But surprised to surprised, Wang Jingshu still went with them, and the two of them couldn't make much waves, not to mention that this was in the imperial city.

Today's New Year's Eve, I thought it would be boring to be alone, but I didn't expect the arrival of these two people to add a bit of excitement, Wang Jingshu happily pulled them to the inner room, she lay on the chaise longue couch, and let them sit down.

The three of them were close, and they were just one hearth away. He ordered to move a new hearth, and soon the silver carbon bilibili was burning.

It's very similar to the way the family keeps the old age, but there are fewer people here.

Wang Jingshu told the palace maids to take some delicious pastries and tea for hospitality, and also told the palace maids to go down to keep the New Year, so there was no need to wait. Immediately, Chen Eryan did the same, and asked her henchmen to go down and have fun with them.

When the palace maids all went down, there were just three of them in the house, Wang Jingshu was very happy, opened her eyes to look at this and that, and then laughed again, "Just the three of us, talking and laughing while eating pastries around the fire." I really never thought about this scene. ”

"I didn't expect to be able to celebrate the New Year with the two masters." This is Wang Lingyi's words, she is not good at calling the two princesses, so she changed her name to the master.

And Chen Eryan was still a little restrained, after all, it was because of her that she made it like that last time, and even more, there seemed to be a ...... between her and the princess But she soon let go of the past, just trying to have peace of mind now, and she was also lonely in her heart, especially on days like this. Everything in the palace made her feel strange, she was not used to such cold years, but when she thought of being like this for the rest of her life, there was a big stone in her heart that made her breathless, "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to keep the New Year with the two Wang girls." ”

Miss Wang......

Since marrying into the palace, no one calls her Miss Wang, only Princess Ning, and she also calls herself Wang. Wang Jingshu didn't know whether to be happy or uncomfortable, but she also understood that the side concubine didn't want to enter the palace from beginning to end, and she didn't think she was a person in the imperial city.

……

The princess and the side concubine chatted and chatted without much to say, each with their own thoughts. Only Wang Lingyi searched her intestines and searched for the conversation to liven up the atmosphere, "It's the first day of the first lunar month, what are your New Year's wishes?" ”

"New Year's Wish ......" Chen Eryan, who was eating osmanthus cake, couldn't think of any other wishes she had, her whole life was bound to the royal family, and those who didn't wish were buried with time, "I don't have anything." ”

It was Wang Jingshu who teased her, "My New Year's wish, I can see Miss Wang wearing a red wedding dress out of the pavilion, marrying into the Qin family in a beautiful manner, and becoming Mrs. Qin." ”

Chen Eryan covered her mouth and snickered on the side.

Wang Lingyi suddenly blushed with shame, lowered her head and pulled her cousin's sleeve, "Oh, cousin, what are you talking about, it's true, they will make fun of me during the New Year, right?" ”

"Look, even Sister Side Concubine is not kind to me, I'm really, I'm angry with you."

Wang Jingshu pretended to be serious and asked Chen Eryan, "Sister Concubine Side, are you laughing at her?" ”

Chen Eryan cooperated with her, "Back to Sister Princess, I didn't laugh at her." I'm secretly happy, the girls are married, what are you ashamed of? Immediately, he covered his mouth and smiled, and looked at Wang Lingyi, "Actually, the princess's wish is not false, when the spring begins, we should go to the fiefdom with the prince, I don't know if we can see Miss Wang wearing a wedding dress." ”

It was suddenly a little cold in the room. I only heard Wang Lingyi gritting his teeth, and his tone was mostly reluctant, "You guys, when are you leaving?" ”

So fast, but not long after the New Year's Eve together, Wang Lingyi is more familiar with Chen Eryan, she is naturally optimistic and cheerful, so people who have been in contact with her will be attracted by her good mood all day long, and she appreciates talented people, so she and the side concubine can also get along well. It's very good.

A person with a good temperament like Wang Lingyi has the ability to make everyone like her, and there is a touch of purity in this like, which is actually rare. Chen Eryan also admires her in her heart, she has no sense of purity contaminated by the world, like a lotus flower out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons.

Wang Jingshu said, "You have to wait for the six princes to marry." It's time to welcome relatives in spring. ”

"What about the second cousin...... she said, Wang Jingmiao married the sixth prince as a side concubine.

Because of Concubine Chen, talking about the rules of Concubine Yingfang, I don't know why Wang Jingshu was a little difficult to open her mouth at this moment, "Concubine Yingfang doesn't need too much courtesy, you can go or not." ”

Whether King Ning welcomes the side concubine or the concubine room, Princess Ning must arrive, but whether others welcome the side concubine or not, it has little to do with Princess Ning. Wang Jingshu is already a member of the royal family, and such a simple truth is something she must understand. When this sister got married, she couldn't go to Wang's mansion to congratulate her in person.

Wang Lingyi understood.

Chen Eryan didn't care about the etiquette of welcoming the concubine, originally King Ning also wanted to do a big job, but she didn't want to, being a concubine, what was there to show off, she understood that her identity didn't need to make a big deal to block the princess, she would get along for the rest of her life, why resent each other, just poor people.

"It seems that the princess's dowry should be put together." Chen Eryan's dowry is mostly calligraphy, painting and antiques, these are light, and when they are going to go in the future, it will be too late to sort them out.

"Yes, in order not to trouble in the future, after the fifteenth year, I have to pick the right person to send the large items to the north, and I will escort the car with Qingyi. The prince said that he would pick a loyal servant to go together, go to Pingzhou to settle down first, pick some capable maids, and clean up the palace, so that in the future, we can go over and stay in Ning Wangfu directly. ”

"The Ning Wang's Mansion over there has already been under construction?"

