On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, every household will worship their ancestors, and the royal family is no exception.

The ancestor worship is not only a man, but also a woman.

At home, men stand in a row and women stand in a row; men hold incense, sacrifices, women hold fruits, wine and other offerings.

There was a fixed order, one by one, and the whole clan knelt down to worship his ancestors, and then went back to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner and singing and dancing.

The royal sacrifice is led by the emperor.

The emperor's brothers and sons stood in line according to their seniority; on the other side was Empress Dowager Qi, who also stood in front and behind with her empress, princess, etc. Empress Dowager Hu stood in front of Empress Dowager Qi, but she was very dissatisfied, but she had no choice.

Xiao Jingcheng is not very old, but his seniority is quite old.

He is the one who is under the emperor.

After the ancestor worship, the emperor glanced at his brothers and children and grandchildren, and found that only Xiao Jingcheng was left in his younger brother, and only his nephew Xiao Mingyu was left in his younger brother's lineage, and then his five sons were left.

"It's too thin." The emperor thought, "No wonder those prominent families can bully us. If the population is not strong, the imperial power will not be revealed!"

After the sacrifice, everyone moved to Liufang Palace to attend the Royal Annual New Year's Eve dinner.

The princesses did not participate in the sacrifice. They took their son-in-law and children and waited for a long time.

The concubines could not participate in the ancestor worship, so they were with the princesses and waited together.

When he arrived at Liufang Palace, the emperor looked at the room and his mood improved a little.

Xiao Jingcheng did not sit down, but waited for the emperor to sit down, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am a little unhappy and confused. I will go back and lie down first. I can't stay with Your Majesty tonight."

The emperor hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've got some cold wind." Xiao Jingcheng said, "I can't leave for Your Majesty and Mother."

The emperor wanted to ask more questions, but was worried that he would be sick, so he had to let Xiao Jingcheng leave.

Empress Dowager Qi did not go into it in depth either.

Everyone was nervous when King Rui was present. Although they refused to admit it, they were just afraid of King Rui. As soon as he left, everyone felt much more relaxed.

Only Xiao Mingyu understood that Uncle Rui must have gone to Xue Mei.

He was funny and angry.

Xiao Mingyu also wants to leave.

There are these singing and dancing in the palace every year. I have been tired of seeing them since I was a child. The meals are not as good as those of the little prince’s own cook.

It's really boring.

The "Sick Escape" trick was used by Uncle Rui. Xiao Mingyu was not good at using it anymore, but he was very itchy. Uncle Rui could not take advantage of it. He only went to accompany Xue Mei.

He and Uncle Rui have not decided on the outcome yet.

Xiao Mingyu thought about it repeatedly, but still couldn't find an excuse to escape, but he saw Princess Baoqing and Princess Song Zihong in a blink of an eye.

Apart from the New Year, I can’t see Prince Song during normal times.

The imperial power was dispersed by the clans, which led to the marriages of princes and princesses being mostly a means of uniting prominent families, but Princess Baoqing's is different.

Baoqing was the emperor's first child, and it goes without saying how biased the emperor was towards her.

Song Zihong is from Kyoto, his family is barely wealthy and has a few acres of land. His father is a scholar and he really wants to stick to the Dan Tai family, but he cannot get in.

But Song Zihong got the green eyes of Dan Tai because of his good talent.

Princess Baoqing met Song Zihong at the Dantai family, and was obsessed with him and had to marry him. At that time, she must have liked Song Zihong.

Unfortunately, she won't just like Song Zihong.

Just like a man, when a new handsome man appears and she won’t break the law after eating and can afford to support her, why do she still suppress herself?

When Song Zihong first got married, he was very energetic; now he looked at him a little dull.

Xiao Mingyu's mind twitched, walked over to Princess Baoqing and said, "Princess, I'll give you a cup."

Princess Baoqing disliked him very much and said coldly: "No need, you go away."

Xiao Mingyu put down the cup.

He had just said something to the princess, and then went to the emperor, "Uncle, my nephew will say goodbye first. There are also several serving people in my nephew's mansion. My nephew wants to accompany them, so I understand their infatuation."

The emperor glanced at Princess Baoqing.

Naturally, the emperor thought that Princess Baoqing annoyed Xiao Mingyu and Xiao Mingyu wanted to leave.

But at this time, the emperor was too lazy to coordinate and just wanted to drink a few glasses of wine quietly, let Concubine Wen snuggle beside him, look at the people in the palace, and then enjoy the dancer's new choreography.

He nodded: "You go."

Xiao Mingyu said yes, and left the seat quietly. In order to prevent Empress Dowager Hu from asking more questions, he did not go to Empress Dowager Hu and left quietly.

Empress Dowager Hu was chatting with Concubine De, and noticed that Prince Ancheng had disappeared. She thought he had gone to the clean room, so she didn't think much about it.

When he arrived at Princess Chengyang's Mansion, Xiao Mingyu went to knock on the door. The servant answered the door and said to him very sorry: "Prince, Princess has given him the order, and he will not be able to receive guests today."

Xiao Mingyu was so angry.

He actually dared to block him outside the door.

He said to the servant, "You go in and report it, and just say I'm here."

The servant was in a dilemma: "Prince, don't call it a villain difficult to do. The princess will do whatever she wants. The princess really said that she would not be able to enter the guest, and no one could put it in."

Xiao Mingyu stuffed a purse to the servant and said, "Go, report it to me, this hundred taels will belong to you."

The servant's heart suddenly jumped.

His monthly monthly money for three taels of silver in the Princess' Mansion is much better than that in other places. One hundred taels is indeed a huge sum of money for him.

But……

The servant thought of the princess's house having enough food every day, the kindness of mother Dai, and the smiling but majestic face of the princess, shook her head and returned her purse: "Prince, the villain dares not."

Xiao Mingyu: “…”

He was so angry that he laughed.

The little prince was not a good person to pass, so he immediately went to the back street. From the distance, you could see the bright lights on the tallest building in the back garden of the princess's mansion from the back street.

Xue Mei likes here during festivals.

Xiao Mingyu stood downstairs and shouted: "Xue Mei, this King is here, please let me go in."

His voice was loud, but it was too far away, so Xue Mei didn't hear it, but Xiao Jingcheng and Xue Chi both heard it.

Xue Chi glanced at Xiao Jingcheng.

Xiao Jingcheng was about to cover up, but Xue Mei finally realized it and called the maid to come and ask, "Is anyone shouting outside?"

"It's Prince Ancheng, he called him for a long time." The maid said.

Xue Mei: "..."

The fifth brother Xue Run is not very good at playing mahjong, and he has a bad hand, so Xue Mei is planning to kick him out.

The little prince was a very good mahjong cake. He delivered it to the door by himself. Xue Mei laughed: "Wait, I'll pick him up."

She went out of Shuangyan Tower, passed through the corridor, arrived at the place where the people lived, and then opened the back door, where Xiao Mingyu was still jumping up and down there and shouting.

Xue Mei: "Why is that prince, isn't it embarrassing?"

Xiao Mingyu: “…”

He strided over and complained to Xue Mei: "You are so interesting. You blocked me outside the door in the middle of the night. You are such a heartless person."

Xue Mei: "I don't know you're here again."

"If you ask the servants in your house, they dare to stop me." Xiao Mingyu was still very angry.

Xue Mei asked him to come in and said that he would lose several games later to him and let him calm down the fire.
