Royal first lucky star

Pei Yun noticed Emperor Longqing's envious gaze, but he pretended not to see it, nestled in the Empress Dowager's arms happily, and asked the Empress Dowager what was sung on the stage from time to time.

The Queen Mother explained patiently.

Pei Yun listened carefully.

Such a supportive Xiaotuanzi made the Queen Mother feel that the explanation was very interesting, so she kept talking to Pei Yun.

Emperor Longqing's envy turned into jealousy.

Pei Yun was secretly refreshed. Seeing that the stage was beginning to end, he asked with unsatisfied interest: "Ah, Wan Liao?"

"Didn't Yun'er see enough? The imperial grandmother asked him to act again." That's how the Queen Mother dotes on Pei Yun.

"No." Pei Yun leaned on the Queen Mother's ear again and said, "Let's go back to eat hot pot."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back."

"Mother, are you going back now?" Emperor Longqing asked.

"Well, you go to watch the new year with the queen, the Ai family will be accompanied by Yun'er."

Emperor Longqing had no choice but to agree.

The Queen Mother put Pei Yun down.

The people of Ci'an Palace wanted to hug Pei Yun.

"Don't hug, I'll take the imperial grandmother's hand." Pei Yun took the Queen Mother's hand.

"Look at how clingy you are." The queen mother said so, but she really liked Pei Yun's stickiness in her heart.

"Just cling to the emperor's grandmother." Pei Yun still looked proud.

The queen mother was very happy, and said: "Okay, let's go."

Emperor Longqing brought a group of concubines to salute the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager pulled Pei Yun out of the banquet, and asked Nanny Liu to invite Wen Qinglan and Pei Feng. Not long after they arrived at Ci'an Palace, Wen Qinglan and Pei Feng also arrived.

"Concubine mother, brother." Pei Yun shouted.

Wen Qinglan and Pei Feng saluted the Queen Mother first.

"Get up, Yun'er said that he wanted to eat hot pot with you to watch the New Year's Eve, so Aijia invited you over." The queen mother said.

"Yes." Wen Qinglan and the two were a little cautious.

"Mother Liu, let them serve the hot pot."

"Yes."

After a while, the hot pot was served, and there were mutton slices, fish slices, venison slices, egg dumplings, dim sum, vegetables and so on beside the steaming pot.

The queen mother sat upright.

Wen Qinglan took Pei Yun and Pei Feng to the side.

Fearing that the heat would scald Pei Yun, the Empress Dowager ordered the servants to wait on Pei Yun: "Be careful, don't scald the Ninth Prince."

"Eat, eat, everyone." Pei Yun greeted like a little adult.

Empress Dowager Wen Qinglan and Pei Feng all lowered their heads and smiled.

"I want to eat venison." Pei Yun said.

The palace servants boiled the venison and put it in Pei Yun's bowl.

Pei Yun scooped it out with a spoon and sent it tremblingly to the Queen Mother's bowl: "The imperial grandmother eats first."

"Thank you Yun'er." The Queen Mother smiled.

"You're welcome." Pei Yun's voice was tender.

The queen mother was very happy to hear that, Xiaotuanzi Pei Yun would always warm her heart inadvertently, making her feel that the sacrifice was so worthwhile, and she talked a lot softer with Wen Qinglan and Pei Feng: "Concubine Lan, sixth prince, don't hold back, Let's eat."

"That's right, it's so hard to hold yourself back." Pei Yun answered the words milkily.

"You can say it." The Queen Mother deliberately gave Pei Yun a sideways look.

Pei Yun scooped up another fish ball for the Queen Mother.

"Okay, okay, I know you are filial to the emperor's grandmother, so hurry up and eat."

Pei Yun ate with a spoon: "It's delicious."

The queen laughed.

Seeing that Pei Yun was teasing the Queen Mother, Wen Qinglan and Pei Feng were in a great mood and relaxed a lot.

The number of side dishes on a table gradually decreased.

