My Princess Has Been Reborn

The Princess Mansion had arranged the mansion in an orderly manner years ago, and also prepared all the affairs for the New Year, but in fact, the two owners of the Princess Mansion did not stay in the mansion on New Year's Eve.

There was a family banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, and it would be very late according to the usual practice. Last year, the two stayed directly in Jingchen Palace.

In the past, Lu Qipei had no relatives at home, so it would be okay to join in the fun during the New Year's Eve, but this year there are more Lu Sheng in the mansion, and it's a bit worrying to leave her alone in the mansion when it's Chinese New Year.Qi Yang finally thought about it, and simply left Zhi Ting who came in and got quite close to the child, so that she would not be too lonely by letting her accompany the child during the New Year.

Neither Lu Qipei nor Qi Yang thought about bringing Lu Sheng into the palace, because they both knew it was not suitable.Fortunately, Lu Sheng was sensible, and didn't make a fuss about wanting to be with the two of them, but was hugged by Zhi Ting and went out to see them off.

"Go back, it's cold outside." Qi Yang waved his hand after saying that, and put down the car curtain.

Lu Sheng didn't quite understand the meaning of the New Year, and he didn't think it was anything special to send the two away again.On the contrary, it was the sound of firecrackers that sounded from time to time on the street that attracted her attention even more. After watching the carriage of the Princess Mansion go away, she was immediately attracted by the sound of firecrackers.

Zhiting didn't notice this, she patted Lu Sheng's head, carried her back to the Princess Mansion.

In the carriage of the Princess Mansion that had already driven away, Qi Yang was talking to Lu Qipei: "Father is not as healthy as before, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the years. Let's not mess around with them tonight. If Father leaves, let's go out of the palace. "

Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and asked her: "Are you so worried about A Sheng?"

Qi Yang acquiesced to this, but said: "This year's New Year's Eve family banquet is probably boring. Without the three families of King Qi, King Chu, and King Wu, the remaining King Wei is now a quail. Whoever can stand out at the family banquet, It's nothing more than my sisters. It's not like you don't know their temperaments, and Nanping likes to find fault if they say a few harsh words when they have nothing to do."

The brothers and sisters are so upset, why do they still have to be with them during the Chinese New Year?Is it because the dumplings are no longer fun, or is it because the rabbits are no longer easy to play?Isn't it good to go home and hold Lu Sheng to watch the year?

In fact, Lu Qipei had never found palace banquets to be interesting. In the past, when the kings were still around, they would fight tit for tat and hide their blades.Now the only king left among the kings is King Wei, which may save a little trouble, but the family banquet this year must be much quieter than in previous years.

The two of them were talking, and the carriage quickly drove to the gate of the palace, and after entering the palace gate, it was necessary to change to a walking chariot.

Coincidentally, the two met the Nanping couple who were at odds.Nanping's son-in-law didn't say anything, and he didn't mind that Qiushou was upstaged by Lu Qipei, so he nodded friendly to the two.But Nanping is different, she "hummed" at Qi Yang, the two children who were holding her hand, now the eldest son is directly stuffed into the arms of the consort, while she herself carried the younger daughter to change the carriage.

That's right, Nanping has both sons and daughters.After being inferior to Qi Yang in other aspects, she finally found her own advantage - children!Who told Qi Yang to be married for four years and still have nothing to show for her? Now that she has both children, how can she not be envious?

Nanping hugged his daughter and left triumphantly, but the son-in-law had no choice but to keep up with his son.

Looking at Nanping's proud back, Qi Yang couldn't laugh or cry. After pulling Lu Qipei's sleeves and getting on the chariot, he finally couldn't help muttering to her: "What do you think Nanping thinks? Is it interesting to compare it with me all day long? "

Lu Qipei touched her hair on the side of her ears, and asked her: "Will your Highness regret having no children?"

Qi Yang was slightly startled when he heard the words, and immediately frowned and said: "What do you want to do? Besides, we have Lu Sheng now, isn't it good?" She said, lowering her voice: "It's not easy for a woman to have children, my two imperial sisters My mother and concubine died in childbirth, I don't want to risk my life."

This is the truth, but if the young man she admired back then was not a daughter, she would have been willing to bear children for her.

Lu Qipei didn't get entangled in this issue, but he was thinking about how to deal with the forces in his hands after Xie Yuan's death.Especially those like Qi Bo who haven't let go of their hatred completely, they must be placed carefully, and they must not be allowed to have any contact with Lu Sheng.The current Lu Sheng is very good, she doesn't want her to grow crooked one day, which will only make Qi Yang sad.

The palace people carried the chariot and walked very quickly, and they arrived at a warm pavilion in a short time.

The family banquet is no more than the court banquet and the state banquet, and there will not be many people participating, so there is no need for a spacious hall like the Xuande Hall, so it is changed to another smaller palace, the Yaohua Hall.But it's still early now, and the Yaohua Palace is still preparing, so the princes and princesses who arrived first gathered in the warm pavilion to avoid the cold, talking and laughing on good terms, but harmonious.

The arrival of Qi Yang and Lu Qipei did not affect anything, it was nothing more than greetings from everyone.Only Nan Ping rolled his eyes at them unwillingly, turned his head and started talking to his familiar sisters again.

"Look, it's really boring." Qi Yang tilted his head and said to Lu Qipei like this.

On New Year's Eve, we have to watch the year, and the New Year's Eve dinner is also eaten in the evening, so this family banquet was naturally arranged in the evening.Everyone entered the palace in the middle of the afternoon, and some wanted to go to the Xuanshi Hall to pay their respects, but considering that the emperor is not in good health, they gave up the idea for fear of self-defeating.

