Chapter 1019 It's a New Year's Eve Together

Then speak in order of seniority and youthfulness.

Originally, when children speak, they are either well-behaved or childlike.

But at the time of Ergege, the style of speaking was a bit wrong.

When Ruoyin stood up from Ergege, he looked at Ergege's eyes shining.

Sure enough, before Er Gege could speak, his face and big round eyes were full of innocence and helplessness.

She opened her small fleshy mouth, and said obediently, "Daughter, I wish Emma Huang good health, good luck and peace in the four seasons in the new year..."

Originally, the little girl said it very well at the beginning.

But as he was talking, he stopped and stood there frowning.

A look that I can't even remember after racking my brains.

In the end, she really couldn't remember, so she said softly: "Huang Ama... Er Niang is not around to teach, my daughter has forgotten what to say next."

All the adults and children in the room turned their attention to Er GeGe.

Concubine Wen is not here, so Fourth Master, the Empress, naturally wants to say a few words.

After all, it was his daughter, and she couldn't let others see the joke.

He looked at Er Gege and said casually: "This child is not like this on weekdays."

After Si Ye said that, the others naturally laughed and praised Er Ge Ge to ease the embarrassment.

"Children, it's normal to forget."

"Yeah, Er Gege is young, but he is not restrained, which is already pretty good."

"Isn't it? You can still say a few auspicious words, unlike this one in my family, who dare not say a word when seeing so many people, just hide in my arms."

"How old is Er Gege, it's not easy to stand in the middle and speak in front of so many grown-ups."

"..."

Some members of the royal family, as well as noble ladies, spoke among the gang.

However, when everyone praised Er Gege politely, Er Gege suddenly knelt down like that.

Everyone thought she was sensible enough to apologize for forgetting her congratulatory speech.

Unexpectedly, she did something more sensible.

Ergege's eyes were red, and he pleaded with the fourth master: "Huang Ama, my mother-in-law is always gentle, and her body is weak. The temple is deserted, and there is not enough food and clothing. If it is cold today, she can't even burn charcoal fire." No, if this continues, the body will collapse. So, can you let the empress put my mother back to Zhongcui Palace, so that my daughter can celebrate the New Year with her. "

As soon as the voice fell, Fourth Master's originally easy-going face suddenly turned cold.

If the adults saw fourth master like this, they would tremble with fright and dare not speak.

But Er Gege only trembled slightly, then turned to look at Ruoyin, "Emperor Niang, you have always been generous to others, can you do me a favor this time, my daughter begs you to let my Er Niang go back to Zhongcui Palace. Because in previous years, during the Spring Festival, Er Niang would accompany her daughter to celebrate the New Year, without her this year, my daughter...has a hard time."

It's like she's a child who doesn't care about her mother.

There are two interpretations of the phrase "it's hard to live".

Those who don't think much think that Da Gege and Concubine Wen are deeply in love with each other.

Without Concubine Wen by my side, the Chinese New Year would not be lively and happy.

But those thoughtful people would think that Ruoyin neglected Er Gege and made Er Gege live a poor life.

After all, in the Qing Dynasty, the first wife is also the second mother.

In a situation like Er Gege's, if Concubine Wen isn't around, she, the mother-in-law, will take care of everything for her.

At this moment, Ruoyin looked at Er Gege who was kneeling in the hall.

He was actually only wearing a thin light purple flag dress, which looked old, as if it had been worn for several years.

There is a small comb on the head, and there are only a few plain and dirty hairpin flowers pinned to it.

Apart from this, there is no other valuable jewelry.

You know, today is a grand day, and all the royals and nobles who come to participate.

Anyone who participated in this royal family banquet was wearing newly made clothes.

The men are dressed in rich clothes.

Women mostly like red clothes, which is festive.

Even Little Elder Brother and Little Gege, one by one, were all wearing newly made red coats, with a few red hairpins on their heads, beaming with joy.

But Er Gege is the emperor's daughter.

The clothes this time are actually even more shabby than the children of the royal family.

Coupled with the words of her kneeling in the middle of the hall, which was so pitiful that her mother didn't hurt her, it seemed that Ruoyin, the mother-in-law, had treated her badly.

However, when it was the new year's eve, Ruoyin approved the Ministry of Internal Affairs to distribute some New Year's expenses to each palace according to their status.

Food and clothing are several percent higher than usual.

In each palace, a lot of satin was rewarded, which was used to make new clothes.

Especially Er Gege, she thought that since the child is young and Wen Concubine is not around, those snobbish servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely treat Er Gege harshly.

Therefore, she specially ordered Banmei to go to the House of Internal Affairs to collect the fee and send it to Zhongcui Palace.

Not to mention these things, Er Gege has received many rewards in recent years.

No matter what you say, you can't dress so poorly on New Year's Eve.

Unless Er Gege did it on purpose!

Thinking of this, Ruoyin sneered in his heart.

It seems that Er Gege is not only very clever on weekdays, but also very clever today.

