Chapter 1300 New Year's greetings and gifts
Congratulations to Zhao Lingsu on becoming the new owner of Zhongcui Palace. The home court headed by Zhu Yiliu is naturally set up in Zhongcui Palace, just like when he was in Yikun Palace.
However, in addition to Zhu Yiliu, Li Zhiyi, the two empress dowagers, Zheng Miaojin and Zhao Lingsu, Wang Shurong also came with the stinky brat Zhu Changluo.
Zhu Changluo had long been able to speak. With Zhu Yili's warning and Wang Shurong's whip, he finally stopped calling Zhu Yili's "dad" and changed to "uncle" as "dad".
The people at this table were not yet sitting down and were chatting. Wang An ran over panting and replied:
"Miss Xu Wenying, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites, came to pay New Year's greetings to Emperor Long Live, Empress, Empress Dowager, Shupin and Empress Depin, and brought a lot of gifts."
"Sister Ying'er is here?" Before Zhu Yili could speak, Li Zhiyi hurriedly answered, "Where are hers?"
"In the Qing Palace, I will come here to spread the word first."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let your sister Ying'er be with me? It's almost time for dinner anyway." Li Zhiyi asked for instructions.
Zhu Yili glanced at the two empress dowagers, and saw that they were all happy and warmly welcomed, and nodded and said, "Okay, let her come over."
"I obey the order." Wang An took the order.
"This Miss Xu is pretty," Empress Dowager Li praised, "and also knew to come to the palace to wish us a happy new year."
"I think she mainly comes to visit Lizhi'er, right?" Empress Dowager Chen smiled at Zhu Yi'er and said jokingly.
Li Zhiyi also smiled and introduced to Zhao Lingsu with great enthusiasm: "Susu must not know how earth-shaking Ying'er did? She actually encouraged the bosses of major gambling shops in the capital to promote and promote the hype, saying that he would not marry the emperor in this life. Isn't it very powerful?"
Zhao Lingsu nodded, "There are such a bold and interesting girl in the world, I want to meet her."
Soon, under the guidance of Wang An, Xu Wenying came to Zhongcui Palace. She was wearing small sheepskin boots, a small moon-white embroidered fur coat covered with a crane in a white fox with a big red feathered gauze, tied a blue gold flash green double ring four-ring Ruyi belt, an embroidered cotton skirt tied under her waist, and a snow hat on her head.
This outfit is completely different from that of the women in the palace, so it gives people a bright feeling when they come.
Two close servants from the Ganqing Palace who were ordered by Wang An followed behind Xu Wenying with a large box.
Qiaohong, who was originally Jingyang Palace, now a maid from Zhongcui Palace, hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Wenying take off her outer cloak.
Xu Wenying first kowtowed to the two empress dowagers and sent the blessings that had been memorable long ago:
"I wish the Empress Dowager a happy New Year. I wish the Empress Dowager good luck every day and good luck shine every day! Spring and spring will last forever, and live a happy life without worries!"
The two empress dowagers were laughing from ear to ear.
Queen Mother Chen said: "Miss Ying'er is really good at speaking."
Empress Dowager Li said: "I didn't prepare a red envelope today, so I will make up for it for Miss Ying'er when I came back."
Wang An appropriately asked the two close servants to move the box to Xu Wenying.
Xu Wenying took out the mahjong and calligraphy, presented it to her hands, and said crisply: "This is a New Year gift to the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother likes it."
"Miss Ying'er is really here, come as soon as you come, what gifts will you bring?" said Empress Dowager Li.
Xu Wenying handed the mahjong to Queen Mother Chen and handed Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy to Queen Mother Li.
The two empress dowagers were overjoyed and sighed.
Then Xu Wenying took out the pair of golden nanmu chess, handed it to Zhu Yili, and said:
"Ying'er also wishes His Majesty a happy New Year! I wish His Majesty good in politics, good taste, good life, good luck every day! May all the people in the world remember His Majesty's good!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yiliu replied, "Thank you, Ying'er, I wish you younger and more beautiful!"
