Time flies like a white horse, autumn enters winter, and in a blink of an eye it is approaching the Chinese New Year's Eve.

After being punished that day, Helan Fu was snubbed, but she didn't seem to realize it, but her face was happy, the cold wind outside, but the Chengming Hall was warm everywhere, and the servants of the Chengming Palace didn't know whether to worry or rejoice.

The Chinese New Year's Eve harem is routinely held for the Chinese New Year's Eve feast. This is an annual event, and no matter where you are in the palace, beauties and above need to go to the banquet.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lun Feng Hall of the banquet was bustling with beautiful people. Although this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is an annual event, it is held every year, and it is nothing more than some opera songs and dances, and in the end there is nothing new. But this year there is really a bit of freshness, because Emperor Nanzhao is inexplicably obsessed with face painting, and the concubines who came to the banquet are all painted on their faces in order to please the king. But I saw that those faces that were originally as beautiful as fairies were painted with strange grass, or depicted poems and freehand, and there were also some ingenious people who specially asked the master to write legendary stories, and a few only begged the king to smile, and they didn't care about the beauty and ugliness, and they were the ancient strange beasts that were legendary in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Under the candle fire for a while, but seeing half of the hibiscus face and half of the mottled shadow, the originally joyful Chinese New Year's Eve banquet added a little gloom, which frightened the Queen Mother a lot.

The Queen Mother was scared, after all, her son liked it, and she couldn't say anything. Huang Men, who was waiting beside her, was discerning and privately instructed the opera troupe to put on the lively repertoire to suppress the shock of the Queen Mother.

After three rounds of dishes, five flavors of wine, the palace is full of palace nobles, the waiting maid Huangmen is afraid that the cold wind in winter will freeze the nobles, the white jade charcoal does not need money to add up, plus His Royal Highness's noisy juggling team, the palace is baked until midsummer.

It's hot in this hall, and the strength of the wine is also up, and the beauties are so suffocated that their cheeks are like peach powder, and their eyes are like clear water, and they can't lose their body to untie their coats, so they can only endure it, and they will see the fragrant sweat in their foreheads after a while. Beauty is like jade, and the conjoined sweat is also fragrant, but the color smeared on the face can't withstand the drops of sweat, and it won't take long to mix up with colors, and those carefully painted paintings are even more muddy. Now the already mottled faces are even more terrifying, a ball of purple and a ball of green, the concubines want to laugh when they see the faces of others, and when they think about their own appearance, they are hesitant, and their expressions are really distorted. Emperor Nanzhao's face was even more ugly, as black as charcoal, if it weren't for the makeup he made by himself, I am afraid that he would have brushed his sleeves and left.

Su Lingyu was next to Emperor Nanzhao, and when she saw Jun Yihuang glancing at her, her eyes always seemed to be smiling, and she secretly took a look in the small mirror in her sleeve, and she was also depressed. Seeing the red candles spitting brightly, singing and dancing are thick, this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet still doesn't know how long it will be troublesome, Su Lingyu's position is quite conspicuous close to the head, dare not leave the table in vain, can only touch his cheeks from time to time, irritable, even drank a few glasses of water and picked up several seasonal fruits to eat, the heat of the front neck and back of the heart not only did not decrease, but I don't know if I ate mixed chest and nausea. Looking ahead again, Su Lingyu only felt that his vision was blurred, and he was in pairs, shook it, and leaned softly to the side.

Jun Yihuang looked straight ahead with a dignified expression, but in fact, the corner of her eyes kept sweeping Su Lingyu, seeing that her face was as musy as a big cat, she was secretly feeling funny, but she was surprised that Su Lingyu's expression was wrong, and she was about to ask when she saw someone suddenly crooked on the case.

The banquet was fried, Emperor Nanzhao had eaten enough of Helan Fu's closed-door soup some time ago, and then remembered the good supple temperament, plus missing the late queen, Su Lingyu was very fond of Su Lingyu these days. At this moment, seeing Su Lingyu fainting inexplicably, he urgently ordered the maid to help the person to the side hall to rest, and sent the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was chaotic, and the Queen Mother was displeased, but she could not blame the old and sick people. Jun Yihuang had already gone to the side hall with Su Lingyu, and the concubine Xin Gui was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and she couldn't be left behind on her face, so the first place at the banquet was empty in an instant, and the rest of the concubines below coveted each other in their hearts, and the smart and delicate ones stopped eating and continued to rinse their mouths with water, for fear that there was something wrong with the food.

Unexpectedly, just after the incense time, Emperor Nanzhao and Xin Guifei turned back to the hall, and the concubines under the seat saw Emperor Nanzhao full of joy, but Xin Guifei had a strange face, and saw Emperor Nanzhao whispering a few words in the Queen Mother's ear sideways, and the Queen Mother's expression immediately turned from anger to joy, and she suddenly guessed seven or eight points in her heart.

Sure enough, Emperor Nanzhao could not hide his joy, and said that Su Lingyu had been pregnant for nearly two months, and was named Jieyu on the same day, giving twenty horses to Ayaluo, a pearl, a pair of wishes, and ten maids from the Yellow Gate to serve carefully.

Although the concubines have their own thoughts, they celebrate with words, all of which are auspicious congratulations. There was no pregnancy in the palace for a long time, and Emperor Nanzhao heard the good news tonight, and his heart was happy, and the previous unhappiness disappeared, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet that was originally covered by black clouds finally ended happily.

At the end of the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Xia Ruoqing also returned to Chengming Hall with Helan Fu. The two washed up, Helan Fu also drank a lot of wine tonight, and fell asleep with a pillow, but Xia Ruoqing couldn't sleep on the bed, only felt that her chest was suffocated, so she simply put on her clothes and came to the backyard, and sat in the garden pavilion and was stunned by the moon.

Although the Xia family is in decline, her position has not been abolished, and today she still relies on Emperor Nanzhao to sit at the bottom right. I haven't seen her for nearly a year, but Emperor Nanzhao looked cold when he saw her. Xia Ruoqing had already guessed, but she could still deal with it with a normal heart. Later, Su Lingyu fainted, found out that she was pregnant, and Emperor Nanzhao sealed Su Lingyu to Jieyu in front of the concubines, and rewarded a number of objects. As soon as Xia Ruoqing thought of this, she thought of the fetus that died early in her womb in the past, and she couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart. In addition, Su Lingyu's father, Taifu Qing Su Hong, had been a lot of anger by the Xia Party openly and secretly, and now the Xia family was defeated, and Su Hong took advantage of the situation to impeach the Xia Party with three bullets in a row. Emperor Nanzhao was bent on reforming the official system and eliminating party friends, Su Hong's move coincided with the will of the king, and Emperor Nanzhao immediately pushed the boat down the river to strictly investigate, and listed several felonies on the head of the Xia family, and even Xia Ruoqing's mother and younger brother and sister were detained in prison.

She already hated Xia Ruoqing of the Su family, and now that she was born, she had no contact with Su Lingyu, so there was nothing she could do. Seeing the glory of her old enemy tonight, Xia Ruoqing only felt that her chest was burning with anger, she couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, it burned her insides, and her liver and intestines were broken.
