This year's new year is destined to be different from previous years.
For the first time, Ning Nuan spent the new year outside Ning's house. As the hostess of Prince an's house, she also had a lot of things to handle, and even had a lot of interpersonal contacts.
Most importantly, as a relative of the imperial family, she had to follow Chu Fei into the palace for a family dinner.
On New Year's Eve, Xiangtao held a gorgeous dress which was made by several embroidering ladies who spent several days before the new year's banquet. Every detail was exquisite, which was much different from the style of Ning Nuan's ordinary days. It was Chu Fei's favorite gorgeous and conspicuous style.
This is what Chu Fei asked. He gave orders to let people see at a glance that he and Ning Nuan are a pair. Therefore, the details of the two sets of clothes are similar. It can be seen at a glance that the relationship between them is extraordinary. Ning Nuan had no choice but to comply with his request.
She didn't like heavy colors, but when she put them on, she was also dazzling. Chu Fei was used to her plain appearance, and suddenly put on a gorgeous dress, which was as amazing as that of her wedding day.
After waiting for Miyazaki, he will calm down and look better
"That's a little bit too much."
"Isn't that a good thing? You have to let everyone know that you are my wife. Let those people be jealous Chufei said, "besides, those people can't compare with you. That's also their own reflection. Can't we blame you?"
Before going out, an Wang, who has no brain to protect his wife, has already thought of a good excuse.
Rather warm smile smile, did not say what.
They went to the palace by carriage. The palace had been prepared for a day, and many people had already come. It was very lively. Nevertheless, when Chu Fei and Ning Nuan appeared together, they still attracted many people's attention.
They took each other to sit down, and soon someone came to talk to chufei with a glass of wine. As for the two academies, there is no result yet. As soon as they find an opportunity, several princes are ready to stir up and seize the opportunity to get in touch with him.
After Chu Fei left, Ning Nuan sat alone in her position, and felt that countless eyes fell on her from all directions, or explored or suspected. She did not raise her head, there was no expression on her face, only waited for chufei to come back in silence.
"Princess and aunt!" Jinghe Princess saw her from afar, immediately broke away from the hand of the maid in waiting and ran towards her happily.
Ning Nuan also remembers her. Seeing the princess dressed up today, she can't help smiling.
Jing and Princess rubbed to her side, "Auntie and princess, I haven't seen you for a long time! Last time I heard from empress dowager that you and uncle anwang went into the palace together. It's a pity that I was still in class at that time, so I didn't see you. Originally, I still wanted to find you, but the empress mother didn't want me to leave the palace, and uncle anwang didn't enter the palace. I only see you now! "
rather warm and touched the head of the quiet and princess, and whispered: "if your highness doesn't mind, you can come to Ann Wang's house to find me next time."
Jinghe Princess eyes a bright, just want to nod to answer, but soon pout up the mouth. "But my mother won't let me out of the palace."
Princess Jinghe is young and the youngest child of the queen. She is usually the most beloved. However, the queen is also very nervous about her safety. If Chu Fei did not sometimes take her out of the palace, she would not have had a chance to go out of the palace, let alone take the palace maid eunuch out of the palace to find someone in the palace.
"Rather warm gently smile way:" that I go back, and Wang ye say one. "
Jinghe and the princess are happy.
She also held Ning warm arm, said a lot of words, gesture intimate, even more than the princess. The princesses of several princesses naturally came, and their eyes fell on this side.
When Chu Fei finally got rid of the annoying people, he saw Jing and the princess occupy their own position when they came back. He picked up his eyebrows and held Jinghe Princess up.
Princess Jinghe kicked her legs subconsciously. When she came to her senses, she had already stood on the ground. When she turned her head, she saw that king an suddenly appeared and sat down in the seat where she had just sat.
"Uncle anwang, you are here too!" Jinghe and Princess happily squeezed into the middle of them: "I haven't seen you for a long time! Just now, the princess and aunt agreed to let you come out of the palace with me next time. "
Chu Fei looks at Ning Nuan, who blinks innocently. She just said that she would talk to the king when she went back, but she didn't promise.
But the words to Jing and princess's mouth, that is, she has taken the lead to help Chu Fei agreed to come down.
Chu Fei was helpless: "you think about going out of the palace all day, and the queen doesn't say anything?"
"Uncle Wang didn't agree with me until she came. As long as Uncle anwang opens his mouth, the empress mother will not object. " Jinghe said to the princess.
Coincidentally, there also found the disappearance of Jinghe princess, and quickly sent someone to look for it. Jinghe princess had to get up and go back. She told Chu Fei that he must remember it. Then she took the maid's hand to go back.
