Cheng Shuiyao's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Xiao Ji who was close at hand in disbelief, and she even forgot to breathe for a while.

"Scaring you?" Xiao Ji looked at Cheng Shuiyao's expression, hurriedly withdrew, and spoke a little unnaturally.

He thought that he could still concentrate on it, but he didn't expect to be able to make such thoughtless movements.

"Nothing." Cheng Shuiyao took the initiative to ignore the warmth on her face, coughed lightly, and sat up straight.

Fortunately, the palace is not far from the Xiao Mansion, and it didn't take long to arrive.

Cheng Shuiyao got out of the carriage with Xiao Ji's support and stepped into the mansion.

The whole mansion is filled with the joy of the New Year, and the red chips and red lanterns flutter in all corners, looking indescribably festive.

"Such an arrangement is really very New Year's flavor," Cheng Shuiyao sighed, with a little more expectation in her eyes.

This is her first year here, and she still looks forward to it.

"It's really lively at night," Xiao Ji shook his head slightly, "We'll go out when it's dark, and it's already very lively at that time." ”

"Then I have to take a good look," Cheng Shuiyao smiled slightly, and took Xiao Ji's hand into the house.

"This is what the master ordered," a not-so-familiar maid came in with a bowl of steaming white fungus porridge and respectfully placed it in front of Cheng Shuiyao.

"What is this?" Cheng Shuiyao looked at the porridge and looked at Xiao Ji with a puzzled expression.

"That place in the palace is not suitable for eating at all, and you shouldn't be full, so I asked them to prepare some porridge for you, so that you can cushion your stomach a little," Xiao Ji picked up the porridge, blew it slightly, and handed it to Cheng Shuiyao's mouth.

"It's not that I don't have long hands," Cheng Shuiyao glanced at the maid beside her with some embarrassment, but didn't dare to open her mouth.

"The slave and maid stand down first," the maid was very discerning, turned away directly, and closed the door considerately.

"It's okay now, right?" Xiao Ji glanced at the door and turned his head to look at Cheng Shuiyao.

Cheng Shuiyao smiled and opened his mouth to drink.

This porridge is deliberately sugarless, but the sweetness is just right, and it will not be sweet.

Cheng Shuiyao narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, looked at Xiao Ji and spoke, "Is there any arrangement for tomorrow?" ”

"Not tomorrow," Xiao Ji waved his hand.

According to the rules, they should go to the heaven worship ceremony on the third day of the new year, and there is nothing to do before that.

"Okay," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, not knowing what came to mind, and smiled slightly.

Xiao Ji knew that she was making a small idea again, so she didn't care about her, and didn't stop until she finished feeding a bowl of porridge.

"What did you prepare for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Cheng Shuiyao shook her little head, and a large table of delicious food appeared in her head.

"I don't know," Xiao Ji waved his hand honestly.

He has never been proficient in cooking, and this kind of thing is usually left to the cook, and he will not ask about it at all.

"Then I'll take a look!" Cheng Shuiyao said that he would do it, and before the words fell, the person had already walked to the door.

"I'll go with you." Seeing this, Xiao Ji hurriedly got up and pulled Cheng Shuiyao forward.

According to Cheng Shuiyao's nature, she will definitely cook tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner by herself, but in this way, she can't stop tonight.

Although Xiao Ji wanted to eat the dishes she cooked, she didn't want to make her tired.

Cheng Shuiyao saw that Xiao Ji was following him step by step, and he could probably guess what he was thinking, and he was a little helpless, but he had to give up his original idea.

Night is gradually falling, the whole capital is brightly lit, swaying red silk flutters in all corners, and the sound of firecrackers sounds from time to time.

Cheng Shuiyao's family sat around the table and were about to start eating.

"Before eating, I'll inform you two of one thing," Xiao Zhenheng coughed twice, and said seriously, "I'm going to go out with your mother these days, you have to take care of this side." ”

"Is there something going on here?" Cheng Shuiyao didn't think much about it, she just thought that something would happen.

"To put it simply, they want to go out to live in a two-person world," Xiao Ji didn't give one more look, and said slowly.

Since he became an adult, these two people have come to this show from time to time, and he has become accustomed to it.

This......

Cheng Shuiyao suddenly felt that her words were asking a lot of questions, and her face was a little embarrassed.

"Just you kid has a lot of mouth!" Xiao Zhenheng coughed and glared at Xiao Ji.

"Go and fulfill a wish before," Xie Yin said slowly, not as disgusted with Xiao Zhenheng as before.

"Well," Cheng Shuiyao knew that this matter was not easy to ask about, so she nodded hurriedly and began to beckon everyone to eat.

"You can't do all this, do you?" Xie Yin frowned and glanced at the dishes on the table, seeing that these were dishes that he had not seen before, he said with some concern, "You have made so many by yourself?" ”

"No, no," Cheng Shuiyao hurriedly waved his hand and stretched out his finger to point at Xiao Ji, "He didn't let me cook, I just stood next to me and said a few words." ”

"That's pretty much it," Xie Yin nodded, and began to eat.

After eating, everyone did not stay in the house as usual.

Xie Yin and Xiao Zhenheng went out after eating, and they didn't know where they went.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't prepare, went back to the house, changed her clothes, and walked quickly to the door.

Because today was Chinese New Year's Eve, she didn't wear those plain white clothes, and chose some festive red clothes.

"It looks good today." Xiao Ji reached out to catch Cheng Shuiyao, glanced at the clothes on her body, and her eyes were full of smiles.

"Let's go," Cheng Shuiyao smiled happily and pulled Xiao Ji out of here.

Because they wanted to walk along the road, the two of them did not take the carriage.

There were a lot of gadgets around, Cheng Shuiyao stopped and stopped, and it didn't take long for him to hold a lot of things in his arms.

"Are you tired of hugging?" Xiao Ji glanced at the things in Cheng Shuiyao's arms, and handed them over to the subordinates behind him with some helplessness.

"Hey, hey." Cheng Shuiyao stuck out her tongue and reached out to grab Xiao Ji.

It's not particularly cold tonight, Cheng Shuiyao walked for a while, and the tip of her nose was a little sweaty.

"Let's go and sit in front for a while," Xiao Ji didn't miss these small details, and took her to the wooden bridge in front of her to sit for a while.

Under the bridge, a delicate painting boat slowly approached, and some laughter could be faintly heard.

"This is ......" Cheng Shuiyao glanced at it with some envy and hesitated to speak.

She had only seen this kind of thing on murals before, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was more or less shocked in her heart.

"Looking at this way, it should be something from the Han family," Xiao Ji glanced at the painting boat and glanced at Cheng Shuiyao with a smile, "It just so happens that I have some friendship with the Han family, if you want to go up and have a look, I will take you over." ”

"Yes, yes!" Cheng Shuiyao didn't shirk anything at all, and stood up directly excitedly.

Xiao Ji held Cheng Shuiyao's hand, gently picked her up, and then jumped onto the painting boat.
