After a storm, the beauty under him was already weak, but Song Chen was hearty, he kissed the beautiful begonia again gently, and finally got up satisfied.

Chu Xue silently cleaned herself up, silently sighed in her heart, now the time is too late, can only wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to come back and bathe.

Seeing that she was silent, Song Chen thought she was displeased, he knew that she was thin-skinned and disciplined, so he knew that he was in a hurry to apologize, and said softly: "I have to stay with others for two days in a row, and now I feed it all to you, you should rest assured." ”

She was annoyed and ashamed, biting her lip and beating his chest, "Don't make trouble with the concubine anymore, the concubine still has to make up." ”

Pouted and bypassed him, but in his heart he felt that his excuse was funny, because he heard that since Xia Wanyin entered the mansion, he would no longer go to Danwei Garden, and occasionally even if he went, it was just a few days when he followed the etiquette system. It's no wonder that he likes the new and hates the old, because marrying Xu Jinhe was an expedient measure at the beginning, and he probably never liked it from the bottom of his heart, and gave her the position of a respected wife, and he was more respectful on weekdays, which was about the amount of husband and wife he could do.

Otherwise, why has Xu Jinhe never conceived a child since Li Jiaoyun entered the mansion? She will use medicine to harm others, but she will never harm herself.

Because her makeup was more time-consuming, she changed Song Chen's clothes first, so that he could leave first, Song Chen saw that she was not really angry, so she was relieved, and before leaving, she specially cared for her, "Don't rush and take your time...... But you don't have to work too hard, and your complexion looks better than any rouge you put on. ”

She bit her lip and glanced at the man again, but when she saw him smile at her, she walked out of the curtain with a very relaxed step.

She sighed and summoned Yanling outside the door to groom herself.

Seeing her red face, Yan Ling's expression was a little unnatural, of course she knew why, although she tried her best to suppress it just now and didn't make much noise, but after all, it was outside, and it was very likely that the maids who were guarding the hugging building would hear it...... sighed silently in her heart, there were people in her own courtyard around her, and she didn't care much about her thick skin. At the moment, he had to pretend not to understand Yanling's strange expression, and only quietly looked at the bronze mirror in front of him.

Thinking of his coaxing just now, she was a little surprised, and then realized that there seemed to be no more estrangement between her and him than before, and she seemed to love to be coquettish to him more and more, and he was willing to put down the shelf to coax.

This change seems to represent something.

When she took care of her makeup and hurried to Danwei Courtyard, everyone had gathered, and she was not surprised that she was the last one, and after everyone saluted and greeted each other, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began.

Because it is the last meal of the year, the family eats peacefully, although it is cold outside the house, the earth dragon in the house is warm, and the laughter on the dinner table, everyone's face is full of smiles, but the intention behind each smiling face is probably only known to themselves.

A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was lively for an hour and a half, and it was almost the end, and before the adults got up, the three boys had already run to the courtyard, especially Song Qi, but they began to worry about tonight's artillery fireworks a few days ago!

"Put on your cloak!" Xu Jinhe and Li Jiaoyun instructed outside the door in unison.

Song Qi, who was entangled beside the guards, had long been fascinated by the artillery battle, and he could still listen to it.

Suddenly there was a cannon shot in their ears, and everyone looked out the window and saw it through the bright tile

The long red firecrackers went off for half a cup of tea before they burned out, and the boys outside the courtyard were extremely excited, but they suffered Song Ning who was hidden in his mother's arms. The little girl covered her ears with her two little hands, and kept stomping her feet in a hurry, because she was facing inward against Li Jiaoyun, Chu Xue couldn't see her expression, but she couldn't guess without looking, she must be frowning tightly and pouting, and maybe even crying.

Chu Xue was about to open her mouth to coax her, but the sound of firecrackers outside just stopped, and the little girl waited for a while, and found that there was no longer a terrible sound, so she slowly showed her head.

"Mother, has my brother finished setting off firecrackers?"

The little girl asked cautiously.

Li Jiaoyun just nodded, but saw that the door curtain was opened, and Song Qi, who was still in the courtyard just now, ran in, and said to Song Chen with an excited face: "Father, it's time to set off the fireworks." ”

"yes, okay." Song Chen got up from his seat and stretched out his hand to Song Ning, "Come to Ningning, my father will take you to see the fireworks." ”

"Great, there's a firecracker to see!"

As soon as he heard that there were fireworks, Song Ning immediately smiled, and threw himself into Song Chen's arms like a gust of wind, and the excitement could not be seen at all in the pain just now.

The adults in the dining room were all amused by her, and Xu Jinhe also laughed, "Let's go and have a look, I heard that there are a lot of fireworks prepared this year, all of which are new tricks made by craftsmen!" ”

The dinner was coming to an end, and as soon as the princess said this, everyone got up and walked out of the dining room.

Hundreds of huge fireworks have already been placed, and they are now being placed on a platform with a higher position in the courtyard, so that the masters of the palace can enjoy it, and secondly, it will also let the people of Yanzhou outside the palace see it fresh. The terrain of Hengwang Mansion is already high, and when the high fireworks are fired, it will definitely amaze the entire Yanzhou City.

Seeing that all the masters had come to the courtyard, the prince was holding his daughter personally, and the guards on the platform did not dare to slack off, and immediately lit the fuse after making sure that it was safe.

