LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 53 Palace Banquet
Xue Lei took his younger brothers and younger sister to kowtow to his parents and pay New Year greetings. Each of them took a small purse of New Year's money. There are gold and silver coins inside, even Yi'er is no exception.
Long Baoer, who has short legs and short hands, also followed the example of his brothers, but he was picked up by his uncle and aunt before his knees even touched the ground.
Long Baoer was also the only one who received a double purse.
Her two small purses were filled to the brim with gold and silver peanuts and beans. It's New Year's money, and it's also given to her as daily pocket money.
After paying New Year greetings, everyone gathered together to watch the New Year.
But before midnight, Long Baoer was already so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he lay in Xue Qingsong's arms and slept soundly.
Chang Chun wanted to take it over, but Xue Qingsong refused.
"We are all here. Long Baoer is sleeping alone in the house. He will be scared if he wakes up."
"That's the same reason. Let's take turns hugging each other."
The brothers were gearing up and waiting to take their sister to bed.
As a result, by the end of the vigil, they had not touched the corner of Long Baoer's clothes.
The next morning I will go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Holy Emperor and the empress.
The seven sons and Yi'er were all left at home, and the couple only brought Long Bao'er into the palace.
The brothers were very reluctant to leave her, "Why are you bringing my sister into the palace at such a young age?"
But there is nothing they can do about His Majesty's decree.
Long Baoer had a solid night's sleep. In the morning, she was full of energy and said hello to her uncle, aunt, and brothers, and ate a bowl of her favorite dumplings.
Dumplings with various fillings.
Then he combed his hair and dressed up again, put on brand new clothes, was carried by his uncle into the carriage, and went straight to the palace.
As soon as he got in the car, Long Baoer made a sound of surprise.
Because this newly built carriage is very spacious.
Xue Qingsong felt quite comfortable after sitting on it.
Compared with other carriages that have one side facing forward, the seats in this one are actually divided on both sides.
Long Baoer sat with his aunt, and General Xue sat opposite them.
In the middle of them is a table.
“It’s so spacious!”
"Spaciousness is nothing, the real secret is here!" Chang Chun smiled and directly separated the table.
Xue Qingsong and Long Baoer immediately opened their mouths in unison.
Because they didn't expect that the table could be opened.
After the desktop is opened, you can see that there is something similar to a table under the desktop.
There are not only some food inside, but also teapots and tea bowls.
Changchun took out the teapot and teacup and placed them on the table.
"The carriage bumped, won't it fall?"
"No." Chang Chun pointed the bottom of the cup toward Xue Qingsong, "When the teacup and teapot were fired, they were filled with magnets, and the tabletop was made of iron."
"So that's it. The craftsman is really ingenious." Xue Qingsong praised, "It won't fall off even if it's bumpy."
Chang Chun looked at the confused Long Bao'er and nodded towards the place near her feet, "Long Bao'er put your feet here."
Long Baoer was very obedient. The little boots she wore were made of deerskin with a layer of cotton cushion inside.
This was made by Chang Chun after Long Baoer came into existence. However, Long Baoer was thinner than she expected, so the shoes were much bigger.
It took a few days to do it first, so now the little boots are filled with cotton pads.
That's good, at least it's warmer.
But when Long Bao'er stuffed her little feet into the place pointed by her aunt's finger for a moment, she felt a flow of heat slowly filling her body through the soles of her feet.
"What's going on?" Xue Qingsong asked curiously when he saw Long Baoer's eyes widening.
"It's warm, your feet are warm!" Long Baoer's ability to express was limited.
Xue Qingsong understood immediately, reached out and touched it, "Ouch!"
He pulled his hand back and blew on it, "Is there charcoal fire in this?"
Chang Chun nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, you won't be able to burn Long Bao'er."
"Yes. My mother-in-law is thoughtful."
"Of course, the tea and snacks inside will always be hot."
It was icy and snowy outside, but it was warm inside the carriage. Long Baoer's little feet were no longer as cold and sore as they were at Ji's house.
The Xue family's carriage could only stop outside the palace gate, and they would have to walk the rest of the way by themselves.
General Xue, a tall soldier, wrapped Long Baoer tightly in his cloak, held him in his arms and walked forward quickly.
Next to her, Chang Chun is slightly taller than an ordinary woman. She is dressed in red with white fur trimming, making her dressed up beautiful and dignified.
The little cloak on Long Baoer's body is the same as Chang Chun's. Mrs. Chang had this made by someone else. What kind of parent-child outfit is this?
It's just that this cloak looks beautiful when worn on Chang Chun, but it only looks cute when worn on Long Baoer.
Naturally, the people who came to the palace at this time were not only the Xue family, but also other families. The ministers and wives above the fourth rank in the capital are all expected to enter the palace.
Everyone greeted Xue Qingsong and Chang Chun and wished them a happy new year. At the same time, they all glanced at Long Baoer and knew that this little girl must be the niece that General Xue had found before.
Some people who are well-informed also know that the couple who abused this little girl a few days ago were pushed out and beheaded.
Although the sentence given to Ji Zhong's head wife was exile, the decision whether to kill her or not was nothing more than the Holy Sage's words.
The Holy Spirit has said: Since there is no humanity, there is no better way to stay in this world.
The two were pushed out and chopped directly.
As for the servants of the Ji family, they all got their due end whether they were killed or exiled according to the laws they violated.
In response, some people in the DPRK who knew the details shouted: He deserves what he deserves.
The ministers in the DPRK have different political parties, some are loyal and some are traitorous, but everyone looks down upon those who abuse children.
The emperor and the empress accepted the kneeling ceremony of the courtiers and wives separately. So when they arrived at the separation place, Xue Qingsong reluctantly handed Long Baoer over to his wife Chang Chun.
When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Chang Chun put Long Baoer down and took her little hand to walk inside.
Chang Chun is a first-grade imperial concubine, and there are not many people who can be ranked in front of her.
Mainly some princesses, princesses, wives of princes and marquises.
But the princess of this dynasty is a rare thing. The previous eldest princess was the aunt of the current Holy Emperor. She is too old to do such activities anymore.
In addition, there is a princess who is also forty years old. She has been married far away and cannot come back.
After that, there are the ladies of the country and the marquises, that is, there are seven or eight of them.
Madam Chang was also among them. She brought her eldest daughter-in-law Ning into the palace with her. As for Cao, she was not qualified yet.
After seeing Chang Chun and Long Baoer, the old lady and Ning turned around and waved to her.
Long Baoer wanted to rush over when she saw it, but Chang Chun held her back and said in her ear, "Long Baoer, we are not going there. Do you remember what my aunt told you about what we are going to do later?"
