When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down and said, "I don't dare."
Sheng Sheng suddenly started sweating profusely. "You're here to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so you've got to kneel down, Rui, and give me the red envelope." Everyone was even more flattered when they heard this.
"Your Majesty, I'm so flattered that I don't dare to accept you." After saying this, he kowtowed.
Sheng Sheng: "Everyone, get up and kneel down for me. Listen to my imperial edict. Go down and eat. If you don't have enough, I'll tell the imperial kitchen to bring it to you. Xiaotao, go eat with them and supervise them. See who dares to eat enough and is hungry.
I didn’t ask anyone to give them to me either. I knelt down and knelt down, Rui. I’ll give out red envelopes tomorrow morning.”
Rui: "Okay... haven't you given the imperial edict yet? Get up and have a meal. Shunzi will inform the accountant. Tomorrow morning, red envelopes will be given to the slaves of [Xuanfeng Palace]. One hundred taels of silver per person."
These slaves are so grateful. They have been in the palace for four or five years. Which master has been so kind to them? There are dinners and red envelopes during the New Year. They are not allowed to kneel down at all times. There is no airs, and they are amused all day long.
Laughing. When someone was injured, someone would send someone the best medicine. When someone was bullied by another master, he would seek justice. They swore silently in their hearts: "Even if they die, they will never betray the master."
Time passed quickly. The gongs and drums sounded at midnight. The group of people arrived in the back garden.
Many officials and concubines had gathered there, but the Queen Mother did not go.
The fireworks have started. Colorful little bulbs shoot up into the sky. After a loud bang, they bloom into a beautiful flower cluster.
Golden fireworks shot up, forming a waterfall in the sky. The golden light flickered, and there was no sign of dissipating even after the incense was burned.
Then more colorful waterfalls like this rushed up.
The last seven-color rainbow went through it.
A few words bloomed in the sky: "Two people for life."
Sheng Sheng looked at Rui in confusion. The latter looked at Sheng Sheng with a face of satisfaction and pride. His eyes were full of doting.
