Cyan Lotus of Space Clearance

Chapter 59 Another Spring Comes

Although the Ulanala family has the intention to avoid things and raise a baby, but as the concubine Fujin of the Sibeile Mansion, there are some things she can't avoid. The main gate, Yimen, hall, Nuan Pavilion, inner hall, inner door, inner Yimen, inner plug door, and main hall door are all wide open, and maids are arranged in front of each door to guard them. The family members of the mansion waited at the gate of the main hall early, and when they heard the report that the visitors from the palace had arrived at the gate, they took the lead and knelt down to wait for Kangxi to give "blessings"... When the eunuch who passed the decree finished reading the "blessings" bestowed, they brought a bunch of them with them. Biscuits with the words "Wan, Fu, Lu, Shou, Ji, Xiang, Ru, Yi" and other words, as well as silver, silk, and animal fruits, even Su Yierha, who is in good health, feels numb in his legs, let alone Ula. Nala's gone, after such a tossing, she was exhausted.

Then think about the Laba porridge that was bestowed by the palace from Laba. It is rare for Fujin to host the Laba porridge soaked in Laba vinegar and boiled. Although she doesn't need to take care of cleaning, exposing old New Year pictures and pasting New Year pictures, she must pay attention to it as a concubine Fujin, so her spirit is rarely relaxed.

The next day was the New Year's Eve, and she handed over all chores such as posting Spring Festival couplets, posting door gods, posting money, etc. to Mrs. Li, and went to rest and recuperate by herself. There will be a banquet in the palace tonight, and she has already heard that she is pregnant. The fourteenth Fujin will go in the past seven months, and she has only been there for more than three months. It would not be good if she didn't go... The Lord was considerate of her and didn't make this request, but she couldn't lose face and be talked about by others, empress concubine, Not a good waiter.

Yinzhen is also busy at the end of the year. Like Kangxi, other ministers may have some leisure at the end of the year. After being sealed as the emperor, there are still a lot of things to do, such as writing "Fu" or Spring Festival couplets to his ministers, such as Regarding the series of sacrificial activities of the royal clan, it is not a trivial matter. The clan is nothing more than that, but the prince and elder brother must come. For example, on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month every year, the emperor will routinely sacrifice to the Kitchen God in Kunning Palace At the same time, the gods of heaven and earth were installed. The prince and a group of elder brothers followed the emperor and performed nine prostrations in front of the gods. Fireworks and firecrackers were also set off to welcome the Kitchen God. 29 On this day, although Ulanara and Su Yierha and their female relatives had been tossing around for a long time without any leisure, he worked even harder. It's okay to be lazy.

"Exhausted and boring!" Su Yierha immediately leaned back on the kang couch piled with various pillows when he returned to Duozaixuan, muttering depressingly. What's more boring is that he has to follow him to the palace at night family dinner.

"What do you look like?" She stepped forward, and Yinzhen followed behind.

"Master, what are you talking about the fourteenth Fujin? With a big belly, you have to bring a little boy with the same big belly... Uh, the side Fujin is not too tired to attend the family banquet on New Year's Eve."

"That's all you can say." He sat next to her and pinched her little face, which made her a little thinner.He certainly knew what they meant by this, and it was nothing more than to let Kangxi know the prosperous and happy scene of the old fourteen's mansion through the family banquet, and to make Ula who was pregnant and uncomfortable Nala is more tired, it would be better if there is some accident...

"Isn't it just a matter of planting Xuanxuan?" Go, just go, and gain insight.Besides, she also wanted to see how Fourteen Fujin got along with Danzhu...

The New Year’s Eve palace banquet starts at night, but no one really enters the palace until that moment. In addition to dressing up early, all the clan members, concubines and concubines must enter the palace in advance to give the queen mother, imperial concubine, and mother concubine Please serve.

When Ulanara, Li, and Su Yierha gathered together, they all looked at each other in unison.

Ulanara's full-body red flag dress, with a three-cent-wide gold narrow border inlaid on the neckline, sleeves and hem, fresh and elegant patterns and patterns embroidered on the clothes, and a gold-embroidered jade five-bat opera bead on the hair The head hairpin, the bat's beak is decorated with pearl tassels hanging down to the shoulders, and the emerald butterfly ear hairpin is inserted on one side, and the gold dot emerald east bead earrings are worn on the ear, matching her carefully modified slightly sick and tired hair. With a bright and beautiful face, besides being dignified and luxurious, there is also a silky and pitiful beauty all over her body.

