Red makeup against the world

Chapter 931
Her secret will no longer be at risk of being revealed by Yao Zhiyue.

Concubine Yao will not take any risk for her, she will wait for the canonization after the crown prince ascends the throne.

The backyard is stable, and Yao Shangshu can concentrate on political affairs.The strategy of sending elite soldiers to the north that he presented before was right for Emperor Qinglong.After Zhu Zihou resigned, the position of a bachelor can also be considered.

The fierce light in Mrs. Yao's eyes became more and more intense.

Following Yao Shangshu from a humble student to today, her position is unbreakable.All this is not because of Yao Shangshu's deep affection for her.Rather, she has a habit of nibbling danger in the bud.

It's just that the danger now comes from her most beloved daughter, which makes her unable to make up her mind.

"Ma'am," the servant girl came in and bowed her knees and said, "The imperial doctor is here."

Mrs. Yao's heart shuddered, and she came back to her senses.

She did not send anyone to invite the imperial physician.And according to Empress Cao's attitude towards her in the palace, the imperial physician had already given Yao Zhiyue a diagnosis and treatment in the palace, so she definitely would not take the initiative to send the imperial physician to visit her at this time.

The only remaining possibility is that Yao Shangshu was invited.

Mrs. Yao stood up, her eyes regained her usual composure. "Please."

That's right, Yao Zhiyue is now engaged to the Quan family.This marriage was an expedient measure before, but with the exile of Gu Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment, Quan Moxian's status has been rising day by day.

At this time, Yao Zhiyue's importance in Yao Shangshu's eyes was different from before.

As one of the six Shangshu, Yao Shangshu has no time to care about the thoughts of Yao Zhiyue's daughters, nor does he want to ask the reason why he fell into the water in the palace.

He only knew that since Yao Zhiyue had offended the empress, only by marrying Yao Zhiyue into the Quan family, could the Yao family maximize their benefits.

It has to be said that Mrs. Yao knew Yao Shangshu best, and guessed his thoughts by [-]% to [-]% in just a moment.

She sighed in her heart, so she couldn't touch Yao Zhiyue, and had to take good care of her.Otherwise, Yao Shangshu would be more serious, and he would not be able to hide those past events from him.

The love for Yao Zhiyue, after these several tosses, only [-] to [-]% remained in Mrs. Yao's heart.She was not a kind person in the first place, and compared to her status of power, what was a young girl?

Seeing the imperial physician taking Yao Zhiyue's pulse, Mrs. Yao smiled kindly on the surface, but sneered inwardly.

Yao Shangshu really doesn't understand his daughter too well, Yao Zhiyue has gone crazy now, how could he obediently marry Quan Moxian according to his idea.

She was just waiting, waiting for Yao Zhiyue to mess up the marriage by herself, and it would not be too late for her to deal with her slowly.

Yao Zhiyue fell into the lake in the middle of winter, and although she was rescued within a few breaths, she was drenched and almost drowned to death.Her symptoms were very obvious, and the imperial physician left a targeted prescription, telling her to take care of her child.

……

On New Year's Eve, every household kept watch, and Luoyang City once again ushered in an all-night carnival.

Zhiyuan lived in the house, and Wu Zhengxiang accompanied Xu Wanzhen to watch the new year.

A few tables were set up in the courtyard, and maids, servants, female guards, as well as long attendants, servants, and guards from the outer courtyard were all called in.Come together and have fun with them.

For Sangzi and Caisi, this was their last New Year's Eve with Xu Wanzhen, so they felt a little sad.

Fortunately, there were so many people in the yard, so Xu Wanzhen specially ordered them not to be restrained.For the servants, it was rare to have such a relaxing moment. After drinking a few rounds of wine, everyone let go and made a fuss.

Wu Zhengxiang gently embraced Xu Wanzhen's shoulders, looking at the people in the big courtyard, they were the most trusted and loyal servants around them, both of them had smiles on their faces.

Just after midnight, fireworks were set off behind the screen wall.Blossoming golden fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, gorgeous and colorful, and the sparks that shot out lit up the entire yard.

In the Gaomang Dynasty, fireworks had only one color.But such a short-lived brilliance is particularly eye-catching.

Between the flickering of the light, the smiling faces of the crowd seemed extremely cheerful.Xu Wanzhen clasped her hands together, raised her head slightly, the fireworks bloomed brightly in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a happy arc.

Wu Zhengxiang surrounded her with his arms, and this warmth made him intoxicated.

Those hazes of the past, those things that once happened in this yard.At this moment, it was like the past, becoming distant and unreal.

The days that followed were busy and festive.

On the first day of the new year, Xu Wanzhen asked Madam Zheng to distribute happy money and new clothes to the servants in the courtyard. Red couplets, peach charms, and New Year pictures were pasted all over the courtyard, and they were beaming with joy.

At the gate of Duke Zhongguo's Mansion, two exquisitely crafted three-layer lanterns were hung, and each layer could be rotated independently.It was Mrs. Lu's order to customize the style specially in the Lantern Pavilion, which attracted many street children to stop and play here.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded from time to time, and the bustling shops on both sides of the street posted red papers and closed down.The yamen from top to bottom rested for fifteen days, and every household closed their doors to celebrate the New Year.

In the age of war and chaos, and the people's livelihood, for ordinary people, the new year is sad.Some even fled with their families in order to escape the harsh renters.

But now, the Gaomang Dynasty has been resting and recuperating for decades. Since the first emperor, it has lightened taxes and taxes, so that people's livelihood can be stabilized.This year has just been a great victory in the Northland, and the people's hearts are stable, and this year is getting more and more lively.

Chinese New Year is originally a rare time for people to reunite.

Wu Zhengxiang protected Xu Wanzhen, went back to Xu's house, and visited old man Tu again.Relatives and relatives pay New Year's greetings to each other, and make friends with other people's invitations to dinners.

This year, Zhiyuan Residence has been very lively and warm.But for the entire Duke Zhong's mansion, it was a little cold and deserted. Even if Mrs. Lu arranged the inside and outside of the mansion, it couldn't hide the coldness in his bones.

The old Duke Zhong and his wife have passed away. Due to the Chen family, Duke Zhong Wulie does not return to the backyard all year round. His back house does not even have a room for his aunt.

Moreover, anyone can take a rest, but Wu Sheng must be on duty in the palace.

In previous years, at any rate, the Chen family was still there.She is the mistress of Duke Zhong's mansion and an elder.She presides over matters such as New Year's Eve, sacrifices, and human relations. Duke Zhong will also return to the main courtyard for a period of time. The family looks lively on the surface.

However, this year, Mrs. Chen was paralyzed in bed, and the important task of presiding over Duke Zhong's mansion for the new year fell on Mrs. Lu.

After all, Lu Shi is a young daughter-in-law, so there are many inconveniences.For example, she held a reunion banquet at most after offering sacrifices to her ancestors, but she couldn't invite Duke Zhong back to the backyard.

The only thing that pleased her was that Wu Lie sent Wu Chao back to her and gave him a big vacation.With his son by his side, the smile on Lu's face is also much more.

The Duke of Zhongguo's mansion was originally thin in population, and this year they lived their own lives. Compared with other mansions, it seemed a little more depressed.
