New Year's Eve was approaching, and it was still sunny during the day, and both the officials and the people in Manjing could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"My lords, go home and get ready. The general has ordered you to bring the two lords into the palace tonight to enjoy the New Year's Eve banquet with His Majesty."

One of Wei Xizhou's confidants turned to drive a carriage to the charcoal site to pick up people, but he saw two masters carrying baskets to present charcoal for the common people, leaving a lot of gray and black on their bodies and faces The traces are like two cats, not ugly, but a little funny.

"Go wash your hands, I'll give this piece of charcoal to the old man." Wei Liangyin urged Bai Guo, who raised her head with blinking eyes.

Xu Shi got a little dizzy from being so busy, Ginkgo turned a 180-degree turn, and only then did she see where the basin for cleaning hands was placed.The water in the basin was already cold, so he quickly rubbed his hands in it, whether it was the ground or the frozen ground, when he took out his hand, his fingers were as red as ten carrots, and they looked a little swollen.

Wei Liangyin filled the charcoal for the old man, turned to look at Bai Guo, saw his pitiful ten carrot claws, couldn't help frowning, and ordered his servant to bring a hand warmer for Bai Guo.

"Still frozen?" Wei Liangyin used to freeze his hands at the border, and the feeling was uncomfortable, so he asked Bai Guo, "Does it hurt or itch?"

Bai Guo shook her head, flicked her fingers, and smiled: "It's a little numb, neither painful nor itchy."

Wei Liangyin sighed: "That means it's freezing, after warming up your fingers, tell me, if it's itchy, you need to apply medicine."

Ginkgo said yes.

Probably waited until the two returned to the Wei Mansion, and Bai Guo jumped out of the car clutching the stove, her fingers started to itch.He began to feel that he could bear it, and he didn't really want to talk about it, but... the warmer his hands became, the more intense the itchiness became. Scratching the surface didn't work, as if the itchiness oozing from the bones was too uncomfortable.

Wei Liangyin saw it, and tapped his forehead: "Is it itchy? Why don't you say it?"

Bai Guo said: "I don't want to cause trouble for my cousin."

Hearing this, Wei Liangyin couldn't say anything about ginkgo, so he just asked the doctor in the house to prepare an ointment and apply it on him.

"It's still cold when you enter the palace at night, so don't forget to hold a warmer in your hand, even if your fingers are itchy, you can't help but apply this medicine twice, it will heal quickly."

Once ordered to do things, Wei Liangyin has some characteristics of being a twin, careful and nagging.

Bai Guo listened patiently, feeling warm in his heart.

The New Year's Eve dinner was held in a special hall, because this year was the first time to organize a New Year's Eve banquet after the successor, and I was not familiar with palace affairs, so I invited the Empress Dowager Zhao to come out to help, but the place was very lively, and there was nothing at all error.

Ning Anrong is a delicate-minded person. The downfall of the Ning family had shattered her arrogance as a noble girl, but now that she has become a new queen, she is very patient. As long as she doesn't specifically hit her with a gun, she will ignore it, even Emperor Jin Yuan didn't care too much about his love, he just went to the dowager Zhao's bedroom every day to say hello, and he didn't even go to the middle palace with his concubine, but went straight to Shoukang Palace where the Queen Mother Zhao was.

Since then, the Empress Dowager Zhao was particularly pleasing to the eyes when she saw the new queen, and although Emperor Jin Yuan did not spend the night in the central palace, he still liked to talk to Ning Anrong and have a casual meal.

At the dinner party, because the emperor and his ministers wanted to have fun together, Emperor Jin and Yuan took the lead, the Empress Dowager Zhao sat on the left, the new Empress Ning Anrong sat on the right, and then sat on the side of the palace concubine, and sat on the side of the courtiers. Front, courtiers and courtiers rear.

When Bai Guo entered the hall, he saw Uncle Chang Ping's shadow, but he was caught in the crowd and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He was still sitting next to Wei Liangyin, and the courtier beside him was a fat boy with a round face, who looked like a big doll with New Year pictures.On the contrary, this fat boy is also an acquaintance, so Wei Liangyin can't talk to him a few words, so he baldly said that the reason why his father's three sons brought him into the palace is because he looks happy, Your Majesty I saw the excitement!

