"In short, you promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you must be good for the sake of the child." Zixi's tone was light, but it was irrefutable, "Don't do stupid things." ”

Chu Chen pursed his lips.

He didn't want to say anything like that.

But Zixi obviously didn't give him a chance to refute, got up and walked to the bed, "Go to sleep." ”

Chu Chen turned around and quietly watched her back, trying to suppress the uneasiness that was surging in his heart again, and did not speak again.

The next morning, when Zixi and Chu Chen got up, changed their clothes and washed properly, and walked out, they saw Nan Mohao, who was dressed in black, standing outside the dormitory and waiting.

The figure is as steep as a mountain, with a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored.

Seeing Zixi come out, he bowed respectfully.

I can't see the emotion in my indifferent eyebrows, and I don't know how long I slept last night, or I didn't sleep at all.

Zixi bowed his head, and the three of them moved to the front hall.

In addition to the imperial dining room, Yonghua Palace also has an independent small kitchen, occasionally when the emperor is hungry or dealing with the busy government affairs, he doesn't want to trouble the imperial dining room with great fanfare, so he orders the small kitchen to make some simple food.

Today's dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year are prepared in the kitchen.

When Zixi and Chu Chen got up to change their clothes, Qiu Yan instructed the kitchen to start preparing, and just when they packed up and went to the front hall, the hot dumplings came out of the pot.

The timing is just right.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is a reunion and festive festival, and when Zixi sat down at the dining table, he greeted Qiu Yan and Qingdai by the way, as well as the palace maid of Yonghua Palace: "Don't be formal." Qiu Yan, set up two more tables in the side hall, and eat dumplings today. ”

Qiu Yan received the order, and the palace maids thanked them all.

"Are the other palace people's breakfast ready?" Zixi asked, "Did you order the imperial dining room to prepare?" ”

Qiu Yan said: "It's all ready." The imperial dining room made a lot of dumplings overnight last night, and there were all kinds of fillings, which were enough to eat, Your Majesty was relieved. ”

Zixi nodded and didn't say anything more.

There were several plates of dumplings on the dining table, with all kinds of fillings, Zixi used chopsticks to clip a few dumplings for Chu Chen, and a few for Nan Mohao; "Let go of eating, don't be restrained."

After the words fell, I also sandwiched two of them and put them on a small plate in front of me.

"Happy New Year." Zixi said, "After eating dumplings, do you want to go out of the palace for a visit?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "I don't want to." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household gathers around the hot kang and eats hot dumplings, and there is nothing lively to see in the cold and deserted imperial city.

And even if there were, they were all hilarious kids.

The most lively was last night, but last night they were all keeping watch in the palace, and the bright fireworks in the night sky bloomed for most of the night.

Tranquility has now returned.

Nan Mohao also shook his head silently.

He has never been an idle person, and Zixi is pregnant now, so it is more reassuring to stay in the palace.

On the first day of the new year, Chu Chen and Nan Mohao did not deal with the government affairs, and accompanied Zixi to rest in Yonghua Palace for a day.

Play chess, read books, talk.

Zixi flipped through the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci", thinking about what name to give the child, and the day passed unconsciously.

In the dormitory at night, Zixi said lightly: "Uncle Huang, tomorrow you send someone to the top of the Nine Pavilions, and invite the Lord of the Nine Pavilions to enter the palace, I have something to ask him." ”

Nan Mohao was silent for a moment: "The minister will go in person?" ”

"No, you don't." Zixi shook his head, "Just send the hidden guard over at will, he will come over when he hears it." ”
