Kangxi's mad favorite escaped concubine

Chapter 130 The New Year's Eve Festival in the Palace (2)
Bobo dumplings, clam dumplings, horseshoe dumplings, Sixi steamed dumplings, fish-shaped dumplings, ingot dumplings, wallet dumplings... The entire Yonghe Palace has been stunned by Master De's understanding of dumplings. This is almost a full feast of dumplings. But Wu Ya shook her head: "There is one more thing, dumpling hot pot!"

"Hot pot?!" Wu Ya's words shocked all the palace people, can dumplings be used as hot pot?Wu Ya raised her eyebrows and calmed down everyone's mood: "Calm down, calm down, don't you know that your master is an ingenious person? The weather is almost here, let's prepare the last important dish, and get ready to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace!"

Si Zhu was a little puzzled: "We're going so early? It's not dark yet? Is it safe to stay there for a long time?"

Wu Ya smiled, with an expression that you don't understand: "If we appear in the banquet like this, we will really stand out! Send the dumplings first, so that we won't attract too much attention!"

Si Zhu nodded dubiously, and followed Wu Ya to the Compassionate Ning Palace.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, there are even more lights and festoons. The big red lanterns are lit before dark, and it is said that they will not be extinguished until February [-], which represents a whole year of prosperity.Before Wu Ya went in, Yin Reng had already rushed out, plopped down and kowtowed to her: "Reng'er wished Xiao'eniang New Year's greetings, and wished Xiao'eniang a long life and peace every year! Finally, Reng'er can send New Year's greetings to Erniang La!"

Wu Ya smiled and patted his head: "Reng'er has grown taller! Xiao'enniang gave you a red envelope for the New Year's money!" Wu Ya took out the golden locket wrapped in red paper, and put it in his hand. Forgot to tease him: "Hey, wait a minute, the money is not for nothing, today you support Xiao'enniang, don't drop Xiao'enniang!"

With sparkling eyes, Reng'er nodded solemnly: "Reng'er is an older child, and can protect my little mother!"

Wu Ya put her hands on his shoulders with confidence, and he walked stiffly and cautiously, as if there was a big responsibility on his shoulders, which must be protected with all his attention.

Wu Ya curled her mouth, reassured by Reng'er's cuteness, she went in to pay her respects to the two empress dowagers.

"It's so early for De'er to come!" Xiaozhuang summoned her to his side with a smile, "Today you sit next to Ai's house, let's talk about our own things!" After Xiaozhuang settled De'er, Gently stroking her round belly, "Give the Ai family a sigh of relief, give birth to a big fat boy!"

Wu Ya smiled and remained silent.She didn't want to express any opinions on this feudal thought that men are superior to women. If she hadn't already known that this child must be a boy, she would rather have a girl. In this way, the pressure and responsibility would be less, and on the contrary, she would be much happier.

Jinse has been promoted to be the maid of honor, and came over to report: "Master, the dumplings have been sent to the back kitchen, and the slaves will go over when they are ready to cook!"

Wu Ya nodded: "Okay." Wu Ya's attitude towards Jinse couldn't help being angry and funny.Since Jinse became the consul's aunt, she no longer looks like Jinse anymore. She has become more serious and calm all of a sudden, and she is a replica of Sizhu.

Si Zhu obediently sat in the corner and watched Wu Ya and the Empress Dowager act coquettishly, not talking too much, hiding in the huge Compassionate Palace like a transparent person.

When the night falls, the Compassionate Ning Palace is so lively that the sky can be lifted, there are New Year greetings, congratulations, chats...everything is there, and the noisy voice covers everyone's eardrums for a while, almost Difficult to distinguish one or two.

It was also the first time for Yi Concubine who had passed her confinement period to see this De Concubine again, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared, what kind of person was this woman who had given her nightmares for several months?How could she be so unstoppable?Yipin stared at her fiercely, watching her keep stuffing food into her mouth, why, why wasn't she worried about being framed by others?
Is there really a constitution that is invulnerable to all poisons?

Wu Ya sat obediently, and smiled politely at everyone who came to pay New Year's greetings to the two empress dowagers, like a big doll, always maintaining the same expression.Xuan Ye looked at her not far away, this kind of occasion is not suitable for her, she could not use such a forced smile, she couldn't help sighing, Wu Ya felt the staring gaze, and saw Xuan Ye with worried eyes through the crowd, couldn't help but Holding the corner of his mouth, he shook his head nonchalantly.

Wu Ya's attention was gradually attracted by the delicacies on the table. This was the most sumptuous table of meals she had ever seen. She suddenly understood that this was the legendary full banquet of Man and Han!Wu Ya stared at a few dishes she had never seen before, drooling, and when Si Zhu saw them, she became anxious, but she was too far away, and she really felt powerless.

Sizhu had no choice but to keep winking at Jinse, Jinse reacted, and took advantage of everyone not paying attention, gently poked her shoulder with a finger, Wu Ya's whole face collapsed, she looked back at Jinse with her mouth curled up, and then looked back at Jinse from a distance. Looking at Sizhu, they all had stern eyes, so he couldn't help but put a dumpling in his mouth, and chewed it aggrievedly.

Xuan Ye saw the whole process in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing secretly.

After the merry-go-round, everyone went back to their own palaces. Wu Ya stretched herself. It was really too long since she stayed up all night. It was only a little past twelve o'clock, and she was so sleepy that she fell into the dark. , regardless of the posture or dignity, tore off the flag head, fell on the kang and fell asleep.

In two more hours, it will be the morning court. Xuan Ye must have a nap and is about to receive the congratulations from all the officials. Thinking about it, she will be tired. She probably won't come here. She doesn't care about other things. Put it sideways on the kang and fall asleep soundly.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Xuan Ye rushed to the Yonghe Palace and saw such a picture of a "beauty sleeping to death".Xuan Ye was helpless, where did she look like she was about to give birth?She still ignored her like a child, and couldn't help but sigh, to be able to maintain this innocence in the big dye vat of the Forbidden City, I'm afraid De'er is also considered a miracle!

The women in the harem don’t do anything for the whole first month, they don’t move needles or scissors, and the rest of the time is just visiting. Wu Ya will not go to other people’s palaces to seek death, and she doesn’t like this kind of hypocrisy very much. Luckily, no one likes to come to the Yonghe Palace. In case of a concubine giving birth or an accident, no one of them can get away from it. Therefore, the Yonghe Palace is the most deserted in the first month of the lunar year, and Wu Ya is almost too idle. It's rotten, and I just stare out the window in a daze every day.
