The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 218. New Year's Eve

Even though the New Year’s atmosphere has swept across the entire capital of the Dajin Dynasty, the palace is unexpectedly lifeless, even worse than usual. His Royal Highness the prince was originally badly injured since the last time he was incapable of medicine and stone, but because of the personal diagnosis and treatment of the Jinling sacred hand Xia Xiao, his life was saved, but even if his life was saved, the rest of his life can only be regarded as a useless person. This means that the position of the prince cannot be kept. The queen was ten years old overnight, and she was still standing as the queen, but now she is praying for blessings in the Buddhist hall day and night. To give up the move behind.

As usual, this move of the queen will not be treated in advance, at least the harem has already been messed up. The nobles also hope that they can sit in this position. After all, the mother of a country means the most noble woman in the world. But now, no one cares about it, just because the emperor is angry because of Xuanhua. The fifth prince was beheaded for the purpose of murdering the prince. The newly promoted concubines, Jiang Dan was killed by the rod, and Wang Lian’er suddenly contracted a bad disease. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the strangeness. Thinking about what must have happened in the harem, who would dare to find bad luck at this knot? No matter how big the temptation is, it is now too daunting. Furthermore, the emperor’s mood is really bad.

It’s just that I watched the sons who were able to win the prince and threw them away from the princes who were not optimistic. Xuanhua’s sudden fall from the horse had no small impact on the previous dynasty. The courtiers had already secretly, no, it should be said that Mingli was divided into two factions. One faction supported Xuanli, and the other faction that suddenly emerged was Xuanpei’s supporters. Among them, the former subordinates who added Xuanhua were actually with Xuanhua. Inseparable from the top and bottom, and even faintly catching up.

But no matter what, the New Year’s Eve is still going to be celebrated, but it’s not so lively, it’s really a bit bleak.

In Ci Ning Palace, the Queen Mother Yide looked at the list in her hand, nodded, and slowly said: “Just follow the instructions above, and add another agarwood and red jade Ruyi.”

Aunt Yang bowed her head and said yes, and after handing over the order to the palace maid to one side, she walked around behind the Queen Mother Yi De, and carefully pounded her on her shoulders, saying: “The Queen Mother will give a New Year gift to Jinying Palace. If you teach someone to see …” All these years of gifts have been sent to the Jinying Palace. In the past few years, since knowing Xiao Shao’s life, the Queen Mother Yide has always adhered to the idea of protecting Xiao Shao, except for secretly caring about these things that are suspicious. Never did it, but now it is the first time that people give gifts to Jinying Palace for the first time in New Year’s fanfare.

“You think those people don’t know if you don’t give it away?” The Queen Mother Yide glanced at Aunt Yang with a smile, and said: “The Aijia has already wanted to do this for so many years. She cringed and now she doesn’t do it anymore. I’m afraid I won’t have this chance in the future.”

This is euphemistic, but it also contains a shocking meaning in it. Aunt Yang was taken aback, she couldn’t take care of anything anymore, she hurried past the Queen Mother Yide, knelt down in front of her, and said, “Mother, don’t want to say that.”

“Nothing.” The Queen Mother Yi De waved her hand. At this moment, there was no one else in the hall. The eyelids of the Queen Mother Yi De seemed to be slightly closed, but her voice was clear: “The sky is going to change. Mother, the Aijia has lived with you for most of my life. I have never seen anything before, and I will be blinded by the limelight.” She sighed long: “It’s just that the Aijia still has a lot of wishes that have not been fulfilled. I thought, Time is still long, I don’t want to blink, most of my life will pass.”

Aunt Yang lowered her head and listened quietly, just listening to the Queen Mother Yide: “Is there any improvement in the emperor’s body?”

“Listening to Li Gonggong’s words, it seems to be aggravated.” Aunt Yang was embarrassed. No one knew about the emperor’s serious illness except for a few cronies and the empress dowager Yide. In these days, everyone in the palace thought that the emperor was particularly gloomy because of Xuanhua’s affairs, and even the palace rarely appeared. In fact, it was because the emperor’s body had become more and more decayed, and illness came like a mountain and fell sick like a thread. Even the prince of a country would not be exempt from vulgar complaints in the face of time. Now that Xuanhua died, the court was in turmoil. The news of the emperor’s serious illness spread out, so I don’t know how much damage it would cause, so I had to conceal the news.

