【Chapter 187 - New Year】All for the next year's wedding

When the Chu army returned from a great victory, the people in the royal city were naturally rejoicing, although it was late at night, the streets were still full of people. The two walked hand in hand through the alley, and saw that the small wonton stall had moved into the shop, with a few tables and chairs propped up on the street, and the shopkeeper had also been replaced by a pair of young people, like the son and daughter-in-law of the old couple before, who were busy carrying a fat doll on their backs.

"A bowl of wontons in chicken soup, a bowl of wontons with sesame sauce." Duan Baiyue pulled Chu Yuan and picked a dimly lit table to sit down, "A few more side dishes." ”

"Okay." The latter agreed, and hurriedly brought two cups of tea.

"Is business good?" Chu Yuan asked with a smile.

"Okay, much better than before." Hou Sheng wiped the table with his hands and feet, "There are more and more merchants in the royal city, and this night is also very lively. ”

In addition to this wonton shop, there are also pancakes around, boiled osmanthus sugar taro, fried chestnuts, each shop is full of people, lined up to talk and laugh, once the topic is related to the Nanyang war, the voice will be lowered a few points, and the rest of the people will also gather around to join in the fun, listening to it very fascinating.

Duan Baiyue smiled, blew the soup wonton in the cool spoon, and put it in the small bowl in front of Chu Yuan.

The color looked a little bland, Chu Yuan picked up the chili oil and added three full spoonfuls of it, only then did he feel that it had some taste.

"Why are your tastes getting heavier lately?" Duan Baiyue said, "Isn't it too spicy? ”

Chu Yuan's mouth pouted: "I want to eat the food cooked by Aunt Jin." ”

"This ...... Why don't I find a good cook and send him to the imperial dining room? Duan Baiyue was embarrassed, and she couldn't bring her aunt to the palace.

"No need." Chu Yuan lowered his head and continued to eat wontons, not so much thinking about Aunt Jin, but thinking about the Southwest Mansion, thinking about those ten days of freedom and worry-free.

Before a bowl of wontons was finished, a light rain fell in the sky, Duan Baiyue bought osmanthus sugar taro next door, holding a bowl in one hand and pulling him in the other, trotting to the eaves of a family.

So the guards who had already prepared to take the two back to the palace had to retreat and continue to guard from afar.

In the late autumn night, there is some wind, the steaming sugar taro is soft in the mouth, and the aroma of osmanthus that has been stored all summer, sit on the steps and eat a bowl of sweetness, watch the rain trickle down the eaves, splash one small ripple after another on the ground, but do not feel the slightest chill.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes and leaned comfortably on his shoulder to listen to the wind and rain.

"What are you thinking?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"I want to get married." Chu Yuan turned his head to look at him.

Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows.

"This time it's not like the Southwest." Chu Yuan put his hands around his neck, and the lights flashed in his eyes, "Not only to tell the world, but also the surrounding small affiliated countries, plus the West Ocean, South Ocean, and East China Sea, if you want to continue to trade with Great Chu, you must not miss any of them during the celebration." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "This kind of thing can also force others? ”

"No matter." Chu Yuan said, "I am the emperor. "It's so unreasonable, unwilling to accept the war.

Duan Baiyue shook her head with a smile and touched his lips: "Little fool." ”

"What about you?" Chu Yuan said, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about the Southwest Mansion." Duan Baiyue said, "And Master." ”

"Master will be fine." Chu Yuan held his hand, "Even if we send out the wedding card now, it will be a long way to go to the countries, and the big wedding will not wait until a year later, and when the master has slept enough, he will come to drink our wedding wine, and by the way, he will quarrel with Lord Taifu, believe it or not?" ”

Duan Baiyue nodded and clasped her fingers with him: "Go back, you have to go to the court tomorrow morning." ”

"Go buy a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts for Yao'er." Chu Yuan pulled him to his feet, "He likes to eat these little things." ”

After an autumn rain, there were already many fewer people on the street, Chu Yuan asked for a few bags of chestnuts, and said, "I don't have any money, you pay the bill." ”

When the stall owner heard that there was no silver, he thought he was going to eat the overlord meal, and he looked up to theorize, but he felt that the son in front of him was a little familiar, and then looked to the side, but it was not the king of the southwest who had been painted everywhere in recent days, and his heart suddenly exploded, and he took the silver in a daze, and he didn't know what to say, but he just looked at the two of them talking and laughing, and went farther and farther.