With a loud bang to the sky, huge fireworks immediately bloomed in the cold night sky, bright and brilliant, dazzling, and bloomed in the sky of Yanzhou one after another.

The changing light above her head reflected Chu Xue's face, adding a little color to her magnificent eyes, she looked up at the beautiful scenery in front of her, and suddenly sighed in her heart, it has been nine years since she saw fireworks last time.

Before the accident at home, she was also like these children, and the New Year was lively and happy. But since that incident, the Chu Mansion in the capital has never lit any fireworks and cannonballs, and has lost loved ones, who still has the heart to do those entertainments?

Looking at these festive colors at the moment, her face was calm.

Dad, Mother, Brother, Sister Cher, and those people in the family in the past, it's a new year again, you are all happy in heaven, right?

There was an exclamation beside him, and even Yanling couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Miss, Yue'er, look at it, the fireworks in Yanzhou are so beautiful!" ”

Ruyue nodded vigorously in agreement.

The voice was not far away, and a young guard looked sideways slightly, but the girl with a pear vortex at the corner of her mouth only looked up at the sky and didn't notice it at all.

Chu Xue came back to her senses from her memory, smiled and nodded, but her eyes met Song Chen, who was looking back at her, the prince of the lord of a state had gentle eyes, and seemed to want to speak and stop, she was stunned for a moment, and smiled sweetly.

After nearly a meal, hundreds of cannons burned out, and the night sky of Yanzhou City on Chinese New Year's Eve finally returned to calm, but the smell of artillery battles in the air did not dissipate for a long time. The climate was cold in the harsh winter, and no one noticed it when he was attracted by the fireworks just now, but at this moment, everyone found out that although he was wearing thick clothes, his legs and feet were almost frozen, but fortunately, Song Ning had been held by people and was not frozen.

"The prince is tired, right?" Li Jiaoyun walked towards the father and daughter and stretched out her hand to Song Ning, "Ning Ning, come here, it's late, let's go back, say goodbye to my father." ”

"It's okay, I'm not tired, Ning Ning has gained a few pounds, but my father is happy, and I still have to eat well in the future, you know?" Song Chen touched his daughter's little face.

Song Ning smiled sweetly, nodded in response, and kissed his father on the face before turning to his mother's arms.

With the departure of Li Jiaoyun's mother and daughter, the rest of the female dependents and children also stepped forward to retire.

After Chu Xue finished saluting, she raised her head to meet Song Chen's eyes, and a faint but sly smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Song Chen was stunned, staring at her for some reason, but saw her turn around and walk towards her yard.

I did a vigorous exercise in the afternoon, and just now I stood with my daughter in my arms for nearly three quarters of an hour, and I said that I was not tired...... The body lì is really good.

But she wouldn't sue him.

At the beginning of the new year, there are many local officials in Yanzhou who bring their families to Hengwangfu to celebrate the New Year, so from the first to the third day of the new year, Hengwang and his wife are very busy, and from the fifth day of the new year, the annual leave of the imperial court has ended, Song Chen returned to the study in the front yard during the day, and became a diligent prince.

There are about two months left, Weizhou will usher in the dry season, and the rebuilding of the Tongji Canal has also reached the stage of tackling fortifications, the next three months, is the time to spend a lot of energy, the effect of the Tongji Canal is three months later, from the court to the local has used a large number of people, he himself can not have the slightest slack.

When he went to bed on the night of the eighth day of the first year, Song Chen suddenly remembered what he saw on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, so he casually asked, "When the fireworks were set off on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was very excited, but you were very calm, is it that the fireworks in your Chu Mansion were better in the past, and this king can't get into the eyes of the beauty here?" ”

She chuckled, "The prince is getting better and better at joking, the concubine hasn't seen fireworks for eight or nine years, and she was just stunned that day, why can't you say it?" ”

"Huh? Eight, nine years? He turned sideways, leaned one arm on the pillow, and his handsome face showed puzzlement, "There are many good firecracker workshops in the southern suburbs of the capital, why didn't you send someone over to take a look?" Besides, the capital has become more lively during the New Year, even if you don't put it at home, the Chongsheng Temple on the Shangyuan Festival will also be there, you can go outside to see it. ”

"The concubine rarely went out before, even when she met the prince on the street, she only went because she was in the way of her cousin's affection......" She paused, pulled the brocade quilt to her chest, tried to calm her mood, and said softly: "As for the family, since the accident in my uncle's family, my father has not allowed me to let it go." ”

Seeing that Song Chen didn't say anything for a while, she looked at him sideways and said tentatively: "Lord, my father doesn't mean anything else, it's just that my aunt is always a close relative, and he is really not in the mood to ......."

"It's nothing," he stroked her face, and said lightly like a sigh: "Lord Chu didn't do anything wrong, General Yue back then...... Forget it, go to bed early, you have to wake up early tomorrow. ”

He kissed her on the forehead and lay down as well.

Although he didn't continue what he said just now, Chu Xue felt that his title of "General Yue" seemed to express something, and he might not agree with the bloody case of that year, otherwise he would not have used the title of "general" for a former minister who was charged with "conspiracy to commit rebellion......

Without allowing her to think about it any longer, one hand took her into his arms again, and he smelled her hair and asked softly, "Are the fireworks beautiful that night?" ”

"It's pretty!" She snuggled up in his arms and answered honestly.

"That's good."

Kissing her forehead again, he hugged the beauty and gradually fell asleep.
