At the beginning of the day, the prince came to the main courtyard drunk, supported by Ah Guang, and muttered to drink another pot in his mouth.

At this moment, Wang Jingshu had already gotten up and dressed neatly, and was eating and drinking with the people to keep the New Year. Only people don't dare to make fun of them at will, lest there be no rules.

They followed the rules everywhere, which made Wang Jingshu also restrained.

There is not a single doorkeeper in the courtyard. Zhu Pei slandered in his heart, put aside Ah Guang's support, and stumbled straight inside.

The door opened suddenly.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Is it the prince?

The prince is here?

Wang Jingshu's mind was stunned, her hand shook slightly, and the teacup suddenly slipped to the ground, shattered into powder, and heard a sound.

Cai Yu, who was sitting on the side, woke up and immediately chanted, "Broken peace, safe years!" ”

Zhu Pei seemed to have woken up from wine, and scolded sharply, "Go down!" ”

The people all quit one after another.

The room was quiet, but Wang Jingshu was dissatisfied, "I thought the prince wouldn't come." ”

In fact, Zhu Pei wasn't drunk at all, he just pretended to be drunk and wanted to end the family banquet early, "If you don't come, you can have fun with the people?" Is there any rule? How do you do this master, not afraid of others, not afraid of you at all? No prestige! ”

Wang Jingshu saluted, and then pulled him to sit on the kang, "You came so early?" It's just the beginning of time. Today is the year of observance. Why don't you have fun eating and drinking with them? ”

Somehow, at the banquet, Zhu Pei felt very bored, and suddenly lost interest in the face of those warblers and Yanyan, "It's boring, let's disperse early, and tell them to go back to the courtyard to keep the New Year." "I didn't expect you to be very lively here, and you can eat and drink with people, is it interesting?" ”

It was obviously the reunion of the group, and everyone gathered around to observe the Chinese New Year's Eve.

It's just that he can't lift his spirits.

I don't know why?

Wang Jingshu knew that this was unruly, but still did it, "Chinese New Year's Eve, people will also be homesick." Anyway, it's not interesting for me to eat the New Year's dinner alone, so it's better to join them. But they are also strict and abide by the etiquette. ”

Zhu Pei was speechless, lying on the kang, grabbing the book in the corner, "You're really getting lazy, you even go to the kang to read miscellaneous books." What, warm up? ”

Wang Jingshu bowed slightly, "In winter, I'm afraid of the cold, I haven't been to the right pavilion to sit on the cold bench for a long time, and the kang looks good." It's not like being watched in the nest anymore, then you think I'm lazy even more. I used to read under the covers when I was at home in winter, but it was warmer. ”

When Zhu Pei heard this, he said casually, "The Wang family is very well-behaved, how can you allow a big girl like you to be so lazy?" ”

It can be heard that the word rules is praise, this should be the first time Wang Jingshu has heard the prince's good impression of the Wang family, and it turns out that she also has a good impression.

"When the curtain is drawn, who can still see it, and besides, few people go out to visit my yard in winter. As for the jade picking, they won't say it, and their mouths are firmly on it. ”

Zhu Pei suddenly became a little curious about her previous life, "How did I hear that your previous maids didn't come to Pingzhou with you, only to pick jade." ”

"Yes, before I came, I let them choose for themselves, whether they want to work with me or stay with the Wang family. Pingzhou has a long way to go, and the future is bleak, if there are still relatives and family members, they are unwilling to follow. Caiyu has no relatives, and she has followed me since she was a child, so she is willing to follow, and I am also happy. Whatever they decide, I say yes. Wang Jingshu was also lying on the kang like him, the two were next to each other, Xu was close, and he was comfortable talking, "If they follow me, the Wang family will not treat them and their families badly." ”

Zhu Pei has been a prince since he was a child, so he doesn't understand her thoughts at all. He only knows that subordinates are subordinates, and they must obey orders, "They are all subordinates, and if you let them follow, then the orders must be obeyed." Why did you let them choose? Aren't you afraid of being alone after coming to Pingzhou? ”

"You are the princess, you can bring a few more big girls to Pingzhou."

