Mr. Dou, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that his letter was several days late, thus destroying Zhou Zhen's new year's day. In the early morning of the first day of the new year, he got up and asked people to take out their court clothes which had not been worn for many years, and they should go with the officials to worship in the palace.

Every year on the first day of the first month of the first month of this dynasty, all the officials who returned home without leave would enter the palace on this day, which means that the emperor and the ministers celebrate the new year together. After entering the palace, he did nothing else. He knelt down, called out "long live" and said some happy words. At this time, the emperor would reward the ministers with calligraphy, jewelry, gold and silver according to their grades, achievements and favors. Some ministers would be left to share lunch in the palace to show their sympathy.

Mr. Dou has never been to the palace since he said he wanted to remove his armor. Even the servants of the Marquis's house were surprised. He helped the old man to dress well and set up a carriage to go to the palace.

Zhou Zhen of the Zhou family was absent, so Zhou Jiayan, who was in the Wei office, entered the palace early. However, on the second day of the second day of the lunar new year, all the women of the Zhou family just took out their official clothes, ironed them and hung them for preparation.

On that day, after the pilgrimage was over, the news that Mr. Dou was about to leave the mountain spread all over the streets of central Beijing. The old man was not only surprised to see the old man but also to walk away. There are rumors, and those with official positions are always talking about it.

Dou Laohou appeared in the worship, Fengdi was really surprised and pleased, and left him and a group of cabinet elders to have lunch in the palace. Just a variety of insinuation, want to find out whether he is willing to return to the court, Dou Lao said, just miss the emperor, to see the emperor to perfunctory in the past.

After the banquet, not only the emperor Fengdi couldn't figure it out, but also the elders who had dinner in the palace.

Li Qingzhao went to the Liu family to wait for the news after the pilgrimage, which was also the meaning of Liu Yun. He asked him to come home and sit down on the new year's day and get closer to his granddaughter.

Liu's family warmly entertained their uncle to be. Miss Liu stood by her mother's side, her eyes drooped and she couldn't help peeping at the jade tree's face from time to time.

Liu's family looked at all these things in their eyes and chuckled. Mrs. Liu gave her granddaughter a reason to talk to her son-in-law alone.

In order to delay the proposal, Li Qingzhao had to use her mother's illness as an excuse. When she saw Miss Liu Si, she was impatient. However, he could not bear it any longer and spoke to her tenderly.

Seeing the soft light in his eyes, Liu Si's heart became more and more happy. Her whole heart was completely occupied, and she bravely went to kiss him on the face.

Li Qingzhao was so stunned by her that she didn't respond to it. Miss Liu ran away in shame. Fortunately, she ran away. Otherwise, he could not help showing his true attitude.

Li Qingzhao, who was left alone in the West Hall, quietly took a handkerchief and wiped the place where the little girl had just touched. Then he closed his eyes and closed his hands, thinking about how to meet Xiuying.

Every year, the empresses and concubines will be rewarded to each government. I don't know what kind of reward will be given to the Zhou family this year. On the second day of junior high school, Liu Yun was on duty in the cabinet.

He thought, clasping his hands tightly together.

On the first day of the first day of the first month of the lunar month, the capital became lively. Xiuying stayed up late in the morning. After lunch with the elders, she ran back to the Kang to take a nap.

At this time, a cry of joy woke her up and listened. The steward said that there was a reward in the palace.

Xiuying woke up at once. She was busy getting off the Kang with her shoes on. Feng had ordered that the incense table should be set up quickly and that each room should be informed to receive the reward. Xiuying is also called by her to Ping'er zhi'er to pull into the room and turn around.

Soon, all the Zhou family gathered at the screen wall, kneeling to welcome the appreciation.

It snowed yesterday, and the stone floor was as cold as ice. The eunuch who announced the reward had won the holy will. He only let the people shout long live and listen to the praise.

The East and the West have a pair of calligraphy with auspicious words, silk and jade treasures. The empress and Feng Guifei were rewarded with another pile. After reading the long list, the eunuch said auspicious words in front of Mrs. Zhou and Feng with a smile. Feng personally gave him a full red seal and left with a smile.

As soon as they left, everyone looked relaxed. Mrs. Zhou looked at Xiuying and said, "since the empress and the lady have rewarded you alone, you will follow us into the Palace tomorrow and wait in the carriage at the gate of the palace. If the ladies want to see you, you can see the reward."

The original pile of rewards, actually a separate to Xiuying. The empress of Chu will reward because of Princess Xizhen's previous affairs, which naturally means that the Chu family is courting. Princess Feng is Xiuying's aunt, and it is normal to give a reward alone.

Xiuying wrinkled her face when she heard that she wanted to go into the palace to thank her.

After her marriage in her previous life, she also waited at the palace gate every year. At that time, she had to wait for the ladies in front to see her turn. It's hard to eat and drink when you've been in a cab for a long time.

Seeing her sad face, Feng Shi thought that she was afraid, so he straightened her cloak and said, "don't worry. The ladies are very busy tomorrow and may not have time to see you."

Xiuying can only squeeze out a smile and nod her head cleverly.

It was the night that Li Qingzhao, who returned home, received the news."- are you sure that the queen and Princess Feng have rewarded the girl on Thursday?"

The guard nodded and said, "surely it can't be wrong. I got the news from the eunuch who went to the Zhou family's propaganda and appreciation team."

Li Qingzhao's eyes brightened and nodded with satisfaction. He took off the money bag from his waist and threw it in the past: "take it to drink."

The guard was glad to thank him and was about to go out. He asked, "has Ma Qingyuan any news?"

The guard didn't fall back and respectfully said, "people have been paying attention to it all the time. It seems that the royal guards haven't been looking for any more recently."

Li Qingzhao let people go.

Tomorrow... Shen Xiuying will be in the palace!
