The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is Xiaonian, also known as Jie Nian Festival.
They say twenty-three, sugar melon is sticky.
Xiao Xiruo, who had been lying in bed for five days, had just gotten out of bed when she saw Xue Xue and others arranging to hand out red envelopes and sugar ingots to the palace maids in Changle Palace.
This is the custom of the Duke's government, and it never falls behind every year. The Xiao family is poor, but they never treat their subordinates badly.
"Are there rewards for the dead soldiers and shopkeepers outside the palace?"
Sitting in front of the desk to pick out some clothes, Xiao Xiruo's body recovered from the shortcomings of the past few days.
Although she has Shiquan Dabu Pills and Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, running around is an act against her fate, and her body cannot be without load.
So every once in a while, you still need to stay in bed for a few days.
"Don't worry, Madam, everything is fine!"
Xing Xue patted her chest and began to greet the sisters into the palace to dress up for their master.
Taizu founded the country and set many traditions for Dayan. In addition to the world-famous Kongming Dharma Assembly, this annual New Year's Eve family banquet is also highly anticipated.
As the saying goes, everything in the world is the land of the king, and the land beside the land is the king's ministers. Those who have always been able to attend the family banquets during the Spring Festival are all top figures in the Yan Dynasty.
Relatives of the emperor and the country, nobles and nobles, this is a hurdle that countless people in Dayan cannot overcome in their entire lives.
"I heard that in this palace, apart from the Queen Mother, only the Queen and the Fourth Concubine can go to the banquet. It would be great if the Fourth Concubine doesn't go as well, and it will save you the trouble."
While Xue Xue was braiding Xiao Xiruo's hair, she took Xi Yang to chat with the girls.
In Xiao Xiruo's memory, most heroines in novels don't like to attend banquets and find it tedious and boring. But she, Xiao Xiruo, is a supporting character, and she is a supporting character who likes to go to banquets and poke people's spines.
So she coughed twice and immediately said righteously:
"How can that be done? Without me, the Emperor will be so lonely."
Hearing this, the girls on the side burst into laughter, and even Bai Zhi, who had always been serious about smiling, pursed her lips.
Only Du Juan pulled Bai Zhi's sleeves and whispered:
"Sister Bai Zhi, does the emperor really like the empress?"
After hearing this, Bai Zhi was silent for a while and said seriously:
"Like it."
"By the way, who are here this year? What do they like and don't like? Let's talk about it. It will also make it easier for me to be quick to talk. Well, just to prevent me from being quick to talk..."
The corner of Xiao Xiruo's mouth twitched, and she almost spoke her true heart.
When it comes to understanding the harem and the royal family, no one here can surpass Xi Yang.
"The late emperor had few heirs and had five sons and two daughters. Our emperor ranks seventh. Among them, the eldest son of the emperor, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, has nothing to do with the world. Two months ago, he invited himself to go to southern Xinjiang to control the snow. Now the road is blocked due to heavy snow.
He will probably not return to Beijing until the spring. The sixth daughter of the emperor, Princess Pingle, who married far away from southern Xinjiang, should be in the same situation."
King Xuan?
The second male lead communicates with each other?
Xiao Xiruo raised her eyebrows. The word "indifferent to the world" must have been used for the wrong person. When this person returns to Beijing after finishing his busy work, he may cause some trouble.
At least there will be a bloody storm between him and Feng Yehan because of Yan Moqing.
"In addition to King Xuan, King Qi, and King Ye will all be present. As for King Ming, it will be the Queen Mother's pain."
Xi Yang said it very tactfully, but everyone knew that the Ming Prince Feng Tianming was once the only hope of the Empress Dowager Hua and the Hua family. In order to raise this highness, the Empress Dowager Hua did not hesitate to sacrifice her own daughter, the third daughter of the emperor, Princess Wan Ning.
Give it to other concubines to raise.
This is also the reason why everyone knows that Hua Wuhua Suyi is married to the Queen Mother, but Princess Wanning is not on good terms with the Queen Mother.
