On this day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the imperial palace is naturally beaming.

When it was about to get dark, Fengqi Palace was already brightly lit.

"The princess and the son-in-law haven't returned to the palace yet?" Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Concubine Lan Gui, who had previously comforted the empress not to worry, also became anxious. Bao laughed a little, "Huaijin, don't worry, they agreed when they left the palace, it was probably delayed on the way."

"Yeah." A Bao nodded obediently, pursed his lips, and comforted: "When I came, my sister sent a letter, saying that I would definitely be able to make it to the capital on New Year's Eve. My sister always keeps her word. Don't worry either."

Although my sister vented to him and said that her sister Jiaojiao is a princess, Ah Bao always felt that the imperial palace was far away from him, and noble people like the emperor and concubine only lived in the discussions of others.

Therefore, when he received the news that the emperor had summoned him as soon as he arrived in the capital, he was in a daze. He also forgot how Lu Ming brought him to the palace. Only a little bit to calm down.

Because his own Jiaojiao and Concubine Lan Gui looked very similar, when he saw Concubine Lan Gui in front of him, he felt that he saw his sister Jiaojiao, and a sense of intimacy emerged spontaneously.After living in the palace for a few days, he was still not used to it, but he gradually relaxed.

"Well, don't worry, we are not worried." Concubine Lan raised her hand and touched his head. She really likes the child A Bao from the bottom of her heart. Not to mention smart, it is rare that she can be so calm at such a young age temperament.

"Those two bastards, they had a good talk with me when they went out, but they haven't come back now." While the two were talking, the empress came in, and before anyone came in, the angry words had already come in.

Hearing what the Empress said, Ah Bao hurriedly stood up and saluted. Concubine Lan Gui gave him a hand, waved off the palace servants directly, and took Ah Bao to the door to welcome them in, "I see that the emperor is getting old, this temper It just got worse."

The empress gave her an angry look, "I see that you are getting older, and you are becoming more and more impolite. Besides, I am not old, I am half a year older than you..."

Concubine Lan Gui secretly pinched her, and nodded her eyes on A Bao, and the empress stopped her mouth in embarrassment.

Different from Concubine Lan Gui's gentleness towards A Bao, the empress was a little subtle towards A Bao. She always felt that her daughter was abducted by Gu Ci, so she didn't want to be the crown prince. Naturally, she hated Gu Ci's younger brother. Yes, but the king of her country is naturally a person who cherishes talents. In her opinion, the young master in front of her will have a bright future in the future, so she should value it more.

"Huaijin, the emperor always speaks like this, the thunder is loud and the rain is little, don't be scared by her." Concubine Lan Gui helped the empress to sit down, and then said softly to A Bao.

The empress has been in a high position for a long time, her face is not angry and prestige, Ah Bao is somewhat afraid of her, after hearing what Concubine Lan Gui said, she smiled at people, and stood aside respectfully.

"I thought I could take them to the New Year's Eve dinner, but now I'm afraid it won't work with this posture." The empress took a sip of hot tea, still feeling bored in her heart, and glanced at the quiet A Bao, who had nothing to say. He said: "Your sister kidnapped my Anping to your Gu family, and she had no choice but to marry you. But look at you, it's like an outsider just like me."

Abao was at a loss by what she said, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and after a long time he said: "The emperor may not like to hear it, but Huaijin still wants to tell you the truth, Jiao...Princess Anping is not The one who had no choice but to marry her was because she wanted to marry her, so she agreed to get married."

The empress' face became even uglier, "Then according to what you mean, your sister still doesn't want to marry Anping?"

"No..." Ah Bao quickly shook his head, and quickly knelt down, "Huijin didn't mean that. Princess Anping and her elder sister were in love with each other, and they married voluntarily."

"See how you scare people?" Concubine Lan quickly pulled Abao up, seeing the empress with a gloomy face, she didn't have a good look at her anymore, "How many times have I said this? You are still tossing around. It will scare people later, and I will see how you will explain to Anping and Gu Ci later."

The empress looked embarrassed, but she still argued, "This big man, if he is frightened by my words, how can he become a pillar of the country in the future?"

Ah Bao looked at the two of them bickering like this, as if he saw his two older sisters bickering. This feeling was very strange, and he suddenly felt that this always fierce emperor was also a little cute.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly wasn't afraid of the empress, and grinning involuntarily said: "The relationship between the emperor and the imperial concubine is really good."

The Empress loved to hear this, and coughed softly, "The relationship between the concubine and the concubine for so many years is naturally good."

Concubine Lan Gui glanced at her, but seeing that Abao's expression relaxed, she stopped talking about the empress, and looked at the clock in the palace, "It's time to apply, I'm afraid I have to go to Chunxi Tower, so as not to let all the officials It's been a long wait. Today is New Year's Eve, so it will be over sooner, so all the ministers can go to reunite with their families earlier."

