Chapter 199: The Gift of Birth
North Luo Jinnian Hall
————————————
After several heavy snowfalls in succession, Beiluo completely entered a bitterly cold winter, and even on sunny days, it was dripping into ice.
As the old saying goes: spring is born, summer is long, autumn is harvested, winter is hidden, and everything rests in winter, which is in accordance with the time of day. There is no need for farming, there is no war, and the nest can live in their own small house until spring, this is the most comfortable life of a farmer.
In such a winter, Jin Yan became more and more lazy, saying that he would come to the Jin Nian Hall every day for dinner, but in fact, it was more often a little message or a few rare things perfunctory.
Therefore, on a sunny day, when Jin Yan finally stepped into the Jin Nian Palace, she was greeted by a resentful performance.
"Imperial father, what does my mother look like?"
"Little Ashu, this question can't be answered by the imperial father, the last time I saw her, it was probably in my previous life!"
"Imperial Father, I think this person is a bit like my mother...... Emperor"
"Impossible! Why did you have eyes at such a young age? Take a walk, eat, add more nutrients, and don't be cranky all day long! ”
The father and daughter passed by Jin Yan with a gust of breeze, and left this breeze to her alone......
Jin Yan knew that he was at a loss, and after standing stupidly for a while, he found a place to sit down and quietly watched the two of them eat. She held her chin in one hand, listened to the sound of the casserole, the crisp sound of the cups clattering, the creaking of chewing food, and closed her eyes as she listened.
Then a greasy little hand woke her up......
"Mother Emperor, this chicken leg is for you to eat, I wish you a happy birthday!"
Jin Yanzheng was puzzled, and another voice complained: "If I don't give you an ultimatum, are you ready to never come back?" For the sake of your birthday, we don't care about you first, what should we do in the future? ”
Stared at by the two beams of eyes, Jin Yan felt ruthless in his heart, but he still raised his hand and said, "I promise, in the future...... Try to come back ......."
The eyes were still burning.
"Do everything I can to come back as much as I can......"
The burning gaze is getting more and more pressing.
"Definitely? Every day? Jin Yan asked tentatively.
The two aggressive gazes were finally replaced by a bright smile like a flower, Zhan Nian pulled Jin Yan to sit at the dining table, put a chicken leg in her bowl and said, "Good performance, this reward is for you!" ”
Xiao Ashu also came over and held a chicken leg in front of Jin Yan, "Mother Emperor, eat me first!" ”
In this case, Jin Yan's usual approach was impartial, so he took a small bite on each of the two chicken legs, "Well, it's delicious, I'm full, give both of them to Ashu." ”
Little Ashu's eyes lit up when he heard this. In addition to the sugar man, the second most delicious thing in the world is the fragrant chicken legs, she set her eyes on her imperial father, and saw that he didn't say anything, so she happily took it and ate it in a big gulp.
Jin Yan looked at Xiao Ashu gobbling up, and couldn't help but glance at Zhan Nian, so he saw a pair of eyes full of pride. Well, she thinks this kind of filial piety education and happiness cultivation methods are okay, you can do whatever you want......
After raising the chopsticks, she found that today's meal was extraordinarily rich, and she couldn't help but complain softly, "What are you doing with such a waste, I don't have a birthday." ”
In fact, Jin Yan used to have a birthday, and it was also a rare day of the year when she could have fun wantonly, and then the first empress died, and she was no longer on the birthday of the same cold winter, and over time even she had forgotten about it.
Zhan Nian also knew, he just felt that Jin Yan was too depressed to cover himself in the house all day, and it was rare to have such a special day, so he should take it easy. I can't do anything else, but it's okay to eat a good meal.
So, he put the same thing that Jin Yansu always likes to eat on the plate, and urged: "You eat quickly, the rest is mine, and it can't be wasted." ”
"And you." He explained to Ah Shu again, "You don't want to eat too much, how can you perform for the mother emperor in a while?" ”
"Oh?" Jin Yan came to be interested, "What is Ashu performing?" ”
Xiao Ashu immediately put down his chopsticks, and took out his wooden sword majestically, "Mother Emperor, I just learned a set of swordsmanship, and now the two Avi can't beat me!" ”
The little palace attendant Avi, who was mentioned by name, hurriedly laughed and said, "That's true, His Royal Highness danced his sword, majestic, like a general galloping on the battlefield, and the slaves and maids also admired it." ”
In the face of such naked praise, Xiao Ashu immediately put on a posture and danced with a small wooden sword.
