Yinqi walked over quickly, showed a gentle smile, and said with a smile: "I have to stay up all night tonight, please bear with me!"
Wanyue immediately pouted and nodded. It had been a long time since she had gone through this, so she felt a little sleepy. Fortunately, it was only one day a year.
I don’t know when the idea of keeping the year old arose. Wanyue heard it mentioned by Granny Li by chance. It seemed that the Han people had the habit of keeping the year old on New Year’s Eve. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they also imitated the custom of the Han people, and gradually the Eight Banners The children also stay up late on New Year's Eve to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
The maids and servants in Xinuang Pavilion were not asleep yet, and the two masters were not asleep yet, so they had no choice but to stay up late, but the three children, Hongyuan, Junhua and Sifeng, couldn't help themselves and fell asleep early.
Hongsheng now has a master to teach him his studies, and he knows etiquette, respect, and inferiority. As the eldest son, he has to set an example for his younger brothers and sisters in the mansion. He obediently sat in the house with Wanyue.
It wasn't until Yinqi came in that Hongsheng stood up, bowed to Yinqi in a decent manner, and said loudly: "My son, I wish my mother a happy new year, and I wish my mother good health and happiness."
Hearing this, Yinqi looked at Hongsheng with lowered eyes and said with approval: "Well, Hongsheng's auspicious words are quite good. It seems that the teacher is attentive to you."
After saying that, Yinqi gave instructions to Butler Yan who was standing at the door: "Butler Yan, please remember to reward the teacher with some money in a few days. He has been teaching Hongsheng diligently and deserves a reward."
Butler Yan stood at the door and bowed in response: "嗻!"
Wanyue glanced at Hongsheng. This child knew how to talk. I hope he could forget the wrong things his mother had done. Wanyue prayed in her heart.
At this time, Grandma Wang walked in from outside the house, glanced at Yinzhi and Wanyue, thought for a while, and asked: "Master, the New Year's Eve dinner has been prepared. Do you want to send the other little masters over now?" ?”
Wanyue couldn't help but glance at Yinqi, who nodded slightly towards her. Grandma Wang already understood and subconsciously stepped back towards the door with her legs raised.
Then he ordered to the few boys standing at the door: "You two go and call my concubine Fujin and two Gege to come over and have a New Year's Eve dinner with Fujin and Wu Beile."
After a while, Su Xin, Ma Gege and Qian Gege came, but they only had tea snacks, fruits and some cold dishes. There were almost no hot dishes. The dining room did not prepare hot dishes at all. In such weather, the hot dishes were served soon after they were served. It's cold.
Several people sat around chatting and laughing, and the maids brought three more charcoal pots. The room felt warm for a while. Seeing that Qian Gege seemed a little silent, Wanyue suggested, "How about we play Pai Gow together?" Bar?"
Su Xin and Ma Gege agreed, and Yin Qi smiled slightly, thinking of Yue'er's drowsy look when he entered the room just now and how energetic she was now.
Yinqi then responded: "This is a good suggestion, just pass the time, but we have to play with real money, otherwise it will be boring."
As soon as she mentioned that she wanted to play for real, Ma Gege suddenly felt cold. She had saved all her money to buy ingredients, so what if she lost them all!
She frowned involuntarily, her excitement had been mostly extinguished, while Qian Gege, who was sitting next to her, said nothing and had a very cold expression on her face.
Seeing that Ma Gege seemed a little hesitant, Wanyue couldn't help but joked: "Sister, Lord Baylor is just trying to bluff you, how could he ask for your money? Just have fun."
When Wanyue said this, Ma Gege blushed and nodded. She was overthinking it.
A few people played like this until the first day of the first lunar month.
Yinqi and Wanyue were about to enter the palace to pay their respects to Concubine Yi. Suxin, Ma Gege and Qian Gege fell asleep as soon as they returned to the room.
Wanyue closed her eyes and slept in the carriage for a while, until Yinqi woke her up after arriving at Shenwu Gate. As soon as Wanyue got off the carriage, the carriages of Brother Nine and Nine Fujin also arrived.
Wanyue squinted her eyes and looked at it. After watching Jiu Fujin get out of the carriage, she changed the expression on her face.