After many years, the Empress returned to the government, and on New Year's Eve this year, she invited her courtiers to a banquet in the palace.

Chunxi Tower is the place where the banquet is held.

The Empress looked outside, but still no palace servants came in to report. I think those two bastards probably haven't rushed back yet, and I'm afraid it won't work if I want to take them to the banquet.

"It is indeed going to pass." The empress nodded, and then looked at Abao, "You are capable, if they come back early today, I can take you to see the world. But since they haven't come back now , take you there like this, so as not to cause criticism. Forget it, wait until the evening, when someone comes back, I will bring Le Jia over again, and our family will have a reunion dinner in peace."

Concubine Lan touched A Bao's head, and said to the Empress, "Hurry up and go. Huai Jin is still young, and these ministers in the court are all old foxes. Huai Jin can't entangle them, so don't find some bad things for him." Necessary trouble."

The empress curled her lips, "You treat this kid like your own son, and I deliberately tripped him up." After finishing speaking, she drank the tea served by Concubine Lan Gui, and turned her face outwards angrily. went.

Concubine Lan didn't care, she respectfully sent the man out, and said to A Bao with a smile: "The emperor is the king of a country, in front of outsiders, he should be more dignified and majestic, and after many years, he has developed such a tone of speech. Jin don't mind."

A Bao shook his head, seeing the kind Concubine Lan Gui, he spoke a little more intimately, "I was a little afraid of the emperor before, but seeing her bickering with you today, Huai Jin is no longer afraid."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"The two sisters often bicker like this when they are at home." Thinking of the petty temper of the two sisters, Ah Bao couldn't help laughing.

When Concubine Lan Gui heard the words, she looked slightly embarrassed. The young couple were bickering for fun, but as they got older... well, they became a little childish.

Concubine Lan Gui secretly rubbed her face, and after recovering, she became somewhat interested in Gu Ci's usual relationship with the little girl.

When talking about the things about his two older sisters, Ah Bao seemed to start a chatterbox.

It wasn't until the night fell that Gu Ci and the little girl finally arrived at the gate of the palace. After the guards took out the badge, the little eunuch who had been waiting at the gate of the palace immediately came to salute and took them to Fengqi Palace.

When she arrived at Fengqi Palace, Concubine Lan Gui, who had changed into a dark red palace attire, was arranging Abao's clothes herself. When she heard the news that the two had returned, she hadn't recovered yet. Abao was already like a rabbit. ran out.

Concubine Lan Gui looked at this kind of A Bao, was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled suddenly, only such a young boy has the appearance that a young boy should have.

"Sister, sister Jiaojiao..." Ah Bao saw the two of them and ran over immediately. No matter how nice others were to him, they still couldn't surpass the status of the two sisters in his heart.

Seeing A Bao, Gu Ci and the little girl were stunned for a moment. The younger brother in front of him was wearing a purple brocade robe and a small fox fur cape. His hair was tied up with white jade hairpins. Nobility, like someone's noble son.

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold clothes." The little girl was the first to come to her senses, and patted A Bao on the shoulder like a big sister, "Our A Bao is becoming more and more romantic."

Abao's little face was flushed, "Sister Jiaojiao will tease me."

After Ah Bao finished speaking, Concubine Lan Gui, who came out after her, looked at the two of them with a smile, "You two are finally back, even more anxious than your mother."

Gu Ci hurriedly saluted, Concubine Lan quickly came over and held her back, "Don't make such false salutes, go and change quickly, if you are a step slower, I will take Ah Bao to watch the fireworks on the tower."

"Okay." Every New Year's Eve, there will be fireworks in the palace. The little girl has not seen it for many years, so she is naturally a little happy, and she turns her head to look at Gu Ci, "Sister, it's a good thing we are in a hurry, otherwise we will miss it."

Concubine Lan quickly ordered the palace people to prepare, and said to the two of them: "I have someone bring over your clothes, and I specially sent someone to wait for you at the gate of the palace. Hurry up and go."

People watching the fireworks will have clan relatives and courtiers, so naturally they have to wear palace attire.

The little girl nodded, pulled Gu Ci and hurriedly changed her clothes.

Concubine Lan Gui and the little girl both love to watch fireworks, so the empress naturally had to wait for the two to come over before ordering them to be released. The empress did not end the dinner until she received the news that someone had set off from Fengqi Palace, and brought Le Jia and Baiguan to the tower go.

Gu Ci and his group went to the tower first, and when they saw the empress coming, after saluting, their family naturally took the leadership position.

With an order, the sky immediately brightened like daytime with the sound of "crackling".

Gu Ci and the little girl slowly intertwined their hands. Under the gorgeous fireworks, the two looked at each other and smiled, "Sister, next year will be even better."

"Yes, next year will be better."

The next year will be better than the previous year.

Isn't that how our days are lived?
