After drinking and eating, all the ministers said their congratulatory speeches one by one, and then began to ask Zhao Ziyan to give the characters. It stands to reason that at this time, the emperor should use the cinnabar pen to write the characters of blessings, and bestow them on the ministers who are doing it. Ascend the throne and let the regent come, which is just right.

Zhao Ziyan smiled: "Although the prince is young, he has always been diligent and good at writing. I can't handle my handwriting. Let the prince give me the handwriting, Xun'er, okay?"

Zhao Xun got up and cupped his hands: "Yes."

Although Zhao Xun was young, he could already write big characters in a decent way, but some ministers couldn't understand why Zhao Ziyan refused. Zhao Ziyan said that she couldn't write well, but everyone who had seen her knew that her handwriting was very strong and strong. How could it be impossible to take it out as one body, and she asked the prince to write for her, what does it indicate?

The people below speculated a lot, but they didn't dare to reveal it. After the banquet was over, several ministers couldn't help asking Li Fu: "Master Zhongshu, what do you think is the meaning of your actions just now?"

Li Fu felt a little depressed, and didn't have the heart to answer their questions, so he waved his hand: "Your Majesty's meaning, I can't figure it out." After saying goodbye, it's New Year's Eve, so let's put those things on hold for now Bar.

Zhao Ziyan returned to the Chonghua Palace, Liuli Liuyu and the others were all dressed in festive new clothes, kneeling neatly in front of the palace: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Princess, and a happy new year."

Zhao Ziyan drank a lot, after all the minister toasted, she couldn't refuse too much, she blushed slightly, looked at the palace servants in Chonghua Palace, smiled, raised her hand and said: "Get up, Li Sheng, everyone has a reward. "

Seeing that she was slightly drunk, Fu Yanqing supported her, and said in a low voice, "Liu Yu, prepare the water and make a pot of tea for your lord."

"Yes, I'm going now, slave." Fu Yanqing went over to Fu Yanqing who was dressed in a somewhat cumbersome crown dress, which was a little too cumbersome and smelled of alcohol. He passed her wristband and untied her belt: "Change your clothes first, huh?"

Zhao Ziyan stretched out his hand obediently and asked her to undress herself. The heavy crown robe outside was removed, revealing a soft shirt inside. Fu Yanqing looked at her in a daze, and his heart softened so much that he couldn't help teasing her: "Are you sleepy?" , do you want me to bathe my little gentleman first?"

Zhao Ziyan blinked and shook his head: "I'm not sleepy, I still have to watch the new year with you, concubine mother... I have to go to see concubine mother."

Fu Yanqing laughed softly: "It's hard for you to remember, come on, wipe your face first, get rid of the smell of alcohol, don't smoke your mother and concubine." Seeing Liu Yu came over with a silver basin and hot water towel, she was very considerate. He twisted the veil carefully and handed it to Fu Yanqing.

Zhao Ziyan was a little unhappy when she heard the words. She pulled her sleeves and sniffed it, then shook her head: "Nonsense, I'm not smelling it, you smell it, it doesn't smell it at all, it smells... very fragrant."

"Pu Chi" beside Liu Yu couldn't help it, laughed, and quickly held back the laugh, retreating in a hurry.

Zhao Ziyan seemed a little dissatisfied with Liu Yu's smile: "Why is she smiling, isn't it sweet? Smell it, smell it." She pulled up her sleeve and let Fu Yanqing smell it.

Fu Yanqing was so cute by her appearance, hugged her, and kissed her soft lips: "Smell, it's very fragrant, not smelly at all." Then he coaxed her: "I'll wipe it for you, it will be even more fragrant .”

Covering her face with hot water, she felt a little uncomfortable. Zhao Ziyan groaned a few times, and when Fu Yanqing wiped her clean, she regained consciousness and looked at her with her eyes open, "Qing'er."

Fu Yanqing wiped her hands and said with a low smile, "Are you sober?"

Zhao Ziyan blushed slightly, took the towel and said, "I'll come by myself."

