In a blink of an eye, the rest of the year, without breaking a finger, can be counted, everyone is recuperating for the last excitement at the end of the year, hoping that the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve can dispel the year's unhappiness and usher in a new Ruyi New Year.

On the twenty-nineth, the red lanterns and colorful blessing bags hung everywhere in the palace, tearing off the old charms that have faded, replaced with bright and colorful new peaches, and the red plums of the imperial garden are also in full bloom today, so that the festive atmosphere of the palace is decorated in place.

The occasion of reunion is coming, and Da Chu has always adhered to the tradition of the country before the family, the thirty reunion, is the day before the king to gather warmth with his family, the day before the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there is also a reunion, it is the king to gather with the courtiers and all the people, so today, it is the day when the royal family invites the courtiers of all clans to enter the palace to gather with the Son of Heaven.

According to the rules, before the banquet, the courtiers should follow Chu Zikai to discuss various matters related to the sacrifice of the ancestors in the New Year, and the family members they brought can gather together to drink tea and talk during this period.

Therefore, noon has not yet arrived, and the excitement of the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet has not officially begun, but the noise piled up with human voices has long been spread far away.

It just so happened that the sun was buried by the wind and snow for many days, and finally gave people a little face today, and it was already hanging high in the morning, illuminating all parts of the palace, the warm light reflected the white snow, and the white snow reflected the red plum, and it became a golden red sea of flowers in the long snow, dazzling and vivid.

This kind of scenery is not eye-catching, after the lotus flower ran out to take a look, she went back to Chaohui Palace to describe it, so that Yu Zhao, who was trapped in the house and was in a panic, heard itchy, and couldn't lie on the couch at all, so she had to grind hard and beg Zhuo Yao to relax and let her go out to bask in the sun.

Instigating the jasmine lotus flowers to make trouble together, Zhuo Yao couldn't beat Yu Zhao after all, and thought that at today's dinner, she was the most respected imperial concubine, and she couldn't avoid moving to the banquet hall to show up with everyone, so she reluctantly agreed, and ordered the palace people to go to clear the snow and open the way, and then personally helped her to go to the imperial garden.

It was rare to have a chance to come out for a walk, and met a warm sunny day when the sun shone on the earth, Yu Zhao was surrounded by people and walked forward slowly, laughing with the people in the palace all the way, and the mood was exceptionally good.

The people who can be attracted by the beautiful scenery will naturally not be the only one Yu Zhao, even Concubine Liu, who has been sick for many days, is willing to leave the warm house to come out to admire, not to mention the group of concubines who have been looking for a lively pile station all day long, they even came to hear the wind, and took the opportunity to play haha with all the women.

A group of palace people, guarding Yu Zhao into the door of the imperial garden, the movement was naturally not small, the two waves of people were caught off guard and met in this way, their eyes collided, they were all a little stunned, they only kept vigilant and looked at each other without speaking, secretly surging their thoughts.

Since Ye Cheng came back, Yu Zhao was lazy and bothered to deal with people, and Chu Zikai also relied on her and helped her push many courtiers to meet her, so she had very few opportunities to meet with everyone.

Relying on the name of the biological mother of the Four Sages King, she has been majestic in this palace for several years, and Concubine Liu's arrogance has indeed risen a lot, but she does not dare to forget the methods she has seen in those years, and Concubine Chen has given her life to rectify people, and the fear of it in her heart seems to have become instinct, which can be buried, but it has never dissipated.

Coldly, a face similar to Concubine Chen appeared in front of her, even though Concubine Liu had previously inquired about the news through tens of millions of channels, she had already known that the appearance of Concubine Yi from the Nanrong Mansion in Xifan was extremely similar to Concubine Yu Chen, the first emperor back then. thought she was mentally prepared, but when she really faced it, she was still uncontrollably afraid in her heart.

The people in the crowd felt frightened and frightened, not only Concubine Liu, who was all present, most of them had seen what Concubine Chen looked like, and when they saw Yu Zhao at this time, they were all secretly surprised in their hearts, staring at Yu Zhao with big eyes in disbelief, looking at Yu Zhao who was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but take a step back.

was expected, such a look, Yu Zhao had already seen it on the faces of Liu Zhaorong and others, but he didn't react much with his steady demeanor, and after stopping, he calmly accepted everyone's greetings, completely ignoring the eyes of Concubine Liu and the women who saw a ghost in broad daylight, and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

The atmosphere after the salute really became a little embarrassing, Yu Zhao was not afraid of the eyes of the people in front of him who were secretly looking, took a step and continued to walk forward, and carefully noticed that it was Liu Zhaorong who was holding Concubine Liu's left hand, and the person holding the right hand was similar to Liu Zhaorong's eyebrows and eyes, and it should be Chu Ziyang's side concubine.

And Concubine Liu's genuine daughter-in-law Yu Zhu was scolded far away by her disgust, Yu Zhao still did not forget the complaint she told herself when she met Yu Zhu on the street in Jingzhou that day, and now seeing that she is willing to show up on such occasions, she knows that her own point has played a little effect, and her heart is a little calm, and she will set her eyes on Concubine Liu again.

After calming down and calming down her good mood, in an instant, Concubine Liu regained her lofty momentum, met Yu Zhao's gaze, and began to look at her boldly, but she was reluctant to speak, and her chin was raised high, as if to show that whoever spoke first would lose.

"The concubine is well." Although he was extremely reluctant to deal with people like Concubine Liu who took their snobbery to the extreme, Yu Zhao still chose to do the superficial kung fu of respecting the old man in order not to be talked about, and after bowing his head slightly, he still greeted her first.

Seeing that Yu Zhao took the lead in bowing her head, Concubine Liu felt that with her qualifications, she really still had the upper hand, and thought about the fact that Concubine Yi had mistakenly worn a dragon-patterned bedrobe and punished herself, so she was even more sure that although the appearance of this person in front of her was similar to Concubine Chen, she would definitely not be as arrogant and ruthless as her.

It's not a hard stone, it must be a soft persimmon that is easy to handle, the little caution in Concubine Liu's heart immediately dissipated completely, pretended to clear her throat, and was helped forward by someone, as if scrutinizing, she glanced at Yu Zhao up and down, and said slowly in a steady voice:

"Presumably, this is the concubine Yi Niangniang who makes His Majesty love inseparable, you came that day, I was still sick, it was not good to visit you in person, I was still looking forward to you coming to my palace to talk to me to relieve boredom, but I didn't look forward to it for a long time, isn't it that Your Majesty sees you closely, so you can't come anytime, so it's such rude?"
