Princess Jingyang wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "He...he really can't stand the pain in his back, otherwise why can't he come to the palace on such a big day?"

Emperor Wenchang sighed: "It's all for my country...Jingyang, I owe you and my wife too much!"

Princess Jingyang hurriedly said: "Brother, where did you say this! Yu Gong, you are the emperor, and we are subjects, and it is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the king; Yu private, you are the elder brother of the minister's sister. It is also our duty to share our worries and relieve our labor.”

Emperor Wenchang patted her on the shoulder lightly, "Jingyang, if all our brothers and sisters are like you, it will be fine!"

"Imperial brother is holy, and the world is salty," Princess Jingyang flattered calmly, "It's what people want. Doesn't the fact prove it?"

Emperor Wenchang laughed, "Today's New Year's Eve, don't talk about those unpleasant things. Take a seat, take a seat."

Princess Jingyang had a smile on her face, but she was very impatient in her heart!Shouli is so boring at home alone!

But compared to his exhaustion in socializing in front of the emperor, he is still pretty good!
Amidst the sound of soft music, everyone sat down according to their identities, men and women.

The female guests were taken care of by Princess Dangyang, and the male guests were naturally organized by officials from Honglu Temple.

Emperor Wenchang said a few words and ordered the banquet to begin.

The fruit plate and cold cuts are served first, and at this time it is mainly to talk to each other and watch singing and dancing.

The dinner party didn't officially start until Youzheng watched the fireworks.

And the fireworks will last for an hour.

When the fireworks are all gone, the dinner party is basically over, the remnants of the seats are removed, and they are replaced with finer tea, watching the performance while watching the new year.

There were also individual courtiers or clans who were invited to show their faces in front of Emperor Wenchang.

Emperor Wenchang gave a little reward from time to time.

When he was waiting for Tianjiaozi, after eating dumplings, he drove to the Taimiao to perform sacrifices.

Due to the cumbersome etiquette, it will last almost an hour.

Except for the royal family, the people who can enter the Taimiao are important officials in the court, and the rest of the courtiers and wives need to kneel outside and wait.

After the sacrifice, many people's knees were frozen.

Fortunately, most people have already prepared, so that they will not really fall into any trouble.

Just like Rong An and Huang Qingyu, both of them had thick cushions tied on their knees, and they had a heater in their wide sleeves.

But it takes an hour to kneel in the cold wind, and it is always uncomfortable, even if everyone in the palace is given a futon.

Huang Qingyu wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say, and everyone was silent. If she spoke, she would be too conspicuous, and she couldn't cause trouble!
At the end of the sacrifice, Emperor Wenchang said a few words briefly, showing signs of exhaustion, and Yu Jia led the crowd back to the Golden Luan Hall.

This time, Emperor Wenchang did not stay, and went directly back to the inner palace to rest.

Everyone knelt before the Kowloon throne to thank the emperor, and then they could leave.

Basically, after returning home, it is time to prepare to go to court again. After the New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, Emperor Wenchang will announce the seal, and the seal will not be opened until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

During this period, there is no court.

The [-]th day of the first lunar month will not go to court, but Emperor Wenchang wants to have fun with the people and hold a Lantern Festival in the capital.The courtiers naturally had to prepare in advance, and some yamen even started working on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

On the way back, no one was in the mood to chat, they were already very tired.

Fortunately, there was a charcoal fire in the car, and Qinglian who stayed in the car had already cooked ginger soup and gave everyone a thick bowl.

Huang Qingyu was sweating slightly on the tip of her nose, her hands and feet were still cold, "Oh, it can be considered..."