The days of winter are short, and the palace banquet begins at Youshi, and the sky outside is dimmed.

Everyone waited in the Yaohua Palace, where the prince and the emperor arrived one after another—the prince suffered a serious illness a year ago, and the prince’s body has not yet recovered. His face was pale, but now it looks even less bloody.On the contrary, the emperor still supported the majesty of the emperor. If it weren't for the hair on his temples that was rapidly turning white, others would only think that he was in good health.

Qi Yang looked at the father and son, and couldn't help worrying, but the emperor didn't have time to let her think about it when he came.All the people stood up and saluted the emperor and the prince, and did not sit down again until the emperor was seated and asked to be exempted from the ceremony.

The palace banquet started, the emperor sat on the throne, and the prince got up and led the crowd to greet him.

However, the emperor glanced down and found that there were a lot fewer people in the palace than in previous years.Thinking of the three sons who died this year in a trance, I don't know what it feels like, and finally my heart softens.After everyone received their New Year greetings and received their rewards, they turned their heads and said to Zhang Jian: "Today's New Year's Eve should be a reunion. While it's still early, send someone to fetch King Qi, the fifth prince, and the son of King Wu."

Zhang Jian went in response, but the hall was silent for a moment.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering whether the emperor simply wanted to be reunited on New Year's Eve, or whether King Qi and the others had really waited for the day to turn around?

King Wei watched the Prince's face carefully, but unfortunately he didn't notice anything except sickness.

Qi Yang and Lu Qipei didn't think much about it, the two on the left and right were useless, and considering the current body of the emperor, there was no time for them to grow up.Rather than worrying about King Qi and the fifth prince, it is better to worry about the prince's body - he looks really weak and pale, which made Qi Yang doubt the diagnosis of the imperial doctor and others.

But the emperor had already summoned them, and the palace banquet couldn't start completely before all the people arrived.We have to wait for King Qi and others to come and celebrate the New Year with the emperor, the New Year greetings are over, and then we can eat, drink and start enjoying the New Year's Eve dinner.

Of course, the adults had no objection to this, except that the little grandson who followed was a little bit hungry.Even if they have been taught not to do anything, looking at the delicious food in front of them is hopeless, and it can't be more pitiful.

Qi Yang saw Nanping's son looking at the beef soup in front of him, his mouth was watering, and he couldn't help but leaned into Lu Qipei's ear and whispered to her: "It's a good thing that A Sheng doesn't use it today."

The corners of Lu Qipei's lips twitched, inexplicably hearing a bit of schadenfreude from these words.

Fortunately, when the prince and princess left the palace to build a mansion, the place they chose was not too far from the palace.Even after the king of Chu was demoted to a commoner, the emperor did not make it difficult for him to take back the palace, but only demolished the things that exceeded the regulations.The summoning was quick at this moment, and a few people hurried over in less than half an hour.

The fifth prince was especially excited. He rushed to the front of the imperial court and knelt down with a "plop", crying, "Father, father, I finally saw you again. It was all my fault before, and I thought this I will never see you again in my life! I heard that my father was ill and wanted to enter the palace to visit my servant, but I couldn't even enter the palace gate. At that time, I really, really wanted to die..."

He was crying with sincerity, tears streaming down his face.But the emperor was a little impatient, he didn't have much affection for these sons, and today is the New Year's Eve family banquet, so what is the fifth prince crying like this?He also mentioned his illness. Is this a mourning?

Finally, the emperor frowned and slapped the table, scolding: "Shut up!"

These two words are more effective than anything else, the fifth prince stopped crying immediately, knelt down on the ground and dared not even move.King Qi on the side was still thinking about whether he should follow his younger brother's example of selling miserably, but at this moment he was also excited, and he didn't dare to act recklessly.

Then King Qi and his nephew saluted the emperor together, respectfully and silently, respectfully paying New Year's greetings without daring to say anything.

The emperor's face became better now, and he waved his hand to let the two of them retreat to the table, then glanced at the fifth prince who couldn't figure it out in disgust, and said impatiently: "Go away, don't be an eyesore here."

The fifth prince retreated obediently, not daring to make a fuss anymore, and secretly wiped the tears off his face after retreating far away.

In fact, no matter whether the fifth prince or the king of Qi, after six months of suppression, the whole person seems to be much depressed.They were not good enough in the first place, and now that they lacked the determination of young people, the emperor looked down on them even more.

Fortunately, this little episode in the family banquet ended here, the emperor didn't say anything, and the next thing was a smooth singing and dancing banquet.The little emperor and grandson who had a banquet with him were almost hungry, and when they heard that they could eat, they hurriedly moved their chopsticks.Only the eldest grandson followed the prince and took care of his father all the time.In the emperor's eyes, the young boy's patient and thoughtful appearance made him even more satisfied.

Not long after, after drinking for three rounds, the emperor's spirit became a little weak.However, he obviously didn't want to expose his old age to others, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked Zhang Jian, "How are the fireworks outside prepared?"

Zhang Jian used to know the emperor's mind best, so he said: "Go back to Your Majesty, we are ready."

The emperor nodded, got up and said, "Let's go out and watch the fireworks. New Year's Eve is also lively."

Everyone hurriedly got up when they heard the words, and followed the emperor out of the hall. Watching the fireworks is also an inherent part of the New Year's Eve family banquet. In previous years, they would only be set off near the end of the day.

However, the time for fireworks this year is obviously much earlier than in previous years.