Jin Yan saw in her heart, and she actually had a sense of satisfaction that my little girl had just grown up, and couldn't help but sigh to Zhan Nian: "Ashu handed it over to you, I'm very relieved." ”
What he said was obviously a compliment, but how could he hear the taste of life and death, Zhan Nian immediately frowned, "Ayan, I think you have been weird lately, is there something to hide from me?" "Good
Jin Yan was thinking about how to answer, and a face leaned over, "I went to look for you several times, and the palace attendants said that you were sleeping, and you applied thicker rouge than usual today, your little hands were cold, and your spirit was not good, are you sick?" ”
Jin Yan blinked in disbelief, "You can see this!" I've been obsessed with all kinds of books lately, and to be honest, I'm still sleepy! ”
"I'm worried that you will see the clues, so I deliberately changed the color of the rouge, is it ...... Don't you like it? ”
The big eyes asked Zhan Nian, and he was stunned at once. Jin Yan rarely uses bright colors, and when I see it once in a while, it's really a bit thrilling and uncomfortable, especially when he only looks at you so intently, what else can I say?
"I didn't ...... No, like, like......"
Zhan Nian's voice became smaller and smaller, and he turned his head back uncomfortably, and began to concentrate on Ashu's performance. Jin Yan gently patted the back of his hand and said with emotion: "Then again, without you, how can I live such a leisurely life?" ”
"My queen is amazing, I am a blessed ......"
"Bang Bang Bang"
Zhan Nian felt that his little heart was about to jump out, how could he spontaneously have an incomparable sense of pride?
At this time, after Xiao Ashu finished dancing the sword, he ran to Jinyan sweating profusely to hug him, and Zhan Nian glanced over, "Come here!" ”
"Your mother's strength is used to read books and play, not to hold you!"
Xiao Ashu didn't understand the meaning of this, but when he saw a shallow smile on the corner of his mother's mouth, he also felt that this should be a good word, if she didn't hug it, she would not hug it, anyway, she was about to grow up.
After such a round of tossing, the dishes on the table have long been cold, but the stew pot in the middle is still "gurgling" and steaming with jubilation. The stewed soft dishes were sandwiched on the plate in front of Jin Yan, accompanied by soft nagging.
"No matter how good-looking you are, you can't stay up all night, it's not good for your health for a long time."
"In the future, I will pick you up at Jinhua Palace, and if you don't come out, I will keep waiting."
"Eat normally, sleep on time, this is the only requirement I have for you."
"You can rest assured that you can ...... the rest"
Jin Yanan ate quietly, but replied with the word "um" at the end of each sentence, turning this birthday banquet into a trickling stream, flowing through everyone's hearts, and becoming the tenderness of the years.
******
I thought it was just an ordinary birthday, but I didn't expect that there would be people who remembered such a special day, and sent congratulatory gifts all the way to it.
When Jin Yan got this letter of state, he glanced at Zhan Nian, and unsurprisingly saw a strong doubt in it.
Wu Rou, Wu Rou actually sent an envoy to congratulate her on her birthday?
Not to mention that she has never celebrated her birthday with much fanfare over the years, the sudden appearance of the name "Wurou" alone is enough to make people suspicious.
Urou does not belong to Kyushu, and has been entrenched in the land of Hokuriku for hundreds of years, killing each other with the countries of Kyushu. Its people are fierce and aggressive, and if they can not deal with each other, they will never be contaminated.
Therefore, not to mention that Beiluo and Wurou do not have half a friendship, that is, the entire Kyushu has almost no intersection with Wurou. There have been several melee battles in history, but when the forces of all parties were balanced and no one could help the other, they were at peace with each other for a long time.
Xiang'an does not mean harmony, any country in Kyushu came to congratulate the empress on her birthday so suddenly, it is understandable, but Wurou ......
The weasel greets the chicken, and people can't help but think about it......
Zhan Nian saw Jin Yan's brows tightened, so he took the national letter and threw it aside at will, "Ayan, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, I will know what the intention is." ”
When Jin Yan heard this, he was relieved, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, can I go back and read the notebook with peace of mind?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhan Nianqiang held back the smile that was about to be held back, and urged: "Go back, come back, just remember to come over for dinner at night!" ”
"Okay!"
Jin Yan agreed to rejoice and drove back to Jinhua Palace. Unexpectedly, the situation occurred in a few days, and the Wurou envoy made a big fuss in the Ziji Palace, saying that he had come sincerely to congratulate his birthday, and he had been treated so harshly, and he would definitely see Her Majesty the Empress come out to comment, and if he couldn't get a satisfactory answer, he would definitely not give up!
He also said that Zhan Nian is a queen who is not qualified to receive them as a king of a country.
The king of a country? The people in the main hall all looked at the man who came forward, and they were even more uneasy in their hearts.
The king of a country came in person, and deliberately concealed his identity, what did Wu Rou mean by this?
