Chapter 78 The New Snow and Early Sun in Front of You

In the next few days, the concubines in the harem walked around each other to send off the New Year, but they were also busy. Whether you are close or not, you still have to do it on the surface. However, Lin Xuanyu still said that he was easy to recuperate in the palace and did not go out much. In the whole harem, it was probably deserted in the Xiguan.

And Ling Xiao was not worried about this at all. It was all negotiated by them. Since I met Yao concubine in the imperial garden that day, and there was a big or small disturbance, looking at Lin Xuanyu's performance, Ling Xiao knew that Lin Xuanyu was really determined to watch the Shanglinyuan Xinxue meeting a few days later!

This so-called new snow party, as the name implies, is named to celebrate the snow in the New Year. Usually, at this time of year, it snows all over the country, and the whole court is wrapped in silver. It is not only beautiful, but also conducive to the harvest of crops. It is really lucky to catch up with the Spring Festival.

Therefore, from the beginning of this dynasty, the Holy Ancestor Emperor set such a meeting, which was just a celebration ceremony at first. The atmosphere of this dynasty is still enlightened, especially the shackles of women, which is not particularly harsh. On this day, many princes and nobles, including some ladies of the family, will gather in Shanglin Garden, and the concubines with heads and faces will also participate. Slowly, the original celebration will have more entertainment elements, chanting poems and paintings. , Qu Yi Song Fu.

Until now, the prayer ceremony at the New Snow Festival is actually very simple, even walking through the scene, almost becoming a special royal singing conference. In recent years, because the trend of attaching importance to literature over martial arts has become more and more serious, there are fewer and fewer generals in the court. There are times of unevenness in the border areas, and the foreign-Serbian tribes have begun to be ready to move. In order to encourage the martial arts style, the emperor simply added martial arts competition in the new snow meeting.

On this day, the emperor and queen are licensed, do not pay attention to etiquette and rules, the upper and lower parts are integrated, and it is better to have fun than to have fun alone. After all, after a year has passed, everyone needs to relax. Even if the emperor himself has the rules every day, it is extremely tiring. So as long as there is nothing particularly big, on this day, the queen will not punish others casually.

Although no one dares to really "be unruly", because of the emperor's words, in general, people who participate in the New Snow Club will not be as fearful as usual. People are relaxed, and the atmosphere of the whole conference is naturally very good. Many people will also take the initiative to perform songs and other talents.

In this way, the new snow meeting will not only help the emperor show his pro-people image, get closer to the relationship with the princes and ministers, and even discover the talents they need according to the performance of the people at the meeting. Even to some extent, it may become an opportunity for the big family to choose the right and talented women to be women for their children, which is equivalent to becoming a blind date meeting between Mr. Wang Sun and the ladies.

In this way, the new snow meeting is getting more and more grand. Many people are scrambling to get the opportunity to participate. People in Beijing, including the palace, are proud to participate in this meeting. I even want to change my fate through this conference. Because it's not just about marriage, once the talent is personally discovered by the emperor, it is likely to ascend to the sky step by step. Whether it is literature or martial arts, it is the same.

Although it doesn't snow on this day every year, the tradition has been followed. Even if it doesn't snow, it will not be cancelled. If it snows, it will be regarded as auspicious.

"Sister, tomorrow is the annual Shanglinyuan New Snow Conference. Are you ready?" Ling Xiao touched the soft snow-white fox fur cloak in his hand, with a slight smile on the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen tomorrow's scene.

Lin Xuanyu looked out of the window at the big branches with their teeth and claws in the wind. They were shaky. There were dusty particles rolled into the air. The wind seemed to be mixed with a little ice beads. He closed the cotton-padded robe on his body, and his smile was a little desolate: "Look, the snow is about to fall."

"Well, there must be heavy snow tonight." Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a cold wind came in, revealing a thin-browed, white-skinned beauty in white clothes. The strange beauty smiled. In the not very bright inner room, it was very bright, just like opening the dark clouds and seeing the bright moon.

"Qianmo, you're here." Ling Xiao saw that it was her. He quickly took the blue cloud cushion on one side and asked her to sit down. "Why did you laugh so happily today? Let's talk about it for us."

Although Lu Qianmo's nature is still deserted and he usually doesn't walk around with them very often, unconsciously, Ling Xiao and Lin Xuanyu regard her as someone who can really be close to her. It is not the so-called "friend" relationship that can benefit each other, just like Qin Xiaoyuan. No matter how she interacts with each other, as long as it is mixed with the desire for power, it is not simple.

It's about her nature, but it makes people feel straightforward and unpretentious. If she is willing, Ling Xiao and the two do not reject and even welcome her.

"Yes, I rarely see your smile." Lin Xuanyu looked at it, and the depression in his heart had been smoothed a lot. At this moment, he also asked with a smile.

Lu Qianmo sat down on the couch, took out the pocket enamel stove hidden in his sleeve, glanced at the fox skin cloak on the couch, took a sip of the hot tea handed over by Zhu Xiang, and then said, "I saw something happy on the way here."

