This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 177: Happy New Year! Bring me the red envelope!

Concubine Li seemed to have forgotten that she was also supported by the Queen last year.

The concubines were talking nonsense here and there. Ling Xiang was angry and annoyed when she heard it, but she didn't show it on her face. She just acted weak and pitiful.

It was Concubine Hua who had been suppressing her and not fulfilling her wish.

It was Concubine Hua who looked down on her.

She chose the Queen because she had no other choice.

It’s all Concubine Hua’s fault.

On weekdays, when working in the Yiku Palace, she would either beat or scold them. Later, although Hua Fei would not use violence anymore and gave her generous amounts of money, she was still intolerant and cruel to her servants. Huixiang and Xiao Yuzi just said one wrong word, but Hua Fei took their lives.

She rebelled because Concubine Hua did not treat them as human beings.

If I stay in Yikun Palace forever, I may not even be able to save my life, so what’s the point of having a lot of money?

The concubines' words were met with rebuffs from the silent Ling Xiang, and they felt that there was no point in speaking, so they all returned to the palace.

In short, at the beginning of the new year, a good show began in the harem.

Just wait and see.

I'm afraid this Lingguan woman will have a hard time in the future.

-------------------------------------

"This traitorous servant is truly despicable." Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong walked out of Jingren Palace and walked together on the long street.

The palace servants had cleared the snow off the long street. The three of them were each wearing a cloak and holding a silver charcoal hand warmer in their hands. The hand warmer cover was embroidered by An Lingrong herself.

"Fortunately, Ling Xiang was only a second-class palace maid before. If she was Concubine Hua's personal maid, I'm afraid the palace would not be so peaceful now. After all, being betrayed by someone close to you is the most painful." Zhen Huan said.

"Empress Hua didn't come to pay her respects today. I guess she's in a bad mood in the Yikun Palace." An Lingrong was a little worried that Empress Hua was really angry with her.

What is Concubine Hua doing at this moment?

Oh, Concubine Hua had no plans to pay respects today and slept until dawn.

Last night, I played mahjong with Songzhi, Lingzhi and Zhou Ninghai to keep awake all night. At the time of Jiaozi, we burned the first incense stick of the third year of Yongzheng's reign to Maitreya Buddha and let him have a delicious New Year's Eve dinner.

Linglong was brought from Changchun Palace to set off fireworks. Several people worked for most of the night, and when they went to bed, it was already three quarters past three in the morning.

Concubine Hua simply took Linglong to sleep in. When Concubine Hua woke up, Linglong was still lying on the embroidered pillow with her butt sticking out and drooling.

Xin Chang got up early in the morning with a heavy heart, dressed up and went to Jingren Palace to pay her respects. She was envious of Linglong and Hua Fei who had fun all night long.

Why do I have to get up so early to pay my respects?

So Xin Changzai, with a lot of resentment in her heart, wanted to vent her anger on Ling Xiang, but she didn't expect to run into Li Bin, the stupid one.

Xin Changzai went to Yikun Palace with half of her resentment vented, determined to regain balance among the first batch of descendants of Yikun Palace.

So, when Concubine Hua got up after a good sleep, she just happened to catch the end of the first check-in of the concubines this year.

Since she had a legitimate reason not to go to work, Concubine Hua felt that Ling Xiang was doing a good job.

Sacrifice her for the happiness of Yikun Palace.

Dumplings, also known as "zisunbingbo", are eaten on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. There is a red string hidden in the dumplings. Those who eat them will be blessed this year.

When the first batch of dumplings was served on the table, Linglong was yawning with her mouth wide open beside the dining table. Last night was so much fun that if fireworks were not banned in the palace on weekdays, she would have wanted to set off fireworks every night.

Those fireworks were all specially found by Nian Gengyao from outside for Concubine Hua. There were many varieties of fireworks, and even the fireworks from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not as complete as the ones sent into the palace by Nian Gengyao.

It is hard for ordinary people to see, so of course it is fresh, fun and interesting.

As for what else is in the fireworks, there is no need to let others know.

Linglong just closed her wide-open mouth and opened her eyes, and saw her mother walking in from the door.

"Mother, Happy New Year! Bring me the red envelope!"

"You little clever girl. Where did you learn these witty remarks all day long?" After coming in and paying respects to Concubine Hua, Concubine Xin sat down next to Linglong.

He slapped away Linglong's two little fleshy hands that were put together in a begging gesture.

When Linglong withdrew her hand, she found a red seal in her hand.

"It's written in Empress Hua's notebook."

"Hmm? Linglong, you can now recognize enough words to read? Or did Empress Hua read to you?"

Xin Changzai seriously suspected that there was something wrong with Hua Fei's early childhood education.

Hua Fei was holding her teacup when she heard Concubine Xin's doubts. She glanced at Concubine Xin and said: I didn't read the storybook to her. This girl is very cunning.

Concubine Hua was drinking her tea by herself.

Of course Linglong would not say that these were all scripts Zhou Ninghai had specially found and read to her.

Otherwise, my mother would definitely confiscate those storybooks and force me to recite the Analects.

Taking advantage of the New Year, Linglong took the three dough figurines she had made by herself and reached a tacit agreement with Zhou Ninghai, Lingzhi and Songzhi.

If you accept the dough figurines that I made myself, you will have to give me talk books and candies from time to time, and help me keep it a secret from my mother and Empress Hua.

Zhou Ninghai looked at the dough figurine and felt as if he saw himself. His warm eye sockets could no longer hide his tears.

Songzhi and Lingzhi looked at Zhou Ninghai's cowardly appearance and couldn't help pouting and frowning with a look of disgust on their faces. They believed that this abstract dough figurine was a small building.

Since these were given by the princess herself, they all happily put them away.

"Thank you for the reward, Princess. We also hope that the Princess will live long and be happy and healthy." Songzhi and Lingzhi bowed seriously to the dwarf Linglong in the small kitchen.

"Hehe, after accepting my dough figurines, you will be my people from now on. You all performed very well this year, so keep up the hard work next year." Linglong said to the three of them with her hands on her hips, imitating Concubine Hua.

Not to mention that the three words "this princess" are indeed very powerful, no wonder Empress Hua likes to say "this palace" so much.

After receiving the Ganoderma lucidum and giving two strings of candy, Linglong skipped and skipped to find her fourth brother to show off.

Little did they know that this amount of sugar was a special treat that Concubine Hua had Lingzhi give to Linglong during the Chinese New Year.

Linglong was eating dumplings at the dining table, swinging her legs. She was thinking about the conversation she had with Zhou Ninghai and the other two in the small kitchen yesterday. She felt great that she was indeed a smart princess. She was one year older and could already cheat for candy by herself. No, she could exchange candy for food.

Concubine Hua saw all the evil thoughts in her exquisite eyes. She was happy in her heart but did not show it on her face.

It would be great if everyone was as evil as Linglong, with their evil intentions exposed.

"Oops!" Linglong suddenly put down her chopsticks.
