As the New Year approaches, the streets and alleys of Beijing have long been shrouded in a festive atmosphere.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and every family is busy preparing for the New Year.
Inside the palace, there was also a busy scene, filled with laughter and joy everywhere.
Bai Linglong stood in the courtyard of the palace and looked up. The maids and servants were busy putting up Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns.
The bright red paper fluttered slightly in the wind, reflecting the joyful faces of the people.
She turned and walked into the house. With a thought in her mind, a soft light emanated from her body, and she instantly entered a mysterious space.
The space is filled with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables, and a wide variety of modern delicacies.
Bai Linglong first selected several large baskets of fresh fruit. The red apples had an attractive sheen on their skin and were juicy when they were bitten.
The yellow pears are plump and round, with a fragrant fruit aroma;
The purple grapes are huge, and with a gentle bite, the sweet juice spreads in your mouth.
There are also mangoes with a unique aroma and golden yellow flesh that is soft, sweet and unforgettable.
He filled several more bags with tender green vegetables, all of which were nourished by the spiritual energy of the space and were juicy and fresh.
Then, she turned her attention to modern delicacies, and selected potato chips, chocolate, jelly, cookies, nut gift packs, etc., ready to share them with everyone to try.
In addition, there are boxes of drinks, including orange juice, cola, coconut milk, yogurt, etc.
Among the many drinks, she specially took out a few boxes of Moutai, which is a rare and fine wine in the room.
"Someone come!"
Bai Linglong called softly, and soon the guard Yingfeng walked quickly into the room.
Bai Linglong arranged in an orderly manner: "Take these two boxes of Moutai, five large baskets of fruit, and these boxes filled with various snacks and drinks.
I will send them to the Emperor and the Empress together, saying that they are a small gift from this princess, wishing Father and Mother good health and everything goes well in the new year.
There are emperors among fruits, and the queen has never tasted mango, which has a unique taste, sweet and soft;
The snacks are all novel and delicious, and the drinks are also refreshing and tasty. I hope Your Majesty likes them. ”
The guard Yingfeng carefully loaded the gifts into the car and hurried to the palace.
At the same time, in the palace, the emperor was handling the last few government affairs before the New Year in the imperial study, accompanied by the queen.
"Your Majesty, it's almost New Year's Eve. This year has really passed by so quickly."
The Queen said as she added more tea for the Emperor.
The emperor put down his pen, rubbed his temples, and said with a smile: "Yes, fortunately, the country is peaceful and the people are safe this year, which is also a blessing."
At this time, the eunuch Cai Gonggong hurried in and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Queen, the Princess of Zhennan Palace sent someone to deliver New Year's gifts."
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, a little curious: "Oh?
What did the princess give? ”
The eunuch quickly replied: "There are two boxes of Maotai, five large baskets of fruit, and many boxes full of snacks and drinks.
It is said that they wish the emperor and the queen good health and all the best in the new year.
They also say that the fruits include mangoes you have never tasted before, with a unique taste, the snacks are also novel and delicious, and the drinks are refreshing and delicious. ”
The Queen's eyes were full of curiosity: "This Princess Bai always comes up with some new and interesting things. Your Majesty, why don't we open it and take a look?"
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Okay, open it and take a look."
When the fruits, snacks and drinks appeared before their eyes, the emperor and the empress were surprised.
The emperor picked up a mango and examined it carefully: "This looks very strange, I have never seen it before."
The queen picked up a bag of potato chips and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Eunuch Cai added: "I heard from the guard who delivered the gift that these potato chips taste delicious and crispy."
The emperor smiled and said, "This Princess Bai is very thoughtful. I will ask someone to return the gifts later and tell them that I really like these gifts and wish her and everyone in the palace a happy new year."
On the other side, in the palace, the housekeeper took a heavy package filled with big red envelopes and began to distribute them to the maids, mothers-in-law, servants, and guards in the palace.
The maid Xiaoying took the red envelope with both hands, her eyes widened with surprise: "This... is this for you?
So thick! ”
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Yes, the princess ordered that everyone should share in the New Year's joy."
The servant Xiaohu excitedly opened the red envelope and saw the silver inside. His mouth was grinning: "The princess is so kind. I am so happy to celebrate the New Year!"
Nanny Li's eyes were slightly red, and she said with emotion: "After so many years in the palace, this year is the most heartwarming. Thank you, Princess."
Afterwards, Bai Linglong went to find Wang Meng and said seriously, "Wang Meng, go inform Heifeng and give each brother of Mingyue Pavilion a big red envelope, saying it is a New Year reward, so that everyone can have a good New Year."
Wang Meng responded, turned around and went to convey the order.
In Mingyue Pavilion, Heifeng received a notice from Wang Meng and started to give red envelopes to his brothers.
"Brothers, this is the New Year's red envelope that the Lord has given to everyone, come and claim it!"
Heifeng shouted loudly.
A young man ran over excitedly and took the red envelope: "Wow, the Lord is so kind!