“It’s all fate.” The Queen Mother Yide couldn’t hear the joy and anger, and only said: “Sooner or later the new prince will stand, and the monsters and ghosts underneath will also start to move.”

Aunt Yang has been with the Queen Mother Yide for many years, and the Queen Mother Yide does not shy away from her for many things. There is almost no secret between the master and servant. After hearing this, Aunt Yang said: “The empress dowager wants to go to the court?”

If the emperor’s illness has been dragged on like this, he can’t help it. There are so many pairs of eyes in the palace staring at him, and many of them are shrewd. The Queen Mother Yi De acted vigorously and resolutely when she was young, and it was not that she had never listened to politics without hanging the curtain. It was only after the Dajin Dynasty gradually stabilized that the emperor’s position began to fade out of the central vision, and now if it is really that point, it is understandable that the Queen Mother Yide will come out to control the government.

“What does the Ai family do in the court?” The smile on the lips of the Empress Dowager Yide was a little bit cold, and the silver thread was full of cold light against the gleam of the golden hairpin. She played with her ruby armor and said, “If you don’t muddle this pool of water, how can you catch it? The Aijia also wants to see who is coveting the world.” She slowly lowered her head. : “Thinking that Ai’s family is trapped in the harem, there is nothing to do. It really is a clown.”

Aunt Yang tentatively said: “But what your majesty meant is that you want to…”

“The Ai family originally thought that this position was prepared for him. The Jiangshan of the Dajin dynasty was well-accepted. But now it seems that he is unintentional in this position. He has the same temper with his dad, even more than his dad. To be stubborn, the Aijia can’t help him. No, the Aijia is scared.” The older stern woman rarely showed a tired look. This woman looked at the beauty of the beauty and worked vigorously, but her husband was early. Suspicion, the mother’s family collapsed, the middle-aged child lost her daughter again, some of the pain can never be for outsiders, even if the concealment is good, only oneself knows the inner pain. She thought that she owed Prince Hong Xi, so naturally she wouldn’t embarrass her son. She had to say that Prince Hong Xi ended up in the final outcome, which was also due to her. If you don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, you can only regress. She sighed deeply: “The emperor wants to let his own temper, but the emperor in the world has nothing to do. Both the Ai family and the emperor owe him. No matter what the emperor thinks, the Ai family wants to help him.”

“But if he doesn’t want it,” Aunt Yang was a little bit awkward, and cautiously tentatively asked: “According to the empress dowager, who should I help?” This country is always the country of the Xuan family. If that person does not pick up, Xuanli Xuanpei and Xuanpei always have one to be the crown prince of the future Dajin Dynasty. The Queen Mother Yide did not show much enthusiasm for the two grandsons, but the attitude of the Queen Mother Yide was indeed very important.

“Wanniang, don’t you understand?” The Queen Mother Yide smiled, but the smile fell in Aunt Yang’s eyes a little weird, she said: “The Aijia has been slow to make an attitude, just to watch the actions of the two. The country of the Dajin Dynasty is always the country of the Xuan family. But now in this country, there are people with foreign surnames who want to get a share of the pie. The stage has been set up, and the Ai family also wants to see this play, Who is the singer?”

Aunt Yang shook her body and instinctively raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother Yide. I saw that this old woman who had experienced the ups and downs of the Dajin Dynasty and witnessed the country and the people’s peace from the wind and rain to the present, there was a sharp light in the eyes of the old woman who was already self-cultivation and self-cultivation. It was an instant to return to those days of golden horses and iron horses, as if Huafa has not yet born, and the young man is not yet late, the sword is out of its sheath, and it is fierce and fierce.

