Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 631

Yun Shang felt much more relaxed after Qin Yi's arrival. Although Qin Yi had just arrived at the state of Xia, she must have made a thorough investigation in advance. She clearly knew about the customs and the traditions of the state of Xia, as well as the preferences of the ladies and misses who came in and went out of the imperial palace.

Yun Shang looked at Qin Yi, who was busy preparing the things needed for the new year and said with a big grin on her face, "it's so good to have Qin Yi here, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Qian Zhuo, who was standing aside, nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, I also feel relaxed, your highness."

Qin Yi looked back and forth between Yun Shang and Qian Zhuo, and sighed, "Your Highness, you don't look like a master in the mansion. That's not good. No female master in the imperial household was as lazy as your highness. You only cared about the affairs in your own yard, as if it was not Prince Rui's mansion outside your yard. The Spring Festival is coming. Your highness haven't prepared anything except for the things the housekeeper asked the servants to buy."

Yun Shang spat out her tongue secretly. Although she was a married woman in her previous life, Yun Shang was not qualified to worry about it as her mother-in-law took care of it. This life, after her marriage, there was only one new year and it was celebrated only in a battlefield, so she didn't know too much about the trifles in this mansion. As Luo Qingyan was often not at home, the butler hardly had time to deal with these things as well. He still remembered the first time when Luo Qingyan held a birthday party, the butler had called her for help. She was not so good at the management of a house. None of the people around her was experienced, and nobody could tell her about it.

"Qian Zhuo, go get the people who are in charge of the clothes, have the prince Rui and Lady Rui's size measured, and make three new suits for them. The color will be a little auspicious." Qin Yi looked up at Qian Zhuo and ordered.

Qian Zhuo immediately answered yes and left happily.

Qin Yi added again, "before lady Rui got up in the morning, I asked the butler to hang all the window flowers and lanterns he had bought. It was already the little new year at the seventh Prince's wedding day. It was time to prepare for the celebration of new year. The state of Xia values the new year very much, and today is the twenty-eighth already. It's time for spring festivals, window flowers and other things. By the way, I have to tell the Butler that tomorrow is the 29th day. In the state of Xia, it is called the new year's Eve. We will hold a banquet at home and let the acquaintances come and celebrate with us. This is called saying goodbye to last year. And we have to let someone burn incense outside the door for three days, so that we can smell incense. If we forget, it will not be good for the guests to see tomorrow."

Yun Shang didn't expect the people here to be so particular about the new year's Eve. She hadn't paid much attention to the celebrating customs before when it was new year. She only remembered that in the palace, it was just a banquet in the New Year's Eve in the palace. The only difference was that the banquet in the new year's Eve was more lively than usual. After she married to the Mo'smansion, she had seen some traditions, such as playing spring ribbons and window decorations, but she had never heard of the custom of saying goodbye to last year.

"It's lucky that Qin Yi is finally here. Otherwise we will make a fool of ourselves again." Yun Shang let out a slight sigh, "Lady Hua Guo, she used to remind me of this kind of things and how to get along with other ladies. But no one came to tell me exactly what to do. Fortunately, you're here to help me."
