Chapter 312 Lively New Year’s Eve!
New Year's Eve.
The eldest princess and Gu Ting took Gu Yunfei, Gu Yunlang, Qin Qingyuan and Gu Jinghuai to the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Originally, Qin Zhizhi, the newly appointed county lady, was also supposed to go, but because her child was young, Qin Zhizhi didn't want to go through the hassle, so the princess let her stay in the mansion.
The eldest princess still has this right. After entering the palace, the eldest princess told the queen about Qin Zhizhi's situation, and the queen smiled and said.
"I was inconsiderate. The child is still young and breastfeeding, so it is indeed not appropriate for her to attend the palace banquet."
"Zhizhi was afraid that the Empress would misunderstand, so she asked me to explain it to her before leaving."
Many ladies of noble birth were also here with the Queen. The eldest princess not only explained the reason why her niece-in-law could not be present, but also gave the Queen enough face.
"Royal sister, we are all family, there is no need to misunderstand. Jun'er came back to the palace two days ago and praised my niece for her beauty."
Ever since the Second Prince met Gu Nian, he has been pestering the Emperor and the Empress to give him such a lovely sister after returning to the palace. The Emperor and the Empress have been avoiding him recently.
Others knew that the Queen and the eldest princess had a good relationship and that the Emperor valued the Gu and Qin families, so they naturally would not say inappropriate words at this time.
"Then I feel relieved. Otherwise, Zhizhi would still be nagging about this, and I wouldn't be able to celebrate New Year's Eve. Now everything is fine, and I can celebrate New Year's Eve with peace of mind."
The eldest princess smiled happily. Every time she entered the palace, there was no bloodshed, which was the greatest happiness for her.
"This child is so simple-minded!" The queen said this as an elder.
"That's right. She's very filial to us on weekdays. She used all the money she earned from the beauty salon to buy us gifts for the New Year."
As the princess spoke, she deliberately revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Could this jade bracelet of my sister be given by Zhizhi?" The Queen asked knowingly.
"That's right. You said the shop only makes a few silver coins, and you bought such an expensive bracelet all at once."
The eldest princess seemed to be complaining in every sentence, but in fact she was praising Qin Zhizhi for her filial piety.
"The eldest princess is so blessed. Not only are the princess and the prince filial to her, but now even her nephews and nieces are so filial to her."
"Who says it isn't true? The princess is so lucky!"
"Not only is our county lady filial, but the skincare products at Meiyanfang are also very useful."
.....
Speaking of this, all the ladies were envious. Qin Zhizhi did not have a close relationship with these ladies, but because of the eldest princess, she left a reputation of being filial to everyone.
Then a sharp-eyed lady saw the amethyst jewelry the queen was wearing today, and the queen praised Qin Zhizhi generously.
By the way, I promoted Qin Zhizhi in advance, and everyone decided to buy some when the time comes. They look so beautiful.
Gu Yunfei looked at the lively scene in front of her and felt like laughing. Her mother and aunt were so awesome.
She and her sister-in-law's shop hasn't even opened yet, but so many people want to buy from it.
It was not until the palace servants came to inform them that the banquet was about to begin that the Queen and the eldest princess rushed over with their entourage.
Gu Yunfei personally supported the queen, and the ladies knew clearly how favored Gu Yunfei was.
She was once Princess Yunfei, and now the new bride of the Qin family. No matter how her status changes, she is still the beloved niece of the Emperor and Empress.
The palace banquet was very lively. The emperor rewarded some ministers, and officials of high ranks gathered together to drink and enjoy singing and dancing.
The palace banquets are all the same every year. After attending so many of them, I naturally lose interest.
Although Gu Ting was at the banquet, his heart had already flown home, as there were so many delicious foods waiting for him in the mansion.
When they went out, Qin Zhizhi took the children, the old lady, Gu Shi and his wife, Jing Shu, and Jing Yao all ran to the Qin family to join in the fun.
They all agreed that when they returned from the palace, the whole family would have another meal together.
At this time, the Qin family was more lively than the palace banquet.
Several families gathered together and dinner was arranged early. Qin Zhizhi also set up games for the children.
The men drank, played finger-guessing games, and chatted, while the women ate delicious food and laughed happily.
Madam Gu and Mrs. Qin were talking and laughing happily. The two families were so conveniently close to each other.
Mrs. Qin also taught everyone how to play mahjong, and after dinner, everyone started playing.
Mr. Zhang and his mother were also invited by Mrs. Qin to celebrate New Year's Eve together. Mr. Zhang was already married.
With the help of Mr. Wang, he married the daughter of a good friend of his. The girl was a businesswoman and wanted to find an educated man.
The girl didn't care about Mr. Zhang's legs. After marriage, the couple lived in harmony and she was very filial to her mother-in-law.
Mr. Zhang bought a house, and his family of three currently lives in the new house, living a very happy life.
Zhang Xiucai and his mother are grateful to the Qin family, as the Qin family has given them so much help along the way.
The few people returned home when the palace banquet was almost over, so when the eldest princess and her companions returned to the mansion, everyone was already waiting for them.
After Gu Yunfei and Qin Qingyuan returned to the Qin family and greeted everyone, everyone asked them to go to the Gu family for another meal.
While the Qin family was having fun at home, the Gu family's New Year's Eve dinner had just begun.
Qin Zhizhi and the others had only eaten half full at the Qin family before, and were saving their stomachs for this meal.
Gu Ting ate and praised the food in the mansion, saying that it was the food that suited his taste best.
I thought my daughter was getting married this year and we would have to spend New Year's Eve separately. Now not only my daughter is here, but my son-in-law is also here. Gu Ting is in a very happy mood.
The Gu family finished dinner very late, so Qin Qingyuan and Gu Yunfei stayed with their grandmother for a while before returning to the Qin family.
Everyone in the Qin family had not gone to bed yet, and was staying up to celebrate the New Year in the yard of Mrs. Qin and Old Man Qin.
When everyone saw the two people coming back, they warmly invited them to sit down and join them.
There was no blame, no accusation, no dissatisfaction or unhappiness, and Gu Yunfei was moved again.
"Princess, if you are tired, you can go back and rest first. We will guard you."
Her aunts and aunts felt sorry for her because she had to go to the palace banquet and then return to the Gu family. Now she had to stay up with them to celebrate the New Year, and they were worried that she was tired.
In their hearts, the princess is such a precious person. It is a blessing for her ancestors to be able to stay up all night with them.
"Thank you everyone, I'm not sleepy, I want to stay up all night for my grandma and my parents!"
Gu Yunfei shook her head firmly, she wanted to stay up all night with everyone.
"The princess is so filial, we will accompany you!"
Seeing that Gu Yunfei insisted, everyone stopped trying to persuade her. The most important thing during the New Year was to be happy.
They talked about family matters and interesting things that happened in the past, and Gu Yunfei listened with great interest.
She felt that these people were kind and sincere, which made her happy.
Everyone stayed in Qin Po's yard until late at night before going back to sleep.
If we didn't have to get up early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings, we would be reluctant to leave.
Who knows when we will have such a gathering and such joy next time?
On the way back, Qin Qingyuan squatted down and said to his wife who was very sleepy. "Come on, I will carry you back."
"Okay, thank you, husband!"
Gu Yunfei was really sleepy, so she lay on Qin Qingyuan's back and fell asleep before returning to the yard.
Qin Qingyuan was filled with joy, but he took every step very steadily, fearing that the person on his back would wake up.
