In winter, a first snow is coming, the swirling bead curtain over the powder wall, lighter than the catkins and heavier than the frost, Qionglou Yuyu, the bronze lion beast spine have fallen a layer of snow, the white snow and red wall glazed tiles, it is very good-looking.

Empress Dowager Xiaochun's body is still not good, lingering on the sickbed all day long, wheezing constantly, Lu Yuan stays in front of her day and day, personally serving the decoction, worried, and the pain of losing her son is also diluted.

Yu Lin was also impatient, and reprimanded the entire Tai Hospital, how could he be sick like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread, and there was still not much improvement, and he had nothing to do, so he could only come over every day to say hello.

After coughing for a while, the Queen Mother said slowly to Lu Yuan, who was guarding her: "Child, the mourning family originally wanted to protect you in this harem at all times, but now it seems that it will be useless." ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, she touched her heartstrings, tears couldn't help rolling down, and she comforted: "Auntie must not say so, you are blessed by God and will live a hundred years, and the emperor has ordered to find a famous doctor and a holy hand among the people to treat you, you can rest assured that you will recuperate." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said with a smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and the mourning family looks at it very lightly. It's just that I haven't seen your family reunited, and I have regrets in my mourning family. ”

Lu Yuan had relatives in her heart, and tried her best to comfort her, deliberately saying something interesting to make the Queen Mother happy, and added another hour every evening to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the Queen Mother.

Tai Hospital, the head of the Tai Hospital, said that the winter climate was dry and cold, which was not conducive to the Queen Mother's condition, and proposed to move the Queen Mother's phoenix frame to the Tangquan Palace to recuperate the phoenix body.

There are many hot springs in the Tangquan Palace, the scenery is pleasant, even in the cold winter is also lush, it is a good place to recuperate the body and mind, there is a poem "Lingshan contains golden sand since ancient times, white snow and red plum bloom in spring." The purple mist flutters to connect with the holy space, and the auspicious clouds are wonderful. Dysphoria, inducing and removing scabies and relieving fatigue. The pearl outside the plug is a victory, and the fragrance of the four seasons does not need to be praised. It can be seen that the soup spring nourishes people.

After the Queen Mother nodded, Yu Lin ordered the Internal Affairs Office and others to quickly arrange some travel matters.

Lu Yuan asked for an order to accompany the Queen Mother to the palace to wait, although Yu Lin was reluctant, but seeing her sincere words and strong will, she had to agree.

Unexpectedly, two days before leaving, the cages had been packed and stopped, but Lu Yuan fell ill, dizzy, and unsteady on his feet. The doctor rushed to diagnose and treat him, and the reason was that the body of the slippery fetus had not fully recovered before, and he had worked hard for several days, resulting in qi deficiency and blood loss, and his body was overwhelmed. Lu Yuan was extremely anxious, but she had no choice but to stay in bed to recuperate.

At this time, Liang Chang took the initiative to ask the emperor for his life in Cao Bangyun, and was willing to go to the Tangquan Palace to serve with the Queen Mother on behalf of Lu Yuan.

When Lu Yuan learned this, her mood also relaxed slightly, she knew that the good nobleman used to be the person who served the Queen Mother, and it was very appropriate to go to serve the sick.

Two days later, Yu Lin personally escorted the Queen Mother and the good nobles to the Tangquan Palace with a guard of honor.

At the end of the year, due to the discord between the Queen Mother and the Holy Body, there was no big event in the palace on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, but more than a dozen tables of banquets were set up in the Purple Gold Hall, and all the ladies and princes and nobles of the harem were invited, and Lu Yuan allowed her to rest in Yurun Hall because she was unwell. The Purple Gold Hall was arranged according to the regulations of Chinese New Year's Eve, with brilliant incense candles, brocade tents, and colorful screens.

The queen wore a scarlet auspicious dress, sat on the throne, and said to Yu Lin with a smile: "The banquet is indispensable for singing and dancing, and the concubines let the dancers rehearse a new dance, can the emperor take a look at it?" ”

Yu Lin nodded slightly. The queen signaled to Yu Qiu, Yu Qiu raised her palm and patted it, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music slowly played, and several dancers in pink gauze clothes carried a crystal disc to the center of the hall, and a pretty dancer on the crystal disc was dancing.

This dancing girl face is like a hibiscus, beautiful eyes, charming and moving, I saw her dressed in a lilac Yunying silk dress, the skirt is dotted with lilies embroidered with silver threads, the snow-white jade arms are looming, she holds a jade red plum in her hand, light and manly dance, fluttering like a fairy, the best thing is that she has a string of silver bells on her ankles and wrists, and the bells sound crisply with the dance.

Yu Lin's gaze was unconsciously attracted, and he smiled at the queen and said, "This Qing is very interesting. ”

The queen bowed and smiled: "This dancing girl is selected by Si Le, she has been trained for a long time, and her body is as light as a swallow, which is comparable to Zhao Feiyan's palm dance." ”

Yu Lin smiled: "Not bad. ”

Concubine Rong, who was at the bottom right, looked unhappy, and said angrily: "Fox! "Grab your glass and drink it down.

