Chinese New Year's Eve
Feng Nanyin had just arrived at the princess's mansion with her front foot, and her holy decree to eliminate bandits was sent to the Guogong Mansion with her hind feet, and Feng Zhengtang and the little eunuch who sent the decree repeatedly confirmed it many times before believing that it was Feng Nanyin herself who asked to lead the troops.
It was rare that there was no snow at night near the end of the year, and Feng Nanyin locked herself in the study for several days before she was willing to go out to breathe. The muddy wind blowing on her face still hurts a little, she breathes hot air to warm her hands, this is the first time she has been reborn in Dingdu for the New Year, she has never asked for anything beautiful, she never dares to ask for too much before everything is settled, she just hopes that everything can end quickly.
She folded her hands and prayed to the full moon: "Morning and twilight are safe, ghosts, snakes, and gods are not close." ”
"You're not greedy, but you're greedy."
"The prince is really extraordinary, and even his hobbies are extraordinary." Feng Nanyin gathered her cloak and walked to the stone pier under the tree and sat down. Xiao Muyun smiled and didn't take her ridicule to heart, but sat beside them with a cheeky face, and continued: "Everyone asks for rich and noble marriage, but you just want peace." ”
"Isn't peace good? Although it is not a prosperous era now, it will not be chaotic and war-torn and the people will be displaced. But there are always people in this world who are not satisfied with what they have, and always want to get things that do not belong to them, which disturbs the peace and ruins the prosperous world. ”
Xiao Muyun re-examined the woman in front of him, he used to think that this girl had the same flesh and blood as him, but now it seems that she is not necessarily much holier than him, she is more unstained than anyone else, even if she is in the gutter, she is always dazzling.
"Feng family girl, there will be one day in the future as you wish."
Feng Nan was silent, his eyes were stunned and he looked at the bright moon in the ink, yes.
As the days passed, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the night was approaching, firecrackers were heard, and fireworks were bursting over the streets. The flow of people watching the lantern festival is bustling and trafficful. Bright street lamps and stars in the sky dazzle the entire street.
Inside the palace, the tall and majestic hall is brilliantly lit. The flute and drum are boiling, and the sheng songs are repeated, like the pearl palace and the star market of the heavenly palace. As Yuan Qingge said, this year's banquet was held in the Suzaku Palace, and many ministers came with their families, and everyone staggered and blessed each other.
The banquet was so unhappy, after Emperor Yan Chen said a few words, everyone was casual, saying that it was casual, but who could really be casual and unruly.
Feng Nanyin tried not to notice that she was sitting there quietly eating and drinking, such a good banquet can only be this once a year, it is very precious, she has to hurry up to fill her stomach, and eat something that is particularly palatable and let Yinhuan and Fubao secretly add more. I thought that such caution would not be seen, but it still caught the eye.
The concubine beside the emperor looked at Feng Nanyin's appearance and suddenly felt disdainful in her heart, although they had only met a few times, but she really hated Feng Nanyin, if it weren't for her three princes and Feng Nanyao's reluctance, she wouldn't have been discovered by others, now that Feng Nanyao is dead, although a scapegoat has been found, but this matter has had a lot of impact on them. Even with her is not as favored as before, thinking that the emperor has not been to her palace for more than a month, he is angry, and his hands are vigorously stirring the handkerchief under the table.
"Float the water, go and help Her Royal Highness the princess get more food."
The main hall, which was still bustling, suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes looked at Feng Nanyin's seat. At this time, Feng Nanyin had just put a piece of hibiscus cake in her mouth, and before she could swallow it, she heard someone mention her.
Who should she be, she is really ugly and weird, and she has to be a moth at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Feng Nanyin said perfunctorily: "How dare you work on the people around Concubine Shu, Yinhuan." ”
Yinhuan stepped forward and saluted, raised his hand to tie the pastry in the floating hand, and put it in the outermost corner of the table, and a turning leg accidentally hit the corner of the table, and the pastry plate that had not been placed spilled and fell to the ground.
"The princess atons for her sins, and the slave and maid are never intended."
