    The end of the year is always more lively.  This year, when Xiao Junchi was at Prince Jinling's Mansion, everything was handled more carefully.

    Logically speaking, the internal affairs of this palace must be left to Jiang Lingzhou, who is Princess Jingling.  But Aunt Lan was used to it, so Xiao Junchi left the New Year matters to Aunt Lan to take care of. She only said that the purchase list must be presented to the princess for her review.

    Jiang Lingzhou grew up in the palace of Huating since she was a child. She learned music and chess, and knew calligraphy and painting. She really couldn't do it if she was asked to set the abacus or settle accounts.  In Bai Lu's words, Princess Heyang is a "fairy daughter who is not touched by fireworks" and cannot do these jobs that are full of the smell of copper.

    Everyone has their own strengths. Jiang Lingzhou was not good at this. He happened to be happy and relaxed and found other things to do.

    She and Song Caiwei cut some little figures out of gold foil, threaded them with colorful threads, and hung them on the bat-patterned screen with four folds of loose leaf.  When the candlelight shines on it, it will appear golden and bright.

    Jiang Lingzhou didn¡¯t do this kind of work very much in the past, and his hands were a bit clumsy. Even when he used scissors, the people he cut out looked strange.  Song Caiwei, on the other hand, is able to cut out vivid human figures with her skillful hands without looking at the object, which is amazing.  When Jiang Lingzhou asked, she pursed her lips and replied with a smile: "I do it every year, practice makes perfect."

    Song Caiwei also said that there are many Di people in Jinling County, so it is not uncommon to have strange habits during the New Year.  These Di people did not celebrate the New Year at all, but they just stayed in Jingling for a long time and were more or less assimilated by the Han people, so they also began to celebrate the New Year.  For example, there are people dancing around the sheep's head in the middle of the night, and there are people holding torches to burn old clothes, which is very strange.

    Come and go, it¡¯s a little New Year¡¯s Eve.

    On the day of the New Year¡¯s Eve, Aunt Lan ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of food.  The table setting was very interesting, half of it was delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the other half was plain dishes.  The couple Jiang Lingzhou and Xiao Junchi sat at the same table for the first time.

    "Your Majesty usually has a lighter taste," Aunt Lan explained to Jiang Lingzhou what happened to half the table of plain side dishes: "Because it is the New Year, I added some oil and water. When it comes to food, Your Majesty never likes to spend money."

    Jiang Lingzhou nodded.

    It seems that Xiao Junchi was used to eating whole grains and whole grains in the military tent, and he could no longer eat this carefully cooked, large fish and meat food.

    "However, he treated Jiang Lingzhou very well and didn't mind her squandering food at all. He always ordered the small kitchen to cook cooked food at all times, just for fear that she would be hungry.  It's so contradictory, I don't know whether to praise him or to scold him.

    Fu Hui also came to the palace and brought a jar of pepper wine.

    "Your Majesty doesn't drink, so I will give this altar of pepper wine to Jingling Mansion." Fu Hui handed the sealed wine jar to Aunt Lan and took a seat in the warm hall.  It snowed again outside the house, and his hair was covered with snowflakes.

    "Zishan, you came at the right time." Xiao Junchi pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, "It's boring for you to be alone at home during the Chinese New Year, so why don't you take a seat."

    Fu Hui smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that I have to go somewhere now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to eat with you."

    The place he was going to, even if he didn¡¯t want to know it, must be Song Caiwei¡¯s place.  Song Caiwei has no parents, and her brother lives in Taiyan; and Fu Hui also looks relaxed and carefree, so it makes sense for the two of them to be companions.

    After Fu Hui left, Jiang Lingzhou glanced at the food on the table and asked, "Your Majesty, can't you drink?"

    Xiao Junchi was picking vegetables. Hearing this, he almost put a handful of spring vegetables into the soup.  He smiled and said, "Don't you know, Princess? Drinking is one of the five precepts of Buddhism."

    Jiang Lingzhou was speechless after hearing this - who doesn't know that Buddhism abstains from drinking?

    ¡°It¡¯s just that her prince doesn¡¯t really look religious, he¡¯s very hypocritical.  Why did you become more pious when it came to drinking?

