Approaching Yuanzheng, there will be a holiday in the palace three days in advance.

The necessary duty personnel, all new recruits or minor officials who don't matter, stayed to deal with special situations, and the rest of the officials took a seven-day holiday, finally ushering in the longest and justifiable vacation of the year. The palaces were busy, cleaning the palace gates, and placing flowers cultivated in the flower rooms everywhere, decorating the palace with joy.

Chonghua Palace is the most lively, Empress Dowager Zhang is dressed in a new dress, with a string of jade Buddha beads, jasper forehead, and a string of good imperial jade Buddha strings in her hand, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and was amused by the juniors who came to visit her.

On the festive day, everyone said good words of congratulations and congratulations, and did not mention the crisis and troubles. Every day, people enter the palace to greet the Empress Dowager Zhang, the princes, the ladies and wives of the officials, and the concubines and concubines of the palace are endless, and the Empress Dowager Zhang, who has been quiet for a long time, is rarely lively, and she has eaten more than half a bowl of rice in the past two days.

Lan Beichen took Xia Jinse into the palace and also came to see Empress Dowager Zhang once.

Lan Beichen sent a pair of jade Ruyi, Xia Jinse originally wanted to send some jade ornaments, but after hearing Emperor Yuanqing say that Empress Dowager Zhang had slept a lot in the past six months, perhaps because Puji Temple was frightened that night, and there were a lot more nightmares, she temporarily changed her mind.

Xia Jinse picked out a few boxes of tranquilizing brain fluid in the medical cabin, changed the packaging and sent them over. After all, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and although it is practical, it is not very good.

As soon as the packaging was changed, the delicate glass bottle looked completely different from the porcelain bottle used by the imperial doctors, cute and exquisite. Coupled with the pocket-sized little straw, Empress Dowager Zhang was surprised and surprised. I heard that this is the 'Xianmengqiong Syrup' made by Xia Jinse especially for her, and she sleeps well after eating it to help her sleep, as if she is happy or something.

In addition, Xia Jinse also sent a latex health care pillow.

This was originally for her own use, a pair, in the lounge in the office of the medical cabin, and she had a small bed in front of her, which was used to rest when she was tired. This pair of latex pillows cost her thousands at the beginning, which is breathable and comfortable, fits the curve of the neck, and is most suitable for elderly people like Empress Dowager Zhang who do not sleep well.

The pillowcase was made by Aunt Yao, embroidered a month in advance, although the pattern is a rich and expensive peony, which looks a little cheesy, but Empress Dowager Zhang likes it.

got Xia Jinse's latex pillow, Empress Dowager Zhang was originally casually polite, but that night she ate a bottle of soothing brain tonic liquid, and then tried to use the pillow, and the effect was so good that she fell asleep in a while. After a dreamless night, Empress Dowager Zhang finally enjoyed the taste of sleep again, and the surprise was conceivable.

For her, no amount of gold and silver wealth can be exchanged for health and peace of mind, although Xia Jinse's gift looks ordinary, but it is the most popular for her. Empress Dowager Zhang, who had already changed her opinion, liked Xia Jinse more and more, and directly sent someone to send a bunch of rewards, including pearl and jade antiques, brocade cloth, worth no less than hundreds of thousands.

After everyone found out, they secretly felt that the ninth princess was ingenious, and she casually pleased the Empress Dowager Zhang.

is more effective to imitate, take the opportunity to enter the palace to dig out the hollow mind and knock on the side of the Empress Dowager Zhang's preferences and recent situation. Asking too much, but it is self-defeating, so that the Empress Dowager Zhang is annoyed, if it is not for the New Year's auspicious is really going to be angry,

In the end, it can only be deduced.

When he returned from the palace, two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Xia Jinse stayed at home with Lan Beichen, reading books and talking every day. When they were idle, the two went to the kitchen to cook by themselves, and their feelings increased like flowing water in their time.

