Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the new year. Jia Zheng took Baoyu to the princess's mansion, and wanted to take Jia Mu, Yingchun and Xichun back to celebrate the new year. Tanchun stayed in the palace with Daiyu, although Yuanchun had been promoted to Concubine, but Jia Zheng's own rank is still the same. This is because Mrs. Wang and Xue's family were implicated before. Moreover, it was Shui Jing who kept his original position for Yuan Chun's sake. Otherwise, he would have He was pushed to the end and became an ordinary bald man.Therefore, unless Daiyu herself, or Shui Jing's will, he is not qualified to enter the palace.Although Jia Zheng is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, the guards of the princess mansion will not give him face because of this, let alone make an exception for him because he is Daiyu's uncle.Therefore, they treated him like other ordinary people, they had to go in and report, and let Jia Zheng Baoyu wait outside the gate. If Jia's mother didn't want to see them, the guards would not intercede for them.Therefore, when the guards reported that Jia Zheng and the others were waiting outside the gate of the mansion, she was both happy and worried. "Old lady, if you want to meet them, you can meet them!" Xueyan walked over with a plate of freshly made mung bean cakes, followed by four or five maids. "I know that the old lady likes to eat the mung bean cake. I just made it myself in the small kitchen. There are also dragon beard cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and longan red date tea." It is the place where I should stay, but due to the lack of control at ordinary times, people like Wang and Jia He came out, which not only brought disaster to the famous Duke's mansion in the past, but also caused the two Yu'er to suffer deeply. harm.

Hearing that the guards said that Mother Jia allowed them to go in, Jia Zheng felt a little relieved.The guards led them inside. Jia Zheng and others came to Daiyu's place for the first time this time. At the gate of the mansion, they saw the extraordinary grandeur and power of the princess mansion. The guards at the gate alone were different from ordinary people. The princess's mansion is very different from the Duke's mansion. The plaque above the gate of the mansion is inscribed by the late emperor himself, and there is also a jade seal.Walking inside, there are carved railings and jade bricks everywhere, which are carved with dragons and phoenixes. After all, Daiyu's princess double seal is not something ordinary people can bear.Everyone came to the entrance of the main hall, but the guards didn't take them in, and went straight to the other side.Jia He was upset and shouted loudly, wanting to enter through the main entrance.The guard looked at his arrogance coldly, and said: "This main entrance is not for ordinary people to enter, even the old lady is not qualified." Jia He shouted arrogantly: "This is the residence of my niece. Why am I not qualified to be a great uncle?" Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen frowned, they could see clearly, and Jia Zheng even looked back a few more times, there was an inscription written by the current emperor on the top of the main entrance : Ling Hui elegant style.This is the same reason as the "Rongxi Hall" in Jia's State Mansion.Jia Zheng sighed and reminded his elder brother: "Brother, look up at the inscription on it!" Jia He looked up unconvinced, and when he saw clearly the writing on it and the seal where it was signed, he immediately seemed discouraged. The ball, it's gone. "If you dare to mess around again, according to the emperor's order, you will be imprisoned immediately!" The chief guard looked at them sternly.

Arriving near the flower hall where Jiamu often rests, it is a different scene, but there are pavilions, towers and pavilions everywhere, and exotic flowers and plants are everywhere, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.When they arrived at the entrance of the flower hall, Xueyan was already waiting there, the guards retreated, and Xueyan led them in.Looking at Jia He and Jia Zheng and others kneeling in front of her, Mother Jia sighed: "I see, you go back first!" Jia He wanted to say something, but Jia Zheng stopped him.Jia Zheng kowtowed to his mother: "It's almost the Chinese New Year now, and my son wants to invite mother back to reunite..." Jia's mother looked at him, and then at Baoyu beside him. He hadn't seen him for a few months, and Baoyu was more haggard than before. There was a lot of silence, "Okay! I will go back then."

In Zhaoyang Palace, Emperor Shui Jing was also discussing with Empress Liu about the Chinese New Year. "Your Majesty, in the past, during Chinese New Year in the palace, only high-ranking ministers and conferred wives will be entertained. This year, I want to make an exception..." This is what Liu Hou thought for a long time before deciding. "Zi Tong, why did you suddenly think of this?!" Shui Jing was very curious. "Think about it, Your Majesty, how old is Sister Yu'er this year?" Shui Jing was taken aback, "Yu'er has passed her age, she is already 16 years old this year!" "Yes! Sister Yu'er is already 16 years old, You, the emperor's brother, haven't even thought about pointing her to a good family and choosing a good consort for her!" Liu Hou covered her mouth with a smile. "If you don't mention it, I really forgot...!" Shui Jing herself was embarrassed. "There are still candidates, such as Prince Zhongyong, Prince Beijing, the eldest son of Nan'an Palace, and many more..." Empress Liu laughed. "Yeah, the palace has been quiet for too long!" "What does the emperor mean...?" "Let's choose it on the sixteenth day of next month!" Shui Jing thought it was quite interesting, he imagined Shui Cheng and Shui Rong The scene of asking for a marriage in front of him is just to look forward to.

On the tenth day of December, Mother Jia brought Yingchun and Xichun back to Jia's house, and Jia Zheng took the whole family to kneel at the gate of the house to meet them.On the second day when Jia Mu returned home, an eunuch in the palace brought Shui Jing's will, asking Jia Mu to take Yingchun and Xichun to the palace for a banquet on the sixteenth day.When Jia He heard that even Yingchun was eligible to go to the palace for a banquet, he rolled his eyes and began to think again.The last time I wanted to give Yingchun to Sun Shaozu, but Daiyu stopped him, and even imprisoned himself in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and even lowered his official rank a few levels, which became a joke in the officialdom.This time when he went to the palace for a banquet, if Yingchun caught the eyes of the emperor or that prince, he would be prosperous.So this time, he went out of his way and took out dozens of taels of silver himself, and asked Mrs. Xing to buy clothes and jewelry for Yingchun to go to the banquet.Mrs. Xing also had the same thoughts as Jia He, so she didn't complain a word, but went about it with all her heart.Yingchun was born with a beautiful face, gentle and charming, and after careful makeup, it is very soft and quiet.

Soon on the [-]th day, early in the morning, Daiyu sent cars and sedan chairs for Jiamu, Yingchun and Xichun.Daiyu sent her own phoenix chariot to sit on, because this phoenix chariot was made by royal craftsmen, and it was the princess's exclusive car, so it was not only very luxurious, but also quite comfortable.It was a Qibaoxiang chariot for Yingchun and Xichun.In fact, apart from princes and nobles, civil and military officials, and some envoys from foreign countries attended the banquet this time.So this palace banquet can be said to be quite unprecedented.