Feng Nanyin waved her hand pretendedly, "You stupid thing that ascended to heaven, you actually lost face on such an important occasion as the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and you also dirty the things sent by the mother, if the mother blames it, you can have good fruit to eat......" Without waiting for Concubine Shu to speak, she heard Feng Nanyin continue: "I have always heard that Concubine Shu is the most gentle, and I don't want to blame you, you don't want to thank Niangniang quickly." ”
"Slave and maid Xie Niangniang's grace of not killing, Xie Niangniang's grace of not killing."
This is to slap Concubine Shu's face, who doesn't know that a few days ago, Concubine Shu killed a newly arrived little palace maid at random because Emperor Yan Chen did not spend the night in her palace, and now Feng Nanyin said this is equivalent to roasting Concubine Shu on the fire.
Concubine Shu's face was red and white for a while, and at this time, she didn't say it or not, so she could only find an excuse to retreat.
After the vignette, the hall began to be lively again, during this period, many uncles who were friends with the Feng family came to greet each other, and they couldn't help but give a few more instructions, and Feng Nanyin accepted them humbly.
The palace banquet was not over yet, but Feng Nanyin left the palace early and rode the carriage all the way to the west.
The pedestrians on the street have receded and are all going home for Chinese New Year's Eve. The less popular street market is left with only horizontal and vertical lanterns, which is a bit bleak when you look at it.
Yinhuan and Fubao sat in the carriage together, and they still followed them on this trip.
"Are you ready?"
Fu Bao replied: "Everything has been prepared, and Nanchuan will follow us in the carriage with it."
Feng Nanyin said "um" and continued to close his eyes.
Outside the camp in the western suburbs, the soldiers on duty saw the approaching carriage and stopped it, "Who is coming, the military camp in front, retreat quickly." ”
Yinhuan poked his head out, holding Feng Nanyin's princess jade pendant, "I am Princess Anli, and I specially came to comfort the sergeant!" ”
The soldiers were shocked, they had received the holy order to send troops early, and naturally they also knew Feng Nanyin, they didn't dare to stop and hurriedly moved the barricades, "Welcome Princess Anli." ”
When Feng Nanyin came, the soldiers in the army were preparing a bonfire, and the leader was Feng Nanjin's deputy general Li Kuan, who had previously taken Feng Nanyin back to Dingdu, Li Kuan introduced Feng Nanyin to Feng Nanyin little by little in front: "Miss, you carefully step down, you happened to be in a hurry, and now the soldiers in the army are preparing bonfires and wine and meat, this is the custom of our Feng family army has always come, one is to make the brothers who can't return home in the New Year lively, and the other is to pay tribute to the souls of those dead brothers and pray for less war in the new year." He is considered the son of the Feng family, and he has been sent to the army for training since he was a child, so he also called Feng Nanyin as the eldest lady in the house.
Feng Nanyin listened carefully, "When I came, I had people prepare some food and wine, which just came in handy, you can find a few brothers to go outside and get it." ”
Li Kuan grinned: "Thank you, Miss, I thank you on behalf of the brothers." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked a few soldiers behind him to follow Fu Bao to carry things.
Feng Jiajun, who received the news, was ready to go early and waited for Feng Nanyin. The flames in the brazier made a "crackling" sound, the north wind was howling, and Feng Nanyin stood on the high platform and looked down at the soldiers below.
The cold wind wrapped her voice into everyone's ears: "The soldiers of the Feng Family Army! Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a day of family reunion, everyone gathered here because of the common purpose to protect the family and defend the country, can not be reunited with the family, I Feng Nanyin admires you. When we first met, I brought wine, food, and I will spend the festive season with you tonight! ”
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”
The shouts of the soldiers came and went, far overshadowing the sound of the cold wind whistling, and most of Feng Nanyin's face was hidden in the darkness. She knows better than anyone that having no strength in the army is the same as not having majesty, and only the veterans who have established their prestige can really be used by her, and if one day they really need to meet each other, her chances of victory can be more guaranteed.
