Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

Chapter 60 New Year Welcomes New Blessings

The new year is approaching.

The palace servants hung up red lanterns with laughter, and each palace was decorated with lights and colors, and everyone was in a happy mood. The ancient and majestic Forbidden City seemed to have a touch of human touch due to different moods of people.

Hongli wrote the word "Fu" in his own handwriting and hung it in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. Later, according to ancestral rules, he wrote several copies and gave them to concubines, princes and ministers.

Each palace is also preparing for the Spring Festival.

Changchun Palace was full of servants. As the mistress of the Forbidden City, the Queen was the busiest person in the palace. The third princess, Jingse, sat beside Zhen Huan, accepting her mother's teachings.

In Xianfu Palace, Hailan's fingers flew as she quickly made an exquisite purse.

Gao Xiyue picked up the purse she had embroidered and stuffed large banknotes into the exquisite purse, muttering as she stuffed them in: "New Year's money, money to ward off evil spirits, this can't be saved, the more the better."

Wei Yanwan was also speeding up her movements. She wanted to make an exquisite lantern for each young master. The eldest princess wanted the Preface to the Lanting Poems, the second princess wanted the High Mountains and Flowing Water, the third princess wanted the Female Generals of the Yang Family, and the fourth princess wanted a cute little rabbit.

The eldest prince wanted a long river and sunset, the second prince wanted Dayu controlling the flood, the third prince wanted a lonely and proud swordsman, and the fourth prince Yan Wan made him a rushing river and decorated it with red azaleas. As for the fifth prince, the master wanted to make him a little swallow.

In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Yi was preparing various foods for tonight's family dinner. Everyone had already agreed that they would stay up together until the end of the family dinner.

Lu Muping stood in the small kitchen, unwilling to move. Yipin smiled and chased her away: "It's so smoky here, what are you doing standing here? Go play with Jingyu and the others for a while, and I'll bring it to you when it's ready."

In Zhongcui Palace, Su Lujun, with her big belly, watched Chen Wanyin drawing New Year pictures, holding a fat baby with a carp, and looked very happy.

"I usually see you painting figures and landscapes. I didn't expect you could paint this." Su Lujun liked the cute fat baby very much when she saw it.

Chen Wanyin smiled and said, "I didn't know what to give to the ladies for the New Year, so I went to learn how to draw New Year pictures."

In the Yiku Palace, Qixiang Palace, Yonghe Palace, and Chuxiu Palace, there were sounds of drums and music, and the ladies were busy rehearsing the programs for the dinner.

In the Yanx Palace, A Ruo knew that she was not as rich as Concubine Hui, not as skillful as Concubine Yi, and not as good as the other concubines in singing, dancing, or playing musical instruments.

We can only focus on the one in the side palace. The emperor has issued an order not to let her attend the New Year's Eve family dinner. It is better to lock up Ulanara with an iron chain to prevent her from coming out on New Year's Eve to disrupt the party and ruin everyone's fun. I only told the palace people not to neglect the food as promised.

The whole country celebrates on New Year’s Eve.

On this day, Hongli adjourned court and stopped writing. He got up at yin hour to go to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors, and then attended a state banquet to entertain all officials.

After the state banquet, Hongli went to the harem to have a family banquet and celebrated the New Year with the empress dowager, concubines, princes and princesses.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone toasted to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. They wished the Empress Dowager a long life and good health. They wished the Emperor good health and good luck. They wished the Qing Dynasty prosperity and peace.

The Queen Mother felt very relieved when she saw the happy scene before her.

After three rounds of drinking, the concubines performed for the family banquet.

Gao Xiyue, the sound of her pipa is like the gurgling of spring water, the melody she plays seems to bring people into the artistic conception of ancient poetry, and every note flows like a line of poetry.

Jin Yuyan, her dancing is agile and graceful, every turn and every jump is full of elegance and confidence.

Bai Ruiji, her pipa sounds like a plaint, which makes people intoxicated.

Yihuan sang and danced in public and sang a song called "Drunk in the Flower Shade". Everyone was surprised that such a woman would actually perform in public at a banquet.

But she had no eyes on anyone else, only on Hongli at the top. Her eyes were like a bright lamp in the long night, which would always be on regardless of wind and rain, pointing the way for the one she loved.

Hongli was deeply moved.

There were clinking glasses and laughter. It was almost midnight and Zhen Huan ordered that all the palace ladies be rewarded with a bowl of dumplings.

Hongli lit a string of firecrackers himself, and firecrackers rang out in various places in the palace as if they had received an order. The festive sound of firecrackers broke the silence of the century-old palace and added a lively color to the arrival of the New Year.

Amid the lively sound of firecrackers, Hongli grabbed Zhen Huan's hand, leaned close to her and whispered in her ear: "How about I give my beloved wife a special New Year's gift?"

Zhen Huan looked at Hongli in confusion, "Whatever the emperor gives me, I like it."

"When the Mongolian princes came to Beijing to pay homage this time, I asked them to bring all the boys between the ages of seven and twelve."

Zhen Huan vaguely understood what Hongli meant, but she was not sure. She wanted to hear Hongli's promise in person.

"Then you and I will pick a few that we like and send them to the prince as his study companions. I will personally teach them. If Jingse likes them in the future, you can stay in the capital and get married. If Jingse doesn't like them, I will find a husband for her."

Zhen Huan was deeply moved, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Mongolia will be dissatisfied with this move?"

Hongli looked at Zhen Huan and asked, "Do they dare?"

The sleepy princes and princesses perked up when they heard the sound of firecrackers, and surrounded Concubine Hui to ask for the firecracker boxes to light.

After receiving red envelopes, setting off firecrackers, and eating and drinking to their heart's content, the young masters could no longer bear it and were taken back to their bedrooms by the palace servants. The older children did not bother the ladies and left one after another.

Late at night, the Queen Mother left the table, and Zhen Huan wanted to persuade Hongli to leave. Hongli was in high spirits today, and wanted to stay and celebrate the New Year with the concubines.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They were going to play cards, and the loser would stick a note on the card. The emperor was unwilling to leave, so everyone had to remain dignified and not move freely.

We couldn’t play mahjong, so we could only sit together and eat snacks and chat.

Huang Qiying ordered the palace servants to remove the leftovers on the table and replace them with the cakes and food she had prepared.

"Yipin's craftsmanship is exquisite and her ideas are clever, not bad," Hongli praised.

Qing Chang eats the snacks made by Concubine Yi every day at Lu Muping, and thinks that she will no longer be amazed. Unexpectedly, Concubine Yi designed a new style without telling her.

The sweet and sour, soft and glutinous pastries melt in your mouth, eliminating the greasiness of the meaty New Year’s Eve dinner and feeling as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Years later, Su Lujun followed Jin Yuyan's advice on eating a balanced diet and walking more often to nourish the fetus, and successfully gave birth to the emperor's sixth prince, who Hongli named Yongrong.

When Su Lujun heard this name, she didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Gao Xiyue explained: "Yong, the sound of jade colliding."

Su Lujun's eyes dimmed. She hoped that other people's children would be talented and set examples, but when it came to her own child, there was no meaning at all.

Zhen Huan quickly smiled and comforted him: "The collision of two jades is a sign of good things coming in pairs, which means good luck has arrived."

Su Lujun smiled. She didn't care whether he was highly regarded or not. With the emperor, empress and other princes protecting him, it was good to be a blessed person.

Gao Xiyue could always smell a faint smell of blood in the delivery room, and finally she couldn't help but dry-heaving.
