Daybreak.
The palace is already very busy. His Highness has personally marched back to the palace from the border. Naturally, the maids and servants have to wait behind the Xuanri Gate before dawn.
This alone is nothing, but there are big things to be arranged in the palace in the past few days. After working hard for many days, and having to stay here all dressed up before dawn, it is naturally tiring.
The major event in the palace is naturally the upcoming New Year's Eve Ceremony.
This is not an ordinary invitation to immortals on a new year's day. This year is the occasion of Xiaojia's thirtieth year. Not only the palace, but the whole Siyang has to make arrangements.
Forget it, after this year's New Year's Ceremony, the ceremony for Empress Yin Fei to be conferred as a concubine was immediately followed.
It is really rare to be busy. Almost everyone in Yingchun Palace is extremely busy.
As soon as Xiao Hongdou returned to the Yingchun Palace, she was startled by the flustered atmosphere.
Not only the sisters in Yingchun Palace, but also Mi Niangniang looked like they had been busy for many days.
They had just welcomed His Highness back from the Xuanri Gate, and they were about to plunge into a bunch of arrangements. Even the air seemed very tense.
"Sister Sisi, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Little Hongdou grabbed the hem of her skirt and walked forward with a quick step.
Lu Sisi in front of her was holding a large flower pot, which was half filled with soil. This was used for decoration at the ceremony. Although there were dozens of pots, they were still very particular. The soil in each flower pot was I was brought all the way to Siyang from Bianzhou, where the flowers are grown, so I can't neglect it.
A flower pot filled with soil is naturally very heavy.
"you……"
Lu Sisi carefully placed the flowerpot in her hand on the ground, rubbed her shoulders, and looked up at Xiao Hongdou with some resentment:
"You! You are so willing to come back!"
Xiao Hongdou hurriedly lowered her head: "Sister Sisi is preparing for the grand ceremony in the Yingchun Palace, I think it must be hard..."
"That's not true, it's very hard work!"
Lu Sisi sighed, not hiding the dissatisfaction in her tone, and half-jokingly patted Xiao Hongdou: "Look, His Highness took you to Liangzhou to enjoy the snow and supervise the war. We who are not lucky are here in the palace. Moving flower pots and doing odd jobs is really irritating!"
"Where is the snow viewing..."
Xiao Hongdou was stunned for a moment, but what she thought of was the sight of His Highness killing the people with blood stained with frost and tears under the heavy snow.
Where could Lu Si think so easily?
She was about to say something, but when she saw Lu Sisi's face, she paused for a moment, swallowed the words in her stomach, and then said:
"Sister Sisi, you can't do it when others are angry with me. Otherwise, how can I give you the gift I brought you?"
"Gift?"
Lu Sisi's eyes brightened for a moment, and then quickly turned back to anger: "Did you mean to comfort your sister Sisi? In the past few days, you have to serve His Highness, and also the Grand Duke of Xia. Concubine Lian Chi is afraid that I also want you to follow me around, how can you still think of me?"
When she said this, Xiao Hongdou understood at least seventy-eight points, and understood that what Lu Sisi was really unhappy about was not just the matter of moving the flower pots, but that Empress Chi, who always kept her by her side, did not take her with her this time.
It was indeed an exception, just because this time Concubine Chi was not a concubine, but a doctor from Qiushui Villa. Maybe she had to coordinate a lot with Qiushui Villa before leaving, so she didn't think of specially arranging Lu Sisi's shift.
After thinking about this, Xiao Hongdou finally felt relieved and said: "Yes and no, I was indeed very busy. You also know that there are always more rules outside. If Concubine Chi hadn't mentioned you, I'm afraid I really forgot and will be beaten by you!"
"Concubine Chi talked about..."
As expected, Lu Sisi's eyebrows immediately showed a hint of joy, and then she slapped Xiao Hongdou angrily: "What are you talking about? How could I hit you? Don't talk nonsense in front of the queen."
