After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"I hope that in the coming year, everyone will be better and better, and Xuanlong Kingdom will also prosper!" The Queen Mother held up the wine jar, her eyes full of anticipation.

Everyone hurriedly raised the wine bottles in front of them and drank them all in one gulp.

Because Zhu Qing'an was pregnant, the wine in the wine jar was replaced with warm tea. Even if the others did not drink, they broke their vow today.

After all, today is New Year's Eve and everyone is very happy.

Although everyone has different identities and status, they are all family and friends. At this moment, they put aside their identities and drink to their heart's content.

There were no palace servants serving him. Zhu Qing'an felt that today was New Year's Eve, so he not only gave rewards to all the palace servants, but also promised them that they could go back and rest early.

Moreover, Zhu Qing'an had people prepare the New Year's Eve dinner early in the residence of the palace people. Although it was not luxurious or delicious, it gave the palace people some comfort during such a festival.

"Look!" The fifth princess suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with endless joy.

Everyone looked outside. As soon as the Fifth Princess finished speaking, the sound of fireworks was heard. Before Zhu Qing'an could react, her ears were covered by Bian Jingsheng.

The sound of the banquet blooming was transmitted to Zhu Qing'an's ears through Bian Jingsheng's big palm. Zhu Qing'an looked at the fireworks, his eyes filled with shocking beauty.

This was not the first time Zhu Qing'an had seen fireworks, nor was it the most beautiful fireworks Zhu Qing'an had ever seen. But at this moment, because of her mood and the people around her, this fireworks display became exceptionally beautiful and unforgettable.

For a moment, everyone looked up and stared at the fireworks in fascination.

Even Marquis Wen'an was holding Qu's hand at this moment, looking at the fireworks, thinking about the past years, with gratitude in his eyes.

I am glad that the Wen'an Marquis Mansion is still prosperous, I am glad that my family is safe and healthy, and I am also glad that I still have someone close to me by my side after so many years.

"Do you like it?" Bian Jingsheng leaned close to Zhu Qingan's ear and asked softly.

By this time, Zhu Qingan had already gotten used to the sound of fireworks at the banquet. He gestured for Bian Jingsheng to release his hands and asked, "Is this prepared for me?"

Zhu Qing'an suddenly realized at this moment that the biggest difference between Bian Jingsheng and previous emperors after he ascended the throne was that he was very frugal and never squandered money on luxurious enjoyment.

But today is New Year's Eve, and there are suddenly so many fireworks set off in the palace. This is really not Bian Jingsheng's style. Now that I think about it, it might be a surprise from Bian Jingsheng to himself.

"Well, I want to make you happier!" Bian Jingsheng replied.

Before this, he had been thinking about giving Zhu Qing'an a surprise on New Year's Eve, but he couldn't come up with a good idea.

Later, the personal guards around him said that girls all like bright fireworks. Every time fireworks were set off in the palace on New Year's Eve, the girls in every aristocratic family's mansion would go upstairs to watch, which shows how much girls love fireworks.

Since that was the case, Bian Jingsheng specially ordered people to set off such a fireworks display during the New Year’s Eve dinner just to make Zhu Qing’an happy.

Moreover, he didn't have people set off too many fireworks, so there wasn't any waste.

"I like it!" Zhu Qingan nodded, not wanting to look away. How could she not like it? Women seemed to be born with a love for beautiful things, and Zhu Qingan was no exception.

Zhu Qingan's two words made Bian Jingsheng curl the corners of his lips. As long as Zhu Qingan liked it, Bian Jingsheng felt that everything he did was meaningful.

When the fireworks stopped, Mrs. Bian said, "Look at this child, he's so stunned!"

Fortunately, today's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared in a pot and cooked over red charcoal fire, so it didn't get cold.

"You're also stunned! You know what, this year's fireworks are particularly beautiful!" The Queen Mother poured herself another drink.

It's not the fireworks that are beautiful, but the good mood. In the past, the palace would also set off grand fireworks every year, but in previous years, the Queen Mother was not in the mood to look up at the fireworks.

Old Lady Bian smiled and nodded. Now that her best friend was by her side, her son was an emperor, her daughter-in-law was obedient, and she would soon have a legitimate grandson, Old Lady Bian was cheerful all day long and walked with great vigor.

"Drink less!" Old Lady Bian was clearly advising the Queen Mother, but the wine in her wine jar was never empty.

"Empress Dowager, Madam Bian, this wine is a medicinal wine I specially prepared. Although it tastes like ordinary wine, it is actually very beneficial for regulating the body. It is just a little intoxicating!" Yang Chaoyan said softly.