The Queen Mother drank some tea and looked at Pei Yun, Pei Feng and Wen Qinglan who were eating down. It's fine for the two children, Pei Yun and Peifeng not to talk, Wen Qinglan would not take the opportunity to please her mother-in-law, this concubine Lan, really Not smart enough.

But she didn't like it anymore, instead she felt that Wen Qinglan was easy to get along with, so she reached out and gave Wen Qinglan a ball.

Wen Qinglan was overwhelmed by the flattery. Although her youngest son was favored by the Queen Mother, she received a lot of rewards, but she knew that the Queen Mother didn't like her. To stand up and salute.

"Don't be too polite, let's eat." The queen mother took another piece of meat for Wen Qinglan.

Wen Qinglan was happy in her heart.

So did Pei Feng.

Pei Yun knew that his goal had been achieved. He just wanted the queen mother to gradually change her view of the concubine mother, so that the family could be united and friendly. After he and his elder brother grew up and left the palace, the concubine mother could live a good life in the harem from time to time. , so he also held the small bowl and said, "Grandmother, give it to me too."

"Okay, I'll clip it for you." The Queen Mother clipped Pei Yun.

Pei Yun proudly said: "The emperor's grandmother is the best in the world!"

The Queen Mother laughed.

The atmosphere at the table became more and more relaxed.

Not long after the hot pot was finished, Pei Yun took the Empress Dowager Wen Qinglan and Pei Feng together for a walk in the yard, and then watched the new year around the brazier.

The queen mother said something about the period of the first emperor.

The three of Pei Yun listened carefully, and after a while Pei Yun found a suitable opportunity and asked, "Grandmother, are you going to sacrifice tomorrow?"

"Yes." The Queen Mother said.

"Then do I have to get up early?" Pei Yun asked.

"correct."

"Is mother and concubine also going to get up early?" Pei Yun asked again.

"Correct."

"Does brother also get up early?" This was the question Pei Yun really wanted to ask.

"Yes, we have to participate together." In the past, Pei Feng had the reputation of "unlucky" and did not participate in any public activities, but Pei Feng had been praying in the Buddhist hall for a year or two, and he met the conditions for participating in the sacrifice, so the Queen Mother I confirmed it with Emperor Longqing a few days ago.

Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but he said with a worried look on his face: "Ah, so many people have to get up early, it's so hard."

"Yun'er, don't be rude." Wen Qinglan reminded Pei Yun that what he said was profane to the sacrifice.

Pei Yun quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

The queen mother said: "Then Yun'er should not go."

Pei Yun put down his little hands and said, "No, I'm going. I'll go to bed early so I can get up early."

"Okay, go to bed early."

"I'll sleep when I'm young."

"Row."

Pei Yun persisted until twelve o'clock in the morning, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky of Dawei, heralding the arrival of the new year.

But Pei Yun couldn't bear it anymore, fell asleep in the empress dowager's arms, and heard Wen Qinglan's shout again in a daze: "Yun'er, Yun'er, wake up, we are going to sacrifice."

Sacrifices!

Pei Yun opened his eyes at once.

Wen Qinglan was startled and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Pei Yun didn't respond.

Wen Qinglan thought that Pei Yun was having a nightmare, so she hugged Pei Yun for a while and said, "We have to hurry up and gather at the Empress's place, and then participate in the sacrifice."

Pei Yun nodded.

Wen Qinglan hurriedly ordered someone to dress Pei Yun with new clothes, new shoes, and hang up accessories. After everything was ready, Wen Qinglan checked the attire of the mother and son and made sure that there was nothing wrong with her before arriving at the Queen's Zhengyang Palace. The concubines, princes and princesses are also here.

"Brother!" Seeing Pei Yun coming, Seventh Princess happily ran over.

"Sister." Pei Yun stepped forward to hold Seventh Princess' hand.

"Brother, you look really good in your clothes today!"

Pei Yun's whole body was custom-made by the Empress Dowager, even the needlework was extremely expensive, can it not look good?However, the Seventh Princess also wore solemn clothes, and the solemn color made her look more immature and cute. He said, "Sister looks pretty!"

