After entering the wax moon, there is a New Year's flavor, and the first wisp of New Year's flavor should start from Laba porridge. Laba suddenly cooled down that morning, and it was really cold.

Su Ruoshui began to get busy on the night of the seventh day of the lunar month, and instructed the girls to wash rice, soak fruits, peel them, remove the core, and carefully sort, and then start boiling them in the middle of the night, and then stew them over a slight fire, and stew them until the early morning of the next day, and the laba porridge was boiled.

Laba porridge should be offered to the Buddha first, and then given to relatives and friends, Ye Guyuan Hong ordered someone to take out a bowl of porridge to send to Yanqing Buddhist Temple. Although the queen is no longer in Yanqing Buddhist Temple, Yanqing Buddhist Temple is still a royal family temple.

After half an hour, he ordered someone to send a Laba porridge to each palace, and of course he also received Laba porridge from others.

Most of this kind of porridge sent back and forth is given to the next person, or poured out, and no one really eats it. First, I am afraid that it is not safe, and secondly, it is not appetizing. Tanglin is such a custom, and sending it is a formality.

The Three Princes, the Sixth Princes, and the Ninth Princes were different, they didn't eat since they got up in the morning, and waited for the eldest brother to send Laba porridge, but the porridge was only delivered at the end of the day, and they ate it cleanly.

There are so many relatives in the royal family, everyone makes everyone's share, sends each other again, and then every family has a pile of porridge and no place to put it.

"A cup is like nectar when you're thirsty, and it's better to have a cup than nothing when you're drunk." Su Ruoshui watched a mountain of porridge quickly pile up in the house, but a lot of food was wasted in response to the solar term.

"Yuan Hong, it's better to send some warmth to the people on this cold day, these porridges can't be eaten, and it's a pity to throw them away, it's better to send them to the poor people to accumulate more yin virtue."

Su Ruoshui's suggestion is ten out of ten, and this time is no exception, he nodded 'uh-huh', and didn't care about anything.

Su Ruoshui didn't have to go out in person, so he ordered a few words, and the people went to the street to carry out the porridge delivery action.

In less than half an hour, the porridge of the other five palaces was also sent out, and the princes gave porridge in the royal street, and the people rushed to tell each other. In the afternoon, even many waiters, high-ranking officials, and wealthy businessmen came out to deliver porridge.

Su Ruoshui couldn't have imagined that he occasionally had an idea, and formed the custom of giving porridge to the people on the Laba Festival in Tangling. Hundreds of civil and military officials have written to praise the prince and the princes for their kindness and love for the people, both how and how they are, and all kinds of reputations fly to the royal house like snowflakes.

The emperor happily picked out a few folds and showed them to the queen, her son is getting better and better, she should be very relieved and happy, right? As a result, the queen only glanced at it a few times, and then sank her face.

She didn't need to investigate, she knew that this was the demon moth from the 'little slut' again, and Ye Guyuanhong couldn't think of giving porridge to the people.

"Your Majesty, saying that you are old and confused seems to me to scold you, do you really take these as good words?" The queen slammed the fold on the table. "Give each other bowls of porridge during the holidays, and the gift is light and affectionate. Can you still throw it on the street? It's all royal food, and it's given to those untouchables like cats and dogs to eat, and it's obviously looking down on people. All the officials dare to be angry but don't dare to speak, in other words, I will give you a letter, this is a complaint. ”

The emperor picked up the fold and looked through it, but he didn't see the smell of the complaint. Although there are some exaggerated suspicions of 'patting horses', it really doesn't reflect who is unhappy because of this.

"Yuan Heng's birthday is approaching, and I have built a painting boat, which is much bigger than the one in the Yuan calendar."

"The river is frozen in winter, where can I go to row?"

"This" the emperor was speechless for a while, and he couldn't row a boat this season. "It's because I didn't think it through enough, I just heard that they like to play in a painting boat, so I thought I'd give him a good one."

"Okay, are you willing to give it to him?" The queen turned her head away and hung her face again.

"Zitong, Yuan Heng is the only prince among the princes of Tanglin, am I not good enough for him?"

"A few taels of silver?" The empress took out the edict left by the emperor when he pretended to be critically ill. "Isn't the country left to your third son at a critical time? In the final analysis, this Kunning Palace is not as good as Huixin Pavilion to be favored-, when Miao Shiying was Concubine Hui, she ascended to the back seat in one step, and now Concubine Hui is almost one step away from becoming the queen mother. ”

"Zitong, how sad you say this, do you know? Others don't know, but you know in your heart that Yuan Hong was in Jiangnan at the time, and he had a heavy army. If I am Bintian, the country can only be left to Yuan Li, Yuan Heng is still young, he can't handle political affairs, and when Yuan Hong returns from a day of wind and thunder, he will inevitably wash the imperial capital in blood, can he watch the emperor give up the throne to others? Others can't tolerate him as a prince alive, are you willing to watch their own brothers fight each other? ”

The Empress turned and left, and the Emperor picked up the edict and tore it to pieces.

From the twentieth day of the twelfth month to the twentieth day of the first month, the government office will take a full month of annual leave. Ye Gu Yuanhong and Su Ruoshui returned to the Taigong Palace on the morning of the twentieth month, and received an invitation from the three princes at noon, inviting them and their wife to go to Liyuan Pavilion to watch the play.

"The Legend of the White Snake" is almost rehearsal, and I want to invite them to go over and take a first look. The twenty-third day of the lunar month was the birthday of Prince Tai, the ninth prince, and there were too many people watching the play that day, and they couldn't see it clearly or hear it at all.

Ye Gu Yuanli not only invited them, but also several other princes. There were two floors up and down the entire Liyuan Pavilion, and there were less than twenty people including the guards.

The Seventh Prince, Ye Gu Yuanqi, moved a large chair near the gong and drum, grabbed Lao Jiu and pressed him to the chair. "Just sit here, you can hear and see this close. This is specially arranged for you by the third brother, and he has been busy for a month. ”

The Nine Princes are not sitting here, what else can they listen to besides gongs and drums? He grabbed the chair and smashed it at Lao Qi: "I made you bad, you want to shock me to death, right?" ”

One of them ran, the other chased, and they made a fuss like two naughty children.

"Don't make a fuss!" Ye Gu Yuanhong shook his throat and the two of them all stood on their feet and stopped fighting.

"Let's watch the show, it's time to start the gong." Su Ruoshui smiled slightly, and both of them sat down.

The Ninth Prince turned his head and asked, "Third brother, is it really for me?" ”

"Well, I specially lined it up to celebrate your birthday." Ye Gu Yuanli nodded and said: "I wanted to premiere in your house in two days, but I'm afraid that the performance will be ruined by then, please come over and watch it first, if there is anything bad, I still have time to change it." ”

Birthday? The face of the Nine Princes gradually sank. 'Boom, boom! The gongs and drums sounded on the stage, and the big play was about to start, and the Nine Princes suddenly stood up.

Ye Gu Yuanheng solemnly announced to all of them: "Brothers, sisters-in-law, I don't have a birthday this year, I won't have a birthday next year, and I won't have a birthday in my lifetime in the future, you all have a good New Year at home, and no one has to give me a birthday." ”

ps: Xiao Nian's birthday is just a birthday, so can't I celebrate my birthday on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month?
