At the beginning of the morning, the prince and the princess dressed together and formally accepted everyone's New Year's greeting ceremony.

The whole palace went up to Liangdi and down to the maids, and gave the two masters New Year's greetings one after another, and then gave gifts, and then returned the gifts.

It took half an hour to finish.

Wang Jingshu is still in the front yard, it's time for her to go back, "I should go back to the main courtyard." On the first day of the new year, it's time for you to hang out. Maybe an official will come to visit you soon. ”

Zhu Pei smiled, "It's right." If you are Princess Ning, there will also be officials who will order women to worship you for the New Year. We're almost inseparable," but he didn't say a word about letting her go, "It's time to think about sending the Wang family's New Year's gift in the first month, right?" ”

He received the Wang family's annual gift.

When Wang Jingshu received the ten-car New Year gift a year ago, Zhu Pei naturally saw it, and he instructed, "As a return gift, you should add a few points, don't lose the number of courtesies." Although he doesn't treat the Wang family very well, he must also do the etiquette he should have, so as not to make people more right, "Take a few more samples from the front yard warehouse." It's better, I don't want Lord Wang to look down on it, I think the palace is thrifty, and you don't have a good time here. ”

"I thought I could add three more carts to what they sent." A year ago, there were eighteen cars sent to the palace, which also included three cars for Princess Anqing's wedding gift, and fifteen cars for the New Year's ceremony, so there could be no more than fifteen cars sent to Wang's mansion. The Wang family sent ten carts, and this time at most thirteen carts were escorted back.

Zhu Pei bowed slightly, "Prepare more fun, dexterous and delicate things for your little niece." ”

Wang Jingshu said yes one by one.

It's rare that he still misses her niece, and it seems that he hasn't forgotten what he said last night.

The two were speechless for a while, and Zhu Pei forgot what else he had to explain for a while. Even so, Wang Jingshu also left the front yard and stepped on two inches of snow back to the main courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Rong Ruofen's laughter mixed with the voices of others.

Wang Jingshu quietly entered, saw the figure of Liu Zhaoxun and monk Fengyi and Lu Fengyi, and appeared with a chuckle, "Who am I, it was you." ”

Busy ordering Cai Yu to serve the best refreshments, "You are the first distinguished guest in the New Year." ”

The three of them immediately asked An to salute, and Wang Jingshu personally helped them up, "Don't be polite on the first day of the first month today." Sit down," and told the maids to serve them well, "you wait a minute, I'll go and change my clothes and come." ”

She is also wearing a heavy court dress and crown, which is really heavy, and she just wants to change her clothes at this time.

"The princess takes her time."

Wang Jingshu immediately entered.

Pin Wei followed and served the princess.

Wang Jingshu, who was sitting in front of the dressing table in the back room, was not in a hurry to change her clothes, but asked, "When did they come?" Why did you come here all of a sudden? It stands to reason that the New Year's gift has passed, and it is generally not a visit. ”

Even if it is an ally, it must not be too close, so as not to be exposed, so the Liu family and the Shang family will not come over.

Pin Wei picked out the clothes hanging there, and didn't forget to reply, "Master, Zhaoxun sat for half a cup of tea, saying that it was the side concubine who asked her to pay New Year's greetings to you, and the two Fengyi came together, and they just arrived." ”

Wang Jingshu did not hide her dislike for Lu Fengyi at all, "It's okay for the Shang family, why is the Lu family here too?" I was impatient to see her. ”

"It seems that we met on the road, so we just got together." Pin Wei picked a big red jacket skirt, but was disgusted by Wang Jingshu, "Wear dark red, Zhenghong looks too public." I looked at the dark red breast-length skirt. ”

"Yes."

Pinwei immediately took her clothes.

After waiting for her for a while, Wang Jingshu took off her court clothes and changed into light clothes, wearing a dark red embroidered peony breast-length skirt, and took off the crown and re-dressed and put on a complete set of gold ornaments.