Mrs. Li was wearing a rose-purple satin cheongsam, her dark cloud-like hair was combed twice, and a magpie climbing plum hairpin was inserted on her head. The two small rubies inlaid on the magpie's eyes seemed to engulf her whole body. He was called alive, and under the magpie Dengmei on the hairpin, he wore a string of gold-inlaid enamel pearl flowers, and two rare purple opals on his ears. Putting on rouge and gouache, it made her eyebrows more picturesque, with a smile in her eyes.

Su Yierha only picked up a pink flag dress with a simple and fresh pattern, her long black hair was combed into two small sections in a regular manner, and the jewelry only used a set of pink pearls on her head. The beads are not big, but Each is plump and round, shiny and moist red powder, very fresh and beautiful.

Seeing her dressed like this and coming with Yinzhen, Mrs. Li couldn't help but stare at her secretly. Su Yierha received her murderous stares and silently vomited inwardly. Why stare? You are still in your twenties I am the mother of three children. I am only 14 years old. I dress up like you. What do I look like? (Totally missed the point——!)

When they arrived at the Yonghe Palace, the fourteenth elder brother and the fourteenth Fujin Wanyan were talking around the concubine De, while the side Fujin Shushujue Luoshi and Ergenjue Luodanzhu sat quietly and listened with a smile. Occasionally insert a couple of sentences.Concubine De smiled all over her face, her eyes were full of love for Elder Fourteen.

Seeing that the fourth elder brother came in to greet her with Ulanara and the others, the smile on his face paused slightly, and he slightly raised his hand, "Qika, sit down quickly, the fourth elder family come and sit next to me."

The fourteenth elder brother turned his eyes around several people, and said a thousand times with a smile, "Greetings to the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law!" After the salute, it was as if he had just seen Li Shi and Su Yierha, "Both Is the little sister-in-law here too?" The fourteenth Fujin and the two fourteenth side Fujin also saluted the fourth elder brother and Ulanara's family.

Su Yier Hahun nodded indifferently: "Uncle Fourteen is well."

Li Shi was a little embarrassed.She has been enjoying herself recently, but she didn't expect Fourteenth Elder Brother to be so disrespectful to her. He slightly twisted the veil with his hands, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and smiled with the corners of his mouth: "Fourteenth Uncle is well."

Yinzhen nodded and found a seat for himself to sit down.Su Yierha took a look and saw that a nanny moved to Xiudun again, so he hurriedly picked one that was close to the fourth elder brother and sat down.When Li saw it, she was even more angry, so she had to choose another embroidered pier and sit down.

The [-]th Fujin and the two [-]th-side Fujin sat on the opposite side of the [-]th Elder Brother.

Ulanara walked over with a smile on her face, and sat down on the seat vacated by Fourteen Fujin, "Emiang, my daughter-in-law has been unwell for a while and didn't come to greet you, please forgive me."

"Forgive me for the crime, I can only be happy that you gave birth to an heir for the fourth child! Let me see, hey, I did lose some weight, did you not eat the supplements that were rewarded? You have to eat for the sake of the child, see Huilan and Danzhu, how well you raised them!"

"The daughter-in-law is also useful, but she has been lacking in energy..." Ulanara hurriedly said.

"That's tiring. Now that you have a body, don't let go of the things in the house. Leave those chores to Shuqi, Su Yierha and the others... Fourth brother, don't worry about it." Carry on errands, take care of her when you have time..." Concubine De has a gentle smile from the beginning to the end, and her words of advice are strings of words, like a loving mother. Seeing Su Yierha sighing, if she didn't know Their mother and son fell out later, and seeing the indifference in the depths of her eyes, she really thought it was a loving mother who cared about her son and daughter-in-law.

Concubine De was speaking, and she couldn't help boasting that the fourteenth prince was virtuous and capable, and that the people in the fourteenth elder brother's house were prosperous, implying that the Ulanala clan, now that she is pregnant, don't hold on to the fourth elder brother, but arrange other things. She serves the fourth elder brother to spread branches and leaves for the royal family.

