During the New Year, the palace was peaceful.

No matter how fierce the prince, the king of Han, or the king of Zhao is, how fierce the fights are in the court on weekdays, they are all easy to talk about during the Chinese New Year, and they barely look like a family.After all, the emperor was diligent in his administration, and he could enjoy himself for only a few days every year. If anyone would not let the emperor have fun at this time, then he would never want to have fun again in his life.

On weekdays, the crown princess with light makeup and elegant red lips painted bright red lips, and the two hanging eyebrows of the Han princess who bared her teeth and claws also bowed down, bending into a gentle and amiable look.Concubine Zhao's Mu family was newly entrusted to the Jin Dynasty last year. It was the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, her face was full of peach blossoms, and she was extremely charming.

The emperor's three sons are all very fertile, let alone the big nest of the prince's family, the Hanwang family has eleven sons, and the Zhao Wang family has two sons and three daughters.During the Chinese New Year, there was a room full of big and small children, and Zhu Di watched the grandchildren bloom happily here.

After the New Year's Day greetings, the Crown Princess took the female relatives of the Eastern Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the empresses of the various palaces. Several empresses who were acquainted with each other even joked with me: Will I also give birth to the grandson next year?I hid my face with my sleeves and pretended to be shy.

Since the seventh year of Yongle, with His Majesty's grace, all officials can rest from the [-]th to [-]th of the first lunar month without having to do anything.Unless it is important, it is written and handed in to the palace.

During this period, folks are free to put on lanterns and have banquets all night long without a curfew.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, the palace will also arrange to put "Aoshan Lanterns" at the Meridian Gate to have fun with the people.

I saw a high canopy set up under the Meridian Gate, with various hanging basket lanterns hanging around it, peonies, peonies, narcissus and orchids, and a hundred flowers blooming, forming a boundary.In the middle, colored paper, bamboo strips and bamboo silk are used to tie five tall rockery mountains, and the names of the Five Sacred Mountains are written on them.The rockery is freehand and delicate, with verdant pines and cypresses on the mountain, and clear springs in ancient temples, just like a fairyland.There are also smaller lanterns, there are mountain ghosts, water animals, flowers, birds, insects and fish of all colors, which are hidden among the mountains and rivers of this rockery, waiting for the sound of drums, the sound of zither, zither, and flute, and the sound of special people blowing smoke and singing. Between the melodious and melodious, the fairy air is fluttering, and the mountains are full of life: birds fly and fish leap, flowers bloom and insects sing, mountain ghosts wander in the mountains, water animals wander in the water, the eyes are full of brightness, prosperity and vitality.

The people under the Meridian Gate applauded loudly, and the princes and nobles above the Meridian Gate also found it elegant and interesting.I have seen all kinds of light shows in modern times in my previous life, but there are no such ancient lanterns, which are exquisite, elegant and infinitely creative.

We were chirping and commenting on the change of this lamp, where did this bird lamp fly to, and that mountain ghost was so beautiful.Suddenly Zhu Di pointed to a person under the Meridian Gate, and said with a smile: "Xia Yuanji is really a filial son."

Everyone followed his gaze, and a little old lady with white hair and wrinkled face stood out from the crowd. It was Mrs. Xia in her fifties who was carrying her tremblingly.Looking closely again, I saw Mrs. Xia standing aside with his wife, who was blocked by the crowd and couldn't see the lamp and kept jumping.

The scene was funny, and everyone couldn't help laughing.Zhu Di smiled and told the little fireman next to him: "You take two hundred ingots of treasure and give it to his mother, and say that I will reward her for keeping her chastity and educating her children well. Then take a rosewood stool from the palace. Give it to his wife to step on."

The King of Han laughed and said: "No wonder this old Xia, Xia Xuan is the only son in all. Who will give birth to a son if he loves his wife but not his wife?"

Zhao Wang laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up: "Where has Xia Xuan gone, he should also learn from his father to be a filial son, you see, his mother can't even look at the lamp when she is hanging there."

The prince was kind, and although he laughed, he didn't say anything.

Heidan saw that my eyes were staring at the corner of the Meridian Gate, so he pulled me to the side and said, "I'll go to Grandpa Huang to ask for orders, how about we go down to play too."

I turned my eyes towards the King of Han, indicating that he was upset by the slaves of the King of Han's mansion in the summer, and the princess is not happy that we go out of the palace alone again.

Heidan whispered: "After the last time, I'm sorry they didn't dare anymore. Let's bring a few more people, and I'll go tell Grandpa Huang."

Not long after, Heidan came back and told me with a dark face that Grandpa Huang had agreed.

I was wondering why the face was so dark even though it was good news, and two white eggs, one big and one small, came out from behind the black eggs.

Me: ...how about the three of you brothers go, and I won't go?
