Chinese New Year's Eve is the busiest day of the year for Ye Qinghuai, just after the third change, he has to get up, according to the itinerary of the ceremonial department from the front hall to the harem, the major palaces have to twist incense and salute, busy until noon to eat, and in the afternoon with the mighty clan team to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors, a set of complicated processes down, it is already dark.

According to the rule, the emperor's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten with the concubines and princes of the harem in the Zhaoyang Palace. But now the harem is empty, and there are only a few concubines and concubines left by Emperor Shunde, so this year's Chinese New Year's Eve rice leaf dumping is also used in Zhaoyang Hall with the clan relatives.

It has been 200 years since the grand view, and there are countless royal families. The clan relatives at the banquet were from Shengjing City and from other places, but most of Ye Qinghuai didn't know each other, so the meal on Chinese New Year's Eve was also very draining.

It was not until the time when he was close to the son that Ye Tianhuai returned to Jingshou Palace accompanied by Li Baoquan.

Ye Tianhuai sat on the ride, holding her head and closing her eyes, and suddenly felt a trace of coolness fall on her face, she opened her eyes slightly, and saw that there were sparse snow particles falling slowly in the sky.

In a trance, she remembered the day she died.

It seems to be such a day, the snow is falling silently, and it is so cold that no matter how thick the jacket is, it can't be stopped.

She suddenly had a headache, so she closed her eyes again.

After getting off the sedan chair, Ye Tianhuai heard Li Baoquan say to Aunt Fanghua who was guarding outside Jingshou Palace: "Your Majesty has drunk some wine, and I bother my aunt to take care of it." Tomorrow, Mao is the Taihe Hall to congratulate, and our family will come to welcome Your Majesty at three o'clock. ”

"I have worked hard for my father-in-law today, and I will hand it over to the slave here, and my father-in-law can rest assured. Father-in-law, let's rest early. Aunt Fanghua gave Li Baoquan a full salute, and then went to Chengyu to help Ye Tianhuai down.

Half of Ye Tianhuai's body was pressed against Aunt Fanghua, making it a little difficult for her to walk.

Seeing this, Li Baoquan wanted to come up to help, but Aunt Fanghua separated him with her body.

"It's okay, the slave and maid helped His Majesty to go in and rest. Father-in-law should go back early. Aunt Fanghua said as she half-supported and half-hugged Ye Tianhuai and went to the palace gate.

"Then we'll go first." Li Baoquan also saluted Aunt Fanghua, although he was several levels higher than Aunt Fanghua in grade, but Aunt Fanghua was the emperor's only personal palace maid after all, and she was courteous to her in the entire harem.

Chengyu's team left quickly, and Aunt Fanghua finally helped Ye Tianhuai into Jingshou Palace.

At this time, Ye Qianhuai suddenly woke up like wine, she broke away from Aunt Fanghua's arms, and opened her arms to face the sky. The snow was already falling heavily in a moment, and Ye Tianhuai greeted the snowflakes in the sky, stood for a while, and suddenly smiled.

"Ruixue mega year. The sky is auspicious, it is a good year. Years and three years should have been a good year. She said to the sky, her voice indistinguishable from crying and laughing.

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, let's go in and talk." Aunt Fanghua saw that she was drunk, and dragged her into the house.

Ye Tianhuai seemed to be ruthless, and he shook off Aunt Fanghua's hand.

Aunt Fanghua turned her head to look at her, and was about to say cruel words to stop her drunkenness, but she saw Ye Tianhuai looking at her with a pair of clear eyes, her eyes were clear, and she couldn't see any signs of drunkenness.

"Auntie, do you say I'm a faint king?"

Aunt Fanghua was stunned by her never-ending words, but when she saw Ye Tianhuai's serious expression, she couldn't help but feel sour.

This child is something she watched grow up, and how much she has suffered since she was a child, she knows it best, and she is also the most distressed. Whenever she thought that she was just a sixteen-year-old girl, but she had never had half a moment of happiness in her daughter's house since she was a child, Aunt Fanghua always secretly wiped her tears.

"The slave is a woman, she has no knowledge, and she can't tell the difference between Mingjun and Duanjun. But the slave lived a long time and saw many people. The slave maid felt that if she were to change to those people, she would definitely not do as well as His Majesty. ”

"Why?"

The slave and maid couldn't say why. That's what I think. ”

Ye Tianhuai looked at Aunt Fanghua for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Auntie, you are used to spoiling me, and you spoil me." ”

As she spoke, she walked towards the house, and asked as she walked, "Is Grandpa Zhou here?" ”

"It's coming, it's inside. Your Majesty, you go in first, and the slave maid goes to fetch the decanting soup and dumplings. Seeing that Ye Tianhuai was conscious, Aunt Fanghua relieved herself, stopped supporting her, and walked towards the small kitchen of Jingshou Palace.

Zhou Shouyi was sitting in the room, and when he saw Ye Tianhuai's face flushed, his face suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "How much did you drink?" ”

Ye Tianhuai was shocked by his glance, and hurriedly smiled with him: "No more, no more, just a few glasses." ”

As she spoke, she made it at the table, there were several stacks of melon and fruit snacks on the table, and the room was also carefully decorated by Aunt Fanghua, decorated with some just right New Year's flavor. Ye Tianhuai grabbed a citrus and peeled it, she tried to change the topic: "I heard that the citrus yield in Yingzhou this year is good, has Grandpa Zhou tasted it?" ”

Zhou Shouyi still stared at her with a serious expression, and asked reluctantly, "Drank half a catty?" ”

Ye Tianhuai knew that he couldn't resist him, sighed, and said distressedly: "There are many people today, especially the clans in Zhongzhou and Yingzhou, all of whom have come to Beijing for the first time since I ascended the throne, so it is inevitable that I will have to drink more." ”

"How much did you drink?"

"I can't remember exactly, it's about twenty or thirty." Ye said.

"That's almost a pound."

As soon as Zhou Shouyi's words fell, the door was pushed open by Aunt Fanghua. She was carrying a tray with two large plates of dumplings and a bowl of decanting soup, steaming hot, in stark contrast to the snowy night behind her.

Aunt Fanghua's nose was slightly red, and she closed the door as soon as she entered.

"It's snowy." Aunt Fanghua's face was full of joy, and she put the things on the tray on the table one by one, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave will go and get you a hand stove." Eat it while it's hot. ”

Zhou Shouyi brought the bowl of decanting soup to Ye Tianhuai and said, "Drink this first." ”

Seeing Ye Tianhuai obediently pick up the bowl and drink, he left his seat again and went to his medicine box to rummage through it.

After a while, Zhou Shouyi took out a small paper bag from the medicine box, handed it to Aunt Fanghua and said, "Rinse the medicinal powder in this with hot water and bring it to her to drink." ”

Ye Tianhuai looked at the small paper bag with some vigilance, took the half-drunk decanting soup away from his mouth, and asked, "Grandpa Zhou, what is this?" ”

"Liver-nourishing things, you drink this after you finish drinking what you have in your hands." After saying that, he added, "Don't think about bargaining. ”

Ye Tianhuai secretly looked at Zhou Shouyi's expression out of the corner of his eyes, saw his iron-faced and selfless serious appearance, and looked at the bag of medicinal powder again, and had a bad premonition.

According to Ye Qianhuai's experience, the medicine prepared by Zhou Shouyi has always been difficult to drink.
