Chapter 404 Wishing you prosperity on the thirtieth night, the palace was festive, red lanterns could be seen hanging high everywhere, and the colorful lanterns were shining together, so that the golden and blue were shining together, and the splendid intersection. Fang Ling said as he walked: "This palace is really big enough, and it is extremely magnificent, which makes people forget to return." ”

Passing through the magnificent palaces and circling the corridors of the pavilions, it took a lot of time to come to the harem.

"Ling'er, the largest palace in front is the Ningkun Palace where the Queen Mother is located, and it is also the second highest palace in the entire palace."

"Elegant, majestic, antique, beautiful, and solemn.

"Well, if it's daytime, this palace is another scene, and I'll take you around the palace tomorrow."

Entering Ningkun Palace, Fang Ling looked around, only to see the cloud top sandalwood in the hall as a beam, the crystal jade as the lamp, the pearl agate as the curtain, and Fan Jin as the pillar base.

After the palace maid knelt down, she lifted a curtain, and I said, "Ling'er, this is the main hall of Ningkun Palace." ”

There is a huge bright moon pearl hanging above the treasure top of the hall, and there are nine smaller night pearls around the arch, shining brightly, like the bright moon, like the stars, so that the light in the house is shining, like day. The ground is paved with white warm jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled into the ground for lotus, the flowers are all five-stemmed lotus-shaped, the petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the delicate stamens can be distinguished. Fang Ling secretly thought to himself, even if he stepped barefoot, he could feel its warmth, it seemed that the luxury in the palace was indeed very imaginable.

Xie Daoqing sat in the middle of a large platform, and when he saw us coming in, he said, "The official family is here." ”

"Well, I've seen the queen mother."

Fang Ling on the side also immediately saluted and said: "Fang Ling, the daughter of the people, see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed." ”

"No courtesy." Xie Daoqing looked at Fang Ling kindly, smiled, nodded and said, "You are Miss Ling'er?" ”

"Exactly."

"Ling'er, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your home."

Fang Ling whispered, "Hmm." ”

"Ling'er is beautiful and wise, delicate and refined, if she is really a fairy-like character, I really feel pitiful, haha, good, good, the official has a good vision." Xie Dao Qingle said, "Ling'er, you and Jiu'er are sitting around the official's house, and we will talk while eating." ”

"See the Emperor."

"Well, it's all excused."

After Fang Ling sat down, he said to Quan Jiu and the others, "I've seen all the sisters. ”

Quan Jiu smiled and said, "Miss Fang is good." ”

Concubine Qiu and the others also said, "Miss Fang is good." ”

Xie Daoqing saw that everyone had arrived, so he said to the palace maid on the side: "Serve." ”

Compared with the cuisine of the palace and the Tongle Building, each has its own characteristics, inherited from the imperial kitchen in the Bianjing Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, the dishes made are still with some characteristics of northern cuisine, but on the whole, the fine workmanship, the exquisite materials, and the control of the heat are still far better than the Tongle Building.

Xie Daoqing picked up the wine glass, according to the palace etiquette system, the first to respect the sky, the second to respect the earth, three to respect the ancestors, pray for the blessing of the ancestors of heaven and earth, Xianchun three years of wind and rain, the Great Song Dynasty prospered, and the great cause of Zhongxing was achieved as soon as possible.

After the ceremony, Xie Daoqing raised his glass again and said: "Everyone, raise a glass together, today my Song Zhao family is reunited here, on the occasion of the New Year, I wish everyone all wishes come true, happy New Year, cheers!" ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." The crowd drank it all down.

"Full, full." Xie Daoqing said happily, "On the thirtieth night of last year, four new concubines in spring, summer, autumn and winter were added to the harem, which made my Ningkun Palace also a lot more lively, and this year there are more Ling'er girls, it's really good, prosperous, hehe, prosperous." ”

Quan Jiu said: "That is the blessing of the Queen Mother." ”

Xie Daoqing laughed: "Jiu'er just can speak." By the way, Ling'er, are you good at drinking? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Ling'er can still drink three cups."

"That's good, Ling'er, I'm also from a civilian background, and I can drink a few sips on weekdays, but the official family doesn't drink well, so I can't enjoy it, with you today, then I have to drink three glasses with me."

Fang Ling saw that Xie Daoqing was approachable and straightforward, and suddenly said with a good feeling: "That Ling'er will accompany the Queen Mother tonight." ”

Xie Daoqing sighed, ordered everyone to eat at will, and said after drinking a cup with Fang Ling: "Ling'er, if the official family bullies you in the future, come to Ningkun Palace, and the Queen Mother will call the shots for you." ”

Fang Ling said with a smile: "Queen Mother, my brother will not bully Ling'er, not to mention that Ling'er is also proficient in martial arts." ”

Xie Daoqing was surprised: "Really? Ling'er knows martial arts? How is Mr. Yuan compared to that? ”

"Queen Mother, you can't compare with Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan can be said to be the number one master of our dynasty, Ling'er's martial arts and Mr. Yuan's disciples have to fight."

"Blue Feather, Shen Mo?" Xie Daoqing praised, "That's also the best among the imperial guards, I didn't expect Miss Ling'er's martial arts to be so strong." ”

Fang Ling smiled: "Queen Mother, my brother always said that Ling'er used to be his bodyguard, and he was a competent bodyguard. ”

"Really? With Ling'er's martial arts, he deserves it. ”

The two of them drank one cup after another, not showing any drunkenness, Fang Ling has martial arts, and his physique is far superior to ordinary people, of course, this bit of wine is not a problem, although the degree of wine drunk in the palace is not high, but Xie Daoqing is also so good at drinking, which makes me quite surprised.

