I haven't been with Kangxi for a long time, and I finally returned to work today. Leaning back on the couch and flipping through the file in his hand, I couldn't help but think of the contents of the note that Butterfly Seventeen had stuffed into me that day. I looked up at Kangxi, but I still didn't say anything to him after all.

The snow outside the window hasn't stopped, it's mid-December, and it's almost the New Year. The palace has been busy since the beginning of the month, and at the end of the year, this is probably the busiest time. When I cooked Laba porridge on the eighth day of the first month, I forgot which elder brother Kangxi asked to cook porridge and worship the Buddha. It seems to be the twelfth elder brother brought up by Aunt Su Mala. It is related to Buddhism, and Kangxi always likes to let the fifth master and the twelfth elder brother go to work. The word blessing was also hung everywhere in the palace, and Kangxi Ye also wrote a lot of blessing words and gave it to the princes and ministers.

In the middle of the month, the treasure seals should be scrubbed, and the yamen should be sealed. Twenty-three is a small year to sacrifice the stove, twenty-four Qianqing Palace hanging sky lanterns. Twenty-six hanging couplets, door gods. To New Year's Day - that is, the first day of the New Year, incense, worship Buddha, and respect ancestors. This is the beginning of a new year.

In addition to accompanying Kangxi Ye to approve the folds every day, I watched the eunuchs and palace maids paste blessing characters and hang longevity lanterns. It's too busy, but it also has a lot less time to think about it. The investigation of the Eighth Master incident has long been over, and the result is basically nothing. I took this as an opportunity to strengthen the training and work of the Secret Guard.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming, Liang Jiugong picked up good materials and cut a lot of new clothes for me at the behest of Kangxi, according to my meaning, they are naturally light and elegant clothes, but Kangxi said that I was too plain, and the Queen Mother also complained that I was not dressed up bright enough, so there were a few more red, pink, rose, and so on in the materials I picked. When the ready-to-wear arrived, I couldn't help but sigh that my original wardrobe was too small to fit so many clothes. So, I changed my wardrobe at the end of the year. It's really a new year.

Busy like this, the thirteenth master will definitely report to my small courtyard every day, drink tea and chat with me, and every two days the little eighteen will skip class and run, sometimes the three of us will play in the snow in the small courtyard.

And just like that, the days went by, and the Chinese New Year's Eve came......

The Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace is a blessing for the palace people to fool over, because New Year's Day, that is, the first day of the new year, is the main event. So, for the first time in so many years, I had a Chinese New Year's Eve without having a reunion dinner. And this day was not as idle as imagined. Because there are a lot of ceremonies on New Year's Day, and then there is a banquet in the Taihe Palace, and the queen mother has to make snacks to worship the ancestors. So I had to arrange all the materials and utensils for New Year's Day at the Queen Mother's place, and I also got to the Taihe Hall to check whether the birthday lanterns were appropriate.

At the end of the day, when I returned to the small courtyard, I was no longer in the mood to keep the New Year. I hastily cleaned up and went to bed.

I got up early in the morning, after Kangxi Ye bathed in incense, and watched the palace people put on his court clothes, I adjusted it for him and sent him away. When I went back to the small courtyard, Lan Qi had already prepared hot water for me, and after bathing, I wore a bright red embroidered phoenix and a peony palace dress for the occasion, lightly applied some fat powder, and went to the Queen Mother.

I felt like I was sleepwalking, and I stayed up until dinner was approaching dinner with no real feeling. I had to eat today's dinner by myself, and the banquet in the Taihe Hall made me the loneliest person today.

But what I didn't expect was that when I pushed open the door of the small courtyard, what I saw would be such a scene-

A dozen elder brothers are in my hut with open doors and in my small courtyard, it's terrifying......

The thirteenth master was waiting for me at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw me come in, he hurriedly greeted me and said, "Girl, happy New Year!" You're so beautiful today! ”
