Seeing Empress Dowager Yan's absent-minded appearance, the close-fitting maid stood beside Empress Dowager Yan with her hands. She bent over and put the thin white fluffy blanket on her legs for Empress Dowager Yan, while whispering: "Mrs., today's New Year's Eve
Even if His Majesty and the Ninth Prince come back, they will go to the patrol camp and must talk to the soldiers for a while. Why would the Queen Mother use some bird's nest porridge to cushion your stomach first?"
"No..." Empress Dowager Yan rubbed the stove cover with green bamboo embroidered in her arms, exhaled a long breath, and then pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"The Empress Dowager is thinking of the late emperor." Empress Dowager Yan's personal maid also turned red. She knew that the Empress Dowager and the late emperor had a deep relationship.
"In previous years, the late emperor always stayed by my side. He would always give me some gadgets to make me happy. The late emperor always said that the treasury was difficult, so he could only give me some gadgets that were worthless, but...
...Anu, I am very happy in my heart. No matter what he gives me, it means I am in my heart! I am really happy..."
Thinking of the past with Murong Yu, Empress Dowager Yan was in tears and wished she could go with Murong Yu now, but if she left, no one would control Ayan. If he had thoughts, her child would be at all.
I can't handle it.
Queen Mother Yan knew in her heart that although she had no great ability, Murong Yan had always respected her sister-in-law, and with her... Ayan would not be careless.
"Anu, do you think... will Ayan not come back for New Year's Eve? After all, today is New Year's Eve. The Emperor of Great Zhou is pregnant with his blood. How can Ali and I have his children?" Empress Dowager Yan's heart
It hurts when it pulls.
As he was speaking, the little eunuch outside came in with a curtain and saluted, saying, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty and the Ninth Prince are coming here!"
Empress Dowager Yan hurriedly used a veil to tear her eyes, held Annu's hand and stood up, showing a happy smile: "Go quickly, let a few people carry the lights to welcome you, today the wind and snow are heavy... Let Your Majesty and Jiu
The prince is careful of slippery roads!”
"yes!"
"Go and warm the honey that Meng Zhaorong brewed with his own hands to a pot. The apricot fruit nectar has a rich aroma and a mouth and smells fragrant. Even though Ali is young, he can drink two cups! Let Ayan taste Meng Zhaorong's craftsmanship." Yan
The queen mother smiled and said.
"Oh!" Annu responded and turned to Wen Guozimi.
Murong Li and Murong Yan came in with cold air, took off the cloak on their bodies, and then went forward to salute Empress Dowager Yan.
"My son has met my mother! Happy New Year to me!"
"Ayan has met his sister-in-law! Happy New Year to my sister-in-law!"
Seeing Murong Yan's eyes with a smile, she seemed to have not cared about what she said before, Empress Dowager Yan felt much more at ease.
She turned her head and looked at the close maid Anu. Annu quickly smiled and brought up a square plate of painted bamboo with red painted gold. There were two red purses inside, one embroidered with a golden dragon and the other embroidered with a golden python.
Queen Mother Yan picked up the purse embroidered with the golden dragon from the tray, smiled and said to Murong Li: "Ali, this is the New Year's purse that my mother gave you. In the coming year... I will continue to work hard and be a person who will not let your father and you.
Uncle Ninth is disappointed good emperor!”
Murong Li stepped forward to take the purse and said with a smile: "My son will also be a good emperor who will reassure Ah Niang and the people."
Queen Mother Yan nodded with a smile, took the purse with a golden python embroidered in the tray, and looked at Murong Yan with a smile: "Ayan, you were not at home on New Year's Eve in previous years, your brother always prepared New Year's bags for you
, said I'll give you my help! This year...Ayan is in Yan State during the Chinese New Year, but your brother..."
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Yan's voice choked and her eyes turned red again. She forced herself to hold on and smiled with Murong Yan: "So, this New Year red envelope will be given to you this year! Don't take what my sister-in-law said that day to heart, it's
My sister-in-law is too slight, which hurts our Ayan's heart."
"Sister-in-law, we will not say two things in our family! When teeth and tongues are still bumped, ordinary relatives will quarrel, but because we were born in the royal family, we talk about family affairs... we are talking about state affairs!
"Murong Yan wanted to ease the atmosphere, and his eyes fell on the purse in Queen Mother Yan's hand, "Sister-in-law Ayan is already an adult! After receiving this New Year's red envelope, wouldn't Xiao Ali laugh at me?"
Queen Mother Yan was amused and laughed out loud: "He dares! With sister-in-law... you will always be the child when she first met her sister-in-law!"
Murong Yan was no longer polite, and stepped forward to take the New Year red envelope and thanked him solemnly.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince, the food has been heated up again, it's ready to use!" Anu stepped forward to salute.
Murong Yan sat down at the round table, watching his sister-in-law keep picking food into his and Murong Li's plates, and he couldn't help but think of Bai Qingyan again...
If Bai Qingyan hadn't asked him to come back for New Year's Eve, he would have stayed in the Great Zhou Dynasty to accompany Bai Qingyan. How sad would it be if his sister-in-law had no brother to celebrate New Year's Eve in the past year? Maybe he would be even more suspicious that he would have been going on tomorrow.
Yan State bowed to Bai Qingyan and had a deeper misunderstanding of Dazhou and him.
"Your brother said that this braised lion head is the best dish of the mother. Ayan likes to eat when he was a child. I made it according to the recipe left by my mother. This is the second time I'm making it and I don't know how it tastes, Ayan
You try it!" Empress Dowager Yan picked up a piece for Murong Yan and asked him to taste it with a smile.
When my mother was still there when she was a child, she always liked to make a lot of food for her brothers that she had never heard of. Later, after her mother left, he gradually forgot the tastes over time.
"Thank you sister-in-law!" Murong Yan said with a smile.
Seeing that his mother and Uncle Jiu got along well, Murong Li also had a smile on his face. This is what the family should look like.

The white snow fell all night, covering the double-eaved green tiles of Pingdu City under the crystal white snow. Even the burned ruins and ruins accumulated a thick layer of white and fluffy snow on the top of the head.
Bai Jinzhi got up early one morning and came to Bai Qingyan for breakfast. He asked how the elder sister would leave behind. But as soon as he arrived outside the elder sister's door, he heard the fifth brother mention it again to ask the elder sister to return to the capital.
thing.
She hurriedly signaled Wei Zhong not to report, and put his ear on the carved partition fan and eavesdropped.
"The spring examination begins at the end of February and early March. At the latest, I will definitely rush back before the palace examination. I will set off at the end of the first lunar month and walk back..." Bai Qingyan calmly picked up a steamed cake for Bai Qingyu, laughing
He looked up and said to the door, "Xiao Si also comes in and has breakfast, don't eavesdrop."
Bai Jinzhi lifted the blue-gray curtain with the cotton clip and came in, and smiled and said, "I have just arrived, and I haven't heard anything yet!"
As he said that, Bai Jinzhi walked to the stove and reached out to bake the fire, cleaned his hands again, and then sat at the round table. Wei Zhong added a set of bowls and chopsticks to Bai Jinzhi, served her a bowl of porridge, and then retreated to the side.