The fireworks on New Year’s Eve came faintly from the outside, and it should be the concubine and children in the harem to invite a lively prize. After all, the news of the emperor’s serious illness is unknown, and he thought it was because the emperor was in a bad mood that he didn’t make the New Year’s Eve banquet. When these women were lonely, they could only make fun of themselves. The Queen Mother Yide closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep on the soft couch. Aunt Yang gently took a blanket on one side and carefully covered the Queen Mother Yide, and cut the lanterns in the candlestick, and then quietly exited the bedroom.

This day, Jinying Palace was extremely lively.

Jiang Ruan took Xiao Shao back to the general’s house to visit Zhao Guang’s family only a few days ago. Although the Zhao family’s man abducted his daughter without saying a word to Xiao Shao, the Zhao family’s woman was very satisfied with Xiao Shao. Just because Xiao Shao looks good, although his temperament is cool and stable, and there is not even a common room around him, this is the most satisfactory to the Zhao family. If there is anything wrong, it means that the reputation is a little worse. It can be seen that Xiao Shao has taken care of Jiang Ruan carefully, and he also feels that this is not important.

Although Xiao Shao was indifferent on the face, he was also thorough in etiquette. He couldn’t make any mistakes in teaching people. In addition, Jiang Xinzhi and Jiang Ruan were used to being humans, and they dealt with each other, which also untied the Zhao family’s heart knot. Seen as Xiao Shao as a righteous son-in-law. Today was New Year’s Eve, and he was going to spend his time at Jinying Palace. Jiang Ruan originally thought it was spent by two people, because Xiao Shao had no other relatives. Unexpectedly, there are no relatives, but the brothers have come.

Guan Lianghan naturally accompanied his parents, but Mo Cong, Xia Qing and Qi Feng came uninvited. Recently, Mo Cong was forced to talk about marriage by his family, but he escaped on New Year’s Eve. After thinking about it, there was probably no place to hide, and the one who was familiar with it went to the door of the palace.

Xiao Shao wouldn’t say anything, Jiang Ruan wouldn’t drive people out, but Steward Lin felt good. The more people there were, it seemed that the palace was more popular and prosperous. When he was happy to hide from Jiang Ruan, he quietly served the New Year’s Eve dinner. I added a few precious dishes to the restaurant, and I actually took my own private money. However, the private money in the hands of the servants of the palace has always been ample, and as a housekeeper, he would not take these money in his eyes. It’s just that after Mo Cong came, he saw the food and exaggeratedly shouted, “I think the food in the Imperial Dining Room is nothing more than that. Third Brother, you are too arrogant and extravagant!”

“It’s extravagant!” Xia Qing nodded in agreement and stuffed vegetables into his mouth desperately.

Mo Cong glanced at him and said in disgust: “Pay attention to your taste. At any rate, you are also from a teacher. You are also a celebrity. How can you eat like a countryman?”

“What do you know?” Xia Qing has an unfettered temperament, frowning and saying: “The best thing for all the people in the world is to belong to the heart. What do you care about all those complicated things? It’s all vain!”

“That’s naturally–” Mo Cong looked at him with a smile, and Xia Qing didn’t want to talk about it. He deliberately prolonged his voice and shook his head and said: “I heard that the eldest lady from the Lin Changshi family is a nerd. The scholarly family is the most respectful of rules and etiquette.”

“You, you nonsense.” Xia Qing was taken aback, with a guilty conscience: “Miss Lin is not such a pedantic person.”

“Oh, if you don’t believe me, it’s okay. The people in our Beijingzhong circle know exactly what kind of temper Miss Chu Lin is. If you don’t believe me, okay, tomorrow I will ask my third sister to mention you when I see Miss Lin. , Saying that you are not confined to the etiquette of foreign objects, and you pay attention to freedom when you eat. The most free and easy way is…”

Half of the crystal shrimp dumpling in Xia Qing’s mouth thumped and fell, and in desperation he had to ask Xiao Shao for help: “Brother San…”

Qi Feng stuffed a bun into his mouth and said with a smile, “What a fool.”

