Chapter 75 Join hands to welcome the dawn

Unexpectedly, when I was half asleep and half awake, I saw Feng Yuqi when I opened my eyes. Ling Xiao couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming.

"I snolded you at the banquet today, but after all, it's a New Year's Eve banquet. I always have to give the queen some face." Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Feng Yuqi rubbed her hair sadly and explained.

You know that I'm not uncomfortable for this, and you deliberately talk about him. If you really give the queen face, why don't you go to Zhaoyang Palace in the end? Ling Xiao secretly slandered himself and did not answer, but quietly pouted.

Feng Yuqi shook his head helplessly and didn't want to explain, but looking at the little man in his arms, he really couldn't bear to make her feel aggrieved. After thinking about it, he still said, "The New Year's Eve banquet is extraordinary, and the mother is also present. If I am too intimate with you, it's not a good thing for you. Of course, I also know that what you really care about is also true.

Ling Xiao didn't realize what he was talking about, so he had to continue to listen.

"Tonight is the last night of the year. It is said that whoever is with you can stay with that person for a long time and join hands to welcome the first ray of the New Year." Feng Yuqi looked at the looming light outside the window from afar. Those were the fireworks and palace lamps that the palace people were still putting on. These were all night until the sun rose tomorrow.

Does it last for a long time? After listening to this, Ling Xiao was a little in a trance, and then the first reaction was, so you left the queen to go to the Yingyue Palace, just to stay with Xie Guifei for a long time? Oh, no, isn't he by his side now?

Ling Xiao suddenly became confused, and his mind felt like a ball of paste. At this time, there was a long bell ringing outside the window, and then there was a dense and continuous crackling sound of fireworks. The chaos in her mind seemed to be suddenly split by a flash of lightning, and it suddenly became clear.

Feng Yuqi originally planned to accompany her tonight. At the banquet, she only talked to the queen. It was for the sake of etiquette and to protect her. Later, she went to the imperial concubine's palace for her own good! If you come directly to Qiluan Hall, you will definitely not be able to go, but if you go to Zhaoyang Palace, you will definitely not be able to leave. Otherwise, where will you put the face of the mother of the country? And that will inevitably cause the queen's resentment against Ling Xiao. Would that hurt her?

But if you go to the palace of the imperial concubine first, it will be different. It is natural to visit the imperial concubine who lost her son on New Year's Eve, but the sad noble concubine has no intention to serve. Isn't it logical for the emperor to visit and leave? As for why he came to Ling Wanyi later, although everyone knows it, after such twists and turns, it will definitely reduce people's jealousy and hatred of Ling Xiao much.

At least, for the queen, it is better to be with Ling Wanyi than to let the emperor be with Xie Guifei. As for Xie Guifei, she was just beaten by the Empress Dowager in the Yanping Hall today, and she must not dare to complain any more.

"Ling Xiao, did you hear the bell? Get up quickly, it's time." Feng Yuqi picked up Ling Xiao's waist and asked her to sit up. "Look, it's as bright as daylight outside, and fireworks are burning everywhere in the palace at the same time."

Ling Xiao's heart knot has been solved, and he is even more moved. Is his position in his heart so heavy? Even if he can't treat me single-handedly, he is doing his best to treat me well and thinking about me everywhere, but I still misunderstand him. He blinked his eyes, obediently asked him to help him up, and also looked out of the window - the bright fireworks, like the almost touchable beautiful love between himself and Feng Yuqi.

Originally, the New Year's Eve banquet was supposed to be held until this point, which meant that the queen and the world would keep the New Year together, but now considering the health of the empress dowager, it broke up early. In addition, there is also a layer of sympathetic subjects in it, and there are many clan ministers who come to the palace to attend the banquet. Most of them still hope to live with their families, so they don't force them.

This also completes Ling Xiao and Feng Yu. The two snuggled together, looked at the fireworks outside, looked at each other from time to time, and felt the strong affection in each other's eyes.

When the outside gradually calmed down, the sleepiness gradually came. The two lay quietly **, closed their eyes and said nothing, but their hands tightly under the quilt.

Really, silence is better than sound at this time.

The second day is the first day of the Chinese New Year, the first day of the New Year, not to mention going to Guhua Palace and Zhaoyang Palace to pay New Year's greetings. Even without these complicated ceremonies, no one will sleep in on this day. Who doesn't want to have a good new beginning in the new year?

Ling Xiao was awakened by Feng Yuqi. She was still reluctant and shouted that she was too sleepy to open her eyes. Feng Yuqi was helpless for a while. He called Qingwu and Erlan to come in to serve the two people to make up, and it was not easy to really wake her up.

As the grand maid of Qiluantang, Er Lan has always been cautious. If she encounters this situation at ordinary times, she must be admonished, but today, she smiles at the corners of her mouth like Qingwu. Looking at the master acting coquettishly, the bigger master doesn't care at all. Instead, she spoils and loves her. She is also really happy.

