Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 467

For the emperor, there is actually no difference between celebrating the new year and not celebrating the new year. If there is a real difference, the most is the leisure time, which is more than usual.

Even if the seal is sealed during the Chinese New Year, when some things need to be dealt with, they still have to be dealt with.

In a blink of an eye, it's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and starting tomorrow, it's time to go to court again.

From the first day to the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Emperor Chen spent most of his time in Fengyang Palace, and the eldest princess came almost every day to play with his younger brothers.

Concubine Lu Hui, on the other hand, knew that the emperor was in Fengyang Palace, so she seldom came.

It's already very good now, she doesn't dare to be greedy for other things.

"I can't see the lanterns this year." Last year, Su Qingning went out of the palace with Emperor Chen to watch the lanterns on the street.

At that time, something almost happened, but fortunately there were hidden guards following, so nothing happened.

Not this year, she is a month old, and it is freezing and snowy outside, if something happens, it will be too late to regret.

"I'm going to take you to see it next year. I'm afraid I'll wrong you this year. If you want to see it, I'll have someone hold a lantern festival for you in the palace. How about it?"

Hearing the regret in Su Qingning's tone, Emperor Chen looked at her and discussed with her.

"I'm just saying, the emperor doesn't need to care about it. It's not impossible to hold a lantern festival in the palace, but it consumes too much, so don't waste it."

It doesn't matter if you don't go to the street, she just said it casually, she didn't expect that the emperor wanted to hold a lantern festival for her in the palace, she was very happy.

Su Qingning said so, Emperor Chen nodded with a smile, indeed, it is easy to hold a lantern festival, and the money that can be spent is by no means a small number.

Right now, the national treasury is not too empty, and it is possible to save as much as possible. No one knows what will happen in this new year.

Although he will only go to court tomorrow, Chendi has already pretended to have a lot of things in his heart.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the Dayuan envoy failed to appear at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, and until now, he is still lying down in the post house.

On the contrary, envoys from other countries have already left the capital one after another, heading back to their own country.

The envoy's injury has healed a lot, but until now, no one who hurt him has been caught.

Emperor Chen suspected that it was their own people who did the work, but there was no evidence, and it could only be conjecture.

The letter was sent to Dayuan, but there is no news yet. After all, the distance is too far. By the time the letter is sent back, the messenger must have recovered from his injuries.

Seeing that Emperor Chen seemed to have something on his mind, Su Qingning didn't bother him. The children played very well in the hall, and she and the emperor prepared the toys for the two children's birthdays.

In the capital city, Su Qingning was unable to go to the street to watch the lantern festival because she was pregnant. Shen Xiao and Gu Sheng had already made an appointment to go to the street to watch the lantern festival in the northwest of Guanzhong.

Shen Li and her husband Shen Congwen will also go, but they won't be with Shen Xiao and Gu Sheng, they are with Zhishu and Zhihua.

After all, Gu Sheng and Shen Xiao wanted to cultivate their relationship, as elders, they naturally had eyesight.

…………

Chu Yurou and Zi Xiao were doing embroidery work, when there was a knock on the door, Zi Xiao got up to open the door, Chu Yurou continued to do embroidery work.

On weekdays, she seldom goes out, even if it is Chinese New Year now, she spends most of her time at home.

Finish Yuan Yi's embroidery work earlier, and pay back the favor earlier. There are too many favors owed, and she will never let it go if she has a chance to repay.

The door opened, and it was Yuan Yi outside the door. Zi Xiao was a little surprised, and turned to shout into the room.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Yi came again, Chu Yurou frowned, put down the embroidery in her hand, got up and walked towards the door.

Before reaching the door, Yuan Yi entered the room with a clear heart.

"I didn't expect that I've done so much embroidery work. Miss Chu has worked so hard for this New Year's Eve." Seeing the embroidery work, Qing Xin stepped forward to look at it, and then said.

Yuan Yi's gaze shifted from embroidery work to Chu Yurou's body. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he intends to invite Chu Yurou to the streets, and by the way, stage a heroic rescue of the beauty, adding to the relationship between the two.

"Master Yuan, Miss Qingxin, why do you have time to come?" Chu Yurou asked after inviting the two to sit down.

"Today is the Shangyuan Festival. At night, the city will be very lively. Miss Chu, can you do me a favor? Let's go to the street to watch lanterns at night."

Looking at Chu Yurou, Qingxin smiled and said, what she represents is naturally Yuan Yi.

Although she said the words, Chu Yurou always felt that this was what Yuan Yi wanted to say. She noticed that Yuan Yi had been looking at her with a bit of burning eyes, which gave her an indescribable feeling in her heart. .

"This..." Chu Yurou was a little hesitant. She really planned to go to see the lanterns at night with Zixiao. She never thought that Yuan Yi and Qingxin would come.

"Miss Chu, let's go. The lanterns on the street are very beautiful. Not only that, there will be a grand fireworks this year. What a pity to be at home on such a good day!"

Qingxin continued to persuade, Chu Yurou hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

If she doesn't agree, when she goes out with Zi Xiao at night, if they run into each other, it will be very embarrassing.

The left and right are just going to the street together, and today is the Lantern Festival, there will be a lot of people on the street, but it's no big deal.

Seeing her nodding, Qingxin was very happy, "Since that's the case, come to pick up Miss Chu and Miss Zixiao at night, and we'll leave first."

He has already been invited to go to the street together, if he invites him to dinner or something, he is afraid that the other party will not agree, so Qingxin simply doesn't say anything.

"Then see you tonight." It was approaching noon, and if they wanted to keep people, they would have to prepare lunch. They didn't have much food left, not enough to entertain guests.

If they went out to eat, whoever paid for it was not guaranteed, so Chu Yurou didn't stay much.

Sending Yuan Yi and Qing Xin to the door, Chu Yurou breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Yi suddenly turned around and looked at her, "Miss Chu, see you tonight."

There was friendship in his eyes, and Chu Yurou could see that she responded quickly, her heart beating wildly.

When Yuan Yi and the others left, Chu Yurou returned to the room, frowning slightly, she always had an indescribable feeling towards Yuan Yi.

"Miss, why do I think that Mr. Yuan is interested in you?" Zi Xiao looked at her and said her own thoughts. She had such thoughts before.

"Don't talk nonsense." She said so, but Chu Yurou didn't think so in her heart, and the friendship remained in her mind.

"Continue to do the embroidery work, and finish it quickly so that you can send it to them." Taking a deep breath, throwing away the thoughts in her mind, Chu Yurou sat down next to the embroidery work again.

Zi Xiao responded and sat down with her. Knowing that her master didn't want to talk about Yuan Yi, she changed the subject.

Yuan Yi, who left with Qing Xin, was sitting in the carriage, heading back to Yuan Mansion.

Originally, it was good for Qingxin to invite Chu Yurou to the Lantern Festival, but for the sake of effect, he went there himself, and there will be a good show tonight.
