"No need to detain us, just treat us as friends who come to have a meal."
Seeing the expressions of Tian and others, Concubine Rui smiled softly and comforted them.
"Although I am a queen, I don't have any real friends to talk to on weekdays. Coming to the palace makes me feel a lot more comfortable. I see Sister-in-law Tian, ​​you are about the same age as me. You can come to me when you have nothing to do.
Let me talk."
Tian was very frightened and said with a smile: "I am just a commoner, how can I be so valued by your Majesty. If your Majesty needs it, I will accompany you to relieve your boredom."
"When it snowed last time, Xiaoyuan gave me a pair of cotton gloves, and I'm still here today. I heard her say that Sister-in-law Tian made them?"
"It was made by Qingqing. My eyesight is not good and I am afraid that the embroidery will be damaged. She helped me embroider the pattern."
"Oh, at such a young age, you have such a pair of skillful hands. I think your embroidery skills are even better than those of the embroiderers in the palace."
Concubine Rui looked at Fu Qingqing with a smile.
Fu Qingqing lowered her head, a little shy.
"The queen is so impressed."
"I'm telling the truth. I saw this embroidery and wanted to ask, do you have time? I have a sample of embroidery and I need your help."
Fu Qingqing was even more frightened and looked at Jiang Yuan, subconsciously trying to find some courage.
Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded to her.
"I have time."
"Wait until after the New Year, no, tomorrow, I'll have someone pick you up. I'm a little pressed for time, won't it delay you anything?"
"No, it won't."
"That's good."
Fu Qingqing felt like she was dreaming. How could she be attracted by Concubine Rui?
I also want her to help embroider things.
"I'm out of work now, thanks to meeting Xiao Yuan. Otherwise, I might not even be able to leave my bed now."
Jiang Yuan was sitting next to her. She looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile, her eyes full of gentleness.
"That's because the empress has a deep blessing. Otherwise, no matter how good my medical skills are, I still won't be able to see the empress."
Jiang Yuan discovered that she was very fluent in flattery...
The meal was very relaxing. After the Third Prince and Concubine Rui left, Shitou Fei was holding a box of small fireworks.
He wants to set off fireworks.
Mu Er moved a box and ordered it for him from a distance.
Fireworks exploded in the small courtyard, which was very gorgeous.
Shitou clapped his hands and jumped up and down happily.
——
It was New Year's Eve. After breakfast in the morning, Fu Jiufu was writing Spring Festival couplets on the shore.
Shitou stood on tiptoe and watched.
"What? You want to try too?"
There was expectation in Shitou's eyes, but he shook his head. His handwriting was not as beautiful as his father's.
He doesn't want to be compared...
"You wrote the Spring Festival couplets in our east chamber."
Fu Jiu pretended not to notice him and shook his head, wrote the Spring Festival couplets on clothes and asked Shitou to copy them.
Shitou was a little hesitant, but he couldn't resist the urge to write Spring Festival couplets.
Picked up the brush and started writing in a decent manner.
After Fu Jiu finished writing all the Spring Festival couplets, Shitou's was also finished.
"The scent of the embroidered house is warm, and the orchid house is full of joy."
He happens to know all these words.
Fu Jiu took a look and said, "It's not bad."
Shitou raised his head. In order not to be despised by his father, he practiced calligraphy very hard!
While studying with Mr. Jiang, he will also be able to practice calligraphy!
"Let's go, let's put up the Spring Festival couplets." Fu Jiu smiled and touched his head.
After taking the Spring Festival couplets and paste, Shitou followed Fu Jiu and put up the Spring Festival couplets.
Mu Er also hung up the lantern.
Jiang Yuan was busy in the kitchen, chopping dumpling fillings.
By the time the work was done, it was almost noon.
