When I woke up in the morning, the palace city was already whitewashed and jade, and it was full of color.

Because the seal was sealed in the next year, Yuan Hong only got up at the beginning of the morning, but found that He was no longer by his side.

The Three Treasures led the servants into the room to serve and wash, and Yuan Hong asked, "Where is Zhaoyi?" ”

Sanbao pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Zhaoyi is in the palace, playing in the snow with Jixiang." ”

Yuan Hong was happy in his heart, so he walked to the window, and when he pushed the window, he could see that the two of them were chasing me not far away, throwing snow and playing.

Yuan Hong suddenly became childlike and said to Sanbao: "Faster than me to change clothes, I will also go to play with them." ”

Yuan Hong only let Sanbao accompany him, and quietly walked not far from the two, so that he could pick up a handful of snow on the ground, knead it to a small ball, and gently throw it at Yuhe.

When He turned around and saw that it was Hong and Sanbao, he threw a snowball back at the two of them.

The four of you chased me, had a lot of fun, and waited until the waiter came to report, the time for the eldest princesses to return to the palace was approaching, and the four of them returned to the palace with unfinished intentions.

The second day of the lunar month is the day when the folk women return to their mother's house, and even the emperor's house is no exception.

This year, because he was in the palace in Yecheng, Yuan Hong made those elderly princesses of the clan stay in Pingcheng, and only the eldest princesses who were married to women entered the palace with their horses to celebrate the New Year.

The palace banquet will be divided into two places for male guests and female dependents. The emperor and all the horses and horses had a banquet in the Xuande Palace, and the queen set up the banquet of the eldest princess in the Chengming Palace.

In the Chengming Palace, the Changhe Palace lamp stands at the four corners of the main seat, and the palace incense is lit in the white jade smoker, and the green smoke is swirling. On each long table is a vase of white jade with red plums, and all utensils are made of white jade.

The harem women and concubines of the upper rank are all the same to the Chengming Palace.

After everyone saluted the Empress Feng, they sat on both sides of the Feng family.

On the left are Changshan princess Yuan Jin, Lelang princess Yuan Zheng, Pengcheng princess Yuan Yu, Le'an princess Yuan Rong and unmarried Gaoping princess Yuan Rong, and on the right side are He, Gui Concubine Mrs. Li, Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Yuan, and the rest of the concubines and women are all sitting behind everyone.

Feng raised his glass to everyone: "Ruixue harvest year, it is an auspicious omen, coinciding with the princesses returning to the palace, I will toast this wine on behalf of Your Majesty, I wish the princesses a happy New Year, and everything goes well." ”

Everyone said in unison: "May Your Majesty's Holy Communion be eternal peace, and may the Queen be happy forever!" Then they all drank the wine from their cups.

Princess Changshan put down the ear cup in her hand and said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Feng returned to the palace after recovering from illness, why didn't I see her?" ”

Feng squinted at He and said lightly: "Yesterday, Your Majesty has announced that Mrs. Jin Feng is Zhaoyi. Now the princess is facing Feng Zhaoyi. ”

Princess Yuanyu of Pengcheng took over and said: "But I haven't seen it for seven years, and the changes in Zhaoyi are really amazing. ”

Everyone was already suspicious of He's true identity, but when they heard Yuan Yu say this, they all whispered in their hearts, and they all set their eyes on He.

"People's faces are easy to change, and the sixth sister is becoming more and more moving now, I'm afraid Zhaoyi won't recognize you." I don't know when, the holy car has arrived.

Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, and Yuan Hong motioned for everyone to get up, and then walked to the main seat.

After Yuan Hong sat down, Yuan Yujiao smiled and said: "Whenever the imperial brother sees me, he always makes fun of me." ”

Yuan Hong and Yuan Yu are originally compatriots of the same mother, and their feelings are different from others, and Yuan Hong is also very fond of them on weekdays.

Yuan Yu picked up the ear cup, walked in front of Yuan Hong, and said: "The imperial brother has registered Zhaoyi, but he has not told us, I will punish the imperial brother with a cup." ”

Yuan Hong laughed and said, "In this way, I will drink this cup to the full!" With that, he took the glass and drank it all.

Yuan Yu bowed to Yuan Hong, walked to He again, looked at He, and said: "My Xianbei woman drank wine, it could have been served in a sea bowl, and since you have been the Zhaoyi of my Great Wei, you should drink this cup full. ”

Yuan Hong once mentioned this sister to He, He knew that Yuan Yu had a big heart and a golden knife, and when he saw her behaving like this at this moment, he smiled and said: "Although the concubine is not strong enough to drink, she can't take away the princess's good intentions." So he raised his glass and drank it.

