Lin Xi wakes up from a nap, Yuanyuan pulls up the curtain to help him up.

"Master, the mother in charge of the Yongning Hou Mansion has arrived, and Zhou's mother is sitting with her."

Tuantuan came in with a wash basin towel, wet Lin Xi's face with hot water, "It's the same as in previous years, Mrs. Tai asked the young master to go to watch the new year together."

Lin Xi stood up straight like a clothes hanger and opened her hands to allow the two girls to change their clothes. She sighed, "This year is not as easy as previous years."

Yuanyuan and Tuantuan looked at each other, lowered their heads together and stopped talking.

"Oh, Master Biao is finally here. The old lady has been waiting for a long time."

Mother Ren in front of Chongjin Hall looked at Shi Shi's white figure from a distance, and immediately smiled and went to greet him.

"It's snowing so hard, Young Master Biao, does it feel cold? Come into the house to warm up."

Lin Xi was wearing a silver fox cloak and a snow-white fox fur scarf around her neck. She hid her hands in the cloak and hugged the stove, so she really didn't feel cold.

Lin Xi nodded with a smile and said, "Mama Ren is concerned." Then she glanced into Chongjin Hall, Yuanyuan behind her stepped forward and stuffed a big red envelope into Mama Ren's hand, the fat girl smiled and held her hand , "Mom has worked hard this year, and the young master has a little intention to save the New Year for eating wine and buying fruits."

"The old slave thanked you, Young Master Biao." Mother Ren smiled, pouted her mouth inside and said, "The eldest madam is busy going in and out and hasn't come to pay her respects yet. The fourth madam, the eldest mistress, the second mistress, and the third mistress are already inside. , the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master are in the front yard with the Master and the Fourth Master, and the other young masters and young ladies may not come until the banquet begins."

Lin Xi understood, and walked into Chongjin Hall.

"The grandson pays his respects to his grandmother, and his fourth aunt."

Lin Xi bowed respectfully to Mrs. Tai, who was seated above, and Mrs. Shan next to her, and then saluted to her two cousins, and finally bowed her hands to Xiao Jinxin.

After seeing the ceremony, the second cousin Jiang Shi and Xiao Jinxin left together, leaving only Bai Shi standing behind Mrs. Tai, looking at Lin Xi with a smile.

As soon as the man left, Mrs. Tai glared at him and said angrily: "The old lady didn't send someone to call, so she didn't step in? You are not an outsider, and you still treat yourself as a guest?"

Lin Xi couldn't stop laughing when he heard the words. Since Zhao Jingyi came back, he even had less time to go to the White Mansion. Most of the time he either spent time in Prince Rui's Mansion to accompany the prince, or the prince jumped over the wall and entered the Lin Mansion for warmth. Because the distance between the two mansions is not far, it's quite It is convenient, so the days to visit Yongninghou Mansion are even fewer.

Looking back now, Lin Xi really felt guilty.

Mrs. Shan glanced at Lin Xi, and said with a smile: "Our old lady is really too. She is always looking forward to this person's coming. As soon as this nephew comes, she starts to blame her. Don't scare him away. In the end, she can only Talk to us."

"You're the only one talking too much." Mrs. Tai laughed and cursed.

Having said that, Lin Xi was really filled with guilt, and hurriedly bowed, "Is it my grandson's fault that I ignored my grandmother, and my grandson will come over to talk to you often from now on."

The old lady was easy to coax, she wasn't really angry at all, because of this soft word, she immediately became kind, "I know you are busy, but I heard Mr. Bai said that you will enter the Imperial Prison in the spring?"

Lin Xi replied: "Yes, the teacher said that there are many capable people in the Guozijian, and there are countless people with outstanding literary talents. The grandson's vision is limited now, and he needs to communicate with other talents to increase his knowledge."

"The old man always thinks long-term and thoughtful. Xi'er should be more obedient. Don't be naughty and make him worry."

Lin Xi quickly responded.

Mrs. Tai nodded again and again, smiling kindly.

Shan rolled his eyes and praised, "Entering the Imperial College is one step closer to being a Jinshi. Now the Imperial College offers wine and is the elder of the Bai family. I think he can always take care of his nephew, but I don't know... Bai How does the second lady think about it, can our nephew still be able to get into the eyes of the law?"

Having said that, his eyes have already turned to Mrs. Bai who is standing behind Mrs. Tai.

I only heard Bai's laugh, "Fourth aunt can just ask, can my niece and daughter-in-law hide it? My second aunt is a straightforward person. Both my grandfather and father agreed. My cousin's future should be good. So she said it depends on the person and family, but do you need to worry about this?"

