Great Zhou Empress

The second day was the first day of the new year, and there was a big court meeting on the first day of the new year as usual, so the two of them got up very early. After packing up, the chefs brought up the must-eat food on the first day of the new year.

The first one is Tusu wine. It is said to be wine, but it is actually more medicine. It is brewed with medicinal materials such as rhubarb, Atractylodes macrocephala, and osmanthus twigs. It is probably for a year without disease and disaster.

The second one is the five-spicy dish, which is usually made with green onion, ginger, garlic, leek, and coriander in the folk, but it is too ugly in the palace. It's also delicious food.

But even so, Xiao Liege still disliked it? Wuxinpan, expressing that he didn't want to eat it at all, he picked up a piece of bacon with chopsticks, and Xue Zhijing didn't want it? He added a piece of ginger The piece was stuffed in along the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm..." Xiao Liege was caught off guard. After being stuffed with sliced ​​ginger, her mouth was filled with a spicy taste, and the bacon in her mouth was tasteless. She wished she could spit it out immediately, but? She didn't expect Xue Zhijing to guess her Thinking, covered her mouth, laughed? Hehe? Said, "On the first day of the New Year, eat the five-spiced plate, so that Yang Qi can grow, and all diseases will not invade for a year, so don't spit it out."

"Hmmmm!" Xiao Liege was still trying to struggle, but Xue Zhijing said, "If you don't eat, I'll ask the three children to have breakfast together. See you in front of them? Can you be so naive?"

Xiao Liege: "..."

Seeing Xiao Liege with a mournful face, he chewed hard twice, his throat rolling, and swallowed the spicy thing in his mouth, before Xue Zhijing patted her head and praised her, "You're so good!" !"

After breakfast, it's not yet dawn, Xue Zhijing is going to attend the grand court meeting on the first day of the new year.

There is usually no special event in this kind of grand court meeting. The main thing is that the courtiers congratulate the emperor for the New Year, and the emperor distributes New Year gifts to the courtiers.

Just a? Hello me? Hello everyone, first meeting of the new year.

Xiao Liege probably took a mouthful of ginger in the morning, and his whole body felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that his throat was burning, but to some extent it should be just a psychological effect.

She doesn't have to go to court, and her eldest nephew is also busy today, so he probably will come over to pay her New Year's greetings tomorrow. Thinking about it, why not go for a walk with the children today.

During the Spring Festival holiday, the children didn't have to study, so the three children naturally excitedly started playing with Xiao Liege in the palace where the horse races.

Xue Zhijing went down to the court and asked people. He knew that the four of them were all at the racetrack, so he went there. Before he arrived, he heard a lot of happy voices, and he didn't know what they were playing.

Walking into the racetrack, she saw that on the field in the middle of the racecourse, there was a wooden cow-like guy, which looked full of the rough feeling of wooden machinery. For some reason, it could move forward by itself. ?In, like an internal combustion engine installed inside, but the speed is as slow as a turtle crawling.Xiao Liege put the three-year-old Xue Zhou on the wooden cow's back, and let the wooden cow take her away.

Children are afraid of any danger, but they think this wooden cow is more interesting and fun than real horses and cows. They screamed excitedly on the back of the cow, and the remaining two children looked at it with envious eyes. It's all green, but the wooden ox isn't that big. The two older children probably went up, and the ox walked or didn't move.

Xue Zhijing suppressed the worry in his heart, stepped forward and asked, "What new toy is this?"

Seeing Xue Zhijing coming, Xiao Liege hugged Xue Zhou down and put him on the ground, but the wooden cow was still there. He continued to walk forward, and the three children followed on the ground. The wooden cow ran.

"It's newly sent over by the students of the Royal Comprehensive University's School of Engineering. I? Let it be tested first, and the results are pretty fun." Xiao Liege walked towards Xue Zhijing, smiling? Hehe?

Xue Zhijing looked at the wooden cow and asked curiously, "How does it move? Is it a simple toy, or is it?"

"No, the students of the engineering school said that there are machines inside, but what is the specific principle? They mentioned me? They didn't remember it, so they said that they could walk by themselves. When there is a little breeze, they can walk faster. This? The belly of the wooden ox can still hold things, they said, if such a wooden ox is used to transport goods, neither humans need to eat horses, nor need coal."

Xiao Liege spoke excitedly, but Xue Zhijing's mind suddenly thought of ancient mechanical creations such as "Trojan horse" and "Wooden cow and horse", which were rotated by machinery, supported by the wind force, and formed A forward-moving effect similar to a perpetual motion machine.

Having said that, Xue Zhijing became interested.

However, the wooden ox obviously will stop. After turning a few times, it stops by itself, and needs to start the mechanism inside again to continue to move.

Xue Zhijing smiled and asked Xiao Liege, "Are you going to play this with the children today?"

Xiao Liege approached her, wanting to do something intimate? Are you embarrassed? He only dared to ask, "Do you have any other good ideas?"

"Do you want to go to the Lichun Academy to watch the performance? The Lichun Academy has released a new batch of special Chinese New Year plays, which have never been performed before."

Xiao Liege was someone who had watched all the repertoires in the Lichun Academy for a period of time. When she heard about a new repertoire, she, who likes to be lively, naturally wanted to go.

Let's just go, the three children originally wanted to play with the wooden cow for a while, but they couldn't match their curiosity about new plays, so they followed.

