The observation deck is a little lower, but it's a good place to get a view.

A long stone bridge stretches to the pavilion and water pavilion in the river, where the palace concubines all enjoy the scenery and listen to the opera.

It is the middle of winter, and the Luo River has also frozen, and the water pavilion that was originally rippling in the river has frozen with the ice, but this does not affect the mood of the view.

"Shall we go find the?" Chu Yue got out of the carriage late and looked at the water pavilion over there.

"No, we have somewhere else."

Chu Yongwang took her hand and walked down the steps on the side of the observation deck to the riverside, which was originally a cruise ship dock, and the lanterned painting boat had been docked on the shore, but now it could not be opened.

But in a blink of an eye, they saw horses dragging sleds across the ice and coming to them.

The eyes of the early moon night are illuminated by the light.

"Wanwan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are down!" On the sleigh, Yun Jinshu smiled brightly.

"Little uncle!" The first moon immediately flew up again and pounced on him.

"Come on!" Yun Jinshu hugged her firmly and put her on the sleigh.

Chu Yongwang also got on the sleigh with the support of Jia Jingjing, Jing Qi followed, and after the group arrived, the coachman drove the horse and took them to enjoy the ice unhurriedly.

On the evening of the first moon, the cold wind on the slow sleigh is no longer cold, and when you look up, you can see the sky illuminated by fireworks.

The fireworks burst like a golden rain, and they walked through this brilliant rain curtain.

On the other side, people in the capital crowded the streets on the bridge, bringing their families to celebrate the upcoming New Year.

The performance on the evening of the first moon will start when the bell rings on the first day of the new year, and now she still has an hour to play outside, and there is still an hour to go to the Zhaohua Hall to eat delicious food.

She lay on her back on the sleigh covered with thick fur, and turned her head to look at her little uncle beside her.

Yun Jinshu looked at the sky with his arms on his pillow, and the sporadic fireworks flowed through his eyes.

Chu Yuewan stared at him in a daze, and even forgot about the fireworks in the sky.

It wasn't long before Yun Jinshu noticed her gaze and turned his head to smile at her.

"Late, late."

Yun Jin Shu said, "What are you looking at? "Look at you, little uncle.

Chu Yuewan shyly held her face and snickered, not saying it.

"Isn't there anything special about fireworks anymore?"

Yun Jinshu said, "I look at it every year, it's just a change of position, in the Zhaohua Palace, and the bridge and shore over there......" He pointed to those places, and the early moon followed his finger to look over.

Those are the places where they have been to the view, every festival in these years has flashed in the memory of the early moon evening, and now on the river, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Obon, Tanabata, Luo River water soup, she also took the painting boat in a river of sparks.

Some are in this life, some are in past lives.

No matter how beautiful the scene is, if you have seen it too many times, you will feel that it is not enough.

It's still fun, it's jubilant, but it doesn't seem to be so unique and irreplaceable.

But as long as there is a little uncle, Wanwan feels irreplaceable.

"If you have a chance in the future."

After Yun Jinshu pointed to the light, he put his arms behind his head again, "Take Wanwan to see the difference." ”

Chu Yuewan looked at him and smiled "um".

Suddenly, she looked at the sleigh on the ice in front of her: "Ah! The prince's brother is gone! Brilliant fireworks shone on the ice, a bright glow over the end of the horizon, and the sleigh that had thrown them away in front of them almost rushed down the glowing river into the sky.

"Cover your hat at night."

Yun Jinshu erected the thick fur collar on her cheeks, "Let's go after His Royal Highness the Prince!" Chu Yuewan hugged his arm tightly, and Yun Jinshu ordered the coachman to hurry up.

The sleigh left behind a hoof and laughter, and the night was bright and the north wind was cold.

At the moment, the fourth floor of the south of the Zhaohua Palace, the Yonghe Pavilion.

"Queen Mother-" Queen Yun, who was arranging her makeup and hair, saw the little baby in the mirror, and a smile appeared on her makeup-filled face.

The candles in the Zhaohua Hall are bright and extraordinarily warm.

As soon as the early moon came in the evening, he threw off his coat and jacket and pounced on her.

"The queen mother is so beautiful today!" Chu Yuewan knelt on her lap and said, "The queen mother is getting more and more beautiful every year~" Queen Yun couldn't help laughing, poking her soft face: "It's getting more and more powerful." ”

There is a dense curtain between the pavilion and the corridor, and through the candlelight, you can vaguely see the figures outside.