That's really...... The emperor and the prince?

It was the second half of the night when he returned to the palace, Duan Yao was on all fours, holding the quilt and falling asleep, Duan Baiyue gently put the sugar-fried chestnuts on the table, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.

The chamberlain had already prepared hot water for bathing, added a few drops of essential oil, and filled the house with a faint fragrance of flowers. Chu Yuan leaned on Duan Baiyue's arms, and was gently rubbed by his shoulders, his whole body was soft, and he didn't want to move.

"Tired today, aren't you?" Duan Baiyue asked in his ear.

Chu Yuan bit his lips sideways and said vaguely, "Go to bed." ”

"Don't want to try it in the water?" Duan Baiyue's palm stroked his waist, and under the slightly hot water, it felt as smooth as brocade.

Chu Yuan's chin rested on his shoulder, refusing to speak, and his back was crimson.

Duan Baiyue pulled his wet hair behind his ears, and the kiss was much slower than before, as if the flyfly was about to leave. Chu Yuan opened his eyes with some doubts, but he happened to bump into a gentle smile under the other party's eyes, and the red candles around him danced, reflecting the favorite appearance in his life.

The surface of the water shook violently, and Chu Yuan climbed on his shoulder to gasp, like a stranded and dried fish. Countless crystal water droplets splashed and fell, soaking the soft blankets around the bath barrel more and more, the fragrance of flowers mixed with an ambiguous atmosphere, Duan Baiyue held his waist and pressed it against him, presumptuous and affectionate.

The corners of Chu Yuan's eyes were shining with water, and in a confusion, he only knew that he was crying and hugging his strong back, and there was a hot and humid touch in his ears, and he couldn't tell whether it was a kiss or a love word.

Outside the main hall, the attendants in a circle trembled, looking at each other, and they didn't know whether to avoid or continue to serve. I went to the palace first to learn the rules, but it was the emperor's concubine, and it was changed at this time...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hear it.

Duan Baiyue pulled the blanket on the side, wrapped him out of the already slightly cool water, and gently placed him on the soft couch on the side.

The chamberlain hurriedly brought new bathing water, Duan Baiyue twisted the hot hand towel and gently uncovered the blanket covering him. Chu Yuan closed his eyes and turned his head sideways, his eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings.

Duan Baiyue smiled, carefully dried his body for him, and then carried him back to the dragon bed.

It was raining again outside the window, and Chu Yuan shrank on his chest and slept warmly and comfortably.

In the early morning of the next day, Sixi had already recovered and came to serve in the morning. The rest of the chamberlains were relieved and hurriedly reported the events of last night to the Grand Duke in detail. Sixi said: "The second half of the night? ”

"It's not just the second half of the night, it's almost dawn." The chamberlain lowered his voice.

Even if it's not early again. Sixi entered the dormitory lightly, lifted the curtain and took a look, but saw that Chu Yuan had already gotten up and Duan Baiyue was changing his clothes, so he panicked and hurriedly went in to help.

"The fever is gone?" Chu Yuan beckoned at him.

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness Jiu's medicine is good, and it is no longer in the way." Four happy roads.

"That's not going to work, let's go back to sleep." Chu Yuan said, "Come back in ten days." ”

"This ......" Sixi was embarrassed, looking at the new servants outside, it didn't seem like they could serve well, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have woken up and didn't know.

