Chapter 71 Brown Sugar Rose Crisp Palace Banquet (7)
The prince waved his hand impatiently: "Is there anything else? Don't pay attention to the marriage between Wei Tiantian and Han Jianshi in the future. There is nothing to say about this matter."

Qianye thought for a while, and then replied: "The trivial matters at the Princess's Mansion have been transferred to Han Jiankai and his wife, and Han Jianyuan and his wife are now concentrating on taking care of the Zhongyihou Mansion..."

The crown prince waved his hand impatiently again: "Understood, there is no need to talk about this."

"Then... Yesterday, when the servant was giving the New Year's gift to the eldest princess's mansion, I happened to meet the little princess, and the little princess told the servant that I haven't thanked you for the matter of little Yunbao."

"Well..." Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but raised his hand to rub the place on his cheek that was kissed by a certain girl a long time ago, and asked lightly, "What else did she say?"

"The little princess said that she also prepared an annual gift for the prince, but she can't give it yet."

"A gift for me too?" The prince sat up straight in surprise, and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Uh... this, the little princess didn't tell the servant!" Qianye said, taking a sneak look at the disappointment on the prince's face, and added, "The servant asked, but the little princess said, wait for the prince I knew it when I went to the princess mansion for New Year wine."

The crown prince nodded, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "What is the new year's wine arrangement for the eldest princess' mansion?"

"This...slave has to look through this booklet. This year's annual wine is not compared to previous years, and the arrangement is really tight." Qianye said, pulling out a booklet from his arms and carefully flipping through it.

Last year, the crown prince was only the fourth prince, Prince Yu, far less popular than King Xian, even King Qing Yunzhi or Xiang Wang Yunci.

However, this year, he is already a prince under one person and above ten thousand people.Unlike other princes, the crown prince is the heir apparent and the future master of the world. Even if the ministers in the court are secretly dissatisfied, they must do their best in the open.

For the sake of the prince's contacts, Tai Fu Lu Ji acted as the prince's half host, accepted most of the invitations, and specially arranged the order of the annual wine into a booklet, and gave them to Qianye Qianxun respectively. Get ready, be ready to answer the prince when he asks questions, and remind the prince when he forgets. In short, this matter is very important, very important!

"Returning to my grandfather, the New Year's wine in the Princess's Mansion is arranged on the fourth day of the new year."

"The fourth day..." Yun Shuo leaned back slowly again, looked at the gorgeous carved beams and painted buildings on the roof, and sighed secretly, suddenly felt how the days passed so slowly?

Chinese New Year is so cumbersome every year, and this year is no exception.

The people in the imperial capital did not change their enthusiasm for the New Year because the imperial court raided the homes of dozens of officials, nor did they lose their courage because the emperor killed Liao Guotao on New Year's Eve.Every corner of Yundu City is still full of laughter and laughter, and the sound of firecrackers is continuous, one after another.

Amidst the roaring firecrackers and the sky filled with fireworks, Yun Shuo silently watched the new year for his father, mother and concubine in his prince's mansion, and then entered the palace with the sound of New Year's cheers to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.Then he went to visit his mother-in-law.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor will have a grand banquet for his ministers in the palace.

The imperial concubine also invited all the female family members of the royal family to the Hall of Yanxi Palace in the harem, and everyone celebrated the New Year together.

The eldest princess was naturally also among those invited, but Han Qian didn't sleep much because of the fireworks display the night before. When the adults were about to enter the palace for the banquet, she fell asleep again.

The nanny yelled twice and couldn't wake up, so she couldn't bear to rush, because she discussed with the eldest princess that the little princess was still young, so she wouldn't go to the palace to kowtow to the emperor and the ladies.

The eldest princess looked at her daughter who was sleeping like a piglet on the bed, and thought of her quarrel with Princess Jiaying, so she sighed: "Let her sleep well, I have my own explanation for the imperial concubine."

So Han Qian hugged her Miao Miao in the warm blanket, and fell asleep until the afternoon, when she opened her eyes and saw the nanny who was guarding beside her picking Buddha beans, she really felt a little dazed and didn't know what year and month it was.

The nanny heard the sound of silk rubbing and turned around, and saw that Han Qian had sat up in a daze, so she hurriedly put the dustpan aside and covered it with a clean handkerchief, and came up to touch Han Qian With sweaty forehead, he asked softly: "Little princess, do you want to clean the bucket?"

"Hmm..." Han Qian shook his head and said hoarsely, "I'm thirsty."

"Pingguo, bring tea to the princess." The nanny ordered outside, and she took Han Qian's feather satin jacket and put it on for her.

The maids outside heard the order and hurriedly filed in, each holding mouthwash tea, warm boiled water, and brocade soap for washing their faces.

After Han Qian rinsed her mouth, she drank half a glass of boiled water, and the maids helped her wash her face and comb her hair.

"Where's mother? Why is the house so quiet? Isn't it Chinese New Year?"

"Master Hou, the eldest princess and several masters have all entered the palace to receive the banquet." The nanny said, turned her head to look outside the window, and sighed, "It's getting late, and it's time to come back."

"They went to the palace to receive the banquet, why didn't they bring me!" Han Qian pouted immediately.

The nanny laughed and sighed: "Little ancestor! The servant has called you several times. You sleep so soundly, and you can't wake up! Besides, if there is anything delicious in the palace, the eldest princess will give it to you." Bring it back."

"But, I haven't been in the palace for a long time." Han Qian scratched his chin and silently counted the days, but found that the days were too long to be counted.

There was laughter outside the door, and then the door curtain rang, two people, Han Jun and Han Jin, ran in one after another. They each held two bunches of candied haws in their hands, and they came forward as if offering treasures: "Little aunt, little aunt, hurry up, Sugar-coated haws!"

"Where did it come from?!" Han Qian looked at the red candied haws in surprise, reached out to take a bunch of Han Jin's hands, and asked.

"The cook in the kitchen made it herself! There is a cook over at the Hou's Mansion who can make all kinds of delicious candied haws! Not only hawthorns can be made, but also yams, oranges, and apples!" Han Jin said happily Said.

"And sweet potatoes!" Han Jun added.

"And taro!" Han Jin added, not to be outdone.

In fact, candied gourds are not uncommon for Han Qian. She wants to eat them every minute.But at this moment, at this moment, the two strings in front of her are still very attractive to her.

While persuading the nanny, she ordered someone to bring a bowl of porridge, a stack of dumplings and two side dishes: "Little ancestor, you can only eat two. I haven't eaten for a day, and my stomach is empty. It's so sour to eat." Sweet things turn sour."

"I'll just eat two!" Han Qian said reluctantly.

The nanny asked Han Jun and Han Jin again: "Are you two young masters hungry too? Why don't you eat some fried dumplings together?"