Mrs. Tai patted Bai Shi's hand and said: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work. If you succeed, grandma will give you a big matchmaker red envelope."

Mrs. Bai leaned on Mrs. Tai with a smile and said: "The old lady's red envelope will definitely be accepted. At that time, the cousin's thank-you gift will not be missing. Then the granddaughter-in-law will go back to her mother's house and come back with a hug. Next year's incense powder will be paid for." There is."

"Hey, look at our eldest young mistress, she looks so meticulous. Where did my sister-in-law find a money basket? From now on, I will find one for our sixth young master according to this model, and I can earn incense powder money by myself. It's the burden of men." It's really a lot lighter. Could it be that the second lady of the Bai family is also like this? That nephew is blessed."

Shan clasped her handkerchief and kept joking, and the room was filled with the coquettish laughter of women of high and low grades.

Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help taking a small step back. At this moment, he really wanted to turn into a woman and run out in shame.

At this time, Mrs. Tai was in high spirits, and it was really not the time to lose her spirits. Lin Xi thought about it and resigned, "Grandmother, grandson, please go and greet the two uncles first, and then come to talk with you."

If you can't afford it, you can only avoid it. If the old lady is unhappy on New Year's Eve, no one will have a good time this year.

Seeing Lin Xi's embarrassment, Mrs. Tai waved her hand magnanimously and allowed him to leave.

Zhao Jingyi spent three New Year's Eves away, and this year can finally be spent in the capital.

And this time Zhao Yuanrong was finally able to sit beside his father. He was in such a good mood that he bent his eyes and saw everyone smiling. Looking at the light and neat singing and dancing in the middle, he leaned into Zhao Jingyi's ear and said, "If my uncle is here alright."

If such a family of three can be together, Zhao Yuanrong clasped his hands in front of his chest, with an expression on his face that this life is enough.

Zhao Jingyi took a sip of sake and almost spit it out. He put the cup aside and beckoned.

A young eunuch walked quickly, lowered his head and asked respectfully, "My lord?"

"This king is still in filial piety, so it's not suitable to drink alcohol, instead of tea."

"Yes." The little eunuch quickly removed the wine glass and jug, and after a while, the tea was replaced, "Please forgive me, my lord."

Zhao Jingyi waved his hand to make him retreat.

Emperor Xia Jing sat on the high dragon chair, looked at him and nodded slightly, "This kid is too sincere."

Concubine Shu took a pot of wine and filled a glass, and brought it to Emperor Xia Jing's mouth, "I heard that Prince Rui will keep a full filial piety period for the old prince and princess, it seems to be true, the prince is really filial."

Emperor Xia Jing took it, and said with a chuckle: "This nephew of mine is as temperamental as his father and king. He won't be able to bring back eight cows if he is sure. Out."

Concubine Shu looked sideways at Prince Rui, then lowered her eyelids, and let Emperor Xia Jing pinch his shoulders to watch the singing and dancing below.

Another concubine Xian said: "There is no one in the whole court who can compare with Prince Rui, even the King of Shu, and the concubines always advise him to learn more from Prince Rui, talk less and do practical things more, so as to share worries and solve problems for the emperor, don't always Holding the airs of seniority, don't hesitate to ask for advice humbly, you always have to learn a little bit."

"You're making sense of what you said, yes, if the fifth child can think like this, he will make progress." Emperor Xia Jing was in a good mood, so he said a few more words, "Don't treat other people as fools, everyone can see things with their heads down. See, I can see clearly too."

Concubine Xian glanced at the King of Shu, and the King of Shu immediately stood up holding the wine glass and said, "I would like to follow my father's instructions. Today, on New Year's Eve, I will respect my father for a glass."

As he spoke, he drank it in one gulp, and then he ordered people to come up, and then he went towards the opposite Zhao Jingyi.

"Jingyi, I know you drink tea, so my brother won't make things difficult for you. Let's toast the two brothers with tea instead of wine. From now on, if there is something that my brother can't do enough, feel free to mention it. The last point is that our brotherhood has increased by one point. Please." .”

Zhao Jingyi got up immediately, held the tea cups in both hands, and said respectfully: "Brother Shu knows that we are brothers, so there is no need to say these words. Brother Yu has been away for three years, and there are two empresses in the palace to take care of Rong'er, and brothers to take care of him outside. , this affectionate foolish brother will be kept in mind. It is inconvenient today, after the filial piety period, I will drink with Brother Wang to my heart's content, please."

"Brothers should be like this." Emperor Xia Jing smiled heartily, and inadvertently glanced at the ready-to-move King Liang.

