Xiao Nianzhi ate rabbit for four days in a row, and Aunt Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Then, they finally changed to new dishes.
sheep.
Yes, I finally stopped eating rabbit and started eating mutton again.
Xiao Nianzhi was so angry that he had several big bubbles on his mouth.
Aunt Yu finally realized her conscience and ate the mushroom soup.
I drank this soup until I was young, and finally managed to reduce the heat, allowing Xiao Nianzhi to save a little face.
The foam on my mouth went away, leaving dry marks.
The New Year has just arrived.
Xiao Nianzhi doesn't need to worry about dumplings.
The chef in the house, after many times of guidance, now prepares very good fillings.
Anyway, Xiao Nianzhi thought it was pretty good.
Stop letting her eat roasted lamb legs and drink lamb soup!
Not even rabbits!
She wants to eat something vegetarian recently.
mushroom soup……
Otherwise, forget it.
Green vegetables are pretty good.
We also grew some vegetables at home.
Xiao Nianzhi built a small shed with glass in the backyard where flowers were supposed to be planted.
Aunt Yu thinks it's very good, so she has people take care of her every day.
Leeks and Chinese cabbage are growing well now.
There are also some other vegetables planted in the corner.
When making noodles, add some occasionally and it tastes extra refreshing.
The dumplings on New Year's Eve are made of leek, eggs and Chinese cabbage.
Of course, there is also mutton with green onions.
However, Xiao Nianzhi didn't want to eat it.
Grandpa didn't like to eat it, so Aunt Yu tasted two.
The rest was given to the servants in the house.
It made them happy to follow.
Xiao Nianzhi ate some cabbage and meat, drank some vegetable soup, and finally felt...
Life seems less greasy lately.
Outside the house, someone had already started setting off fireworks.
A courtier suggested this matter before, but His Majesty got angry.
However, His Majesty has been in good spirits recently, and this is all money for the national treasury.
So, I finally agreed.
No, since childhood, the dignitaries in the capital have been setting off fireworks in large numbers.
Xiao Nianzhi quite enjoyed watching it. He sat on a chair, holding a refreshing fruit tea in his hand, and surrounded the stove, watching the excitement outside.
Time flies so fast and another year seems to have passed.
In the past, Xiao Nianzhi didn't feel that time passed quickly.
However, now I find...
It seems like in the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
Time is approaching, and sometimes people seem to have no time to react.
After the New Year, it turns to summer, and she has been here for three full years.
In three years, too many things have happened.
Maybe it's because being too busy makes people unintentionally ignore the speed of time, right?
Xiao Nianzhi sighed, and then found that Chang Shan and his men had set off small fireworks in the open space of the mansion.
Not big, like a child playing around.
It won't make the scene big, and it won't smell like fireworks everywhere.
It's quite lively.
Xiao Nianzhi looked at it seriously, which made Chang Shan and the others even happier.
After the Little New Year, the pace of the New Year seems to have accelerated.
I always feel that if I receive this today, I will receive my salary tomorrow, and I will submit an account book the day after.
New Year’s Eve is here!
Xiao Nianzhi will definitely go to the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace.
The official uniforms have been packed early in the morning, and the other spare set has also been packed and taken with you to avoid accidents at the banquet.
Under normal circumstances, nothing will happen.
At most, it is just a little wet with wine. As long as it is not excessive, His Majesty will not get angry over such a thing during the Chinese New Year.
As for the conspiracy?
Who would risk their lives to do such a trick at the annual banquet where His Majesty is happy?
On the evening of New Year's Eve, Xiao Nianzhi packed up his things and entered the palace.
She didn't have any family members that she needed to bring with her, so she brought Chang Shan and Isatis.
One drives the car for himself and protects his safety.
One who can take care of himself at all times.
Because they are all rewarded by His Majesty, no one will say anything.
Moreover, compared with other officials, there are so many people in a family, Xiao Nianzhi's side is really small.
Therefore, if you bring a maid and servant, no one will say anything.
The difference between this year's annual banquet and last year's is probably...
The people around you may be different.
This time last year, Xiao Nianzhi was still in the Ministry of Industry.
So, sitting next to me are colleagues from the Ministry of Industry.
This year, it was replaced by one from Shanglinyuan.
For Xiao Nianzhi, everything is pretty good.
We all get along well with each other, so whoever sits next to us is the same.
However, this year it is Yu Jianzheng who talks more.
Dishes...
Well, even if His Majesty is in a good mood this year and has taken some measures to keep warm.
But, it's still not great.
So, for cold cuts and the like, you can try a few bites and show off, just like that.
Hot dishes…
There is no need to make it difficult for yourself, really!
Your Majesty knows this well, but with so many people and such a large table, it is impossible to cover everything.
Moreover, he upgraded the insulation method this year.
However, I can’t stand the cold weather in such a big place, so the dishes will cool down so quickly.
In winter, the dishes on every dining table get cold very quickly, so you have to pay special attention when eating.
What's more, it's such a big scene as a palace banquet?
Therefore, everyone can understand that Your Majesty is helpless.
Moreover, His Majesty's mental state has become much more stable recently. You should not mess with him anymore because of these things.
Why bother?
Is Your Majesty in a good mood?
As for Zheng Meiren, who is pregnant again, because of her low background, even though she had a son before, she was only promoted to the status of beauty.
Now I'm pregnant again, and it's time like this.
His Majesty was so happy that he was promoted to concubine even before the child was born.
For this reason, I specially selected a few elderly people and promoted them to higher positions.
To make myself feel guilty, two of them were suggested by the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty has even forgotten what those people looked like.
The Queen Mother said that she has been with her for many years and has no children around her, so life is always a little lonely. It would be nice to be promoted to a higher position and make them happy.
It’s Chinese New Year.
The Empress Dowager said that Your Majesty does not want Mrs. Zheng to be too conspicuous.
So, I smiled and nodded in agreement.
During the annual banquet, the Queen Mother went through the motions and left quickly.
The old lady was not in good health, so it was just a formality and she didn't stay for long. She kept covering her mouth with a handkerchief and coughing from time to time.
The wind on New Year's Eve was a bit cold, and if you breathed in it even a little bit, it was very unfriendly to the Queen Mother and she could cough for a long time.
Therefore, she showed up to prove that she was in good health and reassured the courtiers, and then left the scene.
Her Majesty the Concubine did not bring her, but the Queen still had to bring her.
Even if...
The emperor and the empress are now in a bad mood.
They are the kind of people who dislike each other.
The Queen was probably almost crippled because she was so angry with His Majesty before.
Now I have a somewhat broken mentality.
The superficial work was done very carelessly.
His Majesty also disliked her and glared at her from time to time.
