Chapter 463 Blessing

Xinbao ate dinner with a fan in his hands throughout.

She was afraid that someone would knock off her little finger sleeve, so she would raise her hand high whenever someone fed her, never feeling tired.

Yan Shifan almost died of laughter: "Come on, you are so conceited at such a young age!"

Madam Lin laughed and said, "What about the girl? Do you think it's you?"

As he spoke, he considerately held her little arm and helped her raise it. Yan Shifan also helped her raise one arm.

Xinbao passively raised his two little hands to be fed, but he always felt... something was wrong? ?

After dinner, Xinbao went back to his room to sleep. He did not untie the small cloth socks on his feet, and kept his hands outside the quilt, sleeping carefully.

As a result, when he woke up, Xinbao rubbed his eyes in a daze, and suddenly found something wrong. He raised his hand, and his fingers were clean. He lifted the quilt... the quilt was full of finger masks.

Xinbao: “…”

Tuanzi was very depressed and stretched out his legs to take a look.

Fortunately, I had cloth socks on my feet. After untying them, only the little toe of my left foot fell off, while the rest were well wrapped.

Chunhua put clothes on her first, then knelt in front of the couch and carefully took them off one by one. The dyed color was pink and tender, with a slight orange tint, so lovely.

Chunhua used a small fan to fan her feet gently for a while. After they were completely dry, she washed her feet and wanted to put socks on them, but Xinbao was not very happy.

Yu Ru tried to hold back her laughter and coaxed her: "It's New Year's Day today, it's very lively up ahead, don't you want to go take a look?"

Tuanzi reluctantly stretched out his legs: "Okay then."

So he put on his clothes and picked them up, only to find that Chunhua and the others were all wearing a kind of glittering headdress with butterflies, dragonflies, and small gourds. It is said that this is called Nao Nao Nao, also known as Nao'e, and it looks very beautiful when worn on the head.

The yard was more lively than ever before.

Under the eaves, there were people standing on ladders to hang palace lanterns, inserting sesame stalks on the eaves, and burning cypress branches in the yard. It is said that this is called "焴岁". Some people also hung various statues of the God of Wealth, Zhong Kui, eight treasures of gold and silver, and strings of knots in the room.

Several palace maids were helping Madam Lin put on makeup.

Tuanzi took a look and couldn't help but say: "Wow..."

She finally understood why the ancients could just pluck out a hairpin and give it to others as a reward! It turns out that the real formal makeup was so grand and gorgeous, much more gorgeous than the hairstyle they wore on the day of the imperial edict.

This is what it means to have a head full of pearls and jade! She was really shocked! Her eyes were wide open, staring blankly.

Madam Lin couldn't move her head and looked at her sideways: "Are you not going to eat yet?"

Madam Lin has a typical gorgeous appearance, with fair skin, beautiful features, and graceful eyebrows and features, but she has a pair of almond eyes with distinct black and white, which dilutes the "gorgeous" feeling of her face. Her whole person has a bright feeling, which makes her look even more majestic.

Tuanzi was so overwhelmed by her beauty that he thought her mother was so beautiful even in the blink of an eye.

Mrs. Lin was amused by her behavior and touched her chin with her hand: "Why are you daydreaming? Go eat quickly."

Tuanzi murmured, "Xinbao can't bear to leave. Xinbao wants to see A Niang all the time."

Mrs. Lin was amused by her and laughed: "You are such a sweet person!!"

When Xinbao heard his father coming in, he ran away, grabbed his father's hand and pulled him into the house.

Yan Qingshan was talking to his son and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xinbao grabbed his hands with both hands, and pulled them hard behind his back like a rope: "Look at Mom, Daddy, come and see Mom, Mom is so beautiful."

Yan Qingshan was pulled in by her obediently and looked up.

Madam Lin also looked up at him, Xinbao glanced at him a few more times, then turned around to exchange his thoughts with his father, but found that his father didn't move.

Xinbao shook his father's hand and said, "Isn't my mother very beautiful?"

Yan Qingshan nodded and said in a calm voice, "Very beautiful."

There was a hint of smile in his eyes. Madam Lin blushed when he looked at her and turned away: "Take Xinbao to eat quickly and stop teasing me!"

Yan Qingshan nodded and came out carrying his daughter.

Xinbao put the dishes into the bowl, then asked someone to bring a stool over. He ate while watching A Niang. After the meal, A Niang had not finished dressing up yet.

Everything was extremely delicate and beautiful. The little golden butterfly even had whiskers, and was as delicate as a work of art. Xinbao was so envious that he said, "Xinbao also wants this, this, and this..."

Madam Lin smiled and said, "I'll keep them all for you. You'll have them all when you need them."

She paused and continued, "I'll dress you up for the dinner party, too. You don't need to dress up now."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yuan Shenjue and Hao Huashi will be in Longxiong Guard today, so they didn't come. Instead, Emperor Mingpei sent someone to pick up Xinbao, saying that his family was busy and asked her to go over there.

Xinbao was a little confused: "Aren't we having dinner in the evening?"

The second elder brother smiled and said, "It's a palace banquet in the evening, but father and mother will be busy from noon. For example, mother will have dinner with Consort Shu and other concubines, and father will have dinner with the ministers and ministers. We will also go, and several uncles will also go. There is no one here, so you can relax with Yeye, but if you follow mother, you will have to deal with those concubines."

Tuanzi suddenly realized and went to the Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters were hung everywhere in the palace, and palace lanterns were hung all over the eaves overnight, creating quite an atmosphere as one walked along.

From time to time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard not far away. Xinbao pointed and asked, "Who is setting off firecrackers?"

Bai Ji laughed hastily and said, "Your Highness, from New Year's Eve to the first day of the new year, every time the emperor passes a door, the eunuchs will set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate the occasion. This morning, the emperor summoned several ladies to have dinner together, so he must have returned!"

Xinbao nodded.

Sure enough, when they finally arrived at the Qianqing Palace after looking at Jing'er all the way, Emperor Mingpei had already returned and was writing in his room.

Xinbao took off his cloak and went in, and saw that Yeye had written a lot of "Fu" characters.

Tuanzi said, "Yeah!" and ran over, wanting to sit on the chair next to him, but he pushed his hands on the table again and again... Before the ink of the word "Fu" had dried, he left a clear little paw print on another piece of paper.

Emperor Mingpei laughed and said, "He makes trouble as soon as he arrives."

Tuanzi adjusted her posture. This stool was originally for Emperor Mingpei to sit on. She was very low when she sat on it, with only a small head sticking out. She looked around eagerly: "Ye Ye wrote so much, is he going to give it to so many people?"

Emperor Mingpei was stunned: "Grant it?"

There is no such custom in the palace nowadays, but think about it, bestowing the word "Fu" on ministers means "blessing", which will indeed make the monarch and his ministers appear harmonious and demonstrate the imperial power.

Emperor Mingpei wrote the word "Fu" just on a whim, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea.

But if he wanted to bestow a blessing, writing it on paper would not be solemn enough, so he asked someone to bring yellow silk.

There was yellow silk in the palace that was specially used for writing the word "Fu". Emperor Mingpei was good at calligraphy and was as good as anyone else. He dipped the silk in thick ink and wrote a majestic word "Fu".
