Chapter 171 New Year's Eve



Po glanced at Xiao Hei.

[Xiao Hei has been in the palace for two months. How come he is getting fatter and fatter while I am getting thinner and thinner? Xiao Hei eats more meat than me. It's not fair.]

Defei, who was frying something, glanced over silently.

Zhilan sighed and poured some milk and rice porridge into the little black dog's bowl. "Little princess, do you think that Xiao Hei's hair is a little long and frizzy? It's time to trim it. Look, he's so hungry that only the long hair is left. He's been fed a lot on weekdays."

Xiao Hei: You guys always feed me porridge, how can I get fat?

But it was still deeply moved in its heart. Zhilan had such a good eye.

A Bao blinked and said, "Sister Zhilan, the nest is thin and it is fat."

Zhilan: "Little princess, your body is full of flesh, and Xiaohei's is also full of flesh, but it's all hair."

Xiao Hei nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, yes.

On weekdays, the little princess eats meat while little Hei chews bones.

The little princess drank porridge, and Xiao Hei also drank porridge.

There was no situation where Xiao Hei was specifically allowed to eat meat. The only thing was that the little princess would get greedy if she saw others eating meat, even if it was a dog.

Poor Xiao Hei, he originally wanted to go into the palace to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks with the little princess, but now it seems that he has not eaten anything delicious or spicy.

[Is that so? Ahem]

Po looked at the cleanly chewed chicken bone in his hand and put it in the black dog's bowl, "Eat it, eat more, and grow fat."

Xiao Hei complained, "Oh heaven and earth, can you please let me grow some meat?"

A pot of fragrant sausage was brought over. It was specially made by Concubine De. "In the past two months, Xiao Hei has suffered a lot in Yihe Palace. Starting today, we will give him extra food and have a prosperous New Year."

Xiao Hei was instantly moved and started sucking, but Abao stopped doing it.

[Mother made meat cakes and chicken drumsticks, but there is nothing for me]

Defei winked at Zhilan, and Zhilan quickly carried Abao into the palace.

Po refused to leave, instead he grabbed the door frame and cried, "Cool honey, cool honey..."

Xiao Hei was gnawing on the sausage proudly, grinning at A Bao with bared teeth. He was so proud that A Bao was so anxious that he wanted to jump up on the spot.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, every palace would stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

After attending the palace banquet in the afternoon, Concubine De took Abao back to Yihe Palace.

There were fireworks in the sky, making a loud noise, and it was really lively.

The great tyrant stayed with Abao the whole day today. As soon as he finished dealing with government affairs, he came to Yihe Palace again.

Emperor Zi'an also came back.

The Tyrant held Abao outside to watch the fireworks and said, "The Sixth Prince is working outside the palace this year and will not be able to come back for the New Year. I know that you, as a mother, miss him, so I have sent someone to deliver a letter to the Sixth Prince. If all goes well, he will come back after the New Year."

Defei felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, why should we be polite to each other?"

[I haven’t seen Sixth Brother for half a year. I wonder if Sixth Brother misses me]

A few months after Abao took action, Di Chenyu was sent to work outside the palace and was away for half a year.

"Here." The Tyrant ordered Eunuch Xi to bring a wooden box. Po was delighted. "What?"

"This is a New Year gift from your sixth brother. I hope you will be safe and sound every year."

A Bao was chewing a little finger-shaped twist in her hand, her eyes already fixed on the gift that Di Chenyu had given her.

When the box was opened, it sparkled with golden light and shone brightly under the moonlight.

[It's Jin Fengling, Sixth Brother is really... How can he understand my thoughts so well?]

The wind chime is made of pure gold, even the bell is made of gold. Po really likes it. He hangs it in front of the door, and when the wind blows, the chimes make tinkling sounds, which are crisp and pleasant to the ear. Po loves it to death.

[It’s so nice to celebrate Chinese New Year. I can eat fried dough twists and receive gifts from my brothers. I heard that I can get red envelopes during the New Year. Oh, I really wish it was Chinese New Year every day.]

Concubine De, the Tyrant, and Emperor Zi'an: ...

They seriously suspected that Abao just wanted to eat, drink and collect money.

"What a good deal." Po jumped up and down looking at the fireworks in the sky.

On New Year's Eve, Abao was so happy that he played until very late.

At this time in the harem, some were happy and some were worried.

In the Fallen Flower Garden, Concubine Hui sat in the courtyard, looking at the fireworks in the sky, "Which palace did the emperor go to today?"

The little maid bowed her head and replied, "Yihe Palace."

Concubine Hui sighed, "This Concubine De is so lucky. She was originally sent to the cold palace, but because she gave birth to a daughter, she was promoted from abandoned concubine to favored concubine. When will such a good thing come to us poor people?"

The royal bloodline has always favored boys over girls.

What's the use of being a princess? She has to get married when she grows up.

Princes are different. They are granted fiefs and become kings, or even crown princes. They become queen mothers and are the mothers of the country.

The concubines were all trying their best to give birth to sons, but who knew that Emperor Tiansheng would like daughters so much.

“Your Majesty…”

"Forget it. We should be happy on New Year's Eve today. Nothing is more important than the New Year tomorrow. Who knows what the situation will be like after the New Year." Concubine Hui curled her lips meaningfully.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, Abao was woken up by Concubine De, and he washed, changed his clothes, and went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother has the largest share; this is the rule on the first day of the New Year and has always been so.

Abao is very sleepy. He watched the fireworks too late last night and went to bed too late. The little guy has been groggy all morning.

On the way to Cining Palace, Abao hung on Concubine De like a pendant, lying on her shoulder and snoring.

As a younger daughter-in-law, Princess Han also had to go to the palace early in the morning. She brought Di Hongluan with her but no maid.

"Mom, don't worry. The Queen Mother will definitely look upon us with new eyes today."

She is confident.

The Queen Mother is Princess Han's mother-in-law. If she can make her mother-in-law happy, it will definitely be of great benefit to Princess Han.

Princess Han held Di Hongluan's hand and said, "Yes, I believe Luan'er."

A group of people knelt in a row outside the Cining Palace, waiting for the Empress Dowager to open the door, wake up, and pay their respects.

Abao was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. She had to sit on the ground at such a young age. Fortunately, Concubine De secretly brought her a small cushion so that her butt would not be too cold.

"Has the Tenth Princess arrived?" The old grandmother opened the palace door and glanced at the concubines.

Defei was startled, "Here it comes."

She was puzzled. In the past, the Empress Dowager would always go out first, and when the Emperor's grandsons came to pay New Year's greetings, the Empress Dowager would never ask.

Grandma came over quickly and softened her tone to Concubine De, "Concubine De, Happy New Year. Please give the little princess to me. The Empress Dowager wants to see the little princess."

Defei was surprised. At this time, Abao was more awake. He rubbed his eyes and heard his grandmother's words, "Well, Royal Grandma..."

Grandma chuckled, "Yes, little princess, do you want to go find the Queen Mother?"

Abao nodded his head, which made grandma very happy. She took Abao from Concubine De and rushed into the Cining Palace.

The concubines were dumbfounded.

This……

Just leave?

Concubine Rou whispered, "The Queen Mother, please let the little princess go in alone. Will you let us in?"
