Spring is full of Jinghua

Chapter 216 looks like

Both Meng Cimo and Jiang Yixi couldn't answer the old man's words, so they bowed their heads and remained silent.

The few people were silent for a long time, and the old man said, "I don't want to see those two people, otherwise I can't help but kill one, and then kill the other. I went to the village to calm down for a few days, and I happened to plan something there."

Considering that he has always been in good health, it is hard to say that he is ill.Knowing that there is such a possibility, Fu Shi and Zhao Hu should not be aware of their doubts.

The old man said again, "Forget it, I just said that I heard from Cimo that an old subordinate who had followed me for many years in Yongcheng died, and I was very sad. I can't let everyone accompany me to have a bad year. Now I go to the outer courtyard to rest. Go to Zhuangzi tomorrow."

Only to find this excuse.

Jiang Yixi went to rest on the couch in the west room, and Meng Cimo accompanied the old man to the study in the outer courtyard to rest.

At the beginning of Shenshi, everyone came to Fu'an Hall one after another.

Hearing that the old man was in a bad mood, Cheng Guogong, Meng Ciyu and his son, the second old man and his two sons all went to the outer courtyard.

The old man only kept Meng Ciyue from the second bedroom, and the others were sent back to Fu'an Hall to have a reunion dinner with the old lady.

Because of the old man's affairs, the reunion dinner was not good.

After the meal, the old lady and the elders distributed red envelopes to the younger generation. Several adult men went to the outer courtyard to watch the new year, and the women and children went back to their respective courtyards.

Light snow fell in the sky again, the wind howled, and the lanterns on the trees and under the porch swayed with the wind.

Jiang Yixi lay on the bed, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the window paper, sleeping very peacefully.

The direction is becoming clearer...

Meng Cimo didn't return to Fushengju until early in the morning.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the clan, officials and family members above the third rank, and those named by the emperor and queen mother will enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

Before dawn, Cheng Guogong, Meng Cimo, Meng Ciyu, Fu Shi, Jiang Yixi, and Meng Hua went to the palace by car to pay New Year's greetings.

The old man didn't want to see Meng Daoming and Mrs. Fu, so he took Meng Ciyue alone, and went directly to Mengjiazhuang after leaving the palace.

The old lady has been in poor health, especially in autumn and winter, and the empress dowager kindly gave her no need to enter the palace on the first day of the new year.

Every year, Mrs. Fu would bring Meng Hua into the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and Meng Ciyu was called by the emperor and queen mother to let him go.

This is also Jiang Yixi's first time in the palace to meet the queen mother in this life.

Men and women go to two palace gates, men go to visit the emperor, and women go to visit the queen mother.

At the palace gate, Jiang Yixi was helped out of the car by Linxiang, and saw Mrs. Zheng Xie waving to her not far away.

There are so many people today that no servants are allowed to follow in.Meng Cimo was worried about Jiang Yixi, so he begged Zheng Yu privately to let his mother Xie enter the palace with Jiang Yixi.Everyone in the Zheng family knew that Meng Cimo and Fu Shi did not get along, so they naturally agreed.

Jiang Yi walked over with a smile, helped Mrs. Zheng and followed the crowd to the Palace of Compassion.

Meng Hua rolled his eyes and helped Mrs. Fu go to the front.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Jiang Yixi up and down. Although she was wearing a big cloak, she could still tell that she had a big belly.

She smiled and said, "With such a big belly, people are also fat. It's good to be fat. The mother is fat and the child is fat. It's easy to give birth after birth."

Jiang Yi asked with a smile, "Where are Tingting and Jingjing?"

Mrs. Zheng laughed, "Tingting went with the Eldest Princess, Jingjing is too timid to come to such an occasion."

The lady who came, Mrs. Zheng, knew each other and kept saying hello to them.He introduced Jiang Yixi and said, "Meng Shizi's little daughter-in-law."

Jiang Yixi said hello to those she knew, and smiled to those she didn't know.

He's staff has a better relationship, chatting and laughing with people in the front, back, left and right from time to time.

When we arrived at the Compassion Palace, many people stood outside.

