This night was indeed the most "moldy" Chinese New Year's Eve night he had ever spent without a blade.

He and Xiao Hanyu first accompanied the little niece to watch the fireworks, which made the little guy giggle, and then, when the little guy was tired of playing, he was carried back to the dormitory by Liuli to rest, leaving him and the little girl alone in the brightly lit garden.

"Tired?" He asked the girl next to him.

"Not tired." The little girl shook her head without hesitation, obviously, playing with the county lord of Xiangming, no matter how long she played, she was full of interest.

"Is that cold?" Li Wujian smiled slightly, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he had already raised his two arms personally and gathered the thick big for her.

"Not cold...... Xiao Hanyu saw his gentle movements clearly, blinked on the spot, and pretended to reply calmly.

The young emperor tightened his grip on her, as if it were not enough, and took her into his own arms and told her to lean against him.

Xiao Hanyu couldn't help the deer from ramming into him, but in the end he still obediently snuggled on his shoulder.

"I'm having a good day." She suddenly heard him say this, and turned her head to look at his smiling eyebrows, "In the past, during the Chinese New Year, I was alone. ”

Xiao Hanyu wants to say, isn't there still Xiao Xiangxiang? And two years earlier, Princess Lian and his wife were also there, so they should always go into the palace to accompany him, right? But after thinking about it, no matter how Princess Lian and his wife accompany him, since King Lian has been crowned king, I am afraid that he still has to go back to the house to keep the New Year, and the little county lord will naturally follow them back. His mother died early, his father was often ill, and there were only a bunch of flowery emperors and concubines left in the palace, and he was indeed unaccompanied.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel that, in fact, he had been quite lonely all these years.

Not...... Wait, she remembers, he seems to have a teenage brother. But...... I was at the banquet just now, and I didn't see anyone, did you?

"Brother Huang?"

Xiao Hanyu, who realized it later, was thinking like this, and a young man's voice happened to come from behind him. She and Li Wujian almost looked back in unison, and what caught their eyes was a teenager who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Brother Huang, it's really you."

Brother Royal...... So, he is the third prince who only hears his name and does not see his people?

Seeing the young man striding towards him with a smile, Xiao Hanyu looked at him with a little curiosity, but Li Wujian quickly smiled and looked at him with a calm face.

"Know you're back?"

The young man smiled heartily, didn't say much, and looked directly at the woman beside his brother.

"I think this is the imperial sister-in-law." He politely bowed to Xiao Hanyu, and when the woman saw this, she hurriedly returned the salute, but she didn't care about the title in his mouth.

"Ahem...... It's not an imperial sister-in-law yet. In contrast, Li Wuji, who was more familiar with etiquette and rules, coughed lightly twice, correcting the inaccurate title of the visitor.

Unexpectedly, when the young man heard his words, he was immediately taken aback, and shouted: "Isn't it the imperial sister-in-law?!" Brother Huang, you didn't have a queen?! ”

Li Wujian was so angry by his deliberate fuss reaction that he was afraid that he was itching, if it weren't for Xiao Hanyu's presence, he would probably want to directly reward this little brother as before.

"You have been wandering outside all year round, how much do you know about the affairs in the palace? As soon as he came back, he chirped crookedly...... "When the elder brother glanced at the younger brother, although the tone of his speech was not serious, he immediately asked the younger brother to refute it.

"Brother Huang, you can't use this word correctly, what do you mean by 'chirp crooked'? The younger brother was born suave and handsome, how did he become a 'chirp crooked' in your mouth? ”

"Aren't you chirping right now?"

"Where do I have it!"

Xiao Hanyu on the side was speechless.

The character of this brother of the Son of Heaven is really ...... Larger than life.

"Imperial sister-in-law, no, uh, sister? You say, have I chirped crookedly? As she pondered silently, she heard the dignified young man coldly kick the ball at her.

How did she answer that?

Xiao Hanyu was also embarrassed, and immediately glared at his familiar brother, and said unhappily: "Don't pull others in." I ask you, why didn't you rush back to the palace banquet? ”

The young man was still pouting because of his brother's first half of the sentence, but when he listened to his words, the expression on his face immediately changed to a smile.

"This ...... Something happened on the way. ”

"It is a great sin to deceive the king."

“……”

Xiao Hanyu, who is currently only in charge of auditing, suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth: Does he like to scare people with these words?

"It's not...... It was a real accident on the way! Originally, I had calculated that I was going to rush back to accompany the royal brother for the New Year, but our horse, it suddenly had diarrhea halfway, and it happened to be in that kind of deserted place, so we had to wait and wait, and waited for most of the day before the ox cart passed by. Ouch, hey, Brother Huang! You don't know that the ox cart stinks, but it smoked me to death. Later, I lay in a small inn for a whole day before I could barely recover. With such a toss, time will be delayed! ”

Listening to the young man complaining to himself in a matter-of-fact manner, Li Wuji, who knew his temperament well, only stared at his eyes expressionlessly.

"You won't leave a few days early? Do you have to step on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to return to Beijing? ”

Just a cold sentence made the young man choke so much that he couldn't make a sound. In a moment, his expression suddenly changed, revealing a flattering smile, leaning behind Li Wuji's back, raising his two arms, and personally beating his imperial brother on the back.

"This, it's true that the younger brother is greedy for the beautiful scenery along the way, and he didn't set aside enough time, and the younger brother is at fault, so don't worry about the younger brother, right?"

"Humph......"

"Ah, brother Huang, it's rare for my brother to come back once, so you can give me a smile!"

"You also know that you're 'rarely' coming back once?"

"......" really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

The young man who was speechless for a while rolled his eyes, and suddenly gave Xiao Hanyu, who was "standing by", a look.

However, people don't know you well at all, okay?

The woman who was suddenly rescued was also slightly drunk, having said that, after witnessing a series of changes in the young man's expressions of pleading, flattering and cute, she still adhered to the principle of "being kind to others", and persuaded her: "Your Majesty, since the three princes can't compensate you, it's better to forgive him this time, right?" ”

The royal brother, who was being served by his younger brother, suddenly glanced at his little girl dissatisfied: This hasn't been officially introduced yet, so she helped this kid speak?

As he thought so, he suddenly heard a dog barking from far and near.

At the same time, the young man who was beating his back behind his back also heard about this movement that should not have been here.

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a voice that made him immediately startled.

"Big white, big white! Oops, don't run! The master will be back in a moment! ”

Great!? Didn't you let Xiao Quanzi be optimistic about it?!

At the first thought, he suddenly remembered something, and then his eyes flickered, and he met a gaze that was unexpectedly cast at him.

"Ugh! Brother Huang! Let's go shopping elsewhere! ”

It was too late, and when the brothers realized something one after another, and one of them had turned pale, a large white dog was already running towards them merrily—to be precise, it smelled its master in the smell of the yard, and was eager to pounce on him.

Xiao Quanzi or something, it can't stop its heroic and tall figure, let alone others - it only obeys the orders of its master!

However, in fact, at this moment, a certain dog is unwilling to obey even the orders of his master. Because, the longing for the master is better than a qiē!

It was too late to say that it was too late, and it finally found the handsome and upright figure of its master in the vast dark night, and then rushed towards its master regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one.

Well? There seemed to be two people I didn't know standing next to the owner. Regardless of it, it is more important to be with the owner.

The big white dog, with its sturdy body, spread its legs, spread its paws, and leaped towards its dear master.

"Don't, Dabai!"