The noble concubine immediately annoyed King Liang: "Your elder, you should be the first to answer everything. Could it be possible to let the two younger brothers wait for you? Why don't you go get closer."

Liang Wang straightened his sleeves, got up slowly and walked over, "My son is feeling ashamed. I am really envious to see the relationship between the two younger brothers. Please don't push me away when you lick your face. It's a respect, and our elder brother Sanman will drink this cup.

Liang Wang just raised his glass and stopped again, only to see him suddenly turned his face to Xi Yan and waved, "I almost forgot, Xiao Jiu, you come here too."

Zhao Jingyu was neglected in the past and never participated in banquets. After entering the Chongwen Museum in the past few years, he gradually became like a prince. With treatment, he appeared at banquets. Unlike the two emperor brothers of Zhongxing Gongyue, he was just a Just sat there silently.

Today, he was suddenly pointed out by King Liang, and he was a little dazed for a while.

"What are you doing stupidly, come here, you are also the prince, the younger brother of this king, if you want to drink, let's drink together, from now on, the emperor will take care of you."

The clan below could see clearly, with different expressions on each face, and the gaze of the King of Pills. It was the first time that Zhao Jingyu received such attention.He hesitated for a moment, bit his lip and got up slowly, walked into the main hall, his heart was beating wildly, but he took the Liang Wang white jade wine glass firmly with his hand, and drank it with all his elder brothers.

"Excellent." Emperor Xia Jing clapped his palms and smiled. He looked at them one by one with admiration, especially when he looked at King Liang with obvious satisfaction. I worry less."

"All the princes are in harmony, it is the blessing of the country, the blessing of the emperor." The clan admired with great winking.

The noble concubine raised the corners of her lips, lowered her eyes secretly, and she didn't need to look at the slightly gloomy face of the concubine Xian opposite.

After drinking for three rounds, the New Year is approaching, and the dishes given by the palace are sent out one by one, waiting for the bell to ring.

At this time, the dancing and music stopped, and Emperor Xia Jing said: "I still remember that during the Lantern Festival three years ago, I wanted to have fun with the people, but in the end I ran into Hunu assassins. Although I was not happy, the people should be happy. This year is a year of real victory, and it should be done vigorously. This time, Prince Rui has suggested that the curfew will be lifted tonight, and fireworks will be set up in front of the palace gate, and everyone will enjoy the same rewards with Zhenwangxianlou!"

As soon as Emperor Xia Jing had finished speaking, a long, long live came from the next room in unison.

As if sensing something, Zhao Yuanrong immediately turned his head to look at his father, stretched out his hand and tightened Zhao Jingyi's python robe, and the latter touched his head, "Ronger is good, father must go and arrange guards, let Eunuch Cao accompany you How about watching the fireworks?"

This reason is justified, Zhao Yuanrong really has no reason not to let it go, but his father would suggest that the emperor light fireworks?

Give me a break!

Zhao Yuanrong looked suspiciously at Zhao Jingyi, only to see that the latter had a serious face, as if telling him not to make trouble.He pursed his lips, and suddenly Fulin thought, "Father, please send me to my cousin."

"Your cousin is staying with Mrs. Tai to watch the New Year's Eve in the Marquis of Yongning. Are you disturbing me by going there?" Zhao Jingyi frowned.

What does it matter?

Zhao Yuanrong was dissatisfied, but it was really not suitable for him to disturb others in the middle of the night on this day, so he had to let go of the python suit little by little, lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders, and felt extremely wronged even looking at the back of his head.

Zhao Jingyi's heart softened for a moment, and he said softly: "On the Lantern Festival, let's take Lin Xi to the temple fair, shall we?"

Zhao Yuanrong didn't speak.

The father and son who hadn't gotten along much in the past three years really couldn't reach a tacit understanding, but Zhao Jingyi always felt a little guilty, so he patiently continued to coax: "I'll make you a cat and mouse lantern."

"Journey to the West!" Zhao Yuanrong suddenly raised his head and shouted.

With a vague impression, Zhao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay." He nodded and summoned Eunuch Cao to come over and take this little ancestor away.

Zhao Yuanrong achieved his goal, turned his head immediately, and said bluntly: "You are cheating on a three-year-old child. He must have gone to meet his cousin secretly, and he doesn't want to take him with him. Hmph! I don't care about it! Don't forget the temple fair and lanterns!" Then He raised his chin and took Eunuch Cao's hand and left.

Eunuch Cao let out a snort, lowered his head and covered his mouth, followed the valiant and high-spirited Shizi and hurried away, but Prince Rui was speechless when he got down.

People say that someone in their heart will become stupid, and it seems to be true.
