Meng Cimo and Jiang Yixi found it difficult to accept the old man's words, so they lowered their heads and remained silent.

They were silent for a long time, and the old man said, "I don't want to see those two people, otherwise I can't help but kill one and then the other. I'm going to the village to calm down for a few days, and I happen to be planning something there."

Considering that his body and bones have always been very good, it is difficult to say that he is ill. Knowing that there is a possibility, Fu and Zhao Hu cannot be aware that they have suspicions.

The old man said again, "Forget it, I just heard from Cimo that an old subordinate who had followed me for many years in Yongcheng died, and I feel sad. I can't let everyone accompany me to spend the New Year. Now I'm going to the outer courtyard to rest.

Go to Zhuangzi tomorrow."

This is the only excuse I can find.

Jiang Yixi went to the couch in the west room to take a rest, while Meng Cimo accompanied the old man to the study room in the outer courtyard to rest.

At the beginning of Shenshi, people came to Fu'an Hall one after another.

Hearing that the old man was in a bad mood, Cheng Guogong, Meng Ciyu and his son, the second master and his two sons all went to the outer courtyard.

The old man only kept Meng Ciyue, who was in the second room, and sent the others back to Fu'an Hall to have the family reunion dinner with the old lady.

Because of the old man’s incident, we didn’t have a good meal at the reunion dinner.

After the meal, the old lady and the elders gave red envelopes to the younger ones. Several adult men went to the outer courtyard to watch the New Year, while the women and children went back to their respective courtyards.

There was light snow falling in the sky again, the wind was howling, and the lanterns on the trees and corridors were swaying in the wind.

Jiang Yixi lay on the bed, listening to the sound of the strong wind blowing against the window paper, and slept extremely peacefully.

The direction is becoming clearer and clearer...

Meng Cimo didn't return to Fushengju until early in the morning.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the royal family, officials of third rank and above and their family members, as well as those named by the emperor and the queen mother, must enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

Before dawn, Cheng Guogong, Meng Cimo, Meng Ciyu, Fu Shi, Jiang Yixi and Meng Hua took a car to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

The old man didn't want to see Meng Daoming and Mrs. Fu, so he took Meng Ciyue alone. After leaving the palace, he went directly to Mengjiazhuang.

The old lady's health has been poor, especially in autumn and winter, so the Queen Mother gave her a favor and did not have to enter the palace on the first day of the new year.

Every year, Mrs. Fu would take Meng Hua to the palace to pay New Year greetings, and Meng Ciyu was invited there by name by the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

This was also the first time Jiang Yixi entered the palace to see the Queen Mother in her previous life.

Men and women went to two palace gates, men went to pay homage to the emperor, and women went to pay homage to the queen mother.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Jiang Yixi was helped out of the car by Linxiang, and saw Mrs. Zheng Xie not far away waving to her.

There were so many people today that no servants were allowed to follow. Meng Cimo was worried about Jiang Yixi, so he privately begged Zheng Yu to let his mother, Xie, enter the palace with Jiang Yixi. The Zheng family knew that Meng Cimo and Fu didn't get along, so they naturally agreed.

.

Jiang Yixi walked over with a smile and helped Mrs. Zheng to follow the flow of people towards Cining Palace.

Meng Hua rolled his eyes and helped Fu to the front.

Mrs. Zheng glanced up and down at Jiang Yixi. Although she was covered with a big cloak, she could still tell that her belly was not small.

She smiled and said, "With such a big belly, people have become fat. It's good to be fat. If the mother is fat, the child will be fat, so it will be easier to give birth to a child."

Jiang Yixi smiled and asked, "Where are Tingting and Jingjing?"

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Tingting went with the eldest princess. Jingjing is timid and doesn't want to come to such an occasion."

Mrs. Zheng knew all the ladies who came, and kept saying hello to them. Then she introduced Jiang Yixi, "Prince Meng's little wife."

Jiang Yixi said hello to those she knew, and smiled to those she didn't know.

He's staff relations are better, and he talks and laughs with people around him from time to time.

When we arrived at Cining Palace, there were many people standing outside.

There was still light snow falling in the sky, but almost everyone was wearing thick cloaks, and coupled with the large number of people and nervousness, they didn't feel cold. Of course, there was nothing that could be done about the cold.

