Princess Yide looked at Mu Yunyao's strange expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, don't think about it too much, tomorrow's New Year's Eve banquet, the princess from Northern Xinjiang will also come to participate, if you are curious, you can personally Just take a look."
Mu Yunyao nodded: "grandmother said yes."
After a good night's rest, Mu Yunyao got up early, and when she came to the dining room, she found that Xu Yanhan was already busy in it.
"Mother, why did you get up so early?"
"Today's Chinese New Year, although I am in the palace now, I don't have to follow the folk customs deliberately, but my mother's habits for many years can't be changed. I still want to make some Qiaomo and steam some cakes to be lively and lively. I don't know your grandmother. Is it your eating habit?"
Mu Yunyao was stunned, and quickly laughed: "Mother and I thought of going together, I got up early and wanted to make some Qiao Mo."
The mother and daughter worked together, and Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, Siqin and others helped, and soon, a basket of white and plump Chinese Zodiac Qiaomo was made.
Xu Yanhan measured it carefully for a moment, and felt very satisfied: "Yao'er, your grandmother should get up now, I'll send it to her, you can eat together."
"Mom, let's go first, I... I'll make some more and send it to His Royal Highness King Yue." After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, her face flushed red, and she looked even more prosperous.
Xu Yanhan couldn't help thinking of the scene of the New Year's Eve in Jingling City before, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "The year before last in Jingling City, Jun Yue squeezed a tiger with his own hands. It's cute and tight when you go up to the top, and you will eat it in the end, right?"
Mu Yunyao's cheeks flushed: "Mother remembered it wrong, I haven't eaten it."
"Okay, okay, you didn't eat, but ask your mother to help you? After all, the Qiaomo you squeezed doesn't look very good."
"Mother, you're making fun of me again. I already had someone carved the mold, so you don't have to pinch it with your hands." Mu Yunyao lowered her head, her voice getting lower and lower.
Xu Yanhan's smile became even stronger: "Then hurry up and do your work, you will have to try on clothes later, but don't waste your time."
"Okay." Mu Yunyao took out the mold. Last time King Yue said that she wanted to eat the Qiaomo she made. After she tried several times and still couldn't make it, she asked the craftsman to carve the mold. Go, then remove the mold and that's it, it's very simple.
Mu Yunyao looked at the Qiaomo placed on the steamer, and after thinking for a while, she pinched a big tiger and put it on it. In the end, it didn't look very similar, so she took the pen and wrote the word "king".
King Yue changed his clothes and was about to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to greet the emperor when he saw Yu Heng walking in with a food box: "Master, this is from Miss Mu." King Yue was overjoyed and opened the box. Then I saw steamed buns in the shape of white and fat white rabbits. They gently poked the belly of the white rabbit with their fingertips, and made a shallow pit. When he retracted his fingertips, the belly of the white rabbit appeared It slowly returned to its original state, making people unable to stop raising the corners of their lips and laughing.
Voice.
Yu Heng glanced at him secretly, and then his eyes widened slightly: "My lord, why did Miss Mu steam you a Pixiu?" The Pixiu with its teeth and claws stood out in the middle of a pile of small and cute white rabbits. Eye-catching.
King Yue picked up the Qiao Mo in the middle, and carefully measured the slightly deformed king character in the middle. He couldn't help but glance at Taiheng coldly: "This is a tiger."
Yu Heng's eyes widened slightly: "My lord, this is clearly a Pixiu? Where does it look like a tiger?"
"It's the same everywhere." King Yue's tone was firm.
"But..." Yu Heng took a closer look, but still couldn't see a tiger. King Yue held the deformed tiger in his palm, and the corners of his lips showed an obvious upward curvature: "Yu Heng, another year has passed. During this period of time, Yu Yi was running back and forth between Jiangnan and Guangdong, and the distance was really hard. , as brothers, you should be considerate of each other. After the New Year, you will go
…”
"My lord, this tiger that Miss Mu gave is really majestic. It looks different at first glance." Usually tigers don't look like this.
King Yue raised his eyes to look at him: "Can you tell?"
"That's natural, you can see it at a glance." Yu Heng felt that he had no regrets at all, because after knowing that it was a tiger, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it had an aura of pixiu. It was really so different.
King Yue finally felt satisfied, and after careful consideration for a long time, he reluctantly put it down and went to the main hall to greet him.
After Mu Yunyao accompanies Princess Yide to eat, she was dragged to try on clothes. She finally got out of the filial piety period. Dizziness.
In spite of Mu Yunyao's objection, Princess Yide chose one dress for her to try on, and she was satisfied with all of them.
Mu Yunyao was forced to change into more than a dozen dresses, but she was not impatient at all, she was always smiling, and she could see Mammy Qu sighing: "After the young lady came back, the eldest princess has become alive. "Xu Yanhan nodded: "Yes." Yao'er is like a touch of sunshine in the early morning, warm and soft, which can always make people let go of their guards. As she laughed sincerely, thinking of her daughter's passing She is going to get married after the end of the year. Rao Shi has always been in a calm mood, and she can't help but treat King Yue a little more.
It would be great if I could keep her for a few more years.
In the evening, the palace was lively, because it was a New Year's banquet, and the princess of Beijiang was present.
This time, Mu Yunyao did not arrive early, but accompanied Princess Yide to the main hall.
At this time, all the officials in the hall had arrived, whispering auspicious words to congratulate the New Year, and the atmosphere was particularly lively.
Just as everyone was about to stand up and salute, they saw the emperor following in the footsteps of Princess Yide, with a relaxed look on his face, not the gloomy expression of the previous period.
"Sister Huang, why didn't you wait for me?"
"The emperor has worked hard for a year. I thought I would be lazy at today's banquet. How could I think that the emperor is still so diligent."
The emperor couldn't help laughing: "That's why the emperor would praise me like this."
According to the seat order, Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang on the prince's seat looked at each other, and silent warmth and tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.
On the seat of the envoys from the northern border, the most central guest seat is still vacant, and the princess of the northern border, Helian Liluo, has not arrived yet.
Just when everyone felt disrespectful, a belated announcement sounded from outside: "The Princess of Beijiang is here." Everyone stopped talking and looked at the door of the hall. The princess of Beijiang came to Kyoto for two days. The purpose of being involved with the three princes is obvious, but with such ambition, at least one should have the qualifications worthy of his ambition. For women, the biggest capital is probably appearance. I don't know what the princess of Beijiang, who wants to win over several princes as ministers under her skirt, looks like