Duan Baiyue stepped forward to help him walk out, and by the way, he glanced at him, and squeezed the words out from between his teeth: "Give this king a chance, huh?" ”

Sixi's father-in-law was embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let the prince serve the emperor all the time." ”

"Dressing your daughter-in-law is not called serving, but being knowledgeable and interesting." Duan Baiyue went out all the way, forced him to the guards, smiled and waved his hand, "Father-in-law, let's go back and rest quickly." ”

Seeing that the eldest father-in-law, who was finally looking forward to coming back, was helped into the sedan chair and carried out the door, a circle of little attendants wanted to cry - don't go!

Duan Baiyue turned around and returned to the dormitory, Chu Yuan had already changed into his dragon robe and was yawning lazily.

Duan Baiyue stepped forward and kissed him on the lips: "Are you awake?" ”

Chu Yuan planted his head on his chest: "I'm even more sleepy." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Let you sleep for a while, but you won't." ”

Chu Yuan closed his eyes and squinted for a while, until the chamberlain whispered outside, saying that the dragon chariot was ready, and then he went out hand in hand.

Duan Baiyue found a place opposite the Golden Palace to level the roof, lying down while blowing the wind, while waiting for him to go down to the morning court. Who knew that it didn't take long for an attendant to bring soft chairs and fruits, and set up a place to rest in the courtyard.

The waiter smiled and said, "Lord Wang, please." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "The roof is very good. ”

The chamberlain insisted: "The roof is too ugly." ”

Looking at the fragrant big soft chair, Duan Baiyue hesitated, and really didn't have the courage to lie down.

The chamberlain knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Lord Wang! ”

……

Duan Yao Meimei woke up from sleep, and Mei Zizi came to his brother with fried chestnuts with sugar, but she was shocked when she pushed the door.

Duan Baiyue held a handful of melon seeds in her hand and looked at him calmly.

Duan Yao: "......"

Duan Yao said: "It's good if you're happy." ”

Duan Baiyue's head buzzed, and he casually raised a palm wind and slapped his younger brother out.

The attendants around him all pinched a cold sweat, after all, no one had ever served such a violent ...... before Empress? Rajah?

It's scary.

When Chu Yuan just came back the day before yesterday, the backlog of government affairs in the DPRK and the central government had already been dealt with, so there were only a few officials in the early dynasty, and the rest of them carefully watched the faces of the emperor and the Taifu, and when they heard the word "scattered dynasty", they fled and seemed to retire, and there were timid officials, and even their backs were soaked in cold sweat.

"How?" In the dining room, Duan Baiyue handed over a bowl of white porridge.

"Master Taifu? He didn't say anything, but he guessed that he would wait for me to go to the imperial study. Chu Yuan wiped his mouth for him, "What about you?" Where did you go to sleep again? ”

"Not really." Duan Baiyue said distressedly, "A circle of attendants followed me, and they were not allowed to sleep on the roof, so they set up a big chair in the courtyard and cried for me to sleep." ”

Chu Yuan: "......"

"I think you're bullying me again." Duan Baiyue tapped his nose with the tail of chopsticks, "Don't know? ”

Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "It's my negligence, it's just been two days since I came back, I'm afraid that the people in the palace don't know how to serve you, and no one can ask about Sixi when he is sick, so he can only chase him around." ”

Duan Baiyue said from the bottom of her heart: "It's scary. ”

"Just like you, you still want to sleep on a blanket of peacock feathers." Chu Yuan patted his side face, and his tone was very sympathetic.

Duan Baiyue leaned his face over.

Chu Yuan pinched his chin and turned it right, and stuffed a small bun into his hand.