When she went back to the queen, Ning Nuan began to say, "the princess is innocent, and she doesn't know much about it.""Of course, I know that she is my favorite in the harem." Chufei said, "she is the only one who is closer to me."
Rather warm drooping eyes.
Chufei also said, "although she is my niece, she is not my child. I really want to say, where does she have her own children? Lovely, ah Nuan, do you think so?"
“……” Rather warm raise an eye, quietly stare at him, this just dropped the eye of silent ground again, pretend to have nothing to hear.
With the appearance of the empress dowager, the new year's banquet has finally begun.
Knowing that the Empress Dowager did not like himself, Chu Fei did not like other people to gather together in front of the Empress Dowager and the emperor. He sat down with Ning Nuan, the dancer in the palace in front of him. The dancers were young, beautiful and soft. Many of them looked straight at them, but Chu Fei was serious about picking fish bones.
The first time he served, he managed to pick out the bone of a piece of fish and put it in the Ning warm bowl, but it was obviously a long sigh of relief.
Ning Nuan couldn't help but smile and said, "there are fragrant peaches in there, and the Lord doesn't have to do it himself. Besides, I won't get stuck in the fish bone
"It can't be the same." Chu Fei could not help but sit up straight, and said solemnly: "there is no absolute thing. In case of any accident, what can we do? If I don't do it myself, how can I give it to a servant girl? Ah, don't you think so
Ning Nuan chuckled and said in a low voice, "the Lord should pay attention to some more. Others are looking at him."
Chu Fei looked around. Just as Ning Nuan said, there are many people around him secretly looking at him, and naturally he just picked the fishbone in his eyes. A lot of people are shocked.
Chufei did not care about the tunnel: "then let them see." It's just to be looked at more. Where is it important for ah'an to eat happily?
He said, and picked up a piece of fish, as if in the face of a major enemy, to deal with it again.
Ning warm had to say nothing more.
After several waves of dancing girls, every prince went to the Empress Dowager and the emperor to please them and sell them. After everyone had filled their stomachs, all the people got up one after another. When the Empress Dowager was old, she felt tired early, so she quickly got up and took the maids back to her bedroom. The rest of them moved to the imperial garden. After a long time of warm and warm stay with Chu Fei, they finally separated.
She stood with the women, and chufei was taken away by other princes. The Queen's attitude towards her was not enthusiastic, even cold, so was the crown princess. The other princes and concubines looked at each other, but they could not make up their minds. Just as they were about to test out, Jinghe and Princess pushed aside the crowd and held Ning Nuan's hand.
She waited all night, but finally found the opportunity, also did not care about the queen secretly handed over the line of sight, I wish the whole person was stuck in Ning warm body. Princess
took the lead in laughing, "love your Highness for the first time."
The eldest prince's concubine should also say: "I heard that Princess an was praised by master Huizhen earlier. That's a blessed person who was praised by master Huizhen. Just now I saw Wang an at the banquet. In Wang's eyes, Princess an is the only one. No one else can get into the eyes of King an. now even master Huizhen likes Princess an like this. It's true that Princess an is really like master Huizhen He is a blessed man
The Queen's face was pale.
Jinghe raised her chin and said, "who makes the princess and aunt look the best?"
The crowd choked and looked at ningnuan, unable to speak for a moment.
Even if they don't want to, they have to admit that Princess an's appearance is indeed outstanding. King an has chosen the advantages of the former Emperor and Princess Shu. In the royal family, no matter which Prince can compare with him, Princess an and he are like a pair of matchmaker made by nature, and the glory has overwhelmed everyone.
All women can't help but care about their looks, and everyone present is no exception. People's sight is sour to sweep on Ning warm face, in the heart head all have some envy.
Rather warm shape if did not see other people's line of sight, whispered: "listen to the LORD said, Queen empress was the beautiful crown capital, in the eyes of the princess, no one wants to come as empress."
Jinghe Princess immediately said: "the queen mother is the best to see!"
The Queen's lip corners pursed, after all or up.
The topic of the princess and others soon changed.
However, several imperial concubines remembered about the academy and wanted to talk to Ning Nuan, trying to persuade him by virtue of an Wang's love for her. But rather warm who did not answer, concentrate on accompany Jinghe princess, several imperial concubines want to mention several times, were her fork in the past, so a whole night, did not find a chance.
On the other side, all the princes were sitting together. Chu Fei was sitting with the emperor, holding a jade cup in his hand. He was blown by the warm wind, and he was still sleepy.
