Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 267 It's New Year's Eve Again
With the arrival of the first snow in winter in early October, the entire Forbidden City was completely covered by heavy snow. In this snow-covered world, Ya Ruo hardly ever left the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and stayed in the burning ground all day long. Reading and writing in the room, and occasionally exchanging whip skills with Kong Sizhen, the days passed quickly, and before she knew it, the second Spring Festival when she came to this world came quietly.

Although it was snowing outside, but because it was New Year's Eve, the palace was decorated with red silk flowers and red lanterns everywhere. It looked extraordinarily festive. In addition, there was a grand banquet for princes and nobles, and there were many people coming and going in the Palace of Compassion , very lively!

"Ge Ge, it's time to change clothes. There are already many Fujins arriving at the main hall of the empress dowager. Sister Qinghe just came and said that the empress dowager is looking for you!" Baolan walked in, looking listless on the soft couch My own grid, said in a low voice.

"Hey..." Ya Ruo couldn't help sighing, turned around to look at Baolan, and said in a low voice, "I miss Eqige and my mother."

Baolan was slightly taken aback when she heard the words. Since the prince and Fujin returned to Horqin, Gege missed them very much. Although she didn't say anything, Gege often took out the clothes and purses that Fujin made for her, hugged them, and stroked them gently.

This is the first time Ge Ge said in front of her that she missed the prince and Fujin, probably because she misses her too much, so she couldn't help but say it.

"New Year's Eve family banquet... the family reunion in the palace is very happy, but... Eqige, my mother and I are thousands of miles apart, let alone meet each other, and it is impossible to even hear their voices... I..." The more Ya Ruo said, the more she felt sour and sad.

If it was the previous life, relatives could not see each other, at least they could make phone calls and videos. In this ancient time, there was nothing but letters every month.

"Baolan... How about we sneak back to Horqin?" Ya Ruo suddenly raised her head and said in a low voice.

"Ge Ge, this is absolutely impossible. If we go back to Horqin silently, how will you explain to the emperor and the queen mother? At that time, they must think that Ge Ge is gone, and they must be very worried. I beg Ge Ge, please quickly dispel this idea. Well, in another year, the lord and Fujin will be able to pick Gege back, so be patient with Gege!" Baolan shook her head quickly and said.

"I'm just saying that, I haven't put it into action yet." Ya Ruo said with a sigh.

Baolan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and hurriedly stepped forward to wait for Ya Ruo to change her clothes and comb her hair. After everything was ready, she went to the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Today's palace banquet was held in the main hall, and it was almost ready. The queen mother and a group of royal Fujin rested in the side hall behind the main hall.

When Ya Ruo reached the entrance of the hall, she heard laughter coming from inside, it can be seen that everyone was very happy to coax the queen mother and aunt.

She walked in quickly, greeted her empress dowager's aunt and two concubines, and after meeting the concubines and the royal Fujin in the palace, she followed the empress dowager's order and stood behind her old man.

Kong Sizhen came over a long time ago and stood behind the queen mother. Seeing Yaruo approaching, she couldn't help but took her hand and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here now? The queen mother has asked her several times just now."

"I'm homesick, I'm not in a good mood!" Ya Ruo said in a low voice, but she didn't hide anything from Kong Sizhen.

Kong Sizhen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

She was also homesick, but she never said it out of the way, because her home had been destroyed long ago. From the moment her father and mother died, she had no home.

"Sister, let's not talk about this, there are so many people today!" Ya Ruo saw that something was wrong with Kong Sizhen, and quickly changed the subject.

"That's right, I counted roughly, and there are more than [-] Fujins who came to the banquet." Kong Sizhen said in a low voice.

"That's not all of them coming. Those who can come today are the family members of the nobles who are powerful in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If they all come, I'm afraid there won't be enough room in this hall!" Ya Ruo laughed softly.

"What did the two girls say?" The queen mother turned her head to look at Yaruo and asked with a smile.

"Go back to the queen mother's aunt, we said that there are many people here today." Ya Ruo leaned over and whispered in the queen mother's ear.

"Little girl!" The Queen Mother couldn't help reaching out and poking Ya Ruo's forehead lightly, and personally picked up the small plate on her desk and handed it to Ya Ruo: "Try this persimmon cake, Ai Jia thinks it tastes good."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager Aunt!" Ya Ruo took it with a smile, and gave one to Kong Sizhen.

But this scene fell into the eyes of everyone in the hall, and everyone had more thoughts.

"Zhen'er, almost all the noble children of the royal family have arrived today. Those who can't enter the Ai family and the emperor's eyes are not qualified to come to the banquet. Later, you can choose carefully and tell the Ai family who you like. When the time comes... The family will give you a marriage." The queen mother took Kong Sizhen's hand and said in a low voice.

Kong Sizhen blushed a little when she heard the words, she opened her mouth, she wanted to say something, but couldn't speak.

The Queen Mother was so enthusiastic that she couldn't refuse.

Two days ago, the Empress Dowager asked her about it, and wanted her to stay in the palace as the emperor's concubine, but she refused. As for the reason for the refusal, of course it was because...she was engaged.

But Ya Ruo was also at the side at that time, telling the Queen Mother that her fiancé, Sun Yanling, was not good, so the Queen Mother wanted her to choose one of the royal family's children, and divorce Sun Yanling.

In all fairness, Kong Sizhen doesn't want to marry at all now, she hates Sun Yanling very much, but she also doesn't want to marry into the royal family, and doesn't want to marry those royal children.

"Sister Zhen, I'll take a look for you later." Ya Ruo saw that Kong Sizhen lowered her head, her complexion was a little flushed, and she thought she was embarrassed, so she hurriedly said in a low voice.

When the palace banquet starts, everyone will sit in the main hall, with the female relatives sitting on one side, and the royal family and nobles sitting on the other side. Maybe others dare not look at those men casually, but she dares.

"Don't look at it, how old are you? The Ai family hasn't planned to marry you off yet." The queen mother looked at Yaruo and said with a half-smile.

"Ya Ruo helped Sister Zhen read it." Ya Ruo said in a low voice.

Seeing Ya Ruo's excited face, the queen mother really didn't know what to say, this girl... became more and more courageous.

Not long after, someone reported that everything was in order in the main hall.

"Let's go to the banquet with Ai's family." The queen mother said with a smile.

"Yes!" The crowd hurriedly surrounded the Queen Mother to the main hall, and sat down in their respective seats under the guidance of the maids.

Ya Ruo and Kong Sizhen no longer stood behind the queen mother, because the queen mother sat in the first place with the emperor, and their seats were with the concubines in the palace. Dolan is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace.