Breakfast was just served, and sure enough, someone came to spread the word, saying that Master Taifu had already waited in the imperial study. Duan Baiyue sighed: "Yes, I can't hide." ”

"I didn't think I'd be hiding." Chu Yuan said, "In the early years, I had some worries, because the frontier was unsettled and fledgling, and I couldn't be willful and arrogant. But now that the military power of Sihai Shengping is in hand, the people who have been inserted by the Tao family over the years have already become my people, and this way is not so much to hide as to worry. ”

Duan Baiyue said, "Huh? ”

"Taifu is my mentor, just like the master is to you." Chu Yuan smiled, "This is a clique in the DPRK and China, although my teacher and I have mutual suspicions, but after so many years, he has finally given advice to me wholeheartedly." If it weren't for his power, when I first ascended the throne, Da Chu would have been in chaos for two more years. ”

Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows: "So powerful?" ”

"Now that the dust has settled, Taifu is also old." Chu Yuan held his hands, "I can naturally make a holy decree and send him back to his hometown to spend his old age in peace." But if possible, I would prefer to let Taifu stay in the court, at least drink a glass of your and my happy wine. ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Do you want me to help you?" ”

"It's good that you don't get angry with him twice." Chu Yuan said, "Let's go, go to the imperial study." ”

"Don't worry too much." Duan Baiyue walked with him and said, "In addition to your marriage to me, Taifu should have another thing to look for you." ”

"You mentioned it yesterday." Chu Yuan said, "What is it?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Bolunluo." ”

Chu Yuan's eyes were a little puzzled.

"It's a ghost ship that appeared in the South China Sea." Duan Baiyue picked the key points and said again, "Have you heard of it?" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head hesitantly.

"Let's go and hear what Taifu has to say first." Duan Baiyue said, "It's not too late to make a decision later." ”

Along with Tao Rende, there was also Wen Liunian, holding a thick stack of books in his hand, all of which were records of Bharunra.

"The Demon Monk of the Western Regions, the Ghost Ship of the South Seas?" Chu Yuan frowned.

"Yes." Wen Liunian said, "Wechen has checked a lot of information, but most of them are folk rumors, and because they have disappeared for many years, even the Lord of the Shen Alliance knows very little about them. ”

"What do you think?" Chu Yuan asked.

"It's a careless matter." Tao Rende said, "Even if the other party will not land for the time being, but there are many islands in the South Seas, I am afraid that this group of demon monks will entrench themselves in one side and secretly grow their power, just like the previous group of rebels, sooner or later they will pose a threat to Dachu." ”

"What Taifu said is extremely true." Chu Yuan said: "It's just that the sea area of the South Sea is vast, and that senior Tu can't tell where he saw the Bolunluo, and it's a little tricky to deal with it." ”

"It's better for the emperor to send a few teams of men and horses first, disguised as a voyage caravan, and pay attention all the way." Wen Liunian said, "If that Polun is really ill-intentioned, she will definitely appear again." ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "When Qianfan comes back tomorrow, let him come to see me." ”

Wen Liunian received the order, bowed down and exited the imperial study, and saw Duan Baiyue standing opposite, so he said, "I just finished talking about the matter of Bolunluo, and Lord Taifu is still inside. ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Thank you, sir." ”

"The prince might as well go next door for a cup of tea, sit and wait." Wen Liunian lowered his voice, "According to the emperor's temperament, this conversation won't take long, so don't worry." ”

The waiter came in with fragrant tea, and Chu Yuan said with a smile: "It's the Wuyi tea that Lord Taifu likes, and I specially asked for it from Wen Aiqing." ”

Tao Rende knelt down and said: "I implore the emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown." ”

Chu Yuan sighed: "Master Taifu, why bother. ”

"The old minister is ashamed of the trust of the emperor." Tao Rende burst into tears and knocked on the ground with his head.

"Don't you try to persuade me?" Chu Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand.

Tao Rende said dejectedly: "The emperor won't listen." ”

Chu Yuan stepped down from the dragon chair and sat cross-legged opposite him as a child, and instructed the chamberlain to bring in a few cushions and help Tao Rende sit down.

"The first time I saw Taifu when I was a child, it was in this imperial study." Chu Yuan smiled, "It's more than twenty years in a blink of an eye." ”

Tao Rende looked old.

"Do you have to marry a woman you don't love?" Chu Yuan rested his chin on his knee and tilted his head to look at him.

