Chapter 99: Chinese New Year's Eve
At the end of the lunar month, the taste of the New Year in the palace is more and more sufficient, and the mansion is full of lights, which is very festive.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and every year at this time, Sima Yao will set up a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, and the banquet invites all the royal family members and the nobles of the dynasty.
As a prince, Sima Daozi naturally should go, but he didn't go again, in order to enjoy some purity in the palace, Sima Yao had to order someone to send all the dishes to Sima Daozi's palace.
If he doesn't go, Wang Minhui and Sima Yuanxian will naturally be unable to go, as for the Liu family, as a concubine, they are not qualified to enter the palace.
Therefore, this big family had to spend their own Chinese New Year's Eve in the front yard and eat their own Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Wang Minhui took Sima Yuanxian to the front yard early.
Liu also came over soon after, since her miscarriage was over, she did not appear in everyone's sight for a long time, Wang Minhui suddenly saw her today, naturally there was a burst of arrangement.
As soon as she came in, Wang Minhui said in a weird way: "Yo, my sister's body is well-raised?" Seeing that you can walk around on your own, and you are still in good spirits, I don't know what supplements you have eaten, and you have raised them so well. ”
Liu naturally knew that she was ridiculing her, so he chuckled lightly and replied: "Sister, what are these words, it's been a long time, no matter how weak my body is, it should be okay, right?"
After she said that, she had already walked here and sat down, and when she saw that the table was full of dishes, all of which were plates from the palace, she was inevitably a little surprised, and asked casually, "What does this mean?"
Wang Minhui glanced at her sideways and said, "There was a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace today, and Wang Ye didn't go, so His Majesty ordered people to send all the dishes."
Liu has always had no rules, and when he heard that this was a dish in the palace, he immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dish, and said, "Your Majesty really has a heart," and after speaking, he put the dish into his mouth.
Wang Minhui naturally wouldn't say anything about her, but Sima Yuanxian was different.
What's more, Sima Yuanxian has always had some prejudices against Liu.
Seeing that the Liu family had transgressed the number of etiquette, Sima Yuanxian immediately opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Aunt Liu really doesn't know the etiquette at all!"
Liu Shi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and before he could swallow half of the food in his mouth, Sima Yuanxian continued: "My father hasn't come over yet, have you moved your chopsticks?" You Peijun Liu family was born, just such a little upbringing? Or is it because you are a concubine, and you have a mother and no mother?"
Sima Yuanxian, as the son of the world, is naturally qualified to teach the Liu family, but the Liu family is also a hard character, and has always refused to accept softness, Sima Yuanxian would be fine if he said a word, but he just got involved with the Peijun Liu family, and even more, he also said that the Liu family has a mother and no mother.
This is a big taboo for Liu, she naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately slapped the chopsticks in her hand heavily, making a sound.
Sima Yuanxian was shocked when he heard this, and Liu Shi immediately said: "The prince is educated, and I haven't seen when the prince has taken care of you."
When Sima Yuanxian heard this, he secretly became angry in his heart, and replied: "You! You ......"
Seeing the situation, Wang Minhui hurriedly interrupted and called, "Yuan Xian!"
Sima Yuanxian looked at her when he heard the call, and called out with a little grievance: "Mother concubine."
Wang Minhui said: "She is your aunt, you must not be rude to her."
Sima Yuan was slightly stunned, and even more aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to whisper: "Got it."
Liu smiled proudly and said sarcastically: "Without the discipline of my father, wouldn't there be a concubine here."
Wang Minhui was calm, and she didn't react when she heard this.
At this time, Xi Ping walked in, Wang Minhui noticed something, and looked at her on the side, she originally ordered Xi Ping to leave the Siyuan to summon Sima Daozi to come over for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but she didn't want Xi Ping to come back alone.
She immediately asked, "Why don't you see the prince?"
Xi Ping lowered his head slightly and replied, "The prince is not in the Lisi Academy."
Wang Minhui frowned slightly, the prince did not enter the palace, nor was he in the palace, where would he go......
"This Chinese New Year's Eve, is it going out?" She was slightly suspicious.
Xi Ping shook his head and said, "Impossible, the prince's carriage is still in the backyard, and the people in the front yard haven't seen the prince go out."
When Liu heard this, he had already guessed where Sima Daozi had gone, but Wang Minhui still looked suspicious, and then asked, "What about Ru Qianqiu, have you ever seen him?"
"No, he should be with the prince."
Wang Minhui's expression suddenly darkened, lowered her eyes slightly, and whispered, "Could it be that you went to Beiyuan......
Sima Yuanxian sat beside her, and naturally heard what she said, so he looked at her sideways, and was about to say something, but Liu answered: "Yes, sister, do you think, when will the prince treat us as a family?"
Wang Minhui was silent, and Liu Shi said again: "But that little goblin made Wang Ye ghostly, and look at this Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't even come back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."
Wang Minhui laughed at herself and didn't say anything, Sima Yuanxian finally asked, "Mother, who is from Beiyuan, but Sister Taoge?"
Liu chuckled, and said in a weird way: "I'm about to become your aunt's person, why do you still call my sister."
Sima Yuan was slightly stunned, Wang Minhui picked up the chopsticks at this time, and said lightly: "Since the prince is not coming, then we naturally don't need to wait for him anymore."
At that time in Beiyuan, Tao Ge was learning to make dumplings with Chun'er in the small kitchen, but he couldn't learn how to learn.
The dumplings that come out of the wrap are either not closed or look strange.
Chun'er also has the patience to teach her, but when she sees what she packs out, she can't help but laugh twice.
Tao Ge lost his patience anymore, so he threw off the dumpling skin in his hand casually, and said angrily: "What a mess, don't wrap it!"
Seeing her like this, Chun'er smiled and said, "Why should the girl have trouble with dumpling skins."
Tao Ge said: "I pondered, I must not be suitable for making dumplings."
Chun'er nodded and said, "Well, the girl is only suitable for eating dumplings."
Tao Ge sneered, then walked out, stood in the corridor in front of the door, looked at the goose feathers and snow falling in the sky, and her mouth suddenly twitched, at this time in previous years, she should have Chinese New Year's Eve eaten with Huan Yi in Miaoyin Fang, but now, Huan Yi is not there, not even her brother-in-law......
She stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes fell on her palm, and she withdrew her hand, wanting to take a closer look, but the snowflakes melted into water in an instant.
She said lightly: "I don't know if this snow is sweet or bitter......"
With that, she walked down and stepped on the thick snow in the courtyard.
With each step, the foot sank in a little.
Chun'er saw it in the small kitchen and hurriedly shouted, "Girl! Girl, it's cold outside. ”
Tao Ge didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't look back, Chun'er paused, suddenly sighed softly, lowered his head, stopped calling her, and wrapped dumplings by himself.
She probably knew what Taogo was thinking.
Tao Ge stood in the snow, under the old locust tree in the courtyard.
The snowflakes scattered on her head, slowly turning into snow and seeping into her hair, only to feel a chill hit.
Suddenly, it was as if something was covering the top of his head...... (To be continued.) )
