The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 177 New Year’s greetings

The first day of the first lunar month.

Last night, they stayed up late to celebrate the New Year. It was the first time for Seya to celebrate the New Year in the palace, and she dragged the two of them along to play until very late.

The three girls went to sleep directly in Jingyan's room, and were woken up before dawn today to pay their respects to their elders.

Fortunately, the joy of the New Year supported Jingyan, and he got up thanks to the attraction of receiving New Year's money today.

After Jingyan, Qing'er and Seya finished washing up, they went to pay their respects to the old Buddha. After saying a lot of auspicious words, they successfully received a thick red envelope from the old Buddha.

Then he would go to the Yangxin Palace to attend the emperor's opening ceremony.

After the opening ceremony was over, Jingyan and a group of princes and princesses sent their blessings.

The emperor was very happy: "Yan'er, I received a congratulatory card from your father last night. He will definitely be back before the Lantern Festival."

Jingyan was very happy to hear this. She hadn't seen them for a long time and she missed them very much. The most important thing was that when her father and mother came back, she would be able to see her brother's wedding!

Next, the Buddha was ready, and everyone went to offer sacrifices together. After the series of rituals were completed, they could have breakfast.

The first meal of the New Year is vegetarian dumplings, called 饽饽.

After eating, the younger generations can completely let themselves go.

Jingyan first went to the emperor to receive her New Year's money, and then went to pay New Year's greetings to the empress, and also received a thick red envelope.

Touching the bulging bag in his arms, Jingyan roughly estimated that each one was worth at least a few hundred taels.

The emperor gave her more as a reward, because she asked him for an extra one, using the excuse that her father was not around, so her uncle, as her brother, would give her another one on behalf of her father.

Jingyan kowtowed three times to the emperor and successfully received a red envelope from the emperor, who handed it to him with his teeth bared.

Jingyan happily walked back holding the red envelope, and met Yongheng halfway.

"Jing Yan! How can you have one more red seal than me!"

Yongheng had just gone around and collected some red envelopes, and was planning to give them all to Qing'er.

The New Year's money Yongheng got carried the blessings of his elders and had excellent meanings. He planned to give it all to Qing'er to bring her good luck.

But he only got three, and the four shining ones in Jingyan's hand successfully stung his eyes.

Jingyan put the red envelope behind his back and stretched out a hand: "Brother, Happy New Year! I wish you a happy New Year and that you can marry Qing'er soon."

Jingyan's words touched Yongheng's heart. He chuckled and said, "If you can always be so sweet-mouthed, I will definitely be the best brother in the world."

Seeing Yongheng just enjoying himself and having beautiful thoughts, Jingyan stretched out his hand again: "What good things are you thinking about now? Lucky money!"

Yongheng pursed his lips, knowing that his sister's sudden friendly attitude towards him had a purpose.

He reluctantly rummaged through his pockets for a long time and pulled out a red envelope.

Jingyan had a sweet smile on his face, but his movements were like a bandit, and he snatched the red envelope very quickly and neatly.

"Hmm? One?"

Very thin.

Jingyan stared at Yongheng with a hint of suspicion. This shouldn't be the case. After saving up all the New Year's money for so many years, this shouldn't be the only one.

Yongheng snorted coldly: "You don't trust your brother at all? It's a trick!"

Amid Yongheng's roar, Jingyan ran back to the Cining Palace excitedly.

She secretly crawled under the bed curtain, intending to immerse herself in opening the red envelopes. The imperial aunt gave her three hundred taels, the imperial uncle gave her one packet of three hundred taels and one packet of five hundred taels, and the Empress Dowager gave her five hundred taels.

And her brother, her biological brother, actually gave her two thousand taels!

This is really his real brother. Jingyan happily hugged the red envelope, tears of emotion flowing from the corners of his mouth.

At this time, Xiao Xizi came quietly to report: "Princess, Princess, General Fu is here to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager."

Hearing that Fu Ling'an was coming, Jing Yan hurriedly put away the red envelope, took the New Year's gift she had packed in advance, and walked towards the main hall.

The old lady was chatting with Fu Ling'an. I don't know what Fu Ling'an said, but it made the old lady laugh heartily.

Yongheng and Qing'er were also there.

Seeing Jingyan coming, the old Buddha said: "Someone will come to pay respects to my family later, so I won't keep you here. You guys can go out and have some fun."

Jingyan and Fu Lingan were walking together on the palace road. He had taken time out to come here as the ministers would go to offer sacrifices with the emperor later.

Fu Lingan asked with a smile: "Did you have a good harvest this morning?"

Jingyan's face was filled with joy, and it was obvious that this money-grubber had received quite a few red envelopes.

Sure enough, Jing Yan immediately smiled happily: "Yes, my brother actually gave me a red envelope of two thousand taels. It's unbelievable, right?"

It seems that he has really saved her New Year's money over the years.

After saying that, Jingyan looked around. Fortunately, they had tacitly parted ways as soon as they left the Cining Palace.

After hearing this, Fu Ling'an was completely relieved and took out a red envelope from his arms.

"The princess's future husband is presented to her."

Jingyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Fu Lingan also prepared New Year's money. Hehe, it was full and it looked very reassuring.

After taking the red envelope, Jingyan handed over the scroll he had been holding.

"You should have guessed it. I'll give it to you as a New Year's gift. Wait until you get home and read it!"

Jingyan quickly stopped Fu Lingan's hand from opening it. She felt ashamed to admire it in front of him.

Fu Lingan smiled knowingly and withdrew his hand.

On the other side, Yongheng handed over the red envelope he received today like presenting a treasure, and also took out most of his own wealth and gave it all to Qing'er.

Qing'er was a little surprised: "Why are there so many?"

Yongheng smiled shyly: "I got this this morning when I was paying New Year's greetings. I haven't opened it yet. Look, this is the New Year's money I gave you."

I have prepared New Year’s money for Jingyan, so how can I not prepare some for his future wife?

Looking at Qing'er's rosy little face, Yongheng wished he could marry Qing'er immediately.

I think he needs to prepare in advance, and it would be best if he could get married as soon as his father comes back.

The two of them hid in the Plum Garden together to open the red envelopes. Yongheng gave Qing'er a full six thousand taels. Qing'er was a little shocked, "I can't use so much even if you give me so much."

Yongheng was a little anxious: "Oh, go buy some jewelry, or go shopping with Jingyan. Buy whatever you want. I don't have much wealth now, so don't think it's too little. Every penny I earn in the future will be yours."

Yongheng said, and took out a warm jade pendant from his arms: "And this, I asked my father to send it to me a few days ago. It's the best warm jade. Wear it, it's good for a girl's health."

Qing'er had seen this jade pendant on Jingyan.

"Are this one and Yan'er's a couple?"

Yongheng nodded: "Yes, Jingyan and I will each have one. She will keep hers for herself, and I will give mine to my future wife."

Qing'er didn't know what she was thinking about, she chuckled: "Then Yan'er and I are a couple."

"?" Yongheng hurriedly stopped him: "You can't think like that, oh, we are a couple."

Seeing Yongheng's anxious look, Qing'er burst out laughing, and no longer refused Yongheng's kindness, and put on the jade pendant.

Thinking of this, Qing'er took out the pendant she had been wearing.

"This is what my father and mother left for me. You must take good care of it."

Yongheng took it carefully, then chuckled as a thought occurred to him: "Is this considered exchanging a token of love?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qing'er's face turned red instantly. What a guy, he dared to say anything.

Looking at Qing'er's blushing face, Yongheng just thought she was beautiful.

He wished he could write a letter every day to urge his father to come quickly, but he didn't know when he would be able to win the beauty.
