Chapter 695 Six Pairs of Marriages
The New Year's Eve is destined to be noisy and joyous. Lanterns of various shapes are hung on both sides of the long street outside the palace. The fireworks are dazzling and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers is deafening.
Ministers are busy staying up with their parents, wives and children, and ordinary people are busy with New Year's Eve dinner and pasting Spring Festival couplets. The various melon seeds and candied fruits on the street are booming... Unlike the prosperity and noise outside, the priest's hall is solemn and quiet. The respected high priest takes many servants to bathe and burn incense, praying for the blessing of the gods, so that Dongling will prosper year after year and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.
The high priest in a white robe is followed by Zhan Ruo, who has been in the priest's hall for more than a year. The handsome and elegant young man is wearing a snow-white robe. He looks up at the gods, and his eyes are full of awe of the gods, as well as piety and hope for the blessing of the person in his heart.
This night passed quickly, and time passed unconsciously in the laughter.
Take a bath and go to bed, and fall asleep.
The next morning, before the sun was fully up, Nan Xi and Rong Yu woke up. Hao'er was still sleeping. Nan Xi got up very quietly, not wanting to disturb her son who was sleeping soundly.
Today is the first day of the first month of the new year. You can't sleep in. Someone will come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings soon. On the one hand, it is the palace rules and etiquette, and on the other hand, Nan Xi wants to have fun together on the first day of the new year.
Several female officials in charge of the palace took the palace servants to make dumplings of various flavors early in the morning. They made a fuss by themselves, and at the request of Her Majesty the Queen, they made some silver coins. Whoever eats it means good fortune, and it also brings the atmosphere of the New Year to the Dazheng Palace.
The first to arrive were Xuanyuan Chen and Lin Jia.
After Nan Xi granted the marriage, the young couple lived a warm and peaceful life after marriage without any twists and turns. Lin Jia, who had experienced a fruitless marriage, was a person who could endure loneliness and had a relatively calm and quiet mind. When Xuanyuan Chen went to court, she stayed at home to take care of Qiao. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along very well, and got along like mother and daughter, without any grudges.
Xuanyuan Chen and Lin Jia had a mutual affection from the beginning to a deepening relationship after marriage, which was gradually soaked with sweetness. Although they did not often appear in the sight of the noble ladies and princes of the imperial capital, they guarded their own stable years in a corner. After eight months of marriage, they finally announced the good news last month.
The second to arrive were Chu Nanyi and Qingling. After the two got married, Her Majesty the Queen gave them a month's vacation, but they would go to the palace from time to time to check the pulse of the Regent and Her Majesty. Qingling was a female doctor and was used to getting up early. Today was the first day of the new year, so she and Chu Nanyi naturally got up early and entered the palace.
Then came Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi, Xuanyuan Jia and Lu Chonglin, the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's family, Qingyang and Yinyue, and the last to arrive were Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin.
Almost all the couples in front of him were arranged by Nan Xi. Most of the women who got married early were pregnant. In addition, Nan Xi herself was pregnant. Looking around, only Chu Hongyi and Qingling were still single.
Yin Yue, Lin Jia and Xuanyuan Jia were not pregnant yet. Her Majesty the Queen asked them to sit quietly. They didn't need to kneel or help with anything. They just needed to sit quietly.
There were couples in front of him. Only Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, two handsome and dazzling men, had extraordinary looks and outstanding temperament. They looked a bit out of place in front of the newlywed couples.