"Master, do you want to make up for rouge?"

Pin Wei has never served the princess alone, so she has to invite the princess in everything.

Wang Jingshu bowed slightly, and immediately waited for her to reapply her makeup, apply rouge and wipe her mouth grease.

"So, okay?"

"Yes, your hands are dexterous, and the coating is not thin or thick, which is good."

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Pin Wei got a compliment from the master, but she was a little happier than getting a red envelope. Wang Jingshu saw that she was happy, and casually took a pair of pearl earrings from her makeup and rewarded her. "On the first day of the new year, if you want to have a good intention, this pair of pearl earrings will be given to you, which is a New Year's gift from the Wang family."

She hadn't worn it yet, and she was just looking at it before putting it in her makeup.

"Thank you, master, thank you." Pinville smiled and carefully put the pair of pearl earrings into the purse she was wearing, which was very precious.

Wang Jingshu said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I'll entrust you with something here." ”

Torr?

"If the master has something, just say it."

It doesn't matter. Wang Jingshu couldn't go out of the house to choose it personally, so she had to order someone to do something, "Go to the market for me to walk around and see if there are any new things, and after fifteen, I will ask them to escort the car to Wang's mansion for the eldest sister." After a pause, he said, "Take money from the treasury and look for some knick-knacks." They are too busy, so you have to go on top. ”

"Yes, the servant will surely look for some good ones."

Immediately, Wang Jingshu got up and walked to the outhouse, and they were chatting.

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

As soon as Wang Jingshu came out, everyone worshiped the New Year again.

"Concubine Zhaoxun Liu's visit to the princess's master, may the princess have a good New Year and a happy heart——"

"Concubine Fengyi Shang's New Year's greetings to the princess's master, may the princess's master have a happy New Year and good luck——"

"Concubine Fengyi Lu family to the princess master New Year's greetings, may the princess master have a blessed New Year——"

"I wish Aunt Princess a prosperous New Year, and all the best-"

It's another greeting from a piece of water.

Wang Jingshu smiled, she was happy on the first day of the new year, "I accepted all of your congratulations-" and immediately ordered Qingyun to present the gift, "Fortunately, I prepared a gift in advance, and I wish everyone a good New Year——"

Qingyun took the maids to present gifts one by one and handed them to the big maids behind them.

"Thank you, Princess."

Liu Yingying blushed slightly and said: "Oh, I'm really embarrassed to accept it, I came to greet you for the side concubine, how can I be embarrassed to receive another gift, I have already received a gift when I paid a New Year's greeting." ”

Wang Jingshu didn't miss a gift money, she simply gave it generously, and made a favor, "It's okay." ”

"Just now I went back to the courtyard and passed by the side concubine, she was guarding the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw me, she asked me to come to the main courtyard to greet you for the New Year, and wish you a good New Year."

Wang Jingshu instructed, "Wait a while, you will also go to the side concubine's courtyard again, I have prepared a gift, and you will bring it for me." She also has a heart. ”

Liu Yingying readily agreed, "Okay." ”

Lu Qingping gritted her teeth and muttered softly, "Sister Zhaoxun, I, I, can I go?" I haven't met the concubine yet. ”

Liu Yingying knew that she was close, so she refused directly, and only said tactfully, "Sister Concubine is guarding filial piety and is not out of the door." I just stood at the gate of the courtyard and instructed her maid. If you want to meet the sister of the side concubine, you can meet her again. ”

Lu Qingping was silent for a while, lowering her head as if she had been wronged.

But Liu Yingying's words are not wrong, the side concubine is really keeping filial piety.

Wang Jingshu was a little annoyed, this was like crying on the first day of the first lunar month. At this time, the words spoken were also hard, "Everyone knows that the side concubine is guarding filial piety, if you really have the heart, you will kneel at the gate of the courtyard and kowtow more to pay respects." She'll know you're genuine. ”

As for whether it is true or false...... Then Wang Jingshu really doesn't know. Anyway, she felt that this person was very inappropriate.