Lichun Academy was originally Xue Zhijing's property. Since its operation, it has become the largest propaganda agency of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has recruited tens of thousands of actors, as well as a large number of screenwriters and printing factory employees. Almost every Every city has at least one theater in Lichunyuan. Where is it now? It can be seen that Lichunyuan was a brothel in Yangzhou City.

The popularity of Lichunyuan brought jobs to a large number of girls, and gradually affected the gender concept of the entire dynasty.

However, during the first day of junior high school, there were not many people in the Lichunyuan Theater, the largest in Wanguo City.

Xue Zhijing and others all wore white dragon fish suits, and the guards followed in a low-key manner, and walked into the gate of Lichun Courtyard.Xue Zhijing doesn't like being locked up in the palace all the time. She always feels that there is no atmosphere of life, so she always likes to go out. She has to go to Lichunyuan to watch plays, and she never thought about letting people enter the palace to perform. It's just that the guards have suffered a lot, and they have all developed a keen insight.

The shopkeeper naturally knew Xue Zhijing. Seeing everyone, he rushed over and nervously sent him to the private room on the second floor.

Xiao Liege looked at the first floor, and asked curiously, "It feels like there are not as many people as usual."

The shopkeeper responded with a smile on his face, "Return to Your Highness, after all, it is the first day of the New Year. Most people spend the New Year at home. There are only a few who can come out to watch the show. It should be able to do so in a few days." too much."

Xue Zhijing smiled and said, "It's just me? We have a small family, and you are impatient to greet your eldest nephew, so we can be considered free. Look at each of the courtiers' families, who doesn't have tens or hundreds of people? , From the first day to the fifth day of the new year, it is estimated that every family can't finish their New Year greetings."

Xiao Liege nodded, this is the truth.

After entering the private room, the waiter brought tea and food. After the guards checked, Xiao Liege began to feed the three children.

Xue Zhijing feels that she is also a child by nature. Sometimes she throws three children into the snow to learn how to survive in the wild, and sometimes she treats them as small pets and feeds them non-stop.

The Chinese New Year's repertoire should naturally be positive, but being positive can also create new ideas and create a pleasing feeling. No, two? Adults and three? .

The shopkeeper also thoughtfully provided a children's play, which is probably similar to the story of an ugly duckling turning into a swan and a tadpole looking for a mother.

The food brought by the shopkeeper? There is also a fruit plate, which is a plate of fresh grapes, grown in a greenhouse. It is not easy to get in winter, and the taste? It is also not good.

Xue Zhijing loves to keep healthy, and besides drinking tea, she also eats vegetables and fruits every day, but when she saw Xiao Liege patronizing the show, she just drank two sips of tea and knew that she was disobedient again.

Fingers squeezed one from the grape branch, Xue Zhijing brought it to Xiao Liege's mouth, bringing some moist grapes to his mouth, Xiao Liege naturally wouldn't refuse, subconsciously opened his mouth and chewed it.

Seeing the repertoire, Xue Zhijing wasn't as interested as she was, so she just listened to the actors performing seriously, and stuffed grapes into Xiao Liege's mouth at the same time.

Although these grapes are not sweet enough, they still have enough moisture, and they are refreshing even in winter. Xiao Liege naturally never refuses anyone who comes, so she eats one as soon as she gets it, without any effort.

Xue Zhijing was naturally willing to feed her two more. This guy who doesn't like vegetables and fruits hasn't gotten rid of this bad habit for many years. It's really a childhood habit that's branded in her mind like a brand.

When sending a grape into his mouth again, Xiao Liege's teeth bit Xue Zhijing's finger, Xiao Liege felt that he had made a mistake, he smiled, and turned to look at Xue Zhijing.

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Xue Zhijing twitched her eyebrows a couple of times, felt it was funny, and relaxed her fingers, allowing the grapes to fall into her mouth, and then her fingertips were... Xiao Liege She pinched her lips, indicating this? Idiot, she knows what she means?.

But after this, Xiao Liege didn't want to watch the show at all, and looked at Xue Zhijing with a smile in his eyes, as if waiting for her to feed him.

Xue Zhijing fed her another grape, this time Xiao Liege made a mistake on purpose, and the tip of his tongue brushed Xue Zhijing's fingertips for a while, making it warm and moist.

Xue Zhijing secretly called this in his heart? Little rascal, he withdrew his hand and pushed the plate of grapes in front of her? He said softly, "Eat it yourself."

Xiao Liege seemed to have forgotten that there were still three children beside him, so he acted coquettishly, raised his chin, and shook his head, meaning he didn't want to eat by himself.

Xue Zhijing was still thinking about it, why didn't he have the energy to save face now.

When he gave her another grape, Xiao Liege bit Xue Zhijing's fingertip with his teeth and couldn't let go.

The movement of the two? The three? The children naturally saw it. Regardless of their young age, the children can gossip since they were young. In a corner that the two of them don't know, the three? ? The eyes that also understand.

Xiao Hezhen whispered a few words in Xue Mo's ear, and Xue Mo whispered a few words in her ear again, which finally made Xue Zhou, the youngest, nervous and curious, pulling the two? What did you say.

In the end, Xue Mo couldn't help it, so he leaned into Xue Zhou's ear and whispered a few words, which made Xue Zhou gossip so red and excited.

Only now did Xue Zhijing notice the movements of the three children, and asked strangely what was wrong.

Xue Zhou couldn't hold back his words the most, and blurted out, "We're talking about the kiss between you two."

Xue Zhijing: "..."

Xiao Liege: "..."

It's over, it's over, and there will be no more face from now on.
