71. Chinese New Year's Eve

"Mom!" As soon as Qingcheng heard this, he hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "I can also do it!" Besides, Hongxing said that she came to guard, why did she change it! Mom..."As she spoke, Qingcheng hugged Xie's mother's arm and coquettishly.

"You, I'm thankful that my hands and feet can have half of the red apricots!" Mother Xie pushed her angrily, but who knew that Qingcheng hugged her tightly, and she couldn't push it away for a while, so Mother Xie had to give up.

"I..."Qingcheng knew that he was at a loss, but he still didn't give up: "I think you're all around, and you'll help me if you slow down, right?" ”

Lan Xue's eyes widened and she took the words: "If it's just on weekdays, what kind of occasion is today, it's a blessing that I can do my part well, how can I help others?" I don't dare to respond to this! ”

Qingcheng bit her lip, as if tears welled up in her eyes, seeing that Mother Xie and Lan Xue couldn't understand, she could only look at Lin Mu'er pitifully: "Master..."

Lin Mu'er put down the teacup and deliberately didn't look at Qingcheng's pleading eyes, she didn't pay attention to it just now, this will be in the car, several people are dressed in plain and elegant clothes, Qingcheng's clothes are too eye-catching, since Mother Xie and Lan Xue both agreed not to let Qingcheng go to the dinner to serve, naturally there are their considerations. After all, if such a dress is made a note by someone with a heart, the palace will be criticized not to mention, but there is no good fruit to eat in green oranges, so he said with a faint smile: "It's really a silly girl, this is my mother and Lan Xue feel sorry for you!" Do you really think that it is comfortable at the dinner party, not to mention that you have to stand for a few hours, and you have to be busy for a moment, you are in the carriage, you can sit and sit if you want, lie down if you want, why not? If I were you, I'd love to stay in the carriage!" ”

Lin Mu'er said it easily, but Qingcheng suddenly collapsed a little face, as if she was about to cry! Hongxing also looked at everyone a little helplessly, and couldn't understand why everyone suddenly didn't let Qingcheng go to the dinner to serve, so she had to look at Qingcheng with an apologetic face!

Qingcheng pouted, twisted the handkerchief and turned his back, and silently sulked: Yesterday, I showed off fiercely in front of the little girls in the house, but now the master didn't let me follow and wait, and only let myself stay in the carriage, wouldn't I even be able to enter the palace gate? If so, won't they be laughed at to death when they go back?

Knowing that Qingcheng was not happy, everyone didn't care about her, just checking what they needed to bring, Lin Mu'er let everyone eat some snacks to pad their stomachs, but they were too busy to take care of themselves later.

Today's snowy day, coupled with the fact that the palaces of various princes and nobles are going to the palace, for a while, the official road is also busy, and by the time the carriage of the Jin Wangfu arrives at the palace gate, there are already many carriages parked on the side of the road! Lan Xue stepped out of the carriage first, handed over the waist card of the Jin Palace, and after a while, the inner supervisor came over with a soft sedan chair.

"Master, get on the sedan chair!" Mother Xie carried Lin Mu'er on the sedan chair, this sedan chair is simpler, I'm afraid it won't block the wind much, Mother Xie didn't worry, so she tucked Lin Mu'er's big sedan and folded it, and then withdrew.

Qingcheng finally came out with some bits and pieces

The carriage, before getting out of the car, whispered to Qingcheng: "Don't be angry, if there is anything delicious on the table, I will bring it back to you, and I won't eat a bite!" ”

"Humph!" Qingcheng turned his head, did not accept the love of Hongxing, and said in his heart: Who wants to eat!

Although it is a light snow, the bluestone slabs in the palace have already been cleaned, and the festive red carpet has been paved, and even the trees on both sides of the road are also dressed up. However, in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, even if so many important ministers and nobles entered the palace today, they did not hear any noise, and it seemed that the rustle of snowflakes could be heard quietly!

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was placed in the Wuying Hall, and when I got closer, I vaguely heard the sound of silk and bamboo! The inner supervisors fell off the sedan chair on the steps in front of the Wuying Palace, and Mother Xie and others carried Lin Mu'er out.

"Master, why are your hands so cold?" Mother Xie inadvertently touched Lin Mu'er's hand, her fingers were cold, and she asked worriedly.

Lin Mu'er smiled and shook her head, how could she dare to say that she had flinched a little? After all, today, the magnates of the Great Liang Kingdom gathered together, this kind of battle, I am not timid, I am afraid that it is a bit too big, but when I say it, it makes Xie Ma and a few people worried, so I said with a smile: "It's okay, the sedan chair is not as cold as the carriage!" ”

Mother Xie didn't doubt him, so she had to pull Lin Mu'er's collar up and down, Lan Xue stuffed a few purses for the inner prisoners, and also walked over, seeing that the sky was gloomy, and I didn't know if there was a blizzard or it was really late, a few people didn't dare to delay, and walked to the hall with their feet up!

When I got closer, I found that the people in the hall were noisy, the laughter and wine were endless, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music was beautiful, which was different from the coldness that had just been walked all the way, and even, from such a distance, I could smell the aroma of the spirits!

The little eunuch at the door was a clever one, and when he saw Lin Mu'er coming, he ran up and bowed down to say goodbye: "The slave has seen the princess of Jin, and the princess is a thousand years old!" ”

"Get up!" Lin Mu'er nodded, and Lan Xue stepped forward and stuffed a purse over.

