Chapter 165: The First Year of the Xi Dynasty
The snow is beginning to clear, and it is covered in silver.
In the sound of firecrackers all over the city, Kaifeng Mansion ushered in the first New Year after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the air was filled with the smell of festivity.
There were more people on the streets again, and everyone was jubilant when they saw each other.
Children ride on the shoulders of adults, and there are groups of people rolling in the snow, and they will not be beaten if they are caught by their parents, otherwise they will be beaten up all year round.
A carriage squeaked, Chen Shou yawned in the car, Li Lingyue saw him like this, remembered the madness of the two people last night, bit his lip and his face was red, and he was a little embarrassed. simply took him in his arms and said, "Sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when it's time." ”
Chen Shou nodded, lay directly on the chair in the car, pillowed Li Lingyue's thigh, and let out a slight snoring sound after a while.
When the carriage arrived at the palace, the palace doors opened one after another, and they all recognized Chen Shou's car.
Soon, Zhang He whispered outside the window: "My lord, madam, we have arrived." ”
Li Lingyue gently pushed, Chen Shou opened his eyes in a daze, and said, "Arrived?" ”
Xue Shao next to him tied a cloak to him, Chen Shou and Li Lingyue lifted the curtain and got out of the car, Xue Shao looked out of the car window secretly. Under the high palace wall, looking at the occasional corner of the cornices poking out outside the wall, it seems that the heavenly palace occasionally appears under the clear blue sky.
Is this the Imperial Palace? It's really magnificent, I don't know if it's the building or the special status here, Xue Shao always feels that it gives people a sense of coercion, which makes people sigh a little about their insignificance.
Chen Shou took Li Lingyue and stepped into the Inner Servant Province, and Xue Shao hurriedly followed, carrying a gift box in his hand.
Inside, two little chamberlains greeted him, hugged his fists with a smile and said, "Say hello to Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou." ”
Chen Shou nodded and asked, "Everyone has a healthy New Year, what about my godfather?" ”
"Inside, I knew that Master Hou was coming, so I waited early."
Chen Shou turned around and smiled at Li Lingyue, and came in hand in hand, this hut is very neat? There's a table of eight immortals on the ground? Four chairs.
Miaode sat on a futon, wrapped in a black fox fur? Was it given to him by Chen Shou this year? When he saw them come in, Miao De smiled and was about to stand up.
Chen Shou hurriedly stepped forward? Holding him down, he hugged his fists and said, "Godfather? Shou'er has a New Year's greeting for you. ”
Li Lingyue standing behind him? smiled and bowed, and called his father-in-law sweetly.
Miao De was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Okay, sit down?" Sit down. "Miao De is full of white hair? He himself is already very old, and last year he folded three brothers in life and death, and he was even more emaciated.
"Little Zhuozi, quickly bring the candied fruit sent from the imperial dining room yesterday."
Chen Shou said with a smile: "Godfather looks good. ”
"No, sooner or later, go with those three dead ghosts? I still dreamed of Yue Xiang yesterday, or is it that cheap? Hey. ”
Chen Shou sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "I asked Doctor Liu to give my godfather a pulse?" He went back and said that his godfather was in good health, and I think he could live another hundred years. "Stretch out your hand? "Pick it up." ”
Xue Shao, who was standing behind the chair, stepped forward slowly? Put the gift box on the table? Untie the ribbon to reveal a brocade box.
"Godfather, this is Shaoxing's Wugan dish, I asked someone to buy it from Nantang."
Miao De was overjoyed, he was from the south, and when he was a child, he escaped from the river because of an accident at home.
"It's hard for you to have this heart." Miao De asked his little attendant to quickly put it away.
The room was a little breathable, Chen Shou couldn't sit still, holding his hands, he slowly wandered in the room for a while, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Godfather, how is Your Majesty doing?" ”
"How long has it been since you've seen him?"
Chen Shou smiled and said, "He felt uncomfortable when he saw me, so he rarely went to face the saint. ”
Miao De smiled and said: "Then you don't care, my godfather has been in the palace for decades and has served the Son of Heaven for several generations, these things can't be simpler, my godfather will definitely help you take care of Your Majesty, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Chen Shou walked to the window, pushed open the window, breathed in the fresh air, looked at the eaves of the palace wall in the distance, and said with a smile: "Then there is Lao Ganda." ”
"Do you want to stay here for dinner?"
"No, I have to go to the summer palace."
Miao De smiled: "That's okay, our family is old, our teeth are not good, and the food we eat is too soft, you can't get used to it." ”
Miao De stood up, sent them out, and said to Li Lingyue before leaving: "Hurry up and give Brother Shou'er a big fat boy." ”
"Okay!" Li Lingyue replied crisply.
"What a good girl." Looking at Li Lingyue, who was generous and smiling, Miao De also laughed.
After getting into the carriage, Chen Shou was a little embarrassed, looked at Li Lingyue and said, "You really want to go?" ”
"Why don't you go, no matter what, that's my sister too."
Chen Shou sneered and said: "It's okay to go, but when you go back, you will be jealous, but you can't sprinkle the fire on me." ”
Li Lingyue snorted coldly and turned his head, obviously he had this plan for a long time, and was told by Chen Shou.
Chen Shou glanced at Xue Shao next to him, who gave him a helpless look.
"I knew... Alas, Zhang He, go to the summer palace! Chen Shou shouted helplessly, carefully venting his dissatisfaction.
In the summer palace, Li Lingfeng was lying on the soft collapse, which was already round and pregnant at this time.
Zhiqin was beside him, and his slender fingers gently plucked the strings, playing some soothing tunes.
The door curtain was opened, and the little maid Tuan'er walked in and said, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss and Hou Ye are here." ”
Li Lingfeng's eyes opened suddenly, and he was very nervous, "Come together?" ”
"Yes, they have all arrived at the palace gate, and the Hou Ye sent his guards to inform in advance."
Li Lingfeng hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Fetch me some clothes." ”
She sat down at the dresser, picked up a piece of red paper that had dyed her lips, and pressed her lips.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Li Lingfeng suddenly wiped his lips clean again, stopped combing his head, and lay motionless on the couch.
"Miss?" Zhiqi held the clothes he brought and asked strangely, "Don't you change your clothes?" ”
Li Lingfeng covered a thin quilt and said, "Don't wear it, when we talk for a while, you will inadvertently let in the wind, saying that I can't get up for a few days and can't get out of bed." ”
Zhiqi nodded, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is really smart, and the maid is convinced." ”
Li Lingfeng is well-maintained, and Chen Shou constantly asks Doctor Liu to come to see him, his body is very good, and he has to go out for a walk every day. Zhiqi knew of course that he understood his master's mind at once, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Good little hoof, even you dare to make fun of me."
As he was talking, there was a cough outside, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that Chen Shou was coming.
Li Lingfeng hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