Xie Daoqing finished drinking another glass and said, "Ling'er, this is the first time to enter the palace, right?" How does it feel? ”

"The Queen Mother, the palace golden tile red wall, white jade stone fence, solemn and majestic, but generous and solemn, worthy of being the first luxury in the world, not what ordinary people think."

"Does Ling'er like it?"

"Queen Mother, Ling'er is not very familiar with it yet, so I can't talk about liking it for the time being."

"After a long time, you will get used to it, and if you get used to it, you will like it." Xie Daoqing smiled, "Ling'er, what are your plans in the future?" When are you going to live in the palace? ”

Fang Lingqiao blushed and said: "Queen Mother, Ling'er wants to live in the current Chengwei Dart Bureau for the time being, although this palace is good, it is too big, and after coming in, she can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, Ling'er may not be used to it." ”

I said, "Queen Mother, don't worry, let's wait until Ling'er is familiar with it." ”

"Okay, Ling'er, just don't take too long."

Fang Ling lowered his head, glanced at me and said, "Well, Queen Mother, Ling'er knows." ”

Xie Daoqing and Fang Ling seemed to be more and more speculative the more they talked, and throughout the night, Fang Ling became the protagonist of the banquet. Maybe it was because of the freshness, most of what Fang Ling said was the Red Cross, Shifeng and interesting stories on the rivers and lakes after returning from the Valley of the Kings, and Xie Daoqing, Quan Jiu and the others listened to it with relish.

Approaching midnight, Xie Daoqing said: "In the past two years, the official family has always brought surprises to all of us, what will the official family bring us on Chinese New Year's Eve this year?" Do you want to know? ”

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

I know it's time for me to perform again, this has become a reserved program for harem gatherings, fortunately, there are a lot of songs during the New Year, I randomly picked a song of Andy Lau's "Wishing you prosperity", and sang: I congratulate you on making a fortune, I congratulate you on your wonderful, please come over the best, please go away if you are bad, oh etiquette is not to blame......

Although my voice is incomplete, it is better than novelty, and after I finished singing, I said: "Ling'er, do you remember everything?" You sing it again. ”

Fang Ling's memory is still there, and after listening to me sing it once, he basically memorizes it in his heart. The female version of "Wishing you prosperity" is sung in Fang Ling's round rhyme and pleasant voice, and it is another flavor, no matter how you look at it, it is far from me.

After hearing this, Xie Daoqing praised: "Good memory, you can remember it once you can, Ling'er is really a genius." ”

"Good voice." Concubine Qiu also praised, "It's melodious, the warbler is singing, and Miss Fang sings really well." ”

After the fireworks, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On the first day of the new year, there was not only a big court meeting, in addition to accepting the congratulations of hundreds of officials, I also had to light the heavenly incense before the court meeting, so after the fireworks, I returned to the Fuyang Palace first, Fang Ling and Quan Jiu were left in Ningkun Palace by Xie Daoqing, saying that there were still a lot of whispers to talk about.

At the same time, Jia Yidao hosted a banquet for Wu Junhan in the study room in the Xiangfu, which was different from the Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years, and the guest tonight was only Wu Junhan.

After setting up the wine and food, Jia Xuan also left the study and stood outside the door to wait.

"All contained, come, let's do this cup first."

"Master Xie."

After drinking it, Jia Rudao said: "Junhan, for more than ten years, your Wu family has been waiting with all your heart, so that the old man has been safe and sound, and the ** people will leave for return, and the old man is really reluctant to do so." ”

"Taishi, after Junhan settles down the Wu family, you can still come to Lin'an often to visit Master Taishi."

"Hehe, all contain, just have this heart." Jia Rudao poured a full bottle of wine and said, "In order to make Zun's words, I tired your Wu family and disappeared in the martial arts for a full sixteen years, and the old man didn't want to go." Come, all contain, this glass of wine old man respects you. ”

Wu Junhan drank it all: "Master Tai is polite, the Wu family has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, eating and drinking, it can be said that they get something for nothing all day long, and their lives are quiet and indifferent, which is far better than life in the martial arts." ”

"Full, full."

"By the way, my lord, there is a proposal for Junhan, then Wu Lihan will let Junhan take it back to Changsha."

Wu Lihan is the only weight in Jia Rudao's hand to blackmail Hao Jing, as long as Wu Lihan is in his hands, there is no need to worry about Hao Jing leaking the events of the year. After Wu Lihan was caught, he has been guarded by the people of the Wu family, Wu Junhan's proposal is actually a big favor for Jia Yidao, Wu Lihan can't let go, but it is not safe to put it in Lin'an after all, if it is hidden in the Wu family in Changsha, it will naturally reassure Jia Yidao, Jia Yidao absolutely believes that Wu Junhan is the kind of heroic man who promises a thousand gold.

Jia Rudao nodded, took out a silver ticket from his arms and said: "Junhan, the old man knows that your Wu family was one of the three major families of martial arts back then, but it has disappeared for so long, and you need to reorganize the portal after you go back, and it takes a lot of energy, this is a silver ticket issued by the Great Song Dynasty Royal Silver Village, you take it." ”

Wu Junhan saw that it was a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, and immediately returned it to Jia Rudao: "My lord, this is too much, it is useless, and I dare not accept it." ”

"All contained, you're welcome." Jia Rudao put the silver ticket in Wu Junhan's hand and said, "Junhan, the old man doesn't say anything big to you, you just take it." ”
