Chapter 378 I regret not letting that family die out
Qianqing Palace
"Everyone, remember to chew slowly when you eat."
Huang Ye reminded at the right time.
“There’s something in this dumpling.”
The impatient King Yi just picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, and then he started shouting.
"It seems that Uncle Yi Wang is a blessed person. Congratulations to Uncle Yi Wang. May you have continuous good fortune in the coming year."
The emperor sat on the high seat and said to King Yi with a smile.
"What does the emperor mean?"
King Yi asked as he looked at the copper coins wrapped in the dumplings.
"The emperor just said that whoever eats this dumpling with the copper coin inside will have good luck and fortune in the new year."
Huang Ye explained with a smile to the people present.
People in this dynasty are extremely respectful of imperial power.
As long as the emperor speaks, his words are golden and no one would disbelieve them.
So she just secretly gave the emperor this idea.
This is also a gimmick of this palace banquet.
If nothing unexpected happens, this custom will be continued in future New Year’s Eve banquets and passed down from generation to generation.
It's just like…
She was like that in her previous life.
"I got the copper coins too."
Another voice sounded in surprise.
"I have it too."
Those who didn't get to eat the dumplings with copper coins looked at those who were shouting and cheering with envy.
Next year…next year there will be another chance, and they will also be able to eat these dumplings that represent good luck.
"Eating these dumplings on New Year's Eve has another meaning."
Huang Ye did not forget to increase his popularity.
"I was just wondering, what does the name of this food, dumplings, mean?"
The little Prince Fu was smiling and supporting the actor.
"After midnight tonight, it will be the New Year. The meaning of dumplings is to exchange money."
Huang Ye explained to him with a smile.
"Tonight marks the end of the year. I wish you all good health and good fortune in the coming year."
Her voice was so powerful that everyone stood up and congratulated her in unison.
"Thank you, Ye Jieyu, for bringing us such wonderful blessings."
"I also wish the Emperor and His Majesty good health and endless good fortune."
"Hurry up and sit down and eat your dumplings. They won't taste good if they get cold."
Little Prince Fu reminded everyone with a smile.
"emperor."
After eating and drinking his fill, King Yi held his stomach and began to give his suggestions.
"I would like to make a suggestion. Can we make eating dumplings a custom every New Year's Eve? The meaning of dumplings is so good."
"I also agree with Uncle Yi Wang's proposal."
Little Prince Fu was the first to respond.
This is a good opportunity for his adopted sister to become famous, so he has to be proactive.
"I agree."
The third prince raised his hand belatedly.
"And I."
The fifth prince tried hard to raise his voice.
"can."
The emperor agreed without any hesitation.
It was from this day that the custom of eating dumplings on New Year's Eve began in the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was passed down from generation to generation.
By the time we finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, it was already late at night.
Those who lived outside the palace, some of whom were too old, and some whose children were too young left early.
Only some young people who love fun are still staying in the Qianqing Palace to celebrate the New Year.
Huang Ye, Hong Dou and others were not idle in the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace.
They set off fireworks until after midnight, then returned to Ning Yuxuan with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
Cining Palace.
When the Queen Mother was carried into the sedan chair, she had already opened her eyes.
She was panicking.
How did that scoundrel, Prince Fu, know about that?
When the emperor destroyed the letter in front of her, he also said that he was the only one who knew about this matter.
She believed that because of the emperor's filial piety towards the emperor emeritus, he would not let the emperor emeritus know about this.
Judging from the expression of the retired emperor, it doesn't seem like he knows about this.
If what Prince Fu said was true, did he really hear it from the Ministry of Justice?
How many people know about this?
She regrets it now.
I regret saving that family.
It would have been great if they had all died at that time, then no one would ever know the secret between her and Xuan Chengzi.
It’s not like now, not only the emperor knows about it, but so many people know about it too.
How could the queen mother save her face?
Even when the sedan chair was carried into the Cining Palace, the empress dowager was still regretting it in her heart.
She regretted that she didn't think so much and didn't kill the whole family.
"The Empress Dowager."
Nanny Yingchun carefully helped the empress dowager down from the sedan chair and motioned her to look at Xu Rou.
Xu Rou was distracted at the time and had no time to take care of her aunt.
She thought that the Qianqing Palace was bustling with activity, but this bustle did not belong to her.
She resented her aunt.
It's all her fault. If she hadn't caused all these troubles, she would still be sitting in the Qianqing Palace attending a banquet.
"Rou'er, what are you thinking about?"
The Queen Mother looked at her with dissatisfaction.
"Rou'er...Rou'er is thinking about Shi Yaoyao, who usually pretends to care about her aunt."
Xu Rou didn't dare let the Queen Mother know what she was thinking, so she cleverly dragged Shi Yaoyao into the water.
"But now my aunt has fainted, why doesn't she come and take care of her?"
Xu Rou was confident.
"Aunt, don't be fooled by outsiders. We are blood relatives..."
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement.
It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. That Shi Cairen was indeed a little short of that.
As soon as Shi Yaoyao walked into the Cining Palace, she heard Xu Rou saying bad things about her behind her back.
But this was a common occurrence, and she was too lazy to argue with Xu Rou, a fool.
"I am late, please don't be offended, Queen Mother."
She quickly took a few steps to support the empress dowager.
"Aren't you at a party?"
The Queen Mother asked doubtfully.
"The Queen Mother is injured. How can I remain indifferent?"
Shi Yaoyao was very glad that she made a prompt decision at that time.
"After you leave, I beg the emperor to let me come to the Cining Palace to help Concubine Xu take care of you, the Queen Mother."
"You are a good boy."
The Queen Mother was very pleased.
She has a good eye and this talented historian is a capable person.
Xu Rou pouted unwillingly, but dared not say anything else.
Doctor Song came in with the Queen Mother, and seeing that the Queen Mother looked fine...
He wondered if he should leave.
"Doctor Song, please help the Queen Mother treat the wound on her head."
Shi Yaoyao said politely to Doctor Song.
"No trouble, this is my duty."
Doctor Song carefully examined the wound on the empress dowager's head.
He couldn't help but be impressed by the Queen Mother's perseverance.
This queen mother is really tolerant.
The piece of scalp that was torn off was about the size of a copper coin.
She could bear not to seek medical treatment and let the wound be exposed for so long.
If this becomes inflamed and festering...
"Your Highness, it may be painful when I treat your wounds. Please bear with it."
Imperial Physician Song told the Queen Mother.
"Then can't you be gentler?"
The Queen Mother said unreasonably.
She had already felt the pain once, and she didn't want to feel it again.
"Your Highness, to treat the wound, you must use medicine to clean it. Some pain is unavoidable."
Shi Yaoyao persuaded the Queen Mother.