After tidying up, Zhao Ziyan was mostly sober from the wine, and said in a low voice, "Go and see the concubine mother." Afraid that Wen Ruyan would feel uncomfortable in the palace, Zhao Ziyan ordered Wen Ruyan to be picked up after the banquet, and it was time to arrive.

Wen Ruyan lived in the side hall of the Chonghua Palace for the time being, Zhao Ziyan took Fu Yanqing by the hand, when they entered, Le Yao and Sheng Yu were chatting with Wen Ruyan, Zhao Ziyan was taken aback: "You haven't gone back yet?"

Le Yao pretended to be wronged: "Your Majesty, no matter what you look like, you despise us." Le Yao and Sheng Yu were hesitant to go back, but they just happened to meet Wen Ruyan entering the palace, so they stayed temporarily to accompany Wen Ruyan. Let's chat.Zhao Ziyan was a little drunk, so Li Sheng didn't inform him yet.

Zhao Ziyan just smiled, then looked at Wen Ruyan, and said apologetically, "I drank too much just now, so I couldn't come back in time to accompany my mother and concubine."

Wen Ruyan smiled softly: "My concubine understands, I'm fine with Le Yao and Sheng Yu by my side."

After hearing this, Zhao Ziyan leaned over obediently: "Mother, I want lucky money."

The smile on Wen Ruyan's face deepened, but there was a soreness in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Mother and concubine are all prepared, all are there, all are there."

Zhao Ziyan and Le Yao have a good relationship, and Wen Ruyan also heard about it, so he prepared some more with him, and took four exquisite and beautiful red envelopes and handed them to four people: "Mufei doesn't have much, just a little heart."

All four of them took it, Sheng Yu and Le Yao were not restrained, especially Le Yao had a sweet mouth and was very good at coaxing people.Seeing this, Zhao Ziyan sent someone to re-make side dishes and make dumplings.At that banquet, it seemed rich, but in fact few people ate much. The four young people gathered around Wen Ruyan, talking interesting things, listening to the fireworks and firecrackers set off in the palace outside. In this huge and empty palace, Finally, I felt a taste of the year.

When it was late at night, Zhao Ziyan saw that Wen Ruyan was starting to look tired, so he persuaded her to rest, while Le Yao and Sheng Yu were also preparing to leave.

Before leaving, Zhao Ziyan asked someone to take a sandalwood box and handed it to Le Yao: "I don't know what to give you, but Qing'er helped me pick this out, it should be your New Year's gift."

Le Yao took it and gently opened it. The sandalwood box was padded with a layer of golden velvet. Inside was a very, very beautiful exquisite jade pendant. The color was milky white, but very warm. The inside was covered with light green dark lines, and the handle was very delicate. Le Yao It is crystal jade, and this kind of quality jade is the top grade.However, there are two ropes tied on it, Le Yao stretched out his hands to hold the jade carefully, and twirled it gently, the jade split into two, turning into two half-moon-shaped jades, the surrounding patterns closely fit together, very delicate, it turned out to be Twin Jade.

"Thank you."

Le Yao and Sheng Yu obviously like it very much, and they are not short of valuable things now, but this gift is obviously very thoughtful.Le Yao closed the box, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I really can't find anything to give you."

"You and Sheng Yu have helped me and An'er a lot, and it is more precious than giving anything away." Fu Yanqing, who had been silent all this time, said softly, and the few of them looked at each other and smiled, as if everything was in silence.

Le Yao and Sheng Yu looked at each other, and finally said: "But it's the New Year, so congratulatory messages are indispensable. I hope that the king and the princess will join hands for a hundred years and live in Chang'an forever."

After sending the two of them away, Zhao Ziyan accompanied Fu Yanqing back to the Chonghua Palace. In the past, the emperor and empress brought their sons and daughters to watch the year in the harem, but it is a rare situation in the Great Xia harem now.There are no emperors, no heirs, no concubines and heirs, so it is very deserted, but keeping the year old is an important thing, and the people in Chonghua palace are not idle, all kinds of festive decorations are hung up, and they have received rewards from Zhao Ziyan and Fu Yanqing, They all gathered outside to eat dumplings.Zhao Ziyan had always been tolerant towards them, so the atmosphere in Chonghua Hall was rare.