Wang Jingshu said: "I came to such a far place and did not have my relatives, and I don't know when I could go back to reunite with my relatives. Of course, you have to give them enough time to think about it, of course, you have to be willing, if they are unwilling, even if they are unwilling, they will order them, and they will not be willing, so even if they go to Pingzhou, they may be resentful, and they will be ruined by the master's servant, it is better to let them choose by themselves. Only if you are willing to go to Pingzhou can you do things here. After a pause, "I will be in Pingzhou for the rest of my life, of course I will not be alone." ”

Lifetime......

Wang Jingshu suddenly regretted saying this a little, isn't this just saying that he didn't have the throne......

Look at her mouth, it really deserves to be beaten. Maybe she has been living comfortably lately, and she has become careless in what she says and does, and she is not as cautious as before.

And Zhu Pei understood Wang Jingshu's words and was not angry. But after all, he firmly said: "We will not be in the ...... of Pingzhou for the rest of our lives"

Wang Jingshu bowed slightly, "This is my wish." ”

She......

Zhu Pei looked at her in surprise, what did she mean?

It turns out that every woman has a wish to be a queen in her heart.

She's no exception.

If he really ascended the throne as emperor, then she should indeed be the queen.

Why did he feel that the throne of the emperor was a bit vulgar at this moment......

Wang Jingshu also turned her face away, looked at each other in pairs, and faced the unfathomable exploration in his eyes, she met her eyes with a firm gaze without fear, "I just hope that your wish can come true." ”

She knew what he was thinking.

She also knows what she wants.

If it is the queen's throne that you get for nothing, can you really sit as stable as Mount Tai?

If you want to get it, you have to pay enough, and if you want the phoenix crown to be stable, you have to bear the responsibility of the mother's world.

She doesn't dare to ask for anything now and don't dare to think about anything because she is not good enough.

And Zhu Pei suddenly became excited, and quietly held Wang Jingshu's hand, the hearts of the two were so close at this moment. suddenly remembered a sentence, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? But he didn't say anything, he didn't make any promises, because promises were all illusory, and no matter how much he gave, if he couldn't do it, it would be meaningless.

Wang Jingshu leaned closer to him slightly, and for a moment the whole person lay in his arms. It was so quiet that she could hear his heartbeat, and he could hear her breathing.

"Now it's just the two of us in the New Year's house, it's really deserted. You still don't let the fireworks, I think I really shouldn't listen to you when I prepare for Chinese New Year's Eve next year, if I set off some fireworks, it will be a little more lively. ”

Zhu Pei retorted, "Don't you think there is a child in this house...... It's going to be lively next year when you have children. What kind of fireworks do you want, aren't you afraid of the cold, and you have to go out to see the fireworks. ”

Child......

It seems to be a child.

There is only one child between the two of them.

Wang Jingshu clung to his warm chest, "You want a son?" Actually, I think my daughter is also good, the little princess is very caring. ”

In fact, this is also a vain question, who doesn't want a son-in-law...... Although he may not be the eldest son, he has the word "heir". Even Wang Jingshu herself wants a son, and the princess who has no son in the royal family just can't hold her head up, just like the former princess who desperately wants to have a son, and then it's like Princess Kang has a son who has a hard waist.

Of course Zhu Pei wants a son in his heart, that is the eldest son, but he also wants a daughter, "Son-in-law and daughter-in-law...... The more the merrier. As he spoke, he pressed her down as if he was about to frolic again.

was pushed away by Wang Jingshu, "Lord Wang, wait a minute, I want to worship my ancestors." Tomorrow's New Year's Day is going to start paying New Year's greetings everywhere, you don't think I'll spend the whole day in bed. ”

When did he become so Meng Lang......

Ancestor worship is an important matter, Zhu Pei suppressed the fire in his heart for a long time, and only hugged her tightly, "Then I will also hold you." ”

Why is he so good all of a sudden...... Wang Jingshu, who was hugged tightly, began to suffer from gains and losses, and began to worry about whether this favor would disappear soon...... Just to have a son-in-law?

But it doesn't seem to be.

She can't always feel completely at ease.

