The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held amid laughter.

Liu Yong said to his wives, of course, the forty-nine were also his wives. Legal wife. He said to them, "Don't let him be emperor tonight, but only husband." Don't be inhibited, it's a family reunion dinner. Say what you want, laugh when you want to laugh. Eat whatever you want. Drink whatever you want.

And so, the laughter came.

In the Tianchen Palace, there are a total of eight tables. The New Year was lively.

Liu Yong's sons are not married yet, and they are all at the same table. Yanping also returned from Lion City Island with a thousand catties of gold.

Liu Yong still misses Yanping very much. He was the only son who wasn't by his side. What you do is also the most important. Not only do you have to manage the Lion City Island's industry, but you also have to take care of South Africa's gold mines. It seems that he has spent all this year at sea.

And this year, Yanping is already twenty-one years old, and Liu Yong feels that it is time to marry him. Regarding the choice of the princess, he also handed over this power to Yanping himself, as well as his mother Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou had long put her eldest son's marriage in her heart, and she had already looked for it in Tian'an Mansion. Her requirements for her eldest son's new daughter-in-law are still very high. Not so easy to pick.

And Liu Yong means to let Yanping choose by himself, and it is best to get an activity to choose a princess.

Lin Qingrou said that this is not good, His Majesty has not chosen a concubine with great fanfare, and a prince is even more impossible. She just said that it would be good to send the message out.

Liu Yong was right when he thought about it, let out the wind, and there would be more people who came to the door to propose marriage. Yanping also has a choice. It's a good idea.

He said to his son: "Yanping, don't you rush back to Lion City Island after the New Year, your father will marry you." ”

Yanping said: "It is up to the father to decide. ”

In the first year, Lin Qingrou spread the news to Tian'an Mansion. She doesn't pay attention to the right person, only pays attention to affection.

In this way, even ordinary women have to think about whether they can be princesses.

Of course, a woman must also be a talented woman, at least she must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Looks, ugly ones don't work anyway. The door wind at home should also be good.

Although the conditions are broad, ordinary women do not dare to measure it. After all, this is the emperor's son's choice of wife. In fact, only the little ladies of the small rich family have the opportunity and conditions to study and practice.

Of course, there is no matchmaker during the Chinese New Year. And the matchmaker can't enter the palace when he comes to the door. Outside the palace, Lin Qingrou set up a reception room.

Speaking of setting up a reception room for his son's wife, this is the first time, Lin Qingrou's first initiative. It seems that she has worked hard to choose a beautiful woman for her eldest son.

The reception room will directly brush out some non-eligible, record the eligibility, and let Yanping choose by himself.

As a prince, this kind of treatment is also rare. The prince's marriage is basically linked to politics. Generally, most of them are the daughters of powerful ministers in the court.

Of course, this time, the ministers of the court and those who have daughters are also eager to try. It is a great honor to be related to the royal family.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is just like an ordinary big family. At the dinner table, they talked and laughed, and they were happy. Liu Yong likes this kind of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In front of his family, he didn't want to be a king. He just wants to be the head of the family.

At the wine table, anyone can toast him, or exchange a glass of wine with him, making a lot of noise.

Those girls were all eighteen or nineteen years old, and with the large number of people, for a while, the whole hall was full of their laughter.

Lin Qingrou looked at them laughing and playing, shook her head with a smile, and sighed: "Hey! It's better to be young! ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "Didn't the queen also come from a young age?" ”

Ouyang Lanlan and the others all smiled, but there was more or less melancholy in their smiles. The kind of melancholy that is too old and youth is gone.

Lin Qingrou just smiled.

Liu Yong said: "There is a time when it is good. Like you, you are graceful and magnificent, which is what these little girls do not have. Youth is good, but prosperity is also good. ”

It is obvious that Liu Yong is comforting his wives. They are indeed old, and although their charm still exists, they are still incomparable to these little girls.

After drinking a few packets, Liu Yong took her to watch singing and dancing, and eat some tea and fruits.

At the third watch, the fireworks show begins.

And then, and then it was gone. The emperor will also take the harem to various worships early tomorrow morning. It's not over until you're busy working on the first day of the new year.

The military department in the second year of junior high school is still at work. Wu Qing deployed the final arrangement. I'm waiting for the day of the 10th day of the new year. And Liu Yong also started his work on the second day of junior high school. Of course, the most important task at the moment is the preparation for war in the west.

Wu Qing came to report and said, "Your Majesty, report it quickly yesterday." Both parts of the crew have been deployed. Only wait until the hour comes, and the war will begin. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Okay, don't startle the snake during this period." ”

Wu Qing said: "This has been explained. According to the time, the Yaori Department on the west side has begun to surrender. ”

Liu Yong said: "I hope it can go smoothly on his side." ”

Wu Qing said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, our military department has made sufficient plans. Just in case. The minister thought that the Yao Ribu side would also make some unexpected plans. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Well, that's good." Now we are waiting for the day of the tenth day of the new year. ”

Wu Qing said: "Your Majesty, now every five days, the military department can receive information from the front. ”

Liu Yong said: "Well, fortunately, we first built official roads and dense post stations. In this way, the speed of information transmission is accelerated. ”

Wu Qing said: "Yes, Your Majesty, otherwise, these thousands of miles of road, even the fastest horse will take more than ten days, and now the time is directly shortened by half." It seems that this road construction is really a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "This is also the credit of the Ministry of Science and Technology, they have studied asphalt." This asphalt road is now being laid in various provinces. When everything is repaired, then our transportation will be on the next level. ”

Wu Qing deeply admired Liu Yong's wisdom in his heart. For thousands of years, no one would have thought that cypress trees could be used to smelt an oil that could pave roads.

He admired and sighed in his heart, and said on his lips: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a five-body cast person who admires His Majesty's wisdom!" Your Majesty is truly the God of Wisdom in Heaven! ”

Listening to Wu Qing's praise, Liu Yong laughed. I'm not a god, I'm just a modern man in the afterlife.