"I'll leave in a minute. You can go to the Empress Dowager's Palace later." Feng Yuqi packed up and took people back to his palace first.

After Feng Yuqi left, Ling Xiao continued to clean up before going out. She planned to go to the Xiguan first and go with Lin Xuanyu. Although last night's banquet was postponed, it is still necessary not to give New Year's greetings to the empress dowager. Although the empress dowager doesn't care about everything, what she said at the critical time is more important than Feng Yuqi. Just look at the matter of Xie Guifei yesterday.

Put on a cloak and came all the way to the Xixi Hall. Ling Xiao deliberately did not let people pass it on and deliberately wanted to make fun of Xuan Yu. The palace people saw that it was Ling Xiao, and they knew that the two little masters had always been close, so they smiled secretly and didn't say anything.

"The noble little master is auspicious. Xiao Lingzi, please give your peace to the little master." Opening the curtain, a cold wind suddenly brought in. Before Lin Xuanyu could ask questions, Lin Xuanyu met a beautiful woman in the first half. Her pink face was full of spring, her black hair was long, but her eyes were extremely flexible, and she was looking at her with a narrow smile.

"You...bad girl! He came to scare me early in the morning of the New Year. He was really spoiled by the emperor. Lin Xuanyu was shocked and thought it was who it was. He saw that it was Ling Xiao. At that time, he wanted to scold her "dead girl" and felt that it seemed unlucky, so he immediately changed his mouth and said that he was going to beat her.

Ling Xiao hurriedly begged for mercy, "Okay, sister, Xiaoer dares not."

"There is no formal shape all day." Lin Xuanyu glanced at her and put on the last silver silk red jade bead hairpin to pull up a strand of hair behind her ear. It's still early, but since it's New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager, it's better to do it early.

"That's exactly the reason." Ling Xiao looked up and down at Lin Xuanyu's dress, pinched his chin, nodded with satisfaction like an old man, and said, "The girl's dress is really good. It's better than a nine-day fairy going down to earth."

Lin Xuanyu was helpless. He just shook his head and said nothing more. In fact, her dress today is a very ordinary palace costume. If she stands in a pile of palace concubines, she can be said to be out of the public. Of course, unlike the simple of Xie Guifei last night, her body is an "ordinary celebration", and she will never tolerate people's attention, let alone the dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager. As for what happened at the banquet last night, Ling Xiao sent someone to explain it.

"Sister, don't talk too much later, especially when the emperor is here. You can keep a low profile, you know?" Before going out for the last time, Ling Xiao told him again.

"I know, I'm not such a grumpy person. What's more, even if I don't do it deliberately, few people usually notice me." Lin Xuanyu pulled his cloak, pulled up Lingxiao and walked to the Guhua Palace.

This is the second time they have come to the Empress Dowager's Palace. They are still simple and simpler than luxurious, but there is a slightly more festive atmosphere than before, and the Empress Dowager's face is also a little warmer, not as cold and strict as before.

However, even so, the concubines were still very restrained. Basically, after saying the auspicious words of New Year's greetings, they sat in their seats and didn't say much, but just sat with a decent smile. The queen was much more comfortable. Although there were not many words, she looked calm and raised her hands and feet. Casual words made the empress dowager smile a little. The rest of the people who followed the emperor earlier were not as close to the empress dowager as the queen, but some people said a few words from time to time, but it was not cold.

I'm afraid the most eye-catching thing is Princess Xie. Yesterday, she was reprimanded in Yanping Hall. Today, she really changed back to her original style. She was dressed in a rose, red gold silk embroidered peony winter dress, and her face was as bright as before. It's just that the Empress Dowager still didn't like her very much, and she didn't look at her a few times. She just answered faintly when she knelt down to say hi, and then there was nothing else.

On the contrary, she was very concerned about the Lan Xuanshi. After all, Muhan Diji is the only child in the palace now. The Empress Dowager is still very fond of it. She even gave her the Nanmu Xiangzhu bracelet she has been carrying all year round. Lan Xuanshi looked stunned, and then kowtowed Xie En with flattery and personally helped Di Ji put on the bracelet. Although the bracelet was too big for a child under one year old, it was not important. What was the Empress Dowager's heart and expression.

Not only Muhan Diji, but also the reward of Lan Xuanshi himself is particularly rich, almost in the same line with several concubines. Lan Xuanshi came from a humble background. Although he gave birth to the emperor's only child, his biological mother was like this. How big will the child have in the future? But if this child is protected by the empress dowager, the future will not be the same! Although Lan Xuanshi does not pursue fame and fortune, otherwise she will not still choose the position of waiter today, it does not mean that she does not think about her children.

This naturally attracted the envy of many concubines, but in Ling Xiao's opinion, the Empress Dowager may not really love this child. If she really loves it, why does it have to be expressed until today? She heard that even Muhan Diji's one-month banquet only gave some things at will, let alone attend it in person. I'm afraid that today, for this only granddaughter, the Empress Dowager may not see what she looks like.
