Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

After August, the weather turned cooler and Luo Qin began to prepare winter clothes for the Yu family army.

The New Year was coming soon, and Luo Qin helped Wang to prepare things for the New Year.

The Spring Festival during this period is called "New Year's Day" or "Zhengdan", which refers to the first day of the first lunar month. The most important thing in the New Year is to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, because people at this time believe that all kinds of ghosts will descend at the end of the year, so they have to ward off evil spirits.

On this day, the emperor would hold a court meeting in the palace, and all civil and military officials would attend the banquet. There would be singing, dancing and music at the meeting. The emperor would accept wine offered by ministers and dine with all the officials.

If there is a celebration within the family, the clan members will get up early in the morning, put on new clothes and hats, and congratulate their family members.

People drink pepper and cypress wine and peach soup at the same time. However, the order in which people drink on New Year's Day is different from usual. They drink in the order of youngest first and then oldest, which means children should grow up faster and the elders should age slower.

In addition, people also eat Jiaoyatang, Wuxinpan and Jizi. Jiaoyatang is a kind of sticky candy, Wuxinpan is made of five kinds of spicy vegetables put on a plate, usually onion, ginger, garlic, leek and radish, and Jizi is eggs.

On New Year's Day, people also set off fireworks and hang peach charms to ward off evil spirits.

These things have to be prepared in advance, especially for a large family like the Xie family, where etiquette is more complicated and no mistakes can be made.

Luo Qin and Wang had been preparing these things early on.

"Madam." Ping Yu called to Luo Qin.

Luo Qin looked up from the account book, and Ping Yu immediately handed her the things in her hand, "Look, my lady, all these things have been bought."

Luo Qin took the list, looked at it carefully, and nodded after confirming it, "Then go and match them for Ajia."

"Here."

New Year's Day is approaching, and not only do we have to buy new clothes for everyone, but we also have to give rewards to the servants. All in all, it's another huge expense.

Luo Qin prepared a set of gorgeous clothes with a fairy-like style for Xie Yun, with a white base, golden auspicious cloud patterns, a snow-white and flawless fox fur collar, ribbons and tassels on the lapels and shoulders, and bells around the waist. She also prepared a couple's outfit for herself.

Hmm, I wonder if Boan likes it?

The truth was that Luo Qin was overthinking it. Xie Yun, who doted on his wife like a devil, liked everything she prepared.

On New Year's Day, the couple wore new platinum-colored clothes, and everyone present was stunned.

I have never seen such fairy-like clothes, as if they were immortals walking out of a fairyland.

The man was tall and straight, wearing a wide-sleeved robe with a white background and gold patterns. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, making him look like a banished immortal, giving people a sense of transcendence. He had a handsome face, and there was a kind of tenderness in his deep eyes, and a doting smile on his lips.

The woman next to the young man is petite, with a pretty face and skin as white as snow. Her wide-sleeved skirt with a white background and gold patterns is as light as a cloud, highlighting her graceful figure. The layers of her skirt would spread out like flowers with every step she takes.

The couple walked hand in hand, as if the whole world had stopped for them.

"I pay my respects to my parents! I wish them happiness and good health in the new year!"

"The daughter-in-law greets the father and mother! I pay my respects to the father and mother! I wish the father and mother all the best in the new year!"

Luo Qin and Xie Yun knelt down to congratulate.

"Good children, get up quickly." Wang smiled and asked the two of them to get up.

"Thank you, father and mother!"

The two stood up and said to Wei and Xie Cheng beside them: "Auntie, Erlang, I wish you peace and happiness in the new year!"

After saying this, their eyes met, revealing love and tacit understanding.

Wei and Xie Cheng thanked the couple with a smile.

Master Xie was dressed in purple court robes. He glanced at his eldest son, who was wearing black hair and a jade crown, and looked like an immortal. His throat choked up, and he was silent for a moment. He said speechlessly: "You are going to the court dressed like this?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the child has not been officially appointed."

Xie Yun was officially appointed as an official in the early spring, and the preparatory work had been going on for the past few months.

White is the preferred color in the Jin Dynasty, and it is common and not uncommon to wear white during festivals.

Okay, you can tell at a glance that these are the clothes prepared by my daughter-in-law. Let the two young people do whatever they want. There’s nothing wrong with it anyway, as long as they aren’t cold.

After congratulating, Master Xie brought his eldest son into the palace to attend the court meeting.