The slightly stiff atmosphere finally relaxed, and a stone finally fell from Xiao Hongdou's heart.
But two questions immediately came to her mind.
The first question is, of course, if Lu Sisi, who has a good relationship with him, has some complaints about him recently, other people in the Yingchun Palace may have a much worse opinion of him.
The second question - where can I get a gift for Lu Sisi?
"Little Anko!"
While she was thinking about it, she helped carry the small flower pot for Lu Sisi, but she was stopped halfway by Mi Niangniang.
"What are you doing? I've been looking for you for a long time and I can't find it, but you're here moving flower pots!"
Mi Niangniang's tone was not friendly, and she spoke like a machine gun: "Hurry up, hurry up, tomorrow's ceremony, aren't you the one to take care of His Highness's dress fitting? You are so dirty, oh, oh, oh, go and wash it!"
Your Highness is trying on clothes...
Xiao Hongdou looked embarrassed when she thought of this.
Behind her, Lu Sisi quietly touched Xiao Hongdou with her elbow, and behind Mi Niangniang's back, she stuck out her tongue: "Go, go, go, you've heard all my complaints, don't miss the main business!"
"Sister Sisi..."
Xiao Hongdou looked at Lu Sisi and gave a helpless smile: "Well, let's watch the ceremony together tomorrow."
"Um!"
After she agreed, Xiao Hongdou hurriedly lifted up her skirt and ran towards the Yingchun Palace.
——————————
This is the first time there are so many people in the dormitory.
Han Dongwen stood in the center like a fitting doll with his hands in a big Chinese character. Xiao Hongdou and two other maids were surrounding him to adjust his sleeves and waist seams.
At the same time, Mr. Wen Yongxing and the three chief ministers from Taishu Pavilion came here very rarely, and were standing in front of His Highness reporting various matters.
Han Dongwen just raised his hands and discussed with them with a serious expression. The scene looked busy and slightly funny.
Of course, Xiao Hongdou didn't dare to laugh.
With the status of the three chief ministers and the elder of Taishu Pavilion, it is enough for the maids to breathe.
"How will Your Highness plan to make a decision regarding Grand Duke Tilda's coming to report?"
The person who spoke was the heroic Chief Legal Officer Jiang Ningyun. Xiao Hongdou had seen her many times, but every time she couldn't help but wonder, why does such a good-looking sister look equally dainty in a men's official uniform?
"What about Gascón?"
Han Dongwen spoke.
Tilda obviously started cleaning up the mess immediately after returning to the Grand Duke's residence without stopping for a moment, of which the agreement with Han Dongwen and Prince Gao was the first step.
According to the pre-arrangement, the Holy Grail of West Asia should enter the territory of Simeng, but on the battlefield, the Holy Grail along with Gascon had been sealed in the Darkril Ice.
So, the first thing Tilda reported was to ask Han Dongwen how he planned to deal with Gascón's big ice blight.
"The Grand Duke's residence advocates sending Gascón to Eagle City instead of staying in Eagle City."
Jiang Ningyun said concisely and concisely.
Han Dongwen nodded, understanding that Tilda was worried that Eagle Eagle City had just been returned to Simeng. She didn't know if Gascón, who was staying on the outskirts of Eagle Eagle City, could be considered as entering the Simeng border, so she specifically wanted to deliver it to Eagle City safely.
"Okay, Tianying City... no, what are the arrangements for the Liangzhou Justice Department now?"
he asked in a light tone.
Jiang Ningyun immediately replied: "The Liangzhou Law Department has been restored to its original structure, and the former Tianying City Law Department will temporarily serve as Sizhou."
"In this case, Gascón will be properly placed on the outskirts of Tianying City, far away from the city, and will be taken care of together with the local sect."
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
"yes."
Han Dongwen nodded, feeling a little sore in his arms. He sighed slightly and turned his eyes to Tantai Fu and Wenshu Tong beside him.
"Haizhou arrangements are already in place?"