"The emperor has made up his mind, so why bother to ask the ministers again." Tao Rende shook his head.

"Xiao Man is Chu Xiang's son." Chu Yuan handed him a cup of tea, "I was taken out of the country by Jin Niang just after the full moon, and it happened that I was taken in by the Southwest Mansion." ”

Tao Rende took the teacup and said tremblingly: "Emperor Xie." ”

"The people of the Southwest Province have never coveted the throne." Chu Yuan leaned against the wall, more like he was talking to himself, "From the crown prince to the throne, this journey is not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, I can't compare to him." In order not to make others suspicious, he has borne the infamy of wolf ambition for many years, and how many times he has stepped on the tip of the knife to step on blood, just to please me in front of my father. At least half of those political achievements praised by Master Taifu were done by him, but who knows except me. ”

Tao Rende was dumbfounded.

"After that, it was the time when the mountain split, I thought he could easily take Chu Jiang's life, but I didn't know that he was concentrating on practicing at that time, and he shouldn't have been out of the customs." Chu Yuan's eyes were red, "Because of a letter from me, he suffered from ten years of poison and heart-eating, and then he couldn't survive it, so he hid in an ice room, trying to make me forget him." ”

Tao Rende just sighed.

"If you can forget, why wait so many years." Chu Yuan smiled bitterly, "The battle of the South China Sea was hard, he was injured and fell into the sea, how many times did the sword light and sword shadow hang by a thread, but fortunately, everything has passed, isn't it?" ”

Tao Rende stood up tremblingly.

Chu Yuan said: "There are only two people I want to invite to the royal city wedding banquet the most, one is the predecessor of Nanmo Evil, he is still unconscious and uncertain about his life and death in order to save me, and the other person is Lord Taifu." ”

Tao Rende bowed down and said, "Please also ask the emperor to promise the old minister." ”

Chu Yuan looked at him: "Lord Taifu still insists on refusing to stay?" ”

Tao Rende was silent.

"That's fine." Chu Yuan sighed, "I will make an order tomorrow and send someone to send my teacher back to my hometown." ”

Tao Rende said: "After resigning, the old minister still wants to be in Wangcheng...... Stay a few more years and bring grandchildren. ”

Chu Yuan was stunned, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

"Your Majesty." Tao Rende saluted, wiped his tears when he exited the door, but did not stop.

After a while, Duan Baiyue pushed the door in: "How was the talk?" ”

Chu Yuan hugged him and buried his face in front of his chest.

"Crying?" Duan Baiyue patted him on the back.

"Master Taifu has resigned." Chu Yuan said in a muffled voice.

Duan Baiyue paused and comforted softly: "At a great age, it's not bad to go back to your hometown to raise birds and farm." ”

"Actually, it's to be expected." Chu Yuan raised his head, "My father entrusted me to Lord Taifu when he was dying, but now I insist on marrying you. ”

"Feeling sick?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"Not really." Chu Yuan said, "Taifu promised to stay in the royal city and come to have a happy wine with you and me." ”

"It's not good." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "The matter is settled, go back and rest for a while?" I didn't sleep much last night, and I woke up before dawn this morning. ”

"Why don't you ask me about Bharamara." Chu Yuan said.

"I was waiting for you outside, and I happened to meet Lord Wen." Duan Baiyue said, "You want to hand over this matter to General Shen?" ”

"Not necessarily, but at least ask him what he thinks." Chu Yuan said, "Qian Feng wrote a letter to ask the ghost hand divine doctor, and the other side of the East China Sea, I will also send a secret letter later, first see if your predecessors know about this group of Bo Lunluo." ”

"Cloud senior?" Duan Baiyue nodded, "That's right, the tide cliff can't be given for nothing." ”

"It's just a group of demon monks, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Chu Yuan said, "Let's go, don't mention this, go back to sleep." ”

"I'm carrying you?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan lay on his back leisurely, too lazy to be reasonable.

