Hua Ying faced their difficulties, her face was pale, she just smiled and got up: "Concubine Ling is too famous, no matter how good the concubine's family is, she is also a subject of the emperor, isn't it?"

Concubine Ling didn't understand why she mentioned the emperor, and glanced at the emperor on the high seat, but she didn't rashly continue to make things difficult for Hua Ying: "That's natural, this palace is just to see that my sister's jewelry is good-looking, and there is no other meaning." ”

"The concubine understands." Hua Ying also knew that Concubine Ling was a smart person: "This pigeon blood ruby is still rewarded by the emperor, and the concubine is a cheesy person, I don't know how to use this pigeon blood ruby. ”

Concubine Ling heard that it was rewarded by the emperor, no wonder she was so bold, and remembered that the emperor rarely rewarded herself with such a valuable thing, so she had to force a smile: "My sister is blessed, how can you say that it is not yours." ”

The emperor didn't speak on it, looking at Hua Ying's niezi mixed with pride and pride, he said those words, thinking that this pigeon's blood ruby was really right, no wonder she said before that she also loved money, and the thoughts of her daughter's family, the emperor now understands it somewhat.

"Today is a New Year's banquet and a family banquet, so you don't have to be restrained." The emperor picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.

"Brother Huang is right, and from the perspective of the younger brother, you should wear more festive clothes for the New Year, are you right, Queen Mother?"

It is the ninth son of the emperor who spoke, Prince Li Yunjue, who is twenty and three, he has a lively temperament, and he is also the only biological son of the queen mother, and it is said that he has a very good relationship with the emperor.

The Queen Mother looked at her son with a loving face: "Yun Jue is right. ”

"The ninth brother is still the same as before, I heard that your concubine Fujin is happy?"

"That's right," Speaking of his own Fujin, Prince Li's smile was more genuine, it seemed that he really liked his own Fujin, I heard that many official ladies used the draft for Prince Li to choose, but Prince Li only chose an ordinary girl who was not so brilliant: "It is estimated that in the summer of next year, the younger brother will be able to be the father." ”

Hua Ying asked the Jing nobleman next to her in a low voice: "Why doesn't Prince Jili have a child in his twenties?"

"You don't know, Prince Li threatened to marry only one wife in his life, but the Fujin he married didn't have a son after five years of marriage, and the Queen Mother was so anxious that she sent some concubines, but Prince Li turned a deaf ear, and now he was finally pregnant, and he was very happy, but today that Fujin is uncomfortable, and you can't see it."

"Is there such a man in the world?" Hua Ying was surprised, even her harmonious Eniang and Ama had a two-bedroom side room at home.

"It is said that any woman can have a husband like Prince Li, she is fortunate to have three lives, but there are also many people who think that Prince Li is not a normal person, but the emperor and the queen mother connived, no one dares to say irresponsible things."

Hua Ying sighed secretly: "Indeed, which woman can marry such a man, it is really a blessing for three lives." "The little envy in my heart is not fake, it is really touching that the royal children can still be so single-minded, but maybe it is precisely because of this that the emperor will be so relieved of this Prince Li.

Prince Li's biological mother, the Queen Mother, is a Mongolian princess, and she is equivalent to having the support of the Mongolian army behind her, but he looks dashing, and he only marries a family-like wife, and he guards this wife like jade, such a person is impossible to be an emperor.

"Brother Eleven didn't come today? Still sick?" The emperor asked.

Although the former emperor had dozens of sons, only the third prince Ye Ji Prince Yongshuo is still alive, which was a great help to the emperor at the beginning; And Prince Li just now, there is only one eleventh prince, Prince Yong Yunle, Prince Yong was born in poor health, I thought he would die early like the eighth son of the first emperor, but fortunately survived until now, but major and minor illnesses continued.

Prince Ji seemed to be silent, and when he heard the emperor ask, he said: "Yes, every winter, the eleventh brother will always be infected with wind and cold and other diseases. ”

"I've already asked a number of imperial doctors to take a look." The emperor also seems to feel particularly sorry for this younger brother, Prince Yong was originally Baylor, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he was promoted to prince: "Yunle is already fourteen years old, and he should marry in two years, but he ......" I'm afraid that no one will marry him."

Seeing that the emperor's mood was gradually depressed, the queen raised the cup smartly: "The concubines and sisters wish the emperor a new year, the country and the people, and the four seasons of prosperity!"

The emperor seemed to notice his gaffe: "Good! I must drink this wine. ”

All the concubines and princesses also got up: "Daqi country, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the four seasons are prosperous!"

