The glorious spring scene of the Red House

On the first day of the first lunar month, the queen needs to be congratulated by her concubine in the Jiaotai Hall.

As a high-ranking female official, Cui Siji also needs to serve in Jiaotai Hall.

When Yu Xing went back to the room, Cui Siji had already put on a lot of make-up and put on the gown neatly, and there was also a court lady helping Cui Siji comb his hair and put on his clothes.

After all, Yu Xing is small and short, and his current stature can't help Cui Siji dress up at all, and the reverse is almost the same.

Cui Siji faced the mirror, and only rolled his eyes to look at Yu Yu: "Go to sleep first, today is the first day of the new year, I should have given you a day off. When you wake up, if I am free, I will take you Walk around."

Yu Yan is full of joy, staying in one place all day is really boring, and being able to go to different places to see can always make people happy.

"Thank you Si Ji, then you have to come back early, I'll be waiting for you..." Yu Yan said expectantly.

It was not yet dawn, but the fourth watch drum had already sounded, Cui Siji wanted to go to Jiaotai Hall with Liu Shang and a group of colleagues.

Yu Xing simply washed up and went to bed, and when she woke up, she changed into a new outfit, waiting for Cui Siji to come back and take her out for a walk.

After Cui Siji came back, he changed into the clothes he usually wore, and really took Yu Xing out for a walk.In fact, it's just a visit to other bureaus, sit down and chat for a few words, and eat some melon and fruit snacks by the way.

Yu Xing didn't need to say anything, just smiled and sweetened his mouth with snacks.

Cui Siji took Yu Xun to several places, and then went to handle some matters, and Yu Xun was also dragged to work.

In order to maintain the normal operation of this huge palace, the palace people below had to work hard every day.Busy for seven or eight days, and soon it was the Shangyuan Festival. Colorful tassels and palace lanterns of various colors were hung in the palace, glass, horns, or silk, or yarn, or silk, embroidered, painted, woven...

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the master of the palace held a banquet in Daming Palace, and there were troupes, juggling, dancing and music to add to the fun.At night, when the moon was in the sky, fireworks were set off on the square in front of the palace.

The interior of Shangyi Bureau is also newly decorated, and lanterns of various colors are hung high.

There are two red velvet flowers on Yu Yan's head, and a gold collar around his neck. No matter how cold it is outside, he sits on the porch with a group of little maids, covering his ears with his hands, raising his head high and looking at the sky. Blooming bouquets of flowers.

He Xiangxiang leaned close to Yu Yan to keep each other warm, and when she saw a good-looking one, she would point her finger.

"This place is still too far away, and some of them can't be seen."

"It's good to see it. After the fireworks are over, let's go eat glutinous rice balls."

"When I was outside the palace, my father would make me a rabbit lantern, with a rope in his hand, and I could drag it on the ground. But... the lanterns in this palace are still beautiful."

In order to choose the best angle to watch the fireworks, a group of little maids are mostly crowded together, just like this, it's so lively when you talk to each other.

Although the night was not yet deep, it was logically already time to go to bed on weekdays, but the nurse in charge did not urge these little maids to go back to their rooms, but continued to let them play.

After the fireworks in the sky were extinguished and no new fireworks were launched for a long time, a group of little maids went back to their rooms with still unfinished business.

"This is much more beautiful than what you see outside the palace. It looks like a real peony flower. When it blooms in the sky, it seems to be daytime." He Xiangxiang said enthusiastically, obviously very happy.

To be honest, Yu Yan has seen fireworks in modern times, only they are more exquisite and grander than what he sees now.But so what?Is she afraid she will never see it again?

Yu Yu arrived at the room one step ahead of He Xiangxiang, then stopped, and said, "I'm here, and you should go back to your room early to rest in the Age of Heavenly Kings."

"Where can I sleep, my eyes are full of those beautiful fireworks just now, I really want to watch them again."

Yu Yan's ears were almost callused, and he said quickly: "I read Si Jisi's archives, when His Majesty lives long, as usual, fireworks will be set off, and you will be able to see it again at that time."

"Why haven't I seen it? You saw it there, let me have a look tomorrow." Fortunately, He Xiangxiang didn't lose her mind and knew that someone had already fallen asleep at this time. Go back to your room and rest.

In such a festival, little court ladies like Yu Yan have to watch the fireworks, while Cui Siji is busy from morning to night.

But no matter how late it was, it was time to come back when the fifth watch drum sounded.

The long-formed biological clock made Yu Xing wake up on time, but before Yu Xing got dressed, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Standing outside, Cui Siji breathed a sigh of relief seeing Yu Yan staying in the room well.

"Hurry up and get dressed and come out, Lu Shangyi wants someone."

Cui Siji's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Yu Yu hurriedly speeded up, pulled her hair up three times and then went out to follow the flow of people.

It was clearly still in the New Year's Eve, but the faces of those in charge showed a bit of dignity.

The swaying lanterns in the corridor lost some color without the candlelight.

The directors of each department hold a roster in their hands to count the personnel. If anyone hesitates to respond, they will be questioned.

In the Shangyi Bureau, there are quite a few people.

Before everyone figured out what was going on, Lu Shangyi told everyone to break up again, so what to do.

Yu Xun was still walking with the crowd, but looking at the faces of the crowd, it seemed that some of them knew what happened, and it was a big deal.