Dewdrop was making a snowman outside, Forsythia crouched on the ground to set off fireworks, Tianzhu held her shoulders and looked at both of her. At first, I thought these scornful things from women’s houses are not so disdainful in my eyes now, and the corners of Tianzhu’s mouth are slightly upturned. The snowmen of dewdrops are piled up in a mess, barely able to see the shape of the person, but the head is bigger than the belly. While mumbling to take a break, Jin Er on one side walked over, chuckled and laughed: “Oh, why don’t you play by yourself?”

“What’s your business?” Dewdrop seemed to start a firecracker when she saw Jin Er, especially when she heard that Jin Er had been running to the fireworks field recently during missions, she was a little suspicious at first, but then she saw Jin Er coaxing him. One of the leading sisters in the brothel, who is a veteran of the love scene, looked at the dewdrops with anger and sadness, and simply ignored them these days.

Jin Er touched his nose, really didn’t know where he was annoying the grandmother. Seeing Dewdrop finished speaking, he really ignored him. The self-contained snowman suddenly felt a little guilty and thought about it. Thinking, he also squatted down beside Dewzhu, wanting to help her pile it up. The dewdrop did not ridicule him as before, just lowered his head and silently piled up the snow. Jin Er felt a little strange, suddenly felt his hand hot, he froze for a moment, and saw that there was a drop on the back of his hand. The crystal clear dewdrops, he suddenly noticed something, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Dewdrop’s shoulders and pulled her toward him. Really, Dewdrop’s shoulders shrugged, he stretched out his hand and lifted the dewdrop’s chin, and he saw a pear blossom with rain. Little face, so pitiful.

“What’s wrong with you?” Jin Er was a little panicked, hurriedly wiped the tears for Dewdrop with his sleeve, and said: “I was wrong, hey, don’t cry, if I make you angry, or you beat me a few times , Shall I vent your anger?”

Jin Er is used to coaxing women. On weekdays, when she sees a woman crying, she teaches people what she can say and laughs, but when facing the crying dewdrop, she feels a little at a loss and doesn’t know what to say.

Dewdrop cried even more sad when she heard the words, crying as she cried, “What are you doing to coax me? What are you doing to provoke me? Find your sweetheart and stay away from me.”

Jin Er was startled, not knowing what the sweetheart in Luzhu’s mouth meant. What was more anxious in front of him was how Luzhu could stop crying, and said anxiously: “When did I provoke you? Why did the good-natured become mine again? Don’t cry, I don’t know what to do if you cry.”

Dewdrop ignored him, turned her head and left. She was born out of the market with a straightforward temper. She was not as coy as other women. She was innocent and a little proud. She cried while crying: “If you provoke this and provoke that, she really isn’t a good person. , Deng disciple! Master Huahua!”

Jin Er finally heard something, and hurriedly followed, while trying to wipe her tears: “You make it clear, who did I provoke? How come I have become Young Master Huahua again? I haven’t married a wife yet, so it’s broken for nothing. Be responsible for my reputation.”

Dewdrop glared at him, still with tears, and said fiercely: “The leading sister of Fengjiaolou, you dare not provoke me.” Seeing Jin Erfa’s stunned appearance, Dewdrop stomped again, turned his head and ran away. Jin Er was stunned for a moment, until Tian Zhu on one side said coolly: “If you don’t chase, people will go to provoke the top brother of Xiaozhiguan.”

Seeing Jin Er running out of the back, Forsythia was overwhelmed with joy, but she forgot that she still had fireworks in her hand, but she didn’t want to be held by someone violently and pulled aside. The fireworks flew up into the sky before she returned. God, looking at the participating ashes on the ground, I was a little afraid, and the man whispered in his ears: “Be careful.”

When Forsythia looked up, Ye Feng was also looking at her. The two looked at each other, and they all felt shocked. Forsythia hurriedly withdrew his hand, Ye Feng also coughed lightly, and went to see the fireworks in the sky as if nothing had happened. Butler Lin was walking by carrying a lantern and just saw this scene. There was another burst of tears. He put his hands together and closed his eyes and prayed: “There are eyes in the sky, and finally I can protect the prosperity of Jinying Palace.”

