Chapter 470: Good Luck and Prosperity in the New Year

The second elder brother was a worried person. He had been planning for it for a long time and was unwilling to give up. He whispered to Yan Qingshan for a long time.

Yan Qingshan listened quietly for a while, and then asked him, "Have you ever thought about how long it will take before you need to consider this matter?"

Yan Shirong was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Emperor Mingpei is in good health. He is nearly sixty years old but still energetic and healthy. Especially since Xinbao is a miracle doctor, it is not difficult to extend his life by several decades.

Therefore, this is something that may only need to be considered after ten or twenty years.

It’s not that Yan Qingshan doesn’t have time to learn, but if he fights... it will be a situation where the son is older and the father is stronger.

Yan Shirong once again felt deeply that his father was indeed a wise man, with both great wisdom and great decisiveness. He often prided himself on his intelligence, but in this regard, he was really not as good as his father.

Yan Shirong stood in silence for a long time, feeling aggrieved but knowing that he was wrong, he angrily said: "I'm going to find Xinbao!"

He came out angrily without even putting on his coat.

Xinbao had already fallen asleep soundly.

Because I like that gold collar so much, I even hold it in my hand when I sleep at night.

Looking at her carefree little face, Yan Shirong gradually calmed down for some reason.

He took off his outer robe and shoes, lay down on the edge of the bed, and put his arms around his sister. Although he was very sleepy, he was not sleepy at all. He just closed his eyes and pondered.

He felt as if there was suddenly something important in his mind. He wanted to go over, but for some reason he was a little scared. He forced himself not to touch it or think about it.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Mingpei was very busy.

The ceremony of grinding ink and starting to write was very grand in the early morning. As the crown prince, Yan Qingshan had to hold the golden pen, so he went early.

Emperor Mingpei would drink Tusu wine, a medicinal wine that can ward off evil spirits and drive away plague. Then he would write a line of auspicious words on yellow paper with cinnabar, and then write auspicious words on both sides with ink, and then seal it in a special yellow box.

Afterwards, go to the Taimiao to worship your ancestors.

Female family members are not required to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, but Xinbao is the princess who guards the country, so she needs to participate.

Xinbao slept late at night and was woken up in the morning. She was wearing a princess crown and dress. She was so sleepy that she was dazed. Her two big eyes were wide open, but she seemed to see nothing.

Fortunately, there was a grand court meeting later, and the ceremony of worshipping ancestors was not complicated. Emperor Mingpei had originally wanted to have breakfast together after the ceremony, but when he saw how sleepy she was, he felt distressed: "Hurry up and take her back to sleep. Fan'er and Rong'er should stay too."

Together with Yan Qingshan and Wuliuqijiu, they had breakfast together, and then the New Year's court meeting began.

Most palace banquets on the first night of the new year are cancelled, and this year will be cancelled as well, so it will be quiet after the grand court meeting is over.

Xinbao and a few other kids went back. Xinbao fell asleep immediately, and the others also took the opportunity to sleep for a while.

The first day of the new year is very lively among the people, but in the palace, some are really busy, and some are not busy either.

Anyway, Xinbao slept through the grand court meeting. When she woke up, Chunhua had opened the curtains. Xinbao sat up, still half asleep, when she saw several palace maids bowing in front of the bed, saying, "Your Highness, I wish you a happy new year, good fortune, and success in everything."

Tuanzi was frightened all of a sudden, turned his head and opened his eyes wide.

Chunhua and the others also found it a little funny.

Tuanzi insisted on sleeping with the gold collar in his arms last night, and it was not taken away after the sacrifice. As a result, it was pressed down somehow, and a clear "Fu" (blessing) pattern appeared on his right cheek, which is quite auspicious, but looks a bit funny.

Tuanzi quickly came to his senses and said, "No need to be polite."

After thinking for a while, he remembered what Madam Lin had told him yesterday and said, "Reward."

