After rebirth, I made the princes cry

During the Lantern Festival, the palace was also in a festive atmosphere. Compared with the regular court meetings and ceremonies on the first day of the new year, the three-day Lantern Festival starting from the 13th day of the first lunar month was more like a celebration for the common people, that is, the curfew All have been temporarily cancelled. After nightfall, nobles and common people can visit the lantern festivals in various markets. His Majesty the Emperor can also go to Xuanyang Gate with his concubines, reward new year coins, give Yuan red wine, and watch the torch lights all over the city. Xuanyang In front of the gate, there are usually people who perform jiaoduan plays, gather to promote acrobatics, and use singing, dancing, stilts, illusions, etc. to add to the fun.

Yingshu also received a full three days of "family leave" starting from the 13th.

It has been a long time since she spent the Lantern Festival at home.

At this time in her previous life, she had already married into the Pei family. Even when she went out to visit the lantern market, she was with her husband's sister-in-law. The memory of those years was already very weak. She actually did not want to waste more time in reminiscing. However, as soon as Thirteen entered the house that day, he saw his father and mother waiting there. His eyes suddenly became sore that he ran in in two or three steps and immediately put his arms around A Niang's waist.

This time, Wang Dao came to the court to congratulate him. He couldn't hold it back and went directly to the Minister of the Central Military Commission, saying that he wanted to ask His Majesty to allow Ying Shu to return home for a few days during the new year. The Minister of the Central Government agreed and said that it was just a trivial matter. There are a lot of things in the palace during the Yuan Dynasty. During the Lantern Festival holiday, there will be less things in the palace. Your Majesty will definitely agree. Wang Dao returned home happily and couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Lu. The couple had been looking forward to Ying Shu's "return" since early in the morning. At this time, Wang Dao saw the tears in his daughter's eyes and his heart was in panic. He was not afraid of being overheard by the servant girl on the side, and said loudly: "Did you feel wronged in Qianyang Palace? No matter who wronged you, tell my father that he will seek justice for you, or else just I am writing to your Majesty that we will no longer work as female historians, and you don’t have to go back to the palace after the Lantern Festival."

Ying Shu just let go of her mother's waist, sniffed, and held her father's arm: "I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I picked Yehua to make wine after all, which made my father very angry. I was so angry that I almost got hit by a ruler, it was my mother-in-law’s love for me.”

"I'm not afraid that you will really pick off Ye Hua. If I don't know, you are just playing tricks on me."

Although there is no owner living in Xianyue Residence, peach charms are hung in front of the courtyard door, and the house is kept spotless. All the furnishings are arranged according to Ying Shu's preferences. The last time Ying Shu came home to live, she wrote a poem. When Mr. Lu saw it, he actually painted a picture based on the situation written in the poem. It has been framed and hung in the Nuan Pavilion.

Yingshu rested for a moment, then asked Qing Lao to do a new bun for her. Female officials in the palace all had fixed hairstyles, and it was rare for Yingshu to dress up according to her own wishes. She specially chose a gold-plated hairdo. Huasheng wore a ruby ​​​​pistil, and changed into a pine flower-colored coat and skirt. She was delicate and festive, and then she dressed up. Jiafu heard about Yingshu's return home and came over to talk about it.

"Just in time, Aniang and I are going to Prajnaju to have dinner with my grandmother. Sister Fu, please come with us."

The eldest mistress, Wen, loves peace and quiet, and would not normally let her daughter-in-law and granddaughters go to Prajna Residence to have dinner with her. However, it is the Chinese New Year after all, so lunch and dinner are served at Prajna Residence, but Jiafu is not considered Linyi after all. The serious granddaughter of the Wang family came to congratulate the great mistress on the first day of the year. She just went to kowtow in front of Prajna Palace. She had no intention of competing for honors and kept her sense of proportion in mind. But when Ying Shu invited her, she couldn't say no. words.

"Now among the daughters of Guangmingtang, only the sixth sister is still in the boudoir. Although grandma doesn't like to make noise, she still hopes to have a granddaughter under her knees to chat and laugh with her. It's time for sister Fu to go to Prajna Residence more often. I'll follow you "Grandma still has a lot of good things in her collection. The dress like mine is made of Mingguang brocade that I picked from my grandmother's private treasury."

