Qu Weizhen loved An'an the most, but she couldn't see Niu Niu bullying her, so she stopped her and said, "Master Niu Niu, I'll take you to play in the garden later."

Niuniu exploded in an instant, jumped up and said: "I already have a big name, if you want to call me Shigu, don't add Niuniu, you can still call me Shigu Yixin."

Qu Weizhen looked serious, "I still think Aunt Niuniu sounds better."

Niuniu stomped her feet, turned around and complained to Li Baolu, "Sister-in-law, your apprentice bullied me."

Li Baolu walked in with An An in his arms, and said with a smile, "I don't care about your children, you can handle it yourself."

"I'm not a child, I've grown up," Niu Niu said displeased, "I already have a big name, and I've already gone to the academy, so I'm an adult."

Qu Weizhen looked at her and smiled, "Then you are younger than me."

Niuniu snorted, pointed at her and said, "Do you ever talk to elders like this? Call me Shigu."

Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi were amused in their hearts, but they still put their hands together and called a teacher.

Satisfied, Niuniu raised her head and turned around to lead the way.

He Zipei arranged the main room of the main house. The room was warmed by burning earth dragons and covered with blankets.

As soon as An An entered the room, she struggled to the ground with a "wow", and crawled quickly on the carpet. He Zipei put a lot of brightly colored toys on the soft couch.

An An climbed directly to the side of the soft couch, then stood up with the couch, fell on the couch and climbed up vigorously, directly pulling all the toys on the couch into her arms.

Li Baolu looked at it for a while and was speechless. Since the child knew how to crawl, his movements became smoother and smoother.

Qin Xinfang and He Zipei watched happily, "An An is more lively."

"Lively is good, lively is healthy." He Zipei reached out and touched An An's little head, and said with a smile: "Auntie made you a lot of milk sticks, will you eat them later?"

An An raised her small face, grinned at her father, and the saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth, and she quickly sucked it up a few times.

He Zipei was amused, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "It's about to grow new teeth."

Qin Xinfang and Bai Yitang Gu Jingyun found a corner to sit down and talk, Qin Wenyin stayed and watched the children, Li Baolu followed He Zipei to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

He Zipei and Li Baolu have the same mother and daughter love, and it is difficult to ask Qin Wenyin many things, but Li Baolu is easy to ask. When it comes to Li Baolu, Qin Wenyin is difficult to ask, but there is no obstacle for her to speak.

"Chunxi, An An is about to turn one year old, when are you going to have a second child?"

"Brother Jingyun said that when An'an is older, it is best to have another one after she is three years old."

He Zipei was a little disappointed, but she also knew that no one could change the decision made by her nephew. She whispered, "That's good, it's better for you and An An. By the way, did your master tell you that next year they will stay?" In Beijing, or go out again?"

Li Baolu coughed lightly and said, "Master seems to want to take mother-in-law to Sichuan."

"Going to Shuzhong?" He Zipei paused, "Didn't they go there?"

"This time it's not just for going to Yazhou, but for sightseeing. The scenery in Sichuan and Shu is peerless, so..."

He Zipei twitched the corners of his mouth, "They really want to conquer every boundary in Dachu?"

Li Baolu smiled and said: "You just let them go. My master is not a person who can sit still. Since my mother has such a great wish, it is better to let her fulfill it. Life is short, and you must always follow your heart and do something for yourself." What I want to do. When I think of Dayan, I will naturally settle down after knowing the destiny. At that time, I can look back on my life."

He Zipei was startled, then looked at her with a relieved smile and said, "That's all you can think about, it doesn't matter, as long as you are happy, your uncle and I don't care about you."

Li Baolu hugged her arm and said, "That's not okay. We still point to uncle and aunt to take care of us. After all, there are many things that brother Jing Yun and I don't understand. Mother and master often go out, except you and uncle, We have no one to rely on."

"Just coax us." He Zipei glanced at her, but he was really happy in his heart.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the capital was always eaten early, and the sun was just setting in the west, and the maids brought the food into the main room. He Zipei, Qin Wenyin and Li Baolu personally brought the food on the tray and arranged it according to the rules.

After setting the bowls and chopsticks, and waiting for the things to be put away, Qin Xinfang sat down on the first seat, and He Zipei sat beside him.

Bai Yitang and Gu Jingyun sat at Qin Xinfang's lower left and He Zipei's lower right according to their rank.

An An was also arranged to sit next to Li Baolu, occupying a small seat, just so the four children sat together.

This year there is no need to go to the palace to have a banquet. This is because the two of them are having New Year's Eve dinner at this time. The children all find it very novel, and they gather together to wink and wink, and are very happy.

Qin Xinfang picked up the chopsticks and caught the fish with chopsticks, and then said with a smile: "Move the chopsticks, let's go play when we are full, and watch the night later."

Chinese New Year is all about eating, drinking, having fun, the Qin and Gu families are like this, and so is the palace.

If there is no palace banquet, the royal family will have a reunion dinner by themselves, which is considered a family banquet.

This is also the emperor's last day as emperor, and tomorrow, he will change from emperor to emperor.

The emperor's feelings are very complicated. There is a sense of relief that there are successors, but also a feeling of unloading and reluctance. But no matter how complicated it is, he has to try his best to ignore the reluctance in his heart and continue walking according to his own choice.