Zhao Ziyan watched as Fu Yanqing took a stack of red paper, lowered his head and carefully cut it, leaned over and said with a smile, "My wife is really skillful."

Fu Yanqing looked up and smiled: "Liuli taught me well, so I can cut some for the New Year when I have nothing to do, and it will be festive."

After hearing this, Zhao Ziyan tilted his head, and finally watched her cut out a beautiful word "Fu", and said in a low voice, "Then Qing'er can cut the word "囍?"

With the scissors in hand, Fu Yanqing suppressed the smile on his lips, and asked knowingly: "I will meet, An'er wants Le Yao to get married, so I will cut them the Chinese character "Xi?"

Zhao Ziyan pursed her lips: "No, I... I also want to marry you. When we get married, you will have to cut the word "囍." After she finished speaking, she shook her head again and muttered: "I'm too tired, don't you?" Alright, then you can cut out the Chinese characters for our bride's wedding."

Fu Yanqing bent her lips, but said calmly: "Did I say that I want to get married?"

Zhao Ziyan was startled, but started to play tricks, and said aggrievedly: "Qing'er, you don't allow this, I belong to you now, are you going to throw it away?"

Fu Yanqing blushed slightly: "I'm not also..."

Zhao Ziyan hugged her behind him, and said in a low voice: "Qing'er, I will marry you, and I will definitely give you an upright identity, so that those messy people will never dare to covet you again."

"I know, but don't feel pressured. Although I have no status with you, you have given me a hundred times everything else." Fu Yanqing's fingers were stained with red flakes, she gently brushed them off, and put her hands on the her hands.The two embraced tenderly for a moment, and the bell rang outside, signaling the end of the year.Zhao Ziyan suddenly remembered something, and said: "Li Sheng, bring the cinnabar pen and red paper."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Sheng trotted in with something, and hurriedly polished ink for Zhao Ziyan.

Zhao Ziyan spread out the red paper, picked up a pen and wrote a big blessing on the red paper, the handwriting was majestic but with her usual style, very beautiful.

She dried the ink, and handed the word "Fu" to Fu Yanqing, as if asking for credit: "The first word "Fu" in the new year is for you."

Fu Yanqing burst out laughing, but still took the blessing carefully: "If they know that your refusal to write a blessing is because of me, they don't know how to express it."

Zhao Ziyan smiled, but said seriously: "From now on, I will give you the first blessing every year." In Daxia, the first blessing that the minister asks for every year has a very strong meaning, and the first blessing that can be asked for is very meaningful. The characters are all concubines that the emperor relies on or loves very much.

On New Year's Eve, the two of them willfully put aside the others and spent the whole night in the Chonghua Palace.

When the first day of the new year arrives, what awaits them is a day of heavy etiquette.On the first day of the first lunar month, according to the rule of the Great Xia court, the Minister of Taichang Temple held a sacrificial ceremony. First of all, a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held. This was probably the strangest event in the history of Great Xia.

The two most honorable persons in Great Xia are not emperors, and for the first time on the high altar of heaven, there are two worshipers wearing non-nine chapter pattern crown robes.

Li Fu was below, with helpless eyes, took a deep breath, watched Taichang Temple Qing open his mouth to sing, and when the ceremony at the Temple of Heaven was over, Zhao Ziyan and Zhao Xun went to the temple to offer sacrifices, knelt down before all the officials, and shouted in unison, wishing the weather in the summer will be smooth, The prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people will last forever!

Just as he was about to go back one by one, Li Fu got up to go out, bent his knees, and knelt down on the ground. "The emperor is above, and the monarchs of the Great Xia Dynasty are above. Li Fu has something to say today. I hope that all officials will bear witness and all people will learn from each other."

As soon as he said that, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and Zhao Ziyan's heart skipped a beat when he saw his eyes fixed on her.