Perhaps because of the New Year, Hua Ying, who is usually not sentimental, suddenly missed the Chinese New Year's Eve meal they made together when they were in the mansion. Her parents and her three older brothers and one younger brother gathered in the kitchen, and the things they made were not pretty, but they were happy enough, and the memories of fighting with each other and smearing flour on their bodies while cooking with them are also unforgettable.

"Huixin, you see that time flies so fast, more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye." Hua Ying watched the fireworks blooming outside, and it seemed that the palace was extremely deserted, for fear of disturbing the Queen Mother and the emperor, the palace had not allowed them to be put all along, at most a small string of firecrackers were placed in her yard.

Hui Xin also followed her eyes, saying that when she was in the house, when she was a child, she and Lan Yu also played with the little master with the small fireworks that could be held in the hand, at that time, the little master was smart and tight, and Lan Yu deceived the fourth son into a small firework, the fourth son was in a hurry to cry, Lan Yu panicked, and returned it to the fourth son, and the little master joked on the side whether Lan Yu would marry the fourth son in the future

Who doesn't have a little expectation for the future, Huixin also fantasized about having a husband who loves her in the future, and at that time she was still in love with the third prince, fantasizing that the two would get married and have children together, and now that she has entered the palace, she has no intention of going out, because the little lord is the person she firmly wants to protect.

Hui Xin's mind was full of thoughts, and when she shook her senses, she was still disturbed by a lively voice: "Sister Ying! It's so boring to be alone in the palace on the first day of the new year, I called Sister Xiu and Yu Changzai over, let's be happy together, but it's a pity that Jing Guiren is pregnant, so I won't toss her. ”

Hua Ying laughed: "What is happy or unhappy, where did you learn the nonsense, and I don't know how to teach you in the first place." ”

"Don't mention that time, I was going to be tired of my sister and me at the beginning, and now it seems that it is useless. Knowledgeable and courteous or something has nothing to do with me. ”

Yu Changzai was also nostalgic for his family, but he was directly pulled up by Ming Changzai, and he realized that it was not bad to know a pistachio: "Yes, others are favored either by being talented and artistic, or by being gentle and lovely, Ming Changzai is a special, the emperor likes that noisy energy, I don't know where it comes from." ”

"By the way, Sister Xiu will become a concubine in a while, congratulations to my sister in advance." Hua Ying remembered what the emperor said at that time, and looked at her who was sitting on the side watching the three of them fight.

Xiu Chang looked at it with little interest: "Yes, it was closed on an auspicious day recently, I don't care about these, it's worth it for Wen Ru." ”

Knowing that she didn't let go of her heart, Hua Ying no longer mentioned these depressing things, and Ming Changzai said: "You don't like to go out, I like to go out, I picked a lot of plum blossoms, and sent you a palace, this is Sister Ying's." ”

Looking at the few blooming plum blossoms inserted in the white jade bottle, Hua Ying thanked Hui and said: "Let's not talk nonsense, the highlight of tonight is to eat this meal, if you don't say it in advance, I will ask someone to prepare, it is estimated that the dishes are less, not so rich." ”

The emperor is now having dinner with the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and several of their little masters will also get together to eat, why not.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's enough to eat, the palace cooks so many dishes for me every day, I feel like I'm wasting food." As soon as Ming Chang heard about eating, he sat on the side first: "And sister, you have a small kitchen, you can cook a lot of dishes, I am pitiful, I have always picked a few kinds of food and served it to me since I was a child." ”

The other three little masters laughed when they heard her aggrieved tone: "You can tell the imperial dining room that you have those taboos." ”

"Huh? May I? I always thought that what to eat had to be according to the regulations! ”

"No, if you don't want to eat anything, just tell the imperial dining room, they will try to avoid it, you stupid girl." Xiu Chang was playing her brain.

"Oh, it hurts, didn't I pay attention to it, okay, let's serve it, let's serve it, it's a shame." Ming Chang covered her little head and said to Hua Ying: "Sister, tell them to ask for more chicken soup and sea mussels, I want to eat them." ”

"Okay, Huixin, you go tell me."

"You don't really think of yourself as an outsider." Jing Chang was teasing her, and Ming Chang was snorting: "I'm not an outsider in the first place." ”

"Ming'er is right, you can say whatever you want to eat, let the small kitchen do it, we have to eat and drink well today."

When the dishes were ready, the few of them gathered around the round table to make them, and Hua Ying instructed Qingxu to go and tell the people below that they should not be busy with work at this time, everyone would reward some broken silver, and then go get some food for dinner.

The subordinates have never met such a well-taken care of the little master, each of them is grateful to Dade, but the rules still have to be there, and the cozy makes them quiet so as not to provoke criticism, so they are happy that the other people in the palace only say that Hua Ying is a good little master, and they are more heartfelt to Hua Ying, and it also makes Hua Ying a famous good little master in the palace.
