Chapter 73 Brown Sugar Rose Crisp Palace Banquet (9)
Princess Jialan and Han Qian kowtowed to Concubine Zhuang Yi again.

Princess Jialan said respectfully, "Jialan pays her respects."

Han Qian kowtowed twice in a row, and let go after Jialan finished speaking: "Qian'er wishes New Year greetings to the emperor, and New Year greetings to Zhuang Yi's mother, wishing the emperor a happy new year and a long life. I wish my mother all the best, and the youth will stay forever." .”

Concubine Zhuang Yi couldn't help laughing without waiting for the emperor to speak: "Look at the sweet little mouth."

Emperor Jinglong sat up straight with his elbows on the warm couch, looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile, "You all get up. Qian'er, come to Uncle."

"Thank you, father." Princess Jialan thanked En and got up and stood beside the eldest princess.

"Yes." Han Qian agreed, stood up, walked to the warm couch, took the initiative to grab the emperor's hand, and took the initiative to plead guilty: "Uncle, Qian'er slept too deeply yesterday, and I didn't have time to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. Please don't blame the emperor."

"It's New Year's Eve, what can you say if it's a crime or not." The emperor smiled amiably, as if the person who killed someone on New Year's Eve was not him at all.

"It's good that the emperor doesn't get angry. After my mother went back last night, she really taught Qian'er a lesson." Han Qian said, and quietly glanced at the eldest princess next to her.Of course, it is impossible for the eldest princess to 'really teach' her. This is just that the eldest princess repeatedly said on the way here how wrong and sinful she was for not being able to enter the palace yesterday, so this girl is standing in front of the emperor at this moment. The aggrieved and aggrieved appearance is really pitiful.

"If you don't come again today, the emperor will be angry." The emperor said, turning around and looking around, seeing that there was nothing to take, he took off a tourmaline bracelet from his wrist and put it in Han Qian's hand, " This is for you, it’s lucky money.”

"Uh!" Han Qian's hands are too small, and the string of tourmaline bracelets is huge. Holding the string of bracelets, Han Qian feels very heavy, and suddenly thinks about such a heavy thing. How tired should it be on hand?
The eldest princess knew that this string of bracelets was a gift from the late emperor. The emperor has never left his body since he ascended the throne, but today she took it off easily and gave it to Han Qian. It's extraordinary, how can she bear it as a child."

"It's just a string of bracelets, so why not bear it." The emperor smiled indifferently, then turned his head to look at Princess Jialan, and suddenly asked, "Why are you here alone? Where's your youngest daughter? Why don't you bring it to my grandfather to see?"

Princess Jialan was overwhelmed by flattery. It had been two years since her daughter was born, and this was the first time the emperor asked her a question, so she hurriedly turned around and replied, "Responding to the emperor's words, that child is very timid. It made her dare not go out, and cried when she came out, which made people feel upset."

"Daughter's family, it's more expensive, so it's better to be educated." The emperor smiled.

Jialan hurriedly bowed her body and replied, "Yes, my daughter has remembered my father's teaching."

While talking, the maids outside came in and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the imperial concubine and the third princess are here. And the concubine Hui, the concubine Shu and the masters of the palaces are also here."

Concubine Zhuang Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Please."

For a while, the imperial concubine held the hand of her daughter, Princess Jiaying, and brought seven or eight concubines in to greet the emperor. After that, everyone greeted each other according to their seniority.For a while, the room was full of greetings and auspicious words for the new year.

The emperor leaned on the couch and watched lazily, without saying anything.

After everyone finished greeting each other and took their seats, Concubine Zhuang Yi turned around and went back to the emperor: "The banquet is ready, will your majesty move?"

The emperor nodded slowly, stretched out his hand to support Concubine Zhuang Yi's arm, and replied as he got up: "Let's go. Let's see what delicious food and drink you have prepared today."

"Slow down, Your Majesty." Concubine Zhuang Yi was so weak that she could hardly stand still, but she still managed to support the emperor to sit up.

The imperial concubine next to her also stepped forward to support the emperor from the other side, and sighed with a smile: "Sister Zhuang Concubine is also weak."

Concubine Zhuang Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay."

The emperor took a look at Concubine Zhuang Yi's haggardness that could not be concealed even after putting on rouge, and sighed helplessly: "You and I have the same disease and pity for each other."

Concubine Zhuang Yi smiled gently, stepped forward to tidy up the skirt and sleeves for the emperor, and said softly: "What your Majesty said warms the heart of my concubine. Speaking of which, this is my concubine's blessing."

Han Qian watched from the side, thinking that the domineering concubine of the imperial concubine could not match the gentleness and obedience of Concubine Zhuang Yi after all. It seemed that the emperor liked Concubine Zhuang Yi more. This person is really strange. He obviously only likes one. Get so many people in front of you?
The emperor helped the two concubines to stand up, Concubine Hui hurriedly took the sable cloak from the hand of the maid and put it on him, and then this group of women surrounded the Lord of the World like stars holding the moon, came out of the warm living room and turned around for two Pass the screen, go out, and walk through the long corridor to the backyard of Yihe Palace.

A burst of rich and sweet fragrance of flowers rushed to the face, and the emperor couldn't help but pause. Looking at the plum blossoms all over the yard, he smiled lightly and said, "This year's plum blossoms bloomed later, but it's just in time for today's scene."

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know, but this is the painstaking efforts of sister Zhuang Yi. These plum blossoms have been kept in the house without sunlight, and the temperature has been controlled, so they have not bloomed for a long time, and we are only waiting for today."

The emperor turned his head and glanced at the thin Concubine Zhuang Yi beside him. The purple phoenix-pattern feather satin cloak and the snow-white fox fur fur overwhelmed her clean face like a white plum. Feeling pity surged in his heart, he stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Zhuang Yi's hand , sighed in a low voice: "My concubine has a heart."

"Your Majesty likes it, and it is worthwhile for my concubine to do anything." Concubine Zhuang Yi did not look complacent. The ups and downs of the harem for more than ten or twenty years have long trained her calm temperament, and she has long been not one of those who are easily moved. The excited little girl, facing the emperor's concern, blessed her body decently, pointed to the glass greenhouse among the plum blossoms, and said: "Your Majesty, the banquet will be held in the greenhouse. Some people can't stand it, let's go in first, shall we?"

"Okay." The emperor naturally knew that Concubine Zhuang Yi said that her body couldn't bear it, but he was actually more worried that his body couldn't bear it. He thought of her gentleness and consideration, so he took her hand and walked down the steps to the greenhouse.

The ground dragon is burning under the glass greenhouse, and the greenhouse is as warm as spring. Dozens of pots of orchids are quietly blooming on the delicate sandalwood flower stand, which is another realm compared with the luxuriant plum blossoms outside.

"Aifei has raised so many orchids?" The emperor looked around in surprise, unable to hide the joy on his face.

In fact, even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he is not a god, he is not a god, and he cannot have no desires and desires.As long as he lives in the mortal world, as long as he still eats the fireworks in the mortal world, he has a mortal heart and hopes to be cared and loved.
