The New Year's bell rings from the Bauhinia Mountain in the distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The melodious and desolate horn resounded throughout Chang'an, and in an instant, the fireworks that broke through the sky lit up the night of the imperial capital, and people cheered, beating gongs and drums, rejoicing in the belated fifteenth year of the apocalypse.

This year, Liu Chen was twenty-one years old!

"Mother, Happy New Year!" The smiling Liu Chen took out a pearl the size of a baby's fist from his arms, and strung the pearls together with the best amethyst, and under the light of the candlelight, no one could see the slightest flaw on the pearl...... This was given to him by Hao Infinity, during the Battle of Haimen, he got a lot of such treasures.

"Thank you, Yi'er!" Such a big pearl, even if it is as noble as Ji Wanzhu, it is the first time in this life to see it, Yue Guogong is a woman, as long as it is a woman, who doesn't love these jewels, not to mention that this pearl necklace is also filled with a layer of vast Yuan power, don't think about it, she also knows that this is brought out by Liu Chen from the Panlong Tower......

Ji Wanzhu was overjoyed, she took the string of pearls from Liu Chen's hand, she couldn't wait to play with it in her hand, from beginning to end, her bright and moving smile has not been reduced in the slightest, even with her heart, there is a burst of warmth.

"Grand Duke, Lord, the sobering tea is ready!"

The door was pushed open, Xinyue walked in with a steaming tea soup, just put the tea cup on the small table beside Liu Chen, before she had time to leave, the girl's eyes were attracted by the rare pearl in Ji Wanzhu's hand, and she lit the stove, and the pearl constantly emitted a trace of warm fluorescence, which made Xinyue stand stunned on the spot...... Everyone has a love for beauty, and no one is exempt from vulgarity......

"Happy New Year, Xinyue!"

The girl's envy was naturally seen by Liu Chen, and for this favorite girl of his own mother-in-law, Liu Chen was not stingy, and directly took out a slightly smaller pearl necklace from the Sumeru ring and handed it over leisurely.

"Give it to me?" Xin Yue was startled at first, and when she saw Liu Chen nodding her head, her surprise suddenly turned into a surprise, and her good literacy made her jump up without direct joy, and took the necklace excitedly, the girl even spoke a little incoherently, "Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Wang...... I also wish the prince a happy new year!"

"Hehe" waited until the girl ran out of the room satisfied, Liu Chen took out a palm-sized red jade from the ring and said: "Extreme Star Jade, I only got such a small piece, ask my mother to give it to my aunt, on weekdays, it's quite good to calm my mind and nourish my heart!"

"Yi'er has a heart, thank you for your aunt for my mother!"

"Don't mind......

......

When Liu Chen returned to the General's Mansion, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the mother and son talked for a night, reminiscing about the past, talking about the future, and the mother and son were filial piety, which made the atmosphere of the entire Yueguo Mansion become warm.

On the first day of the new year, it is also the first year after Liu Chen opened the mansion alone, early in the morning, there was a water horse in front of the general's mansion, not only the general's mansion, but the entire Wuyi Alley has become the most lively place in Chang'an City.

After Liu Chen finished washing, he just came to the flower hall, and saw his third uncle Liu Shayun sitting on the edge of the fire, smiling and sipping tea, while talking and laughing with the two hostesses of the General's Mansion......

"The third uncle is here, happy New Year!"

Facing Liu Shayun, Liu Chen was very casual, moved a chair and sat beside him with a big grin, and didn't care about Beigong Fu complaining about his rudeness, took the teacup handed by Xu Yuyao, and said lightly with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to visit the third uncle and uncle after the rebellion, but I didn't expect the third uncle to come by himself!"

"Hehe, it's too noisy at home, the third uncle came to your side to ask for a quiet ......"

"What's the matter, that little doll of Uncle Jiu's house is crying again?" Liu Chen also found out when he returned to Beijing, Uncle Liu Zhi gave birth to a girl half a year ago, a test of talent, hey, eight-grade talent, now it's okay, including the uncle, the family is very baby, even with the mother and daughter, Liu Chen's ninth aunt was also given a title by the uncle, and a large manor was rewarded in the Tibetan Soldier Valley!

"Let's quarrel, it's mainly because I came to the imperial capital for the New Year this year, and I can't live in the Cangguo Mansion, you know, your seven aunts and eight aunts are all broken-mouthed, and when they chatter, your uncle has a headache!"

"Tsk, I don't even dare to go over what I said!"

Liu Chen pursed his lips, when he was in Fancheng before, what he was most afraid of was the three aunts and six women in the neighborhood, chattering and chattering, they were about to be annoyed to death, as the saying goes, a woman is equal to three hundred ducks, think about it, what is the equal of a woman in a house? It doesn't matter if you are the Holy Lord or the Grand Duke, as long as they are there, you don't have to worry about the Cangguo Mansion becoming a vegetable market......

"Then or!" In the end, Xu Yuyao held his body and timidly opened his mouth and said: "The third uncle picked up the uncle and sister-in-law, and you came to live in the house for a while?"

"Don't!" Beigong Fu shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Family, don't have an opinion on this little matter!"

"Beigong is right!" Liu Shayun gently put down the teacup, nodded and said: "Your aunts and aunts are very responsible on weekdays, and besides, it is difficult for them to go out, so we can't despise them!"

"Third uncle!" After gossiping for a long time, Liu Chen raised his head with a smile, squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Shayun on the side, and said, "Don't tell me that you came here today to say bad things about our aunts...... That's not your style!"

"Stinky boy, you still talk about cool things during the New Year!" pretended to glared at Liu Chen angrily, causing the second girl next to him to cover her mouth and snicker, and after a moment of silence, Liu Shaoyun shook his head and said: "Last night, you followed Xue Dadu Governor to the front camp to eat wine, and Your Majesty talked about some things intentionally or unintentionally......"

"What's the matter?" Liu Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a puzzled face: "I have to wait until I leave to say, the emperor is too uninteresting!"

"Don't think about it!" Liu Shaoyun smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Chen's shoulder and said, "He also felt it...... You also know that his health is not very good, and the medicine king also said that I am afraid that there are not many days left!"

“......”

"The health is not good, and it is a little powerless to deal with political affairs, in the past, the prince could still share one or two for him, but now there are some troubles, he asked us, do you want to set up a regent, to help him deal with state affairs, and after a hundred years, the regent will inherit the throne, but it also saves a lot of trouble!"

"Did he mention who should be the regent?"

"A few princes are really useless, and some of them are too small, Your Majesty means to let the Rose Emperor be the regent......"

Liu Chen was silent, and his eyebrows gradually became a Sichuan character......

"Of course he has the conditions...... When the emperor is old in the future, she must pass this throne to the descendants of the Gongsun family, and it doesn't matter if she marries in the future or not, in short, her husband's family can't be in politics, and her children can't inherit the throne!"

"Alas!" Beigong Fu also shook his head immediately, and said with a wry smile: "Yesterday, when I was drinking with the ladies in the harem, those noble concubines also kept saying words to test us, and a good Shangyuan banquet turned into a big drama of the inner palace battle......"
