59. The True King's Knot (12)
Imperial.
The red plums ignited the pale deep palace, and the few calyxes were full of the first snow, still arrogant, cold and cold.
Tang Jingzong looked at the scenery in the imperial garden and couldn't help but sigh, Mei can still stand out in this cold wind, so what about him? In this wolf ambition and the court situation of drinking blood, can he also think of this red plum, sprinkled with scenery in silence, and spread his wings to the town?
Half a year of getting along day and night, how many times have I painted Danqing under the moon, and cooked sake before the case...... Qianlan only needed to glance at Tang Jingzong to know what he was thinking, and the subtle feelings between the two were all in plain sight.
Sheng Xue, with her lively and dexterous personality, has also become Tang Jingzong's childhood friend, just a friend!
A snowball "stabbed" and blossomed on Tang Jingzong's body, Tang Jingzong turned around very unexpectedly, and saw Sheng Xue sticking out his tongue very proudly.
"Okay, you little girl!" he picked up a pile of fine snow, pinched it a little, and smashed it towards Sheng Xue, after all, it was the strength of the man's family, and he didn't know the difference between light and heavy, and a ball fell, and he was pushed to the ground by the force, and his forehead was red a lot.
Tang Jingzong and Qianlan hurriedly stepped forward to check, "How is it? Do you need to pass on the imperial doctor......?" I didn't control my strength......" Tang Jingzong buried his head with self-blame.
The pain is real, but it's not the most important thing!
Sheng Xue softened the swollen place, her face was full of pain, Qianlan and Tang Jingzong were very worried, and then there was an imperceptible mysterious smile at the corner of Sheng Xue's mouth, followed by this cold but soft snow like goose down - Qianlan and Tang Jingzong's necks shrank, and they shivered.
Tang Jingzong couldn't take care of himself, and hurriedly brushed the residual snow from Qianlan's hair, Qianlan lowered her head a little shyly, all this Sheng Xue saw in her eyes, it was obviously her who was injured, obviously she should stand in the middle and become the most dazzling one, how could it be Qianlan!
But she can only suppress all the displeasure and disobedience in her heart, waiting for the coming day!
"Hahahahaha-"
Sheng Xue held her stomach and laughed, "I deceived you!"
Qianlan stretched out her finger and nudged Sheng Xue's head, looking at her with a little anger.
"Oops...... I'm okay, you're still like this, I'm not your good sister!" Sheng Xue Nunu mouthed and looked at Tang Jingzong, "Qianlan is too fierce!"
Qianlan was about to hit her, and she was in Sheng Xue's arms.
"Gotta get it...... Look, isn't this called fierce?" Sheng Xue hurriedly hid behind Tang Jingzong.
"Where is the fierce?Qianlan is very gentle, she is an authentic girl from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River!" Tang Jingzong looked at Sheng Xue carefully, and he already had a slim appearance, and she was soft.
Qianlan spread out Tang Jingzong's palm, wrote, "Pure nonsense!" and then got up and ran away.
"She's shy, she's very good-looking!" Tang Jingzong looked at her back and ran away, he felt very cute, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose.
Once again, Sheng Xue was overlooked......
The expression on her face changed rapidly, and the jealousy in her heart was no longer what it used to be.
After returning to the palace, Sheng Xue lost her previous good face, and sat very indifferently, embroidering the silk handkerchief in her hand, Qianlan was still immersed in the bits and pieces between herself and Tang Jingzong, and did not notice Sheng Xue's abnormality.
Joy and sorrow silently built a high wall, separating the two people from each other......
......
......
God bless the first year, Chinese New Year's Eve.
According to the ritual system, it is necessary to sacrifice to the kings of the past dynasties, and then feast the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, which is the ceremony of vigil, resign from the old year, and usher in new blessings.
That night, there was no moon.
Empress Dowager He and Tang Jingzong sat on high chairs, dressed in gorgeous clothes, very dignified and solemn. The faces of everyone in the palace are beaming, and when the new year comes, everything recovers, and the well-being continues, and naturally those rewards are indispensable.
The night was tedious, and her eyes were full of sleepiness, so Qianlan stood beside Tang Jingzong like this until the sky was slightly bright, and the ceremony was completed.
Sheng Xue helped Empress Dowager He back to Chengqing Palace, although Tang Jingzong was sleepy, he still insisted on going all the way with Qianlan and sending her back to the palace.
The sky was slightly bright, and it was morning in less than a moment.
Tang Jingzong and Qianlan walked on the white jade slab road that had been stepped on countless times in the first ray of sunshine of the new year.
"Happy New Year, may you and I both be successful. Tang Jingzong picked a red plum and pinned it to Qianlan's bun, "Red plum with a beautiful woman." ”
Qianlan smiled and wrote, "Happy New Year, safe and smooth." ”
She doesn't ask if Tang Jingzong can show his ambitions and solve the puzzle, she just wants to be able to spend this life in peace, even if she finally becomes a commoner and has no life of fine clothes and food, but as long as she can live safely, it will be enough!
Since ancient times, how many emperors have died in a hundred years?
Handful!
In this troubled world, peace is better than prosperity!
......
......
"Happy New Year!"
Both carefree was stunned for a moment, and there was some surprise, "Happy New Year!"
"What will the mortal world do to welcome the New Year?"
Worry-free, almost subconsciously said, "Eat dumplings, cut window flowers, paste Spring Festival couplets...... halfway through the speech, she realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
"What are the dumplings?" asked the god in a sneering voice.
He patted his forehead without worry, and he was done, and he had to be the child's guide again.
During this time, he was carefree and walked around this world with the white dog god, elegant flower viewing and drinking, and vulgar casinos and brothels...... turned around, but he never thought that this god's interest in this world was unabated, and even if he didn't have to worry about taking him to stay in Chunfeng Lou for a night, he didn't feel a single leaf to be funny!
With a wave of his sleeves, he took him to a vendor, and in the huge iron pot, dumplings with various fillings floated, and he sniffed at it, the corn and pork filling was very tempting!
It's her favorite flavor!
"This is the dumpling? It doesn't seem to be any different from the ravioli you took me to eat the other day. Shen Yan was very serious about comparing the dumplings with the wontons sold by the vendor next door.
"If you take a closer look, does that wonton have a little more tail, but this dumpling is bulging?"
In fact, it is neither worry-free nor distinguishable, these are just what Shubai taught her.
The god nodded as if he didn't understand, "So that's what you want to eat in the New Year?"
Looking at him stunned, he couldn't help laughing, but he shook his head and said, "Every New Year, the women of each family will cook a pot of dumplings with their own hands, and some will put a copper coin in this dumpling." ”
"Copper coins?" the god looked up at her.
This is a good omen, and whoever eats it will be blessed by the gods. ”
"Then we won't buy it, I'll cook it for you!"