    The hall was extremely warm. Xiao Junchi wore a crow-blue shirt with small sleeves and looked casual.  He didn't want to talk about drinking anymore, so he purified his hands in the water cup and said wrongly, "This is the first time I won't celebrate the New Year in the palace."

    Jiang Lingzhou, who was opposite him, said: "I am the same."

    Xiao Junchi was stunned, and suddenly she remembered that the Princess of Heyang in front of her was the most beloved Princess of Heyang in Da Qi. She was held in the palm of Emperor Qi's hand and it hurt. She was afraid that every year during the Chinese New Year, she would steal the show at the palace banquet.  , more beautiful than any other.

    "Thank you for your hard work, Princess. You have to eat these shabby things in this small mansion with me." Xiao Junchi raised his eyebrows and said, "But this way, it saves the effort of going to the palace to meet the saint. I have to go there every year.  It will be very troublesome to go to the palace to see His Majesty."

    Jiang Lingzhou was a little worried and asked: "Is it okay if I don't see your Majesty?"

    She remembered that when she was not yet married, during the Chinese New Year, princes, generals and ministers from all over the world would return to Huating to present New Year gifts to her father and then attend the ceremony together.??Fang stayed for three nights, and left by herself on the fourth night, disappearing when she woke up in the morning.

    Jiang Lingzhou was instructing the maid to move things and was very busy.  After hearing this, he replied: "Everyone has his destiny, let him go."

    She was still a little worried about Song Caiwei and looked back a few more times.  When Xiao Junchi saw him, he said, "Don't worry, Princess, she will come back in the future. My husband has a fiefdom here, and when the Princess has children, she will go back to Jingling to raise them."

    Jiang Lingzhou:

    This guy is thinking too far!  !

    After a long time, a few people finally packed up and got on the carriage.  Aunt Lan is old and in poor health, so she rides in a car alone.  Fu Hui also owns a carriage, but he is more accustomed to riding, and so is Xiao Junchi.

    The carriage was extremely spacious and covered with honeysuckle-tangled velvet blankets for warmth.  When you feel tired or sleepy, you can fall asleep in the carriage.  It's just that although the carriage is big, it is not as good as the bed. It is bumpy and makes Jiang Lingzhou feel a little uncomfortable.

    Not long after she set off, she heard a "knocking" sound, which was someone knocking on the wall of the car.

    Jiang Lingzhou lifted the car curtain and asked, "What's the matter?"

    "Didn't the princess send a letter before?" Xiao Junchi pulled the reins and handed the letter over with one hand: "I received a reply from Prince Qi this morning. Princess, please watch it to relieve your boredom on the way." After Jiang Lingzhou received it,  After receiving the letter, Xiao Junchi added: "My husband has never opened this letter, so the princess can rest assured."

    "I would like to thank the prince." Jiang Lingzhou smiled and then retreated into the warm carriage.

    There were indeed no signs of the envelope being opened. She stared at the handwriting belonging to her brother Jiang Yanran on the envelope and smiled.

    This is the first time I have heard from my family since I married into the Wei Kingdom.

    She pressed the letter against her chest for a while, then carefully opened the seal.  She was afraid of tearing the letter paper when cutting and sealing it, so she moved very cautiously.  Finally, I carefully took out the thin letter paper and laid it in front of my eyes.

    ¡ª¡ªMy sister, Lingzhou, everything is safe in Huating.  The Queen Mother is getting better and better; her second sister has been married, and her husband-in-law is the second son of the Zhao family.  The mother got the letter and missed her sister very much.

    A few words are all words of farewell.

    But when it came to the last sentence, the writing suddenly changed¡ª¡ª

    My father wanted to get Youyan from Xiao Junchi to the five towns in the north. My brother was afraid that his father's eagerness to pursue a career would lead to a mistake that would be hard to come back from.  Please take care of yourself, little sister, and put your own safety first in everything.

    ¡ª¡ªPlease take care of yourself, little sister, and put your own safety first in everything.

    When Jiang Lingzhou read this, his fingers holding the letter couldn't help but tremble slightly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
