After entering the wax moon, all parts of the Forbidden City began to get busy. Because December is the month that enters the end of the year, at the end of the year, the emperor will use the imperial pen to write the word "Fu", paste it in the harem of the main hall, and give it to the princes and ministers. The royal brush is in accordance with the ancestral training is the brush used by Kangxi Ye Zhen, this brush is lacquered, the color is dark, the word is filled with gold, and the four characters are engraved with "blessing the common people", which is the "auspicious object" suitable for blessing. The paper paper used for the word "Fu" in the imperial book is mostly made of silk, with dansha as the background color, and the golden cloud dragon pattern is painted on it.

Since the first day of the first month of the lunar month, the Wenchen of the inner court has written the pepper screen and the year axis hanging in the New Year of each palace, presented to the emperor and handed it over to the Internal Affairs Office, according to the content of the auspicious language, draw a picture of the scene, and inscribe on it, make auspicious calligraphy and painting, and offer Zhang Hang to the harem.

After the nineteenth day of the lunar month, it began to set off firecrackers, and on the twentieth, the palace sealed the treasure seal, and on the same day, the Qin Tianjian announced to the world, and the various yamen sealed it as usual. To be put on the lamp, the palace motto map was pasted, the door god, dusting, Delu, fighting ghosts, and worshipping ancestors...... Finally ushered in the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Su Yi was still busy eating in the imperial dining room on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, and did not know about this series of activities from the month to Chinese New Year's Eve, and now she has entered the Hall of Heart Cultivation and served by the emperor's side, naturally understanding all the cases thoroughly, but she feels that she is tired every day, and even Yun Rou's playful and careless nature has begun to be meticulous, and she is often busy forgetting the hour.

Because on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor had to get up and go to the east and west Buddha halls of the Yangxin Hall and more than ten other places in the palace to pay homage to incense, light firecrackers to receive the gods, and the palace maids and eunuchs who served in the Yangxin Hall were very busy, and Su Yi and the others hardly slept all night.

When the emperor returned from receiving the gods, breakfast began, and the breakfast on Chinese New Year's Eve was different from usual, and the emperor no longer ate alone, but had breakfast with the queen, concubine and others. The meals are also richer than usual, there are a product of yellow rice, a product of bird's nest hanging stove duck, hanging stove meat, and a wild hot pot, a hot pot of bird's nest hibiscus duck, a hot pot of stewed duck in Wannian green wine, a product of eight immortal bowls of bird's nest apple fat chicken, a product of green and white jade bowl of duck in soup, a product of green and white jade bowl Eskesen deer tail sauce, a product of golden bowl of broken pheasant, a product of steamed duck and deer tail in a golden bowl, a product of steamed fat duck in Jinpan, a product of Jinpan sheep black fork, a product of roasted venison in Jinpan, a product of roasted wild boar in Jinpan, and a product of Jinpan deer tail, Enamel plate slub roll small steamed bun first product, enamel plate sweet potato product, enamel plate rice cake one, enamel sunflower box side dish one. There are a total of 21 products above. In addition, the queen and concubines each use a silk table, and place tea in equal ranks, including green dragon yellow bowl dishes, Ji red bowl dishes, etc. There are also one dish of yellow rice, two dishes of gluttony, three dishes of meat, one product of saving meat, two side dishes of silver snail box, etc.

When the emperor and the queen and the concubines had breakfast, Cuilian sent Su Yi, Qiu Ruo and others to rest, Su Yi was grateful, and the body was already tired after a night of sleep, so she only ate some porridge and went to sleep, and it was already unitary time when she woke up.

The sky is slightly dark, but the palace lights have already been put on everywhere in the palace, and there was a heavy snow the day before yesterday, but the sun is excellent in the past two days, and most of it has melted, and the golden tiles are red, but it looks solemn. On Chinese New Year's Eve, as usual, the palace was to "turn on the lights", Su Yi stood outside the curtain to see the night blue, scattered a few beads, the brilliant beads reflected a round of bright moon overhead, clear and bright, overflowing.

