Mei'er lay on the edge of the window of the embroidery building, looking at the snow outside through the gap of inches, since the eldest brother brought the letter, she has not walked out of the embroidery building for a whole month, her father told me to understand, you can only be sick during this time, those medicines, you have to fry three bowls on time every day, put them in the room, and smoke out the room with a smell of medicine.

Mei'er had no choice but to respond, listening to the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the house, she knew that the eldest brother and the princess and sister-in-law were back, and she also wanted to visit the princess and sister-in-law, but since the old father said in front of the eunuch who passed the decree that day, he was lingering on the sickbed, and the eldest brother's letter made it clear, now even the emperor thinks that he is sick, if the princess finds that Miss Luofu is very violent, wouldn't it be a big crime to bully the king?

So Mei'er could only fall ill, and the illness was repeated, quite strict, the princess said at the family banquet that she would come to visit, but Luo Shanren said again and again, the princess came back this time to carry out the marriage ceremony, and now the ceremony has not been officially carried out, can not be hit by the patient's mildew, or wait for the marriage to say, the princess thinks about it is also reasonable, so she will put the matter aside for the time being.

Luo Shanren was afraid of being exposed, and after the family banquet to welcome the princess, he specially rushed to the embroidery building where he did not live, and handed the jade box to Mei'er, who opened the jade box and looked at the round pearls inside, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Dad, pearls of this color are quite precious, but there are a lot of stocks in our house, right?"

"That's different, this is a reward from the emperor, you have to take it on time, it's good, after a few days, you can speak to the outside world, eat the elixir brought by the inner courtyard of the palace, your body is better, and at that time, you can go out generously and meet the prince and princess."

Luo Shanren solemnly instructed Qinghe Cuixi and the two of them to crush a pearl every day for the young lady to swallow, and the etiquette of the sister-in-law to meet the princess and sister-in-law is still necessary, he thought that after Mei'er took the pearl for a few days, he said to the princess that he would rely on the South China Sea pearl given by the emperor, and now that he is in good health, he can come to see such a bedridden lie and cover it up.

Mei'er heard that the prince had also come to the house, and asked unexpectedly, "Is the prince also there?" ”

Luo Shanren bowed his head and said: "Exactly, but you don't have to worry, just at the family banquet, I think the prince is very generous, polite in words, not those pompous court children, when you meet the princess and sister-in-law, if you meet the prince, you can say hello as usual." ”

Mei'er sighed, picked up a South China Sea pearl casually, and handed it to Qinghe: "According to what Daddy said, grind this pearl into powder." ”

Luo Shanren glanced at his daughter thoughtfully, and stopped talking.

When the wedding ceremony was over, it was already close to Chinese New Year's Eve, and the prince, accompanied by his brother-in-law, had been touring inside and outside Los Angeles in the past few days, and he actually had the intention of lingering, and decided to spend the New Year in Los Angeles and then set off to return to Beijing.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Luofu slaughtered sheep and pigs, all kinds of raw seafood, fresh vegetables and vegetables were sent into the room, the food of the Luoshan family on weekdays was fine enough, now the prince and the princess are in the mansion, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is even more sloppy, the six chefs in the kitchen did their best to cook a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with all the colors and aromas.

After paying homage to his ancestors, Luo Shanren took his two sons to the Xianjin Pavilion where Prince Yuyuan stayed, and respectfully invited the prince to the hall, and then, Luo Junxi and his younger brother Junxuan went to the Yunwu Building where they lived, and respectfully invited Princess Mingzhu to sit at the table.

In the hall, the candles were brilliant, Prince Yuyuan and Princess Mingzhu sat on the main seat, Ma Junxi sat next to the princess, and Luo Shanren and the second son Luo Junxuan sat under the prime minister after confessing their crimes.

The princess swept her eyes left and right, and suddenly said, "Master, hasn't my sister-in-law's illness improved yet?" Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the family should be reunited, we are here to celebrate, but she has to stay alone in the boudoir, isn't it beautiful? ”

Luo Shanren hurriedly stood up and said: "Back to the princess, after the little girl took the South China Sea pearls sent by the princess in the past few days, her condition has improved greatly, but she has not completely recovered, I am afraid of coughing up, so I didn't ask her to come out to eat together, and asked the small kitchen to get her another table of meals to send." ”

The princess smiled: "That's not necessary, pass on my words, let my sister-in-law also come to the hall to eat together, I have been back for so long, I should go to visit the sick sister-in-law, but a few days ago the mundane affairs were not finished, but now all the troubles have settled, those red tape will be avoided, and the uncle is the first six years of marriage, could it be that the sister-in-law will also be closed in the embroidery building at that time?" Isn't that too aggrieved? ”

Luo Shanren smiled and said: "Yes, the princess thinks carefully, Mother Zhang, go to the embroidery building for a trip, let the young lady freshen up, and come to the hall to meet the prince and the princess's sister-in-law." ”

Zhang's mother took the order and turned around.