The waiter outside had already prepared a sedan chair, but he didn't expect the prince to come out with the emperor on his back, so he had to hurriedly lift the empty sedan chair, follow the two from a distance, and wait for the summons to come forward to serve.

Tao Rende's resignation was not long before everyone became known. In the afternoon, Liu Dajiong came to the door with two jars of old wine, forcibly woke him up from the bed, and insisted on going to the garden to have a drink.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Tao Rende was exhausted.

Liu Dajiong sighed: "If you leave, who else in the court can invite me to eat fire." ”

Tao Rende blew his beard: "You sigh for a long time, are you regretting this?" ”

"Oh, not so." Liu Dajiong put down his wine glass, "From now on, you will plant flowers at home and raise your grandchildren to enjoy Qingfu, leaving me alone to do my best in the court, and I have not yet eaten on fire." "It's tearful.

Tao Rende drank in a sullen voice, and really didn't want to talk to this person anymore.

On the morning of the second day, the civil and military officials looked at the position of the Taifu that suddenly vacated at the front, and they were all embarrassed in their hearts, but they also understood a little more that the relationship between the emperor and the southwest mansion was settled.

can mix like a fish in water in the court, and few are fools, since the situation is already like this, then what is there to fight, it is better to be a muffled gourd, just waiting for the big wedding next year. Fortunately, now there is a candidate for the crown prince, although he is the son of Chu Xiang, he grew up in the southwest mansion since he was a child, and it is said that his conduct is quite upright.

Three days later, hundreds of invitations were sent around the country and around the clock, and the wedding date was set for August of the following year, the best time of the year.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the mountains and forests outside the city were soaked in layers of frost leaves, Duan Baiyue found a flat big stone and let Chu Yuan sit and rest—it was rare to have free time today, so the two of them made an appointment to go out of the city to climb the mountain, and the water was murmuring all the way to the sky full of red leaves, and even the mood was relaxed.

"To eat or not to eat?" Duan Baiyue handed him a handful of red berries the size of peas, "Sour." ”

Chu Yuan had already stretched out his hand, but when he heard it, he turned his back back: "Don't be sour." ”

"This kind of small fruit is only interesting when it is sour." Duan Baiyue threw it into her mouth, "It's just fun to eat, when I was a child, Master often used this to deceive Yao'er." ”

"Is there one in the Southwest?" Chu Yuan took one from his hand and sipped it open with the tip of his tongue, it was really sour and astringent.

"This small fruit can climb vines, and it can grow when there is a piece of land." Duan Baiyue said, "It can also be dried to make snacks." ”

"Is there a letter from the Southwest?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Well, the master is still the same." Duan Baiyue hugged him into her arms, "But one day I'll wake up, don't worry." ”

Because of the medicine of the ghost hand and the miracle doctor, this time he did not bury people in the grave again, but kept them in the ice room of the back mountain, and sent troops to guard the entrance of the cave, hoping that one day he would rush out with messy hair and cry out for hunger as before.

With a beloved by his side, time always flies, and it seems that not long after returning to the royal city, he has already brought the snow wax moon.

Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin said goodbye and returned to Sun Moon Villa last month, and Duan Yao also slipped out of the royal city in disgust, and didn't know where to go. Lord Wen's father and eldest brother dragged the family with their mouths, and happily came to the royal city for the New Year, bringing a lot of food unique to the south of the Yangtze River, and also sent a lot to the palace, a huge smoked pig's head was placed at the top of the gift box, with fruit trees stuffed in the mouth, and a red ribbon, Duan Baiyue looked strange, and circled around for most of the day.

The chamberlain returned the matter to the emperor, and Chu Yuan was surprised: "Do you want to eat it so much?" ”

"Not really." The waiter said firmly, "The prince surrounded the pig's head, and he saw that there was also a cup of tea." ”

So that night, Duan Baiyue ate cold pork ears, fried pork skin with chili peppers, sliced arch mouth, and hot yellow throat and meat slices in the hot pot.

