The New Year's banquet is usually the most lively time in the palace in a year, the palace is sprinkled with new ones, the lanterns are colorful, the door is pasted with the word Fu, the window is pasted with cut flowers, and the red brocade reflects the ice and snow, which is particularly bright. Eight? One in one? Text≤≥≥.≈8≈1≤Z=≈.≈C≥OM

Xie Ning sat beside the emperor, and on an occasion like today, she was wearing a bright yellow concubine dress, and she was dressed very luxuriously and gracefully.

The concubine Niangniang, who was sitting in a precarious position, covered up with the action of serving wine, and yawned a lot.

This action is invisible to others, but the emperor has seen it for sure.

"Tired?"

Xie Ning whispered: "Don't be tired, the hall is a little stuffy." ”

Can you not be stuffy, so many people, for the sake of warmth and making it so hot, feel that every breath they take is turbid.

She spoke so quietly that the emperor could hear it, and even Qinghe could only see her lips moving slightly.

"Let the long window on the west side be opened, and we'll have to watch the fireworks later."

"No need."

She was comfortable with the window open, but those who sat near the long window would have to suffer. In the cold weather at this time, the north wind can blow people through at once. Not to mention that the silk cotton jackets and fur jackets on their bodies may not be the best goods, even if they are the best things, they can't withstand such a blow.

After a while, the fireworks will be set off in half an hour, that is, when the New Year's banquet ends. The emperor glanced at her.

Needless to say, the reason why Shainin didn't let the window open was also known in his heart.

The emperor motioned to Bai Hongqi to move a small plate of sauced chicken and melon seeds in front of him to Xie Ning: "Try this, it's sour and refreshing." ”

Compared to the other dishes on the table, this one is refreshing and refreshing.

Bai Hongqi moved the dish and retreated silently. If it weren't for an occasion like the New Year's banquet, where would the emperor need him to come forward? I can't wait to feed the vegetables into the mouth of the concubine with my own hands, so that the hero of the white duke is useless.

However, looking far away, looking at the concubines in the hall, the Grand Duke Bai immediately became psychologically balanced.

These beauties are more eager and eager to "show their skills" in front of the emperor than the Grand Duke Bai, but unfortunately they rarely have the opportunity.

Speaking of which, next year seems to be another draft year. The emperor doesn't like to work hard and waste money, and he also knows that many civilians were afraid of the draft before, and the eunuchs and officials in charge of the selection have too many places to do in this matter, not only disturbing the people, but even harming the people, so the first few drafts have circled a place not far from the capital, and the emperor who chose the concubine was very busy, and the concubine was selected in the south. In fact, Concubine Shu's plan is very easy to guess, she is just afraid that she is still in the capital, and there will be other official eunuchs who will send their daughters to the palace, so she would rather choose some girls from ordinary families who have no foundation in the distance.

I don't know if Concubine Shu knew what to do, and remembered that she had to be the master this time, but she chose the concubine to come in, and now she regrets it.

Several princes and princesses just kowtowed to the emperor at the banquet, and then they were taken back. Mrs. Fang didn't like such an occasion, so she didn't show her face.

The others were fine, but Cao Shunrong looked at Princess Yujun when she was carried in, and her eyes were straight.

This time, Princess Yujun is quite trouble-free, and she has not been sick again. During the Chinese New Year, she wore a red dress like her sister and brother, but her head was quite yellow, and she couldn't comb it into a double mustache like Princess Yujue, and it was too sparse and funny to tie it into two pigtails, so Mrs. Fang asked her to make a soft hat, which was fluffy and fluffy, with colorful brocade flowers on a black background.

How could Cao Shunrong live in peace, a pair of eyes eager to stick to Princess Yujun. When the nurses and princesses went out with the princesses, Cao Shunrong came back to his senses after a long time.

She hated it in her heart.

If someone hadn't made it bad, Princess Jade would have stayed in her Yalan Xuan a long time ago. And since she has to take care of the princess, she must be sitting next to the emperor and the concubine at this time, why is she being lukewarmly left aside like now?

Not to mention this year's Jinfeng, if she hadn't been calculated, maybe she would already be Concubine Cao by this time!

The more Cao Shunrong thought about it, the more ugly his face became, and the more unkind his eyes became when he looked at his left and right.

Chen Jieyu also came today, she was still thickly wrapped from head to toe, and she didn't eat anything except two cups of hot tea. Gao Jieyu noticed it and asked her softly, "Are you uncomfortable?" Then go back early. ”

"I'm getting better these days."

And why?

Could it be because I was poisoned during the last New Year's banquet, once I was bitten by a snake, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years? That's why I didn't dare to touch my lips today.

"The things on the table are either cold or greasy, and they can't be restrained after eating. When I came, I had people boil porridge, and when I went back, I drank a bowl of hot porridge, which was warm and moisturizing, and did not hurt my stomach. Sister Gao should also take more maintenance, like when I got to this point, I knew that everything else was empty, and the body was better than anything. ”

Hearing her say this, Gao Jieyu couldn't help but sigh.

"You're right, people like us, if we don't feel sorry for ourselves anymore, do we still expect others to feel sorry for you?"

Chen Jieyu was in the palace back then, and her appearance could be said to be one of the best, and when the concubine was just emerging from the limelight, she was also compared together. But now the concubine is like a blooming peony, the country is fragrant, and the light is hard to see. But Chen Jieyu is like a remnant flower and a willow that has been frosted, her face is withered and haggard, and she is long gone.

In such a moment, you can see how cruel life in the palace is.

Looking at Cao Shunrong's gloomy appearance, Gao Jieyu didn't bother to look at her at all.

Cao Shunrong was originally born handsome and lovely, but he was sick, and now he has resentment in his heart, and that face looks ......

With this appearance, even if the emperor still has the intention of letting her raise the princess, he will immediately dispel the idea.

Mrs. Fang took care of the princess so well, why bother to exchange for tossing the child? Gao Jieyu heard that because the princess was doing well in Fuhui Hall, and the princess was there to relieve Mrs. Fang's loneliness, so Princess Yujun would not change places at all, and she would have to be raised in Fuhui Hall in the future. This is a good thing for the other lady and Princess Yuju. Princess Yujun lost her biological mother, and Mrs. Fang took care of her, which is also very beneficial to her future reputation and identity. After all, Mrs. Fang's identity is almost an open secret, and she will take care of and raise her, will the future of the princess be poor in the future?

No matter how much Cao Shunrong gritted his teeth, he couldn't change this fact, while Gao Jieyu looked down on her, she also felt a little pity for her in her heart, and of course she didn't bother to bother with her.

"There will be fireworks tonight, right?" Chen Jieyu glanced at the direction of the palace gate: "I still remember that when I entered the palace for the first year to watch the fireworks, I didn't step on the city ladder properly, and one of my shoes fell off." ”

"Yes, I heard that this year's fireworks are particularly chic, which is very interesting."
