Chapter 355 New Year’s Day

The new year has begun. When Su Yue was still in bed, she heard the sound of firecrackers.

She frowned and turned around to see that Murong Li had already gotten up. She was getting ready too. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year. After breakfast, she had to go into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Emperor Yun Fei.

The royal family is troublesome. Unlike ordinary people, they live in a house and usually only need to walk a little to greet them.

This trip to the palace lasted all morning.

As soon as she got up and got dressed, there was a knock on the door: "Princess, are you up?"

It was Caixia shouting outside.

"Come in."

After Su Yue finished speaking, the door was pushed open by Caixia, who ran in happily wearing a pink dress.

"Princess, happy new year."

Caixia smiled and said New Year greetings to her.

Su Yue curled her lips and smiled. This girl was here to ask for a red envelope. She picked up a red envelope from the bedside table and gave it to her. She knocked on her forehead and said, "If you want a red envelope, be so active."

She didn't care about this girl, so she let herself go in the palace, and sometimes she couldn't find anyone.

It looks like Caixia is about seventeen or eighteen years old. It's time for her to get married at this age. Let's marry her this year.

Following her like this is a waste of her life.

Now most of the people around her are Wuying, and those who help her are also Wuying. Caixia is basically useless.

In the past, she could still help out in the kitchen, but after that mother-in-law came to the palace, Caixia basically had nothing to do.

Caixia didn't know what Su Yue was thinking. She giggled twice and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yue: "Princess, have a happy new year. I wish you good health and all the best in the new year...

…”

He said a lot of auspicious words, which made Su Yue very happy. After Caixia finished kowtow, she took the red envelope from Su Yue's hand and put it into her arms.

Su Yue...

This girl, you still can’t tell that she is a money obsessed girl.

"Princess, please comb your hair."

"Okay, let's dress up a little more formally. We have to go to the palace later."

"Don't worry, just leave it to your slave."

After saying that, Caixia combed her hair. Caixia was very skillful and quickly combed her hair. Finally, she inserted a hairpin into her head and that was it.

Su Yue looked in the mirror and saw that this hairstyle was okay. Her face was already exquisite, and with this hairstyle, she looked even more delicate and happy. She stood up and said, "Let's go."

"yes."

Caixia put a smoke-colored cloak on her. Although it didn't snow today, it was very cold outside.

The master and servant left the bedroom and went to the dining room. Breakfast had been laid out in the dining room. Murong Li was already sitting on the dining table. He was reading with a book. When he saw her coming, he put down the book and came over to support her.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early."

"Don't you have to go to the palace later? If it's too late, it will be over today."

"My father just sent a eunuch here to tell us that we don't have to go."

"Oh, what happened?"

Last night, after she moved the queen and the former prince out of the space, she fell asleep. She didn't know what happened next.

Murong Li shook his head: "I don't know, the little eunuch came back after delivering the message."

He was also quite surprised. When he left last night, he didn't see anything unusual in the emperor. The emperor was a heartless person and it was impossible for him to be sad for the concubine in Fangfei Palace.

Regarding the queen, Murong Li also felt that the emperor would not feel sad for her. After all, she was the one who wanted to touch the chair under his butt. For such a person, the emperor could only feel disgust and cruelty.

The emperor is also a person who attaches great importance to etiquette. He even skipped New Year greetings this year. This is not his style of doing things. However, no matter what he does, let the secret guard go and take a look later.

Su Yue was eager not to go to the palace. She said: "It's a good idea not to go. Let's go out to visit the capital later. It should be very lively today."

"Okay, let's go as soon as we finish our meal. This is the first year we both spend in the capital, so we can go shopping with Yue'er."

"Um."

Su Yue nodded, and then the two of them had breakfast. After finishing the breakfast, the two of them distributed a bunch of red envelopes in the house, as well as rewards to Hong Ying and the others.

A few days ago, while they were away from the capital, Hongying held another auction, which was very successful.

After I came back, I didn’t have time, so I decided to post it today, which was festive and joyful.

She has said before that the more money the auction house sells, the more rewards she will receive.

The auction at the end of this year made her earn a total of 1.5 million taels of silver. She took 50,000 taels as a prize and gave it to Hongying and the others, and asked Hongying to distribute it herself.

Hong Ying would have refused if she had seen so much money before, but after seeing so much profit from each auction, she accepted it. After all, she was not the only one in the auction house.

Of course, she still took the bulk, taking 5,000 taels, and gave the remaining 4,500 taels to the people in the auction house.

The other 40,000 taels will be placed in the auction house as activity expenses. If any items need to be added to the auction house or repairs are needed in the future, that money will be used to pay for it.

The princess rewarded them with so much silver. It was because of her kindness. They should also know how to repay the kindness. The people in the auction house, including her, were all slaves who had signed a contract of sale. Normally, they would not be given a single copper plate, and no one said anything about the princess.

What.

For those aristocratic families in the capital who do not have servants who sign death contracts, their monthly monthly silver is at most two taels. The highest-earning maids, mamas and eunuchs in the palace do not receive more than five taels, so they, the slaves, receive so much.

What is the money for?

Moreover, the princess provides food, drink, and accommodation, and she is also reimbursed if she gets sick or something, so she doesn't need any money at all.

The slave would have ideas when she had a lot of money on her hands, so she thought of storing the extra money for emergencies.

Moreover, her own personal money is also stored there. If she needs money in the future, she will use it directly.

She was originally an orphan, she didn't know who her parents were, and she really had no place to spend money.

After Su Yue and Su Yue handed out the red envelopes, it was already past midnight, so the two of them packed up and went out.

As soon as I went out, I saw that this usually deserted street was now very lively. Many adults and children were building snowmen in the snow, having snowball fights, or having fun and setting off firecrackers.

There are also many carriages driving out, all going to Nancheng or Xicheng and Beicheng. These three cities are the most lively places today.

When she went out today, Su Yue didn't bring Hongying with her. She gave them three days of leave. They only brought a secret carriage with them. I believe that no one would come to assassinate them in the capital like last year.

Even if someone comes to assassinate them, they will no longer be the weaklings they were back then.

After they got on the carriage, they went to Nancheng first. Nancheng was originally a commercial city and was the busiest place today.
