Seeing empress dowager Yan's absent-minded appearance, the close maid cleared her hands and stood beside empress Yan. Bending over, she gathered the fine white fluffy blanket on her legs and whispered: "Empress dowager, on New Year's Eve, even if your majesty and the ninth Lord are back, they will go to patrol the camp. They must talk to the soldiers for a while. Why don't the Empress Dowager pad her stomach with some bird's nest porridge?"
"No..." Empress Dowager Yan rubbed the stove cover embroidered with green bamboo in her arms, exhaled a long breath, and took out her handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Empress dowager, this is to think of the first emperor." Empress Dowager Yan's personal maid also blushed. She knew that the Empress Dowager and the first emperor had a deep relationship.
"On this day in previous years, the former Emperor always accompanied me. He always took me by surprise and gave me some gadgets to make me happy. The former Emperor always said that the Treasury was difficult, so he could only give me some worthless gadgets, but... Anu, I was very happy. Whatever he gave me, it showed that I had me in my heart! I was really happy..."
Remembering all the things she had with Murong Yu, Empress Dowager Yan burst into tears. She wished she could go with Murong Yu now, but if she left, no one would control ah Yan. If he had other thoughts, her children couldn't cope at all.
Empress Dowager Yan knew that although she didn't have any great skills, Murong Yan always respected her sister-in-law. With her... Ah Yan wouldn't have no scruples.
"Anu, do you think ah Yan won't come back for new year's Eve? After all, it's new year's Eve. The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is pregnant with his bones and blood. How important is ah Li and I to have his children?" Empress Dowager Yan felt a pain in her heart.
Just then, the little eunuch outside came in through the curtain and said after saluting: "empress dowager, your majesty and the ninth Lord are coming here!"
Empress Dowager Yan quickly touched tears with her handkerchief, stood up with Anu's hand and smiled happily: "go quickly and let several people greet you with lights. It's snowy today... Let your majesty and the ninth Lord be careful of the slippery road!"
"Yes!"
"Go and warm a pot of fruit honey made by Meng Zhaorong himself. The apricot nectar has a fragrant aroma. Ah Li can drink two even though he is young! Let ah Yan taste Meng Zhaorong's craft." Empress Dowager Yan smiled.
"Ah!" Anu answered and turned to warm the fruit honey.
Murong Li and Murong Yan came in with a chill and took off their cloak. Then they came forward to salute empress dowager Yan.
"My son has seen a Niang! A Niang's New Year!"
"Ah Yan met his sister-in-law! Happy new year, sister-in-law!"
Seeing Murong Yan, who had taken off her mask, smiling, as if she hadn't cared about what she said before, Empress Dowager Yan was reassured.
She turned her head and looked at Anu, a close maid. Anu quickly smiled and brought up a painted bamboo square plate painted with red paint and gold, in which there were two red purses, one embroidered with a golden dragon and the other embroidered with a golden python.
Empress Dowager Yan picked up the purse embroidered with golden dragon from the tray, smiled and said to Murong Li, "ah Li, this is the lucky purse given to you by ah Niang. In the coming year... Continue to work hard to be a good emperor who will not disappoint your father and your ninth uncle!"
Murong Li came forward to take the purse and said with a smile, "my son will also be a good emperor who can reassure a Niang and the people."
Empress Dowager Yan smiled and nodded, took the purse embroidered with golden Python in the tray, smiled and looked at Murong Yan: "ah Yan, you were not at home on New Year's Eve in previous years. Your brother always prepared a lucky red envelope for you and said to give it to you when you came back! This year... Ah Yan is in the state of Yan for the new year, but your brother..."
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Yan's voice choked and her eyes turned red again. She forced herself to hold her emotions and smiled with Murong Yan: "so this new year's red envelope, sister-in-law, give it to you! Don't take what sister-in-law said that day to heart. Sister-in-law's heart is too small, which hurt our ah Yan's heart."
"Sister-in-law, we don't talk about two families! When our teeth and tongues collide, ordinary people's relatives will quarrel, but because we were born in the royal family, we talk about family affairs... That's state affairs!" Murong Yan wanted to ease the atmosphere and looked down on the purse in Empress Dowager Yan's hand, "My sister-in-law ah Yan is already an adult! Won't you let Xiao ah Li laugh when you accept the new year's red envelope?"
Empress Dowager Yan was so amused that she burst out laughing: "he dares! Here with my sister-in-law... You will always be the child when my sister-in-law first met!"
Murong Yan was no longer polite. He came forward to receive the lucky New Year red envelope and solemnly thanked him.
"Empress dowager, your majesty and the ninth Lord, the food has been hot again and can be used!" Anu came forward to salute.
Murong Yan sat down in front of the round table and watched his sister-in-law keep putting vegetables on his and Murong Li's plates. He couldn't help thinking of Bai Qingyan
If Bai Qingyan hadn't asked him to come back for new year's Eve, he would have stayed in Dazhou to speak with Bai Qingyan. How sad it would have been if there was no brother with his sister-in-law on New Year's Eve the previous year. I'm not sure he would have more doubts that he would hand over Yan state to Bai Qingyan in the future, resulting in a deeper misunderstanding between Dazhou and him.
"Your brother said that this braised lion's head is a specialty of his mother. Ah Yan liked it most when he was a child. I made it according to the recipe left by his mother for the second time. I don't know how it tastes. Ah Yan, try it!" Empress Dowager Yan sandwiched a piece of fruit for Murong Yan and smiled and let him taste it.
When his mother was still a child, he always liked to make a lot of unheard of food for their brothers when dealing with the leisure of government. Later, after his mother left, he gradually forgot those tastes over time.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Murong Yan smiled.
Looking at the harmony between mother and uncle nine, Murong Li smiled more. This is what a family should be like.

The vast white snow fell all night, covering the double eaves and green tiles of Pingdu City with crystal white. Even the scorched ruins accumulated a thick layer of White Velvet snow on the top.
Bai Jinzhi got up early in the morning and came to Bai Qingyan for breakfast. She asked how the elder sister would go. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got outside the elder sister's door, the fifth brother mentioned the matter of letting her return to metropolis again.
She hurriedly motioned to Wei Zhong not to report, and put her ear on the carved partition fan to eavesdrop.
"From the end of February to the beginning of March, I will definitely go back before the palace test at the latest, so I will set out at the end of the first month and go back..." Bai Qingyan cleaned his hand, took Bai Qingyu a chopstick steamed cake, smiled and looked up at the door and said, "Xiao Si, come in and have breakfast, don't eavesdrop."
Bai Jinzhi lifted the blue gray curtain with cotton and came in, smiled and said, "I've just arrived. I haven't heard anything yet!"
With that, Bai Jinzhi went to the stove, put out his hand to bake the fire and cleaned his hands. Then he sat down at the round table. Wei Zhong added a set of dishes and chopsticks to Bai Jinzhi and filled her with a bowl of porridge. Then he stepped aside.
