Chapter 627
The New Year in the palace is basically the same as that of ordinary people's homes, but the ostentation is much bigger.

On New Year's Eve, all the gods from the lower realms are invited to bless them, and couplets with the word "blessing" are posted everywhere in the palace.

Before dawn, the emperor got up to burn incense and worship his ancestors, and he was busy until dawn.

There will also be a banquet for hundreds of officials at noon, and princes, ministers, and royal relatives are all invited.

A total of 99 tables, a total of [-] dishes.It is said that except for the emperor, no one can taste all these dishes at once.

The emperor tasted it all, but it was just a formality, and he really couldn't eat it.

In order to get a good start.

However, these meals will not be wasted in the end. After the main banquet is over, they will go down, and the maids and eunuchs below will eat layer by layer, and there will be nothing left.

After the Baiguan banquet, there will be singing and dancing, and the whole set will reach the third quarter of the first half of the year.

Then the officials leave the palace and go home, and the people in the palace can also rest for a while.

The concubines in the palace usually take a short nap after the official banquet, and after getting up, they walk around the palaces, set off firecrackers, touch dominoes, and play Go.

I didn't go to Huayang Palace until before the New Year's Eve dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the palace is the most important, with [-] dishes starting from the sheep's head and ending with the deer's tail.Every dish is exquisite.

This year there is no empress in the palace, Cen Yunchu is a noble concubine, acting as empress.

After New Year's Eve is the first day.

This morning, before dawn, the emperor got up.

With him, Cen Yunchu also woke up.

"Don't get up, sleep for a while." The emperor patted her and said, "Last night was too late for New Year's Eve."

Cen Yunchu was indeed a little tired, so he turned over and fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor smiled and told her to get up: "Shou Xing, wake up, happy new year, good luck and longevity."

Cen Yunchu's starry eyes dimmed slightly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said with a broken smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your golden words, and you can answer everything."

The emperor kissed her on the forehead and said: "Today is your birthday, other birthday gifts are too common, I thought about it, but this is the only one I think about."

"What is it?" Cen Yunchu asked with a smile.

"Get up and have a look." The emperor also laughed, keeping it secret.

Cen Yunchu turned over and the maid came over to serve and change clothes.

She came down and saw a bowl of longevity noodles on the table.

The noodles are a bit uneven in thickness, but they are carefully decorated with mycelium, bamboo shoots, sea bass meat and a candied poached egg.

"This...was made by you, Your Majesty?" Cen Yunchu was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed it.

The emperor rarely showed a bit of restraint, and said with a smile: "I have practiced a few times before, and this time is already the best."

Cen Yunchu couldn't help sobbing a little, and said, "Your Majesty, you are so busy these days, yet you still spend so much time thinking about me."

"It's worth doing anything for you," the emperor came over and took her hand, and told her to sit down, "Try it while it's hot, and see if it suits your appetite?"

Cen Yunchu picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of noodle soup, which tasted rich and moderately salty.

"This soup is delicious."

"It's a soup made of clear chicken soup and dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and there is no oily star." The emperor was also very happy to receive the compliment. "The noodles are a bit thick. After cooking for a while, I don't know how it tastes."

Cen Yunchu took a sip of the noodles and said with a smile, "It's very strong, I like this kind of noodles."

The emperor raised his hand lovingly, stroked Cen Yunchu's hair and said, "every year, be happy and safe. My Ah Chu is already 22 years old."

Cen Yunchu had eaten half of it and couldn't eat anymore, the emperor brought the bowl over and ate up the rest of the noodles.

The palace people at the side knew in their hearts that the Holy Majesty really dotes on the imperial concubine and empress too much.

It has never been heard that the emperor personally cooks longevity noodles on the birthday of any concubine.

It is even more impossible to eat which concubine eats the leftovers.

But in Cen Yunchu's place, all the rules are broken, and the emperor is blatantly partial to her.

"Oh, I'm so full." Cen Yunchu smiled and rubbed his stomach.

"Go out with me when you're full! The ministers have all come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and at the same time wish you birthday." The emperor said, "You still want to distribute gold and silver purses to these ministers together with me!"

"Is Chen'er still asleep? Don't wake him up, it's still dark." Cen Yunchu said.

"Chinese New Year is like this. Except for children, adults can't sleep late." The emperor suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Cen Yunchu: "But don't be too tired these days, it's almost done. In a few days, You are tired."

"Is the emperor really in such a hurry? I always feel that I should take it easy. The concubine is not in a hurry." Cen Yunchu said.

"I am more anxious than you." The emperor said, "In my heart, there is only one queen, and that is you.

I ordered Qin Tian to supervise it early, and February [-]th is an auspicious day.The things that will be used in the post-sealing ceremony have been prepared years ago. "

"My concubine, I would like to thank the emperor for trusting me." Ever since Cen Yunchu met the emperor, he never asked her for anything, and the emperor always put everything in front of her.

"Actually, since you entered the palace, you have suffered a lot of grievances. Fortunately, you understand righteousness and know that I have to do something.

Now that King Huaiyang and his gang have been punished, I have nothing to hold back.From now on, you will share the world with me. "The emperor held Cen Yunchu's hand tightly.

He had promised Cen Yunchu long ago that he would make her mother love the world.

Cen Yunchu lowered his head slightly, for a woman, the position of empress is already the most honorable position in the world.

What the emperor gave her is neither precious nor respectful.

She also knows that from now on, what she has to bear will also be a heavy burden.

"Xiao Chen'er won't be beautiful for a few days." The emperor felt a little gloating, "After your empress ceremony is over, he will be crowned prince in a short time, and he will have to be woken up in the middle of the night."

The status and honor that many people dare not ask for extravagantly, for Cen Yunchu's mother and son, it was arranged well in advance.

"By the way, there is one thing I never asked you.

"what's up?"

"I just heard that you asked a magician to tell your fortune in your early years?"

It turned out that the emperor had also heard about Zuo Zhengqing giving Cen Yun the first batch of horoscopes.

"It was forced by my grandmother's prestige, so I had to go." Cen Yunchu couldn't help laughing, recalling that it really seemed like a lifetime away.

"I heard that the fate he tested for you was extremely bad?"

"That's right, he said I'm insignificant."

There was a lot of trouble back then, and many people believed in Zuo Zhengqing superstitiously, calling him "Immortal Zuo".

Because of his criticism of Cen Yunchu, the families of the most important officials in the capital were unwilling to marry him.

For quite a long time, Cen Yunchu became the object of ridicule by everyone.

"Is that person dead?"

"It's been a long time since I died." Cen Yunchu said.

"Damn it indeed." The emperor snorted coldly.

Zuo Zhengqing tarnished Cen Yunchu's reputation, and finally Cen Yunchu planned to bring him to justice.

Except for a few people, no one knew that Zuo Zhengqing died at the hands of Cen Yunchu.