The Wang and Xie families were sitting next to each other. Wang Xu, who was also dressed in white, was stunned when he saw Xie Yun, who looked like an immortal.

No, how could Boan steal his style?

Doesn’t Boan like to wear dark colors?

Wang Xu was going to attend a court meeting today, so he deliberately avoided the white and gold color scheme of the Crown Prince's regular uniform and wore a white robe with green bamboo patterns. Why was Bo An still...

The prince with black hair and a golden crown beside the throne saw Xie Yun's body, then looked down at himself and found that they were the same color!

The only difference is that the prince's is ivory white with a coiled dragon pattern, while Xie Yun's is silver white with a cloud pattern. There is a subtle difference in color. The prince's looks more solemn, while Xie Yun looks more otherworldly and ethereal.

The most important thing is that Xie Yun is more handsome than the prince!

The smile on the prince's face froze.

But they really didn't overstep their bounds. White celebrities can wear anything. Xie Yun's clothes are different in color from the prince's, and the pattern is fine. But I still feel uncomfortable when I look at them. The contrast is too obvious...

Yu Qillang was sitting on Yu's side, and he was also attracted to Xie Yun at first sight.

He felt envious when he saw Xie Yun's ethereal attire. His eyes fell on Xie Yun's handsome and flawless face, and then he looked at his own hands, which were full of calluses from holding the sword for years.

Hmm, is this the reason why Miss Luo didn’t like me?

I have to say, Xie Yun deserves to be the most beautiful woman in Jiankang!

Jin Zhao also saw Xie Jun's outstanding outfit today, and knew at a glance that it was made by Luo Qin.

Thinking of his beloved woman marrying Xie Yun, the two of them living a happy life, and Yuanri even making clothes for him, the jealousy in Jin Zhao's heart was like a poisonous snake, tightly entwining his heart.

He couldn't bear it. Every time he imagined it, he felt like his heart was being cut by a knife and he couldn't breathe.

Jin Zhao was jealous that Xie Yun could possess Luo Qin legitimately, but he could only watch it all happen silently. This jealousy corroded his heart like poison and made him fall into endless pain.

Xie Yun was keenly aware that someone was looking at him. He followed the gaze and met Jin Zhao's gloomy gaze.

Xie Yun paused and nodded naturally, as if there was no rift between them.

Such natural cheerfulness made Jin Zhao even angrier.

He stole his woman and yet he dared to act so arrogantly in front of him!

Xie Yun is really a coward!

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Jin Zhao would have gone crazy again.

A grand banquet was taking place in the magnificent hall.

In the center of the banquet, a group of dancers in gorgeous costumes were dancing gracefully. Their dancing moves were light and graceful, and the long sleeves in their hands fluttered in the wind. The music was melodious and pleasant, perfectly coordinated with the dancers' movements, making people intoxicated.

The guests sat around a low table filled with delicious food, savoring the delicacies and chatting happily.

On one side of the hall, musicians played various instruments, including melodious piano sounds, exciting drum beats, and crisp flute sounds, interweaving into a beautiful piece of music.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. People were immersed in this feast of singing and dancing, forgetting all their worries.

Soon, the eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Instantly, everyone in the hall stopped talking, the music stopped, and they all stood up and knelt, shouting: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! Long live your Majesty!"

"Stand up." The emperor's majestic voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and returned to their seats.

The emperor, wearing a dragon robe and a five-beamed Jinxian crown, sat at the top and looked down at the entire audience, taking in everyone's performance.

Suddenly, his eyes uncontrollably looked in the direction of Xie, and saw the gorgeously dressed Xie Yun.

The emperor’s first thought was: Has an immortal descended to earth?

Looking more closely, isn't this the eldest son of old man Xie Yu? Why is he wearing white today?

The emperor didn't care much. He looked away, raised his glass and exchanged greetings with his ministers. Finally, he said loudly: "Today is New Year's Day. Don't be polite. Just drink as much as you want!"

After hearing this, all the ministers raised their glasses to congratulate His Majesty on the New Year and wish that the Great Jin Dynasty would have good weather and good harvests in the new year.

At the Xie Mansion, after Taifu Xie and Xie Yun left, after a while, people from the second and third rooms came over one by one to congratulate them.

When all the people from the Xie family were present, they drank pepper and cypress wine and peach soup together.

As the name suggests, pepper and cypress wine is wine brewed with pepper and cypress leaves, while peach soup is soup cooked with peach wood.
