Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 453: New Year's Eve

On New Year’s Eve, Li Wei said that he did not survive the illness and spent the entire day in the warm pavilion of Chongqing Palace. She was painting a flower and bird painting from morning till night, but unfortunately the first few drafts were not very satisfactory, and several sheets of paper were wasted in a row. Finally, by the fifth draft, she was finally satisfied, but the painting was extremely slow, most of the day. It's not finished yet.

"Mother, painting is really boring and not fun. I will never learn this again." It is the third time that Shu Jia ran in to see how the progress was.

Li Wei patiently said to her: "In fact, no matter what you do, you have to be able to calm down. You can't calm down, and you can't do anything well. Whether it's painting, playing chess, or studying medicine, it's all Be focused and be patient."

Caizhi came in to teach Shujia the introductory knowledge of medical sciences, and asked her to recite the soup song. But Shujia felt that it was boring to learn those things honestly, so she gave up after less than two months and said that it was boring to study medicine. , And never picked it up again.

Li Wei originally thought that children were not qualitative, and the freshness of new and novel things was only three minutes of enthusiasm. What was the real hobby required constant experimentation, but then she realized that Shu Jia was actually more impatient and somewhat sitting. I can't help it, I can't do anything well. Now she has also changed her education strategy. The first thing she must give to Shujia is to be able to calm down and concentrate on one thing.

Shujia glanced at the content of the painting and smiled: "Queen, your painting is really good. This peacock is very beautiful, the feathers feel like real, and this hibiscus flower..."

Li Wei quickly corrected: "It's not Lotus, it's actually Peony. How can you think of it as Lotus?"

"It's almost the same, so I admitted it wrong."

Li Wei thought that there was a big difference between the two.

It was warm in the room, and many candles were lit and it felt very bright. Li Wei asked Shujia to sit on her lap, and she carefully explained to Shujia how to compose the picture, how to match colors, how to start writing, and so on. Na Shujia, who was still very interested in listening at first, became bored later, sitting on Li Wei's body and twisting her body a little restlessly. Had it not been for Li Wei's arm around her, I'm afraid he would have gone to play long ago.

The mother and daughter were talking about painting under the light, the door was pushed open, and another little man came in. Li Wei heard the movement and looked up, but saw that it was Fuguang. She then put Shujia down.

"The emperor is here."

Fu Guang quickly saluted with Li Wei.

"The mother's queen hasn't shown up today, and the children came to accompany the mother's queen. At least we must stay together."

Li Wei smiled and said: "If the kids stay up all night, go to bed later. Tomorrow you have to get up early and receive greetings from Baiguan."

Having children in front of them can best mobilize their enthusiasm, and in a short while the room is full of laughter.

Lan Hui and Qingxiang walked by the window, and Lan Hui and Qingxiang said, "It's been a few days now, it looks like it has finally cleared after rain."

Haruka also said, "Yes, it's the second year after tonight. Nothing unpleasant can bring the next year. The queen mother has suffered a lot of grievances this time."

Lan Hui said hurriedly: "It's better to talk less about the master's matter. Besides, even if there is something, our servants won't be of much help, and we have to make trouble for the master."

Qingxiang smiled: "Sister Wansu's story is still vivid, and I don't need you to say that I know it."

The less you know about these secrets in the palace, the better, otherwise you don't know how to die in the end.

Shujia and Fuguang make good friends, and Fuguang is slightly longer than Shujia. Sometimes Li Wei would think that it might be okay without her, Fu Guang would definitely take good care of this half-sister, and their brother and sister would stay in harmony.

The siblings accompany Li Wei to speak, and time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is almost three shifts. Shujia obviously can't stand it anymore, her eyelids droop and she yawns.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei said to Shujia: "Xiao Jiu, go to sleep."

But Shujia stretched out her hand to ask Li Wei: "The queen hasn't paid the new year's money yet."

Fu Guang laughed at her: "The New Year's Eve money is only given on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Sister, if you kowtow to the mother and the queen tomorrow morning, the queen will reward you, so what is your hurry."

Li smiled and said, "Yeah, let's go to sleep tomorrow. Obediently, go to bed first. After a while, firecrackers will blast, I'm afraid that I can't sleep well."

Li Wei asked the nurse to take Shujia down, and Fu Guang stayed there. He even went to the shelf to fetch a book and sit under the lamp to read it. It is a tome, and it will take several days to finish it. It seems that I was planning to stay up late with my mother.

"It's getting late, the emperor should also go back to Hanyuan Hall."

"The queen is warm here, so I like to stay here." Fu Guang said and raised his eyes to Li Wei, and said with a smile: "The queen, don't drive me away, I will be quiet and quiet, unlike my younger sister. "

Li Wei walked over and said gently: "Fool, I am not afraid of your noise, but I am worried that if you don't sleep well, you won't be able to eat it tomorrow. There are still several important things tomorrow, right?"

"Well, we must have an altar to honor the heavens and the earth, and open a temple to comfort our ancestors. The officials came to congratulate them."

"There are so many arrangements. It's all laborious. Let's take a rest early. I don't plan to be struggling. I'm going to sleep soon."

Fu Guang said in surprise: "You don't guard your age, queen mother?"

"Can't stand it anymore, don't keep it. Tomorrow the women will come in and salute."

Li Wei persuaded him for a while, and Fu Guang finally got rid of the need to stay with his mother all night, so he told goodnight and retired.

The sedan chair outside is already waiting.

Just now the two little guys were noisy when they were in front of them, and now they are quiet again. Li Wei put the thick book back in its place. He opened the door and looked up at the sky. The darker and darker sky did not even have a star.

The cold wind came, messing up the broken hair around her ears and touching her face. She stretched out her hand to take care of it.

It will be a year soon after returning.

The first emperor had just left for a year, and even if he encountered such a New Year, he didn't celebrate it. The palace seemed deserted and deserted this evening. But there was the sound of firecrackers from far away, that is, ordinary people are busy saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Li Wei stood alone under the palace lantern, listening to the distant firecrackers, she still missed the countless New Year's Eve spent there.

When I first worked, I was too busy to pass the year, and I would turn to the program on New Year’s Eve, and the rest was after the Lantern Festival. But the New Year that impressed her most was when she was with her family. There was a Spring Festival Gala, there was a delicious New Year's Eve dinner made by Liu Chunzhi, the fireworks bought by the elder brother, and the second elder brother was always by her side, showing the way to the confused her and portraying her future.

Li Wei looked at the night sky and said in his heart: Second brother, I miss you very much. how are you recently?