"Yinger didn't say anything."
"explain."
"The reason why Ying Er gave His Majesty a pair of chess is that she hopes that His Majesty will relax and rest appropriately and not overwork!"
"Okay, thank you! I will remember."
Xu Wenying then kowtowed to Li Zhiyi, Zheng Miaojin and Zhao Lingsu one by one, and then gave them a gift prepared for them.
Everyone laughed and laughed happily, and praised Xu Wenying for being sensible and polite.
Just when Xu Wenying got up, Zhu Changluo said silly: "Why don't this beautiful sister give her mother a gift? Why don't I not?"
The air suddenly stagnated.
Only then did Xu Wenying remember how wise and experienced her father's decision was.
In fact, she realized it when she saw Wang An ask her nearby servant to help her carry the box.
If you don’t listen to the old man’s words, you will suffer a loss before you. You will be honest and don’t deceive me! Xu Wenying’s thoughts are flying. It would be great if there was another set of children’s educational toys.
What a pity...
Wang Shurong scolded Zhu Changluo: "There is no rules, are you a child? What gift do you want?"
Then he smiled awkwardly at Xu Wenying and said, "You are young and ignorant, Miss Xu, don't mind."
Xu Wenying said calmly: "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare so many gifts. I didn't expect that everyone was together today, because I was negligent."
That's the truth, and she can't do anything about it.
Only honest explanations can be made.
Zhu Yiliu said to Zhu Changluo: "You still want a gift? Have you kowtowed to my sister to wish you a happy New Year?"
Zhu Changluo hurriedly jumped out of her mother's arms and kowtowed to Xu Wenying, "Happy New Year, sister!"
What should I do?
Xu Wenying looked at Zhu Yili anxiously. First, he did not bring any gifts, and second, Zhu Changluo was also a royal family member, so how could he kowtow to her?
She was thinking about whether to kowtow and give a gift.
Li Zhiyi was also thinking about whether to give her gift to Zhu Changluo first.
Zhu Yili laughed loudly and said, "Okay, Chang Luo performed well today. Thank you, Uncle, Sister Bai, for giving you a big red envelope and buying candy."
I saw him take out a red envelope from his arms and hand it to Zhu Changluo with a smile.
"Thank you uncle!" Zhu Changluo took the red envelope happily, then handed it over to his mother.
Children are so naive and easy to satisfy.
Xu Wenying gave Zhu Yi a grateful glance.
Empress Dowager Li greeted, "Okay, okay, everyone, let's sit down first, the meal will start soon, Ying'er will be together."
Xu Wenying couldn't help but look at Zhu Yili again.
Zhu Yili and Li Zhiyi nodded at the same time.
Xu Wenying then replied: "Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
I thought to myself, would I sit with the emperor for dinner? This is the first time I am afraid, but not afraid.
The two empress dowagers still sat on their heads, followed by Zhu Yiliu and Li Zhiyi, and then Zheng Miaojin and Zhao Lingsu.
Originally, today I was dedicated to congratulating Zhao Lingsu, and I should have exchanged positions with Zheng Miaojin, but Zhao Lingsu did not agree.
No one was worried.
Although Zhao Lingsu had never left Jingyang Palace before, she also knew Zheng Miaojin's status.
Xu Wenying happened to sit next to Li Zhiyi, which was exactly what she wanted.
Then Wang Shurong hugged Zhu Changluo.
After everyone sat down, the chef in the imperial kitchen quickly put a full table of food.
There were still some people standing next to him, including Bai Xiaopang, another chef, and two close servants from Yikun Palace. Qiaohong and Wenxiu were also there. Wang An sent Xu Wenying and left. There was also a dinner party in Da'une.
Another happy day.
The happiest person is Xu Wenying. Although she encountered a little embarrassment because she did not listen to her father, it was not hurtful. She could sit here for dinner as her identity, and she was already satisfied with them.
Of course, she was not without longing and yearning in her heart. It would be great if she could integrate into this royal family in the future. Even though she sat here at this moment, she seemed to be one of them.