The prince raised his wine glass and knelt down to the emperor, his eyes were slightly red, and said: "Father, my son wishes you a long and healthy life, and everything goes well."

The emperor's face was also a little excited, and he drank the wine in one gulp. He nodded with red eyes, "I will hand over the Great Chu to you. Don't let down the expectations of your ancestors and be a benevolent king."

The prince kowtowed and said, "Yes!"

The concubines stared at His Highness the Crown Prince kneeling in the hall complicatedly. After tomorrow, he will be the new emperor, and all of them will become concubines.

This New Year's Eve is extremely short for some people, while it is extremely long for some people.

But no matter how others feel, the speed of time is actually the same. It keeps moving forward. No matter how complicated human senses are, the first day of the first lunar month comes quietly in the dark, and the big clock in the palace is ringing The joint efforts of people make a crash after another.

The sound resounded through the sky, and the people inside and outside the capital heard the bell, and the caring people sighed in their hearts, "It's finally here."

The ordinary people at the foot of the emperor are purely happy, take out firecrackers and light them, and greet the arrival of the new year with crackling, and those with rich assets will light fireworks for fun.

After setting off the firecrackers and admiring the fireworks, ordinary people went back to their rooms to sleep in peace.

They were terribly sleepy when they were on watch.

But some adults in the inner city can't sleep, the sky is about to dawn, and once the morning light appears, the sky will change.

Almost when the fireworks slowly stopped, the imperial guards of the capital were dispatched all over the city, encircling the inner city and the imperial city, almost every ten steps.

The officials rushing to the court saw these imperial guards as soon as they went out. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.

Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun didn't even raise their eyebrows when they saw these heavily guarded guards, and they got into the carriage and went to the palace.

This is also one of the reasons why the two of them have a New Year's Eve vigil together.

The change of the old and the new is usually the beginning of turmoil. Even if the emperor is willing to take the Zen throne, even if the prince's accession to the throne is justified, and there is no danger in the court, some precautions should be taken.

Outside there is the imperial guard led by Wan Peng, and inside there are Baolu and Bai Yunfei. As long as someone does not target the Qin family and mobilize a large army to surround them, they will be safe and sound.

And Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun can also enter the palace with peace of mind.

Like Qin Xinfang, there are quite a few officials who have this concern, so they sent their family members away early, either back to their hometown, or to the Zhuangzi, so many adults are not reunited at home this year.

As long as they can spend a few days safely, there will be plenty of opportunities for reunion in the future.

Hundreds of officials gathered from various palace gates to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Instead of entering the hall, they lined up outside the hall according to their ranks, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and prince.

As soon as Gu Jingyun stood still, the servant hurried forward to look for him, "Master Gu, Minister Ouyang is here to invite you."

Gu Jingyun glanced but did not see Ouyang Shangshu, so he knew that he had gone to the apse, nodded slightly to Qin Xinfang who was looking over, and walked away with the servant.

The servant lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "Shangshu Ouyang is right next to His Majesty, and the ceremonial officer at the prince's side still has a little lack of etiquette, please go and give some pointers, Mr. Gu."

Gu Jingyun followed the servant quickly to the apse, only to find that the crown prince's tribute officer had changed.

Seeing Gu Jingyun's appearance, the official from the Ministry of Rituals explained in a low voice, sweating profusely: "Master Fang accidentally fell and twisted his waist when going to the toilet last night, so..."

"What about the replacement officer?"

The official from the Ministry of Rites said in shame: "Master Liu, who was the substitute, was too nervous and hiccupped accidentally."

Seeing Gu Jingyun glance at him, he blushed and said, "It hasn't stopped until now."

Gu Jingyun was covered by dark clouds.

The official of the Ministry of Rites immediately said: "However, Mr. Qi is not bad, but there are two or three details that are not very proficient, and I need your guidance."

Then Gu Jingyun saw Qi Lekang.

Qi Lekang was carrying a booklet on his back, when he saw Gu Jingyun quickly stood up and saluted, "Master Gu."

Gu Jingyun saw Qi Lekang's complexion softened slightly, "You are the tribute officer they are talking about?"

"Yes," Qi Lekang said with a light smile, "It's just that I still don't understand some details, I need to ask Mr. Gu for advice, and I hope Mr. Gu will give you some advice."

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched slightly and said, "What's so difficult about this, what's wrong with it?"

Qi Lekang unceremoniously put forward the steps that he didn't understand.

Gu Jingyun's face became more relaxed, and he explained it to him one by one without looking at the booklet, and even demonstrated it to him in person.

Qi Lekang knew that time was running out, so he looked at it seriously and didn't dare to blink his eyes.

He was originally a genius. Gu Jingyun not only explained but also practiced it himself, and he recited it in his mind and firmly remembered it.

Just as he was about to thank Gu Jingyun, the servant hurried in from the outside and said, "My lords, the auspicious time is coming, Your Majesty is about to leave."

Gu Jingyun turned around and bowed to Qi Lekang, and said with a smile: "In this case, I wish Brother Qi all the best."

Qi Lekang returned the gift, "Thank you brother Gu for your kind words, thank you later."