Which of the eunuchs in the palace is not a human spirit, as soon as he touches his fingers, he knows the weight of the red envelope, and he is happy to see his teeth and eyes, so he gets up and lets go of the side, and his singing voice seems to be a little higher than usual: "Princess Jin is here!" ”

The shrill voice of the little eunuch covered the noise in the hall, making the hall quiet for a while, Lin Mu'er's face did not change, and he helped Mother Xie and said, "Let's go!" ”

Lan Xue and Qingcheng bent down behind them, today is the first time that Niangniang has appeared on such a big occasion, she must not make a mistake and fall into Niangniang's face!

The people are worried, why didn't Lin Mu'er panic? Today is his first official appearance, and the rumors about himself before are mostly unbearable, such an unbearable person, holding the power of the Jin Palace, occupying the favor of the emperor, a strange vision is essential, and he doesn't care about these, I'm afraid that some people will make things out of nothing and disturb their pure little life in vain!

The half-foot-high threshold, the warm breeze mixed with the smell of alcohol, and even a few inquiring eyes shot through the crowd! Lin Mu'er stood still and steady

With a calm expression, he took Mother Xie's hand across the threshold and walked towards the hall...

As soon as he entered the Yingwu Palace, a little palace maid immediately came forward to lead the way, all the way, although no one discussed, but there were not a few curious and inquisitive eyes, Lin Mu'er's seat was on the top, and where he passed, the husband and the minister got up and saluted, Lin Mu'er smiled, with a light and breezy appearance, but he didn't know that the clenched Dankou finger had already fallen into the flesh of the palm, and it hurt to cut his heart......

Lin Mu'er sat down, glanced up, most of them didn't know each other, and they were more familiar with the generalissimo's mansion lady Yin Qiguang and the prince Cui Shi, the two of them saw Lin Mu'er looking over, and they also got up and saluted, Lin Mu'er smiled, nodded, and seemed to accept this gift. The dragon in the hall burned very much, even if he took off the big gun, Lin Mu'er also felt a little sweat on his back at this time, this will not be even when people arrive, sitting in twos and threes, I am afraid that there will be a while, Lin Mu'er has no good friends with the ladies of the family to talk to each other to pass the time, so he has to hold the shelf, bored to look at the singing and dancing in the central venue.

Although there are still people who look at Lin Mu'er from time to time, but Lin Mu'er is also deaf, doesn't care, and looks at his song and dance with peace of mind, but the time of the two songs, most of the people have arrived one after another, and the sound of greeting and chatting with each other overshadows the sound of dance and music, Lin Mu'er frowned, this noisy Wuying Hall is as unbearable as a shrew butcher's noisy city, sighed, simply didn't look at it, and took the opportunity to be familiar with the powerful ministers of the Great Liang Dynasty!

There are two rows of tables and stools at the top of his own, and the emperor has not yet established a prince, even if the prince is noble, it is impossible to sit on his head, and he thinks that he is the seat of the uncles and elders of the royal family; At a glance, there are only a few people I know, Lin Mu'er sighed secretly, thinking about it, I am most familiar with Mrs. Lin, the head of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, this will, she is in full swing with several other ladies laughing and talking, including the round-faced lady who sang and harmonized with Mrs. Lin in the corridor of Princess He'an's Mansion that day, she is also on this occasion, I am afraid that the status of the husband's family is not low. Seeing that Lin Mu'er had been looking over there, Lan Xue lowered her body and asked softly, "What's the matter with the master?" ”

Lin Mu'er retracted her eyes and smiled: "No, that round-faced lady, I don't know whose family it is?" ”

Lan Xue glanced at it and continued: "Master, which is the wife of Lord Wang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Qing, who made trouble in Taoyao Pavilion before, is her son!" ”

I see! Lin Mu'er knew in her heart that she had such a festival with herself, otherwise how could she sing and harmonize with Mrs. Lin on such an occasion? However, he is also a person who understands current affairs, and when he saw himself entering, he held back and didn't say a word! The corners of Lin Mu'er's mouth pulled out a hint of ridicule: Wang Qing sentenced him to exile, and the son who grew up in the gentle township went to a bitter cold place, I am afraid that he will either die or be injured, and this Liang Zi will not be able to solve it!

Lin Mu'er came back to her senses, looked at the dazzling array of melons and fruits on the table, and picked a red and purple grape, green

The green onion-like jade fingers gently peeled off the skin, the grape juice was immediately stained with the fingertips, the skin was peeled off, the flesh was green and clear, and the mouth was aroused, and the grapes were put in the mouth, well, sweet and sour, and I ate two or three before I stopped! In this cold winter, it took a lot of thought to be able to eat such fresh grapes, Lin Mu'er took the silk handkerchief handed over by Lan Xue, and carefully wiped his fingers stained with grape juice.

Just as she was wiping, Princess He'an came over with a group of royal relatives of the same age at the entrance of the hall, and all of a sudden, the voice in the hall was a little quieter, and everyone rushed to stand up and salute.

Because she was an elder, Lin Mu'er also stood up, Lan Xue stood behind Lin Mu'er, lowered her voice and quietly prompted: "Master, the rich and noble next to Princess He'an is Prince An, according to the seniority, you have to call uncle, and behind is his princess; The one holding the folding fan in his hand is the king of Lijun, the seventh brother of our prince; The one who wears a phoenix and a peony on her head is Princess Yuehua, you can call her third sister, next to her concubine; The young one is the son of Prince Mo, the old lady is seriously ill this year, and Prince Mo is serving his filial piety in front of the sickbed, so he sent the prince over..."

Lan Xue said carefully, Lin Mu'er listened carefully, and it was difficult for Lan Xue to nest in Weiyue Ju all day long, and the twists and turns of these royal relatives were clearly felt.