Which daughter-in-law would be happy to hear this, but Ulanara listened respectfully, smiled and said that she was extremely obedient, and her expression was sincere and grateful... Su Yierha was speechless when she watched it. The scheming is much stronger.

She looked straight, and Yinzhen secretly curled the corners of her lips, thinking that it was indeed much more interesting than watching a play.He used to be sad, angry, and disappointed because of this... But now it seems that there is a layer of veil behind him, and there is no wave in his heart.

Concubine De asked Yinzhen a few more things about daily life and errands, and said: "You are old and have experience in errands, and your emperor Ama also praised you. The old 14 has just started an errand when he is young. If there is anything, you can take care of it." Be careful, he has a reckless temper, I am really worried..."

"Emiang, don't worry, the fourteenth brother is gentle and flexible, and he is flexible. Within two years, we will be compared to the older ones—" He has gentle eyebrows and deep eyes, and Concubine De and the fourteenth brother also It is not clear whether what he said was sincere or just perfunctory.

"Young lady, the thirteenth elder brother and the thirteenth Fujin have come to pay their respects." A palace maid came in to report.

"Invite them in quickly." De Fei paused, but couldn't continue talking.

After a while, the thirteenth elder brother, dressed in the auspicious sapphire blue prince's attire, came in with the thirteen blessings, and greeted the concubine De: "Thirteen (Wan Yi) greets the concubine De, the concubine De is auspicious."

"Okay, get up quickly! Wanyi, come and sit here. Well, it's different when you're married, and you look a lot older."

Thirteen Fujin combed her hair with two hairpins, and wore a Qing Yunyongfu hairpin on her head. Her small heart-shaped face was perfectly exposed, with full diamond lips, a straight nose, big black eyes, and beautiful eyebrows. The figure is elegant and elegant, and the temperament is elegant.

Su Yierha had a good impression of her. When she saw her at this time, she also felt that her outfit was a bit more feminine than that of a girl.

After the thirteenth elder brother took the thirteen Fujin to greet the fourth elder fourteenth elder brother and several people present, he inevitably joked a few words. He is a bright, keen and talented person. With his voice, The relationship between Concubine De, Fourth Elder Brother and Fourteenth Elder Brother became much more lively.

The New Year’s Eve banquet in the palace, also known as the New Year’s Eve dinner and reunion dinner, was held at Shenzheng (four o’clock) in the afternoon, and it was placed in the Qianqing Palace. Seeing that the time was approaching, Mother Chen hurriedly reminded her, and Concubine De nodded: “It’s almost time, let’s go Come on." As she spoke, she stretched out her hands wearing long tortoiseshell nails inlaid with jewels and emerald jade to help Nanny Chen to walk ahead.

In the middle of the banquet, the emperor had a "Golden Dragon Banquet Table" for each person, with a gold embroidered table surround around the table.There is a long table between the big banquet table and the emperor's "throne".

The cooking ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner are traditional Manchu food.That is, pork, fat duck, vegetable duck, fat chicken, vegetable chicken, pork knuckle, pork belly, meal, wild boar, Kanto goose, mutton, venison, pheasant... and pastries made of white flour and sugar, etc. The Manchus have an inherent eating custom.

These dishes have been prepared since twelve o'clock at noon, and Su Yierha has no appetite when he thinks about it, so he just watches the excitement.She prefers hot food, as well as cold salad, but it is the modern cold salad with plenty of seasonings, with various flavors of sour, sweet, spicy, spicy and fragrant.

The dishes on the banquet table are divided into eight sections from the outside to the inside. There are all kinds of meat and vegetable sweet and salty snacks, cold meals and hot meals. There are 63 dishes in total. dried seafood and ground into powder) and other fruits and pasta.In addition to the main dishes, there are eight kinds of fruits and vegetables, as well as snacks such as pomegranates, small snacks, stove food, Aoerbuha (a kind of Manchu fried pasta), duck stuffed buns, rice noodle snacks and other snacks.

In addition to the emperor's family, there are six tables to accompany the guests. Each table has a total of 24 hot and cold dishes.

All the concubines, Argo Gege, and the royal family members gradually arrived, and the men and women sat down separately.After waiting for a while, I saw a group of eunuchs coming quickly, quietly standing still in the direction, and a voice came from a distance: "The emperor is here!"