In the end, Wang Jingshu, the princess, knows more about the affairs in this palace, she has heard the queen mention this matter earlier, "Earlier than the prince was crowned king, it can be seen that the father has already thought about the fiefdom of the princes." My father was prescient, and Pingzhou was a good place. Compared with the depressed life in the imperial city, she longed for the life in the north more, and then mentioned again, "Hey, what about the side concubine's dowry?" Do you want to go with them? ”

After a while, I heard Chen Eryan reply, "I only have a Nanmu hanging flower pillar shelf bed, and a few large boxes, and I want to take them to the north." But the prince didn't mention it to me, originally I wanted to wait for us to pass and ask the Chen family to take it back. ”

The side concubine is the side concubine, and her dowry is not as much as that of the princess.

In fact, the Chen family may not be unable to get a richer dowry, but Chen Eryan is a side concubine after all, with the comparison of the princess's dowry, and the dowry in the palace to prevent comparison, there is a fixed number. Therefore, some things were not written into the dowry list, let alone sent to the palace, and they were all left in the Chen family.

She asked intentionally or unintentionally, "The princess is from a big family, this dowry should be a lot, right?" ”

Wang Jingshu's dowry from the stepping bed to the mirror table to the carved cabinet, curved screen, to a complete set of tables, chairs and benches, all the furniture is all precious yellow pear carved begonia flower style, as well as all kinds of clothes, head jewelry, jade jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, books, silver tickets, etc., and even a few Zhuangzi shops in Kyoto, connected to the Zhuangzi shops and fields in Pingzhou, the rich dowry shows the strength and style of Wang's mansion everywhere, at a glance, it is a big family, and even a few camphor wood boxes are prepared by the girl's family as soon as she was born.

But she just said, "There weren't so many ...... originally."

Later, because she was going to marry the prince as his wife, she was afraid that the dowry would be less and she would lose face, so she added some more, and many things were added by relatives and elders.

"Hey, Miss Wang's dowry should also be carried from the north?"

Fang was talking about the dowry, Wang Lingyi didn't interject, but the concubine Qiao Qiao led the words to her, "Exactly, it has been brought little by little." My dowry is simple, no better than my sister's. ”

Does this sister refer to the side concubine's sister or the princess's cousin...... Then it is unknown. Chen Eryan pursed her lips and smiled, and stopped talking.

The atmosphere cooled for a while.

Seeing this, Wang Jingshu looked out the window and sighed, "This Chinese New Year's Eve is almost over, and it will really be the first day of the new year as soon as the day dawns." ”

"I still remember when I was a child, the Chinese New Year's Eve was very fun, always having fun with my brothers, watching fireworks, greeting the New Year, and listening to the greetings and congratulatory ceremonies of the elders."

also chatted to Chen Eryan, "Hey, what are your Chen family's New Year's Eve like?" ”

Chen Eryan was taking a sip of tea in her mouth, and said vaguely inaudible words, "The children will play some new games, the elders will sit in a circle and talk, and we younger generations will also find some new gadgets." ”

Wang Lingyi sighed, "When I was a child, it was too far away. "My memories of being a child are a little blurry-

When I was a child, I thought I would become an adult when I grew up, but when I really grew up, I became more and more troubled.

Childhood......

These three words make them inexplicably a little irritable, and the past in their hearts will always be inadvertently offended.

It wasn't until half an hour that Wang Jingshu mentioned, "When I was a child, it was already in the past, and it was meaningless to mention it again." ”

"yes...... Pointless. Then there was a sigh of nothingness.

This Chinese New Year's Eve, they seem to have their own worries.

Unconsciously, chatting and chatting, the sky gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly.

Finally finished the night.

The three of them were already sleepy.

But there are a lot of things on the first day of the first lunar month, and they are busy paying New Year's greetings everywhere, especially the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager's East Palace, and the number of New Year's greetings must be comprehensive.

Wang Jingshu, who couldn't hold it all night, held her forehead and waved her hand, "You guys go back first, I'll clean up first, and I'll be busy later." ”

"Concubine Side, you also go to dress up and dress up, and when the people in the Ning Wangyuan will go to Fengyi Hall to pay New Year's greetings."

Since King Ning is the queen's biological son, the women of King Ning's courtyard have to go to Fengyi Hall with the princess to pay New Year's greetings. This is a tradition in the palace to respect the biological mother, and if the prince and princess also have an adoptive mother, they must also follow this tradition.

Chen Eryan has heard of this tradition, "Yes, the concubine will retire first." ”

He immediately retired.

Wang Lingyi also returned first, and she was going to say goodbye to Princess Anqing and leave the imperial city in the afternoon.

Qingyi entered the house and changed the master's new clothes, so he didn't need to wear auspicious clothes today.

Before finishing the makeup, the prince entered the inner room.

Wang Jingshu was about to serve him, but she heard him say this: "You hurry up and prepare, go early and return early for New Year's greetings, and go back to Wang's mansion to visit in the afternoon." ”

Wang Jingshu was stunned, why was she in such a hurry? "But tomorrow is the tradition of going back to my parents' house, if we go in the afternoon like this, Wang Fu may not be prepared, and he will snub his master."

"Ming'er, I still have something to do."

One sentence she couldn't say anymore.

He was willing to accompany her, but not tomorrow.

It is a traditional custom for the second daughter of the first month to return to her parents' house, and every family does it, even if the queen concubine who can't leave the imperial city will see her family tomorrow, why does he have to make an exception......

Something...... This excuse has been used countless times.
