Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Qing He smiled and said, "Let's go and celebrate the New Year together."

"Don't worry, Princess. Today the palace has carefully prepared a dinner according to your instructions."

They all walked into the palace together, and saw that the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and it was full of joy.

When they arrived at the main hall, the palace's secret guards, imperial guards, stewards, maids, and servants were already waiting there.

"I, your servant, greet the prince and princess. I wish you a happy new year and all the best!"

"Everyone, please stand up quickly. After today's banquet, everyone will receive a red envelope of ten taels to celebrate the New Year."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Princess."

"Everyone, please take your seats!" Qinghe ordered.

"Your Highness, Princess, you are finally back. This old man was almost starving to death waiting for you." Doctor Xue urged them when he saw the two of them coming back.

"Doctor Xue, please take a seat."

Everyone walked towards the dining table. There were already more than a dozen tables in the main hall, and each table was filled with sumptuous New Year's food.

In the middle of the table is a whole lamb roasted to golden and crispy texture, exuding an enticing aroma, with the skin sizzling with oil, making people salivate.

The dishes around the whole lamb are exquisitely arranged:

Braised carp, braised prawns, sweet and sour spare ribs, steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried vegetables, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork with preserved vegetables, pan-fried steak, four-happiness meatballs, shrimp and egg, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, Dongpo pork elbow, squirrel fish, lettuce with oyster sauce, Kung Pao chicken, braised spare ribs with potatoes, stir-fried beans, spicy crab, and Maoxuewang.

And cold dishes:

Cold shredded vegetables, husband and wife lung slices, braised food platter, old vinegar peanuts, cold shredded chicken, shredded belly with red oil, jellyfish head mixed with cabbage, and spinach with nuts.

In addition, the soups include lotus root and pork ribs soup and egg drop corn soup.

Qinghe and Baili Ye looked at the table full of dishes and were very satisfied.

Baili Ye smiled and said:

“Tonight on New Year’s Eve, everyone is gathering together happily, and I am very happy.

Last year, you all worked hard for the government. The princess and I saw it all and kept it in our hearts.

As the new year approaches, I hope that we can work together to strive for the prosperity of the government and the well-being of all of you.

Today I would like to offer a toast to you all, and wish you a happy New Year and all the best.

Let’s drink to our heart’s content today, and don’t go home until you’re drunk.”

Everyone raised their glasses and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty and Your Majesty have a happy new year and good health."

Doctor Xue couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of roasted lamb, chewed it with satisfaction, and muttered:

"This roast lamb is really delicious. It's worth waiting for so long."

"If the miracle doctor thinks it's delicious, eat more. If you like any of these dishes, tell me and I'll arrange it for you later." Qinghe said with a smile.

Doctor Xue's eyes lit up, "Are you serious? Princess, I like all the food you have here."

"Then I'll make it for you in turn. Come on, everyone, try it and see how it tastes."

Seeing this, everyone started to pick up their chopsticks and taste the delicious dishes one by one. As they took the food in their mouths, they exclaimed in admiration.

"This braised carp tastes really good. The fish meat is fresh and tender, and the soup is rich and delicious."

"The braised prawns are plump and delicious. They are really tasty."

"The sweet and sour pork ribs are sweet and sour, just right for my taste."

"The steamed pork with rice flour is soft, glutinous, salty and fragrant, really good."

“Chicken stewed with mushrooms is a classic, the soup is fresh and delicious.”

“The grilled steak is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a great taste.”

“The Four Joy Meatballs have a good meaning and taste great.”

“Stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, salty, fragrant and delicious.”

“Dongpo pork elbow, grand and delicious.”

“The lettuce in oyster sauce is refreshing.”

“The Kung Pao Chicken is delicious.”

"Braised pork ribs and potatoes, very delicious."

“Dry-fried beans are tasty.”

“The spicy crab is really good.”

"This lotus root and pork ribs soup is warming and delicious."

For a moment, everyone let go of their burdens, and there was no longer any distinction between master and servant, and everyone started to eat with peace of mind.

The secret guards, who were usually serious and stern, relaxed at this moment, eating their food and chatting in low voices.

The guards ate meat and drank wine heartily, and the atmosphere was lively.

The stewards discussed the affairs of the mansion with each other, their faces full of satisfaction.

The maids and servants were also very happy and enjoyed this rare feast.

Qinghe was filled with joy as she watched everyone enjoying their meal.

She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, put it in Baili Ye's bowl, and said gently:

"Aye, try this." Baili Ye ate it with a smile and nodded in praise.

