Even if the world is troubled and unsatisfactory, the year has finally come.

Since the thirtieth anniversary of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the common people have put down their burdens of life and smiled.

You fight to the death on weekdays, and the New Year also pays attention to harmony and peace.

The same is true in the palace.

There are not many members of the royal family, so every Chinese New Year, Emperor Jianyuan gathers all the children and grandchildren of the Mo family together, just for a reunion.

It's just that today's meal really doesn't have much taste.

King Ning's whereabouts became a mystery, and Emperor Jianyuan directly waived a lot of red tape, and took his family to Taimiao to worship his ancestors, which was really a light meal together.

Lin Yan bluntly refused to participate in the palace banquet, and after worshipping the ancestors, she turned her head and returned to King Ning's mansion, and no one said anything to stop her.

Emperor Jianyuan also had to pretend to be a loving father, and Queen Zhou forced a smile, as if she didn't know that Zhou Min was in prison for the New Year

The family, each with a ghost, complimented each other, but in the middle of the night, the feast dispersed.

The dishes that were withdrawn were distributed by Emperor Jianyuan to several ministers of the court and central government as a sign of favor.

After appreciating it, he finally pointed to a golden gourd pork rib cup and said to Queen Zhou: "This taste is good, reward it to Huaiyang Hou." ”

Queen Zhou endured the nausea and got up to thank her: "Long live Xie's favor." ”

Emperor Jianyuan saw that she was bruised under her eyes, and sighed: "Recently, you have also worked hard, take a good rest after the New Year, and some trivial matters in the palace can be shared between Concubine Yan and Concubine Ji." ”

Empress Zhou's hands were copied into the warm sleeves, her fingernails were about to pinch the palms of her blood, and her face was still very grateful: "Long live Xie is compassionate, you must get through the big pilgrimage tomorrow." ”

Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, officials above the fourth rank in Beijing have to enter the palace to congratulate, and the same is true for foreign officials in Beijing.

The official's female dependents entered the palace from Fengtianmen and went directly to Queen Zhou of Fenghua Palace to congratulate.

In the past, Queen Zhou was exempted from this item, but I didn't expect that this year she had to complete the ceremony according to the ancestral system and rules.

Emperor Jianyuan didn't want to anger her over these trivial things, so he asked casually: "What's the matter with that palace maid in your palace?" ”

Empress Zhou mentioned it in her heart and said slowly: "What palace maid?" ”

In the middle of the night last night, Han Guangpin reported that the Shen Criminal Division had killed a palace maid who made a mistake, and it seemed to be from Fenghua Palace.

Emperor Jianyuan just asked in passing, but when he saw that Empress Zhou didn't seem to remember, he didn't ask anymore.

Queen Zhou was scared into a cold sweat, and she only said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back early.

Concubine Yan smiled "poof": "Is my sister not feeling well, or is she dying during the New Year, and she is uncomfortable?" ”

There is her shadow everywhere.

Queen Zhou gritted her teeth, frowned and asked, "Sister Yan has this kung fu to sow discord and be jealous, so it is better to take care of King Wei's inner house." ”

Concubine Yan was bored, tearing the handkerchief and hurried angrily, and in a blink of an eye she saw a fourth prince with his head stuffed and didn't speak.

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness......"

"Enough!" Queen Zhou scolded angrily: "A good palace banquet, look at you everywhere, go back to the palace to think about the past, don't come out and be embarrassed!" ”

Concubine Yan's face turned pale, and she instantly turned red again, and looked at Emperor Jianyuan aggrievedly.

Emperor Jianyuan looked away and waved his hand: "It's all gone, An Guiren, take a walk with me." ”

Really, none of them stopped.

is a lot older, and she is jealous like a little girl, which is really boring.

Concubine Yan's face was deformed, and she made a fuss in front of several children.

Sun Lele also wanted to go up to support Concubine Yan and comfort her, but before she got close, she was directly slapped by Concubine Yan: "I don't have any ability at all, I occupy the position of a concubine in vain!" ”

Sun Lele immediately covered his cheeks and held back his tears.

Zhang Qian squeezed it aside and proudly helped Concubine Yan out of the palace gate.