Unfortunately, fate played a trick on people, and the princess, who was not welcomed by the Queen Mother, was safe and sound, but King Ming was injured by a stray arrow during a rebellion and was killed with one blow...
Therefore, when the dynasty changed, the Hua family had no choice but to support Feng Wuyan as the new emperor.
In this regard, Xiao Xiruo could only say that this was probably an injustice.
"On the contrary, Princess Wanning married the eldest son of Ningguohou Mansion and is living a very happy life now. I heard that not only she and her consort are coming today, but also the young prince of Ningguo Mansion."
As soon as Xi Yang mentioned Ning Guo Hou Mansion, Xiao Xiruo's mind started to move.
"Little Marquis? Lin Jiayan?"
Xi Yang nodded: "Exactly. The young Marquis is the second son of the old Marquis. Because the eldest brother became the consort, the title was given to him."
Xiao Xiruo nodded.
Good guy, isn’t this the third young man from the Sun?
How?
All members of the heroine's harem are present at the royal family banquet. You can invite them or not, but those who can't attend are not worthy?
Look, even the heroine Yan Moqing’s licking dog Feng Qi is here, then...
"Is Lu Liang coming?"
Xi Yang was stunned and thought for a while before saying:
"The empress is talking about the Prince Luliang of the Andinghou family, right? Come, come, come with Andinghou and the eldest princess of Ruyang. Why are they missing from this family banquet?"
Xiao Xiruo said "Oh", okay, the fourth male who will be acquainted with Yan Moqing has also arrived.
She didn’t believe it!
Well, there really is...
When Xi Yang talked about the late emperor's brother, Prince Gong Feng Hua, Xiao Xiruo fell silent.
Isn't this the old pervert who fell in love with Yan Moqing at first sight and then wanted to take her away from her by force, but was set up by a group of handsome men in the harem?
Complete, really complete!
Xiao Xiruo played with the white jade plum blossom hairpin in her hand, secretly thinking that the villain Feng was the cutest, as if he was the only clear figure among these wild bees and butterflies.
Love it, love it.
"Well, let's just wear this today."
"yes."
＊
The snow was falling at night, the red plum blossoms stood proudly in the snow, and the palace palaces were lit up with lanterns, attracting a group of nobles to enter the Taihe Hall.
The white mist is steaming in the palace, making it feel like Penglai Immortal Palace, which makes people sigh with emotion at the wealth of the Hua family.
When Xiao Xiruo arrived, what she saw was Hua Suyi, Haigui and others standing in front of the palace, welcoming all the royal relatives.
In addition to those introduced by Xi Yang and the others, there are naturally many other branches of the royal family.
These people come early and sit down early, so their status is naturally not that important.
Therefore, when facing Hua Suyi who was welcoming guests, her expression was actually a bit more respectful than the other person's.
"Who do I think is in such good health, who is standing outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the cold weather? Tsk, tsk, it turns out to be the noble concubine who is in extremely good health."
Xiao Xiruo raised her eyebrows. With this strange way of speaking, who else could be other than that old hermaphrodite Wang Shufei?
Sure enough, when she looked back, she saw Concubine Wang Shu glaring at her fiercely, and Du Juan huddled at the end of their team.
Especially when looking at Du Juan, her eyes are particularly cold.
Hua Suyi, that bitch, previously suggested that she torture that bitch more to trouble Xiao Xiruo. Yes, it was somewhat useful, but in the end, the bitch actually wanted to throw herself into the pool, but was saved by Xiao Xiruo...
This was good, not only was Xiao Xiruo rewarded by the Queen Mother, but she was also grounded for three days, making the whole palace laugh.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she became frustrated. At this moment, Concubine Wang Shu couldn't wait to go up and have a fight with Xiao Xiruo!
Then she saw Xiao Xiruo rolling his eyes at her and mouthing with a smile:
"Come on, come and hit me!"
Concubine Wang Shu: "!"
Xiao Xiruo, what the hell are you! This chapter has been completed!