The reason why she can now treat patients in Ancheng without being targeted by those doctors is because she has the protection of the Queen Mother and the Queen. Moreover, she can freely mobilize the doctors in the palace to learn more medical skills from the imperial doctors. Yang Chaoyan is very grateful.

But there was not much she could do, and all she had was her medical skills, so she specially prepared a few jars of medicinal wine. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager had it brought in on New Year's Eve.

"Miss Yang is really thoughtful. Look, I won't go home until I'm drunk today!" The Queen Mother said, and poured herself a drink.

Zhu Qing'an, who originally wanted to persuade the two elderly people not to drink too much, now suppressed her worries. She had great trust in Yang Chaoyan's medical skills. Since it was a medicinal wine made by her herself, it must not only be harmless to the body, but also nourish the mind.

"Miss Yang, if you have time, please make a few jars for me. I have been craving this for many years!" After drinking a bowl, the old man still felt unsatisfied, so he licked his old face and asked for more.

The Queen Mother was already a little tipsy at this time, and she laughed heartily when she heard this.

"You, when you were young, you could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. You loved drinking whenever you had nothing to do. You've been sober for so many years now, but you must be craving it!" The Queen Mother said, looking at Yang Chaoyan and the other younger generations. "You don't know that her drinking capacity back then was even better than that of men. In the military camp, she could drink as much as several soldiers!"

Everyone was a little surprised. After all, it was not uncommon for women to drink alcohol, but most women drank mild fruit wine. It was rare to see someone like Old Lady Bian drink so much.

"Mother-in-law actually has such a huge appetite?" Zhu Qing'an said, standing up and pouring another bowl for her mother-in-law.

No wonder everyone drank from wine bottles at the beginning, except for Old Lady Bian who switched to a big bowl as she drank. She must have been not satisfied with the drink.

"Since Madam Bian likes to drink it, I will definitely make a few more jars of medicinal wine for her! I guarantee it will not harm her body!" Yang Chaoyan said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Miss Yang!" Old Madam Bian didn't say too many polite words, she just said, "If Miss Yang needs my help in the future, just let me know!"

Yang Chaoyan smiled and nodded. She now had so many backers, and just the Queen Zhu Qing'an was enough for her to gain a foothold in Ancheng, but she was still very grateful for Madam Bian's kindness.

"I like it!" Old Lady Bian and the Queen Mother drank a lot, but compared to the Queen Mother who savored the wine slowly, Old Lady Bian drank one bowl after another.

Although Mrs. Bian was not drunk, she was a little confused. She suddenly called out to Zhong Yi who was drinking and chatting with everyone.

Zhong Yi raised her eyes and sat next to the old lady.

"What are your plans for your marriage with Prime Minister Song?" asked Old Lady Bian.

In fact, Old Lady Bian seldom interfered in the affairs of the younger generation, especially marriage. Even her own son, no matter how old he was, had not yet married, but Old Lady Bian never intervened. At most, she would nag him a few times.

She mentioned it on New Year's Eve, firstly because she hadn't drunk alcohol for many years, and secondly because she treated Zhong Yi as her own daughter. Now she saw Zhong Yi and Song Nian going in and out together, but there was not even a proposal of marriage, so she was a little worried.

Although Zhong Yi looks powerful and majestic, Old Lady Bian knows that she is a simple-minded girl. If Song Nian really wants to bully her, she will not be his opponent.

"Yes, next year will be a good year, and I also hope there will be many good things!" The Queen Mother also agreed with a smile.

Zhong Yi was a little at a loss after hearing what the two elders said. At this time, Song Nian, who was sitting next to Bian Jingsheng, stood up.

"Empress Dowager, Madam Bian, I have long wanted to marry Zhong Yi! But the betrothal gift is really meager..." Song Nian's gentle face was full of smiles and apologies.

"No wonder you were settling the family business a few days ago. It turns out you were preparing the betrothal gifts!" Bian Jingsheng patted Song Nian's shoulder, his tone full of relief.

Song Nian is not like Bian Jingsheng. He does not have an outstanding family background and was just a teacher before. If it were not for Bian Jingsheng's keen eye for talent, Song Nian would not have had the good fortune he has today.

However, even though he had been appointed Prime Minister, he was very honest and his family was very poor, so he could not afford a decent betrothal gift. This was why Song Nian had never mentioned the engagement. He was really short of money, which was laughable.

If Old Lady Bian hadn't mentioned it today, Song Nian would have probably continued to put it on hold. He was also a normal man. He loved Zhong Yi sincerely and naturally hoped that Zhong Yi could have a grand wedding.

"You..." Zhong Yi looked at Song Nian, complaining in his tone, "Do I care about those people?"

She never knew that Song Nian had been secretly worried about these things. In fact, she had never worried too much about their marriage. She just felt that as long as they loved each other, marriage and nothing else mattered. She didn't even care about the wedding.

