Chapter 158: Say Goodbye to the Old and Welcome the New, with a Beautiful Woman by Your Side, It’s Another Year of the International Banquet [Thanks to Yi for the Reward]

Chapter 158 Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, with a beautiful lady by your side, another year of great banquet for all nations [Thanks to ~Yi~ for the reward]

After receiving Xu Changqing's Golden Carp Dragon Pill, Lu Mingyuan said goodbye to the Heavenly Master in White.

Then he went to the imperial dining room and asked for some minced meat and dumpling wrappers before returning to Qingzhu Hall.

Today is the New Year, and in a few days it will be New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve. Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Spring couplets are the door gods. Everything must be prepared in advance.

I felt very lonely during the Chinese New Year because I had not really integrated into the world and was afraid of doing anything.

If it weren't for the many memories of his previous life in his mind, he would almost forget that he didn't belong to this world.

The strange destiny in Xu Changqing's mouth was not exactly based on this. Although it had the special effect of "containing energy", more importantly, it was because the original birth date did not belong to him.

The gap before and after is naturally huge.

Several days passed.

Before New Year's Eve, Spring Festival couplets were written on New Year's Eve. The palace prepared a lot of Spring Festival couplets on red paper, one for the main entrance, one for the courtyard gate, one for the dormitory, and one for the side halls. The entire Qingzhu Palace needed exactly four pairs of Spring couplets.

Families get together and the monks from other places go home early.

Ziyun, Hongwan, Qi Muxue and Huo Hongling each wrote a Spring Festival couplet, which was based on a Spring Festival couplet booklet purchased from the market. They copied the content from it without any particular details.

Only Qi Muxue was different. She wrote two lines of poetry on it herself, with a green literary style, and the entire palace was blessed.

Only her handwriting was the most upright and graceful, while Huo Hongling's was vigorous and elegant, which was beyond Lu Mingyuan's expectation.

But if you think about it carefully, Huo Hongling is the daughter of Marquis Wu after all. Her tutoring must have been very good since she was a child. It is impossible that she is illiterate, and it is impossible that she cannot write. It is just that her handwriting is not bad, which is quite rare.

Hongwan's Spring Festival couplets were actually very well written. Looking back, she was the daughter of a famous aristocratic family, and her education was no worse than the previous two.

Ziyun volunteered to write two pieces, but they were not satisfactory. She was laughed at by Hongwan, and Ziyun was immediately discouraged. Fortunately, Qi Muxue comforted her by saying that the writing was good, and then Lu Mingyuan touched her head several times.

"That's it. Spring couplets are just for celebration. Don't worry too much about the quality of the calligraphy."

Only in this way did she soothe her battered heart.

Lu Mingyuan felt that his Spring Festival couplets were quite satisfactory, not bad or bad, but Qi Muxue criticized them for having many typos.

I guess it’s because I’m not used to ancient fonts yet.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Lu Mingyuan went to Yaoguang Palace to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. The palace maids served a large table of sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with meat and vegetables.

He is worthy of being the royal chef of the royal palace, and he has prepared the dishes to such an extent.

Last year, Lu Mingyuan did not go to Yaoguang Palace to celebrate the New Year. First, he kept a low profile and was afraid of the crowds. He was afraid that others would see the clues about the sixth prince, and he would be easily exposed during questioning. The second is loneliness, feeling that one does not belong here.

Now that her acting skills are becoming more and more proficient, her mother has become accustomed to herself, so she doesn’t have too many worries and still comes to join in the fun.

In addition to relatives from Qi Mansion and Wuhou Mansion, there were also many concubines who were familiar with my mother and came to have a meal.

Only the mother has such privileges, and other concubines don't dare to do the same.

Wang Zhaoyan sat on the most important seat, with her relatives on both sides sitting on both sides, and Lu Mingyuan and the two ladies on both sides of the back.

Before the banquet started, some New Year's greetings were said.

Then they began to feast.

During the process, Hongwan led all the maids to perform a dance. Qi Muxueyu couldn't help but also played the piano to accompany her.

Lu Mingyuan swore that he had never seen such a beautiful dance in his life.

The snow-white flowers are all legs!

There is a saying.

Singing and dancing bring peace, the country is peaceful and the people are safe?

This doesn't seem like a good thing to say.

For Lu Mingyuan, no matter what happens to Great Yan or the people, at least he just needs to be happy now.

Lu Mingyuan raised his glass and drank, feeling that there was nothing more satisfying than this in his life. Although he had lost his freedom, there was nothing more important than the happiness, safety and smoothness of his wife and relatives.

When he is in the cold palace, the people around him will be safer.

As long as he waits until the day when he can protect everyone, the cold palace will be in vain.

Princess Ning is the best example.

Lu Yunqing must be powerful enough now, but he still can only watch his wife die tragically in front of him.