Song Shuying held Concubine Ji's arm, looking at today's farce, her eyelids couldn't help jumping.

Lin Yan asked her to find the Song family's manpower, burned down the granary of Mao Wenzhi's house, and beat Mao Wenzhi again.

Later, in the teahouse, some self-righteous scholars were instigated.

Those scholars seemed to have fallen into a Gu and walked according to the results designed by Lin Yan; The disposal in the palace also seems to be within Lin Yan's calculations.

Whoever tells her that Lin Yan is rude and reckless in the future, Song Shuying will not believe it.

At dawn on the first day of the new year, all the officials were lined up outside the noon gate in court clothes.

When the two drums sounded, the hundred officials entered from the left and right doors, came to the square in front of the Fengtian Palace, and stood solemnly facing the main hall.

The ladies also entered the Fenghua Palace one after another, standing outside the palace to congratulate Queen Zhou.

Lin Yan stood in the front row with her head headed, dressed in the court clothes of the princess, and saluted with all the ladies with a glance.

It was freezing cold, there was still a little snow on their heads, and the noses of all the women were red, and they were cold with one mouth.

It is said that after the morning greeting, he said two auspicious words and dispersed.

After all, among the high-grade female dependents, there are not a few who are elderly.

Queen Zhou was unusual, and sent some low-grade ones back, leaving a group of second-grade and above women in the main hall, with hot tea and hot water.

The Chu family was also among them, looking at Lin Yan sitting expressionlessly under Queen Zhou, unable to drink a sip of hot tea in distress.

But it hinders everyone's eyes and ears, and it is not easy to go up and talk.

Lin Yan still vaguely felt it, raised her head slightly and nodded her chin.

looked at Lin Yan's ruddy complexion, without a trace of haggardness; Contacting Zong Yunfan and Zong Yunjing is mysterious, and there is no guilt.

A kind of hope rose in Chu's heart, which could not be said and could not be said.

She also bowed slightly towards Lin Yan, but heard the Empress Zhou say: "Today's winter is particularly cold, can your mansion still be lively last year's Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and one of them stood up and said with a smile: "But according to the management of previous years, lead the juniors to make trouble." ”

said that it was lively, and it was a taboo for Princess Ning; said that it was not lively, Queen Zhou didn't know what kind of moth it was.

Zhang, the wife of Li Wenzhi, a cabinet scholar, waited for the man to sit down, and also got up and said with a smile: "This year's wind and rain are smooth, and I am in a prosperous era, how can there be no reason not to be lively." ”

But no one answered her.

Lin Yan snorted coldly in the silence.

Zhang didn't dare to ask directly, but the concubine of King Wei was stupid and bold: "What is King Ning's sister-in-law?" Isn't what this lady said right, I don't have a smooth wind and rain, or I can't call it a prosperous world? ”

Lin Yan sat up straight and didn't speak, worried that she was weak, and Wen Xinyu, who came to congratulate her with a belly, didn't agree: "What's the matter, can't people laugh during the New Year?" ”

The hall was even quieter, and even Queen Zhou, who turned her head to talk to someone, also glanced back.

Zhang Qian said angrily: "Is that a laugh?" It's a mockery! ”

"How?" Lin Yan learned her sister-in-law's tone: "Do you have to fight for the New Year? ”

“……”

Zhang Qian was choked so lightly, the other party choked like this, and it seemed that it was too late to take back her words.

In the eyes of a group of high-grade women watching the show, Zhang Qian blushed and said: "Princess Ning is fighting when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, which is insulting to Sven. ”

Where did the retarded come from, please take it away.

Lin Yan is also idle when she is idle, and she doesn't mind talking more.

She rolled her eyes: "Sven? When did I Sven? ”

The woman who was still grinning suddenly closed her mouth tightly.

Queen Zhou said unhappily: "Princess Ning, have you eaten firecrackers for the New Year?" ”

When Lin Yan heard this, she raised her head to face Queen Zhou, and grinned: "I didn't eat firecrackers, I'm waiting to see a good show." ”

The tea in Queen Zhou's hand was upside down, almost slippery.

It seemed that in response to Lin Yan's words, a palace maid ran into the house in a panic, and fell to the ground before entering the door. 10