Mei'er was sitting in the embroidery room at the moment, in a daze at a table of delicacies sent by her father, she didn't know what kind of lively scene it was outside, Cui Xi saw that Miss was just sitting in a daze, so she put a chicken leg in the bowl for her, and said softly: "Miss, eat quickly, otherwise the dish will be cold." ”

Mei'er picked the chicken leg with chopsticks and sighed lamentingly: "Big brother only came back once in five years, and he became a horse, a rare family reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve, but I have to be trapped in the room, it's really boring." ”

Cui Xi also looked unlucky, and complained in a low voice: "That's it, the master is really old and confused, why do you want the young lady to pretend to be sick?" This outfit is more than a month, we haven't been able to see the grand occasion of the eldest son marrying the princess, but the second son married Miss Zhang on the sixth day of the first year, by then you will also be trapped in the embroidery building, not allowed to go out? ”

Mei'er threw away the chopsticks and muttered: "God knows"

When the master and servant were enjoying themselves, there was a strong knock on the door outside the room: "Miss, Miss, the master ordered, you should freshen up and go to the front hall immediately, everyone is waiting for you to eat together?" ”

Qinghe cheered, opened the door with one hand, and saw Zhang's mother standing at the door panting.

"You two, hurry up and wait for the young lady to freshen up, the prince and princess are waiting, you can't delay for a quarter of an hour, hurry!"

"Ah, it's so urgent, soon, Mom Zhang, you go back first, and within half an hour, our custodian lady will appear in the hall neatly."

Qinghe Cuixi was really fast, less than half an hour. Mei'er has changed into a light red dress, plus a big red cape, Cuixi wants to smear some rouge on the young lady, Mei'er frowned and pushed away: "I am recovering from a serious illness at the moment, the more haggard the better, and the ornaments on the head should not be too much, just need this light cyan hairpin." ”

Mei'er pushed open the door, tonight there was a north wind and light snow, bird's feather snow fluttered down like rain and dust, the dark sky was inlaid with countless shining stars, she looked up at the starry sky, and subconsciously shrunk her hand into her sleeve.

There are springs, summers, autumns and winters in the world, but I don't know if there is one in the sky?

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, I join my family for the New Year, how about you? Is it also a happy family, eating a New Year's dinner in a fairy territory that I don't know?

"Miss, what are you stunned about? Let's go. ”

Qinghe carried the lantern and urged with laughter.

Mei'er woke up like a dream, she walked to the front hall by the faint candlelight, the fragrance of plum blossoms and the sweet fragrance of food wafted along the way, she tried her best to adjust some rapid breathing, the people in the hall today, in addition to their familiar father and brother, there are two big people who can't afford to offend, although she has not been out of Los Angeles since she was a child, but she also knows the four words that Tianwei is unpredictable.

Mei'er hung her head and walked into the hall where she could walk dozens of back and forth with her eyes closed, Luo Shanren saw her daughter walking in, quickly stood up, and shouted: "You girl, why have you been grinding for so long!" Come and say hello to the prince and princess. ”

Mei'er whispered, "Yes." ”

She walked five feet away in front of the prince and the princess, and was about to kneel down, when Princess Mingzhu was already smiling and said, "Since you are sick, then you will be spared, come and sit here with me, and everyone will eat together." ”

Mei'er still knelt down respectfully and made a big salute, and confessed to the prince and the princess in the voice of Yingying, the princess heard Mei'er's weak voice, thinking that it was a serious illness, and she was lacking in qi, so she immediately asked the palace maid around her to pick her up.

"It's all my own family, no need to be polite, come here."

Mei'er hung her head and walked to the princess's side, she glanced at her father with a little hesitation, and Luo Shanren smiled: "Your sister-in-law asked you to sit next to her, this is your blessing, then sit down!" ”

Mei'er bent her knees beside the princess and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for giving me a seat." He sat down.

Prince Jiyuan smiled and said, "Now that everyone is gathered, let's start the banquet!" ”

The prince gave an order, and the wine and food were sent up like flowing water, and everyone here was rich and noble, and they ate a lot of delicacies on weekdays, and today's feast, although exquisite, could fall in their eyes, and it was also very commonplace.

On weekdays, Luo Shanren's family banquet is full of laughter, but recently there are two great gods in the house, and they are jealous in their hearts, as long as they eat on the same stage with the prince and princess during this time, Luo Shanren and Luo Junxuan both made a muffled gourd, just bowed their heads and picked up vegetables, and they would not speak, of course, today is no exception.

Mei'er felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, so she didn't dare to make a mistake, but just sat in her position obediently, bowing her head and drinking ginseng soup.

"Mei'er, I heard that you are not feeling well, I don't know if you have taken the South China Sea pearls in the palace, can you improve?"

Mei'er put down the soup, raised her eyes and smiled, and said: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, since I got the elixir brought by my sister-in-law, I feel that my body is already very good, I thought about coming to see my sister-in-law a few days ago, but my sister-in-law was busy with the wedding ceremony at that time, Mei'er was afraid of disturbing my sister-in-law, so I postponed it until now, and asked for forgiveness." ”

When the princess saw her, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she blurted out: "It's really good." ”

When Prince Jiyuan heard this, his eyes turned slightly, touching the beautiful and elegant face beside his sister, and he was stunned, and the chopsticks in his hand snapped and fell to the ground.