This aroused the curiosity of others, and Ling Xiao chased and asked, "What's the happy thing? In this cold weather, is it possible that there are still people singing outside?

"Ling Xiaozhu, don't say anything about it. There are really people singing a good show outside." Jingru saw that the master was in a good mood and boldly interrupted.

"Jingru is right, and it's not a play that ordinary people can see. That's wonderful!" Lu Qianmo smiled and said with sarcasm.

Lin Xuanyu gently pulled her sleeve, pretended to peek at Ling Xiao, and whispered, "Qian Mo, look at this little girl. The curiosity is about to pop out of her throat. If you don't say it, she will carefully turn back and let you sing."

Lu Qianmo no longer appetized them and said, "Sister, your palace is deserted enough, but because you want to recuperate, and the queen is also sympathetic to you, she asked others to disturb you less. But some people are not sick, and the palace is also very lonely.

As soon as she said this, Ling Xiao actually understood most of it and asked, "Are you talking about Ying Chang?"

Lu Qianmo nodded and then said, "My sister is right. Isn't that Xu Erniang? In the past few days, the concubines in the palace have been walking around each other to pay New Year's greetings and holding banquets. They are very busy and happy. Some of them can't wait for more people to come out, so as not to know which lady's banquet is better to attend. But Xu Er Niang, but no one invited her!"

"Qianmo is still as straightforward as ever." Although Lin Xuanyu and Na Ying often did not have a direct conflict, she did not have a good impression on her at all. He listened to the joke.

"She is not straightforward, but mean." Ling Xiao spat, covered his mouth and smiled, and said rudely. But then he asked Lu Qianmo, "How do you know if something happened on the way here? Did Ying Changzai make a fool of herself outside again, or did her maid Molly trip her up?

Lu Qianmo picked up the teacup and took a sip. Thinking of what happened just now, she felt ridiculous and said, "It has nothing to do with her maid. It's just that she can't hold the wall with her own mud. After all, she came out of the raccoon clothes. Just outside, she openly fought with Luoshang and scolded each other.

She is a girl from a poor family and never talks about people's origins. In this way, she really looks down on Ying Chang from the bottom of her heart. At the beginning, in order to grab the cat given to the noble concubine, Yao and Luo Zhang almost did it, but they didn't do it after all, and at least it was in the palace. But this time, Ying often did not care about etiquette at all and attacked people outside openly. Although there were not many passers-by due to the weather, it was not a big deal to be seen, and its vulgarity was obvious.

Associated with Ying Chang's usual style, Ling Xiao was only slightly surprised and asked with a smile, "Xu Ying vented her anger on Luoshang's head. Luoshang's grade is lower than her, and she is not the kind of person. Maybe he will offend her at any time. Today, she happened to meet on a narrow road, so she fought without saying a word. I didn't say anything. It's wrong."

"Sister Ling seems to have seen it with her own eyes, just like that." Lu Qianmo nodded.

"No wonder you are so happy. I guess it must be this kind of thing, you!" Ling Xiao shook his head, stretched out his forefinger and poked her, but smiled and said, "If you see this kind of thing again in the future, you must tell it to me. It's really a new year. I'm in a good mood every day."

Lin Xuanyu smiled helplessly and said, "Two improper ones."

"Little master, the candied plum blossoms we marinated last month should be ready. Why don't I go and get some for a few masters to taste?" At this time, Zhu Xiang asked for instructions on the side.

"Yes, I almost forgot about this matter. It's been half a month. I think it's the most fragrant and tender time. Let's get some." Hearing Zhu Xiang mention this, Lin Xuanyu suddenly showed his interest. "Go quickly. Look at our beautiful and noble Ling Wanyi. As soon as he heard the sugar-stained plum blossoms, his saliva was about to flow out."

Zhu Xiang laughed out, and then retreated to get food.

Ling Xiao blushed and argued weakly, "My sister wronged others again. There is no way to drool."

"Oh? Are you really not greedy? The plum blossom is made by soaking and marinating it in the most tender stamens that bloom at the beginning of the beginning. In addition, in order to prevent it from being too sweet and greasy, the plum preserved in summer is also placed in the jar used for pickling. The taste must be sour and sweet!" Lin Xuanyu deliberately described it vividly and seduced her.

"Oh, sister, don't say it, really!" Ling Xiao leaned over and wanted to tickle Lin Xuanyu.

The two people who were making noise did not find that a trace of envy in Lu Qianmo's eyes flashed from his cheeks.

When Zhu Xiang brought up the food, the red plum blossoms and green green plums in the small plate were interesting, and the frozen rock sugar was crystal clear like ice and snow, which really made people's index fingers move.

Tomorrow is the new snow meeting. The preparation for many days depends on tomorrow. Ling Xiao thought to himself, took an unsperished plum blossom and put it in his mouth with a smile. His smile was brighter than the new snow and early sun.
