On the occasion of the meal, Chu Xianzhao specially took two pots of warm burning knives from the wine storehouse, this burning knife has a long history, the earliest can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, with its high degree, strong taste, like fire, and named, in the past people in the northern region will go out to hunt, to winter no food can hunt, at that time out of the hunt you do not drink a few mouthfuls of the burning knife should be cold to death. If you don't drink a few mouthfuls of burning knives, how can you come from the courage to hunt, when you hunt in the field, burn the knife for the bear to look at you, you have a roar: you look at it. If it is a dry meal. And if the burning knife is not closed, you can be bold and warm up some of his work, if it is hot, then pour a little burning knife on the hand like the body of a child? If the son who falls by mistake can still burn the knife to disinfect the sores. This burning knife has the effect of clearing blood vessels, dispersing blood stasis, dispelling wind and cold, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach.

Chu Yingyang likes to drink very much, but Chu Xuanzhao's amount of wine is very poor, and he can drink five glasses of these two pots of wine, but he feels that when he eats dumplings, he must smell the aroma of wine to have that smell. After he sat down, he beckoned Su Nianyu to sit beside her, but she was self-aware, if she sat in it so openly, I was afraid that the jealousy in the eyes of the two maids would burst into flames, plus she was bullied by Su Younu just now, and she would not sit in the house, so she asked Chu Xian to summon a pot of wine and sit alone in the courtyard to drink.

Chu Xianzhao picked up the dumplings and looked at the three maids in front of him and sighed: "When I was not there just now, you bullied her, didn't you?"

Su Younu lowered her head and didn't speak, but Pomegranate chewed the dumplings, and said heartlessly: "She bullied me first, who cares if she is bullied or not?"

Chu Xianzhao immediately put on a straight face, reached out and pinched the pomegranate red fluttering face, and pulled: "If you are so heartless, I really don't want you." Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I can see at a glance that you think you're hiding well, is it interesting to bully people during the Chinese New Year? Sister Yu is not a bad person, some things are just forced to do, not out of her original wishes. ”

"Your Highness, I won't dare next time. Pomegranate rubbed her face and motioned for him to let go.

Chu Xianzhao rolled his eyes: "Do you dare to have a next time, when did you get into trouble from childhood to adulthood, didn't I carry it for you, three days of smashing bowls and five days of rotten scoops, every time I want to scold you, I don't know how to speak, I scold you around the bend and think I'm praising you, if you are ruthless, you must not cry to death." Pomegranate, your father is Li Shengxin, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and her father is the lord of Weiyang City, but she is different from you, not everyone can grow up safely under the blessing of Da Yin, the reason why I am good to her is because I feel guilty, where do you get so much careful thinking?"

"What about me, Your Highness, I am a lost country like her, do you feel guilty about me? Su You looked at him in a trance.

Chu Xianzhao said calmly: "No, I am grateful to you, not guilty, the matter of Xilin is not the responsibility of Dayin, as for the reason, I don't need to explain, since I met her, my life has changed dramatically, I now have a lot of thoughts in my heart, I am no longer the incompetent prince who was full of poetry before, I now have strength." Whether it is to the west or to the north, we are all from the North, I don't want to watch my compatriots kill each other, I don't want to see girls crying in front of me, no one is born to suffer, no one owes anyone. Just be willful, I'm going to keep her around, and none of you will try to take her away from me. ”

"If you want to hate her, hate me too. He turned his head to look at the cloud-robed woman who was drinking alone in the courtyard, picked up a pot of dumplings in front of the pomegranate and walked out, and sat face to face with her, Su Nianyu put down the cup, hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't have to be like this." ”

"Sister Yu eats dumplings, don't worry about them. He said nonchalantly. "Don't be angry, they are all little girls, before the bamboo mouth gluttonous royal dining room freshly steamed cakes, originally it was going to be taken to the temple to worship the ancestors, but she stole my token and took the pomegranate into it openly, took a cage out and hid in the corner to share the food, was seen by Rong Gong Road, punished the two of them to go to the imperial dining room to pour water, and finally I went to bring them back. They can be stupid sometimes, so don't worry about them. ”

"I'm not angry, I'm just a little lonely, in the past, I would dress up with Xiao Yinzi at this time, and prepare for the next year's spring dress, but now she is gone. The woman drank a whole cup of burnt knives, her eyelids were red, and peach blossoms appeared on her cheeks, gentle and charming.

"This wine is so strong, Sister Yu, can you actually drink it in one gulp?"

