"She Zhao Zhen'er is a grasshopper after the autumn, and she won't be able to jump for long." Empress Dowager Zhao saw that Queen Wang was worried, so she had to cheer up and persuade with great gravity, "When she loses power, isn't everything left to you, the lady of the main palace?" ”

The queen nodded obediently.

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded with satisfaction.

If you want to say that this queen is not good, it is not good, but it is better to be obedient enough, never disobey her orders, for the sake of this, for the sake of others, she will also protect the queen from the "queen" to the "queen mother".

"Okay, instead of gritting your teeth and being annoyed here, it's better to go back and rest early, nourish your spirits, and enter the palace tomorrow to congratulate the New Year's wife!" Empress Dowager Zhao sighed and waved her hand to rush away.

According to the rules, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, all women with rank must enter the palace to see them. All year round, the queen will be able to enjoy the honor of being a queen on this day.

No matter how favored Zhao Guifei is, she can't take away this power from her.

When the queen heard this, she obediently bent her knees and left Ci'an Palace sullenly.

As soon as she left the palace gate, the melancholy, helpless, supple and pitiful on the queen's face suddenly faded, and was replaced by a cold face, or rather a sad and numb face.

"Let's go." Queen Wang boarded the phoenix chariot and commanded in a low voice.

In this harem, in addition to pretending to be pitiful to win the sympathy and help of the Empress Dowager Zhao, who is "sympathetic", she is a woman who has fallen out of favor, no, it should be said that she has never received holy favor, even if she is the queen, life will be quite difficult.

"Yes." The palace man who was close to him replied in a low voice, with a respectful submission on his face, and immediately ordered the attendant who carried the sedan chair to go faster.

Listening to the whimpering night breeze along the way, and looking at the new bright palace lights hanging everywhere to celebrate the New Year, the queen only felt like a dream.

It's another year and the New Year is coming, year after year, how many beautiful years have been buried in this deep palace......

I don't know, Emperor Yuan Jia can't see next year's New Year......

In the Hehuan Palace, Emperor Yuan Jia, who had slept for most of the day, was awakened by the sound of firecrackers in the middle of the night, and in the faint and misty candlelight reflected through the curtain, he subconsciously shouted a few times Zhao Guifei.

Zhao Guifei, who was in the hall and instructed the palace people how to carefully say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, not to wake up Emperor Yuanjia, heard the words and hurriedly threw it away, "It doesn't matter if anything else, go first to see what the Holy Lord has to say after waking up", and quickly went to the inner room.

The palace people had to be busy, waiting for Emperor Yuan Jia to wash and change clothes.

Zhao Guifei watched and pointed from the side.

After a busy time, Zhao Guifei personally supported Emperor Yuan Jia, and asked with a smile: "Is the saint going to light candles in the temple and pray to God this year, or will he go to the courtyard to set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year?" ”

Emperor Yuan Jia smiled without thinking about it and asked, "How do you like it?" ”

This may be the last New Year he has spent with Zhao Guifei, so he naturally doesn't want her to have any regrets.

Considering that Emperor Yuan Jiadi's body was not suitable for running into the courtyard to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night, Zhao Guifei pouted and complained: "I have been tired all the way, and the concubines are tired, so I really don't want to go to the courtyard to blow the cold wind again, so it is better to burn incense and pray in this hall." ”

"It's all up to you!" Emperor Yuan Jia took Zhao Guifei's hand without thinking about it, patted it lightly and said with a smile.

He doesn't have many days left now, and he doesn't care about any rules and regulations for a long time, as long as the remaining days are happy and satisfied, and he doesn't have any regrets.

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" Zhao Guifei seemed to be happy, and hurriedly ordered to go down, and her own palace people held incense and lit a fire for her and Emperor Yuan Jia to burn incense and pray.

Emperor Yuanjia poured incense, and the same prayers finally changed slightly this year: "The four o'clock is changing, and it is a new beginning, I wish here to pray for the peace and health of the country and the people, the second is to wish the concubine peace and joy, and the third is to wish the emperor a smooth succession." The emperor and the queen of the earth, the gods in the sky, you have fulfilled your wish. ”

After that, he bowed three times with incense, and then solemnly stepped forward, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and put his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed sincerely.

Zhao Guifei on the side listened to Emperor Yuanjia's blessings, and her tears were almost uncontrollable.

In the past, Emperor Yuan Jia would pray affectionately and sincerely, "May God bless me and the concubine from life to life", but now, all that is left is to let her be safe and happy.

Emperor Yuan Jia has already begun to explain what happened after his death......

Seeing that Emperor Yuan Jia's prayers were finished and he opened his eyes, Zhao Guifei quickly put away the sadness and pain in her heart, showed a gentle smile, and stretched out her hand to help Emperor Yuan Jia sit down and rest on the soft couch.

"Where is the emperor now?" Emperor Yuan Jia asked.

Seeing that the saint was sleeping soundly, the concubine couldn't bear to disturb her, so she asked His Royal Highness, Lord Han and his wife to go to the side hall to settle first. Please also ask the Holy Majesty not to blame the concubines for making their own opinions. Zhao Guifei smiled softly and said in a coquettish tone.

When Emperor Yuan Jia heard this, instead of blaming Zhao Guifei for keeping his courtiers privately, he held her hand and smiled gently: "Concubine Ai is thoughtful for me, it's too late for me to thank you, so why blame?" ”

"Thank you." Zhao Guifei smiled and thanked her, and took advantage of the situation to lean on Emperor Yuanjia's arms to hide the tears she couldn't help falling.

In the future, when Emperor Yuanjia goes, no one will protect her so unreasonably......

In the side hall, the red candle is burning, and the room is warm.

Shu Yu looked at Xiao Wangzhi, whose eyes were bright and he couldn't sleep excitedly, helplessly raised his hand and touched his head, and urged again: "It's not too early, tomorrow the ministers will enter the palace to ask An to bow, and the saint will definitely take this opportunity to make your identity public, and announce you as the prince in public."

"If you don't hurry up to sleep and recuperate, be careful that you don't wake up tomorrow morning, or wilt and yawn in front of the ministers, you will be accused and questioned."

"Don't!" Since he understood his life experience, Xiao Wangzhi was so coquettish for the first time, refusing to listen to Shu Yu's words, blinking pitifully and pouting, "After waking up, my aunt can only be my aunt......"

As he spoke, his eyes became wet.

Han Yan, who had originally planned to harshly discipline Xiao Wangzhi, looked stunned when he saw this, and turned his head helplessly and sighed.

Anyway, they promised him that this was the last time, so let him be presumptuous this time.

Shu Yu saw that Han Yan turned his head and stopped looking at this side, so he knew that Han Yan was reluctant to refuse Xiao Wangzhi, so he had to let him go, and laughed softly: "It's okay if you don't want to sleep, but it's not okay to sit like this all the time."

"You're not tired, I'm still tired. Let's fall asleep and talk. ”

Xiao Wangzhi's struggle was victorious, but he also knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and when he heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and the poor baba raised his head and begged: "Then let's sleep together, uncle, aunt, and me!" ”

Hearing this, Shu Yu looked helplessly at Han Yan who was sitting at the table next to him.

Han Yan shook his head helplessly, got up and sighed lightly, "The last time? ”

"One last time!" Xiao Wangyi saw that there was a door, and quickly patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay. Turn off the lights and go to sleep! Han Yan said, blew out the lights, hugged his wife and children to bed, and fell asleep.

The cold wind outside the window was blowing, and the inside of the tent was as warm as spring.
