Cai Rong rubbed his eyes and turned over, but he still reached out his hand, put it on Li Xingchen's wrist in a daze, and pinched his pulse.
There's nothing wrong with him, it's probably just that someone scolded him behind his back. Look at the people sleeping in various places in Nuanxiang Pavilion. Most likely, it was the sisters who were left in Jiankang Mansion who were saying this behind his back.
Men are so stupid that they have to live in separate places during the Chinese New Year.
Li Xingchen held Cai Rong's hand, rubbed it gently, murmured twice, and fell asleep again.
Cai Rong leaned on his arm, feeling the man's strong heartbeat, but she was very conscious.
"Sister Rong, it's not good to eat secretly in the morning." Yuan Leshan didn't know when he woke up, he held his chin and looked at Cai Rong.
Cai Rongqiao blushed slightly and wanted to say no, but Li Xingchen's arms had already wrapped around her waist under the quilt. It was impossible for Cai Rong to turn over and then refuse to admit it.
be cheated.
Yu Chizhen also woke up, rubbed her eyes and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Lexhang smiled and said: "You had Your Majesty all to yourself last night, but now Sister Rong can't bear it anymore."
Yu Chizhen didn't react and opened her mouth. She didn't know whether she should agree with Yuan Lexhang. When she thought about her saying that she had His Majesty all to herself, her pretty face turned slightly red and she wanted to shrink directly into the quilt.
Night vigil is the most important thing during the New Year, and this is also true for the royal family.
There is only one person named Your Majesty. Once you sit there, there are only two people on the left and right who can get close to Your Majesty.
With so many sisters, it would be inappropriate for anyone to sit on the left or right side of His Majesty, and it stands to reason that the vigil should be a very solemn matter. Of course, you can eat, drink and have fun, but if you follow His Majesty, you may not be able to keep them all, and you will have to be passive at that time.
On the contrary, it will make the other sisters laugh, so it is better to keep a safe distance from His Majesty, and if you want to express your thoughts, wait until you are alone.
So he pushed around and finally pushed Yuchizhen over.
Didn't Your Majesty always use Yu Chizhen's young age as an excuse to stay away from others? Then just hold her and sleep obediently.
In addition, Princess Jiangling, who was tired after playing all day, was on the other side, and Li Xingchen almost completely turned into a nanny to look after the children overnight.
Especially his "sinister" face couldn't be shown in front of his good daughter, so in the end he ended up playing chess, chatting, and eating snacks with the concubines opposite him. Li Xingchen here could only give his daughter
Tell bedtime stories.
If Yu Chizhen hadn't been yawning next to him, Li Xingchen would have fallen asleep long ago.
We agreed to keep a vigil, but why did it end up being just for you to play while I take care of the children?
How come I am reduced to the level of a nanny, even though I am a noble person?
However, looking at his daughter's beautiful appearance, Li Xingchen endured the boredom and sleepiness and had to read the bedtime story.
In the end, Xiao Xiang couldn't stand it any longer and asked someone to take her sleeping daughter away. Only then did Li Xingchen show off his style as the head of the family. He lifted up a big quilt and rushed to the bed opposite with Yu Chizhen.
.
Let you have a good time eating, drinking and having fun across the street, now everyone has to be taken care of!
However, His Majesty was already so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, so after making a fuss for a while, he couldn't help but fall asleep. It wasn't until he woke up in the morning that the last person he held in his arms was Yu Chizhen. As for His Majesty, he really didn't
It’s not clear who had such evil thoughts that he just hugged the youngest baby to sleep, or who pushed Yu Chizhen over.
"Everyone, please get up, it's getting late." Li Xingchen greeted, "Look at how well you all slept, with your hair disheveled and tidied up. In the evening, you will have a banquet with all the officials and their families. If the Queen is not here, you can't embarrass me."
On the evening of the first day of the New Year, officials are invited to a banquet according to the rules, which is the Zhengdan ceremony.
"I know -" Xiao Xiang agreed in a long voice, put on his shoes and went to find his daughter. He didn't know whether he really knew or just casually dealt with it.
The Queen is not here, and the Concubine Xian is not here either. Concubine Shu is already the highest seated person present. Of course, she will be responsible for receiving the officials and their families at the Zhengdan Ceremony.
Of course, with the help of Yang Lihua, Chen Yueyi and other older concubines, Xiao Xiang actually doesn't have to worry too much. Moreover, there are not many family members of the officials in Luoyang now, and most of them are the family members of officials below the rank of minister. After all, Luoyang officials
The people who drive are all ministers from various ministries, and there are almost no ministers, so there is no need to pay much attention to etiquette.
"Xiang'er, don't take it lightly." Li Xingchen ordered, "There should be no lack of etiquette."
Xiao Xiang paused and turned back to look at Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen said very solemnly.
Xiao Xiang roughly understood what Li Xingchen meant. Originally, Luoyang was just the emperor's presence. Since it is called "Xingzai", it means keeping everything simple. This is also the fact. Since Li Xingchen went north, there have been almost no sacrifices and the frequency of court meetings is also very low.
Low, it will never be possible to do it at regular intervals like in Jiankang Mansion, and there will be no rules. Only when major events occur that require gathering of ministers to brainstorm, the court meeting will be held.
Even decisions such as marching to Hedong were made in the Imperial Study Room, and only a few people really helped His Majesty in his decision-making.
And now His Majesty is going to solemnly hold this year's Zhengdan Ceremony, which obviously wants to send a different signal.
It is very likely that Luoyang will transform into the capital of the Han Dynasty, as many rumors say.
Although times are changing rapidly, and people have consciously or unconsciously removed some red tape to improve the pace and efficiency of work, no one can deny that etiquette is still a very important thing for a country. Farming, warfare and sacrifices are
Even now, this sentence cannot be wrong about the foundation of the country.
Rather than focusing on this year's Zhengdan Ceremony, Li Xingchen values the message he can convey through the Zhengdan Ceremony.
Yang Lihua and Chen Yueyi both stood up. Originally, they were assisting Xiao Xiang in these matters. At this time, His Majesty said it seriously, and they couldn't just laugh it off.
"Put your clothes in order and wear more clothes. It's cold outside." Li Xingchen asked.
Xiao Xiang raised his hand and agreed.
Yang Lihua and the others did not dare to neglect when they arrived, and bowed to Li Xingchen before retreating.
"This Xiang'er, it's like he hasn't grown up yet." Li Xingchen snorted.
Chen Xuanhua didn't know when he came to Li Xingchen's side and said with a smile: "In the harem, His Majesty's favorite is the Queen, but the one he loves the most is definitely Concubine Shu. This is not a secret. They must have been spoiled by Your Majesty.
.”
"I think you are spoiled." Li Xingchen glanced at her.
Chen Xuanhua stuck out his tongue, as if to say, it's nothing.
