Chapter 211, Chinese New Year's Eve

After the birthday, the New Year is approaching day by day.

Yao Jiaxin was busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve night banquet, Chinese New Year's Eve which was divided into two parts, the former dynasty feasted the clan relatives and nobles in the Old Summer Palace Palace, and the harem feasted the harem concubines and clan ladies in the Queen Mother's tranquil banquet. That is, men and women are completely separated.

In the part of the previous dynasty, His Majesty the Fourth Master directly ordered the head of the Internal Affairs Office to be responsible - that is, His Majesty the Fourth Master's favorite younger brother Thirteenth Master Yunxiang. Therefore, Yao Jiaxin only needs to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the harem.

Although "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" is enough, the New Year's Festival banquet is the biggest festival of the year, and Yao Jiaxin has to keep an eye on it everywhere, not seeking perfection, but only seeking no mistakes.

I think she has traveled over for more than two years, and she can finally officially participate in a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. I remember the first Chinese New Year's Eve that she crossed over, she was still a sick and weak old nobleman, and she begged her concubine so that she did not have to participate, and the second Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was saved from Chinese New Year's Eve by the empress "Kai's grace" because of her pregnancy with Hongxu.

Therefore, Yao Jiaxin will officially receive a group of clan relatives and daughters at this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, including Fujin, Gege, married princesses, and princes and noble wives.

Because the Empress Dowager wanted to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet as the highest-ranking figure, Yao Jiaxin asked the Empress Dowager one by one on the list of Kunqu operas, seating arrangements, and the arrangement of dishes at the night banquet. One is to show respect to the Queen Mother, and the other is to ask the Queen Mother to take some responsibility together.

In this regard, the Queen Mother is very satisfied. Although the Queen Mother could not directly intervene in palace affairs, Concubine Xian's instructions made the Queen Mother find the feeling of being the master of the house.

In the midst of such busyness, Chinese New Year's Eve finally arrived. On the side of the harem banquet, in fact, not all of them are women, and there are two people with handles - the fifth elder brother Hongyang and her sixth elder brother Hongxu. After all, you can't arrange the two milk dolls to go to the banquet, right?

Therefore, these two milk dolls naturally became the focus of attention of everyone present, especially Yao Jiaxin's little Hongxu.

The blessings of each family kept praising how the sixth elder brother was well-behaved and sensible, how he looked like the emperor, and he would definitely be blessed in the future. The queen fell ill, Concubine Xian was in power, and the current situation is very clear, with such a big figure as Concubine Xian, no one wants to let go of this almost good opportunity.

Yao Jiaxin coped a little tired, but in short, this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was still very smooth.

Yao Jiaxin, who was so smiling that her face was about to cramp, really felt tired.

Suddenly, Su Yu reported in her ear: "Princess Huaike just said that she was breathing and drunk, but she actually secretly went to Quyuan Fenghe to visit Concubine Qi. ”

Yao Jiaxin took a sip of the wine cup, "It's okay." "For the Chinese New Year, it would be strange if Princess Huaike could really stay at this rich and luxurious banquet to enjoy Kunqu Opera and enjoy delicious wine and food. Huai Ke has not entered the palace for several months before and after giving birth, and he has not seen Qi Concubine for three or four months, Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of family reunion, how can Princess Huai Ke not accompany Qi Concubine?

"It's cold outside, ask the dining room to boil a bowl of ginger soup, and when Huai Ke comes back later, I will send it over." Yao Jiaxin commanded in a low voice. She didn't take the opportunity to express her concern, but told Huai Ke, I know where you went, but I pretended not to know.

Huai Ke was measured, so he soon returned to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet again, pretending to be sober, and gossiping at the few Fujin sitting beside him.

Soon Su Yu served a bowl of hot ginger soup and quietly retreated.

Huai Ke looked at the ginger soup, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled towards the seat where Concubine Xian was.

Yao Jiaxin also bowed his head.

Chinese New Year's Eve is already very late, and the stage is babbling and singing "Eternal Reunion", which is in line with the current celebration.

The queen mother sat on the top seat, and the harem concubines and clan relatives were seated on both sides, and the stars and moons were on the end. The Queen Mother was dressed in luxurious court clothes, smiled and called Huai Ke forward, and began to care about her great-granddaughter, the swaddling Gushan Gege.

Huai Ke was a little plump after giving birth, but his complexion was not bad, "Thank you for your care, when the child is older, my granddaughter will definitely bring you to kowtow and say goodbye." ”

"Good, good!" The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, looking like an ordinary old lady.

Chinese New Year's Eve, naturally to stay up all night, although Yao Jiaxin made up for sleep in advance, but after the child, after using the boiled dumplings, he was already sleepy and his eyelids were fighting. I really envy Xiao Hongxu and Xiao Hongday, when I am hungry, I eat the milk of the nurse, and when I am sleepy, I sleep crookedly in the arms of the nurse, and no one finds fault with it.

Being a baby is the happiest.

I had to hurriedly pour a strong tea and forcibly lift my spirits. Even the Queen Mother still insisted that she had never left early, what reason did she have to leave early?

Alas, it's so tiring.

Fortunately, in the second half of the night, basically no one came up to set up, because everyone was sleepy, and they were all holding on to the New Year. The babbling Kunqu opera sounds like a lullaby.

This Chinese New Year's Eve banquet did not leave the slightest good impression on Yao Jiaxin after all.

finally survived until the sky was slightly bright, and Yao Jiaxin had to send the Queen Mother back to the Tranquility Hall before she could return to Bitong Academy to catch up on sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yao Jiaxin basically spent her sleep and slept until the afternoon.

Unconsciously, it's been five years since Yongzheng.

Stretched, got up from the bed, lifted the curtain, and was about to summon someone to come in to serve the change of clothes and washing, but he was facing a pair of dark eyes.

It was His Majesty the Fourth Master, and His Majesty the Fourth Master seemed to have made up for his sleep, and he was looking at her messy head with a smile.

Yao Jiaxin smiled, "When did the emperor come?" ”

Yin Zhen smiled: "I'll come over at noon, Tian'er is sleeping!" ”

Yao Jiaxin immediately began to complain: "This Chinese New Year's Eve night is really too exciting!" The concubine almost fell asleep in a chair several times! ”

Yin Zhen couldn't help laughing, Tian'er is a snooze bug! It's really embarrassing for her to stay up all night to keep watch for the New Year. Yin Zhen scraped Tian'er's pouting little mouth, "It's only this time a year, and even the Queen Mother is staying up." ”

Yao Jiaxin lamented, "It's not easy for the Queen Mother. "At a young age, I have to stay up until dawn.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother's body is fine!" Yin Zhen pursed her lips, looking like she didn't hurt her mother at all, but said to Yao Jiaxin with a smile: "Tian'er is weak, I really worked hard for you last night." ”

Yao Jiaxin smiled, threw herself into the arms of His Majesty the Fourth Master, and rubbed it crookedly.

Yin Zhen smiled and said: "What kind of system, Hongxu is not as clingy as you!" Although the words are reprimands, they are full of spoiling.

Yao Jiaxin smiled, and then called someone to come in to serve and wash.

Only after this washing did I see that in the mirror, my head was like a chicken nest, and it was like a fried hair, but His Majesty the Fourth Master didn't dislike it at all just now.