"Eat more." Chu Yuan intimately picked up vegetables for him, and by the way, he reflected in his heart, whether he had been eating too much vegetarian with him recently, and he was hungry.

Duan Baiyue didn't know what to do, but she was quite happy to eat.

So Chu Yuan's eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at him, and after returning from the imperial study at night, he asked the imperial dining room to make a pot of pork rib soup full of meat.

The eunuchs and maids of the whole palace are envious, and the emperor and the prince are really in love.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Duan Baiyue went to the street to buy some rare small things for Chu Yuan, so that he could please him for the New Year, but he didn't pay attention to it, and a person rushed across the street, opening his arms and smiling.

The surrounding people gasped, dumbfounded, amazing, there are disciples who want to be light on the prince.

"Brother Duan!" Sikong Rui reunited after a long absence, with tears in his eyes.

Duan Baiyue calmly dodged away.

Sikong Rui planted his head on the jewelry stall.

……

After compensating the stall owner's losses, Sikong Rui pulled Duan Baiyue and blackmailed a meal of abalone and sea cucumber in the middle of the mountains and seas, and then took Xiuxiu and his son into the palace with satisfaction.

Chu Yuan said with a smile: "With the Sikong Shaoxia family, the New Year is also lively." ”

Sixi hurriedly sent someone to clean a side hall, and he could see the royal city when he climbed up, and the view was excellent.

Sikong Rui sighed, the two fox friends and dog friends, they have been cheated for so many years, and this time they finally got some benefits.

Xiao Man was not in the palace, and he secretly went to Nanyang with the army a few months ago to track down the whereabouts of Bharunluo, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return until next summer.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu Yuan feasted the courtiers and returned to the dormitory with a slight drunkenness, and under the layers of gauze tents, a pair of misty eyes were reflected.

"Are you comfortable?" Duan Baiyue kissed wetly all the way.

Chu Yuan's index finger swept across the side of his face, and he said in a dumb voice, "I won't tell you." ”

Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows, held his hand and pressed it heavily on the side of the pillow, galloping wantonly on the young body, until she forced the person to scream and beg for mercy, and then slowed down her movements.

Outside, the inner circle held his hands, his eyes and nose and his heart, very calm.

It's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it.

In Xiaoye Temple, Miaoxin was knocking on the wooden fish and muttering sutras, but there was a sound of wind behind him.

Miaoxin frowned slightly, didn't say a word, and didn't look back.

"The emperor of Da Chu is going to get married." The other party's voice was old, "With a man." ”

Miao Xin shook her head: "You shouldn't be here. ”

"Don't you want to stop it?" The man in black said, "Before the wedding, everything still has time to change, otherwise, what do you think the future generations will say about this emperor?" ”

Miaoxin's voice was not shocked: "The emperor has made up his mind, what can the poor monk do if he is a monk." ”

"Since you can't change your mind, why don't you just ......" The man in black held his shoulder, bent down close to his ear, and muttered like a demagogue, "Kill him!" ”

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Miaoxin's eyes, mixed with pain and struggle.

"Kill him and stop this big wedding." The man in black suddenly clenched his shoulders, his nails almost embedded in the flesh, "Forget this clay statue in front of you, the emperor who is high in the royal city is the only god you want to worship in your heart, no one can tarnish his prestige, no one." ”

The images on the warship came to mind one after another, and Miaoxin's face was painfully distorted, and she raised her hand and slapped the palm on the chest of the man in black, pushing him out of the window.

The rosary broke, splashed to the ground and rolled around, and Miao Xin sat on the ground, her eyes were red, and she almost crushed her fist.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Son of Heaven will lead hundreds of civil and military officials to sacrifice to heaven.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, envoys from various countries should be entertained.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the little prince of the Mobei clan ate too many sugar dates, screaming and crying out in pain, and Chu Yuan had to visit early in the morning.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year......

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year......