Under the saints, everything is like floating clouds.

Lu Mingyuan admitted that he should avoid this situation from happening. Lu Yunqing was his good brother, but at the first time, he really didn't know that Xun Yu had made a plan.

Otherwise, I should give you a reminder.

Originally, he had the idea of ​​assisting Lu Yunqing to ascend the throne, but after knowing that the first thing this kid did after ascending the throne was to clear his name and get himself out of the cold palace, this idea suddenly disappeared.

Let nature take its course and rely on himself.

I will no longer participate.

In the latter half of the night, Lu Mingyuan thought it would be another night of sleeping together, but Qi Muxue and Huo Hongling both excused themselves because of Yue Hong, saying they wanted to spend time with their parents.

There was nothing he could do, he couldn't stop them from fulfilling their filial piety.

So he raised his glass and returned to Qingzhu Hall alone.

I think tomorrow will be another annual banquet for all nations.

All the countries were coming to court, and there was a grand meeting to slay demons. As the prince of a country, he wanted to participate in this meeting.

Is this year’s banquet of all nations comparable to the previous year?

After all, this year's Great Yan has been plagued by disasters, and the national strength is not as good as last year. The three states in the northwest have gone to war, and the amount of money spent every month is huge. The treasury is tight, and there are not many fireworks this year. The New Year is tight. My mother also told me that the concubines in the entire harem dare not spend money!

The demon-slaying event is not like the poetry conference. It covers a wider range. It is not just a conference, but also a statement of the various dynasties to the demon clan. If they fight, they must win. The younger generation must participate in the war, and the three religions will come to show their favor.

It's late at night.

When Lu Mingyuan passed by the next palace, he saw a beautiful woman in red, staring blankly at the window.

The winter moon is cold and the moonlight is like a flower.

The figure of Princess Zhao is so stunning under the moonlight.

It's bad. How could I forget my sister-in-law at the banquet tonight.

I actually let my sister-in-law guard the empty room?

Lu Mingyuan shook his head secretly. In those years in his previous life, didn't he sleep with many courtesans in the Jiaofangsi and brothels?

It is really a sin to let a beautiful sister-in-law go without any action.

Even though Lu Mingyuan had seen countless beauties, he took a deep breath when he saw Yang Yingchan's profile.

Beautiful, too beautiful.

Yang Yingchan's demeanor is incomparable to any woman.

For a moment, he had an idea.

He knocked on the door of the hall.

"Come in!"

Yang Yingchan's voice came.

He immediately entered the hall and walked into the main hall. The air was filled with the faint sandalwood. The room was dark, and only the bedroom was lit with candles.

With the weak candlelight, he walked to the bedroom room.

Only then did he see Yang Yingchan sitting alone next to the tea table, on the soft brocade couch, with the moving curves of a mature woman under her red gauze clothes.

Lu Mingyuan's eyes went from bottom to top, first a pair of white jade feet poking out of the Luo skirt, beautiful and round, with slender and delicate toes, exquisite and small, like the world's top jade porcelain, which made people unable to resist playing with it.

Then there is the curve of the legs, all the way up, one side of the buttocks is particularly plump, the waist is narrow, and there is no need to say more about the upper part. The figure is bumpy and the curves are graceful.

Lu Mingyuan used to think that novels were deceiving, but now he found that there are really such women.

But at this time, Yang Yingchan was holding a hairy white dog with a moon pattern on its forehead in her arms, which did not look like a common product.

When did she raise a big white dog?

"Sister-in-law, when did you raise a dog?"

Yang Yingchan held the dog and responded softly: "Recently, I saw that the palace was a little deserted, so I asked for a moon dog. It is not a rare breed. It grew up drinking the moon spring in Yuchanzhou and is more human."

Lu Mingyuan saw that the other party's hair was wet. It should be after taking a bath. The hair was wet and scattered, and the face was steamed by the hot water.

There is an unconcealable charm.

"Uncle, is there something wrong?" Yang Yingchan glanced at Lu Mingyuan, her tone was a little timid, and she obviously did not dare to offend him.

"Sister-in-law, am I a big devil? Am I that scary?" Lu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Yes."

Yang Yingchan's eyes sparkled, and she nodded seriously.

It was obviously icy outside, but there was a floor heating with black coal in the house, and there were clusters of stoves. The hall was still warm. She seemed a little hot, her cheeks were flushed, and a layer of fine sweat appeared. Under the candlelight, it was crystal clear and moist.

Her black hair spread on the soft pillow, with a kind of wanton beauty.

"Your Highness?"

Yang Yingchan called again, but found that Lu Mingyuan was standing there.

[Triggering "Zen Heart", Zun Zi Fate - Nine Apertures, Refining Degree Increased to 25%]

Lu Mingyuan finally reacted.

He was staring at it in a daze.