"Nine younger brothers and sisters, what a coincidence. I didn't expect everyone to arrive together."
"Yes, fifth sister-in-law, let's go and pay our respects to E Niang together." Jiu Fujin glanced at Wanyue. Fortunately, she was here, so she didn't have to go to Yikun Palace alone.
Jiu Fujin is not pregnant yet, and all the concubines in the mansion have given birth to a concubine. Although Concubine Yi did not say anything publicly, Jiu Fujin is still a little concerned about this matter in her heart.
Yinyue and Jiu Age walked side by side in front, and Wanyue and Jiu Fujin walked hand in hand behind them. Along the way, Wanyue and Jiu Fujin seemed to have opened up a chat box, chatting all the way from Shenwu Gate to Yikun Palace Gate.
Wanyue and Jiu Fujin didn't stop talking until Concubine Yi's personal eunuch, Eunuch Zhang, came out to let them in.
Brother Ninth couldn't help but shook his head and muttered to himself: Why does this woman talk so little in the house, but she talks a lot with Sister-in-law Five!
After several people entered the main hall of Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was already sitting on the main seat waiting for them. After seeing her two sons and two daughters-in-law, Concubine Yi was very happy, and even the faces of the palace maids holding gifts in their hands were
Everyone was smiling.
After some salutes, several people sat down, and Concubine Yi raised her voice and said: "This is a gift from the emperor. I just collected two jade Ruyi, so I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. You two, Wufujin and Jiufujin.
A handle of jade will be your wish."
"Thank you, concubine mother!" Wanyue and Jiu Fujin stood up at the same time and saluted Concubine Yi to express their thanks.
There are many rules in the palace. After bowing, Concubine Yi winked at the two maids standing next to her. The two maids quickly moved to Wanyue and Jiufujin and handed over the jade Ruyi they were holding.
Presented in front of two people.
Wanyue and Jiu Fujin took over the Ruyi jade from the palace maid. The Ruyi jade was crystal clear and smooth to the touch like silk. They both liked it very much. The most important thing is that such Ruyi jade can only be found in the palace, not outside.
Even if people want to spend a lot of money, they can't buy it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the gifts from Yinzhi and Jiu Age were much inferior. What Yi Fei gave them were only things for riding and shooting, and the two of them were not very interested in them.
.
After drinking a few sips of tea, Brother Ninth felt a little unhappy when he thought that Brother Eight secretly talked to Brother Five without telling him last night, so he raised his head and glanced at Yinqi who was sitting opposite, and saw that his eyes were facing Sister-in-law Five.
I glanced at him a few times.
After Brother Nine hesitated for a moment, he put the tea in his hand aside and said, "Brother Fifth, why did you leave without telling me what I asked you last night?"
After hearing this, Concubine Yi, Wanyue and Jiu Fujin all turned their curious eyes towards Yinqi.
Yinqi was a little embarrassed to be stared at. After a while, he responded in a deep voice: "I was in a hurry to go back home. Besides, I didn't have anything to say."
Brother Jiu's body swayed slightly, his eyes clearly filled with disbelief, "Then what on earth did you and Brother Baz talk about? Why did you ignore me and leave?"
After hearing this, Yinqi was a little speechless, and asked in his heart: You still have the nerve to ask me, you have always been with your eighth brother, please forget about me as your biological brother!!!
People in the room looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the two brothers were talking about.
Wanyue was also quite curious as to what Ninth Brother meant by what he said. Could it be that Lord Beile and Eighth Brother had talked about something last night without Ninth Brother's knowledge?
Brother Jiu kept staring at Yinqi, wanting to know from him what they talked about last night. Yinqi looked back at him and roared with a little humbleness: "You are so familiar with Badi, why didn't you ask Badi?"
younger brother!"
When Concubine Yi heard this, she felt a little bit dumbfounded. Listening to the tone of the child Yinqi, why did it sound like he was jealous of the eighth prince Yinhu?
Before Concubine Yi had time to make fun of her two sons, she saw Brother Jiu get up and walk to kneel in front of Yinqi. Then he hugged Yinqi with both hands and shook her, "Fifth brother, just tell me! Fifth brother.
"
Seeing Brother Jiu's move, Jiu Fujin opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen a ghost.
