In the past, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had arranged every year, and the vacant rooms in the apse were vacated for officials and ladies to change their clothes.

Now it is naturally laid out, most of the rooms are arranged for female dependents, although there is no fire wall inside, there are also several charcoal basins, warm.

The palace maids and chamberlains are waiting at the door, and they just shout if they need to.

Warm tea and snacks were also served on the table.

At the previous feast, this kind of feast, the weather is cold, what can you eat? At the moment, the tea and snacks in the changing room look good.

There were a few hungry women, who tried to taste a few bites, but they could still eat and were still fresh, so they were busy eating a few and drinking a hot tea, but they were not hungry.

The other ladies saw it, thinking that there would be a first birthday banquet for the Nine Emperor Princes after noon, and they didn't know when the banquet would disperse, and it was certain that they wouldn't be able to eat anything.

At the moment, I can't take care of a lot, thinking that I can make a little cushion first, so that I can go home.

In this case, there are not enough snacks.

Someone asked the palace maid waiting at the door if she could send some snacks.

The palace maids were polite, and only let the ladies wait, saying that there would be snacks and hot soup to be sent later, so that the ladies would not be in a hurry.

Hearing that there was such an arrangement, the ladies were relieved.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for each female dependent to get a bowl of steaming white fungus lotus seed soup, sweet and silky, and a plate of snacks, which was enough for the female dependents who ate the same amount as cats.

The officials are the same, but there is no such sweet soup, only a bowl of extremely thick golden and jade porridge for each person, plus a nest head per person, with one or two side dishes.

Although it is not as decent as it looks at at the banquet, in this cold winter moment, such a bowl of porridge can be warmed up.

Everyone was eating, while pondering, this is a treatment that has not been in previous years, in previous years, everyone participated in the New Year's Day welcome banquet, and went home.

It is estimated that the top of the family also knows that they don't eat well, but they are quite caring, so that they don't go hungry for a day.

If there is a clever one, I inquired, saying that this was ordered by the queen mother, saying that the weather is cold, and all the adults and ladies will participate in the first birthday banquet of the Nine Emperor Princes, I am afraid that they will have to wait a little longer, and let everyone cushion this little thing.

For a while, the apse was full of the voice of chanting Buddha and thanking the queen.

There are a few people, who are used to eating in brocade clothes and jade, where can they see these, and I heard that it was ordered by the queen's mother, and they originally wanted to eat, but their faces changed, and they were disliked and thrown aside.

At this moment, when I heard everyone thinking about the queen's goodness, I couldn't help muttering a few words, what kind of small favors, small favors, small means, buying people's hearts or something.

These people, everyone can understand at a glance, they are all closely following the eldest prince and the second prince recently, and they are naturally hostile to the queen, but they are also faceless.

No matter how bad it is, it is also the queen, and today is the first birthday banquet of the Nine Emperors, this is still in the palace, it is so blatant, and the arrogance of the eldest prince and the second prince is also a little stronger.

Gu Changqing held the porridge bowl in one hand and the nest head in the other, and sat in the corner without speaking.

It was Song Hong, who also came over with a bowl of porridge, and whispered, "Did you hear that?" A few clowns who jumped off the beam have only been majestic for a few days, but they don't know how thick the sky is. ”

Gu Changqing raised his eyelids and said slowly: "It's just a dog fighting people!" ”

He and Song Hong, as well as the thousand-year-old fox, felt that something was wrong as soon as they entered this Baohe Hall today.

In the past half a day, the eldest prince and the second prince, as well as the virtuous concubine and the concubine, the performance is called a high-profile, and those who don't know still think that this virtuous concubine and concubine are the queen, and they simply don't put the queen sitting on the top in their eyes.

The attitude of the partial emperor has always been vague, although he saved face for the queen and the nine princes, but it was so ambiguous and unclear, and he did not reprimand the virtuous concubine and the concubine, but let the two factions of the eldest prince and the second prince give hope again.

I don't know what the emperor wants, but they have gone through several dynasties, so naturally they will not bet easily, and they are all sitting very low-key at the moment, waiting to see the end.

Even so, looking at the subordinates of the eldest prince and the second prince, they really haven't done much, they all jumped so high, and they are not afraid of breaking their legs in the future!

After Song Hong handed over the secret guard, he was sent by the emperor to be busy for a long time, and his body is now much worse than in previous years.

A few traces of mottling can already be seen in the hair, and the person has also lost some weight, and the official robe that has always fitted is worn on the body, but now it actually feels a little swaying.

It doesn't look as good as before.

Gu Changqing reminded in the end: "Wei Guogong looks a lot thinner, and now he is also the age to know the destiny of heaven, so it is time to take care of himself and rest, why are you still working so hard?" ”

Song Hong smiled bitterly, his body naturally knows best, and when it comes to winter, it is difficult to endure every day. Especially like today, after sitting in the Baohe Hall for a long time, the door of the hall is open, and the wind naturally pours into it.

Although there is a charcoal basin, the body is still wrapped in a fox fur, and occasionally a hint of wind blows into the clothes, and it burrows into the bones.

When he went out today, he had already taken the painkillers prescribed by Du Zhongjing, otherwise he would not have been able to support it for a long time.

Hearing Gu Changqing say this, he had to say casually: "In the end, it's not as good as Lord Gu, the children in the family are all angry, so you don't have to worry about it." The few people in my family who are not angry, and I have to be a father, and I will last a few years in front. ”

Gu Changqing doesn't like to listen to this, with a son like Song Chongjin and a daughter-in-law like Wang Yongzhu, he Song Hong is still not satisfied?

The few who didn't make it were all born by his aunt, and Jin Zun raised them noblely at the beginning, raising these wastes, who is to blame?

I haven't seen him plan for Song Chongjin like this? Deserve!

Therefore, Gu Changqing snorted coldly and turned his head.

Song Hong saw Gu Changqing like this, where he still didn't understand, he has always been extremely proud, if it was in the past, Gu Changqing was like this, he would have to shake his face and walk away.

But today's stakes are very high, so he took a deep breath before saying, "I don't know what the situation of Chongjin and them is in Chicheng County now?" Although the negotiation went well, he was young and there was no adult elder to guide him—" but with a worried face.

Speaking of this, Gu Changqing turned his head again, and said lukewarmly: "I value that Jin kid is very measured, over the years, he has been alone over there without elders watching, I think he has done a good job, and he is also very good among the younger generation." I think it's better for you, a father, to take care of less, but don't care too much, and manage my good nephew and son-in-law into the character of the second son and the third son in your mansion——"

That's really not an excuse.

No matter how good Song Hong's temperament is, he is going to explode, this is pointing at his nose and scolding him, how can he bear it?

What's more, he's not good in the first place! At that moment, his face was blank, and he said coldly: "In the end, this is also my Song family's business, and it is better for Master Gu to be less involved-"

After speaking, he slammed the porridge bowl in his hand to Gu Changqing's hand and brushed his sleeves away.

The action was too big, and the porridge in the porridge bowl was splashed on Gu Changqing's hands, but fortunately, it had been half a day, and the porridge was only warm, and it didn't burn anyone.

Gu Changqing had a cold face, took out a handkerchief, wiped the porridge on his hands first, and then wiped the residual soup spilled on the table, lost his appetite to drink porridge, and pushed the two porridge bowls aside neatly, and motioned for the waiter at the door to come in, and took away the porridge bowl and the handkerchief together.