Mr. Guan has been busy for a year, and Xia Jinse is also going to take his vacation, and I heard that Mr. Guan has a wife and a son at home. Although his wife is a small jasper, she also manages everything well at home, which wins his heart. My son is 16 years old and is studying in a college, but he does not have the heart of the imperial examination, but is interested in traveling in astronomy and humanities in various places.

Xia Jinse gave Mr. Guan a monthly example, and a year-end bonus of five hundred taels of silver, so that he could go back for a good year.

Although she didn't live in Jingheyuan, Xia Junping lived temporarily, and it was a year before he left the capital, and the monthly rules of the girl had to be followed. Fortunately, there are more girls in the Jin Palace, Xia Jinse was the housewife for the first time, and when she sent the money, she didn't know how many people there were in the entire Jin Palace.

The whole courtyard was full, and it was only an important little person in each courtyard. Uncle He is the chief housekeeper, and there are more than ten deputy stewards below, who are responsible for caimai, repair, warehouse, gardening, accounting, Zhuangzi and so on. Everyone is responsible for what they want to do, and then report to Uncle He for unified management.

There are fewer girls in each courtyard, after all, there was no hostess to serve before, there were more people, plus the guards, Xia Jinse couldn't remember it at all.

She asked Lan Beichen why there were so many people, after all, there were not many masters in the entire Jin Palace, just the two of them, such hundreds of people serving her and Lan Beichen were simply too extravagant and wasteful.

Lan Beichen said: "You only see the two of us, but to maintain the operation of the entire palace, how many people should be busy?" Not to mention the shops and granges under the name of the Jin Palace, just the care of flowers and trees, less than twenty or thirty can't be taken care of. ”

Xia Jinse reacted at this time, although the grass and trees in the Jin Palace's mansion were fairy, they really needed to be taken care of. Otherwise, when spring goes to autumn, even if you love it again, the sky will be beautiful, but I am afraid that it will rise like a weed and become a wild land.

More than 100 people, all the monthly silver plus the year-end bonus, a total of more than 6,000 taels of silver. Lan Beichen's family is rich, and Xia Jinse will also make money, although this is a drop in the bucket for ordinary people, they are not worth mentioning.

After dealing with these, a few dishes on Lan Beichen's side were also fried, and the two had lunch together intimately, simple and comfortable, just like the most ordinary folk couple.

Two days passed in a flash, and Chinese New Year's Eve was definitely going to enter the palace.

Knowing that he was going to keep the New Year tonight, Lan Beichen let Xia Jinse sleep for a while, and he didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. Breakfast was a longan wolfberry poached egg cooked by Lan Beichen himself, plus a bowl of sesame rice balls, Xia Jinse was full of sweetness and greasy after eating, and ate half a bowl of sour noodle soup to relieve greasy, so he was satisfied.

"The princess has been in a good mood lately, and she has eaten a lot." Mu Xiang came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Xia Jinse's increasingly mellow face and smiled: "The face is ruddy, and the skin is good, it is really refreshing for people to be happy at happy events." ”

Chaiyun was putting a jade pendant on Xia Jinse's waist, preparing to enter the palace, and laughed when he heard it

said: "The princess just needs to eat and sleep well in order to give birth to a white and fat little prince and a little princess for the prince." ”

Xia Jinse blushed suddenly, and took a sip of her: "What's the hurry, just expect me to give birth to one, aren't you afraid of the annoyance?" ”

Chasing Yun hurriedly said: "How can it be noisy!" The palace is too clean, the slave and maid wish the princess had a few more, and in a few years, the courtyard will be full of the laughter of the little prince and the little county lord, how lively and happy. ”

"That's it! The princess has to get pregnant quickly, so that the slave and maid have something to do, otherwise they will be idle all day long, and everyone will be idle and moldy. Aunt Yao chattered all day long, saying that she was old and useless, and she secretly embroidered how many small shoes and clothes for the princess, just waiting to come in handy. Mu Xiang also muttered, looking like he didn't know the blessing in the blessing.

Xia Jinse glanced at Lan Beichen, who was sitting under the window, waiting for her with a smile, and glared at him shyly.

