Chapter 1283 [Updated on July 8] That's Not What You Said Last Night

Concubine Qing really kept her word. Three days later, after three days of fasting, she walked out from the inner wall of Yikun Palace with her face still red and swollen.

The servants hurriedly prepared meals for her.

Concubine Qing was so hungry that her eyes were dizzy, and she couldn't care about her image, so she ate her food so much that her mouth was full of oil.

And Concubine Qing will celebrate the Chinese New Year within a few days after fasting.

On New Year's Eve, it was a rare year for Fourth Master not to stay in Yongshou Palace for so many years, so it was a little deserted.

However, he didn't go to other places in the harem to watch the new year.

Instead, after handling political affairs and holding various annual banquets, he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review the memorials.

Luckily, Ruoyin's Yongshou Palace had three elder brothers accompanying her.

Even if Fourth Master wasn't there, it was more lively than other places in the harem.

Because the officials will enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings in the early morning of the next day.

And as a queen, she has to accept the worship of the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the fourth master.

So, when the time for watching the new year came, she sent the children back to elder brother's place to rest.

And she herself rested under the service of her servants.

The next day, before dawn, Ruoyin changed into a Jifu under Banmei's service.

After dressing up, she went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a phoenix chariot.

When we got there, hundreds of high tables had already been set up outside the hall.

The princes and ministers had already taken their seats outside the palace and waited.

The eunuch on the steps saw her and said loudly: "The empress is here!"

Just as she was stepping on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she heard a voice singing from behind: "The emperor is here."

Then, there was a burst of whips and drums outside the hall.

So the officials began to salute the two of them.

Ruoyin turned his head and saluted the fourth master who was going down the chariot.

After fourth master got off the chariot, he went straight to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When passing by her side, he just raised his hand meaningfully, and sat down on the dragon chair at the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

She was used to fourth master's indifferent attitude.

These days, no matter where they met, fourth master never said a word to her.

With so many people present, it was hard for her to show anything, but she just followed him and sat down on the phoenix chair beside him.

Fourth master said the auspicious words first, and then Ruoyin.

Following the princes and ministers, they bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the two of them.

Then, according to the status of princes and ministers, they rewarded purses of different weights.

After the princes and ministers dispersed, Ruoyin and fourth master formed an arrangement in Qianqing Palace again.

And those who participated in this game were the harem concubines who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In the Forbidden City, where there are women, there is competition for favor.

Taking advantage of this day, the concubines in the harem dressed in red and green and took their seats next.

When Ruoyin and fourth master arrived at Qianqing Palace, all the concubines in the harem had already arrived.

In fact, the nature of this round is similar to that of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

It's just that the Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the princes and ministers send New Year greetings to her and the fourth master.

As for the Qianqing Palace, the concubines in the harem gave her and the fourth master New Year greetings.

Similarly, after she and fourth master spoke, they rewarded them with purses.

After finishing the matter, the fourth master sent the harem concubines away.

After they all left, she also stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, this concubine is going back to Yongshou Palace first."

After speaking, she got up and walked out.

However, as soon as she turned around, she heard the report from the eunuch outside: "Elder brother and second elder brother are here!"

The next moment, a hearty boy's voice sounded outside the courtyard.

"Emperor Niang, my son and elder brother went to Yongshou Palace to look for you, but you were not there. Then we went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but you were still not there. Eldest brother said that you might be in Qianqing Palace, but I didn't realize that you were really here .”

It was the second elder brother Hongxiu who said this.

He saw the servants of Yongshou Palace outside, and they were chattering there before entering the house.

As for his son's voice, Ruoyin recognized it immediately.

The second elder brother is always bluffing, and he heard his voice before he saw him.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the elder brother brought the second elder brother to her.

Behind them was a servant, who was the nanny who was holding the fifth elder brother.

The second elder brother originally wanted to throw himself into Ruoyin's arms.

As a result, when he saw fourth master sitting behind Ruoyin, he immediately stopped.

The joyful expression on his face also restrained.

After the two entered the room, they greeted each other respectfully: "Good luck, Huang Ama and Huang Erniang."

"Get up." Fourth master said.

Although Ruoyin had an awkward fight with fourth master, he still gave fourth master enough face in front of the children.

After the fourth master spoke, she supported an elder brother with one hand, "Get up, it's cold on the ground."

Moreover, she also took the fifth elder brother from the slave's arms, and sat down again holding the fifth elder brother.

"Thank you Empress Ama, Queen Empress."

When the children came, Ruoyin would not be able to leave for a while.

Anyway, the two elder brothers came to pay New Year's greetings to her and fourth master.

She couldn't just leave the two of them and go back to Yongshou Palace.

Since it was a New Year's greeting, Ruoyin and fourth master rewarded the two children with purses as usual.

The elder brother put away his purse and sat in the armchair in the room, his body straightened.

The appearance of sitting upright is very much like the fourth master.

The second elder brother is a lively person. After he collected the purse, his eyes rolled around.

He first glanced at the environment and furnishings in the room.

Then he turned to Ruoyin secretly, and then took a sneak look at fourth master.

Ruoyin first teased the fifth elder brother in his arms.

Then, she looked up at the elder brother and the second elder brother.

These two sons are growing up day by day.

She is a mother-in-law, but she can't understand any of them.

Eldest brother is just like fourth master, with deep thoughts.

He is obviously still a young boy, but he is always steady like an adult.

The second elder brother is just the opposite, he is mischievous.

But there are a lot of other people's ghost ideas.

Many times, she is a little uncertain.

Just when Ruoyin thought so, he heard the second elder brother ask in a low voice: "Huang Ama, in previous years, you stayed with Huang Erniang and us in Yongshou Palace to watch the new year, why not this year?"

Hearing this, Ruoyin twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that this is something you, a brat, should not worry about.

However, this kid was smart and didn't ask aggressive questions.

Instead, he had an aggrieved and sad expression, like a little boy who lacked the love of his father.

I don't know who taught it, and who it followed.

Ruoyin first took a look at Fourth Master, and saw Fourth Master's cold and strict father, she pulled out an embarrassed smile, and quickly smoothed things over: "Second Elder Brother, what are you talking about, your Huang Ama is too busy with political affairs .”

"Emperor Niang, that's not what you said last night." The second elder brother looked aggrieved for his Er Niang.

ah? Ruoyin raised his eyebrows to recall.

When she watched the new year last night, she didn't say anything other than asking them to study hard in the new year and make progress every day?

For some reason, even though she didn't understand what this kid was playing, she always felt that he must be coming up with something else.

Just when Ruoyin was wondering, the fourth master beside her asked, "Second elder brother, why don't you tell me, what did your mother-in-law say last night?"
