After returning to the county king's mansion, the county lord of Anyang was not in a hurry to deliver the letter to Xu Huizhen, and he had to wait until the end of the year.

In this way, it will soon be the Shangyuan Festival.

During the Shangyuan Festival, according to the practice of previous years, the palace will allocate silver to hold the lantern festival, and the families in the capital will also follow the example of the palace and take some silver to contribute to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

On the evening of Shangyuan Day, the curfew will be lifted in the capital, and every family, regardless of gender, will also go out of their homes and enjoy the lanterns in the streets and alleys.

Such a picture is a little more prosperous for no reason.

In previous years, there were many good stories about the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

For example, whose son-in-law took the lead at the Lantern Festival and solved the lantern riddle that made many talented people fall into the sand, and which family's poor students showed their brilliance at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, which aroused the side eyes of the lady in the boudoir, thus achieving a happy marriage......

Wait a minute.

Therefore, the people of the capital are actually looking forward to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Merely......

This year, the fifteenth day has passed, and there is no word about the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the palace.

As a result, the people of Beijing have regretted that they will miss another lively event this year.

For ordinary people, without the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, it is just one less lively, but for those who care about the court, this is a very bad sign.

Xu Yujian handed the bowl of Lantern Festival in his hand, which had just come out of the pot and was still steaming, to Shen Xi.

"Zichang, the emperor's condition has not improved?" Xu Yu said.

First, the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was canceled because Emperor Jingtai had committed a headache, and now there are no instructions in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival Palace, and Xu Yujian can only come to such a conclusion.

Shen Xi was holding the bowl of Lantern Festival.

The blue and white porcelain bowl contains four or five white and round Lantern Festivals, which are filled with brown sugar and therefore look dark red, like a few cute little dolls of Yuxue, which makes people a little unbearable.

The bowl of Lantern Festival in Shen Xi's hand, as well as the bowl sent to the county lord of Anyang, were all made by Xu Yujian himself.

As the daughter of Houmen, Xu Yujian's cooking skills are only slightly dabbled, after all, no one requires a girl of her status to cook good dishes.

However, making such a bowl of Lantern Festival is difficult for Xu Yu to see.

For the Lantern Festival made by Xu Yujian, whether it was Shen Xi or the county lord of Anyang, they were particularly supportive.

For example, Shen Xi, this is already the second bowl.

First, I scooped a rice ball with a white porcelain spoon, and gently bit a small half, and the sweet sesame stuffing steaming inside flowed out along the spoon, which looked particularly attractive.

Shen Xi let out a very exaggerated sigh of satisfaction, "Daughter-in-law, let's talk about it, every year in the future, Sister Shangyuan, you have to make a bowl of this Lantern Festival for me, no, at least two bowls!"

Xu Yujian shook his head with a smile.

It's just an ordinary Lantern Festival, where can it be worthy of Shen Xi like this, he is just teasing her.

After eating a lantern festival, Shen Xi answered Xu Yujian's previous question, "The head wind is a stubborn disease that is extremely difficult to cure, and my emperor's uncle was the strongest when he was in the prime of life before, and he didn't think that he would be defeated by any disease at all, so he didn't treat this head wind disease seriously as a disease before, but now it has become more and more serious, where can it be so easy to get better?"

Xu Yu nodded when he saw it.

And so it was.

Shen Xi finished eating the remaining Lantern Festival in the bowl in three or two times, put the bowl on the table, and brought his face to Xu Yujian, so he had to ask Xu Yujian to take a handkerchief to wipe his mouth for him.

Xu Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, but when he saw that Shen Xi was a scoundrel and kept pouting, he had to take out his silk handkerchief and carefully wipe his mouth with some soup for him.

Shen Xi smiled with satisfaction.

He then said: "This year, those imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are probably the most trembling, since my emperor's uncle last fell ill, these imperial doctors have never been out of the palace, lest something happen......

As Shen Xi said, Emperor Jingtai is an extremely strong person, and he prides himself on being the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that it was too painful, he would never be like this during the New Year.

Emperor Jingtai is so painful, from the Empress Dowager Hua and Empress Jiang to the ordinary palace concubines, where do you still have any thoughts about holding the Shangyuan Lantern Festival?

This Shangyuan Festival, naturally, can only pass quietly like this.

Shen Xi lowered his voice again, "The emperor is very sick this time, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to deal with the government anymore." ”

Xu Yu was stunned.

Emperor Jingtai couldn't handle the government, so ......

"The crown prince is in charge of the country?" Xu Yu said with some surprise.

Shen Xi nodded.

Judging from the information he received, this was probably the case.

Since Daliang already has a crown prince, in the case that Emperor Jingtai is unable to preside over the government, it is natural that the prince should shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Xu Yujian felt that many things in this life had changed greatly from what she had experienced before.

For example, Emperor Jingtai's illness.

In the previous life, she was forced to delay until the second half of this year before she was married and reborn, but there was no incident where Emperor Jingtai was seriously ill and was supervised by the crown prince, and I don't know what was different from the previous life.

But......

She didn't want to pursue it.

Xu Yujian still remembered that Shen Xi said that compared to Emperor Jingtai, the prince's decision was much weaker, so for Shen Xi, who had already planned in his heart, it was of course better for the prince to supervise the country than Emperor Jingtai's common sense government leaders.

It's just that thinking of where Shen Xi said that the opportunity came from, Xu Yujian's heart was a little heavy.

Shen Xi probably saw what Xu Yujian was thinking, took her in his arms and patted her back gently, "Tian Tian, don't worry, no matter when, I will always protect myself, I am still waiting for every year in the future, I will eat two bowls of the Lantern Festival made by your own hands, which you can't rely on." ”

As he spoke, he winked at Xu Yujian.

Xu Yujian glared at Shen Xi.

She pursed her lips.

If so, then she would rather make Lantern Festival for Shen Xi every year or even every day, as long as Shen Xi is safe and sound.

Thinking of Shen Xi's appearance of looking at the Lantern Festival with a bitter face of I don't know how many bowls, Xu Yu couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw it.

Shen Xi looked at Xu Yujian a little helplessly, and then gently scraped Xu Yujian's pink cheeks with his tail finger, "Fang was so worried that he almost cried, but now he laughed again, he really cried and laughed, and the puppy was ......."

Seeing that Xu Yu didn't let him finish his words, he spat him, stretched out his hand and twisted Shen Xi's waist fiercely, and the laughter of the couple suddenly came from the room.