In the afternoon, an even more shocking news came out. His Majesty ordered that two Shangshi, a cook, and some palace ladies and servants from the Shangshi Bureau go to guard the tomb as soon as the first month comes out.

As soon as this decree came out, everyone in the palace trembled, for fear that such a thing would happen to him.

Yu Yu originally thought that he would know what happened soon, but those who didn't know still didn't know, and those who knew were all kept secretive.

Cui Siji, on the other hand, watched Yu Xun more closely, and reminded Yu Xun not to walk around casually, and if he leaves the Shangyi Bureau, he must go with others.

This is nothing at all, but it seems particularly strange to say these things during the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, Yu Yan's curiosity is not particularly strong, she will do what Cui Siji says.Besides, the chances of her getting out of Shangyi Bureau are very rare.Yu Yan only regarded it as a trivial matter, but it would pass soon.

But the impact of the Lantern Festival incident is far more than that.

Although Yu Yan didn't know what happened that day, but just after the first month, another big event happened in the palace, something that couldn't be hidden.

In February, when the dragon raises its head, in order to bless a good harvest, folks will hold grand sacrificial activities on this day.And the emperor of this dynasty will also cultivate himself to show an example.

But today, since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my health has been slightly ill, and the soup and medicine have continued.Today, a decree was sent down to let the prince go on his behalf.

It is meaningless for the officials to let the crown prince do the work for them. After all, the crown prince will be the emperor in the future.

But the bad thing is that the prince made a mistake in the daily lottery system during the spring plowing ceremony.

The crown prince wore a full set of dress, and the jade belt around his waist was also very gorgeous. The jade belt was originally given in vain.During the sacrificial ceremony, the jade belt kept swinging following the movements of the prince, and hung on the tripod used for offering sacrifices to heaven, but it still couldn't be untied.

According to the usual practice, when offering sacrifices to heaven, only the crown prince can be in front, and officials are not allowed to go forward if they have nothing to do.

Therefore, the officials could only stand silently and anxiously, wondering if the prince could untie the jade belt quickly and continue the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

It's a pity that things backfired, the prince couldn't untie the jade belt from the tripod no matter what, and finally used brute force to tear off the jade belt rope that was hooked to the tripod.

Such a gaffe, appearing in such a solemn sacrificial ceremony, is simply disrespectful to the heavens.After the sacrificial ceremony was over, a censor went home to pick up a pen and read a book for the prince.

Today, there is no need to read the playbook at all. Before the crown prince returned to the palace, he had received the message from the commander of Jin Yiwei.

What kind of reaction did the Lord have when he heard this matter, no one knows except the people in Daming Palace.But as soon as the prince returned to the palace, he received an order from Jinshang to let him think about his mistakes in the East Palace. If nothing happened, everyone in the East Palace would not leave the East Palace.

The Minister of Taichang Temple who was in charge of the sacrifice was also fined for half a year.

The poor prince is nearly forty years old, his son is almost at the age of marrying a wife, and he is still being controlled by his father like this.

The emperor was furious, and it was the people below who suffered.Today, in addition to making the prince think about his mistakes, he also went to the end with the maids around the prince, and replaced them all with newcomers.

If they were on duty in the Eastern Palace on weekdays, many people would have to fight for their heads, but now everyone knows that today's emperor hates the crown prince, so no one is rushing to serve the crown prince.

However, the scheduling of personnel in the palace has always been subject to the unified arrangement of the Shang Palace Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ordinary palace people have no right to say no.

Fortunately, this time, no one from Sijisi was transferred to the East Palace, which is probably considered a good thing.

It's not halfway through February, and Yu Yan finally knows what happened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.It's just that that incident was so disgusting that after Yu Yan heard it, he vomited all over the place on the spot.

The weather in February is changeable, one day is cold and the other is hot. Although this day is a bit hot, Yu Yu is still wearing a thick winter coat.

He Xiangxiang held a needlework in her hand, and sat on the porch with Yu Yan to do some simple needlework.

"It's only been one winter, and the skirts I wore last spring looked too short. Fortunately, there was room for the skirts I gave at the beginning, so I can wear them now." He Xiangxiang complained slightly.

Yu Yan also wanted to put the skirt away, although she didn't grow much, but last year's skirt was not suitable for her.

"The shoes I'm wearing are a little too small, shouldn't I get two new pairs?" Yu Yan whispered.

He Xiangxiang kept threading needles and threads with her hands, without raising her head, she said: "My shoes are a bit small, but I can wear them again with the insoles. If you really can't wear your shoes, I will give you my shoes first." , you put two pairs of insoles inside to deal with it."

Both Yu Yu and He Xiangxiang are growing up, but the direction of growth is somewhat different.

Yu Xi put down her needlework and looked up at He Xiangxiang. Even though He Xiangxiang was wearing a heavy winter coat, she couldn't hide her gradually bulging breasts and increasingly slender waist, and her face gradually became thinner, with clear lines.

As for Yu Yan himself, although he is growing taller, he has a tendency to develop horizontally.The small face is chubby, with a lot of flesh on the body, and the insteps are getting wider and thicker, but fortunately it looks a little round at best.

Yu Yu didn't let it develop, and gradually began to control his food intake.But her slightly fatter appearance now is a little more festive, which makes her more likable.