Yingshu and Jiafu first went to Wuyouyuan to meet Lu and "brought" Wangdao. As soon as they arrived at Prajna Residence, they saw Shen and Li coming out with smiles on their faces. Li held Yingshu's arm and Then he went to the main hall: "Grandma just woke up from her nap, and she started talking about the fifth sister, saying that since His Majesty allowed the leave, she should go home as early as possible. How could she survive past noon? Later, she saw that my family and I had arrived. , let us go to Wuyouyuan to destroy the third aunt and the fifth sister."

After saying this, she realized that she had missed the third uncle. Li pursed her lips and did not make up for it. The third uncle was a very kind person and would not find fault with the younger generation.

Wang Dao knew that his nephews were all in the flower hall on one side at this time, and they would not go to the main hall until dinner time arrived. Logically, he should also go to the flower hall, lest he alone standing in the main hall would be too conspicuous and become a hindrance. , but Yingshu could only stay at home for two and a half days, and she couldn't always be in front of him. He had to cherish the time his daughter was in front of him.

So he followed him into the main hall.

While Mrs. Wen was listening to Mrs. Yao's ramble, she saw Mrs. Li coming in with Yingshu on her arm. She quickly waved to Yingshu: "Stop talking about those false etiquettes. Emperor Xiu, come over quickly and let grandma have a good look."

Yao was forced to "shut up", her eyelids drooped, and she secretly complained that Ying Shu had come at a bad time. She had just mentioned the beginning, saying that her elder brother had picked up a shop in the big market and had already gone to the dental shop. She decided to open a fragrant medicine store, and even hired a manager who knew the business. She also wanted to take a share, so that Jiji could get a share of the dividends, but she was short of money, so she turned to her mother-in-law. On top of her head, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wen, received a large sum of private money. If she persuaded her to lend her more shares, she would get even more dividends.

She just managed to take away her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Shen's mother-in-law, but she didn't expect that the third room would come so quickly.

"You are even thinner than the last time you came home." Mrs. Wen looked at Yingshu from head to toe, then "kneaded" her from shoulders to wrists, and sighed: "You are pampered at home, and you eat There is no limit on the amount of clothing. Unlike in the palace, I heard that the female historians in Qianyang Palace have to attend the morning court. Sometimes they can only eat in the morning when it is almost noon. There is no limit on the amount of medicinal food and soup. I'm afraid it will be We don’t even have goat’s milk, so we are really suffering.”

"Grandma, I haven't lost weight, I've grown taller. Look, I'm half a head taller than sister Fu." Yingshu pulled Jiafu over and showed her grandmother back to back.

Mrs. Wen paid attention to Jiafu and said with a smile: "Whose daughter is this? I have never seen it before. Let me take a closer look... She is a child with a bright face, good complexion and delicate features, but she is also thin." some."

Yao felt uncomfortable and took the opportunity to say weird things: "Of course the A family has never seen her before. She was originally the adopted daughter of the clan. She could not get close to the A family in the past. But after Wu Niang entered the palace, Di Fu felt that she was around her. Leng Qing really raised her as the daughter of the third wife. Now, many servants know that Jiafu is more honorable than serious masters like Erlang and Shilang."

The purpose of Mrs. Yao's words was nothing more than to arouse the anger in Mrs. Wen's heart. What Mrs. Wen cared about the most was that Mrs. Lu had not told Wang Dao that she would be "absolutely a queen" and even refused to give birth to a step-heir. Now she would rather treat a lowly slave-born It is simply ridiculous to raise a maid as a daughter.

Wang Dao was originally in a happy mood today and didn't even see Mrs. Yao standing in the main hall. Hearing a few strange words, he immediately got angry and snorted: "Since Fu'er is the adopted daughter of the clan, with Erlang and Erlang, What's the difference between Shiro? She's more likable than Erlang and Shiro. Is it her fault?"

Mrs. Wen glared at Wang Dao, then turned to smile at Jiafu: "Although you didn't come to me to say hello in the past, your maiden name was Jiafu, right? I have an impression. At that time, the adopted daughter of the clan could They are all named by me. The trees are pure and fragrant, the fragrance is far away and the beauty is pure and beautiful. This name is really a perfect match for you."

Seeing that her grandmother really had a good impression of Jiafu, Yingshu pulled Jiafu back and said, "Although grandma said there is no need to be formal, sister Fu and I haven't wished you a happy new year. Grandma can't even think of saving the money she gave us." New Year’s reward.”