"There used to be a kind person sent me to the warm building to learn the piano, but he can do only so much for me, at that time I was penniless, the piano skills were not mastered, fortunately there is a beautiful face, my mother let me go to accompany the guests to drink, you men are very strange, watching the girl drink the wine one by one, there will always be excitement for no reason, I had to drink five or six pots of wine one night, some guests will take advantage of the girl drunk mess around, I am not stupid, after each pot will tell the guests to go to the thatched house to relieve themselves, in fact, I am taking advantage of the wine is not on the head of the time to continue to pick the throat, the wine vomited out, but this is not a way, to the end of the wine I vomited mixed with blood, still have to drink with them. ”

Chu Xianzhao sighed and stuffed a dumpling into her mouth: "It's easy to get drunk just by drinking, eat something." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, if you're drunk, you can send me back, anyway, Xiaozhao is a righteous gentleman, and you won't mess with me. She chewed the dumplings, drank another glass of wine, and ate and laughed.

He laughed and said: "How do you know that I am a righteous gentleman, maybe I won't go back to this weeping eagle after I carry you back tonight, are you afraid?" ”

She hummed heavily, put her hand on his shoulder, exhaled like an orchid, and said with a coquettish smile: "Do you dare?" His Royal Highness the Third Prince is a master of swordsmanship, but I don't know how this other swordsmanship technique is, do you want the little woman to help you open the light, and promise that you will not regret it." ”

"Here you go again. ”

"Also, there are so many beautiful girls in His Highness's courtyard that you can't speak, how can my posture enter your eyes and make Your Highness smile. ”

"You're not serious again. ”

"When am I passing by?No, you send me back tonight, this is the coolie fee I gave you, are you arrogant?" she slapped on the stone table, which was the copper coin she had just fished out of the pool.

"This copper coin is mine too. He put it back in her palm, but she said with a straight face: "You prince is really stingy, a copper coin is worth a lot of money with me, the eldest prince came to our building before, that is called a young man throwing a thousand gold!"

At this moment, there was a bang in the sky, the two looked up, the fireworks bloomed in their eyes, Su Nianyu's beautiful face reflected a faint fluorescence, the whip heard in the sky, the night dome was like a big garden, and the gold, plain, semi-purple, red and pink flower umbrellas were dismantled, the five-colored fireworks were as beautiful and brilliant as crystal stones, and the five-colored flames were as gorgeous as color, beautiful, and the fireworks soared in the air, slowly, and slowly. The color ball breathes fire, the color begins to change, Russian and Wu blue, the beard is red, and the beard is even more momentary, and it turns green, and the brilliant fireworks fly wantonly, explode, and disappear like meteors.

If you can be like fireworks in your life, you can go to the vast sky and lean into one, you can have no regrets. It is said that your memory is like clean smoke, and one can be normal.

Su Nianyu gently leaned her head on his shoulder, her eyes were full of sparkling and smiling.

"What beautiful fireworks. ”

The pomegranates walked out of the house and watched the fireworks in the sky above Lin'an City, accompanied by crystal snowflakes falling down in pieces, like a miracle given to the world by the gods and Buddhas.

"Happy New Year. Chu Xianzhao found out of nowhere a golden nanmu box and handed it to Su Nianyu, Su Nianyu looked at the box blankly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Guess what's inside?" He saw that Su Nianyu refused to take it, so he put it on the table, gently pushed open the lid of the box, and under the fireworks, the pale cyan long sword lay quietly in the velvet, the sword was two feet long, no more than half a finger wide, and the smooth mirror-like sword body revealed a line of ancient seals, and the gift that Chu Xian summoned himself was actually a sword!

"I specially asked someone to fight for you, and my sword dragon finch is also a Fallen God Steel Sword, I gave it a nice name called Nine Chicks, taken from the Nine Heavens, only the allusion of the phoenix Chicks, go back to the arsenal to find two sword books for you to practice, do you like it?" Chu Xianzhao said.

"Didn't you want me to hold the sword before?" took out the long sword from the box, and the water ripple-like lines appeared on the Fallen God Steel Sword, and she flicked the long sword lightly, her eyes full of joy.

"I have a big plan, and before that I need someone who can hold a sword...... Sister Yu, I can't promise you any future you want, because then we are facing the whole south, and even the world, the war will be ignited, and everywhere we go will inevitably cause war, many people will do whatever it takes to kill me, and the disaster will be parallel to us, even so, are you willing to stay by my side?"

"I only know that the boy in front of me saved me, he forgave me for the past, and gave me a second chance, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, or broken bones, I will not leave him. She stroked Chu Xianzhao's face, her voice was extremely soft, but with unquestionable solemnity.

"As the third prince of Da Yin, you will always be by my side, you will always have a place in my heart, I have each other, support each other, whether it is the storm or the dawn, grief or joy, we all understand and cherish each other, until death can separate us. He held her hand tightly and laughed uncontrollably.

"I'm yours......" Two lines of tears crossed her face, but the smile on her face was blissful.

Chu Xianzhao was about to say something, but a snowball smashed on Su Nianyu's shoulder, scaring her into a stagger.

"Pomegranate turned against you!" Chu Xianzhao shouted at the girl behind her, but she said disapprerovingly: "Your Highness is eccentric! Your Highness took our dumplings! Secretly give her a sword, we also want a sword!"

