Two days after returning to the palace, the New Year came.

Ying Lili was busy in the kitchen.

Of course, she had to cook the New Year's meal herself.

The Spring Festival in the palace is very lively, but it has nothing to do with Guanju Palace.

Front hall.

Ying Lili was wrapped in a cloak and waited under the porch.

Towards dusk, the goose feather snow fell again.

Reach out and catch a few snowflakes.

Warm in the palm of your hand, it melts quickly.

His Highness has been in it for most of the day.

I guess he was missing his mother.

What about yourself?

Rong Qingzhang came behind her.

Listen to what is on her mind.

Ying Lili is immersed in her own world.

She didn't seem to miss her parents too much.

Growing up assertive.

But it is also burdened with the heavy expectations of his parents.

It was a shackle that could not be broken.

My father was an easy-going man.

The mother is a slightly short-tempered person.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been beaten a lot.

I don't remember how many times I stood under the scorching sun.

Mother is like the Buddha, and she is the Monkey King who can't break free from the palm of her hand.

Wrapped in family affection, in the pain that cannot be seen or touched.

Desperately struggling.

But it doesn't matter what lies ahead, or what is back.

It's pitch black.

I can't see even the slightest bit of light.

She's dead.

No worries.

His own property is enough for the second elder to enjoy his old age in peace.

Without a husband and children, her parents are her first in line to the throne.

My brother is not a stubborn character.

She is not worried about the future of the second elder.

Of course, her parents also gave her a lot of love.

Everything is just Ying Lili's own problem.

She knew that.

But he is still stuck in the dilemma he has created and can't get out.

In fact......

It's good in this world.

Alone.

Perhaps many people can't bear this loneliness.

But she enjoyed it.

Night is slowly falling.

The palace was soon brightly lit.

The space is illuminated by warm light, and the snow color is also dyed with other colors.

"Happy New Year!"

She looked ahead, greeting her friends and relatives in a distant time and space.

"I'm fine here, don't worry about me."

Yes.

Don't worry about her.

And don't be sad about her death.

Man.

From the moment he was born, he was waiting for death.

She just left a little earlier than many people.

Rong Qingzhang was sad for a moment.

Maybe.

The mother concubine is also alive in another world.

She is like a little chestnut, will she miss him on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve?

After being sad, the shackles on my heart seem to be loosened.

Then it exploded and finally dissipated.

"Little chestnut!"

Ying Lili turned around and saw a young man wearing a snow-white fox fur.

Another year older, the boy seems to have grown a little taller.

The eyebrows and eyes are still exquisite.

The temperament is still luxurious.

"Your Highness, it's time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

Ying Li's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

She is not alone in this world.

At least there are Seven Highnesses by his side.

Rong Qingzhang stretched out his hand to her.

Ying Lili hesitated for a moment and held it.

"You're not well, it's freezing, pay attention."

Rong Qingzhang took her and went to the side hall along the corridor.

"I made lotus leaf chicken, it tastes good, and the lotus leaves are picked in the lotus pond in our back garden in the summer."

"And His Highness's favorite braised pork."

"The dessert after the meal is wine-stuffed meatballs, which are rich in aroma, sweet, and can be sweet to the heart."

Rong Qingzhang didn't speak, just listened to her chatter quietly.

In previous years, Chinese New Year's Eve was very deserted.

When the mother concubine was alive, the two did not communicate almost the whole time.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was gone.

Later, the mother concubine died, and he was left alone on Chinese New Year's Eve.

This year, there are small chestnuts to accompany me.

I didn't even see the meal, but I felt very happy.

Go to the corner ahead.

He looked back at a window in the hall in front of him.

Quickly retract your gaze.

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve in the future, he wanted to be with Little Chestnut.

The palms of the hands are slightly clenched.

Ying Lili sensed this force and didn't care.

Maybe it was because he thought of Yu Guifei that made this kid feel uncomfortable.

Rong Qingzhang: "......"

Child?

Not necessarily.

As far as her heart is concerned, her own "child" can play with her.

Who exactly is the child.

**

Longyuan Palace.

Emperor Longhui is enjoying a family banquet with the children of the concubine.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian are in the top position on the left and right.

Several princes sat behind the concubines.

The emperor is still there, and these concubines are their concubines.

Since the death of Concubine Zheng, the palace has become quiet.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian take care of the harem together.

Concubine Xian rarely takes care of things.

Concubine De will not have nothing to toss the concubine.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is rare for a harmonious atmosphere.

The concubines who have children chatted with Emperor Longhui.

The new concubines who entered the palace each brought their talents and tried to get the favor of His Majesty.

After all, Emperor Longhui rarely stayed in the harem.

If I miss this time, I'm afraid I will have to wait another year.

There were less than twenty new concubines who entered the palace last year.

There were only three or five of them.

For the rest, tonight is the first time I've seen the emperor.

saw that he was wearing a Xuanjin dragon robe in civilian clothes, a jade crown and tied his hair, his eyebrows were clear, and he was handsome and extraordinary.

Although the age is enough for some little concubines to be fathers.

But when I saw him, I was still blushing and my heart was beating so hard that I couldn't help myself.

If it is known by Ying Lili.

She would say it's normal.

In modern society, middle-aged men who are handsome, rich and have status are the most popular.

The little girls all call this kind of person an uncle.

Emperor Longhui is the emperor and has a very high appearance.

It's no surprise to be adored.

The little girl had a few to resist.

"After the Shangyuan Festival, you two will leave the palace."

The two palaces have been repaired, and the eldest and second should also open another house.

As for the title, after the opening of the eighth day of the first month, a holy decree will be issued.

"The third year is also coming, and we will talk about it on the Yuan Festival next year."

The three princes stood up and thanked him.

And then.

Emperor Longhui saw the excited little six.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're still early." ”

Rong Qinghuan was deflated.

"Father, can't the sons and daughters open the mansion earlier?"

He really wanted to live his life behind closed doors.

In this way, you can go out of the house to play at will in the future.

Instead of every time you want to go out of the palace, you have to ask your mother for a token.

Concubine Xian raised her hand to cover her forehead, she didn't want to say anything.

This son can be regarded as a waste.

"If you feel bored in the palace, you can go to the mansion of the two royal brothers to live."

Emperor Longhui didn't want to detain Xiaoliu either.

This child has an unrestrained personality and is grounded by Concubine Xian at every turn.

It's hard for him, too.

"Thank you, Father."

Rong Qinghuan raised his hand and poked Rong Qingxuan in front.

"Big brother, second brother, when the time comes, you will leave a yard for my younger brother in the mansion."

The two princes didn't want to deal with him, but they had to nod perfunctorily.

It's so thick-skinned.

**

After a long time, the family banquet ended and the excitement dissipated.

Emperor Longhui took Wei Heng for a walk in the palace.

Walk somewhere and see the palace ahead.

"Check it out."

Wei Heng looked up and bowed to follow.

In front is the Guanju Palace.

"Don't say anything."

Emperor Longhui admonished.

Wei Heng understood and sent the little apprentice to say hello first.