He only listened to these people, but did not insert a word.
I don't know who talked about next year's Chunwei. Until I heard the name of Zhu Hanshan, Chu Fei finally raised a little spirit.
"In autumn this year, a student named Zhu Hanshan got Jieyuan. I heard that in Chunwei next year, people in the capital also said that it would be Zhu Jieyuan who would win the first prize. Zhu Jieyuan has already made a marriage with the Xue family. Xue Gongli is really quick.""If it's fast, it's not as fast as Uncle Huang."
Chufei narrowed his eyes and looked at the speaker. It was the prince.
The eldest prince said: "Uncle Huang made a subsidy earlier, in which there is Zhu Jieyuan's name. I want to wish Jieyuan that he will remember Uncle Huang's help. In the capital, however, there are many students who are talking about Uncle Huang's kindness. "
They all looked at Chu Fei one after another.
Chufei said lazily, "as soon as he made a marriage with the Xue family, he had already returned the subsidy to the king. Now he has no relationship with him at all."
"Uncle Huang is a timely help, the friendship is naturally different."
"I just cherish my talent. Zhu Hanshan's broken clothes are patched. It's not right. He passed the examination of Jieyuan. No matter what will happen in the future, he will serve for the emperor." Chu Fei said to the emperor, "I sent such a big talent to the emperor, and he didn't thank me for that?"
The emperor was helpless: "what did you see in it again?"
"Look, the box of precious stones that foreign countries paid tribute to this year is very rare. I want to ask for jewelry for the princess of my younger brother." Chufei said with a smile: "the emperor will not even refuse to accept this point, will you?"
The emperor never treated him so harshly. Naturally, he responded immediately.
The chief eunuch next to him immediately took the things. Chu Fei took them and asked Wang Quan to put them away. After scanning the audience, he suddenly sighed: "to be honest, the academy is really worrying."
As soon as they sat down, they all looked straight at him.
"There are a lot of students in the academies nowadays. The two academies have been developing for a long time, so I shouldn't worry about them. But recently, I found out that..."
Several princes said eagerly, "what do you find?"
Chu Fei looked at the crowd and was embarrassed for a moment. Then he said, "all the students who can enter the academy have already passed the examination of scholars. Maybe it is not easy for them to get into the examination. There are more people who can't even afford to read in school because of their poor family background. There are even many people like Zhu Hanshan who are not as good as him
They looked at each other, and the third prince tried to say, "what uncle Huang said is not Castle Peak academy or white deer academy?"
"Of course not." Chu Fei said, "I have a plan in my mind, that is, to run an enlightenment class."
"Enlightenment class?"
"Many farmers in the suburbs of Beijing can't even enlighten their children because of their poor family background. Even if they can provide one, there is only one." Chufei sighed: "there are many people in the world who don't even know a word. Let me see. It's really painful."
They looked at each other again.
"According to Uncle Huang, what should we do about the enlightenment class?" The fourth prince said, "those farmers can't even afford to go to the Academy. Naturally, they can't afford the cost of the enlightenment class."
"Exactly." Chu Fei nodded: "so I was thinking that if they were exempted from their study, they would certainly be able to read."
"What's the emperor's plan?" "If the emperor's uncle is short of silver, don't be polite to your nephew."
The other princes also responded in the same way.
Chufei said with a smile, "then I have the cheek to go down."
The emperor took a deep look at him and said, "it's better to leave it to the crown prince."
The prince's face was pleased, but the other princes' faces changed slightly.
Chu Fei thought not to retort: "this can't be done. If it's handed over to the prince, then I'm not free to do it again?"
"Are you willing to take the initiative?"
"I'm not the same now." Chu Fei said: "I already have a princess. My princess likes me to take care of these scholars. I am waiting for the enlightenment school to open, so that the princess can praise me. If I let the prince do it, my princess will praise the prince. What can I do?"
The emperor was dumbfounded for a moment.
He felt something was wrong in his mind, but Chu Fei's face was just like this. In addition, on weekdays, what an Wang showed was that he spoiled his wife without restraint. He did things for the sake of flattery, and it would really be what he did.
Chu Fei also said, "Uncle Huang will surely remember the kindness of my nephews. When my enlightenment school opens, I will praise you in front of the people. I think the people will also appreciate your kindness Why don't I just set up a monument at the door
All of them said, "well
……
When Ning Nuan met Chu Fei again, he was in a good mood.
After paying homage to the new year and saying the auspicious words, all the talents continued to leave the palace.
