Chapter 291: New Year's Family Feast
Compared with the people, the way the royal family spends the New Year is more ceremonial.
Before dawn, Long Tianyu, who was wearing a brand-new dress, entered the palace.
All the princes and harem ladies have to follow the prince to the Taihe Hall in the palace to greet the ancestors. Then it was to receive loyal ministers in the Lama Hall to worship, although the emperor fell ill, but the etiquette should still be indispensable.
Finally, there is the palace banquet in the Chongqing Palace.
On the way into the palace, the four girls were silent. In the palace, everywhere is newly decorated, festive and solemn. Carriages, large and small, are walking on the main road of the imperial city.
Lin Mengya gently lifted the curtain, and not far away, the majestic palace was gloomy. Countless palace lamps illuminate the palace as if it were daylight.
Everyone wore the newly made dresses in the palace, and even the coachmen who drove the cars from various families also changed into new clothes.
"It's a new atmosphere, I didn't expect this year to pass so quickly."
At the beginning of the year, she was still a pitiful little in the general's mansion who was abused by her stepmother. Unexpectedly, after only half a year, she has become Princess Yu in the royal family, everyone knows and everyone knows. Times change, and the future is always full of uncertainties.
"I still remember that last year, I kept the New Year in the house with my master and son. The old man and the young master didn't come back, and the master and I stayed next to a charcoal basin. The servants brought us a lot of sweet potatoes and chestnuts, and we hid them in the fire. I still remember the scent. ”
Bai Zhi's little face was a little yearning. Although the previous days were hard, she and Miss lived very simply.
"Speaking of which, I want to eat it too. A few days ago, I asked my sister-in-law who helped the cook to leave us a few of the sweetest sweet potatoes. When we get home, we'll roast it in a brazier, okay? ”
Bai Shao's big eyes flashed with the joy of expectation. Roasted sweet potatoes are obviously the most common food, but because they are ordinary, they have been approved by everyone.
"Yes, you must not be able to eat well at the palace banquet or something. When it's over, let's come back and eat sweet potatoes together. ”
Lin Mengya remembered her previous memory, when she was in college, she had no family. My good friends also went back to their respective homes for the New Year.
Although her classmates have also invited her, she is an outsider, and she can't bother others after all.
Looking at the girls in the carriage, who suddenly became talking and laughing, she finally felt that she also had a family.
"The Changting Gate has arrived, please get off the bus and walk to the Chongqing Palace."
Outside the sedan chair, there were already people waiting for the inner guard. Every family member who comes out of the carriage will have a grandmother to lead him to the Chongqing Palace.
Lin Mengya is no exception, no one will play a big name here. You know, this is a royal palace banquet, not an ordinary family banquet.
When they got out of the carriage, there was a white and pure grandmother waiting in front of them. Seeing Lin Mengya, she immediately saluted and said:
"Greetings to Princess Yu, the slave maid is Mama Li of the Teaching and Guidance Division, please move the princess and go to Chongqing Hall with the slave and maid."
Lin Mengya nodded, but still instructed Bai Qian, took out a golden purse, and stuffed it to Mama Li.
After all, this is an old practice in the palace, and it is also a reason to give children New Year's money for the New Year.
Other people are fine, but after all, they are not as generous as Lin Mengya. Mama Li suddenly smiled, and she was also three points more enthusiastic about Lin Mengya.
"Oh, that's all right. Slave and maid, how can you accept such a valuable thing from the princess? ”
Bai Qi stuffed it into her hand familiarly, and replied with a smile:
"Mama works hard, this idea, Mama should accept it."
The last time she came, the girls around her would only praise the wealth of this day. When I came this time, even Angelica Angelica was able to cope with it easily.
It seems that it is not only her who has grown up, Princess Yu.
Entering the Changting Gate and passing through the Imperial Garden, the Chongqing Hall was already close in front of you. Lin Mengya's eyes looked at the only dark place in the palace.
I heard that it was the emperor's bedroom. Since a year ago, the emperor has not been out of the gate of the palace. After taking a deep look, Lin Mengya only felt that there was a burst of coldness inside.
Conspiracy and power tricks have never been twin brothers who will never be separated.
Before I arrived at the Chongqing Palace, I had already heard the sound of silk and bamboo inside. Everyone was dressed up, so she was suspicious and low-key, and she didn't attract too many people's attention.
"Third sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're still so beautiful."
A slightly frivolous voice came, Lin Mengya turned her head sideways, and sure enough, she saw Long Qinghan.
is different from the ordinary swinger's dress, today's Long Qinghan is wearing a bright yellow dress. It adds a bit of luxury.
A young and handsome face, always with a relaxed smile.
"Yes, you honored guest, but you don't come to the door for anything. I heard that you linger in the warm jade fragrance every day, but there are one or two favorites who you bring over for us to see. ”
Lin Mengya joked mercilessly, the reputation of the Seven Princes was not much better.