Yuan Yu looked at He intently, and said: "I haven't seen you all these years, Zhaoyi has become more and more bright and moving, like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, no wonder the imperial brother wants to take you back to the palace." ”

He was a little shy, his face was slightly hot, and he said: "The princess is beautiful, how can we do it." ”

Yuan Yu has never been bound by the palace rules, heroic and free, as bold as a man, listening to He's words, she laughed, and she had a little love for He in her heart.

Everyone in the harem knew that the emperor favored Yuan Yu, and at this moment, seeing her and He Po showing their relationship, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be sour.

Feng was angry in his heart, but because the saint was on his side, he had to suppress his heart and said: "The princess returned to the palace today to celebrate the New Year of His Majesty, how can she drink with Zhaoyi alone." ”

Yuan Yu didn't answer, only reached out to take the pot in the hand of the maid, filled his cup, and said to Feng: "I respect the queen, may the queen live forever and enjoy happiness forever." ”

Feng knew that although Yuan Yu was perfunctory, he had to respect himself as a queen, and he couldn't help but lose most of his anger, so he raised his wine glass and drank it all.

After Feng's drink, Princess Yuan Zheng of Lelang got up and said: "The snowfall on the first day is a good omen, God bless me Dawei, the new year is better than the old year!" ”

After speaking, Yuan Zheng glanced at the noble concubine's wife Li with a smile on the corner of his mouth, picked up a glass of wine, and walked to the hall.

Yuan Zheng said: "The outside of the hall is covered with snow, and the hall is lined with red plums, which is really suitable for the scene." In this palace, a bowl and a basket, a flower and a tree, you can see that they are all carefully furnished, which is the incense smoked in this palace, and it is also the favorite cinnamon incense of our sisters before leaving the palace. ”

Between the words, while raising the wine glass, he said: "I drank this cup of wine, and I thank the emperor for his love on behalf of the sisters." ”

Listening to Yuan Zheng's words, Yuan Hongfang noticed the furnishings in the hall, and couldn't help nodding again and again, praising it: "Sure enough, there is a person with a heart." Then he asked Feng Shi again: "But what does the queen mean?" ”

Feng's heart tightened, and he said vaguely: "In the line, the concubines are carefully decorated by the Zhongshang Administration, so that Your Majesty and the princesses are pleasing to the eye." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw your lady Li get up and said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, the queen, the concubines got up in the morning and the palace maids picked red plums, and when they saw the snow flying, they remembered that the princesses also loved red plums, so they sent some to the palace." ”

glanced up at Feng, and continued: "The concubine thought about the red flower lining the white jade, so the attendants replaced the vase and bowl together. Today was a banquet for the princesses to return to the palace, and the concubines made their own decisions and ignited the rhino cinnamon incense that the princesses loved. The concubine did not return to the queen in time, which was the fault of the concubine. ”

Feng was about to speak, when he heard Yuan Hong nod and said, "Madame is as careful as a hair, and she studies and thinks carefully, what's wrong?" ”

Hearing the emperor's praise, Li was secretly happy in his heart, but said quietly: "Everything in the harem requires the queen's hard work, and the concubine is incompetent, and she only helps in some trivial things." ”

The corners of Feng's mouth seemed to smile and said: "Although the affairs of the harem are complicated, the concubines have taken care of them in an orderly manner over the years. Mrs. Li should take care of Concubine Zheng with peace of mind now, and you won't have to worry about the rest of the trivial matters. ”

Yuan Hong glanced at the Li family, and felt in his heart that he was quite knowledgeable, but the Feng family showed his narrow-mindedness even more, so he said: "After the valley rain, everyone in the palace is about to leave for Luoyang, and Mrs. Luo, Zheng Concubine, and Gao Concubine are all about to give birth, and the queen must be overwhelmed." ”

Turning his head and glancing at He again, he continued: "Not long after Zhaoyi returned to the palace, the personnel in the palace are not familiar with each other. In this way, Mrs. Li can temporarily assist the queen and assist the inner palace. ”

Feng Shi was full of anger at this moment, and his face was like earth.

Li glanced at Feng and said with a smile: "Concubine Xie Your Majesty's trust, you will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”
