Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang'an City.The residents of Chang'an City are busy today.The last seven or eight days of the year are always the busiest days for people.This is especially true on Chinese New Year's Eve.Compared with previous years, the residents of Chang'an City have been particularly busy this year.Because there is an additional item added compared to previous years, that is, sticking Spring Festival couplets.On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Wude, only Zhao Yunze's family posted the Spring Festival.But last year, on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of Zhenguan, many high-ranking masters in Chang'an City also learned from Zhao Yunze's family to post the Spring Festival, and even the imperial palace was no exception.The red Spring Festival couplets were pasted at the door, and they were festive when they looked at it.What's more, the content of the Spring Festival couplets and the calligraphy also show the talent of the owner.Naturally, no one is left behind.Even Li Shimin was amused, not this year, the residents of Chang'an City all followed the example of those high-ranking families last year and posted Spring Festival couplets.At Zhao Yunze's house in Huaide Fang, Qin Ping is also directing the people in the family to post Spring Festival couplets.Other people's Spring Festival couplets were written by the head of the family himself, but Zhao Yunze's family was not, but Li Shimin wrote them and sent someone to send them.After the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, Qin Ping went to report to Qin Mo'er."
Madam, the Spring Festival couplets have been pasted, do you want to go out and have a look" Qin Ping said to Qin Mo'er.At that time, Qin Mo'er was sitting in the study, looking out the window in a daze.Even Xiao Zhao Wu, who was crawling around on the ground, didn't care about taking care of it.The corners of Qin Mo'er's eyes were wet, obviously she had just cried.Hearing Qin Ping's words, Qin Mo'er wiped the corners of her eyes, and said without turning her head: "Don't go and watch, Lang Jun hasn't returned home, and it's not interesting to live this year." ”"Lang Jun should be back soon" Qin Ping didn't know how to comfort Qin Mo'er, so he had to say so.Qin Mo'er smiled bitterly and said, "Lang Jun has been away from home for almost three months, and it's time to come back after counting the days."
But tonight is the New Year, but the ruthless man has not returned, even if he comes back tomorrow, what will he do" "Alas, Lang Jun is also loyal to his mission, and Madame needs to be more considerate" Qin Ping sighed and said."
Go ahead, I'll be fine."
Qin Ping walked towards Xiao Zhao Wu and said, "Young Master Wu, will I take you out to ride a wooden horse" "Ride a big horse" Xiao Zhao Wu shouted in a milky voice, got up from the ground, and staggered towards Qin Ping with open arms.Xiao Zhao Wu is already one and a half years old, born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, those eyebrows, eyes, and lips, which are simply carved out of the same mold as Zhao Yunze.Qin Ping hugged Xiao Zhao Wu and left the study, and Qin Mo'er was stunned again.Qin Mo'er's unhappiness also infected everyone in the family.The Spring Festival is a day of reunion, but Zhao Yunze, who is the head of the family this year, is not at home, and the people of the Zhao family are a little lost.That good-natured Langjun, on the Chinese New Year's Eve night of the previous year, took everyone to guess riddles, play cards, and sing and tell jokes to everyone, and the family was so lively.But this year, there is really not much flavor this year.It was soon evening.The subordinates of the Zhao family also began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.But for the atmosphere of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the people really have no bottom in their hearts.Qin Mo'er is a person who is not good at hiding her mood.On weekdays, maybe she is not so sad, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, other people's families are laughing, the family is happy together, how can she not envy and miss Zhao Yunze If Mrs. is not happy, then who can be happy in this big family" Madam, someone from the palace" Zhao Wen, who served as the doorman today, suddenly ran into the backyard in a panic, shouting loudly while running.Qin Mo'er's bedroom door opened.Qin Mo'er walked out of the room."
At this time, someone from the palace is doing something" Qin Mo'er was full of doubts."
It's someone from the queen's palace, Madame, go and greet you."
Zhao Wen said.Qin Mo'er hurriedly went back to the bedroom, tidied up her clothes and makeup for a while, and then came to the front yard to greet the people from the palace."
Mrs.
Zhao, the queen sent a slave to take Mrs. into the palace for the New Year."
One of the eunuchs at the head said to Qin Mo'er."
What, the queen wants me to enter the palace for the New Year" Qin Mo'er was surprised."
Actually, this is what Your Majesty meant.His Majesty said that Lord Zhao was running around for the country outside, and his wife was lonely at home, so it was better to go to the palace together and accompany the queen to celebrate the New Year. ”The eunuch said."
Then, father-in-law, please wait a moment and let me go and change my clothes."
Qin Mo'er said."
The queen mother said, the lady is free to do it, and there is no need to wear orders."
The eunuch said, "In addition, the queen also said that she wanted her to bring Zhao Hao, a man from Shicheng County, into the palace together. ”Half an hour after the dividing line, Qin Mo'er took Xianglan and Musk Yu, two maids, and Xianglan hugged Xiao Zhao Wu and came to the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace.In the Ganlu Palace, a banquet has been arranged, and Li Yuan and Li Shimin sit together on the main seat.In the hall, Li Yuan's concubines and children and Li Shimin's concubines and children were full.The co-author royal also has to eat Chinese New Year's Eve."
Concubine Zhao Qin, meet the Emperor and Your Majesty."
Note: The self-title of "concubine" was originally used by the courtier's wife when she faced the king.The harem concubines called themselves "concubines" to the king."
Hehe, Mo'er, please get up quickly, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to make this big gift."
Li Yuan stroked his gray beard with one hand and said with a smile.Every time he saw Qin Mo'er, Lao Lao Li would think of his daughter Princess Pingyang, who died early.For Qin Mo'er, Li Yuan also likes it very much.If Zhao Yunze was here, he would find that Li Yuan's complexion was much better than a year ago.This is also his physical reflection after quitting the pill.Qin Mo'er thanked her and got up, Li Yuan saw Xiao Zhao Wu at once, and hurriedly said, "Mo'er, your child is more than a year old, but this is the first time I have seen it."
Hurry up and pick it up, so I can take a good look. ”Qin Mo'er took Xiao Zhao Wu from Xianglan's arms, and took a few steps forward and sent him to Li Yuan's arms.Li Yuan couldn't take care of Qin Mo'er anymore, and teased Xiao Zhao Wu vigorously.Xiao Zhao Wu didn't recognize his life at all, and was amused by Li Yuan and giggled.Looking at the old and the young enjoying themselves, Li Shimin showed a knowing smile.But the concubines in the palace who have children are envious and jealous.Empress Eldest Sun sat at the front of the hall, she got up and walked to Qin Mo'er's side, took Qin Mo'er's hand and said, "Mo'er, you sit with the palace." ”"This concubine has a humble status, how dare she sit with the queen."
Li Shimin said: "Today is a family banquet, there are not so many rules, and Mo'er doesn't have to be formal, just sit with the queen." ”"Concubine thank Your Majesty and Empress Mother Longen" After Qin Mo'er took her seat, the royal Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also held.Ten days later, Zhao Yunze returned to Chang'an, and when he heard that Li Shimin had let Qin Mo'er enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve for the New Year, he thought in his heart that Li Shimin would be a man.The fatigue of months of running around seems to have lightened a lot