I have money to spend during the Chinese New Year! ”
Another brother said with a smile: "Following the Lord, not only will we have a good life, but we will also get this generous red envelope. We must work harder in the future!"
Everyone nodded, with happy smiles on their faces.
Afterwards, Bai Linglong entered the space again and started to get busy.
She filled two large carriages with food, rice, flour, oil, as well as a large amount of fruits and vegetables, meat, modern delicacies, wine and beverages.
"Wang Meng, Zhao Gang, take these to Mingyue Pavilion. Be careful not to spill or leak anything."
Wang Meng and Zhao Gang accepted the order in unison and drove the carriage slowly out of the palace.
The palace courtyard was bustling with activity.
Four babies were surrounding four brand new two-wheeled bicycles, dancing with excitement.
Nan Jinyi was the first to get on the bicycle, and following Bai Linglong's instructions, he stepped on the pedals, and the bicycle moved forward in a crooked manner.
"Wow, this is so fun!"
he shouted excitedly.
Nan Jinyu, Nan Jinyao, and Nan Jinxuan were not to be outdone and rode their bicycles, chasing each other in the courtyard, their laughter echoing throughout the palace.
The guards gathered around, looking at this newfangled gadget with curiosity on their faces.
"This is called a bicycle. I exchanged it from the space mall. It's fast and convenient to ride."
Bai Linglong explained with a smile.
"Master, this thing is really rare. It's fun to look at."
Sun Yang couldn't help but say.
Bai Linglong smiled and said, "You guys want to ride on two-wheelers. The kids can ride on three-wheelers, and you can ride on two-wheelers."
When Xiao Cui and the other maids heard this, they nodded in surprise: "Master, we want it!"
Bai Linglong immediately took out twenty bicycles from the space mall.
With a thought, the bicycles appeared neatly in front of everyone.
The bicycles are colorful, red like trees, blue like the sky, and green like grass. Everyone excitedly chooses their favorite color.
"Come, I'll teach you how to ride." Bai Linglong said patiently.
She first demonstrated the movements of getting on the car, and then explained how to control the direction and brake.
Everyone learned very hard, and soon several guards had mastered the skills and started riding in the courtyard.
Xiao Cui rode a little crookedly, but the smile on her face was extremely bright: "Master, can you ride it and take a walk on the street?"
Everyone came forward, their eyes full of anticipation.
Bai Linglong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, but everyone must pay attention to safety and not bump into the people."
So, everyone set out from the palace on their bicycles.
As soon as he appeared on the street, he attracted the attention of many people.
"Look, what car is that?"
An old vegetable seller said in surprise.
"I've never seen it before, it looks interesting."
An old lady nearby said.
"These bikes are so fast to ride. If I had one, it would be much more convenient to go out and buy groceries."
A young woman said with envy on her face.
The children were even more excited and trotted behind the bicycles.
"Uncle and aunt, this bicycle is so fun!"
Nan Jinyi shouted to the children while riding his bike.
The people talked about it, their eyes full of curiosity and yearning for this new thing.
They rode their bicycles all the way to the gate of the palace.
The guards at the door were also surprised when they saw this strange team.
Princess: "What are you doing..." a guard asked in confusion.
"This is a bicycle. Let's ride it out to have a look and feel the New Year's excitement."
Bai Linglong explained with a smile.
At this time, a minister just came out of the palace and saw this scene. He couldn't help but sighed:
"As the saying goes, there are so many new and interesting things emerging.
This bicycle looks simple, but it is so practical. If it can be promoted among the people, it will definitely bring a lot of convenience to people's lives. ”
Bai Linglong was moved after hearing this: "Your Excellency is right, this bicycle is indeed very convenient for traveling.
If you are interested, you can provide a few and let the craftsmen study and imitate them. Maybe they can be popularized among the people in the future. ”
The minister nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of praise: "Princess, you are thoughtful. This way, the people will be blessed."
They stayed at the gate of the palace for a while, then rode their bicycles back to the palace.
Along the way, people's eyes followed them all the time, and they could hear endless discussions about bicycles.
Back at the palace, everyone was still immersed in the joy and novelty just now.
"It was so funny that day. The people were so amused when they saw us riding bicycles."
Xiao Cui said excitedly.
"Yes, maybe soon, there will be bicycles on the streets and alleys of this capital."
Guard Yingfeng said with a smile.
Bai Linglong looked at everyone, her heart filled with relief: "The new year is coming, I hope these bicycles can bring more joy to everyone.
I also hope that in the new year, our palace will be safe and smooth, and the people of the world will live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Everyone nodded, their eyes sparkling with beautiful expectations for the New Year.
As night fell, the lights in the palace were brightly lit.
Bai Linglong's family sat together, eating a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner and enjoying the fun of the day.
Outside the window, fireworks bloomed, lighting up the entire night sky and adding a brilliant color to the New Year's Eve.
In this joyful and auspicious atmosphere, we welcome the New Year together, looking forward to more surprises and gains in the new year.
