"What's wrong with you?"

Wang Jingshu shook her head just now, indicating that she was fine.

Zhu Pei stepped forward with rare gentleness, and personally supported Wang Jingshu in full view of everyone. Attached to the ear, in the eyes of others is very affectionate, "Do your legs matter?" Is it okay to wait for the New Year's greetings? Let Qingyi accompany you to tidy up your clothes, and it's time soon. ”

Wang Jingshu didn't dare to cry out in pain, only said a good word, and then took Qingyi's hand and walked back.

The ridicule of the people behind her gradually became inaudible.

But Zhu Pei was still there to cheer for her, "Hey, my princess is young, and she didn't pay attention to her feet when she walked before she fell into the snow." The first time I participated in the New Year's greetings in the palace, I was afraid that I would not do well, so I hurriedly asked the elders to watch a big joke, and only laughed and laughed when everyone was happy for the New Year. ”

……

He thought that she would have to tidy up for a long time, but she came back in a moment, and the corners of the Jifu were a little wet, so he had to wipe and wipe them and fold them in, and there was no trace of water when he walked. Go back to where you are and stand with him.

There is also a grade order to greet the emperor and queen, first the East Palace, then the princes and princesses, and then the eldest princess and the eldest princess and other other royal relatives, royal relatives and nobles, and finally concubines.

The people in this temple are all dressed in auspicious garments that represent their ranks.

According to the grade, after the crown prince and princess, there is Princess Ning Wang Ning. Because the other two princes were not summoned to the palace this year, King Ning became the only son prince in the imperial city, ranking second.

Wang Jingshu stood behind the crown princess, two steps away from her, it should have been one step, but now that the crown princess is pregnant, King Ning has instructed her to pay extra attention, rather than stand too close, so as not to have more rights and wrongs.

"The emperor and queen, the time has come - congratulations to the master on the New Year."

It was Wu Sihai, the chief eunuch beside Zhu Yuanming, who returned the gift, and even the prince had to give three points.

Zhu Yuanming smiled and said a word, "Reward." ”

This is just for Wu Sihai. Wu Sihai, the chief eunuch, has followed Zhu Yuanming since he was a child, and accompanied him all the way, and with Zhu Yuanming becoming the emperor and the tide has risen since then, the emperor of the New Year is happy and naturally extraordinarily rewarded. Immediately, the queen also rewarded him with a lot of money, and he made a lot of gold and silver at a word, and smiled from ear to ear.

After a while, the palace maids took the futon and put it on the ground, and began to perform the traditional etiquette of New Year's greetings.

First of all, the crown prince and the crown princess of the East Palace greeted the New Year. This year's happy event in the East Palace, the crown princess is more beautiful than in previous years, because she is pregnant, her lower abdomen is slightly bulging, and the smile on her face is better than before.

Both of them knelt on the futon to celebrate the New Year.

Immediately, the emperor and queen were rewarded a lot. Others looked at the hot eyes, but the prince Zhu Yuan didn't care, the whole world will be his in the future, how can he be hot with these mundane rewards......

After the East Palace, it is Princess Ning Wangning. This is Zhu Pei's first New Year after becoming a prince, and it is also Wang Jingshu's first New Year's greeting to the emperor. The two of them both knelt on the futon and made a big salute, "I wish my father and queen mother the Spring Festival, everything goes well, happiness and longevity." ”

"Reward."

The emperor and queen were rewarded again. Wang Jingshu thought that the New Year's greetings would end like this, but the emperor and queen were interested and had something to tell them.

She only heard Zhu Yuanming tell the prince, "As soon as spring begins this year, you will go to the fiefdom and govern Pingzhou well." Do a good job, don't disappoint me. ”

"Yes, thank you for your teaching."

Fu listened to Queen Jiang's instructions, "Take care of your body when you get there." And your princess is young, you let her do more," and then chatted with Wang Jingshu, "The princess also has to take care of him, but the palace has handed over her son to you." ”

"Yes, follow the instructions of the Queen Mother."

Only then did he wave his hand and retreat.

Wang Jingshu followed Zhu Pei and the others out of the hall, and she was finally relieved.

Zhu Pei glanced at her, "Do you want to go back and tidy up the auspicious clothes first...... After that, the father and the queen mother went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and there was nothing for you to do! ”

Wang Jingshu really wanted to go back earlier, but she was afraid that people would say right and wrong, so she was in a dilemma. But Zhu Pei strengthened her thoughts, "Go back, there's nothing important." Keeping the age in his own house. There is no need to accompany the father and queen mother, not to mention that they have to worship their ancestors first. You haven't left yet, but if someone says right or wrong, I'll explain it for you. ”

He has a rare good temperament. Wang Jingshu was a little flattered in her heart. That's a rarity. She wanted to go back earlier, and she was still comfortable when she returned to her yard, and she didn't have to wear this auspicious clothes, but after thinking about it again, she finally decided to stay, "The concubine should wait a little longer." ”

"But your auspicious clothes...... If it is dirty, it will be disrespectful to be seen, and it will give birth to many rights and wrongs. It's better to take advantage of the night and go back quietly. Recently, there have been a lot of big feasts and small feasts in the New Year, and this auspicious costume still has to be worn. ”

It's rare for Zhu Pei to think about her a little, no matter what his purpose is, whether he is for her or for himself, it is a good thing after all. Wang Jingshu's heart warmed, and she agreed, "Then the concubine will go back first." ”

Zhu Pei quietly covered her and left with Qingyi.

