Chapter 1182

The New Year's Eve feast of ordinary people in Yue country is always late.

It means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Generally, they will eat until half past midnight (twelve o'clock in the evening), which means saying goodbye to the old year and ushering in the new year.

However, due to concerns about the empress dowager's advanced age, it is naturally impossible for the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace to last so late, just like a normal dinner.

Even in previous years, they ate early.

Because it is necessary to give the courtiers time to go home and reunite with their wives and children.

It is not yet Haishi (nine o'clock in the evening), and there is still time before the new year.

On weekdays, he would already be asleep at this time in February, but he slept a long time during the day today, and he had a lot of fun at the dinner party, so he didn't feel sleepy at all.

With his eyes wide open, he came out from behind Su Luo: "Royal father, where do you want to take the queen mother to play, I will go too!"

Wei Shu rubbed his head: "Then let's go together!"

Su Luo followed him all the way out of the palace gate, and found that the carriage had already been prepared.

It seems that he arranged it early in the morning.

On New Year's Eve, there were almost no pedestrians on the street except the patrolling soldiers, and every household was in reunion.

Tonight, no matter whether they have money or not, the whole family will sit together, have a lively meal, summarize the old year, and look forward to the new year.

Although there is no one there, there are still many red lanterns hanging on the street, which adds to the festive atmosphere.

Su Luo opened the curtain to look at it, and said approvingly: "Did Xiao Fei ask people to hang these lanterns? He can do things!"

Wei Shu took a look: "I'm not good at aesthetics, these lanterns are ugly!"

In the year when the first emperor left, that is, last year, many disasters occurred in the country of Yue.

From the war in the north, to the flood in the south, to the smallpox in Yecheng, and finally the death of the former emperor, it was a dark year.

However, after Wei Shu came to the throne, under a series of governance, although the country is not safe and the people are safe, food and clothing for the people is no problem at all.

For ordinary people, if they can eat enough and not go hungry, if they can save a little, it will be a good year.

At this moment, these swaying red lanterns light up the road ahead of the carriage and the hearts of the people in Yecheng.

Let them believe that as long as Wei Shu is around, this day will always get better.

Su Luo took a closer look at the lantern, and remembered something, and a gentle light appeared in his eyes: "Compared to the lanterns of the Lantern Festival, it is naturally far worse!"

Wei Shu also had a distant look on his face, and smiled at Su Luo.

Er Yue, caught in the middle, hiccupped hard.

I don't know why, but I suddenly feel so full!
The Duke of Qi's mansion is also having a New Year's Eve banquet, a lively family.

The old lady is about to leave the stage. She is getting old, and her health has been deteriorating this year. She has been lying on the hospital bed several times, and she can't last long.

Nanny Liu supported her and was about to get up when the butler led Xiao Fuzi in.

Xiao Fuzi was the eunuch next to Wei Shu, and everyone stood up one after another, thinking that it was some kind of reward from His Majesty.

On New Year's Eve, sometimes some dishes will be rewarded in the palace.

This is a great favor, and those who have received the reward will not really eat this dish, they just taste it and offer it in front of the ancestral tablet.

Little Fuzi kept silent with a smile on his face, Duke Qi couldn't hold back and asked: "Eunuch Fu, but what orders does Your Majesty have?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Luo's bright voice sounded outside: "No instructions, Ashu is thinking about the meals at Duke Qi's mansion, come home with me for a reunion dinner!"

From the moment the carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Qi's mansion, Su Luo knew what Wei Shu meant.

There is an ancient poem that says: I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, only because I am in this mountain!

When Wei Shu was in the Duke of Qi's mansion, he didn't feel much love and care, and even felt lonely for a time.

But after I became a prince and an emperor, I got out and looked back, and found that this period is actually a precious time in life.

Princess Pingning did make things difficult for him in every possible way, but the old lady always protected him.

A pair of siblings are also very attached to him.

Although Qi Guogong is not in Yecheng most of the time, whenever he comes back, he will try his best to close the relationship between father and son.

Now that I think about it, my temperament was too cold in the past.

From now on, Mrs. Gao said at the banquet that every day is getting less and less, which reminded Wei Shu of the old lady.

Compared with the empress dowager, this grandmother treated him better, spent more time with him, and had a deeper relationship.

The old lady's health was getting worse and worse. Wei Shu didn't want to wait until she lost it to regret it, so he came out on a temporary basis.

The people in the room were all amazed when they saw that they were coming.

Princess Pingning was the first to react, knelt down to salute, and soon everyone knelt down.

Wei Shu stepped forward to support the trembling old lady, and said, "Get up, I'm not here today as an emperor, but as a nephew and grandson. You don't need to be formal!"

The old lady was old and dim-sighted. She stretched out her trembling hand and touched the back of Wei Shu's hand and face, her eyes were red: "Okay, okay, it's great to see my little Shu, that's great, that's great!"

The little adult went up to Er Yue and saluted the old lady: "I met my great-grandmother in Er Yue!"

The old lady nodded and waved to him, tears rolling down her eyes.

Er Yue approached, and the old lady stretched out her rough hands to touch his face, because her old eyes were dim, she moved very close to see him clearly.

But in the blink of an eye, she opened the distance again, took out her handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm so happy, don't frighten the little prince."

She squeezed Er Yue's arms and shoulders with her hands, and said with a look of relief: "The little prince has grown up to be a little boy, great-grandmother is so happy, so happy!"

When Wei Shu was still the son of Duke Qi, she had been looking forward to holding her great-grandson, but now seeing the little prince growing up like mushrooms after a rain, one can imagine the excitement in her heart.

February is called a little boy, and I am very happy in my heart.

Children are always willing to be treated as adults, and Er Yue got close to the old lady unconsciously, leaning on the old lady's lap.

Because of his arrival, the old lady regained her energy and sat down again.

Su Luo and Wei Shu made it clear today that they did not want to be emperors and empresses. After a brief adjustment, the atmosphere returned to the previous state.

It's even hotter than before.

Jiang Yingying and Jiang Ye were very happy.

Needless to say, Jiang Yingying, she is already fifteen years old, a fair lady, a gentleman, and she is no longer the little chubby girl who was laughed at when she went out.

And Jiang Ye also surprised Su Luo.

After all, I haven't seen him for more than half a year. This child has grown taller, and his eyebrows are five or six points similar to Wei Shu, but his facial features are more heroic, while Wei Shu is soft and beautiful!
After a lively meal, the third wife frequently gave her daughter Jiang Ru winks.
