Chapter 336: The New Year of Dashuang
Just on Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Qingyan took this opportunity to arrange a state banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Originally, the royal relatives and nobles who spent the New Year together, but neither Liu Qingyan nor Lu Siguan had too many relatives, so Liu Qingyan allowed any official of the court and China to bring their relatives to the palace for the New Year. She also invited the children who had taken care of the library for her, but in other halls.
And Chunsheng can't get out of bed because of his mother, and he doesn't want to do this. This made Liu Qingyan a little disappointed, but she still sent someone to send them some things to eat for the New Year.
In the imperial palace, at the beginning of the state banquet, the chefs of almost all the capitals were hired to cook food for the ministers of civil and military affairs.
All the tables filled the two halls, and it was very lively.
Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan are in the largest hall, and on the first seat, in addition to Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan, there are two of them sitting at this table, which are Lu Yujian, Wang Zhao, Ghost Sorrow and Little Partridge. Dashuang is thin-skinned, and he refuses to serve at the table together in front of so many people, so he just stands on the side.
The banquet was very lively, Lu Yujian was happy, drank a few more pots of wine, and was already drunk, Wang Zhao sat next to him, and he climbed his shoulders and said some crazy things. Wang Zhao listened to him with a smile, nodded occasionally, and occasionally responded with a few words, and there was nothing special about it, let alone rejecting him.
The ghost was sad and drank wine, looking at the scene in front of him, and his heart was very stable. He hadn't been so settled in a long time.
And these stability were brought to him by the emperor and queen in front of him.
But for Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan, two people who are in love don't like too lively banquets. The banquet was only halfway through, and Liu Qingyan quietly leaned into Lu Siguan's ear and asked, "Emperor, do you remember what we did on Chinese New Year's Eve in the first year of our marriage?" β
"Naturally, I remember." Lu Siguan, who had no expression all the time, finally had a smile.
"I miss the food you made for me back then." Liu Qingyan's eyes were full of emotion, and she said in her heart, although those are not very delicious, but I miss them very much.
Lu Siguan smiled and clenched her palm: "We can still go today." Isn't there a small kitchen on the side of the study? There's no one there, and the two of us can go over now. β
Liu Qingyan looked at him with wide eyes and nodded.
So, the emperor and the empress stood up hand in hand, and groped outside together, everyone was immersed in the joy of the state banquet, and few people noticed that the two of them were missing.
Dashuang was about to follow, but Liu Qingyan winked vigorously at her: "Don't come, the emperor is good at martial arts, and I am very safe with the emperor." If you come, the two of us will have a bad year. Go and live your own year. β
Hearing this, Dashuang stood in place, and she looked at the backs of the two people over there in her quibble, and then looked at Dashuang.
Dashuang waited until there were no more of those two figures in his sight, then he squatted down, rubbed the back of the rolling ball, and said with a smile: "Actually, the queen doesn't know, I don't have any years to live." My sister...... I'm already dead, and the only thing I rely on is the queen. β
Rolling Ball didn't speak, just stuck out her tongue and licked her palm.
Dashuang smiled: "But it doesn't matter, there are still a few ghosts over there, I can celebrate the New Year with them......"
Before he finished speaking, Dashuang saw a child who was only seven or eight years old squatting down in front of him: "This sister, can you touch this kitten?" β
The child's voice was sweet and glutinous, and he looked very cute, and when he heard this, Dashuang couldn't help laughing: "This is not a cat, it's a leopard." β
"Ah...... Leopard," the child looked at her with wide eyes, "my brother told me that leopards are scary, and that they should not be touched. Is this leopard scary too? β
"His name is Bowl, it's not scary, he's docile." Dashuang laughed as he took his hand and stroked the back of the ball. Seeing the happy smile on the child's face, Dashuang's heart was also warm and soft.
Perhaps, such a New Year can be regarded as a happy part of her this year, right?