It wasn't until the master and servant walked away that Qingyi dared to speak, "Master, did you fall and get hurt?" ”

Wang Jingshu's lower abdomen has been aching faintly for a long time, but she can't say it just now, and it's hard to say it now. Tonight is the only day in the imperial city that the palace gate is not keyed one night, and from time to time there will be palace people passing by, not that it is a good time for that matter, "Yes, it's okay." ”

Qingyi couldn't hear her voice, and forbearance felt, "Master, can you go back?" If you can't bear it, it's better to pass the sedan chair. ”

This Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Jingshu has a lot of things happening. Seeing that it was about to end, it was not good to make extraneous branches, so he directly retorted, "It's not good, you can't sit in a sedan chair, if you are discovered, you will have more rights and wrongs." ”

Qingyi didn't say much, only hugged Wang Jingshu tightly, and the master and servant didn't say anything all the way, and quietly returned to the prince's office at night.

Hurried and fast all the way back to the prince's office, it was already half an hour, the prince's office returned to its previous quiet, there was no liveliness of Fang Cai, all the palace people performed their duties and did their work, Chinese New Year's Eve was a sleepless night. Everyone in the entire Imperial City, except for children, had to keep the New Year to start the new year.

As soon as Wang Jingshu entered her yard, she couldn't hold back anymore, she held Qingyi's arm tightly, the pain in her abdomen was unbearable, as if there was a momentum and kept falling, "It hurts!" I was in pain, my abdomen was aching. ”

Qingyi panicked all of a sudden, and Mama Huifen also panicked, and immediately put down the things in her hand and walked to Wang Jingshu, "Master~ Are you here for the monthly letter?" ”

Monthly letter ......

Wang Jingshu was stunned, she had been so busy in the past few days that she had forgotten about this stubble. Counting the day, it should be today, but I didn't expect this to be a coincidence or early...... Gritting his teeth, enduring the pain, he squeezed out three words from his mouth, "Maybe." ”

Huifen remembered that the previous month was the first day of the new year, so today she remembered that everything was originally prepared, and she wanted to use it during the day, but she didn't expect it to be the first day of the new year. ”

After a while, he took a soup woman into the house, warmed Wang Jingshu, poured warm tea, and then ordered the palace maids to prepare hot water, and comforted her while taking off her auspicious clothes with Qingyi, "The master will rest for a while, it will be better to warm up, maybe it is because you drank a lot of wine and blew the wind during the palace banquet." It's not in the way, the things to be used, the maid has prepared it early in the morning. ”

Faded the auspicious clothes, the pants inside have been dyed red, exuding a fishy smell, and fortunately, the auspicious clothes that were changed out were only a little wet at the feet, and they were not defiled by Yuexin, and Qingyi took the responsibility to clean them.

Wang Jingshu bowed her head, and immediately lay on the chaise longue and covered the quilt, she knew Mama's ability to do things, there were a group of capable palace people in the princess's courtyard, and she could save too much worry.

Immediately, Mama Huifen took out the red-dyed pants and cleaned them up.

Wang Jingshu was the only one left in the house, and the whole house was full of lamps and candles, and even the silver charcoal in the corner was burning extremely vigorously, which seemed to indicate the prosperity of the new year.

Gradually, the warmth of the soup and tea warmed her abdomen and relieved her pain. The fatigue of the body, the too much bearing in the heart, too many things happened on this day, so that Wang Jingshu was out of breath, and even tonight's wine and tonight's New Year's greetings made her eyes almost unable to open, and she wanted to sleep beautifully at any time.

But tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, the most important day for everyone in the whole dynasty, sitting around the fire to stay up all night to say goodbye to the old year, ushering in the new year, and cherishing the time and extending the life of parents.

In Wang Jingshu's memory, only when she was a child, before the age of five, she only had to stay up until she was a child, and she only had to go back to the house to sleep after she gave a New Year's greeting to the elders.

Now there is no custom of sitting around the fire to celebrate the New Year together in the royal family, and she has to follow the local customs. But a person's New Year's Eve is too lonely and cold.

Soon Mama Huifen knocked on the door and urged her, "Master, the hot water is ready, you go to the bath and change your clothes." As soon as the day dawns, it is essential to exchange New Year's greetings and feasts. ”

"Okay."

was helped by Mama to bathe in the back.

When Wang Jingshu came out after bathing and changing into dirty clothes, it was the end of the child, and there were two wonderful people sitting in the inner room.

"Concubine Chen gave the princess a New Year's greeting, wishing the princess a happy New Year and all the best."

"Sister Wang's Lingyi wishes the princess and sister the New Year, and wishes the princess and sister a blessed and prosperous New Year."

It was Chen Eryan and Wang Lingyi.

How did they come together?

Although Wang Jingshu was puzzled, she was not in a hurry to ask at this time, and hurriedly took two steps forward and helped her weakly, "Get up quickly." It's still early to pay New Year's greetings. There is no hurry at this time. ”

Then he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The two got up and stood upright, waiting for the princess to enter the right position. Chen Eryan replied, "The concubine only learned that Miss Wang was in King Ning's courtyard, and she had no other relatives here, and she would miss home on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the princess was not there, so she boldly invited Miss Wang to sit around the fire and watch the New Year." ”

Listening to the side concubine's words, it was really kind.

Wang Jingshu knew that this cousin was summoned to the palace by Princess Anqing to participate in the palace banquet, but she was not qualified to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and queen with the royal family. It just so happened that Concubine Chen was also unaccompanied, so she ......

"Sister, Zhao Xun in King Ning's courtyard is pregnant and went to bed early, and Liangdi and Fengyi are keeping the New Year together. Anyway, the concubine and I have no one to accompany us, so we sit together to keep the New Year. Don't worry about that, we're not here to accompany you. ”

Sun Liangdi and Guo Fengyi...... Keeping the New Year together?

Liangdi and Fengyi, there is a grade difference between these two grades. The Sun family is also considered to be a beautiful lady, and the Guo family is just a palace maid, and the two of them can talk together...... Wang Jingshu was surprised.
