The New Year's Eve banquet is usually the busiest time of the year in the palace.
Everywhere in the palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The words "Fu" are pasted on the door, cut flowers are pasted on the windows, and the bright red brocade silk reflects the ice and snow, making it look...
Extraordinarily bright.
Xie Ning was sitting next to the emperor.
For an occasion like today, she was wearing a bright yellow imperial concubine's uniform, and she was dressed extremely luxuriously and gracefully.
The imperial concubine, who was sitting upright, covered up her yawning by holding the wine.
This action was invisible to others, but the emperor saw it for sure.
"tired" Xie Ning whispered: "I'm not tired, the palace is a little stuffy."
Isn’t it boring?
There are so many people here, and it’s so hot just for the sake of warmth.
It feels like every breath you take is filled with stale air.
She spoke so quietly that only the emperor could hear her.
Even Qing He could only see her lips moving slightly.
"Have someone open the long west window.
We have to watch the fireworks later anyway."
"No."
Although she was comfortable with the window open, those sitting near the long window would suffer.
In the severe cold weather at this time, the north wind can blow through people in a short time.
Not to mention that the silk cotton jackets and fur jackets they were wearing might not be of the best quality.
Even if they were the best, they couldn't withstand such a wind.
If we stay up for a while, the fireworks will be set off in half an hour, which is when the New Year's banquet is over.
The emperor glanced at her.
Needless to say, he knew the reason why Xie Ning refused to open the window.
The emperor motioned Bai Hongqi to move the small plate of soy sauce chicken and melon seeds in front of him to Xie Ning: "Try this, it's sour and refreshing."
Compared with other dishes on the table, this one is refreshing and refreshing.
Bai Hongqi moved the dishes and silently stepped back.
If it weren't for an occasion like the New Year's Banquet, the emperor would have wanted to take the food and feed it to the concubine's mouth no matter how he came forward, rendering the hero Bai Eunuch useless.
But looking further away, looking at the colorful concubines in the palace, Eunuch Bai immediately regained his psychological balance.
These beauties are more eager and eager to "show off their skills" in front of the emperor than Grand Eunuch Bai, but it is a pity that they rarely have the opportunity.
Speaking of which, next year seems to be the year of the draft again.
The emperor does not like to waste people and money, and he also knows that many civilians were afraid of the draft before.
The eunuchs and officials in charge of the selection had too many ways to manipulate this matter, which not only disturbed the people, but even harmed them, so the previous drafts They had already selected a place not far from the capital.
The emperor was very busy when he chose the imperial concubine, so Concubine Shu made the decision to choose it in the south.
In fact, Concubine Shu's plan is easy to guess.
She is simply afraid that if she chooses a girl near the capital, other high-ranking families will send their daughters to the palace, so she would rather choose girls from ordinary families with no foundation.
I don’t know if Concubine Shu knew better than Izumi and remembered that she had to be the master this time and ended up choosing the concubine.
Would she regret it now?
Several princes and princesses just kowtowed to the emperor during the banquet and then were taken back.
Mrs.
Fang didn't like such an occasion and didn't show her face.
Others were fine, but Cao Shunrong's eyes widened when he saw Princess Yubing being carried in.
Princess Yubing was in trouble this time, and she didn't get sick again.
During the New Year, she wore a bright red dress like her sister and brother, but her hair was quite yellow and thin, and she couldn't style it into double braids like Princess Yubing.
It would also look too sparse and funny if she wanted to style it into two braids, so Mrs.

Fang let her Someone made a soft hat for her.
It was fluffy and had colorful flowers on the black base.
Putting it on made Princess Yubin look good and she looked in good spirits.
How could Cao Shunrong feel at peace in his heart?
His eyes longed to be glued to Princess Yubin.
When the wet nurses and ministers led the princes and princesses out, it took a long time for Cao Shunrong to come back to his senses.
She was itching with hatred in her heart.
If someone hadn't caused trouble, Princess Yubing would have lived in her Elegant Villa by now.
And since she has to take care of the princess, she must be sitting next to the emperor and the concubine at this moment, so why is she being left aside indifferently like now?
Not to mention this year's Jin Feng, if she hadn't been plotted, she might have been Cao Fei's empress by now.
The more Cao Shunrong thought about it, the uglier his face became, and the eyes on his left and right became more unkind.
Chen Jieyu also came today.
She was still wrapped up thickly from head to toe and had nothing to eat except two cups of hot tea.
Gao Jieyu noticed it and asked her softly: "You are not feeling well, so go back early."
"I'm recovering much better these days."
That's why Could it be that he was poisoned at the last New Year's Eve banquet, was bitten by a snake, and was afraid of ropes for ten years, so he dared not touch anything today.
"The food on the table is either cold or greasy, and it cannot be digested after eating it.
When I came here, I had people make porridge.
When I get back, I will drink a bowl of it.
It is warm and moist, and it does not hurt the stomach.
Gao Sister, you should take better care of yourself.
When I reach this point, I realize that everything else is empty and that my body is better than anything else."
Hearing what she said, Gao Jieyu couldn't help but sigh.
"You are right, if people like us don't feel sorry for ourselves, how can we expect others to feel sorry for us?"
When Chen Jieyu was in the palace, her appearance could be said to be one of the best.
When the imperial concubine was just emerging, she was even compared with her.
But now the imperial concubine is like a peony in full bloom, her beauty is heavenly and fragrant, and her radiance is simply hard to look at.
But Chen Jieyu was like a fallen flower that had been exposed to the frost, her face was withered and haggard, and she was no longer the same as before.
Living together like this shows how cruel life in the palace is.
Looking at Cao Shunrong's gloomy look, Gao Jieyu didn't even bother to look at her.
Cao Shunrong was originally born pretty and pretty, but after an illness and the resentment he now harbors in his heart, his face looked...
With this look, even if the emperor still had the idea of letting her raise the princess, he would immediately give up the idea.
Mrs.
Fang took good care of the princess so well, so why bother bothering her with the child?
Gao Jieyu heard about it, because the princess had a good life in Fuhui Hall, and having the princess there relieved Mrs.
Fang's loneliness, so Princess Yubing will never change her place again, and will be raised in Fuhui Hall from now on.
This is a good thing for Mrs.
Fang and Princess Yubin.
Princess Yubing lost her biological mother, and having Mrs.
Fang take care of her and educate her would be of great benefit to her future reputation and status.
After all, Mrs.
Fang's identity is almost an open secret.
If she takes care of and raises her, will the future of the princess be bad?
No matter how much Cao Shunrong gritted his teeth, he could not change this fact.
While Gao Jieyu looked down on her, he also felt a little pity for her in his heart, and of course he was too lazy to argue with her.

"There will be fireworks tonight."
Chen Jieyu glanced at the direction of the palace door: "I still remember when I was watching the fireworks one year before I entered the palace, I didn't step on the stairs properly when I went up to the city, and one of my shoes fell off."
"Yes, I heard that this year's fireworks are particularly unique and very interesting
