Chapter 1138 Departure

Seeing Empress Dowager Yan's absent-minded appearance, the personal servant girl cleaned her hands and stood beside Empress Dowager Yan, bending over to help her wrap up the thin white fluffy blanket on her legs, and said in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, today's New Year's Eve , even if Your Majesty and the Ninth Prince are back, they will go to patrol the camp and have to talk to the soldiers for a while, why don't the Queen Mother use some bird's nest porridge to cushion her stomach first?"

"No..." Empress Dowager Yan rubbed the stove cover embroidered with green bamboo in her bosom, let out a long breath, and took out the handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"The empress dowager misses the first emperor." The empress dowager's personal maid also turned red-eyed, she knew that the empress dowager and the first emperor had a deep relationship.

"On this day in previous years, the first emperor would always be by my side and accompany me. He would always surprise me and give me some small gadgets to make me happy. The late emperor always said that the treasury was difficult, so he could only send me some worthless gadgets, but... ...Anu, I am very happy in my heart, no matter what he gives me, it shows that I have me in my heart! I am really happy..."

Thinking of the past with Murong Yu, the Empress Dowager Yan burst into tears, wishing she could go with Murong Yu now, but if she leaves, no one can restrain A Yan, if he has other thoughts, her child will never Just can't handle it.

Empress Dowager Yan knew in her heart that although she didn't have any great abilities, Murong Yan always respected her as a sister-in-law, and with her... Ah Yan would not be unscrupulous after all.

"Anu, do you think...Ah Yan will not come back to celebrate New Year's Eve? After all, today is New Year's Eve, and the emperor of Zhou is pregnant with his flesh and blood. How can Ah Li and I be more important than his child?" Queen Mother Yan thought. It hurts.

Just as he was talking, the little eunuch outside opened the curtain and came in, and after saluting, he said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Ninth Prince are coming here!"

Empress Dowager Yan quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, stood up with Anu's hand, and showed a joyful smile: "Go quickly, let a few people greet you with lanterns, it's snowing today... let Your Majesty and Jiu My lord, be careful of slippery roads!"

"yes!"

"Go and warm a pot of fruit honey brewed by Meng Zhaorong himself. The apricot fruit nectar is fragrant and lingering on the tongue. Even though A Li is young, he can drink two cups! Let A Yan taste Meng Zhaorong's handicraft." Yan The Queen Mother smiled.

"Hey!" Anu responded, and turned to warm the fruit honey.

Murong Li and Murong Yan entered the door with a cold air, took off their cloaks, and then went forward to salute the Queen Mother Yan.

"My son has met A Niang! Happy New Year, A Niang!"

"A Yan met my sister-in-law! Happy New Year, sister-in-law!"

Seeing that Murong Yan, who had already taken off his mask, had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care about what she said before, Empress Dowager Yan felt much more at ease.

She turned her head and glanced at Anu, the personal servant, who quickly smiled and brought up a bamboo square plate painted with red lacquer and gold, inside which were two red purses, one embroidered with golden dragons and the other embroidered with golden pythons.

Empress Dowager Yan picked up the purse embroidered with golden dragons from the tray, and said to Murong Li with a smile, "A Li, this is the lucky purse that Auntie gave you. In the coming year...you must continue to work hard to be a purse that will not let your father and you Uncle Nine is disappointed, good emperor!"

Murong Li stepped forward to take the purse, and said with a smile: "Son will be a good emperor who can put my mother at ease and the common people at ease."

The Empress Dowager Yan nodded with a smile, took the purse embroidered with golden pythons from the tray, and looked at Murong Yan with a smile: "A Yan, you were not at home on New Year's Eve in previous years, and your brother always prepared a lucky red envelope for you." , I said I’ll give it to you when you come back! This year… during Chinese New Year, Ayan was in Yan Country, but your brother…”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Yan's voice was choked up and her eyes were red again. She forced herself to smile with Murong Yan: "So this year's lucky red envelope, sister-in-law will give it to you! Don't take what sister-in-law said that day to heart, yes Sister-in-law is too narrow-minded, which hurt our Ah Yan's heart."

"Sister-in-law, our family doesn't speak different languages ​​anymore! When our teeth and tongues still collide, relatives of ordinary families will also quarrel, but because we were born in the royal family, we talk about family affairs...we are talking about state affairs! Murong Yan wanted to ease the atmosphere, and his eyes fell on the purse in the hands of the Empress Dowager Yan, "Sister-in-law Ayan is already an adult! If you accept this lucky red envelope, it will make little Ah Li laugh."

Empress Dowager Yan was so teased that she laughed out loud: "He dares! With sister-in-law... you will always be the child when sister-in-law first met!"

Murong Yan was no longer polite, stepped forward to accept the lucky red envelope, and solemnly thanked him.

"Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, the food has been reheated and ready to serve!" Anu stepped forward to salute.

Murong Yan sat down at the round table, watching his sister-in-law kept adding vegetables to his and Murong Li's plates, he couldn't help thinking of Bai Qingyan...

If Bai Qingyan hadn't asked him to come back for New Year's Eve, he would definitely have stayed in Dazhou to accompany Bai Qingyan, and how sad it would be for his sister-in-law who didn't have an older brother to spend New Year's Eve with him the first year, maybe she would be even more suspicious of him in the future. Yan Guo surrendered to Bai Qingyan, causing a deeper misunderstanding of Da Zhou and him.

"Your brother said, this stewed lion's head is my mother's special dish. Ayan liked it the most when I was a child. I made it according to the recipe left by my mother. This is the second time I make it. I don't know how it tastes. Ayan Try it!" The Empress Dowager Yan picked up a piece for Murong Yan, and let him taste it with a smile.

When his mother was still there when he was young, he always liked to cook a lot of unheard of food for his brothers when he was dealing with government affairs. After his mother left, he gradually forgot those tastes as time went by.

"Thank you sister-in-law!" Murong Yan said with a smile.

Seeing his mother and Uncle Jiu getting along in harmony, Murong Li also had a smile on his face, this is what a family should look like.

The white snow fell all night, covering all the blue tiles with double eaves in Pingdu City under the crystal white, and even the burnt black ruins had a thick layer of white fluffy snow on top.

Bai Jinzhi got up early in the morning, and came to Bai Qingyan's place for breakfast. By the way, he asked how the eldest sister was going to go. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door of the eldest sister, Fifth Brother once again mentioned the idea of ​​letting the elder sister go back to the capital city. thing.

She hurriedly motioned Wei Zhong not to report, and eavesdropped on the carved partition.

"The spring will start at the end of February and the beginning of March. I will definitely go back before the palace test at the latest. I will set off at the end of the first month and go back..." Bai Qingyan cleaned her hands and took a steamed cake with chopsticks for Bai Qingyu, smiling He raised his head and said to the door, "Xiaosi also come in for breakfast, don't eavesdrop."

Bai Jinzhi opened the blue-gray curtain with padded cotton and came in, said with a smile, "I just arrived, I haven't heard anything yet!"

With that said, Bai Jinzhi went to the stove and stretched out his hands to warm himself, and cleaned his hands before sitting at the round table. Wei Zhong added a set of bowls and chopsticks to Bai Jinzhi, and served her a bowl of porridge before stepping aside.

The third update, continue to ask for monthly tickets...