Sister Wang Jingshu didn't pass a letter with Princess Yi, "Count the days, Sister Ning Fang has also given birth." I wonder if she got her wish? ”

Zhu Peiben's doting eyes suddenly froze, and instantly returned to normal, interjecting into the conversation, "I heard that you are an aunt?" Did the young lady of the Wang family give birth? ”

There are some things that can't be hidden from him.

Wang Jingshu naturally mentioned the conversation to her niece and niece whom she had not yet met, "Yes, the little maid who sent the Wang family's New Year's gift told me a message." My sister-in-law gave birth to a girl, and she asked me to give her a name. I'm still thinking about the name. It's better for the prince to think about it. ”

Zhu Pei suddenly raised a little interest, "What is the name of the next generation of the Wang family?" ”

Wang Jingshu thought back to the past, "I heard my father say that Hao Nian is quiet and pure...... My generation is a static word, so the next generation should be a pure word, pure and pure. ”

Zhu Pei was puzzled, "Then why isn't the Tang girl a static character?" ”

Wang Jingshu explained, "What did the prince say? Although my uncle and my father are brothers, my uncle passed on to my grandfather's younger brother when he was a child. Therefore, according to the family tree, the characters of the children and grandchildren are different. Although his uncle was adopted, his grandparents raised him on the grounds that his grandfather and brother had died too early. ”

"No wonder...... "one is a high-ranking official in Kyoto, and the other is in a corner of the north, obviously a brother but does not move around much all year round." Zhu Pei really knew about these things of the Wang family for the first time, "That's it, don't talk about this." Think of your niece's name yourself, and this king won't worry about it. ”

Wang Jingshu sighed lightly, "Time is really fast, even I have become an aunt, but I don't know when I will see my niece." ”

Zhu Pei replied uncertainly, "Yes, next year, we will go back to Kyoto for the New Year." ”

Wang Jingshu chatted and began to feel sleepy, "I'm a little sleepy......"

"Hey, let's celebrate the New Year together!"

Wang Jingshu's eyes couldn't open, "People are really sleepy." ”

Zhu Pei was afraid that she would not be able to worship her ancestors in time when she fell asleep, so he pulled her up, "No, you can't sleep, otherwise I will sleep with you!" ”

Wang Jingshu immediately glared at him soberly, and then hurriedly got off the kang, this time the sleepiness disappeared, "Okay, okay, it's time to put on the court clothes, it's time to order the people to arrange everywhere, and when it comes at zero o'clock, they will worship their ancestors." ”

Zhu Pei also got off the kang, "Do you remember this?" I thought you were sleepy and forgot. As soon as the words fell, she glared again.

This princess gets angry easily......

It's just that Zhu Pei was not annoyed, and watched the princess open the door of the house and instructed everyone to go inside to serve.

The two began to wear the crown and court clothes of the prince and princess. As soon as the master gave the order, the people in the entire house began to get busy, performing their duties and preparing for the ancestor worship ceremony at zero hour.

The whole process of worshipping ancestors in the palace is slightly different from that of worshipping ancestors in the imperial city. Those women in the backyard of the deep house can also worship their ancestors. At about the end of the Mohai period, except for the side concubines who kept filial piety, everyone else was neatly dressed and knelt outside the ancestral hall one by one according to their positions, of course, they could only kneel outside.

The only people who can enter the ancestral hall are the princess, princess and their children.

Now that the prince has no children under his knees, there are only two princes and princesses standing in the huge ancestral hall, and there is a kneeling salute officer, and a group of maids kneeling in the corner with refreshments.

As soon as 0:00 arrives, the bell rings, and the first day of the first month arrives.

The ancestor worship ceremony officially began, and the celebrant recited the prayers and sacrifices one by one.

Three kneels and nine knocks -

Raise incense and pray –

Refreshment Offering –

Wang Jingshu didn't know how many times she knelt with the prince...... Wearing a heavy phoenix crown, wearing heavy court clothes, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, even any ceremony can not be missed in the slightest...... She only felt that her whole body was going to be crushed, and she hadn't worn a crown dress for a long time.

This ancestor worship ceremony was held for a whole hour and finally ended, and at the same time, candles and lanterns were lit throughout the palace, illuminating the night.

In the eyes of the royal people, only after worshipping ancestors can the new year officially begin.

This is the seventeenth year of the Xing Dynasty Deqing.