After a while, the palace people on both sides lifted the curtains, and Chu Yongwang walked in.

"Queen Mother, Erchen is back."

After Chu Yongwang saluted, he knelt at the door.

"Let's go change our clothes, the table will be open in a moment."

Queen Yun turned her eyes to look at her makeup today.

Fu Hui Hanxiang, who was already waiting in the Zhaohua Palace, came silently and led the early moon to retreat from the side.

Chu Yongwang didn't leave, Queen Yun still looked at the mirror, and a white shadow walked through the mirror and knelt outside the curtain.

"The Queen."

Yun Jinshu's voice sounded from behind the curtain.

"Where did the emperor arrange for my father to sit today?" Empress Yun asked nonchalantly.

"The fourth place on the right, the left minister Ren Zhixing South, and the Criminal Department Shangshu Chengcui North."

Queen Yun sighed slightly: "Still with this group of officials, it seems that the emperor still needs the Yun family." ”

"In the future, if the daughter of the left prime minister enters the palace, I'm afraid it won't be necessarily."

Yun Jinshu knelt outside and said, glancing at Chu Yongwang through the curtain.

Chu Yongwang knew that he was talking about his concubine, and frowned.

But this is not an unnecessary worry, if the emperor wants to add more chips to the prince's side, he has to let him have someone to help him in the court.

If Ren Shu of the Zuo Xiang family is canonized as the crown princess, the Yun family will gradually withdraw from the party that holds real power in the court to ensure that the prince's faction will not come out too obviously.

This court is like a scale, even if it wants to tilt to a certain side, it is firmly in the hands of the emperor.

"What about the other side?" Queen Cloud asked.

"The second one on the left is Prince Xiao of the Sixth Prince, Prince Su of the Second Prince, Prince Lu, and King Jingjun."

"No more."

Yun Jinshu stopped reporting the name and waited silently for her orders.

"Queen Mother......" Chu Yongwang looked at the back of Queen Yun.

Queen Yun fiddled with the ear bell, looked left and right at the bun, and changed the topic: "This white phoenix hairpin was given by your father last year, I don't know if it's too plain." ”

Chu Yongwang looked at the white phoenix on the side of her bun and said, "I remember that the queen mother also has a newly made national color Tianxiang pearl hairpin in the moon, and the red jade is very good, and it is lined with today's festivity, I don't know if I can bring it from the palace?" ”

"Say, thanks to Wang'er's reminder, otherwise this palace would have really forgotten."

Queen Yun smiled and ordered someone to bring that one, replacing the white phoenix on her head.

Chu Yongwang got up and said goodbye.

Empress Yun acquiesced, he hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out, and Yun Jinshu also got up and followed him.

"The eldest sister's worries are not unreasonable."

Yun Jinshu said, "At this time of year, it is easy to be remembered. Something unpleasant. ”

"It's like this every year, and I'm a little fed up."

Chu Yongwang said in a deep voice.

"What does Bai Fengchai say?" Yun Jinshu asked.

"It's not that it was rumored to be 'Dai Xiao' before, once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and whenever it was a banquet, the queen mother would never dare to wear something white."

Chu Yongwang said, "Even after so many years, there is still that shadow in my heart." ”

Yun Jinshu looked at the shadow under his feet uneasily.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Su's position has changed."

He said, "But is it because of what happened to the Imperial Garden before? ”

"It's not much of a punishment to move him one back."

Chu Yongwang said, "But to stay away from him is in line with the heart of this palace." ”

It seems that when the old is removed and the new is celebrated, there is a turbulent undercurrent.

Even a change in the number of seats affects everyone's hearts.

In addition to the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials, Empress Yun's position is next to the emperor, and Empress Dowager Ge is at the riverside observation deck tonight, and she is not present in Zhaohua Palace.

The third princess and the eighth princess all sat behind the emperor.

"Where is Wanwan?" Yun Jinshu asked.

"I don't know yet."

Chu Yongwang said, "I'll see it in a while." ”

They spread out around the corner of the hallway, each heading elsewhere.

The time for the opening of the banquet has finally arrived, and there is a grand scene of singing and dancing in the Zhaohua Palace.

Chu Yongwang was the first to sit down on the left of the old emperor, and said hello to the six emperor brothers beside him, and the sixth prince Chu Yongji nodded silently at him.

"Jiu'er."

Chu Yongnian raised his glass to greet Chu Yongwang from a distance.