The road is full of firecrackers blown by the wind. On the way back to the house, Ning Nuan finally asked out his curiosity: "what good things have happened to the Lord?"
"Good things happen, of course." Chufei said, "in a few days, someone will send us money. Didn't you say not long ago that there was not enough money? As it happens, some people will give us money in the future. ""What did the Lord do?"
"Ah Nuan, you have wronged me." Chufei said with a smile, "I didn't do anything. They had to give it to me. All the money came to me on their own initiative. I didn't have the reason to pick it up, didn't you?"
“……”
Chufei took out a box of precious stones from his arms: "I want to come here. I'll let someone make some jewelry for you later. I see that there are so few things on your dressing table that others don't know. I think I've treated you badly. "
“……” Ning warm suddenly helpless.
The jewelry on her dressing table is not small, not to mention that they often give her new ones. But Chu Fei was used to it. If he had worn it, the color was darker, and if it was not luxurious enough, it would be regarded as nothing. If he had chosen it carefully by his eyes, would it not be a pity that he had worn it?
Ning Nuan took the gem, thought about it and said, "my brother is in the capital this year. I have to go home and wait for him to leave. I don't know when I can see him."
"Naturally, I will accompany you back. You can stay in Ning house as long as you want, so you can live in that house directly. After Ning Lang returns to Qingzhou, he doesn't know when he can come back. Even if he is lucky, you have to wait for months. " Chu Fei said, "if you want to come tomorrow, there will be many people coming to visit. There are many things to be busy and you have to work hard."
Rather warm smile smile: "this is what hard."
Back to the palace, the time is not early, but the capital is still very busy, every household lights, all people open their eyes to stay up at night, waiting for the arrival of dawn. Ning Nuan took off her fancy clothes and changed her light clothes. Then she went to find Chu Fei.
Today's special day, two people do not think about official business, they lean together, each with a book to read, simple very. People from the palace came to speak auspicious words one after another. Chu Fei and Ning Nuan were not stingy. They had prepared the gold and silver words to reward them. The servants were very happy.
Xiangtao and Wang all agreed and ran out. The servants in the palace laughed and made a mess. The laughter came from outside through the door.
Today's special day, they do not feel disturbed, listening to the ear, also feel very lively.
When dawn broke, Chu Fei went out to the court meeting in a hurry. He could be lazy on weekdays, but today he can't. The new clothes were made according to Chu Fei's instructions. They were as gorgeous as his aesthetics.
Rather warm do not mind, and so on after the change, and listen to the outside crackling firecrackers. She hurried out of the door, just opened the door, was guarded outside the fragrant peach was scared.
Ning warm suddenly helpless to look at her, opened his mouth, but the sound was covered by the sound of firecrackers, fragrant peach also did not hear what she said.
Finally, when the crackling voice stopped, Xiangtao said with a smile: "Miss, what did you just say?"
"If you want to make trouble to me, you are not afraid of me punishing you." Rather warm helpless.
Xiangtao laughs, knowing that she is not angry, she pulls her out. At the gate of the palace, the steward of the palace takes his servants to change Taofu and paste Spring Festival couplets. This spring festival couplet was also written by Chu Fei himself, which means good luck.
After finishing everything, Ning Nuan sat in the room, waiting for Chu Fei to come back from the palace. Fortunately, he has a large number of generations. Today, he only needs to wait for others to come to pay New Year's greetings. Now, all the civil and military officials are in the court meeting, so ningnuan is also vacant.
The palace is also very busy, the kitchen is in full swing, the big cook is busy, and several kinds of food are brought out. The little maids also changed into new clothes, laughing incessantly, Xiangtao looked out frequently, rather warm but helpless, had to let her run out, leaving only a few quiet servant girls around.
When Chu Fei comes back, some of the family's small servant girls gather together to play cards. Ning Nuan sits on one side and looks at it. Xiangtao has already won a lot of young girls from the hands of a few little maids.
Wang Quan's hands itched. He took out his purse and rushed to it. However, he was pulled back by chufei.
"You haven't seen it yet?" Chufei pointed to ningnuan: "I don't want to help you. If you don't hold on to you, you will lose all your money even this year."
Wang Quan's eyes suddenly widened, and all the little servant girls also reacted. They couldn't believe it and looked at Ning Nuan. Rather warm quickly turned over the head, only if he did not do anything, soon, fragrant peach will be the small maid people angry surrounded.
Finally, some people continued to visit the new year, a large number of gold and silver notes scattered out, and when the day was over, they were exhausted.
