As he spoke, the Spring Festival of the seventeenth year of Hongwu arrived. The city of Jinling is full of liveliness, and there are lights everywhere inside and outside the city, and the shops and businesses on the street are all hung with red lanterns.

The city is getting more and more lively every year.

For them, this is not a simple rest to eat and drink, let alone a carnival, but a display of the results of their family's busy year.

The furnishings at home, the clothes of the family, and the wine and meat banquet for the New Year's hospitality are all full of the words "face" and "brilliance".

But for Lu Qianyan, he is generally interested in the New Year.

God will not throw a few tons of gold and silver at him for the New Year, on the contrary, every year, the inner money will bleed profusely. Even if there are gifts from the ministers, because Lu Qian said early on that extravagance and extravagance are prohibited, it is impossible to make ends meet!

Not to mention that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he had to get up early and go to the Fengxian Hall to offer incense first, and the Taimiao Temple had already been there a few days earlier. The big and small wives and children followed a large group, and after the ceremony, they came to see the family first. Then they had a meal together, and then the emperor sat upright in the Fengtian Temple, and hundreds of civil and military officials, and envoys of the vassal kingdom came to pay him New Year's greetings.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the officials of the Qin Tianjian announced that the time had arrived, the bell and drums rang at the noon gate, the band played music, Lu Qian ascended to the throne of the Fengtian Temple like a puppet, the sound of firecrackers, and the praise officer shouted "Arrange shifts". The hundred officials lined up according to their grades, and performed three kneels and nine bows. After the ceremony, Lu Qian will have a reward, a copy for each official, how much or less is valuable according to the rank, and the hundred officials will kowtow and thank him. This Chinese New Year ceremony has come to an end.

The next morning is a blessing, not a blessing character, but money and things, the Chinese Wu Zhongchen, the old brother of the past, one cannot be less.

At noon, the family banquet of the Qianqing Palace.

In the afternoon, there was an endless stream of people handing over posts outside the palace.

This is the state dinner of the evening.

The emperor feasted the ministers outside, and the queen feasted the women inside. It's also a rule that is slowly formed. For a whole day, polite words have to be non-stop, but this is still good, on the fifteenth day of the first month, when there is a big feast, this is to tell everyone that the year has passed. Therefore, the constraints are slightly looser than on New Year's Day.

Whether it is Lu Qian or Fang Jinzhi, they have to put down their posture and go to greet, chat, and be friendly with one person after another.

There are also a number of concubines in the harem to share one or two for Fang Jinzhi, and even a group of princesses can divert a lot of attention, but Lu Qian of the previous dynasty can only fight alone. His sons are going to talk to the ministers of civil and military affairs, and they will only be polite.

When the palace banquet was over, Fang Jinzhi soaked in the bathtub for half an hour, her whole body was pink from the heat, and everyone almost fell asleep in it.

Lu Qian exhaled hot air in her ear, and the crispy and numb feeling rose from the bottom of her heart, I don't know if she was really emotional or drunk, or if she was really a mature woman who couldn't be more ripe, and she couldn't stand the slightest teasing.

Fang Jinzhi didn't know what time it was, and then there were a few light chuckles from Lu Qian, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or proud. Then, in a daze, Fang Jinzhi turned into a small boat in the waves, constantly jolting and swaying......

When I woke up in the morning, my back was very sore, and I held my forehead, I was a little crazy last night. When I got up, I felt that the discomfort in my waist was more obvious, as if I had been doing farm work for three days!

Fang Jinzhi got up and had breakfast with Lu Qian, then sent away a group of children who came over, and went back to bed to sleep again. But Lu Qian went to Pan Jinlian's place, the girl was too old to stay, and she couldn't stay anymore, so she would stay as an old girl.

"How's going on at the Ministry of Rites? Have you negotiated with the Internal Affairs Office? The eldest princess's marriage is all in front of her, and she is still arguing, which is simply unreasonable. In the autumn, the eldest son of the emperor got married, is that going to be pulled until August? ”

Pan Jinlian entered the mental state of marrying her daughter as early as a few years ago, jewelry treasures, land deeds, shops, acres of stocks, Pan Jinlian is really affectionate for her first child. Although she is not a boy, she is also a baby that she has been looking forward to for many years.

"If it really doesn't work, just follow the regulations of the previous dynasty and just copy it. If anyone has any opinions, tell him to come to this palace. ”

Lu Qian knew that Pan Jinlian was really a little anxious, not holding back her strength to show her muscles to anyone. or took Lu Mei's marriage as a stage for her to show off her muscles, and she became addicted to competing with the Ministry of Rites and the Internal Affairs Office. In this matter, on the contrary, someone else deliberately made trouble, and he knew very well who that person was.

Lu Qian didn't speak, but he knew everything about it.

The Ministry of Rites and the Office of Internal Affairs have not been able to set a score, and the biggest reason is the system. You must know that Lu Mei is the eldest princess of the Lu Qi Dynasty, and she can be compared to the king of the domain.

The specifications of the marriage are much stronger than that of Lu Yuke, who was only crowned a county king when he was eighteen years old. The Cheng family didn't know what kind of evil spirit was born in their eyes, and secretly muddied the waters.

Lu Qian saw everything in his eyes, and what he was most curious about now was, did the Cheng family really dare to stand up?

Time flew to February, Lu Qian invited Lin Chong to him, he was already a family member, but he didn't see the leopard's head in front of him. More than ten years have passed, and this gift of monarchs and ministers has long been imprinted in Lin Chong's bones.

The two gossiped, and Lu Qian talked about it. After Pan Jinlian got angry, the Cheng family did not stand up to fight in the ring, so the next thing went very smoothly. But what made Lu Qian even more emotional was his growing sons.

This is the first time that because of the 'son', it really made waves, and he was directly aware of it.

"Your Majesty has many heirs, but there is only one true dragon chair in the world. Fight for it, and rightfully so. Even if it is the house of the minister, how can it not be the same? There is still a fight for property in the house of the people of Limin, but it is the palace inside? ”

"For thousands of years, from the emperor and the generals to the rich and noble, it is inevitable to fight. This is the human heart. If not, how can Uncle Bo Yi be famous? ”

In Lin Chong's opinion, Emperor Lu had a very smooth life, and when he saw the signs of the dispute between his sons, he was unhappy in his heart. But the king of Huaining County [Lu Yu] is going to get married in the fall, so even if he is still studying, he will graduate after the summer next year, and he will eventually step into the court officialdom.

Lu Qian sighed in his heart, but he also knew that Lin Chong had said a lot. There is still competition for the property of the people, and the rich and noble families are even more indisputable, let alone the emperor's house? He should have known this, and he did have a certain amount of psychological preparation, so he just looked at the Cheng family, but he never made a move. Even if I chatted with Lin Chong recently, didn't I see any action at all.

Whether he wants to or not, with Lu Yu's marriage, the drama of "fighting for the dragon and seizing the throne" has begun. ()