Everyone entered the palace in an orderly manner, kowtowed to the Empress Dowager, said a few words, and came out in half a quarter of an hour. There were also those who were particularly fond of the Empress Dowager, holding hands and talking, or even leaving meals. These people were generally limited to the clan, or the royal family wanted to show special favor.

of.

Fu and Meng Hua went in first but didn't come out. The people behind went in and came out again.

This shows that Fu's mother and daughter were left to talk by the Queen Mother.

The queue reached Jiang Yixi and Mrs. Zheng, and they walked towards the main hall hand in hand.

At the entrance of the main hall, there are little maids who help carry cloaks. When you enter, take off your cloaks and give them to them, revealing your phoenix crown and harem, and bring them back when you leave.

Earth dragons and charcoal basins were burned in the main hall, which was as warm as spring.

There is an old lady sitting on the Arhat bed directly in front. The old lady is wearing a bright yellow palace dress, with white hair and a phoenix crown. She seems to be smiling, but she is quite majestic.

This is Queen Mother Xia.

There were two rows of people sitting on both sides, I don't know who they were.

A palace servant first introduced the Queen Mother to Xia, "To the Queen Mother, this is Mrs. Zheng Xie from the Zheng Shaobao Mansion, and this is the Jiang family from the Chengguo Duke's Mansion."

Mrs. Zheng and Jiang Yixi came to the old lady with their eyes lowered, knelt on the Pu Tuan and kowtowed three times, and said, "I respectfully wish the Queen Mother Jin An and wish the Queen Mother a thousand years."

Empress Dowager Xia recognized Mrs. Zheng and said with a smile, "Get up." She looked at Jiang Yixi again, her smile became even brighter, "Are you a good handkerchief for Little Zhenbao to give to little girl Jiang? Good child, come closer and let the Ai family take a look."

Jiang Yixi stepped forward, and Queen Mother Xia took her hand and looked up and down several times, and said with a smile, "You are blessed when you look at this face. She looks very much like a little treasure."

A palace concubine on the side laughed and said, "Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. It's because they look alike that they can play well."

Jiang Yixi pursed her lips and smiled.

She knew very well that she couldn't talk too much in this kind of situation, as talking too much would lead to mistakes. What's more, there were Concubine Zhao and Princess Shengping. Concubine Zhao and Princess Fu were in the same group, and Shengping and Li Zhenbao couldn't deal with each other.

A crisp voice said, "Grandma Huang, she looks a bit like Li Zhenbao, and especially looks like Zheng Tingting."

She didn't dare to say that Jiang Yixi was not like Li Zhenbao at all, but she was a little bit similar. Grandma Zheng was standing behind the eldest princess of Yichang. She found that Jiang Yixi looked a little like Zheng Tingting, so she pulled her out. In order to distinguish Li Zhenbao, she also said

Especially like.

The person speaking was of course Princess Shengping Li Xi, who had the least dealings with Li Zhenbao.

Empress Dowager Xia particularly disliked the reckless and fast-talking Li Xi, and she couldn't bear to scold her in front of everyone, so she frowned.

Concubine Zhao was angry that her daughter had upset the Queen Mother again, so she quickly smiled and said, "Xi'er is right, this Jiang family is really a bit like Tingting."

Her words immediately attracted the Queen Mother's attention. She glanced at Jiang Yixi twice, then at Zheng Tingting, and said with a smile, "Oh, it does look a bit similar."

The eldest princess of Yichang smiled happily, "No wonder I felt that little girl Jiang was kind-hearted when I first saw her. She looks a bit like Tingting. They play well together. This is fate."

Jiang Yixi was extremely angry. Li Zhenbao was right, this Shengping was really the most annoying female starling in the world.

She glanced at Zheng Tingting who was behind the eldest princess of Yichang, and quickly turned her eyes around He's face. He's face was extremely expressionless, and she looked at Jiang Yixi blankly.

Jiang Yixi immediately pulled Mrs. Zheng and smiled and said, "Yes, some people say that I look similar to Mrs. Zheng." If you like Chunman Jinghua, please bookmark it: (https://www.myxls.net) Chunman Jinghua Search Novel Network updates at full speed