There was still light snow in the sky, but almost everyone was wearing thick cloaks, and because of the large number of people and nervousness, they didn't feel cold.Of course, there is no way to be cold.

Everyone entered the palace in an orderly manner to kowtow to the empress dowager, and after a few more words, they would come out in half a quarter of an hour.There are also some empress dowagers who like it very much, hold hands and talk, and even stay for meals. These people are generally limited to the clan, or the royal family wants to give special favors.

Fu Shi and Meng Hua went in first, but didn't come out, and the people behind went in and came out again.

This shows that Fu's mother and daughter were left to speak by the Queen Mother.

It was Jiang Yixi and Mrs. Zheng in line, and they walked towards the hall hand in hand.

At the entrance of the main hall, there is a little maid who helps to hold the cloak.When you go in, take off your cloak and give it to them, revealing the phoenix coronet and Xiapei, and bring it back when you leave.

Earth dragons and charcoal basins were burned in the main hall, making it as warm as spring.

An old lady was sitting on the Arhat bed directly in front.The old lady was wearing a bright yellow palace dress, with white hair and a phoenix crown. She seemed to be smiling, but she was quite majestic.

This is the Empress Dowager Xia.

There were two rows of people sitting on both sides, but I didn't know who they were.

A palace official first introduced to Empress Dowager Xia, "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, this is Mrs. Zheng Xie from Zheng Shaobao's mansion, and this is Mrs. Meng Shao's wife Jiang from Cheng Guogong's mansion."

Mrs. Zheng and Jiang Yixi lowered their eyes and came to the old lady, knelt on the table and kowtowed three times, and said, "Respectfully invite the empress dowager Jin An, and wish the empress dowager a thousand years and a thousand years."

The Empress Dowager Xia knew Mrs. Zheng, and said with a smile, "Get up." Then she looked at Jiang Yixi, smiling even wider, "You are the good handkerchief handkerchief of Xiao Zhenbao, little girl Jiang? Good boy, come closer and let Ai's family take a look."

Jiang Yixi stepped forward, Empress Dowager Xia took her hand to look up and down several times, and said with a smile, "You are blessed when you see this face, it looks very similar to Little Treasure."

A concubine on the side smiled and said, "Things of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. It is because of their resemblance that we can play well."

Jiang Yixi pursed her lips and smiled.

She knew very well that she couldn't talk too much on this kind of occasion, and she would lose her words if she said too much.What's more, there are Concubine Zhao and Princess Shengping. Concubine Zhao and the Fu family are in the same group, and Shengping and Li Zhenbao are at odds.

A crisp voice said, "Grandmother, she looks a bit like Li Zhenbao, especially Zheng Tingting."

Of course, the one who spoke was Li Xi, Princess Shengping who had the most trouble with Li Zhenbao.

She didn't dare to say that Jiang Yixi didn't look like Li Zhenbao at all, but she did.Zheng Tingting was standing behind the eldest princess of Yichang. She found that Jiang Yixi looked a little like Zheng Tingting, so she pulled her out.In order to distinguish Li Zhenbao, he also said that they resembled each other very much.

Empress Dowager Xia especially disliked Li Xi, who was reckless and quick-spoken, and it was not good to scold her in front of everyone, so she frowned.

Concubine Zhao was annoyed that her daughter was upset with the Empress Dowager again, so she quickly smiled and said, "Xi'er is right, this Jiang family really looks a bit like Tingting."

Her words immediately attracted the Queen Mother's attention. She glanced at Jiang Yixi and Zheng Tingting, and said with a smile, "Oh, it's really similar."

The Eldest Princess of Yichang smiled happily, "No wonder I felt kind-hearted when I first saw little girl Jiang. She looks a little like Tingting. They play well, this is fate."

Jiang Yixi was furious.Li Zhenbao was right, this Shengping was really the most hated female starling in the world.

She glanced at Zheng Tingting behind Princess Yichang, and her eyes quickly turned around on He's face.He's complexion was extremely bad, and he stared at Jiang Yixi in a daze.

Jiang Yixi immediately pulled Mrs. Zheng and smiled, "Yes, some people say that I look like Mrs. Zheng."
