The last day of the thirty-fifth year of Yuanhe, Chinese New Year's Eve.

A rare lantern in the palace.

In the past ten years, the emperor felt that the extravagance of the harem should be rectified.

Therefore, many places in the palace are mainly maintenance, and there is no large-scale repair.

Including many times the Chinese New Year, it is spent by the family in Yihua Palace.

This year, it has changed the low-key of the past, and the Huasheng Building, where the palace banquet was held, was decorated with a particularly good look.

There are 100 palace lights, and the main hall is magnificent and beautiful.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the head, showing the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

There is only one phoenix chair next to it, and it is naturally Lin Wanyi who is dressed up to attend.

Even if she is only the title of a noble concubine now, all her outfits and arrangements, none of which are not queens, and even surpass what queens can have.

Therefore, the imperial concubine looks very harmonious.

The left and right sides of the lower head were also full of people.

The prince is respected, naturally he is the first on the right, and today he is also wearing the prince's court clothes, and he does not lose the dignity of the heavenly family in the heroic martial arts.

And beside him are the Han Wang couple, the Pei Wang couple, the Lin Xiruo couple, and the third princess.

As for behind them, sitting were the people of the East Palace and the royal palace.

Looking at the past, the courtiers respected the four princesses.

This year, the four princes and the king of Xiao both had military affairs and failed to rush back, so the two of them were missing from the palace banquet.

But there are a lot of new faces.

For example, Li Guogong and his wife, who have married their daughter to King Pei, and General Dezhao, Lin Zong's future father-in-law.

As for the other Lin Xingzhi and his wife, the Feng couple, the Lady of the Count's Mansion of Rongchang, Uncle Lin and his wife, Dou Taiyi and the Dong family, etc.

It's a face that gathers often, so there's nothing special about it.

There are dozens of people on the left and right.

Men, women, and children, all of whom have a relationship with the royal family, seem to be particularly lively tonight.

In front of the table are fine food and wine, and in the hall is singing and dancing.

The children were also watching the performance with relish, especially Valin, which sat up very upright today.

The royal lord is very well handled.

As for her younger siblings, they are too young, so they are still accompanied by their nursing mothers.

But it's all quiet, and there's no noise.

Lin Wanyi glanced at everyone, and there was a state of peace and joy between her eyebrows.

Especially when I glanced at the Pei Wang couple who had just been married for a long time, it was Qin Se and Ming, and the husband and wife followed.

I couldn't help but sigh a little.

Now that the family affairs of the fourth child have been completed, all the children have not yet been settled by the third princess and the king of Xiao.

As for the crown prince, she looks alone at the moment, but she has also heard a little about it in the harem, and she heard that she has been running diligently to Zeng's house recently.

Look at this, I'm afraid that in a year at most, the crown princess will have eyebrows.

So she's not in a hurry.

The emperor's face was usually more serious, but today he relaxed a lot.

While watching the singing and dancing, he didn't forget to talk to Lin Wanyi sideways.

For a while, he praised this dish for a good job, and for a while, he said that Valin's etiquette was taught very well.

Lin Wanyi listened quietly, cooperating with a few words from time to time.

But it makes the palace banquet even more joyful.

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor stood up, picked up a glass of palace jade brew in his hand and said aloud.

"If today's peace is peaceful, the people are rich, and they can't do without all Aiqing, Wenchen and virtuous generals, they are all God's gifts to me, a glass of wine, respect to you, respect the people, respect Dawei!"

Seeing this, everyone immediately got up and took the wine or fruit wine, and replied loudly to the emperor.

"Respect the emperor, respect the people, respect the Great Wei!"

When the wine is full, the people are content.

Dong Yuzhong walked in from outside the hall and replied in a low voice while standing beside the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the fireworks are ready, but now let's go and see them?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes, the minions obey."

The emperor was together, and Dong Yuzhong followed closely behind.

"The fireworks show on Chinese New Year's Eve has been prepared, and I invite you to move outside the hall to share the grand event with the emperor and the noble concubine."

"Yes, the ministers obey."

The group walked out of the main hall.

Standing on the white jade Hanshi stand outside the main hall and waiting quietly.

After a while, the fireworks show began.

Every year since the emperor ascended the throne, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve there has been a grand fireworks display.

And the fireworks are different every year.

Sometimes it's dominated by dragons and phoenixes, and sometimes it's dominated by a hundred flowers.

This year, however, it was different.

At the beginning, the four big characters "Taiping and Prosperous Times" resounded in the sky, which amazed everyone for a while.

I saw a lot of fireworks based on patterns, and this year, there were rare fireworks with fonts, and everyone was very excited.

And these are all gratifying in the eyes of the emperor.

looked at the prince on the side and said.

"That's a good job."

The prince smiled, but he was not greedy for merit.

"This plan is what the second brother and the fourth brother think, the method is provided by Lord Zeng, and the sons are just looking for some skilled craftsmen, and they should not be praised by their father, they are the ones who should be praised."

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at the prince with relief.

Ten thousand people in my heart wished that he would ascend the throne at once.

And they will also follow the new emperor to create a new prosperous peace.

The emperor looked up at the sky and clasped Lin Wanyi's hand at his side.

Today, in the world, the people, lovers, children, loyal ministers, good generals, and territory, he has everything.

It seems that it is time for the rapids to retreat.

It's just that there are still two things that have not been done, and after these two things are done, he will "abdicate and make way for Xian".

He didn't have to be trapped in this palace for the rest of his life, he didn't want to become an envoy of power forever, and in the second half of his life, he wanted to change his way of life.

So, he looked at Lin Wanyi, and the strength to hold her in his hand was a little stronger.

Lin Wanyi felt it, so she looked sideways and asked with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Looking at the color of fireworks in Lin Wanyi's eyes, the emperor smiled tenderly.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of news was announced in front of everyone.

"In March, I want to take the concubine and the princesses and princesses to the south, one is to see the queen mother, and the other is to see the situation of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so after the opening of the dynasty in the next year, all matters will be handed over to the prince to deal with, and after his wedding, I can also retire."

As soon as these words came out, some people were clear in their hearts, and some people were slightly shocked.

But none of those present objected.

The prince's expression was also quite calm, obviously knowing about his father's move in advance.

So, he took the lead and said respectfully to the emperor.

"The son will not live up to his mission."

Seeing this, all the ministers and princes also knelt down consciously and said in unison.

"The ministers obey."

In the night, the emperor and Lin Wanyi stood in the middle, calm.
