Chinese New Year's Eve.

Prince's Mansion.

"Aze," Fu Yuanyuan helped Qin Ze get dressed, "Enter the palace in a while, do you want to bring Brother Kang and Sister Ning?" ”

The two little dolls are almost three months old, and because they are premature children, they look smaller than ordinary three-month-old dolls.

But the two babies are growing up very well under careful and thoughtful care, Kang Ge'er looks at Wen Wen quietly, his little eyes are always looking around curiously, and his favorite thing is to look at Sister Ning.

Sister Ning is much more noisy than Kang Ge'er, in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, she often punches and kicks, and from time to time she pushes Kang Ge'er who is lying next to her, but Kang Ge'er is not annoyed, and sometimes giggles.

The healthy growth of the two children is the happiest thing for Qin Ze and his wife.

Regarding whether to bring the baby into the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, the couple hesitated for a long time and couldn't decide.

Just looking at the physical condition of the two babies, entering the palace should not be in the way.

It happened to be Chinese New Year's Eve today, and it was said that it should also be brought into the palace to show Emperor Qingyuan and the empress.

After all, since he was born, Emperor Qingyuan has not seen the two little emperors and grandchildren.

It's just that Fu Yuanyuan is also worried: "It's freezing at night, I'm worried that the baby will not be comfortable staying outside for so long when he goes out for the first time." ”

Qin Ze understood his daughter-in-law's worries.

They obeyed the instructions of the divine doctor, and the two babies have never left the house since they were born, and they were suddenly sent to the palace, which is indeed a great challenge for the children.

"Or don't bring it into the palace at night," Qin Ze thought for a while, "Wait for tomorrow in the daytime, let's bring it into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to my father and queen mother." ”

The husband and wife discussed it properly, and they entered the palace together.

"It's still early to leave the palace banquet," Fu Yuanyuan said to Qin Ze, "I'll go to the queen mother's side to say goodbye first." ”

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, all the concubines had gathered around the queen, everyone was dressed up delicately and festively, saying nice words in their mouths, and the jubilant atmosphere of the New Year was full.

"Queen Mother," when Fu Yuanyuan entered the palace, he happened to hear a concubine with a face ask, "Are we going to Cining Palace?" ”

As soon as she said this, the entire hall gradually fell silent.

Everyone turned their eyes to the queen.

According to the past custom, after the concubines greeted the queen in Kunning Palace, they were led by the queen to Cining Palace to greet the queen mother.

Then the large procession went to the main hall of the palace banquet.

It's just that the queen mother is still in confinement today, the queen didn't say anything to go to Cining Palace, and even the concubines didn't say a word, this little concubine dared to ask.

For a while, the concubines near the concubine unconsciously vacated their places in the distance.

No one wants to have anything to do with this stunned young man.

The empress glanced at the concubine slowly, picked up the tea on the side and drank it slowly, before her red lips opened slightly: "According to the emperor's will, later the sisters will go directly to the Qiwen Hall with the main palace to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet." ”

"Oops," Concubine Shu glanced at the concubine sideways, and looked in the direction of Fu Yuanyuan with a smile, "Today, the crown princess and the princess of Chu are here, our royal family is full of happy events, and the daughters-in-law have good news one after another, and they are really gratifying to congratulate the royal family." ”

Concubine De smiled and answered: "Isn't it?" Yuemei is happy in the house these days, and I heard that I like to eat sour plums the most. ”

"The folk say that sour children are hot and spicy, Princess Lu's baby must be a son!" There are concubines complimenting.

Concubine De smiled heartily, and for a while, the hall was full of soft and warm voices.

The Imperial Study.

Emperor Qingyuan was still looking at the folds stacked on the dragon case.

Father-in-law Liang would come in every once in a while to add tea and pour water, and by the way, report the list of people who arrived in the front hall.

There were many dignitaries and nobles who entered the palace for the banquet, but Emperor Qingyuan did not need to go too early.

When the people arrived almost there, when he was not far from the time of the banquet, he was driving the Qiwen Palace.

There is still a lot of time to approve the unfinished notes.

He is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.

Emperor Qingyuan took a sip of tea: "The crown prince and the crown princess have arrived?" ”

Gonggong Liang said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the crown prince and the crown princess have already entered the palace." ”

"Did the two little emperors and grandsons bring them?"

For Brother Kang and Brother Ning, Emperor Qingyuan was worried about meeting him.

Gonggong Liang hesitated for a moment: "I have never seen the crown prince and the crown princess bring the two little royal highnesses into the palace." ”

Emperor Qingyuan let out a light "um", put the fold in his hand aside, and raised his eyes: "These two couples really treat the two babies as if they were eyeballs, I remember that they should be almost three months old?" ”

"Back to the emperor," Gonggong Liang quickly calculated in his heart, "the two little emperors, His Royal Highnesses, will be three months old in two days." ”

Emperor Qingyuan nodded: "It will be the same in two days." ”

The imperial study entered silence again, and Emperor Qingyuan continued to watch his play.

Liang Gonggong stepped back.

Not long after, he hurriedly returned: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Qingyuan was intently watching a twist and turn, and did not pay attention to it.

Gonggong Liang was a little anxious, and called again: "Your Majesty, the slave has something to do." ”

"Say it."

Emperor Qingyuan didn't raise his eyes, "What's the matter?" ”

"There is news from Cining Palace," Liang Gonggong said busily, "It is said that the Queen Mother is slightly ill." ”

"Slightly ill?" Emperor Qingyuan put down the fold in his hand, "Yesterday, the imperial doctor went to diagnose the pulse of peace, didn't it mean that the queen mother was in good health?" ”

"The Queen Mother said that she had a headache after waking up early and wanted to see the emperor."

"See me?"

Emperor Qingyuan's dragon eyes were deep.

Why did the Queen Mother ask to see him at this moment?

"The queen mother also said that if she couldn't see the emperor, she wouldn't have participated in today's palace banquet." Liang Gonggong whispered.

Emperor Qingyuan stood up and said angrily: "She is trying to blackmail me!" ”

Cining Palace.

Mama Ti passed on the words of the Queen Mother, waited outside the hall for a while, and entered the inner hall with her eyebrows twisted.

"Niangniang, did you say that the emperor would come over?"

The Queen Mother was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, and the two grandmothers were tidying up her makeup, and she glanced at Mama Ti faintly through the bronze mirror: "The emperor is a pure and filial son, how could he not come to ask for warmth when the mourning family has a headache?" ”

"Besides, there is a banquet for hundreds of officials in the palace today, but there are countless eyes staring, and it is even more impossible for the emperor not to come."

After speaking, she withdrew from the grandmother beside her: "It's okay, you all go down, without the orders of the mourning family, all the subordinates are not allowed to enter the temple." ”

The two grandmothers respectfully stepped back.

The Queen Mother quietly looked at the already aged face in the bronze mirror.

She just let the emperor sit in a position that did not belong to him until she was old, but she didn't achieve anything.

I think she was in her prime back then, and she dared to shoot at the first emperor resolutely, but now that she is old, she is cowardly!

If it weren't for her timidity, maybe Brother Ning would have left that dark place long ago.

Today, she must taste a long-cherished wish for many years.

"Ati, everything is ready according to the instructions of the mourning family, right?"