As soon as the princess said this, her attitude changed, and everyone in the room gasped.

Today is a good day for the first month of the first month, how can there be such a blind master?

Liu Yingying spoke coldly, sneering and sarcastic, "No, Sister Concubine will indeed perceive Lu Fengyi's sincerity." ”

You must know that it is a great thing to keep filial piety for parents and elders since ancient times, and people are good at keeping filial piety in their own yards.

After saying this, Lu Qingping was embarrassed to say any more, so she just sat and stopped talking.

Wang Jingshu began her daily greetings, "Zhaoxun, how are you doing now?" Much better, right? The prince mentioned you yesterday. It's not good to be stuffy in the house all the time, so you have to go out and walk around more. ”

"Much better. Thank you Lord and Princess for remembering, I will often come out and walk around in the future, come to your visit, don't think I'm me. "Since they are allies, there is no need for Liu Yingying to be too distant. Anyway, the whole palace knows that she has a good relationship with the side concubine, and the side concubine has a very good relationship with the princess, so she naturally stands with the princess.

Wang Jingshu took a sip of tea and immediately smiled, "Then how can it be, I will never dislike you." If you have time, just come to the main courtyard and talk to me. I like it when you talk about those farm scenes. ”

"Hey, hey, come here."

After saying this, he mentioned Shang Fengyi who was sitting there quietly, "Shang Fengyi didn't say a word." Why can't you get used to this tea? I watched you and didn't move. ”

Shang Puying's eyebrows moved slightly, and she was a little embarrassed, "Concubine, concubine doesn't like to drink tea." "She used to be a maid who served people, where can she drink such a precious tea, naturally she prefers boiled water over time.

Wang Jingshu is never stingy with her own people, "Then what do you like?" You just tell Qingyun and ask her to prepare it for you next time. ”

Shang Puying's soft voice revealed a little surprise, "It's not good to bother Miss Qingyun." I always only drink plain water. You don't have to put tea in the future. Wouldn't it be a waste for me to drink such precious tea......"

When Wang Jingshu heard this, she immediately motioned to Qingyun to change, "It's just tea, you don't have to be restrained." I told the maids to write it down, and let her serve you boiled water in the future. ”

Qingyun immediately packed up the teacup and went down to change a cup of boiled water and gave it to Shang Fengyi, "In the future, the maid will write it down, and I will prepare boiled water for Shang Fengyi." ”

Shang Puying said politely, "There is Miss Lao Qingyun." ”

Immediately, everyone laughed about the past events in Kyoto, and sometimes mentioned Rong Ruofen who was sitting with her, and teased her without softness, which made people gradually blush.

For a while, the house was very lively, and there was a scene of going around the door for the New Year when I was a child.

All this is very envious in Lu Qingping's eyes, but in fact, she doesn't like to drink tea. Everyone can be courteous to the princess, but she is the only one, and everyone ignores her and ignores her. She knew very well that it was because of Princess Hexian that they poured their anger on her, but what could she do if she was just a girl, could she not listen to Princess Hexian? Her family's lives are in their hands.

Suddenly, she felt very bored, no matter how much she blended in, she couldn't fit in between them, no matter how low and humble she put everything she had, it was just like a drama in their eyes.

This backyard of the palace is really like what Princess Xianchang said, everyone has their own thoughts, and they are also friends for each party, maybe for profit, maybe for clinging, or maybe for self-preservation. And she, she doesn't know which side to go to, because no one pays attention to her at all.

In the end, Lu Qingping sat down and retired to leave.

Wang Jingshu didn't leave her and went with her.

As soon as the Lu family left, several people spoke more freely, very lively, and they looked like they were all together.

It was not until the end of the hour that several officials ordered their wives to enter the palace to greet the princess for the New Year, and the group dispersed.

Caiyu asked, "Master, do you want to summon those officials and wives?" ”

"Please." There is no reason to turn people away during the Chinese New Year.
