Looking at Lin Ruo, Xijiao and Su Muyu, who were talking and laughing, Qu Xiaoxiang was a little envious. She still has the cream cream that Lin Ruo gave her in her hand, and whether she uses it or not is still under consideration. Unexpectedly, the footsteps approached, and when she turned around, she found that it was her brother, Qu Chun, the current son of Zhennan Houshizi.

"Second brother?"

Qu Chun responded lightly, and then said: "This Princess Rong is not simple. ”

"You...... Did you hear that? ”

"Her guards stopped me, so I didn't hear much."

"Guards?"

"It's supposed to be the Dark Guard."

"Can the dark guard enter the palace?"

Qu Xiaoxiang was quite surprised.

"Well, I heard that the emperor specially allowed her to protect her."

"It seems that the emperor really likes her."

Qu Chun responded lightly with a "hmm", and turned to look at Qu Xiaoxiang's hand: "Is it serious?" ”

"It's fine." Qu Xiaoxiang spread her hands, "She gave me a 'cream', and went home to let the doctor see if it was useful." ”

Qu Chun had no objection, and finally glanced in the direction where Lin Ruo and the others left, and then took Qu Xiaoxiang back to the Linde Palace.

At the end of the day, the Chinese New Year's Eve feast is over.

Although the emperor feasted his favorite ministers and their families in the Lin De Hall to show his favor, he would still let the ministers go home and spend it with their families during the New Year's celebration.

Although he knew that Lin Ruo was also alone when he returned to King Rong's Mansion, Emperor Mingzong and the Empress Dowager still did not leave her in the palace. After all, it is Princess Rong, even if Murong Chong is not in Bian'an City, as the head of the Rong Palace, Lin Ruo also needs to stay in the palace to keep the New Year, this is the rule.

As for the task of escorting Lin Ruo home, it fell to Su Muyu without exception.

Logically speaking, this is not in accordance with the law of etiquette.

However, before the county lord of Minhui came out of the cabinet, he had a bad relationship with Su Shizi, and even Prince Rong didn't mind, so they didn't have a place to put their beaks.

Besides, Su Shizi was already ordered by the emperor to be responsible for the security of Gyeonggi City in the middle of the first month, and it is understandable for him to take the city defense army to escort Princess Rong, who participated in the banquet, back to the house.

The important thing is that Emperor Mingzong believes that Su Muyu will protect Lin Ruo's safety.

If someone dares to say more, hehe, directly press down the word "holy decree", and no one will dare to chew the root of the tongue more.

arrived at the palace safely, Su Muyu did not stay, the old man at home was still waiting for him to return to the Hou Mansion, although he was quite willing to stay in the palace. But the New Year's Day made the old man feel bad, and he would not be in a good mood for the whole year.

Seeing Su Muyu leave dejectedly, Lin Ruo shook his head helplessly.

Tao Fu had been waiting for a long time and welcomed Lin Ruo into the mansion.

In the courtyard of the palace, rows of fireworks have been arranged, and they will be lit when the time comes.

The maidservants were also waiting in the hall, all with joy on their faces. Talking and laughing, the atmosphere is very lively.

"Miss, this is the first time we haven't celebrated the New Year with the old master and young master in the Lin Mansion......" Youcao whispered in Lin Ruo's ear, "but it's also quite lively." ”

Lin Ruoqian smiled: "Yes, it's quite lively." ”

"I heard that when the prince was in the mansion in the past, he had a cold face during the New Year, and there was no New Year's atmosphere. As soon as you come this year, Miss, everything will be different, as if this palace has come to life. ”

"Really?"

Tao Fu leaned over and said affirmatively: "Really! But the master also knows his temperament, so he stopped early, and we made trouble, and even the red envelopes were sent by my father. However, even if the master is not there, we don't dare to make too much noise......"

Lin Ruo imagined the picture depicted by Tao Fu, the Chinese New Year's Eve picture that seemed to be a thief and celebrated noisily, which was quite funny.

"Bang bang", the sound of a few big iron spoons attracted everyone's attention, and I saw Sister-in-law Feng in the kitchen coming over with a big spoon in the kitchen, shouting at the top of her voice: "I said that you should come to the kitchen to help!" Otherwise, when the time comes, no one will want to eat dumplings! ”

Steward Tao twisted his beard and smiled, and ordered a lot of people to follow Sister-in-law Feng to the kitchen, and then stopped.

"Princess, it's less than midnight in less than a moment, you see, isn't it time to light this firework?"

Tao Fu asked tentatively, asking what Lin Ruo meant, but the eagerness and eagerness in his eyes couldn't hide it.

Sure enough, the joy of the New Year is regardless of age, gender or gender.

Lin Ruo nodded and approved his proposal: "Let's prepare the lishi and the lottery head together." ”

"Okay!"

Tao Fuli responded to the ground, beckoned a few people and began to carry out the prepared things. And the little guy who is ready to light the fireworks also gets a long incense stick for the fire, and when the time comes, he lights the fire to celebrate.

"呲呲呲~"

The firework was ignited.

"Whoa—"

A salute shot up into the sky, lighting up the night sky and then blooming in the sky.

Immediately after that, another shot, two more......

The night sky is lit up by a continuous stream of five-colored ceremonial flowers, which bloom in brilliant colors in the air.

Under a fire tree and silver flowers, everyone heard the distant bell.

"When, when, when......"

There were twelve rings.

It was the New Year's bell, far away, long, echoing throughout the city of Bian'an.

More fireworks rose in the night sky, lighting up the entire city of Bian'an as if it were day.

Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, sleepless nights.

"It's the New Year, it's the New Year!"

Everywhere there was cheers of joy, and everywhere was filled with the joy of the New Year.

"Dumplings are coming!"

In the cheers and shouts of joy, the words of Sister-in-law Feng, who was originally loud, were quickly drowned out. However, the overflowing fragrance can't be stopped!

You have to eat dumplings for the New Year, but you can't just have dumplings!

The delicacies are served on plates like flowing water, accompanied by steaming dumplings, which will make your thumbs move.

Someone couldn't wait to stretch out the chopsticks, ready to grab the first dumpling, but was slapped by the quick-eyed blameless Tao Fu, and scolded with a smile: "The princess hasn't moved the chopsticks yet, you kid will put down the chopsticks first?" It's all a princess and a good bully, isn't it? ”

The man touched his head and laughed, realizing that he had lost his manners, and immediately admitted his mistake.

Lin Ruo didn't care, and smiled: "New Year's Day, isn't it just a fun?" You can eat as much as you want, and you don't have to be inhibited. ”

Although Lin Ruo said this, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and did not move their chopsticks.

Lin Ruo picked up a dumpling and put it in the bowl, and then said: "Sister-in-law Feng has wrapped ten dumplings with copper coins in these dumplings, whoever eats them, come to me to receive the lottery!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Tao Fu, and Tao Fu hurriedly took out a wooden box from the box and handed it to Lin Ruo.

"A copper coin, for a gold bead!"

When I opened the wooden box, there were ten round gold beads inside, shining brightly, and everyone's eyes were straight!

Princess Rong is really generous!

This gold bead is about to catch up with most of the year's salary!

Looking at everyone's stunned gaze, Lin Ruo smiled: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and grab dumplings to eat! It's late, the gold beads are someone else's! ”