Bai Guo couldn't help being amused, the fat boy still had his chest up, with a proud expression on his face.

Like this kind of court New Year's Eve banquet, what kind of people you are around can directly affect whether you enjoy the meal or not. The little fat man is funny, so it is natural to have dinner, and coupled with the carefulness of the palace banquet, Ginkgo will be very happy. I just concentrate on eating, and occasionally look up at the singing and dancing, but I feel at ease.

But can this New Year's Eve banquet really be comfortable?

An experienced veteran can definitely tell Bai Guo: No.

Probably after three rounds of singing and dancing, it was time for the concubine to perform. This was the most exciting part of the New Year’s Eve banquet. Generally, high-ranking concubines would not participate. Only some low-ranking concubines who wanted to seek the attention of the emperor would let it go. If you fight, you will be favored if you succeed, and if you lose...you won't be so bad if you lose.

Most of the concubines in the palace are multi-talented people, some are good at dancing and playing the piano, and even have a singing voice like Yingchi Chacha, which is more attractive and interesting than those musicians and dancers.

A few little-known concubines appeared in the middle, seeing that Emperor Jin and Yuan had rewarded them with some objects, but they still couldn't arouse their interest until another person came on stage, which made everyone stunned.

"Concubines see Your Majesty." He Guiren, the Concubine Hui before she fell out of favor, bowed Yingying, with a smile in her eyes.

Uncle Changping and Mrs. He, Mrs. Changping who were seated, couldn't help sitting upright, especially Mrs. He was seriously ill, and her face was obviously sallow, but she applied a lot of gouache to cover up her illness. At this moment, her eyes widened, and her face The dry powder actually got stuck and cracked, which is so funny.

"This nobleman is showing his face." A lady sitting next to her, who is also a nobleman, said in a lively manner, "Mrs. Changping, my lady vaguely remembers that this nobleman is still from your own family." First sister?"

"Yes." He smiled dryly, and his eyes fell directly on He Guiren in the center of the hall.

"If your sister-in-law is back in favor today, then your uncle's mansion will become more expensive again." The uncle's wife seemed to think it was not enough, "Tell me, is it possible that your sister-in-law is still alive?" ?”

Mrs. He cast a sharp glance at the uncle, suppressing the oppression in her chest.

At this time, in the center of the hall, He Guiren has already danced gracefully, her eyebrows are affectionate, her eyes are charming, and her figure is graceful and graceful. beauty.

Emperor Jin Yuan gradually recalled the comfortable days and nights when he was with He Guiren, and his expression gradually softened.

"It's no surprise that she is a woman who has lived in the palace for decades, and she has good means." Seeing the softening of the superior's expression, Wei Liangyin couldn't help whispering in Bai Guo's ear, "This Yuemo is about to return to favor. "

Bai Guo lowered his eyes, followed the rows of sitting ministers, and found the position of Uncle Chang Ping and his wife—the two were leaning forward, and the urgency and passion in their eyes could be seen even if they were far away. Clearly, it is ugly.

After the dance, He Guiren bowed gracefully again, and looked up at Emperor Jin Yuan.

Emperor Jin Yuan's heart moved, and he was about to say something, but he heard a "clang clang", it was someone from one of the concubines who had spilled the hot soup and scalded his hands.

"Your Majesty." Baocai stood up with her arms covered, her figure was slender, she seemed to know that she had done something wrong in her recklessness, her whole body was trembling slightly, her eyes were red, and she looked like a frightened little white rabbit, which was irritating. pity.

"Why are you so careless?" Emperor Jin Yuan looked at her, his eyes were full of pity, he just told someone to get the scald ointment quickly, and told Bao Cairen to go back to the bedroom to rest earlier.

Baocai didn't dare to resign, he just said not to spoil the atmosphere of the dinner party.

Emperor Jin Yuan could only sigh and let her go.

After all the incidents, the Empress Dowager Zhao was still benevolent and smiling like an old Buddha, while the new empress only lowered her eyes and drank the hot soup without saying a word. As for He Guiren... she had already knelt in the middle of the hall But Concubine Rong, Concubine Li and the others had seen enough jokes.

"Tch." The next seat did not know who took the lead in laughing.