Several people thanked her happily and came over to help her wash up. By the time Xinbao had packed up and dressed and came out, it was already noon. Yan Qingshan and others had returned, and Yuan Shenjue had also come, bringing Hao Huashi with him as usual.

Standing for several hours is not an easy job, and since we had stayed up all night, everyone was a little tired.

Only Xinbao's little face was rosy as he slept. He was wearing a little red jacket with a red dot on his forehead. He looked like a doll in a New Year picture, and came out happily to greet the guests.

Yan Qingshan saw it, bent down and picked up his daughter, rubbing the marks on her face with his hands: "Is there something pressed on it?"

Xinbao tilted his head as his dad rubbed it, and insisted on clasping his two little hands: "Daddy, I wish you a happy new year, good health and longevity, good luck, and everything goes well..."

Yan Qingshan nodded and carried his daughter inside. Madam Lin said with a smile, "Can't you hear? Your daughter wants the New Year's money!"

She handed him a red envelope, and Yan Qingshan gave it to his daughter. Xinbao approached with her two little hands, and immediately went to Lin Niangzi and said, "A happy new year, mother, may you live a long and healthy life, be as beautiful as a flower, and have a beautiful face..."

Madam Lin deliberately listened carefully, then nodded and gave her a red seal: "Xinbao, may you grow taller and taller, live in peace and happiness!"

Tuanzi moved in front of the big brother: "Big brother, happy new year, good luck and everything goes well..."

In a place like the palace, a respectable master really doesn't have to worry about anything.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

For example, during the Chinese New Year, the inner government office had already prepared a lot of golden melon seeds, golden peanuts, small ingots and the like, ready to be used as rewards.

There was no need for peers to give red envelopes, so the brothers just took out something and gave it to Yuan Shenjue. Everyone had heard it several times and were ready to pack up and eat, but Tuanzi handed all the things he had just received to him: "Wife, you take it first, Xinbao will go and cheat later."

She shook her little hands: "No, no, Xinbao will go and earn more."

Everyone: “…”

Yuan Shenjue smiled and staggered, and actually put those away. He took out a red jade carved "Fu" character from his sleeve pocket. It had a tassel tied on it, and tied it to her skirt with a smile: "This is the New Year's money for Xinbao. I wish you good luck in the new year and prosperity."

Xinbao hugged him and gave him a kiss.

Hao Huashi coughed behind him.

Xinbao suddenly remembered that she was also an elder.

She scratched her face with her little paws and looked at her apprentice, thinking about what to do.

Then her wife gave her a bunch of spending money: "Give it to him."

Giving money as reward is also an ancient custom, especially since this money is made of pure gold and is exquisitely crafted. Xinbao took it and stretched out his hand.

Hao Huashi understood and quickly squatted down. Xinbao touched his head and said, "Huashi, I wish you grow taller and bigger, and live in peace and happiness in the future!"

Hao Huashi responded without hesitation: "Thank you, Master."

He was the youngest here and usually suffered a lot, but today he got the upper hand, and everyone had to give him red envelopes!! He took all the red envelopes without any hesitation!! Everyone finished the meal while making a lot of noise.

Yan Qingshan and a few others went to catch up on their sleep, while the twins ran out energetically to set off fireworks.

There is a large open space in front of Chengqian Palace where any kind of fireworks can be set off. Now that the news that Fourth Brother is going to take over the Inner Palace has spread, the people in the palace are afraid that they will not be enthusiastic. They have already set up a tall rack outside and filled it with fireworks and firecrackers. The twins have learned a little Kung Fu and are smarter than the eunuchs, so they dare to set off anything.

The fireworks at this time are already very delicate, with all kinds of flowers and animals, and complex ones such as the Eight Immortals Holding Longevity, the Seven Saints Subduing Demons...

The daytime looks gorgeous.

Xinbao was watching nearby, and Fang Wuyou came over and called her, "Little Princess, the Emperor has woken up and is calling you over!"
