On Chinese New Year's Eve, Ji Ning's small family can be regarded as happy.

That morning, Lin Juaner had to go back to her brother and sister-in-law very early to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and she would wait until it was dark to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner before returning, which made it easier for Yuling to do "bad things".

After sending Lin Juan'er away, Yu Ling closed the door, and the first thing she did was to hurry over to wash, and then tiptoed open the door of Ji Ning's room, took off the down jacket she had just made outside, and even loosened her gown, just wearing a very small obscene clothes and pants to drill Ye Fan's bed.

When Ji Ning woke up in a feeling that was sometimes warm and sometimes cold, Xiao Yuling was still doing her thing seriously, and Xiao Nizi was meticulous when she did anything.

"So early?" Ji Ning raised his head, leaned on the soft pillow, and looked at Xiao Nizi's pretty face, which was still slightly red.

"Uh-huh." Yu Ling pursed her lips, the strength of her little hand was greater, and every time she moved, she would look at Ji Ning, and from Ji Ning's gaze, she would find out if the force she was using was appropriate.

Ji Ning pinched her little face and said, "What a little monster, I will definitely learn badly in the future!" ”

"Well, no...... Hmmm......"

Yu Ling wanted to say something, but soon Ji Ning made her speechless, and after a long time, she pouted and raised her head, and said angrily, "Young master is really bad!" ”

It is rare for the master and servant to have such a warm time in the capital, after a long time, even the birds outside seem to be impatient to wait, Yu Lingcai closed her mouth, got up, just casually put the down jacket on her body, and went to the door, out of the door, she realized what was wrong, and quickly found Bujuan over, first wiped Ji Ning clean before leaving, that attentive appearance, also made Ji Ning distressed.

Ji Ning pinched her little face, Yu Ling looked up at Ji Ning with disgust, and pointed at his mouth with his finger, meaning that there was something inside that couldn't speak.

It wasn't until she finished her own thing that she went out, and after a long time, she came back again, got into the quilt again, leaned on Ji Ning's arms, and felt the warmth of Ji Ning's arms.

"Young master, you are so bad, you bully others every time!" Yu Ling was coquettish in Ji Ning's arms.

"I really don't know who is bad, did Young Master Ben allow you to enter the room this morning?" Ji Ning deliberately said with a straight face.

"Hmph, the young master doesn't appreciate it, isn't Juan'er not here today, it's rare that she's not there, she can be diligent in and out on weekdays, if she sees it...... Oops, that's going to be a shame! ”

After Yu Ling finished shyly, he buried his little head in Ji Ning's arms, and in the winter morning, the master and servant both felt the warmth.

It wasn't until three o'clock after the sun that Ji Ning got up and was dressed by Yu Ling, which was the last day of the year and an ordinary day before Ji Ning rushed to the exam.

Ji Ning was not ready to go out on this day, because he had already prepared everything for the New Year a few days in advance.

"Young master, look at it, there seems to be a mouse!" Yu Ling only went to the kitchen once, and came over to know that Ji Ning had some grievances.

Ji Ning said: "After all, this is not our home in Jinling City, there is no way to use it, you clean up more, we will prepare briefly at noon, and when Juan'er comes back in the afternoon, let her prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with you!" ”

"Hmph, Juan'er went back to her brother and sister-in-law's house for the New Year, and she left the two of us here, she is bad, and the young master still hurts her so much on weekdays, so she is not worth the pain!" After Yu Ling finished speaking, he angrily went to prepare the meal, but at this time he didn't know whether to prepare breakfast or lunch.

……

On New Year's Day, the emperor finally reconvened the court meeting after nearly three months of leaving the court.

Zhao Yuanrong, as a princess, was originally not qualified to enter the palace for an audience, but because it was a big court meeting that day, and it also involved celebrating the New Year for the emperor, Zhao Yuanrong was allowed to enter the palace.

Still at the palace gate, Zhao Yuanrong saw a familiar figure, which was her brother, the crown prince Zhao Yuangeng.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhao Yuangeng seems to be overly drunk, and wherever he goes, he seems to be staggering and unable to stand, but there will still be people next to him to salute.

The crown prince is the prince of a country, and among the imperial heirs, only Zhao Yuangeng is left among the princes, Zhao Yuangeng's ascension to the throne seems to be a sure thing, except for Zhao Yuangeng, the only one who can threaten the crown prince is the fifth prince Zhao Yuancheng, and Zhao Yuancheng is also in the list of people who enter the palace at this time.

Because Zhao Yuangeng and Zhao Yuancheng entered the palace at the same time, the ministers of civil and military affairs present were very careful and deliberately did not get too close to either side of the party, because it involved a power struggle, and if they were not careful, they might cause fire**.

Zhao Yuanrong is so lonely here, she doesn't need others to come over to have a relationship with her, she just wants to see how shameless those who tend to be inflammatory.

"While getting close to the prince, and greeting the five princes, there are really a lot of duplicities in the court, they never thought that no matter whether the prince ascends the throne or the fifth prince ascends the throne, they will not be allowed to turn back?" Zhao Yuanrong was thinking about it, and the two of them came over in the distance.

The two of them grew much older, and although others saluted from afar when they saw them, no one dared to come forward to greet them.

These two, one is King Hui and the other is King Chong.

is also a prince, or the brother of the Son of Heaven, others naturally know the status of these two in the court, but others also know that these two people have no chance to touch the throne, for the prince of the outer seal, they must deliberately keep a distance, so as not to be reported to the emperor by the imperial historian, thinking that they have fornicated with foreign ministers.

After King Chong and King Hui came over, only a few top ministers from Zhongshu Province dared to go up to say hello, and everyone else just stood aside.

It was not until near noon that the noon gate was opened, and several ministers entered the palace from the noon gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, passed through the Fengtian Gate all the way, and then passed the wide open space outside the Fengtian Palace, until they reached the Fengtian Palace, the main hall of the palace.

In the imposing palace, there are more than 240 officials who will enter the palace in the great dynasty, which is only the number of officials above the fifth rank in Beijing, among these people, there is an inconspicuous little person, that is, at the end of the crowd, the official is the fourth grade, but in fact, it is Li Jing, the prefect of Jinling, who is the minister of foreign sealing.

Li Jing entered the palace as an official who entered the capital for the big examination, and among all the foreign ministers who entered the capital, he was the only one who was qualified to enter the palace for the audience, and it was mainly because the emperor rewarded him for his merits in escorting the oracle bone inscription before.

The oracle bone inscription was safely sent back to Beijing, although it was the prince's credit, but Li Jing also protected and escorted it, and was reported to the emperor by the prince, who appreciated Li Jing and was ready to leave Li Jing in the household department.

But because Li Jing has not yet been officially sealed, he only entered the palace as the prefect of Jinling.