She even envied Zhu Qing'an because Zhu Qing'an didn't want a grand wedding, but still lived a good life.

"I know you don't care, but I hope that what others have, you have too!" Song Nian insisted.

Looking at Song Nian's attitude, Old Lady Bian knew that Song Nian was not deliberately trying to woo Zhong Yi, and she felt relieved.

"Prime Minister Song..."

"Old lady, just call me Song Nian!" Song Nian said respectfully.

He was no stranger to Old Madam Bian. In those years, he always accompanied Bian Jingsheng back to the Prince of Loyalty's Mansion to celebrate the New Year, and Old Madam Bian was even very close to him.

"Song Nian, I'm very pleased to know that you have Zhong Yi in your heart and are concerned about this marriage! Just like Zhong Yi said, betrothal gifts and other things are empty. As long as you live up to Zhong Yi for the rest of your life, that is more important than anything else!" Old Lady Bian advised.

Song Nian nodded slightly, and the Queen Mother also spoke at this time, "Young people, you must hold on to the happiness in your hands!"

Zhong Yi looked at Song Nian with a determined look in her eyes. She was determined to marry Song Nian in this life! Of course, it didn't matter if they didn't get married, because she only liked Song Nian.

At this time, Song Nian also felt Zhong Yi's full love. He also knew that he was narrow-minded. He always wanted to give Zhong Yi the best, but forgot what Zhong Yi wanted most.

"When the time comes, I hope the Queen Mother and the old lady can give me some advice. I really don't know the slightest bit about marriage!" Song Nian said very humbly.

"Of course. I treat Zhongyi as my daughter. I will personally arrange your marriage. Please don't despise me!" Old Lady Bian was very happy.

Zhong Yi and Song Nian both have no parents and no relatives. It is because of this that Mrs. Bian has to take care of all the matters.

"I couldn't ask for more!" Song Nian bowed.

The Queen Mother also smiled and nodded, "When the time comes, I will officiate your wedding!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Song Nian and Zhong Yi hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

There has always been a process of witnessing the wedding in the wedding ceremony, and the witness is always a person of high status and power to add color to the wedding.

However, there has never been a case where the empress dowager of the current dynasty served as a witness at a wedding. This is a great honor, not to mention that Song Nian and Zhong Yi admired the empress dowager from the bottom of their hearts.

When mentioning Zhong Yi and Song Nian's marriage, the Queen Mother couldn't help but think of the other two people present.

"Bai Wei, your wedding with Second Young Master Shui will be coming soon next year, right?" asked the Queen Mother.

Zhu Baiwei nodded slightly. Although Shui Tingfeng was just the son of a businessman, he did not seem to be struggling at all when he entered the palace and even accompanied so many powerful people. He did not even have a trace of inferiority. Instead, he seemed to be at ease.

This is because Shui Tingfeng himself has a very calm and open mind, and also because he was well educated in Shuifu. Another point is that Shui Tingfeng has seen all kinds of people since he was a child and has a certain amount of experience.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Bai Wei and I will get married in the early spring of next year. By then, the Queen will surely give birth to a prince. I dare to say that if the Queen Mother and the Queen can send Bai Wei to marry, I will be very grateful! After all, Bai Wei is marrying down to me. If she has your support, Bai Wei will surely be in great glory! And Queen Mother, you have been the witness for the Prime Minister's wedding, so you can't be partial!" Shui Tingfeng pleaded with a smile.

Although the Queen Mother knew that her niece Zhu Baiwei was engaged, she did not ask too many questions. Now, when she saw Shui Tingfeng, she nodded repeatedly and was very satisfied.

Shui Tingfeng is not only handsome, but also has a measured manner of conversation. Even when facing himself, he can act like a junior and be intimate.

"Since I can bring honor to you, I will naturally go there in person. After all, Bai Wei is also my niece!" The Queen Mother agreed.

When Qu heard this, he was overjoyed!

Although she didn't care about empty things, but with the Queen Mother sending her off for marriage, no one would dare to look down on her daughter when she arrived in Lingzhou.

"You made a good choice as a son-in-law!" The Queen Mother looked at Qu and expressed her approval in her words.

Compared to Shui Shiyu in the past, the Queen Mother naturally likes Qu more, because she is not a troublemaker and is sober enough. Now that Qu is in the backyard of the Marquis Wen'an Mansion, the Queen Mother no longer has to worry about a fire in the backyard of the Marquis Wen'an Mansion.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Qu smiled, but she was proud in her heart.

After all, the Queen Mother was very good at judging people. Her words showed that Shui Tingfeng was someone who could be trusted, and her daughter would definitely not waste half her life like herself.