After serving, Chasing Yun and Mu Xiang went out, Xia Jinse walked over and asked him, "What are you laughing at?" Did you make them say this in front of me on purpose? ”

Lan Beichen smiled implicitly, but his eyebrows were full of approval: "This king will give them gossip about this?" It's not that everyone thinks the same way, so you should hurry up and give birth to a son to this king. ”

Xia Jinse pouted: "Hmph, you dislike giving birth to a daughter?" ”

"Okay, that's what you said, we'll try to have a daughter tonight, don't regret it!" Lan Beichen said immediately, got up and hugged her waist, touched her smooth lower abdomen, and said in a low voice: "You say, will there already be our little county lord living here?" ”

Xia Jinse's heart sank, and he almost wanted to push him away: "How is it possible!" ”

Lan Beichen felt that her tone was a little wrong, stared at her and asked, "Jinse, you seem to be unhappy?" ”

"I ...... How's that! Xia Jinse reacted at this time, and quickly changed his words, "I'm not unhappy, I just don't want to give birth so soon, I'm only fifteen, and I'm still a child!" ”

Lan Beichen wanted to laugh when he heard this, and nodded her forehead: "Are you embarrassed?" There are two months to go, so it's sixteen. Other women, there are so many children in the fourteenth and fifth five-year periods, even if you have it now, it's normal. Besides, what you did, treating diseases, saving people, opening a hospital, and going through so much, was it done by children? ”

Sure enough, her thoughts are different from Lan Beichen's, ancient people got married early and gave birth to children early, but in fact, their bodies were not mature. Xia Jinse's profession made her more sensitive to this, and she was secretly taking contraceptive pills for a while, so she was worried that she would accidentally get pregnant.

But taking medicine is not good for her health after all, she really wants to discuss with Lan Beichen, can she let him do anything, anyway, she has a small umbrella in the medical cabin. But listening to what he meant, I wish she had a baby soon!

Some things are hard to say, Xia Jinse can only stare at him, blinking, looking like a poor little milk cat.

"Look at you, such a reluctant look......"

Lan Beichen was suddenly defeated under her eyes, pinched her face and said: "Okay, then let it be, if you have it, you will want it, if you don't have it, you won't be born, okay?" If God rewards you, you can't refuse it, right? ”

Xia Jinse smiled: "As long as you don't mind, I can refuse to be old."

God's reward. ”

His eyes darkened, and then he returned to his normal color, and pecked her lightly on the face: "Okay, you can say whatever you want, and when you want, we will ask for it again." ”

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is actually divided into two parts, one is the celebration of Emperor Yuanqing and the courtiers at noon, and the other is the internal congratulations of the royal family members in the evening, which is almost lively all day. Lan Beichen put a big coat on Xia Jinse and took her out of the door.

All the way to the palace gate, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, all of whom come to the palace to participate in the banquet. got out of the car, everyone walked into the palace, Xia Jinse was greeted all the way, his face was stiff with a smile, Lan Beichen was still the same as usual, his face was pale, and there were few people who could say two words of greeting, and Xia Jinse was envious.

In the Taiji Palace, the palace banquet has been prepared, all the officials gathered, and when Emperor Yuanqing and the Empress Dowager Zhang appeared together, the ministers greeted and sat down, and then it was a song and dance, and the monarchs and ministers had fun.

The palace banquet was extremely luxurious, with sumptuous dishes on the table, melons and fruits fragrant, and the aroma of wine overflowing.

Although Xia Jinse only ate when he went out, he couldn't help but eat a few more bites, and he couldn't stop as soon as he ate it, and he ate some of every dish in front of him, and his index finger moved more and more.

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites spent 300,000 taels to organize today's palace banquet, I'm afraid these dishes alone will cost a lot of silver, right?"

Lan Beichen didn't eat much, and only helped Xia Jinse pick up the dishes: "One-third of the New Year's gifts were spent on the decorations and purchases of each palace, one-third was used for the noon and evening dinners, and the other one-third was fireworks. When it comes to eating, there are basically no people here, but the fireworks at night make people look forward to it. ”
