On New Year¡¯s Eve, all the kings and relatives went into the palace to watch the New Year as usual.
Emperor Zhaohe held a banquet in Hongde Hall. The relatives of the kings and clans who came to the banquet could bring their relatives, but generally they brought their concubines and their legitimate children. Hongde Hall is located on the right side of the Star Building. Every New Year's Eve, the stars on the Star Building are shining brightly, complementing the brilliant lights of the palace on the ground.
In front of the Hongde Hall is a long pool. The water is clear and traceless. Thumb-sized goldentail fish swim freely at the bottom of the pool. There is a fountain in the center of the pool, reflecting the lights, reflecting the stars at the bottom of the pool.
It was still snowing on New Year's Eve. Li Ci got off the carriage at Prince Yong's Mansion and walked alone in the direction of Hongde Hall. She wore a large cloak with snow fox white edges, and a crimson cloak outside. She seemed to be huddled inside. Snowflakes fell on the cloak, and the surrounding palace walls blocked the wind that blew from time to time. Not so cold anymore.
Li Ci walked along the pool and arrived at the gate of Hongde Hall. He saw King An and King Yi and their wives and daughters. Li Ci didn't have much contact with them on weekdays, and they always had a strange aura towards her. It felt like she didn't like hearing what he said. They took refuge in King Xiang and King Zhou respectively, and they had nothing to say.
The few people met, and after greeting each other with courtesy, Li Ci walked into the palace.
"Xiaojiu came early." Princess Xining and her family had already sat down. Prince Consort Meng Xuanying still had a solemn expression on his face, but his son was making trouble for him, disturbing him.
Li Ci said hello and sat down next to him. This was a family banquet, a time when the Tian family communicated with each other. There were no fixed seating arrangements, so Li Ci sat wherever he pleased. When the two children saw Li Ci's arrival, they came up to her with joy and asked her to hug them. Li Ci held one in each hand, fulfilling their wishes.
"This year seems to be passing by very fast, and if you don't pay attention, it will be another year." Princess Xining sighed, and then smiled, "After tonight, everyone will be one year older."
Li Cidao: "Why do you need to say that, third sister? You will still have something to do in the future." At this time, Emperor Zhaohe had not yet appeared, and no one had come together. King Zhou and King Xiang, who had lifted the ban, had not been seen, so everyone Just chatting.
"Auntie, we are all one year older." Meng Lan and Meng Ting answered, then took Li Ci's hand to show her the new teeth they had just replaced.
"Yes, yes, when the Chinese New Year comes, my aunt will give you a big gift letter, okay?" Li Ci looked gentle, teasing his nieces and nephews, with a smile on his face. She turned to Princess Xining and said, "Third sister, these two little guys of yours have sunk a lot recently. I can hardly hold them anymore."
"When you are growing up, you eat more." When it came to the children, Princess Xining was full of maternal nature. She waved, and the two children got off Li Ci obediently and took care of them. His clothes were messy, "But you, seeing that you will be eighteen after the new year, your marriage is still not settled, and your father has not mentioned it."
Li Ci's eyes flashed. This topic has been mentioned a lot recently. She is about to turn eighteen. Apart from the underage Li Xiu and the young Li Yu, she is the only princess of the right age. She is urging marriage. There will inevitably be more topics.
She only said: "It's not urgent, it's not urgent." She took a sip of fruit wine to cover it up.
Princess Xining seemed to realize that Li Ci's marriage should not be taken lightly. Her status was too special. She was the only female prince with the right to inherit the throne among the princes and princesses. The marriage should be carefully considered and her father should be concerned about it. She There shouldn't be much to say. Instead of talking about it, she changed the subject.
"In a few months after the new year, you will be an aunt again." Princess Xining's face was filled with the glory of motherhood, her right hand gently held her invisible belly, and her two children were nestled beside her. I want to touch my sister.
Li Ci was startled, and turned to look at the belly covered by the wide dress. It was not noticeable at first, but upon closer inspection, a slight bulge could be seen, and it was indeed there.
"When did you get this?" Li Ci couldn't help but glance at Prince Consort Meng a few more times. Under this guy's serious expression, he seemed to be slightly relaxed. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the relationship between the third sister and her brother-in-law was so good, it was really rare.
??There are many princesses and consorts in the past dynasties who only maintained superficial affection when they were not in love. It is normal for the princess to drive her consort to live in the consort's mansion, and to raise a group of handsome men in the princess's mansion for her to have fun. Let's not talk about it from afar, let's just say that this is the case with Princess Yi'an, the sister of Emperor Zhaohe. This princess acted without scruples, and everyone in the clan shook their heads and sighed when they mentioned her. Fortunately, this aunt is not young anymore and has become much more settled over the years.
"It's April."
"It's a good thing, I will have another nephew or niece next year." Li Ci said with a smile.
&nbHe laughed and ran away.
The divisions in the Hongde Hall were particularly lively. The dancers of the Jiaofang were dancing gracefully to the sound of silk and bamboo. The wine was fragrant, and everyone's faces were slightly red with a hint of drunkenness. After the moon reached the zenith, some clan members got up and said goodbye. Princess Xining's family and Li Shan's family also had to say goodbye because they had pregnant women. Li Xiu took the little princess Li Yu back to sleep. The child was too young and was already sleepy.
In the end, the only ones left were Li Ci and King Zhou, King Xiang, King An, and King Yi. She glanced around and sighed to herself. After all, there was someone missing. For several years, her father had refused to let the fourth sister come back.