It wasn't until the Lantern Festival that Chu Yuan finally had a day of leisure, and Duan Baiyue said, "Do you want to go out and have a look?" Today's Lantern Festival, Wangcheng should be very lively. ”

"It's very lively, guess the lantern riddles and enjoy the lanterns, but if you and I go out of the palace this time, I'm afraid that we will be watched all the way." Chu Yuan patted his chest.

Duan Baiyue regretted: "Yes."

"Come on." Chu Yuan dragged his hand and walked all the way to the Imperial Garden.

"What are you going to do on a cold day?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"You'll know when you go." Chu Yuan didn't allow him to talk more, and walked through the nine-curved corridor, but there was a bright light in front of him when he turned the corner. Countless lanterns were hung on the treetops, like falling stars, endless, candles flickering and jumping, dyed orange through cotton paper.

"You got it?" Duan Baiyue was unexpected.

"Yours." Chu Yuan took him by the hand, stood under the biggest lantern, and said with a smile, "Although it is not as lively as outside, the lanterns are the same, and no one has disturbed them." Do you want to eat Lantern Festival? The Imperial Dining Room specially bought Shiba ...... outside today Not. ”

Duan Baiyue dragged the back of his head with one hand, closed his eyes and kissed him very warmly.

The chamberlain hurriedly turned around and tiptoed back a distance, so as not to disturb the emperor and the prince.

"Don't bother preparing next time." Duan Baiyue rubbed the corner of his lips with her thumb, "I just said casually, it's not a seven or eight-year-old doll, I have to watch this kind of excitement, I just want to meet you and go out to relax." ”

"And." Chu Yuan said.

"And?" Duan Baiyue hesitated.

A firework suddenly bloomed in the sky, like a golden waterfall hanging from the dome, illuminating the Imperial Garden for a moment. When the people in the royal city saw it, their cheers became louder and louder, and the little doll laughed and applauded, and every time she saw the fireworks go up, she jumped and raised her hands, as if she wanted to hold that beautiful moment.

"All for me?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan hugged him and shook him: "Do you like it?" ”

"Recently, I saw that you were so busy that you couldn't take care of eating, and you still have the heart to prepare for this." Duan Baiyue nodded his nose, "No wonder Sixi is also chattering with a god." ”

"Let's talk about whether you like it or not!" Chu Yuan tugged at his ear.

"You sent me, how can I not like it." Duan Baiyue pressed against his forehead, "It's a pity that I can't hide it, and I have to share it with the people of the whole king city." ”

"Be a little bigger." Chu Yuan patted his chest, "After all, you are the queen." "You have to keep it private when you see a firework, and it's not easy to write history books.

Duan Baiyue pulled his palm and stuffed a small cloth bag: "For you." ”

"What?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Open it and take a look." Duan Baiyue pulled him to sit on the fence.

"Sugar?" Chu Yuan smiled, "Where did you come from?" ”

"Do it yourself." Duan Baiyue said, "I used the pine nuts you like, as well as the honey I asked for from Old Madam Wen." ”

Chu Yuan chewed a small grain and it was fragrant in his mouth.

"Huh?" Duan Baiyue looked at him.

Chu Yuan hugged his neck: "It's delicious." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "That's called Xianggong." ”

Chu Yuan said: "Don't call." ”

Duan Baiyue was dissatisfied: "I was willing to call before, and I called many times." "Why do you suddenly refuse?

Chu Yuan said: "Because every time you listen to it, it's like crazy." ”

Duan Baiyue's chest tightened.

What does it mean to be crazy in general?

It is clear that the love is deep and it is difficult to commit suicide.

Chu Yuan said: "Xianggong." ”

Duan Baiyue was sitting precariously and was not crazy.

Chu Yuan pouted: "Don't call next time." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

So the sedan chair prepared by the chamberlain this night was not used, because the prince didn't even bother to walk this time, so he directly hugged the emperor and flew back to the palace, which was exactly the same as the legendary story in the storyteller's mouth.

It's thrilling.