This voice went straight into the ears of Mr. and Mrs. Changping and He Guiren, and He Guiren's eyes flashed the humiliation, and he did not stop doing anything, completely showing his cards, only covering his mouth and suddenly retching twice , attracted everyone's attention.

"What's wrong, Mr. He?" Ning Anrong raised his head, wiped his mouth, and asked casually, "If you don't feel well, get up quickly. It's cold in the ground today, and it won't be worthwhile to freeze your body any longer." gone."

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled: "Since the empress told you to get up, you should quickly step back and ask the imperial doctor to have a look."

"The concubine is looking at He Guiren's retching posture, why does it seem to be there?" Among the concubines sitting down, Concubine Li suddenly interjected.

Emperor Jin Yuan glanced at Concubine Li, then looked at He Guiren, frowned and said, "Why don't you ask the imperial physician to come up and take the nobleman's pulse."

After the emperor finished speaking, one of the imperial physicians stepped forward to examine He Guiren carefully. After a while, the imperial physician knelt down and kowtowed, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty is very happy, this is the pulse of joy, Your Majesty!"

"Oh?" Ning Anrong smiled, and asked, "The imperial physician may have calculated how many months is your lord's pregnancy?"

The imperial physician pondered and said, "Although your nobleman has slippery pulse, the pulse condition is slightly weaker. It may be more than two months, but it is less than three months."

Is that what He Guiren conceived before being demoted?That's really lucky!

When Emperor Jin Yuan heard the words, he was overjoyed and said, "Reward."

The imperial physician thanks you.

He Guiren was lifted up by the palace maid, and stood weakly in the palace. She seemed to have just found out that she was pregnant, her eyes were full of surprise and tenderness, her fingers stroked her lower abdomen, she slightly raised her head to look at Emperor Jin Yuan, she was happy but also gloomy .

There has been no child born in the palace for two or three years. Now that He Guiren is pregnant, Emperor Jin Yuan has the excitement of being a father for the first time. No matter how you look at He Guiren, it is very good.

But when He Guiren got better, some people felt bad again.

Bao Xing touched her scalded wrist, her nails were about to be pinched in, she wished she could eat that noble man's skin and bones to vent her anger.

The nobleman was pregnant and found out at the New Year's Eve banquet. This made many courtiers not only suspect that He Guiren deliberately picked such an opportunity to expose it, but no matter what, everyone still cheerfully congratulated Emperor Jinyuan.

Uncle Chang Ping and Mrs. He even straightened their backs at this time, and they couldn't help smiling.

Is He Guiren still far away from being favored again?

Everyone knows that as long as she gives birth to the emperor's son, not to mention the restoration of the original Concubine Hui's position, even the future... may become very different.

The situation has developed to this point, even Bai Guo and Wei Liangyin are both speechless, but this matter has nothing to do with them, the reputation of Changping uncle's mansion is already bad, even if He Guiren, as He's sister-in-law, is in the palace. No matter how good they are, they can't overwhelm the Wei family who have made great contributions. It is impossible to bully them.

Just take it as watching a court struggle.

"It's just a pity that His Royal Highness King Jing didn't participate in today's reunion palace banquet." After the New Year's Eve banquet, Bai Guo looked at the moonlight in the sky, and suddenly remembered the person who suddenly disappeared in Beijing.

And luckily Wei Liangyin didn't hear this, otherwise this kid would have said that the cabbage he raised at home had already learned to secretly pass the leaves to the pig to eat before he was called Zhu Gong.

At that time, the Southern Gang, which was facing Jingzhong, was already full of broken limbs and blood everywhere.

New Year's Eve is also the night of killing, when the enemy's defense is the least.

Xie Lin was drenched in blood, and ordered all the soldiers to set fire to the village of this big gang. As for the money confiscated from the big gang, they were immediately transported to the capital and returned to the state treasury.

"Your Highness, there are still two villages left that haven't been completely cleaned up. I'm afraid that the gang members who couldn't be killed in the three villages just now have gone to those two villages to report the news!"

Xie Lin's eyes darkened: "Don't wait, immediately set off to the next village and block the four city gates between the two places. They won't be able to hold on for too long."

"Yes!"

A bright moon lit up in the sky, Xie Lin wiped the blood on his face, put the knife into its sheath, and stepped into the next coming night.
