After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 287 I'm Disrespectful To You

Although Xiao Huayong did not eat the prison pills made by Shen Xihe, Yuan Zhengri received a jar of Tusu wine sent by Shen Xihe to the East Palace.This is a New Year's custom. This is a kind of wine brewed with medicinal materials, which has the effect of exorcising evil, detoxifying and prolonging life.

There is also a custom of drinking alcohol, starting from the youngest in the family. The so-called "little ones get old, drink to congratulate them first; old people lose their old age, so drink later".

There are also sweet tooth gummies prepared, and if there are children, they will give some sweet mouth.

Pasting Spring Festival couplets of the door god, changing peach charms, and inserting banners, it was very lively for a while.

Shen Xihe returned to the princess's mansion after spending the pills at Tao's house. On the first day of the new year, every household would burn firecrackers, and the hollow bamboo joints would crackle in the flames, which was called "court burning".

This fire should be kept burning from morning to night, or continuously for several days and nights. Spices are thrown into the fire, so that the strange fragrance can permeate the whole house. Years ago, due to this custom, all the spices in Duhuo Building were sold out.

Shen Xihe had nothing to do, so he and Zhu Zhu and others built a huge lantern tree, and let the servants of the princess's mansion gather around to sing and dance. People are good at dancing, not only princes and nobles, but also ordinary people like it.

Shen Xihe was unable to learn to dance at an early age due to her poor health. She brought the guqin to play for them, regardless of their seniority. Everyone enjoyed the joy of the New Year, and everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles.

Bu Shulin didn't pester Shen Xihe, she went to pass on the throne.

The so-called handing down means that starting from the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, every household in Kyoto will hold banquets. Neighbors will pay New Year's greetings to each other, and they will have banquets at whoever's house they go to.

Thinking of this, Shen Xihe couldn't help secretly rejoicing that today was the Great Court Meeting, otherwise Xiao Huayong would have swaggered to her by taking advantage of the custom.

After being lively for half a day, Shen Xi and Xi Shirang roasted a whole lamb. The princess's mansion surrounded the courtyard and sat in different positions. Each person shared a few plates and had a good meal. Ziyu suggested that everyone Come play hide and seek.

Shen Xihe didn't want to participate, so he went back to the house early, watched them frolicking in the yard, enjoying the rare relaxing and joyful time.

"Princess, Wang Shizhong has been suspended again to reflect on his mistakes." Shen Xihe was painting, and Mo Yuan came to report.

"Today is Yuanzheng Day, what's wrong? Your Majesty has a fit today?" Shen Xihe was surprised.

Yuanzheng Day is such an important day. For ordinary mistakes, even if they are so serious that they need to be suspended from work to think about their mistakes, His Majesty will have to bear with it for the sake of the New Year, and punish them after a few days.

"It is said that it was caused by a conflict between the envoys of the two parties in the Tai Chi Hall." The specific situation is unknown to them.

Shen Xihe put down his paintbrush, thought for a while, and said, "Someone must be tripping me up."

How important is the Great Court?

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the envoys of the various prefectures, the envoys of Jimi Prefecture and surrounding countries, all nations came to congratulate.

Wang Zheng is the servant of the province, he is responsible for leading and arranging the envoys, and it must be unusual for the two parties to conflict.But Wang Zheng is old, treacherous and cunning, how can he easily make mistakes?
"Princess, could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Hongyu thought that the last time Wang Zheng was suspended from his post was due to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"He is not the only one who can do it in the court, but His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed the most suspicious of moving him at this time." Shen Xihe also suspected in his heart that it was Xiao Huayong who secretly played tricks.

"Those who know me, Yo Yo." As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Huayong's clear and deep voice came from the roof.

The guards only discovered him at this time, Shen Xihe can't blame his guards for being useless, it's true that this person can come and go from the imperial palace freely, let alone a princess mansion like hers?

"Your Highness is afraid of the cold, so don't act like a child." Shen Xihe said softly.

Xiao Huayong jumped up, jumped off the roof, and came towards Shen Xihe with big strides: "I am passed down to the Princess's Mansion, Yoyo, I can't miss a meal."

The succession of seats is prevalent in Kyoto, but people are self-aware, and ordinary people dare not go to the mansions of dignitaries. Naturally, the identities of neighbors will not differ too much. Shen Xihe's Princess Mansion occupies the corners of two streets. , the neighbors are much less, there are only a few families, all of whom are clan relatives, most of them know that Shen Xihe is cold-tempered, and that the princess's mansion has not opened the door, so they will not make fun of themselves.

After all, it was a festival, and Shen Xihe didn't open the door, it didn't mean that he wasn't ready to eat, after all, there were so many people in the princess mansion.

The visitor was a guest, and it was a New Year's custom, Shen Xihe had no reason to expel Xiao Huayong, so he let him have a meal.

"Yo, would you like to know why Wang Zheng was suspended?" Xiao Huayong asked beside Shen Xihe after finishing his meal.

Neither Shen Xi nor his eyelids raised: "I don't want to."

Xiao Huayong's smile remained undiminished: "But I want to talk and listen to you."

But it turned out that Wang Zheng was in charge of arranging the envoys. Xiao Huayong moved some hands and feet to lure the envoys who had already been seated to leave the table, and then lured the envoys from Goguryeo to sit in the positions of the envoys. When the envoys came back, something happened dispute.

There is a language barrier between the two, and another person in charge of communication is arranged to translate each other's words to each other with unfriendly words, which intensifies the conflict, and makes the two almost draw their swords, which will lead to stumbling Wang Zheng put it in.

"Is there anything His Highness dare not do?" Shen Xihe asked.

He dared to set fire outside the ancestral temple, and he dared to create conflicts when all nations came to congratulate him.

"It's just an innocuous little conflict." Xiao Huayong didn't care at all, "It's just to let His Majesty know that he can't bear the responsibility of servant."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this..."

"That's it." Before Shen Xihe could finish speaking, Xiao Huayong said with a smile, "I'm not only for Tao Yushi."

Xue Heng wanted to vacate the position of the Zhongshuling. At this time, Wangzheng made a mistake, which was a huge mistake. It made His Majesty lose face in front of the envoys. If His Majesty forgets, others will not forget it. In the future, it will be the basis for attacking Wangzheng.

Now that there are six departments, His Majesty Xue Yuzhineng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, knows in his heart that his ministers of the Ministry of Officials are at the end. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Households have just taken office, and they have not yet taken hot positions. The Minister of Rites, Xiao Huayong, should have other plans. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu is old and has reached the age to be an official, leaving only Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Without these people standing in front of them, they can only choose from Dali Temple and Yushitai. The other temples are not very competitive. In terms of seniority, Tao Zhuanxian is in front of Dali Temple Qing Xuecheng.

"Is there another reason?" Shen Xihe asked.

"Naturally." Xiao Huayong said with a light smile, "He makes you unhappy, so I will toss him. The ups and downs are the most ecstasy, this is just the beginning."

Shen Xihe was rather dumbfounded: "Your Highness really holds grudges."

"No, if he disrespects me, I can still be magnanimous." Xiao Huayong's eyes were tender and affectionate, "If he disrespects you, I will pay every penny."
