"Today is the day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. The new year is coming, so let's light fireworks and firecrackers to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new."

"It is almost midnight, everyone please follow me outside the palace."

As Li Kuo stood up, everyone else stood up and followed Li Kuo out of the hall.

To be honest, the walls of the imperial palace are very high, and you can't see outside the imperial city from the Hanyuan Hall. At most, you can only see the sky outside the imperial city.

After waiting for about three minutes, the fireworks flew into the sky with a "bang" and exploded into green and bright fireworks in mid-air.

As the first firework rose, the second and the third rose up one by one rapidly.

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers exploded at this midnight.

At the same time, Nalan Mingyue, who was in the yard at the end of Zhuque Street, stared blankly at the fireworks in the sky.

The fireworks were so beautiful, which she had never seen in Silla. What was New Year’s Eve like in Silla in previous years?

It seemed to be a bonfire sacrifice, which she could only see before she got married. After marrying Zhe Luo, she waited in the palace every year for someone to visit her.

The royal family of Silla partied all night long in the palace.

It seems that this year is no different.

Nalan Mingyue smiled, but she didn't feel homesick at all.

He probably won't come tonight...

Nalan Mingyue didn't know why she thought of Li Xiuzhu, but it was just a simple thought.

However, Nalan Mingyue does not miss home, but Princess Haibie does.

Unlike Nalan Mingyue, this princess still likes Silla very much.

It’s a pity…I won’t be able to see my father and mother this year.

Starting this year, no brother will give her New Year gifts anymore.

Hai Bie also thought about the people of Silla. He didn't know how they were doing. Did they have enough food? It should be enough. He had exchanged so much food. The royal family would definitely provide the food that needed to be saved first.

However, Haibie had no idea at that time that, except for the princes and nobles, the people of Silla could not afford to have a good New Year. Not to mention subsidies, some of their money was even plundered.

This money was her dowry.

Of course, the reason why the people of Silla did not riot was because they still had some surplus food at home, and the adults who came to collect the money said that the money was used to buy food and would be distributed to everyone when the food was delivered.

Yes, not a single cent of the dowry that the princess used to exchange for food was paid by the princes themselves. I'm afraid the only one willing to pay was her father.

Hai Bie suddenly smiled as he looked at the fireworks. Her wedding would be in three days. The gifts and dowry were already in place, just waiting to be exchanged at the wedding.

People of Silla, this is all I can do for you.

In addition to the two Silla people, there was another person who was not so happy, and that was Su Xiaoxiao who was in Hongxiuyuan.

She had asked people to send out invitations and invited Li Xiuzhu many times, but Li Xiuzhu never came. How could she complete the task assigned by the Third Prince?

Su Xiaoxiao was anxious, but didn't know what to do.

Just then, the maid's voice came.

"Sister, Master Fang wants to see you."

Su Xiaoxiao frowned when she heard that.

"not see……"

How could she be in the mood to see anyone right now? Although there were many people who wanted to see her today, which was a huge income, she was really in no mood these days.

"Yes, sister, I will go tell Mr. Fang right away that your condition is not very good."

But before the maid left, Su Xiaoxiao's brows suddenly tightened.

"Wait, which Mr. Fang are you talking about? Is it the Fang Shiming who used to be good friends with Li Xiuzhu?"

It's no wonder that Su Xiaoxiao guessed that it was Fang Shiming. First, Fang Shiming had pursued her before he left a year ago. Second, there were not many young men with the surname Fang in the capital.

Apart from Fang Shiming, there are probably only three or four others.

"Phew, wait for me a cup of tea, then bring him in. Remember not to let anything slip, I just got better."

"Yes, sister, Xiaoxing knows what to do."

"Um!"

When the maid Xiaoxing went to call Fang Shiming, Su Xiaoxiao also came to the dressing table and put powder on her face.

Since you are sick, you must feel sick and haggard.

Unlike these people, Li Xiuzhu's home was much more lively. Not only were all the women in the family there, but even his sisters-in-law and Chen were brought home.

Anyway, Fu Wenhan and Li Xiuzhu are attending a banquet in the palace as well, so they will definitely not come back all night.

"Sister, isn't my brother-in-law going to spend the New Year with us?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"It's fine that Daddy doesn't spend the New Year with us, but why doesn't my brother-in-law accompany us either?"

Hearing Baozhu's words and looking at her pouting lips, Fu Yuehua smiled and explained to her two younger sisters: "Your brother-in-law and father are both high-ranking officials of the court, so naturally they have to keep watch with all the officials."

"Wait until tomorrow, and you can ask if your brother-in-law is willing to keep watch with you."

Fu Baozhu immediately said unhappily: "It doesn't feel good to be an official at all. I don't know why my father and brother-in-law want to be officials. It's not good at all."

Fu Yanyu also interrupted at this time: "Yanyu also misses her brother-in-law."

Although Fu Yunshuang didn't say anything, she was thinking about it.

But as she was already sensible, she naturally couldn't be as willful as her sister.

Fu Yuehua looked at her two sisters and said unhappily, "I don't know what kind of magic potion your brother-in-law has fed you. I've never seen you and your sister be so close."

While saying this, Fu Yuehua glanced at Fu Yunshuang intentionally or unintentionally.

When Yunshuang saw the look in her sister's eyes, she suddenly felt panicked. She always felt that her sister was pointing at her and she didn't dare to look at her sister's eyes.

At this time, Nong Yue came over, hugged Fu Yunshuang's thin shoulders from behind, and said to Fu Yuehua: "Don't bully our Yunshuang..."

"Come on, Yunshuang, accompany us to play a new card game, but it was your brother-in-law who taught us."

Fu Yunshuang's eyes suddenly lit up, but before she could ask, Fu Baozhu and Fu Yanyu rushed to answer.

"Sister, sister, Baozhu wants to play too."

"Smoke and rain, and more smoke and rain."

Hearing this, Nong Yue shook her head and said with a smile: "That won't work. You have to be two years older if you want to play."

"Of course, you can watch first, or you can play other things with other sisters."

Fu Baozhu pouted again. She always felt that today was not a good day.

Not only can my brother-in-law not play with me, my sisters also won't play with me.

Even so, she still agreed unhappily.

"Okay, okay, Sister Yanyu and I will take care of it, okay?"

Fu Yanyu was not too happy either. It would have been fine if she didn't let Baozhu play, but she was Baozhu's sister, not a child younger than Baozhu.

Fortunately, Fu Baozhu didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have to say: Even though I am young, I will always take care of you.

At this time, Yun Shuang looked at Nong Yue and asked, "Sister Nong Yue, what game is this?"