Baili Ye picked up some stir-fried beans for Qinghe and said, "This is really delicious. Eat more."

Everyone had almost finished eating, so Qinghe took the housekeeper and the cook to the kitchen to make dumplings.

Everyone who ate dumplings for the first time or again in the palace was conquered by the taste of the dumplings.

Everyone continued to chat and laugh, enjoying the joy of the New Year in this wonderful time.

It was late at night, but everyone was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.

Qing He smiled and suggested: "Since everyone is so excited, how about we play mahjong together?"

Doctor Xue asked curiously, "May I ask, Princess, what is mahjong?"

Qing He smiled and took out the mahjong, put it on the table, and said to everyone, "Who wants to play? The prince and I are still short of two people. Who's coming?"

Doctor Xue was the first to say, "Count me in as an old man."

"One hundred and one counts as you too."

"Yes."

Four people sat down at a table and started drawing cards. Qinghe explained the rules to everyone while they played.

After two rounds, the people watching on the side also became eager to try.

"Do you guys want to try it?"

Everyone responded, "Yes."

"Then everyone can form a team and go over there to play mahjong."

Soon, several mahjong tables were set up in the hall.

Everyone sat together, laughing and talking.

Although the secret guards were usually serious, they were attracted by this novel game at this moment and looked at the cards in their hands intently.

Everyone was chatting and laughing while playing cards, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Others who did not sit down to play cards were also watching attentively from the sidelines. They chattered about the game and expressed their own opinions.

As time went by, the night grew deeper, but everyone's interest did not diminish in the slightest.

Some people won the cards and danced with joy;

Some people don't get discouraged even if they lose the game, and they are determined to win the next round.

After midnight, Qinghe and Baili Ye left quietly, leaving everyone to continue playing in the hall.

Qing He and Bai Li Ye walked hand in hand in the palace. Qing He looked at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, raised his head slightly, and said softly:

"Aye, look at the snow, it's so beautiful. Everyone is very happy today." Qinghe said with a smile.

Baili Ye nodded gently, "Yes, this kind of excitement has never happened before. You have arranged it very well today."

As they walked, they came to a pavilion and sat down.

Baili Ye took Qing He into his arms and said softly, "In the new year, we will continue to be so happy."

Qing He leaned on Baili Ye's chest and said, "I definitely will."

Suddenly, Qinghe screamed "Ah", it turned out that Baili Ye picked her up.

"It's a bit cold, let's go back to the room to celebrate the New Year."

"Didn't we celebrate?"

"There were too many people just now. That was everyone's happiness. We didn't celebrate enough."

Baili Ye said as he kissed the little girl's cherry lips, then he used his lightness skills to quickly walk towards the room while holding Qinghe.

As soon as he entered the room, he pushed Qinghe against the door, leaned forward and kissed her.

"Aye, is this what you call celebration?"

Baili Ye kissed Qinghe and moved her to the bed.

Putting Qing He gently on the bed, Baili Ye leaned over, looked at Qing He tenderly, stroked her cheek lightly with his fingers, and whispered:

"It's New Year's Day, we should celebrate, my beautiful princess."

Qing He lowered his eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, "My handsome prince, don't you want to sleep?"

Baili Ye chuckled, slowly moved closer to Qinghe, and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Go to sleep now."

After saying that, he kissed Qinghe deeply.

"I hate you." After saying that, Qinghe's heart was beating fast and she put her arms around Baili Ye's neck.

Baili Ye took the opportunity to hug Qinghe tightly in his arms, and their bodies were pressed closely together.

They felt each other's warmth and heartbeat, Qinghe responded to his kiss, and their kiss became more and more passionate, full of love and passion.

The room was charming. Before they knew it, the sky was turning pale. The two of them slept for half an hour and felt refreshed.

After getting up, the two had breakfast and rushed to the palace to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.

Qinghe and Baili Ye came to the palace and met the emperor and empress. They followed the crowd to the place for ancestor worship, and a solemn atmosphere instantly enveloped them.

Everyone looked respectful and stood in order according to etiquette.

The ancestor worship ceremony began, with incense rising and solemn music playing. Qing He and Bai Li Ye also focused their minds and participated in it attentively.

After the ceremony, the Emperor and the Empress took the Crown Prince, Baili Ye and Qinghe to the Queen's Palace. The Crown Princess did not participate in the ancestor worship ceremony due to her poor health, and waited in the Queen's Palace.
