Whether it is gathering or dividing, the New Year is always coming.

The crown prince and Concubine Nan arranged a New Year's banquet together.

No matter how urgent the border is, the people of the world still have to put on lanterns to welcome the new year.

After watching the fireworks show with the ministers, after the banquet, the emperor was physically exhausted and went back to the harem to rest accompanied by Concubine Qiong.

Before the queen left the palace, she cleaned up the forces in the palace, and some of the details were also secretly disposed of, and the emperor could finally rest assured that there was a prince outside who could be in charge alone.

The emperor left, the atmosphere in the hall was finally warmer, although it was the Chinese New Year's Eve today, Sister Yan still treated them coldly, these people knew that her relatives and friends were not there, they were in a bad mood, and they also extinguished their thoughts.

Sitting was boring, and Sister Yan simply borrowed the spirit of wine to go out to breathe.

Last night, there was a heavy snowfall, covering the palace wall, and the light and shadow of the lights were printed on it, which was quite lively.

Walked a few steps on the cloister outside.

"Xiao Yan'er, wait for me. ”

Looking back, He Zhou carried a small jar of wine and followed, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was full of mist.

"It's so boring inside, I was about to come out, and I saw you come out. ”

"Are you bored. ”

He Zhou said, "The smile one by one is too fake. ”

Sister Yan raised her eyebrows and pointed to the wine in his hand, "You just take this small jar and give it to whom." ”

He Zhou was about to return the favor, but he saw her snatching it with her hand and dodging on one side of her body.

"If you want to snatch the wine from my hand, let's talk about it after fighting. ”

The two of them have been aggrieved for a long time, and it doesn't hurt to simply compete.

They didn't bring weapons when they came out, but they weren't ordinary people, and their fists and feet were beyond the reach of many people.

Sister Yan hasn't let go of her fists and feet for many days, and she can be regarded as happy.

From the cloister to the rockery, taking care of the wine jar, the subordinates are careful.

All of a sudden, stunned the attendants.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor and Lord He have fought. ”

The people in the temple were shocked, what was the matter.

Only Xie Yun sat well, not in a hurry, he knew the two of them, they must be joking, although Xiao Jiu has looked a lot more stable recently, but she is still a little willful little girl in her bones.

Seeing that everyone was curious, the prince said helplessly, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

A bunch of people followed out curiously, only to see the two of them knocking down Zhenghuan.

After looking at it for a while, I noticed that they seemed to be robbing the small jar.

I only heard someone behind me, "There are so many wines in the palace, what is there to grab." ”

"Look. ”

Although many people came out to watch, it did not affect them.

The two of them rushed to a building.

Sister Yan blocked Hezhou's palm with one hand, turned around and grabbed it with one hand, Hezhou threw the jar with the trend, turned around to get rid of Sister Yan, and was about to pick it up, Sister Yan slapped it over, and the palm wind rushed the altar up.

He Zhou pounced in the air, Sister Yan went up, He Zhou fell to the ground, kicked off with one leg, but Sister Yan stepped on the soles of his feet to catch the jar with strength, and stood on the eaves of the first floor and laughed.

The tricks are exquisite, and everyone seems to be a young man who is free and easy on the rivers and lakes.

But He Zhou will not admit defeat easily, and he will catch up, and Sister Yan will continue to go up with the jar.

You chased me, but Hezhou didn't catch up.

Sister Yan stood on the roof of the building and patted the mud on the jar, "One and a half." ”

As he spoke, he took the jar and poured it down, and He Zhou, who was on the next floor, raised his head, opened his mouth to catch it, splashed a little hops, and disappeared all of a sudden.

Feeling almost in her hand, Sister Yan withdrew her hand and drank the remaining half of the jar, and the two of them said at the same time, "Good wine." ”

Smile at each other, regardless of what others think.

After watching this scene, no one bothered about why they wanted to grab a jar of wine.

King Ye said to the crown prince, "It's really capricious." ”

Nan Qi said, "Damn, you didn't even leave it for me." ”

The prince said helplessly, "It's really capricious, this obviously doesn't want to drink with us." ”

Nan Qi said unhappily, "You're you, don't take me, okay." ”

King Ye scolded, "Don't be rude. ”

The prince knew that he regarded his cousin as his own, so he was relieved, "It's okay, I said it wrong." ”

King Duan couldn't interject, standing aside with an inexplicable expression, and the others didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Yi Ning stood behind his brothers and didn't speak, but in his heart he turned the river and the sea, and it was impossible for him to live so arbitrarily in his life.

After the two of them finished drinking, they couldn't pretend not to see everyone, so they walked over together, and handed the wine jar to the palace maid next to them casually, and the sister Yanyou regained her indifferent look.

It's a pity that some people don't cooperate, Xie Yun looked at the mist they exhaled, frowned and said, "I don't wear a cloak when I come out." ”

He Zhou smiled, "It's not cold when you move, we're all sweating, everyone who came out to enjoy the snow?"

It was hard for everyone to say that they had come out to watch you, so they said, "Yes, yes." ”

He Zhou turned back to his sister Yan and said, "I'm sweating, let's go in, don't disturb them to enjoy the snow." ”

It seems that he is really dissatisfied with these guys, so his sister Yan said "um", greeted the prince and a few people, and went in.

Leaving everyone looking at each other, it was really a free ride.

Xie Yun was not at ease and continued to instruct them.