I could vaguely hear a commotion coming from the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and Su Yi knew that the family banquet had begun. Thinking of the lively and extraordinary scene of the Qianqing Palace, and then thinking of being alone, lonely late night, and the cold wind to the bone, I only felt that my eyes were sour, and my heart was astringent, and when I was about to turn around and go back to the house, I vaguely saw a figure, the person was wearing an orange robe, covered with a Dan-colored brocade jacket, and the pace was quite brisk, and before the person reached the side, the voice came from afar: "Suyi, why are you blowing the wind outside?" ”

With a happy voice and a slight smile, Su Yi asked, "Yunrou, aren't you waiting in front?" How did you come back again? ”

Yun Rou took Su Yi's arm and walked to the house, entered the room and sat by the brazier, Fang took out a vermilion gold-patterned purse from his sleeve, the purse was tied with a colorful silk rope, only to hear Yun Rou smile and say: "There are many people in front, I took the time to come back, you might as well go to the front with me when you wake up, right?" This is the reward of the concubine, and many nobles have come over today, and they have rewarded the slaves with a lot of New Year's money. ”

Su Yi shook her head, she had never liked to be lively, and the more crowded the place, the more uneasy it made her, "I won't go, since you came back quietly, go back quickly." It's not good if people see it. ”

"I see. What about Qiuruo? Yun Rou nodded, and when she saw that there was no Qiu Ruo in the room, she asked.

"If Qiu Ruo is not on duty today, when he has nothing to do, he will go to Brother Qin's place in the imperial dining room and keep the New Year with them." Su Yi said.

"Well, looking at this scene, the family banquet is estimated to take a while, I don't know when the Lord will return to the Heart Cultivation Palace, you should rest for a while, so as not to be sleepy at night."

Su Yi smiled and nodded, and Yun Rou went out of the house and ran towards the Qianqing Palace again.

After the family banquet, the palace played a promise play, the emperor followed a group of concubines, the queen mother watched the play, and did not return to the heart palace until after the end of the day, Su Yi got the order and went to the heart palace to serve.

The palace lamp in the palace of nourishing the heart is burned, and the door is made of glass octagonal moon lantern, and the picture screen is tattooed with the blessing of longevity and longevity, auspicious and wishful. In the bright room, there is a lampshade made of fine thin smoke silk yarn, and the milky white gauze shrouds the candle flame with a hazy halo.

Su Yi entered the Yangxin Hall, and saw that a group of palace people were serving Hongli to change into auspicious clothes, because the warm pavilion burned the ground kang and the stove, Hongli only wore a brocade robe with dark patterns and feather satin embossed by crows, his demeanor was light, his face was ruddy, and there was a grace between his eyebrows, perhaps because of Chinese New Year's Eve, his always indifferent face had a silky soft color, not like the majestic and domineering Nine-Five Zun on weekdays, but like a beautiful son. Su Yi put the Panlong white jade tea cup in his hand on the table, but found that a group of palace people had withdrawn from the cabinet, and his heart suddenly became nervous.

Hongli walked over gently, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but frowned slightly, "Why is it sweet?" ”

Su Yi heard the emperor's question in a trance, and immediately knelt down and replied: "If you go back to the long live lord, the slave has added honey to it." ”

Hongli sat down at the table and muttered, "Oh? ”

"Honey has the effect of relieving hangover, although the hangover medicine prepared by the imperial doctor is effective, but the medicine is poisonous, the slave thinks that honey has the same effect as it, so he takes the initiative to add honey for the long-lived lord."

Hongli hooked his lips and smiled, and when he saw Su Yi's weak and pitiful appearance, he reached out and pulled her up, and said, "I didn't say no, why did you kneel down again?" I'm scared of you like that? ”

Su Yi bit her lip, she was uneasy and didn't dare to look at the emperor, she was very close to the emperor, his body was thick with a thick smell of wine mixed with a faint ambergris and a masculine air unique to men, she felt that her cheeks were a little hot, and she heard the emperor's tone quite gentle, so she replied: "Long live the majesty of the Son of Heaven to impress the slaves." ”
