I want to ruin the country

Wenqing said it, and Yining thought about it and it was true!

It doesn’t matter on normal days, but it’s really not appropriate to leave a few people aside during the New Year.

Besides, Wenqing’s face is here!

"Okay, let's arrange a table for them!"

Unexpectedly, these people became the focus of the whole audience.

Let’s just talk about eating. It’s been more than three months since we got on the ship, and we still look like circus clowns when we pick up chopsticks.

Some people can spread the chopsticks apart but can't pick up anything, some hold a full handful and dig hard like a shovel turning the soil, and some hold one in each hand and put them in the middle!

Oh my, you made everyone laugh so hard that they almost choked!

Yining saw that they didn't want to embarrass themselves, so he ordered,

"Get them spoons and forks!"

I thought to myself, you are all idiots, is it that difficult to use chopsticks?

After the Royal Concubine laughed, her face darkened and she asked Yining,

"Emperor, it's been so long, and you still haven't taught them well?"

It was New Year's Day, Yining didn't want everyone to be unhappy, so he smiled and said,

"Who taught them that once they entered the palace, they should just fend for themselves!"

Prince Gong, who was sitting next to him, covered his mouth and laughed.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Can't you handle a few foreign girls?"

Yining pretended to be angry and pointed at him and said,

"You're the one who caused me all this trouble!"

Prince Gong laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, I am following your orders, yet you tell me the more the better!"

Yining pointed at him again without saying anything.

The Imperial Concubine said,

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even though other people's children don't look like human beings, they are still loved by their parents after all!

Since I've followed you, don't go too far. It's not right to be always ignoring me!"

Yining Road,

"I've been too busy lately to think about them!"

The Imperial Concubine said,

"I know you're busy, but you should take care of yourself. Our Great Qing Nation depends on you!"

These words were spoken with true feelings, and Yining felt warm in his heart.

"I remember this, Empress Dowager!"

The Imperial Concubine said,

"Yujue, come here and meet the emperor!"

A graceful girl came over and cast a spell on Yining.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor. Yujue greets the emperor."

Yining was very surprised. Yujue entered the palace?

The Imperial Concubine Dowager said,

"I miss her. Let her come in and see me. This niece is the most beloved!"

This is reasonable. It's a family dinner. There's nothing wrong with the niece coming to visit her aunt.

Yining understood a little bit. The old lady was unwilling to give up and wanted to see what the little girl looked like.

Yining took a closer look and found that the girl was indeed pretty. She was not short, had fair skin, a lot of collagen, and big, round eyes.

His actions and behavior were very magnanimous, and he was also very graceful when greeting Yining.

It was just that the Manchus' hairstyle made Yining feel uncomfortable. For some reason, Yining just hated the Manchus' clothing and hairstyle.

Now Yining seems to be immune to beautiful women. He has three peerless beauties around him every day, and there are also Hong Yujiao and Yujie outside.

This doesn't even include the seven foreign beauties next to them. If there were too many women, it would be like Fei Mo's classic line in "Cell Phone", "Trouble!"

Yining doesn't want to cause too much trouble, but when he sees a beautiful woman, he can't help but feel moved, and he also has an inexplicable desire to protect her.

Besides, is it appropriate to offend the Imperial Concubine Dowager because of a jade pendant? No matter what, she didn't give her niece to you with ill intentions.

Life is hard, who doesn’t want to give themselves an extra layer of insurance!

This is what the Imperial Concubine meant, but it is of no use to Yining.

But no matter what, the child is too young and I can't do it. Let's wait and see!

Yining said,

"Since mother likes Yujue, let her come to the palace to accompany you often!"

"Yes, Yujue, you heard it, right? You must come to see me more often in the future!"

Yining Road,

"Yujue, you've made the Imperial Concubine happy. I'll reward you with a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants!"

Yu Jue hurriedly expressed her gratitude!

The Imperial Concubine Dowager was delighted when she heard this and gave her a mandarin duck jade pendant, which made sense!

"Damn it, you perverted bastard!"

Yining cursed himself in his heart.

After the two plays were finished, they were very exciting. Yining ordered a royal banquet and gave each person a red envelope of 5,000 yuan.

It’s not easy to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so let’s all be happy.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is over, and foreign officials who wish to leave can do so. All that remains is to stay up all night to welcome the New Year.

This year, Yining also arranged some programs for the New Year's Eve. Instead of singing operas, he asked the troupe to rehearse some festive short plays similar to the sketches of later generations.

There were also some acrobatics and magic performances, which, to put it bluntly, were the predecessors of the later Spring Festival Gala.

Everyone was eating melon seeds, drinking tea, chatting and watching the show.

Of course, Yining sat in the middle with the Imperial Concubine Dowager, and the Imperial Concubine Dowager let Yujue sit behind her.

She and Yining were separated by a table, and her big eyes would occasionally slip over to Yining, and Yining could feel her gaze.

On two occasions, Yining deliberately looked into her eyes. At first, the little girl was not afraid, but under Yining's gaze, she smiled secretly and turned her eyes away!

"Pervert, pervert!"

Yining cursed himself again in his heart.

As we watched, more than three hours passed and the dishes started to be served. Although this meal was just a midnight snack, it was still a dazzling array of dishes.

Moreover, we have to eat vegetarian dumplings at this time. Jiaozi Jiaozi means the intersection of the midnight hours in a year, and this is the reason why we eat dumplings.

Why are the dumplings filled with vegetarian fillings? Because the Manchus believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and the dumplings eaten in Yining are cooked in the same pot as the dumplings used to worship Buddha.

After eating and drinking, the Imperial Concubine couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to go to sleep.

Everyone continued to stay up all night, and at two o'clock, Yining started to get busy.

He would burn incense and kowtow in every hall in the huge Forbidden City.

This is also a very tiring job. Just imagine, if you go to visit the Palace Museum, it will take most of the day to walk around and you will be exhausted and panting.

Yining didn't just walk, he also had to burn incense and kowtow. If he wasn't young, he would have been half dead just from kowtowing, and his knees wouldn't have been able to bear it.

There is no other way. This is a sacrifice to heaven and earth, he has to do this job himself, no one else can do it.

The kowtow and burning of incense here have not yet been completed, it is already four or five in the morning, and the civil and military officials outside have already arrived.

They were queuing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.

This is also the highlight of the emperor's New Year celebrations. The royal band and imperial carriage are lined up at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the bells and drums of the Meridian Gate rang out and the band began to play.

Yining ascended the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and all civil and military officials lined up according to their rank.

Next, the Iraqi Defense Minister read out the congratulatory message on behalf of the emperor, and all officials performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows!

Yiningxu raised his hand to invite the ministers to stand up, gave them seats and tea, and the ministers kowtowed again to express their gratitude.

The process was completed, the band played music again, Yining walked down from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the ministers left the Hall of Supreme Harmony one by one, and the New Year greetings ended.