"Ninth brother!" The fifth prince, the sixth princess, and the eighth prince also ran over.

The fifth prince said: "I almost didn't get up today."

The sixth princess said: "I didn't go to bed until late last night."

The Eighth Prince said: "I'm sleepy now." He opened his mouth to yawn.

The seventh princess hurriedly covered the eighth prince's mouth and said, "If you want to sacrifice, you have to be serious."

The fifth prince nodded: "Yes, you have to be serious, like me." He put his face on his face, it seemed that there was no seriousness at all, but he felt that he was very serious.

The sixth princess ignored the fifth prince, and said to the seventh prince, "Don't yawn, or you will be punished!"

Seventh Princess added: "You will be fined without eating for three days."

The eighth prince ran around with Pei Yun and others all day, and lived happily every day. He was no longer the skinny child who didn't like to eat. He became extremely fond of eating. When he heard that he couldn't eat for three days, Immediately freaked out.

The sixth princess said: "Don't yawn."

The fifth prince said: "Be energetic!"

The Eighth Prince who had his mouth muffled said "Mmhmh" twice, expressing his agreement with them.

The Seventh Princess said: "Don't talk, just blink your eyes if you understand."

The Eighth Prince blinked his eyes twice.

Seventh Princess let go.

The Eighth Prince opened his black grape-like eyes, and said firmly and milky: "I'm not sleepy, I'm energetic."

Seventh Princess immediately straightened her small body: "I am also energetic!"

The fifth prince saw that his younger siblings were all energetic, and his desire to win was aroused. He immediately tensed up and said, "I am the most energetic!"

Seeing this, the Seventh Princess pulled Pei Yun over and said, "My brother is also in good spirits!"

For no reason, Pei Yun stood upright and cooperated with everyone.

So the five people just said that they should be serious, but now they are chattering about who has the energy, completely forgetting what the occasion is, until their respective mothers and concubines pull them back to their bodies, they don't remember to sacrifice.

One by one shut their mouths and stood up straight. At this time, the queen said some precautions related to the sacrifice, and then started to walk towards the sacrifice platform.

Pei Yun knew that the sacrificial altar was built by Qin Tianjian in the northeast corner based on Fengshui, and sacrificial utensils were placed on it all the year round, but it was far away from the harem.

They didn't arrive for a quarter of an hour, but they saw the Empress Dowager, Emperor Longqing, important ministers and the princes of the prince's house walking towards the sacrificial altar from all directions, with a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

The Fifth Prince Pei Yun and the others couldn't help becoming serious.

When they arrived at the wide sacrificial platform square, the concubines, the prince and the princess stood separately.

In the front row are Emperor Longqing, the Empress Dowager and the Prince.

After beating the drum, Qin Tianjian's Jianzheng, Lingtailang, Jianhou, Sili and other personnel appeared with various astronomy and geography gadgets, and Wushan in fancy clothes appeared out of it.

"Master." Pei Yun called out slightly.

Wu Shan who walked past Pei Yun didn't even look at Pei Yun, and went straight to the sacrificial altar.

Pei Yun didn't mind either, and looked straight at Wu Shan.

Wu Shan followed the adults of the Qin Tianjian, offering sacrificial offerings, whole sheep, pigs, chickens and fruit snacks, and began to offer sacrifices to heaven.

The prisoner praised the sky loudly, and then began to kneel down to worship.

Empress Dowager Longqing knelt down to worship.

Pei Yun knelt down with the empress and others, and lay on the ground. He turned his face slightly and looked at the supervisor waiting on the sacrificial altar. He offered incense, worshiped again, danced the sword, and divination with the tortoise. After calculating the result of good weather, he bowed down with joy .

The Empress Dowager Longqing and the others also got up very happily.

Then offer sacrifices to the earth.

Pei Yun followed Emperor Longqing to worship again.

The last is to worship the ancestors.

Pei Yun continued to worship Emperor Longqing, and suddenly heard a "dang" sound from the sacrificial altar. He and the others looked at the altar curiously, and the supervisor and others on the altar all looked in Pei Feng's direction.