"You can't even use a kitchen knife, what kind of sword do you use?" Chu Xianzhao quickly picked up a ball of snow under his feet and pinched a snowball and smashed it fiercely, the girl flexibly dodged, crossed her waist and hooked her fingers at him, as if to say that you are coming to smash me, Chu Xianzhao pinched another snowball and chased after it, and the yard was suddenly filled with the sound of warblers and swallows, and the sound of snowballs hitting the floor.

"Your master of the maid really doesn't know how to make rules, wait for me to teach you a lesson. ”

"Your Highness, you're chasing me. ”

Boys and girls chase each other in the snow-white world, and fireworks flicker above the night dome, as if to merge this snow-white world into their brilliance.

......

......

Emperor Yinhuang stretched his sore waist, the fire in the room continued, warm as spring, but he just walked out of the warm imperial study, and walked to the empty corridor in his eagle feather robe, he looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and the corners of his mouth hooked a rare arc.

"Your Majesty......"

The woman's voice came from behind him, and he turned his head to see that the female official who was called Aunt Liu by Chu Xuan was wearing a luxurious and magnificent brocade purple flower palace dress, with a purple and blue brocade forged bandeau lining her snow-white and tender skin, wrapped in a snow fox fur outside, and carrying a pot of steaming wine in her hand, and behind her was a snowflake, Emperor Yin was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his hair and said, "Huanhuan...... Are you okay these days?"

She smiled charmingly and said: "Your Majesty hasn't called the slave maid like this for many years, the slave maid just went to the wine warehouse to warm a pot of wine, if Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, can you go to the water courtyard to accompany the slave maid to drink half a glass?"

Emperor Yin stood at the end of the road and was silent for a while, then nodded: "I depend on you." ”

In the courtyard of the princess's mansion, Chu Xun looked at the fine snow outside the window, the table was full of delicate pastries, several female officials of the Rose Division sat around the princess together, and Chen Baoen was also there, the girls put down their serious faces in front of the princess, and were competing with each other for a piece of warm pastry, Chen Baoen took a sip of warm wine in the cup, looked at the girl in a daze by the window and smiled: "Is there anything unhappy about the princess?" might as well say it and make us happy. ”

", dare to laugh at all the palaces and give me all the money to beg for food!" she said coldly.

Although the officials of the Rose Division were suspended for investigation because of the previous incident, Chu Xun was more or less unhappy, so he took advantage of the days before Chinese New Year's Eve to let them come to the princess's mansion to have a reunion dinner, which was also regarded as her own compensation, originally she wanted to call Xiao Zhao over to accompany her, but she looked for him for an afternoon and did not see anyone.

There was a sound of soft footsteps outside the courtyard, Chen Baoen vigilantly pulled out the golden knife, although the footsteps were light, but they fell in the ears of their professionals, it was extremely clear, the person walked in without seeing it, the girls looked at the resolute and handsome face, raised their hands one after another, and said coquettishly: "His Royal Highness, come to us!"

Chu Xun glared and said: "What's the past, Chu Ying Yang, don't you look for your fox friends to drink?" so kindly come to visit your sister, you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief!"

"They're all going home...... Chu Ying said softly, found a place with a lot of girls and sat down, skillfully holding their shoulders, looking at the fireworks in the sky, his expression was extremely comfortable.

"I'm convinced. She scolded as she walked up to him and filled him with a glass of warm wine, took the wine from her sister, and raised her glass to her.

On Tai'an Mountain, the great priest Guo Yu was lying on the warm low couch, looking at the fireworks through the skylight, he picked up the blue wine jug and poured it into his mouth, the girl in purple sat beside him, sewing her adoptive father's robe with a needle and thread, she suddenly stopped moving, looked at the man's thin face and asked: "Dad, do you say that the gods and Buddhas in the sky celebrate the New Year? Will they burn firecrackers and drink rice wine like us." ”

"The gods and Buddhas don't have any feelings, they don't live in years, they only create and destroy...... Other than that, it's watching. Guo Yu's voice was like a dream.

"Watch for what?"

"Future"

In the supreme heavenly dome, a pair of red hands tossed the wheel of fate, the dark night eyes of the gods and Buddhas stared at all the lands in the world, and the long-silent wheel of war was slowly turned by them, they looked forward to their pleasant supreme battle in this ancient and vast land, for which they had calculated together, the seven stars of the North Star were hovering above the fifteen countries of the world, at this moment, the ink star slowly appeared on the land of the Yin country, emitting a cold and lonely light.

The gods and Buddhas stared at the pitch-black star, and sighed slowly, the emperors will eventually meet on the battlefield, with their swords and fire, blood and tears, like a doll in the hands of the gods and Buddhas, one of them hesitated for a long time, tried to stretch out his hand to the ink star, the moment the red palm touched the ink star, the black flames spread from his fingertips all over the body, he roared and fell to the sky, turning into a red comet, countless luck scattered in the world, into ethereal everything.

The rest of the gods and Buddhas watched the fall of their companions, without any emotion in their eyes, like the abyss of death.

......
