Nongmen's fierce wife busy farming

Chapter 1153
Han Jing helped her gather her clothes, and directly told Yun Ni, "Just wake up the prince, and let the princess continue to sleep."

New Year's sacrifices and blessings only need the appearance of the prince.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The family of three went to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, located northeast of the queen, in a palanquin after washing.

In the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, there are palace people who have already prepared everything.

According to the rules, the emperor offered incense and prayed for blessings, hoping that the weather would be smooth and the country peaceful and the people safe.The second is to seek the peace of the ancestors and protect the descendants...

After some worship, when they returned to Changchun Palace, it happened to be five o'clock.
At five o'clock, firecrackers blare, fireworks bloom, and the new year begins.

With the congratulations from the palace people, Bai Ningxiang and Han Jing sat in the first place and accepted the worship of their children. Even the two youngest were hugged by the nanny and kowtowed and said auspicious words.

For the first New Year in the palace, Bai Ningxiang was not stingy, and prepared a lot of festive purses early on.

See you happy in the new year, either silver naked seeds, silver peanuts, golden melon seeds, wishful buttons, a lot of purses mixed together, what you get depends on luck.

The more this is the case, the more lively the atmosphere is. After the palace servants get the purse, they can show off if they get together in twos or threes.

The palace people took turns to pay New Year's greetings, and the first meal of the New Year was also served on the table.

New Year's auspicious fruit, longan steamed buns, ingot dumplings... All food means good luck and good luck.Not only is the appearance exquisite, but the taste is also a unique palace taste.

The New Year's meals are all prepared in advance by Shangshi and sent to Bai Ningxiang to have a look, and only after confirmation can they be served on the table.

For the sake of auspiciousness, each dish has its own meaning, including the noon banquet, Bai Ningxiang also checked all of them, and discussed with the manager of Shangshi to decide the menu.

After a lot of tossing, Bai Ningxiang also discovered that many rules in the court etiquette originated from folk customs, but they were passed down year by year, and many rules have undergone some changes.

But still can see the shadow of some folk customs.

After the five watch meal, Bai Ningxiang and Han Jing went back to the main hall and sat down to drink tea.

The difference from previous years is that they are emperors and empresses, and they don't need to go out to pay New Year's greetings to others. Instead, they sit in the hall and wait for their courtiers and wives to come to worship.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Jing got up, "I'm going to Daming Palace, all the courtiers should have arrived. Don't tire yourself out, the queen, just chat a few words and send them to Xuanbao Palace to wait."

"Understood, I won't tire myself."

The courtier ordered his wife to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and men and women were separated.

The banquet was still arranged in the Xuanbao Hall.

When the sky was getting dark, the palace servants came to report, "I want to report to the empress, Mrs. Feng has brought her family to pay New Year's greetings."

Hearing old lady Feng, Bai Ningxiang couldn't help but frown, she was the first one so early.

"Welcome in,"

She didn't expect to be the first to face the Feng family and make trouble.

Bai Ningxiang was dressed in a queen's dress, sitting at the head, watching the Feng family's elders and children entering the hall with smiles, especially the old Madam Feng, who was dressed in a red dress and a squirrel hair cloak, surrounded by his wife and granddaughter , looks gorgeous and extravagant.

"My wife wishes the empress a happy new year and all the best." Following Mrs. Feng's lead, the daughter-in-law and granddaughter behind her knelt on the ground together and bowed down.

"Pingshen, bestow a seat."

Bai Ningxiang raised her hand and looked at Mrs. Feng, "I also wish the old lady a healthy new year and a happy life."

"Thank you Queen Empress."

After Mrs. Feng was helped to sit down, Bai Ningxiang asked Qinglian to hand out the prepared gifts.

After receiving another wave of thanks, Bai Ningxiang looked at the Feng family who were sitting down, and took a sip of tea.

Mrs. Feng looked around and smiled kindly, "Why haven't I seen Princess Zhaoxia? Ever since the return of the Emperor and Empress, I haven't had the honor to see the princess."

"This kid Zhaoxia can't sit still, she must have gone to look for her brother again. I will send someone to the front hall to have a look."

Bai Ningxiang smiled gently, and pestered her brother to set off fireworks after dinner, maybe hiding in a corner to play at the moment.

"It's a child's nature to be lively and active, and it's a good thing. The empress has been living in the south all these years. I heard that there is a spring-like season there. When I suddenly returned to Kyoto, I don't know if I can adapt?"

"Thank you, old lady, for your concern. The children were all born in the south. I have never seen the winter in Kyoto. In fact, I was also worried that they would not adapt. I have been observing them. Fortunately, the roots of my ancestors are here, but I haven't found them yet. Inappropriate."

Speaking of the children, Bai Ningxiang's expression softened a lot.

Mrs. Feng nodded, as if feeling something,
"That's good. The empress is the mother of a country and a person of great blessing. It's a pity that my poor daughter has no chance to see her grandson... Forgive me, the empress. On the festive day of the Chinese New Year, I actually talked about these things , really shouldn’t be.”

Seeing old lady Feng's annoyed expression, Bai Ningxiang picked up her tea and took a sip, too lazy to argue with an old lady.

"The old lady is right. It is indeed a pity that the mother did not see her grandson. Don't say that the old lady is regretful. Why is this palace and the emperor not regretful? Especially the emperor, who was in a hurry and still had no time to see his parents. The capital suddenly changed, thanks With the secret help of Lord Sinong Qinglou, father and mother were able to settle properly."

Mrs. Feng listened to the queen's indifferent tone, after being stunned for a while, she felt embarrassed.

She didn't expect Bai Ningxiang to be so disrespectful to herself, she just sighed as an old mother, she just wanted to get closer.

After his daughter married into the Han family, the master guessed this day.

On the night of the Han family's accident, the Feng family did not receive any news. By the time they received the news, it was too late.

The master also sent people to investigate secretly, but found nothing. When she heard the news of her daughter's death, she also cried bitterly.

Later, I learned that there was no one left alive in the Han family, and the city was in turmoil again. People who died could not be brought back to life. In order to protect the Feng family, the master had to order to thank guests behind closed doors.

They also didn't expect that Brother Ting would come back early, and Lou Xiuqing would secretly contact Brother Ting, not only saving Xiaoqi, but also disposing of her daughter's body.

During the nephew's enthronement ceremony, when he was appointed as a hundred officials, the Lou family's limelight was too high, the master specially sent someone to investigate, and only then did he know what the Lou family boy was doing secretly.

Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, and the Lou family has made a profit.

The Feng family's official positions, except for the master who returned to the Imperial College, the other three sons are not high-ranking, but the master didn't say anything, the sons were very dissatisfied, and felt that Brother Ting was too indifferent to the uncles.

The master said that Brother Ting was a courageous kid, and he would definitely be able to make some achievements.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of the harem, sending the daughters of the Feng family into the palace, earning some glory for the Feng family, no matter how close the relationship is, it is not as good as the daughter of the Feng family entering the palace in person.
