who married me earlier, but unfortunately died early......"

The princess sighed heavily and sadly, paused, and then looked at Li Xiaonuan, and continued in embarrassment:

"This girl actually told me that she wanted to be in your yard and went to wait for Xiao Ke."

Li Xiaonuan blinked, the princess's brows furrowed, and she became even more embarrassed,

"Xiao Ke's temper, the girl around him since he was a child, he has to pick his own satisfaction before he is willing to use, this spring grass thinks, he doesn't nod, I don't dare to accept it, these two days I thought, now you are in charge of these things in the house, she wants to go to your yard again, this person, I will hand it over to you, you look at the placement, it is best to follow her wishes, if Xiao Ke is really awkward, you don't want to fight with him, Xiao Ke's temper, but no one dares to talk to him If Xiao Ke really refuses, don't be reluctant, so I have to choose a good family for her to marry."

Li Xiaonuan blinked her eyes with embarrassment, lowered her eyes and nodded in agreement, thought about it, looked up at the princess and suggested:

"Mother's instructions, I wrote down, but this person, or wait by the mother's side first, the master should come back in a few days, I first found a chance to visit the master, if he is willing, wait for the festival to pick up people over, the New Year's Festival, the mother here is complicated, if she leaves, the new person can't take over for a while, wronged the mother is not good."

Yesterday I was busy late, cough, I owe a watch, when will I make up for it? This question, ahem, is far away.

Today's first chapter, before two o'clock in the afternoon.

Dear to you.