At this time, another warm voice sounded on the side: "Changsheng, do you know this sister?" β
The child named Changsheng and Dashuang raised their eyes together, and Dashuang saw the handsome man standing in front of him and leaned down slightly, but did not speak, and Changsheng said, "Brother, I don't know my sister yet." But my sister is very nice. β
The man was dressed in a vermilion robe and had a jade bone fan in his hand. He looked at Dashuang and smiled: "This girl, in Xia Du Changkang, was last year's Wen Zhuangyuan, and she is now on an errand under the Zhongshu Gate." This younger brother under is immortal. If you are offended, please forgive me. Changsheng is still very young. β
"It's okay," Dashuang also smiled and stood up, "Changsheng is very well-behaved, not troublesome, let alone offended." β
Du Changkang stared at her for a moment, Dashuang felt weird, and silently turned his face away: "Du Gongzi." β
Du Changkang reacted at this time, frowned slightly, took a step back, and lowered his eyes: "It's offended, but the girl's appearance is quite similar to an old person in my memory, so I stared at it for a while." β
After a moment of silence, Du Changkang asked again: "I wonder if the girl has a family to celebrate the New Year together?" β
Dashuang's expression dimmed a little: "No, I was an orphan and has no family." β
"I'm sorry," Du Changkang hurriedly apologized, and then asked, "However, I don't have any family members here, only such a younger brother." If you don't dislike it, the girl can go over and have a drink with her. When I saw the girl, I was very happy. β
Dashuang's eyes lit up, but he was embarrassed to nod his head and say yes when he thought of his identity.
Du Changsheng, who was squatting on the ground and touched the ball, stood up and pulled the hem of Dashuang's clothes coquettishly: "Sister, sister, you can go with us, my brother and I are sitting at the same table, and there are many other strange sisters who came to talk to my brother just now, I refuse to let them speak, and those strange sisters will murder me." β
Du Changkang shook a jade bone fan in his hand, and Du Changsheng continued to grind his big pairs: "Those sisters are not good, I only like you, sister." Sister, let's go over and eat something delicious. β
Finally, it was not the coquettishness of the cute child, and the big pair finally nodded: "Okay, let's go." β
Du Changsheng smiled happily: "Then can you bring the ball with you?" I love pΓ©tanque so much! β
"Yes." Dashuang smiled and nodded.
She and Du Changkang walked side by side, and it was not a long distance from the place where the few people were just now to the table where they were going to have dinner together, but Dashuang felt that it was the longest road she had walked in her life.
She felt that Du Changkang beside her was watched by many women, and she was also watched by many women. But most of the people who looked at Du Changkang were because of envy, and they were all jealous of her.
"By the way," Du Changkang suddenly spoke, interrupting Dashuang's thoughts, "I haven't asked yet, what is the girl's name?" β
"I am a maidservant in the palace, my name is Dashuang, and I have no surname." Dashuang replied succinctly and with his eyes down.
If it was in the past, Dashuang was also the daughter of a big family, and she also had a nice surname, and if she grew up like that, she would also become one of those girls who dressed up beautifully. But the luck is uneven, the fate is ill-fated, and the fate of Dashuang is like this, she has no choice.
Du Changkang smiled: "It turned out to be a big double girl." I've heard of you before. β
Dashuang was stunned, looked at Du Changkang, and found that Du Changkang had been staring at her all the time, and at such a glance, the eyes of the two people looked at each other. Dashuang hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
"You're the one next to the Queen." Du Changkang said with a smile.
"Yes." Dashuang responded, still a little embarrassed.
"When I heard about you in the past, I always thought that you were a very capable girl, completely different from others," Du Changkang smiled, "When I saw you today, it was really so." β
Dashuang was a little strange: "Am I a capable girl?" Even she didn't think of herself that way.
The two men had already walked to the table and sat down together. Du Changkang looked at her with a smile: "Yes, and that's what I think, maybe you don't think so, girl, but I admire you." β
As he spoke, Du Changkang poured her a glass of wine, handed it over, and said, "And, Miss Dashuang, do you remember the past?" When you were still in the south, your family name was Su, and you were a scholarly family. There's a dirty kid who always likes to lie on your wall and watch you play. β
Dashuang's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Du Changkang in front of him.
The handsome and clean face in front of him, between his talking and laughing, actually merged with the little beggar who was always dirty on the wall.
Dashuang muttered, "You...... You're ......"
"Yes, I am," Du Changkang looked at her with a smile, "I was taken away before the flood, so I haven't seen you since." Later, I went back to look for it, but I couldn't find it. They all said that the Su family was dead, and I didn't believe it. β
Dashuang was speechless, how could the reunion of the broken mirror happen to her?
Du Changkang looked at her: "Miss Su, I've been looking for you for a long time. β
After a pause, he put one hand on his cheek and looked at her: "Now I can protect you, do you want to think about it, run away from the queen mother, and come to my house?" β
The moment she looked at him, Dashuang remembered what Liu Qingyan had said to her before.
Liu Qingyan said: "Many times, some things will happen to you inadvertently. Love, fate, will meet you unexpectedly in an instant. β
