Lan Ying jumped in at this time and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness! Rice is ready! Shall we open the meal now?"

"Open the meal! You go and call someone with Zhuqing! Hurry up, hurry up! Let's have a good time!" As soon as Wen Nianqing heard that Lan Yingfan was ready, she suddenly came to her senses, and rushed up and pushed the two of them out.

"Oh...... Good. Zhu Qing reluctantly took the inkstone and went out, and she still wanted to sort out the messy private treasury more than eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

———— a short time passed

Mei Lan Zhu Ju and Xiao Xue of Zhaochun Palace have arrived, Lan Ying and Zhu Qing put all the things prepared, Wen Nianqing poured herself a glass of wine and stood up and said: "That, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, I, as the princess of Zhaochun Palace, will say a few words!"

"Your Highness, say it! Slaves and maidservants are listening! Several maidservants also learned from Wen Nianqing, poured themselves a glass of wine, stood up, and said to Wen Nianqing with a wine glass.

"Okay, okay, don't pay attention to so many rules today, there are no outsiders! Sit it down for me!" Wen Nianqing pressed the maids on the stool one by one, and then continued to speak with a wine glass.

"This year, our Zhaochun Palace has gained a lot, and Zhu Qing must be deeply touched. In terms of the private treasury, we want to get back the things that Wen Yunyao took, and by the way, we sorted out the bad debts, for this, I praise Zhuqing and Mei Yun! Great work! This is the year-end bonus, take it! I'll do it first!" Wen Nianqing raised her head and dried the wine glass in her hand. As he spoke, he smiled and took out two bulging sachets from his pocket and handed them to the two of them.

"Your Highness!" The two maidservants took the sachet with red faces.

Wen Nianqing nodded with satisfaction, "And Lan Ying, who has made a great contribution to the Huai'en Temple incident, really gives the palace a long face!" If it weren't for that incident, I still wouldn't have known that your little girl's martial arts were so good! Come! It's yours!" Wen Nianqing took another sachet and handed it to Lan Ying, who took it with a smile.

"Hmm...... Also, since you have accepted an apprentice, take it well, don't embarrass our Zhaochun Palace!" Wen Nianqing blinked meaningfully, and then patted Lan Ying's shoulder.

Lan Yingxiao's eyes narrowed together, "Your Highness, don't worry!" The slave will take Fang Liang well! Besides, in fact, Fang Liang is very talented and willing to endure hardships, and the slave still likes this apprentice quite a lot!"

"Yo~" Xiao Xue covered her mouth and snickered, she and Mei Yun rolled into a ball of grinning and joking Lan Ying.

Lan Ying's face turned red and went to hit the two of them, "What are you laughing at!" I didn't say anything!"

"You didn't say anything, what are you blushing about! Yes? Master Lan Ying~" Xiao Xue smiled and went to hide from Lan Ying's hand, and continued to joke as dead.

"Ahem, it's okay! Master Lan Ying's good teaching is obvious to you and me, you two don't make fun of others! I don't know if people are thin-skinned! All right! Go back and sit down! I have a headache in this circle!" Wen Nianqing watched a few people chasing me around her, and one person who was not angry knocked on his head with a chestnut, and drove a few people back to sit down.

Several handmaidens were taught a lesson by Wen Nianqing, and they suddenly became honest, and sat down obediently next to each other.

"Next is Ju Xi's! This year, many of the open guns and arrows in Yaohua Palace are aimed at the kitchen, and you have worked hard! Although it is usually quiet, your contribution is definitely not small! It's yours, take it!" Wen Nianqing saw that Ju Xi had been sitting aside without speaking, and praised Ju Xi emphatically.

Sure enough, Ju Xi raised a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