“I don’t know when this old peach blossom will bloom?” Jin Si jumped off the wall with a grass root in his mouth, and laughed at Steward Lin with a smile.

The old steward Lin blushed and said, “What does the little girl know about in the film? When the old lady was glamorous in the capital, how many girls threw sachets of flowers, it was also a red sleeve trick…”

“Aye.” Jin San sneezed, and after pulling Jin Si, he walked out: “How come the really old stories are still here, what’s the story of the bad old man?”

“Who is a bad old man!” Manager Lin jumped into a rage: “The old man is a handsome man, a handsome man!”

On New Year’s Eve, individuals have their own way of living, some people live it warmly, and some people live it coldly. For example, at the Palace of the Eight Princes, although it is also singing and dancing, and good wine and food, it seems to owe something. The man on the main seat had a gentle smile on his mouth, as if a spring breeze, holding a white jade cup in his hand, smiled and clinked with the opposite person.

The person on the other side was also dressed in gray, with a long drapery covering almost half of his face. It was not someone else but Yuanchuan. He drank the wine in his hand and sighed: “The wine of the Dajin Dynasty is really mellow, and your Royal Highness’s mansion is especially mellow.”

“It’s just something outside of the body,” Xuan Li smiled slightly, sincerely, as if he was facing his acquaintance since childhood: “If you like it, I would like to share this thing with you.” This thing refers to more than just the front. The wine, just the meaning of the words requires the two to speculate on their own.

Yuan Chuan put down the wine glass in his hand, his red lips hooked, and said, “Speaking of which, now that His Royal Highness is absent, the prince is embarrassed by the great cause, and the great cause of changing the prince is imminent. The great cause of His Highness is close at hand. Congratulations and congratulations.” After that, he arched his hands and made a courtesy of Jinchao.

Xuan Li looked at him quietly, did not stop him, but did not respond, his smile remained unchanged, as if this was not something worth mentioning.

Yuan Chuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. This young man was not stupid, at least his endurance should not be underestimated. Hearing this, there was no trace of glamour or worry on his face, and he seemed to know that he had something to say next. You don’t have to hide when dealing with smart people, so Yuanchuan didn’t plan to hide it, so he smiled and said, “It’s just that Yuanchuan thinks that His Highness still has some troubles.”

Xuanli smiled without saying a word, Yuan Chuan said: “Rong Yuanchuan is bold, the country of the Dajin Dynasty is nothing wrong with your Highness, but now there are thirteen princes in addition to His Royal Highness. There are dragons and phoenixes in His Highness, and they are talented. This is an impeccable thing. Even if the thirteen princes come from behind, they can’t be afraid of just relying on new forces to keep up, but…” He paused, and his tone was a little regretful: “It just happened to keep up with one. Jinying Palace.”

The invisible movement of Xuanli’s fingers was caught by Yuan Chuan even the small movements. He curled his lips and smiled: “The Jinying Palace has reached 300,000 military power, and the unshakable foundation of it is even more unfathomable. , There is a saying-it may not be unreasonable that those who win the Jinwei win the world.”

Xuanli sighed, and a touch of embarrassment was just right on her face: “I tried to befriend Xiao Shao, King Jinying, but unfortunately it is hard to move. I don’t know how the thirteenth brother got his blue eyes, but he was secretly protecting him. , Maybe it’s God’s will.”

“His Royal Highness is wrong.” Yuan Chuan said with a mysterious smile: “There is no God’s will in the world, and the secrets in it cannot be changed overnight. This world should be His Royal Highness. In fact, it is not thirteen. His Royal Highness got the eyes of King Jinying, but His Highness Thirteen got the eyes of Princess Jinying.”

“Won Chuan can help me solve my doubts?” Xuan Li asked with a smile.

Yuan Chuan lowered his head and respectfully said: “This is nature. The court was in chaos, and the thirteen princes were well protected. Jinying Palace is more like a copper wall and iron wall. The only exit is Princess Jinying.”

“Oh?” Xuanli smiled deeper.

“Women, take your heart first.” Yuan Chuan also smiled.
