When Emperor Li came to Qingfeng Pavilion in the evening, although he was just having dinner with Concubine Xian, Si Qing was guarding the door, looking at the vague figure reflected on the window paper, and then looked at the closed door, but he was full of worry. Under the porch of the door, there were a bunch of palace people waiting, and even Li Nan stood calmly by the door, half-squinting as if he was taking a nap.

I don't know when it started, everyone is used to the fact that as long as Emperor Li comes to Qingfeng Pavilion, whether it is drinking tea, chatting and eating, he is only alone with Concubine Xian, and everyone thinks that this is because His Majesty likes Concubine Xian and likes to talk to her about himself, so he doesn't want anyone to disturb him. However, Si Qing clearly understood in his heart that it was just the emperor's reminder or pressure on Wei Nanyan again and again, asking her to understand her situation, asking her to obey her own arrangements, and asking her to willingly imprison herself in this golden cage.

The Heavenly Family is noble, the Heavenly Family is ruthless, and the Heavenly Family is shameless -- almost everyone knows about the prince's government, even if His Majesty the Emperor himself does not admit it, then what can it be? Sooner or later, everyone in the world will know...... Si Qing muttered in his heart, looking at the cold night sky, there seemed to be a faint dark blue in the darkness, thick and oppressive, most of the stars were not visible, only a few larger and brighter ones flashed slightly in the thick clouds and night. This year's winter is still very cold, but the strange thing is that there is very little wind, and there has never been a snow, which is almost unprecedented in the history of the Li Dynasty, Si Tiantai is silent, and no one in the palace dares to mention the words of "Ruixue Zhaofeng Year", all the palaces are cautious, and even the atmosphere does not dare to take a breath, everyone seems to have forgotten that the New Year is coming, and they should start to dust the New Year, cut window flowers, and dress up the New Year with lights at this moment of the year. Since the news of the prince's disappearance spread, the queen has been extremely worried, and she has no intention of arranging various palace affairs for the next year. It seems that even Emperor Li himself has forgotten this stubble, and the most important annual gift list of the year has been shelved in the Zichen Hall since it was sent by the Ministry of Rites, pressed under a dozen thick chapters, and no one cares about it, and no one dares to ask about it.

At this moment, in the distant Caiyun City, it has never been more lively, and the built Nanguo Mansion and the city tower are full of lights, and the lights are brilliant all night. According to Wang Xiang's words, Zhao Sheng didn't know what kind of grudge he had with the lanterns in the city, and he insisted on exhausting those lamp households to death, pulling out a cart of lanterns every day, and hanging them all over every corridor and every door of the Nanguo Mansion, and from the inside to the outside of the city wall, two big red lanterns must be hung on every battlement, and they must be windproof and exquisite. This day is the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, Zhao Sheng felt that all the arrangements were ready, so he asked Yao Jin to go to the city tower to see the New Year's arrangement, it was dusk, and the city tower became a red building from a distance, a red light illuminated the outline of the entire city wall, and it was even more thrilling under the spectacular, Yao Jin didn't see it clearly all of a sudden, almost thought it was a fire, and when he saw it, he was not only stunned, but also stunned, Lala Lin Yuebai's hand said: "Sure enough, no matter how gorgeous the neon lights, it is not as good-looking as this." ”

"Lord Zhao is busy for this New Year, and he really put a lot of thought into it. His Royal Highness only saw the brilliant lights in this city now, but he didn't know that there was also the big banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, from the dishes to the songs and dances and even the incense burned, all of which Lord Zhao personally asked and carefully arranged. With such intentions, Your Highness, you should praise him well. Lin Yuebai tightened the strap of her cloak while looking at the hat of Yao Jin's cloak, and saw that she was wearing it well, and the white fox fur that came out of the circle was very warm, so she smiled softly at Jin Liancheng behind her: "Liancheng, did you say?"

Jin Liancheng had just come back from the dense forest for a day, and although he was tired all the way, seeing Lin Yuebai's red eyes that he was looking forward to, it was worth everything. Yao Jin didn't ask him if he was still from the Jungle Country, and he didn't mention it, but only said that the affairs of going north to trade had been arranged, and let Yao Jin just let the people below do what he had originally agreed. Although he was dragged here by Lin Yuebai today, seeing that the two of them were happy, he still nodded: "Lord Zhao is attentive." ”

"This is the first year of our Xiaonanguo, although Zhao Sheng's guy is a bit exaggerated, but- there should be a good omen. Yao Jin's hand was on the battlement, looking at the sunset that was gradually fading in the distance, although the wind was cold on her face, but the winter in Caiyun City was the coldest and the same, her hand slowly caressed the rough and hard masonry, and every trace of touch was extremely clear. This reminded her of the late night of Chinese New Year's Eve in the Lingjing Imperial Palace, on the high walls of the capital city of the Li Dynasty, she shivered in the thin clothes of the palace maid, and the bone-eroding cold wind pierced through her every pore, almost making people lose their ability to react, she held the battlement stiffly on all fours, ignorant and helpless to hand over her fate to that person, the person who finally disappointed her again and again-

"Okay, everything is fine!" Yao Jin shook his head slightly, came back to his senses from his memory, and turned his face to find that Jin Liancheng was holding Lin Yuebai's hand, and the two had already walked to the other end a little farther away, Jin Liancheng pointed to the unknown starry sky and whispered something, Lin Yuebai laughed, the red lantern reflected her side face crimson, and the look in her eyes was like starlight, brilliant. Yao Jin also smiled, she looked at Caiyun City behind her, the brightest Nanguo Mansion in the city, that was her home, although she hadn't entered it once, but she knew that this belonged to her, and it was her peaceful place rooted in the land that belonged to her. From the moment she recognized Emperor Li as Shu Dingshan in the palace of the Li Dynasty, all the way to persistence, all the way to madness, all the way to persistence, all the way to persistence, she knew that she had lost a lot, the past was like an old house under a big tree, the wall shadow was mottled, there was no whole, not a single brick and stone had not shed the crimson surface, everything was uneven, everything was not calm, but what did it matter-at least there was tomorrow! As long as she and her land were still there, at least there would be tomorrow! Yao Jin smiled more and more, reaching out to touch the unreachable night sky, the starlight dotted between her fingers, as if she could hold the starry sky with a wave of her hand, and she could hold her infinite unknown future.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the things needed in the other courtyard had already been moved into the Nanguo Mansion, except for Zhao Yu who was still doing the final patrol inspection in the city, Zhao Sheng and Wang Xiang had already made arrangements in the mansion in the afternoon. Most of the county guards of the thirteen counties also arrived early, because the Chinese New Year's Eve feast had not yet begun, and the lord had not yet arrived, so everyone followed the rules and waited in the outer hall to drink tea and talk. These thirteen county guards were naturally not qualified to participate in the New Year's banquet in the capital of the Li Dynasty in the past, but now there is a small southern country, and everyone's identity is different, not only the house receives a gift from the lord, but also can bring his wife to participate in the banquet together, everyone is in a good mood, and they are laughing and laughing for a while, but it is also very lively. And Yao Jin, who was supposed to be the first to arrive, was still pressed in the courtyard to dress and change clothes, Lin Yuebai personally supervised by the side, and the dumb maids who were waiting all smiled, looking at His Royal Highness, who has always pursued the lighter and better the dress, did not fold today, and only changed the double sword bun full of pearls and emerald to a flower crown under repeated requests. Although it is said that it is only a hollow gold flower crown, it is also a whole body carved entwined branch flowers, the pattern is complex, exquisite, and the middle is inlaid with jade sapphires, tourmalines, pearls and other colored gemstones.