The queen then smiled and said, "If the beauty is like this, why not enter the arms early." Why didn't the emperor include her in the harem? ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Lin's color changed, and he said solemnly: "Could it be that in the eyes of the queen, I am such a womanizer?" ”

The queen was stunned, there was no smile on her face, and she knelt down in front of the palace and said: "The emperor is angry, and the concubines definitely don't mean that." ”

Concubine Rong laughed on the side: "The queen mother is too virtuous!" ”

The queen pleaded guilty again and again, and Yu Lin said lightly: "That's it, sit down!" The Empress has also worked a lot for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet recently, and her mind is tired and her speech is inappropriate, which is not worth blaming. In the future, let Concubine Rong assist in the six palaces, and the queen will rest more! ”

When Concubine Rong heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank her and said, "The concubine must do her best to live up to the emperor's trust." ”

The queen had to bow and thank the emperor for his compassion, return to her seat, and force a smile.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is still going on, and everyone is smiling, but this smile is not the same.

In Yurun Hall, more than a dozen people from the master and servant were also celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve and celebrating the New Year. Although Lu Yuan was not in good health, he was in good spirits, and he was with everyone inside and out.

The inner and outer halls of Yurun Hall are lit with red candles, a piece of light is bright, and the newly pasted window flowers on the window are red and golden, which is very festive. These window flowers are cut out by Biluo and Chunhua Mingqing in the afternoon, they take gold and silver leaf and colored paper, there are "flowers bloom rich", "peacocks open the screen", "magpies climb the branches", "red plum spring", "two dragons play with pearls", all kinds of colors, lifelike.

Under the eaves, the corridor is hung with Wufu auspicious glazed palace lamps, the courtyard is pasted with peach charms, and even the bamboo is tied with bright red silk, which means auspicious. The table of the Eight Immortals in the outer hall is full of all kinds of dried and fresh fruit plates, assorted side dishes, and a pot of pear blossom drunk, ready for everyone to eat and drink happily at night.

When it got dark, the stars in the sky were shining, and Lu Yuan suddenly wanted to go to the Baohua Hall to pray for the Queen Mother, and I heard that praying for blessings on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve was the most fulfilling.

Biluo persuaded: "The Baohua Hall is too remote, and the little master's illness has not healed, so it is not suitable to go out." Xiao Lianzi will pierce the lantern, it is better to let him make a few, and the little master will write his wish on the lamp and release it, and he can pray for blessings and prayers. ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "That's good, let's quickly let Xiao Lianzi make the lamp." ”

Xiao Lianzi immediately cut a few bamboos on the corridor of Yurun Hall, smoked bamboo sticks, and made three Kong Ming lanterns out of oiled paper. Lu Yuan wrote New Year's wishes on the lamp with pen and ink, one wishing the country and the people peace, one wishing the Queen Mother to go to the sick and healthy, and the other praying for his family reunion, and then stood on the steps and flew into the night sky in person, silently bowing his head and making a wish.

Everyone was about to return to the house after putting off the lights, and suddenly saw a petite figure coming out of the bamboo bushes, so they might as well be frightened, Biluo was the first to see clearly, it turned out to be Lan Xin, a noble person from Yanfu Palace, who was busy inviting him over, and said: "Didn't the noble little lord attend the night banquet in the Zijin Palace, why did he come here at this hour?" Why didn't anyone follow? ”

Yi Guiren pursed his lips and said: "The emperor reprimanded the queen just now, everyone in the hall was very restrained, I sneaked out to breathe, and I saw a Kong Ming lantern rising from a distance, so I came to take a look." ”

Yi Guiren is only thirteen years old this year, and he is still young, and he is innocent, coupled with his lively and simple temperament, he looks like a little daughter.

Lu Yuan was a little surprised and said, "Why did the emperor reprimand the queen?" ”

Yi Gui said: "It's just because of a dancing girl." After speaking, he turned around in front of the hall, and ran to the window to look at the window flower, and said happily: "You guys are so fun here, this window flower is so beautiful, and there are so many delicious foods, I am very restrained in that hall, and I have not eaten enough." ”

When Lu Yuan and Biluo heard this, they hurriedly pulled her to sit down at the table, and brought the Ruyi cake, lily cake, goose fat roll and other food to her, she ate it unceremoniously, it seemed that she was really hungry, and said while eating: "Sister Lu, I don't want to go back to that hall, can I play here with you?" When I was at home, I didn't have any sisters, and when I came to this palace, I lived alone in that empty house, and only Xiaoling and Zhen'er accompanied me every day, and I had to learn the rules and obey the rules, which was really boring. Or is my sister more lively here, can I come to play often in the future? ”

Lu Yuan saw that she was cute and cute, and she also liked it very much, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's okay, but you can't let such a person come secretly and make the palace people worry." ”

Yi Guiren stuck out his tongue mischievously and said with a smile: "They always follow me, don't let me do this, don't let me do that." But Sister Lu said this, I will definitely obey. ”

While he was talking, Yi Guiren's personal maid Xiaoling hurriedly walked in, and saw Yi Guiren sitting at the table eating snacks, as if seeing a savior, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My little master can let the slave and maid be easy to find, the slave and maid inquired all the way, and heard the palace man who guarded the garden say that he found this place only when he saw the little master coming in the direction of Jingxi Palace." If you lose the little master, how can you explain it? ”

Chunhua and Mingqing hurriedly pulled Xiaoling into the hall and brought her hot tea to ward off the cold.

Everyone sat around the table regardless of master and servant, drinking and eating snacks, throwing dice, and holding wine orders, which was very lively. It was almost the third watch day, and Lu Yuan instructed Xiao Yunzi to escort Yi Gui and Xiao Ling back to the Purple Gold Palace.

In Yurun Hall, everyone continued to drink and sing small songs until the eastern sky was cloudy and bright, and then they fell asleep.