"Go back to your house tonight and keep vigil with me. ”

Sister Yan instructed Qinglan Dao, "Move the important official documents to the second brother's mansion, and I'll take a look at it tonight." ”

Xie Yun said unhappily, "For the New Year, do you still have to review official documents?"

"Anyway, I don't sleep during the New Year, the courtiers will be on vacation for the next three days, I don't want to socialize, so I live in the second brother's house, you block it for me. ”

"Alas, every year the year is observed, and the children always can't stay up to sleep, and I don't know how this year will be. ”

He Zhou said, "They will be back soon, don't worry." ”

It's been a good year.

That night, Sister Yan and Tianshen followed Xie Yun back to the house, and the royal people took them in the palace to accompany the New Year.

Su Yue's hometown is the most lively.

The old man was naturally happy when he saw the juniors gathered together, but his favorite grandchildren did not come back, and he was a little regretful after all.

But the children are all older and have their own things to do, and that doesn't stop them from being no.

What's more, they had already sent letters and New Year's gifts, and they didn't deliberately not come back.

Young people, with their families and countries in their hearts, are always good, and they only hope that they can accompany them for a while while this old life is still there.

Even if everyone is worried, they also know that cherishing the moment is the most important thing, and the smile on everyone's face is sincere.

Tian Shen and Xie Ling couldn't take care of the custom of keeping the New Year, and the group went to bed early as usual after dinner, and they still had to hurry tomorrow.

In these days, everyone can be regarded as arriving in the hinterland of the Shang Kingdom, and after six or seven days of driving, they will be able to reach the Shang Capital.

Among the four countries, Qi and Jin were the closest to Shang, and the envoys of Qi were about to arrive, but the envoys of Jin, who were allies of Shang, had not yet left the border of their own country, and they were greeted with good intentions at first glance.

Banquets were held in the royal palaces of various countries.

The royal family of the Qin State is thin, and the eldest princess is out on business, although Emperor Qin rarely experiences the feeling of having all the power in his hands, he inevitably feels lonely.

In this year's New Year's Festival, there is no longer the emperor's uncle's earnest teaching, and there is no royal sister's caring eyes.

Afraid of such loneliness, the emperor actually wanted to invite the princess into the palace to attend a banquet, but the princess refused on the grounds of mourning.

Seeing that the emperor was unhappy to go, Concubine De persuaded him again and drew Emperor Qin's attention to herself.

Seeing that the construction of the homesick building has begun, you can see how grand the scale is on the finished drawings.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tianshen Xie Ling got up early and specially distributed red envelopes to everyone, which was regarded as a reward for everyone.

It's also sticky and happy.

The eldest princess also set off early in the morning and went to Shangdu.

Although the Shang State issued a letter of invitation to various countries to come to the Shang State to discuss major matters, there was no action, and even the post house was not sprinkled and cleaned, as if it had forgotten about it.

When they received the news, they were even more convinced that Shang Guo was going to be a scoundrel.

The Jin State sent the Shang State slowly, but the secret action was very fast.

On the occasion of the New Year celebrated by thousands of families, a team of people was sent to the grassland separated from the Chu State in the north of the Jin State.

The Jin State and the Chu State do not have much border, except for the southern frontier guarded by the king of Yunnan, the rest will pass through the Qianliluochuan grassland.

The Luochuan grassland is full of nomadic tribes, and although it is not easy to survive, those who survive under this condition are very tough.

The entire Luochuan grassland is only 800,000 people, but their nearly 300,000 young and middle-aged good men, no matter which country they are with, are not easy to deal with, if it were not for the unification of the grassland, they would not have been content with the grassland for a long time.

If you want to subdue them, you must pay a huge price, and for the several countries that are facing each other, they cannot be offended.

On the contrary, if you get the help of the grassland, it is like a tiger with wings.

But although the grassland people are rough, they are not stupid, the grassland is in the middle of the three kingdoms of Qin, Jin and Chu, if they can keep themselves, it is already good, sometimes go to the surrounding areas to grab some food, and it is already good to live.

Many lessons in the past have shown that greed has no good results, so the grassland can be regarded as a corner of peace.

Emperor Jin sent people to the grassland, or he wanted to use the grassland to let the soldiers and horses of the Jin State raid from here.

The border between the Jin State and the Chu State is less than half of the border between the Shang State and the Chu State, and there are fewer breakthroughs.

If Shang and Jin wanted to jointly invade Chu and the Jin State could not be used, it would naturally be a loss for the Jin State, and the Shang State would occupy more land.

However, if the grassland army is united to attack the Chu State, the price to be paid will be greater, and it will not be reliable, and the grassland people will not watch the Jin people eat meat.

Everything still needs to be discussed, so take advantage of everyone's attention to the business country and negotiate a plan first.

Inevitably, Emperor Jin made some arrangements, and this passer-by set off unknowingly.

I haven't sent any news to the grassland side in advance, and I plan to send a letter to the grassland in the near future, and strive to reach cooperation as soon as possible.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Tianshen and his entourage arrived in Shangdu, and the prince Lian Jin personally met with him and arranged to enter the post house that was hurriedly cleaned, so he shirked and left in advance, and deliberately arranged for Cui Yue to entertain them.

The subordinates were very angry, and the two of them were calm, unconcerned about such a provocation, waiting for Lian Jin's follow-up move.