Long Qinghan had already seen the third sister-in-law's mouth cannon skills, and knew that the more he depicted it, the darker it became, so he could only pretend to smile honestly.
To be honest, her impression of Long Qinghan is still not bad. Compared with the domineering and selfish prince, this seventh prince with a bit of a game mentality in her conversation and laughter made her feel more relaxed.
"By the way, third sister-in-law, I heard that the queen cares about the two of you. Look, today's Kabuki is not just a person from the Imperial Music Workshop. I heard that a new Wenyuan has opened in the city, called the North Building. Today's singing and dancing were all arranged by the two wonderful people in the North Building. ”
North Building? In Lin Mengya's mind, two graceful figures immediately appeared. Mei Gongzi and Zhu Gongzi, it seems that they are really Long Tianyu's favorites.
Otherwise, how could such a royal banquet arrange for them to come in?
is really in love, and the slightest grievance will not be borne by Mei Gongzi.
Seeing Lin Mengya's face change slightly, Long Qinghan also felt that he had lost his words. The relationship between the third brother and Beilou is very clear to him.
It's just that seeing Lin Mengya's performance, his heart can't help but rise with a touch of fun. Could it be that the third sister-in-law doesn't know that the third brother is actually the owner behind the North Building?
"I know, he likes Mei Gongzi. I also know that sooner or later, Mei Gongzi will be welcomed into the mansion by him. I'm not the kind of stingy woman, I'm just a good person. Wouldn't I take it to heart, then I'm not too stingy? ”
This is said in a comfortable manner. But no matter how stupid Long Qinghan was, he could hear the thick acetic acid gas inside.
Well? Okay, where do you start!
Long Qinghan only thought it was very interesting, he originally thought that a woman like the third sister-in-law would definitely not be sour and vinegar. But I didn't expect that this smart woman was jealous, and it was extremely interesting.
"Third sister-in-law, aren't you really angry?"
Long Qinghan still couldn't help but tease Lin Mengya, oh my God, there is finally one thing that can keep the third sister-in-law in the dark. Looking at her real reaction, all of a sudden, a strong sense of superiority profoundly nourished the little demon in Long Qinghan's heart.
"Angry? I'm angry, if you have this spare time, eat more, drink more, and shut your dog's mouth. ”
The smile on Lin Mengya's face was a little cold, it seems that Long Tianyu has not climbed the wall once or twice. Or, the whole world knows about it, and it's just hiding it from her?
Walked to her position angrily, Lin Mengya really had the heart to beat Long Tianyu's dead guy to death a hundred times.
No, Lin Mengya comforted herself, anyway, she had already decided to leave. Long Tianyu was willing to climb the wall, so he climbed it. Anyway, these things have nothing to do with her in the future!
Dead stallions! It's better to die on a woman's belly!
"Ahh
Long Tianyu suddenly sneezed, and there was a deep chill on his back, making him feel his hairs stand upside down.
But when I looked around, it was strange, and there was no danger around.
"Lord Wang, someone is here."
The black figure of the night, like a light night owl, quietly appeared in front of Long Tianyu.
In the empty side hall, only a few candles flickered. The shadows of the people were like shaky black cobwebs.
A thin figure slowly appeared in the side hall.
The visitor looked like a woman, wearing a snow-white cloak that covered her face.
"How's the preparation?"
Long Tianyu's voice was low, presumably extremely familiar with the figure in front of him.
"Everything is ready, and the surroundings of the Chongqing Hall are already full of our people. Near the emperor's bedroom, our dark line has also been ambushed. Just wait for the banquet and take advantage of its unpreparedness to do it in one fell swoop. ”
A cold female voice, without adding any emotional voice. Long Tianyu nodded and looked at the only palace without light in the darkness.
It's fast, it's fast. Father, he must be rescued.
"In the future, don't let Mei Lai's mansion go. She is too ostentatious, if someone finds out, the relationship between me and Beilou will be exposed. You are so imprudent, you as a leader, you should know how to do it. ”
Long Tianyu's eyes were very serious, and the North Building was part of his forces. It was mainly used to hide the hidden forces in the capital, but that day, Mei broke into the mansion without any instructions to deliver medicine to him.
Although Mei is not one of the Four Holy Guards, in the end, he is also the famous Mei Gongzi in the capital.
It's easy, and someone with a heart learns the news.
"What? May went to your house? Please condemn the prince, Zhu didn't know that she went to your mansion. When I go back, I will punish her severely! ”
The white cloak slipped off in an instant, and what was revealed inside was indeed Zhu Gongzi, the owner of the famous North Building in the capital.
Although she was wearing a veil, her eyes were very frightened, revealing that she knew nothing and was strict with Long Tianyu's rule.
