After entering the wax moon, Liu Yan found that everyone was inseparable from the New Year.

Happy New Year, the New Year will be rewarded this month, and the whole palace can receive an extra set of winter clothes and a reward. Of course, this money varies according to different statuses, and the masters of each palace will also give additional rewards. For example, Anhe Palace, it is customary to issue an extra month of monthly cases.

Even if it's not for the reward, the New Year is also a thing that makes everyone happy, and during the New Year, you can eat things that you can't usually eat, such as dumplings, so that the eunuchs of the East and West Palace usually can't eat it. There are also sugar cakes and meatloaf that the master will reward for the New Year, and the palace maids can make an exception with fat powder, wear velvet flowers, and wear earrings.

Although it is not yet the end of the year, someone has quietly replaced the head rope with a new one, and the earrings have been put on. The Shang Gong and the great eunuchs in charge saw it, but they didn't see it, and they didn't mean to drink and reprimand.

There are only a few days of the year that can be relaxed, and besides, the masters are still very tolerant at this time, so why should they be caught in the middle and be wicked.

The great eunuch of Yilan Palace, Min Hongmin's father-in-law, also changed into a new outfit, usually Shi Qing's robe was replaced by jujube red satin, the boots were also replaced with a new pair, and the crown on his head was also replaced with a new one.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "If only I was so happy every day." ”

Li Shanggong said: "How can every day be like the New Year, you should be content if you can have so many days in a year." ”

If you live like this every day, then you don't feel happy, people, always greedy and insufficient.

Li Shanggong tied the strap on Liu Yan's cloak, handed her the hand stove, and instructed Guiyuan: "You must be careful to serve, don't let the princess blow the wind, and don't take off your clothes easily if you feel hot." ”

Longan should be down one by one.

Liu Yan got into the car, and Gui Yuan hurriedly put the foot stove for her.

"It's not snowing yet, it's not that cold."

Gui Yuan thought about it, and covered it too warmly in the car, but when he got off the car, he felt even colder, so he put the foot stove in the corner of the carriage.

Liu Yan's fingertips traced the lines of the lotus flower on the handh round and round, and asked softly: "What happened to the walnuts in the past two days?" Sick? ”

Because it is almost the end of the year, the palace people dare not say it even if they are sick, so they often just get some ginger and brown sugar to boil water to drink, and carry it hard.

"Not really." Gui Yuan thought of this and felt a little uncomfortable for Walnut: "Her mother passed away, and the family trustee brought her a letter, she didn't sleep well these days, and the water chestnut in her room heard her crying and calling her mother in her dream." ”

"That's right...... I didn't even know it. ”

"How dare she tell the princess such a thing."

Thinking about it, it's no wonder that Walnut is so sad, since she was a child, she left home, and it was difficult to communicate with her family after entering the palace. When her mother died, she couldn't see her for the last time, let alone send her to the end and worship.

"You remember it for me, when you go back to the reward, give more walnuts, you can handle this matter, and you don't have to let others know."

Gui Yuan hurriedly said: "The slave and maid thank the princess for the reward for the walnuts." ”

What kind of reward is this? A little money can neither make up for her shortcomings, nor comfort her mother's pain.

Even if it is a reward, you can't give more, and giving more will be a disaster.

Liu Yan remembered that when she had just moved into the palace, she often stayed in Yilan Palace. At that time, she heard her father and mother often talk together, but she couldn't understand most of them, and she couldn't remember them.

But there was one thing she remembered.

The father and the queen mother talked about the selection of palace maids, because there was a war in the palace, it is said that there were more than 10,000 women in the palace at the end of the previous dynasty, but when the emperor ascended the throne, there was simply no one in ten, so some people asked the palace to recruit more palace people, enrich the harem, and sprinkle the service.

At that time, my father said that there were not many people in their family, and there was no need for so many people to serve, and now the treasury was empty, and there was not so much money to squander. Besides, the good girls of the family are brought into the palace, which leads to the separation of flesh and blood, and also hurts the peace of the sky.

She remembered those words, but only now did she understand what her father meant.

Although there are many people in the palace, like Guiyuan, they have no relatives at home, but they have found a way to live when they enter the palace. But there are also some people, such as Walnut, although their home is near the capital, they have never seen anyone since they entered the palace, and it is already rare to be able to ask someone to carry a message once or twice a year. When her mother died, she couldn't cry or wear filial piety......

This is what my father called the separation of flesh and blood.

Underneath the fluttering sentence, there are many people's tears.

Gui Yuan saw that the princess was sitting there for a while without speaking, and hurriedly tried to find a way to divert the topic.

"Princess, the congratulatory gift list is here, do you want to take another look at it?"

"No need, I'm very relieved that you can do something."

Today is Cao Zhongyan's daughter holding a full moon wine, when he had the eldest son, he didn't see this cousin so happy, but gave birth to a daughter, look at him happy, see people praise "white fat, sturdy, you can hear her crying outside the second door", my aunt is also very happy - there are many boys at home, but the daughter is really happy.

Liu Yan also prepared a generous gift, if the etiquette was thin, she was afraid that Cousin Cao would make her stingy in front of her.

Now the world is big, his daughter is the biggest, and everyone else is on the sidelines.

"And this one of the five princesses."

Liu Yu didn't come, as soon as it was cold, she rarely went out of the house, and I heard that she kept coughing at night, and she couldn't even sleep a whole night.

She was afraid that she would be sick to others, and people would do a good job of full moon wine, but she would add to the blockage when she went sick, and she was also afraid that she would be sick again when she went out of the palace, so she entrusted Liu Yan with this gift.

Although Cao Zhongyan was so happy that he forgot his form, but the uncle and aunt of the Cao family were not confused, although they were happy, there was no big deal in today's full moon, only relatives and friends could come, everyone was not restrained by each other, and it was lively.

When Liu Yan got out of the car, her aunt and her two daughters-in-law greeted her at the door, she wanted to salute Liu Yan hurriedly stopped, Liu Yan wanted to ask her aunt An Cao's aunt also waved her hand again and again and said that she was exempt, smiled and took her hand to look up and down, nodded and said: "I seem to be taller again, and I look good." He asked her if it was cold on the road and if she had anything to eat today, so she hurried to the kitchen to prepare.

Liu Yan was not restrained at all when he arrived at his uncle's house, and immediately said: "The jelly and elbow I made last time are very delicious." ”

Aunt Cao said, "Prepare it, the jelly has been warm, but you can't eat cold." ”

Liu Yan asked again: "Where is the little doll?" Can I see it? ”

"Yes, why not," the eldest cousin said with a smile, "I should let the princess hug her, I heard that if you spend a lot of time with beautiful people, the little baby can look better." ”
