Chapter 860 Do New Year Picture Dolls Know? Does It Look Good? (Twenty Two)

Now that the overall situation in the DPRK and China has stabilized, with the disintegration of the last force of the Iron Triangle, there is nothing that can threaten Feng Mo Han Long Zuo.

The atmosphere of the entire court began to turn peaceful.

Mohan also started to get used to the affairs of the court. The Nanling King, who was busy all day long, was finally able to relax.

Every day, apart from going to court in the morning and giving a few corrections and pointers when checking the little emperor's government affairs, most of the rest of the time, he stayed with his little wife every day.

In the remaining fraction of the time, two things were being investigated.

The first thing is about Feng Moyun. The Empress Dowager went to question Concubine Liu that day, and as he expected, Concubine Liu shifted the responsibility to Prime Minister Zuo. But Prime Minister Zuo has already fled, so there is no way to testify.

Historically, royal family seizures have been bloody and bloody, with countless deaths. At first glance, Feng Moyun's death seemed to be to seize the sovereignty of the harem, and at the same time aggravate the hatred between him and the empress dowager.

But Feng Qingbai didn't think so. He always felt that something was wrong, as if someone was playing a big game of chess behind their backs, including all of them.

The second thing is Xue Zhong. Xue Zhong's hostility towards him is unusual, and what Cangying Pavilion has done over the years are all stirring up civil strife in various countries. He needs to know what Xue Zhong's purpose is, and what happened in Baicao Valley these years.

Liu Yusheng didn't know what the man was doing, but he only knew that he would occasionally leave for a while to deal with things in the study while accompanying her.

He didn't tell her, and she didn't ask, because he just didn't want to bother her.

"Princess, it's the end of December, and the New Year's Eve is about to come. Is there anything special that needs to be prepared for this year's New Year's Eve?" In the warm pavilion, Zi Su heated up the charcoal fire in the stove.

Liu Yusheng was holding the hand stove, covered with fox fur shoulders, and nestled on the soft couch like a fur ball.

Hearing this, he waved his hands, "How did you prepare in previous years, how about this year."

How did she know this? In previous years, in the Liu family compound, grandma, mother and second aunt prepared every detail during the Chinese New Year. She just waits to eat and play.

Although she is now the head of the house, she is not happy to take care of these things, and she is full of laziness. Liu Yusheng put the blame on the unborn baby in her womb.

It's normal for pregnant women to be lazy.

Chen Xiang had just closed the window tightly, and came over with a smile upon hearing the words, "I heard from the butler that in the past, the prince spent the New Year's Day with the emperor in the palace, and came back after having a family banquet in the palace. People are the most leisurely."

"Then let's go to the palace this year too." The head mistress made a final decision.

The two maids looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the woman's ball-like belly.

Entering the palace this year? It's snowing heavily outside.

Usually, the princess takes a step or two, and the prince is extremely nervous. In this snowstorm, she still wants to run outside?

"Shengsheng wants to go to the palace for the New Year's Eve?" At the door, a Qingyi figure of a man walked in, brushed off the snowflakes from his shoulders, warmed his hands by the stove, and then walked towards the woman.

Lest the cold on her body cool her down.

"Since it has been like this in previous years, there is no need to make an exception this year." Liu Yusheng moved clumsily to make room for him, "Why don't we have a lot of fun in the palace, Xiao Feng'er and the Queen Mother are alone in the palace with no one to accompany us, Isn't it lonely."

With Xiao Feng'er's temperament and the fact that he has always been critical of the Empress Dowager, the two of them might not have a word during the New Year's dinner.

So where is it considered a New Year's meal? I didn't eat lively and festive, but I was full of sulking.

"Both of them are adults, do you still need to worry about them?"

"Two awkward adults are not as good as a little baby."

The woman's unreasonable words made Feng Qingbai laugh, "If you want to go, then go."

With him by his side, it is still possible to go to the palace for a meal.

"It's a pity that I can't go back to Xinghua Village to celebrate the New Year with my family this year. At this time, the family should have started to prepare new year's goods." If she can't go back, her grandparents must miss her very much.

"Don't worry, we won't be able to go back this year, but we will definitely be able to go next year. Besides, there are Zhixia and Zhiqiu at home, so it won't be deserted."

This is true, as long as Xiao Maodou and the second brother are there, the elders will surely be entertained.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, heavy snow fell, and the howling cold wind made harsh noises through the doors and windows, and from time to time, a piece of snow foam would be blown into the door of the warm pavilion.

Encountering the warm indoor air, the snow foam melts into water vapor, which drenches the entrance of the Nuan Pavilion.

On the soft couch, the man hugged the woman in his arms, holding a book of scattered travels in his hand, and read it with her to pass the time, sometimes whispering a few words in a low voice, which made the woman chuckle endlessly.

Seeing the situation, the two maids did not stay in the pavilion to block the eyes, and went to the small room outside to wait for orders.

Princess Nanling is going to celebrate the New Year in the palace, and the news did not take long to reach the ears of everyone in the palace.

After the princes and princes of the royal family get married, the New Year's Day will naturally be celebrated in their own mansion. If there are elders in the palace, just come and ask for auspiciousness at that time.

But the princess was interested in this, the emperor was happy, even the queen mother didn't say a word about it, other concubines naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, after the emperor held a palace banquet to reward his ministers, all the officials also began to take their annual leave. They didn't have to go to the morning court again during the New Year's Eve, and they didn't even have to worry about it.

Apart from government affairs, the little emperor's top priority is to let the servants decorate the palace festively and beautifully. The snow in the white marble palace roads in the palace must be shoveled clean, and there must be no slippery bits.

There are also red lanterns hung on both sides of the palace road, which can illuminate the surroundings brightly when lit at night.

The last is the Spring Festival couplets.

This thing is not hung in the palace.

This year is special.

In the past, Aunt Huang celebrated the New Year in the Liu Family Courtyard, and couplets were pasted everywhere in the house, New Year pictures were posted at the gate of the courtyard, and a string of firecrackers was first set off when it was time to eat New Year's dinner.

Everything in the Liu family compound must be available in the imperial palace, so that Aunt Huang likes it.

For this reason, the little emperor and the empress dowager had a small dispute in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The empress dowager felt cold all over, and the little emperor smiled like a rascal, "I haven't hung it before, that was before, and the harem rules didn't say that you are not allowed to hang Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival. Just a post, how festive? Isn’t the New Year’s Eve full of red everywhere!”

As he spoke, he took out two New Year pictures from his jacket and unfolded them for the Empress Dowager to see, "Look, this thing is called a New Year picture. You have lived in the palace for decades, and you must have never seen how ordinary people celebrate the New Year. This Do you know New Year picture dolls? Is it good-looking? Isn’t it very cute? It’s plump, and it smiles like a rice dumpling. It’s said that this thing can attract wealth and wealth, welcome Ji Nafu! Will I hang it for you myself?”

No matter how dark the empress dowager's face was, she ordered the old nanny, "Mammy, in the past, the young masters of the harem also put up window grilles, go to the respect room and get some, and paste them on all the doors and windows in the hall." , red, beautiful. My aunt really likes these things."