But she also knew that Er Gege was just a child, so naturally she wouldn't deliberately do this on this occasion.

Looking at Er Gege's clever appearance, it seems that the adults have deliberately taught him.

But this is not to blame for the children, it can only be blamed for the adults who teach "too well".

Ruoyin held his lips, and was about to deal with Er Gege.

But before she could say a word, she heard the fourth master on the side say calmly: "Ergege, you should know that your mother-in-law committed a crime, and that's why she was confined in the Taimiao."

"Daughter knows." Er Gege looked like he wanted to cry, but he was holding back his tears pitifully, and he seemed very sensible.

"Now that you know, you're still here begging for mercy on your mother's behalf. Is this to make your mother-in-law break the rules of the harem?" Fourth Master said seriously.

The meaning of this is obvious.

It wasn't that Ruoyin didn't let Wen Bin go, but that she couldn't break the rules.

"But...but daughter..." Er Gege probably didn't expect Fourth Master to say this to her.

At this moment, no matter how clever she is, she can't handle such a sharp topic.

But this is not over yet, the fourth master said again: "You live in the Zhongcui Palace, and your mother-in-law is grounded in the Taimiao. You can't visit her, and she can't see you. How do you know whether she is doing well or not?" of?"

If you think that the servants around Concubine Wen are useless, but seeing Concubine Wen is not around, she neglects Ergege, and even refuses to wear better clothes for her.

But now it seems that the child is wearing old clothes on purpose.

At this moment, Ruoyin sat aside and listened quietly.

At the same time, she applauded fourth master in her heart.

Fourth master's words both in and out, showed that even if Concubine Wen was grounded, she did not obey the rules and communicated with Er Gege in private.

It even meant to instigate Er GeGe.

And these words, spoken from fourth master's mouth, are better and more convincing than what she said by herself.

Most of the people in the royal family are human beings.

After what fourth master said, they probably understood something.

Er Gege was just a child, and when fourth master asked him such a question, he was so guilty that he couldn't lift his head up.

A small face was also flushed.

Seeing this, Ruoyin acted as a good person, and said in a meaningful way: "Your Majesty, Er Gege is still young, and it's the first time he's separated from Concubine Wen. It's only human to want to miss Concubine Wen."

Hearing this, fourth master glanced at Ruoyin from the corner of his eye.

"Ergege, you have to figure it out. Your mother made a mistake and was grounded. Naturally, she is not as comfortable as in Zhongcui Palace. No one treats her harshly. This is the punishment she should have."

Er Gege nodded, but his mouth was aggrieved.

The fourth master's long eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, he looked at Er Gege, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, today is New Year's Eve, since your mother-in-law pleaded for you, let's let go. But then , as long as your mother hasn't come back from the Taimiao for a day, you must not contact her secretly, otherwise, you will go to the Taimiao with your mother to reflect on your past."

Er Gege pursed his mouth and said in a low voice: "Daughter knows..."

It's just that I feel a little sad in my heart, because she messed up things.

"Okay, I think this child is hungry too, take her down and feed her some delicious food." Ruoyin ordered the servant in a timely manner.

After all, he is the heir of the emperor, and he is just a child.

In addition, today is a very good day, just teach me a few words.

Then, a court lady stepped forward and dragged Er Gege to have dinner.

These two princesses also know that those who celebrate the Chinese New Year cannot cry.

Even though he was taught by the fourth master in public, he didn't shed a single tear.

His eyes were red, and he looked like he was holding back tears.

Seeing this scene, Ruoyin laughed in his heart.

Concubine Wen, concubine Wen, probably wanted to take this opportunity to let Er Gege pull her out of the imperial temple.

The result was good, after this time, I'm afraid that the fourth master would be a little annoyed by Er Gege.

In the future, no matter how well she teaches Er Gege, the fourth master will be on guard.

After Er Gege was taken down, dancers came forward to sing and dance.

This reunion dinner also started with singing and dancing.

With dancing as an appreciation, naturally no one talks much.

Everyone just eats in peace.

And this reunion dinner ended in a hurry after an hour.

Because fourth master is still busy with the next internal banquet.

The fourth master and the queen mother, as the two people with the highest status in the royal family, were the first to leave.

Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin took the servants and left Qianqing Palace.

After the empress dowager and the empress had left the table, the crowd left one after another.

Ruoyin walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace and was about to get on the phoenix chariot.

He Zhongkang trotted over and slapped her in front of her, "Empress Empress, the emperor asked you to move to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

"The Hall of Supreme Harmony?" Ruoyin raised his eyebrows in surprise, isn't that the place where the inner banquet is held?

"The emperor said that he will be busy until very late today. You can just sit next to him. It can be regarded as watching the new year together."

Ruoyin glanced at He Zhongkang, nodded slightly, and replied lightly, "Got it."

So, she supported Mother Liu's hand and got on the phoenix chariot.

Li Fukang said sharply: "Move to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
