The undercurrent between the emperor and queen will not affect the atmosphere of the entire New Year's banquet.

Sensible courtiers will find their own way to adjust the atmosphere so that His Majesty will not be so embarrassed.

Who doesn't want to see the scene of harmony between the monarch and the minister?

So, what about the emperor and queen?

The matter of the heavenly husband and wife, they still don't ask.

Just ask if you are happy for the New Year?

Be happy, then eat and drink.

The location of Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan is a little far away, and they can be seen from afar, but they can't really see it.

At the beginning of the annual banquet, it was naturally His Majesty's toast.

After that, all kinds of musical instruments were moved out.

Some of the things that are used once a year for the festival are also moved out, and the music is either cheerful or atmospheric.

After that, it's time for dance.

On a cold day, it's hard for them, or they, wearing thin clothes, still need to maintain their elegance.

Anyway, Xiao Nianzhi thinks ......

It's not easy on a cold day.

Even though there were many people in the hall, Xiao Nianzhi still felt that it was quite cold.

Eating and drinking, tossing for half the night.

His Majesty was happy, and the courtiers were happy.

Then it's time to disperse.

His Majesty will also focus on the name of this year's outstanding courtiers, and then give them food.

From the New Year's banquet, pick an auspicious dish and give it to you.

This year's Xiao Nianzhi, although her contribution is not large, but because of the previous disaster relief in Linzhou, she has been there, so she also has to give a dish.

The others were also rewarded in turn, and after thanking them one by one, they packed up and went out.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there is no moon, but the sky is full of stars.

Because the weather has been sunny in recent days, the night looks very deep and quiet, revealing a peaceful and pleasant beauty.

It seems to be for the sake of the New Year's flavor, adding another deep color.

Xiao Nianzhi followed the courtiers and walked out.

Yan Xingxuan is now an adult prince, so he can not keep the New Year in the palace and go back to his own house.

Moreover, even if he stayed in the harem, he would go to the palace of the prince.

Yan Xingxuan said that he didn't want to stay over there.

Celebrate the New Year with them, where is it interesting to think about it?

So, go out of the palace and think about it.

Yan Xingxuan didn't come over on purpose, after all, there were quite a lot of people at the gate of the palace, and everyone's carriage went out in turn, so it was not good for him to cut the queue directly, right?

So, just go with the big line.

Then it shook slowly, and when everyone arrived home one after another.

Yan Xingxuan's carriage also followed Xiao Nianweaving to Xiao's mansion.

Everyone is here, and Xiao Nianzhi can't drive people away.

Moreover, if the Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, it is really not interesting to have Yan Xingxuan alone in the mansion.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi smiled and invited him to join him.

Yan Xingxuan's scheming exit from the palace was just to wait for this moment.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Nianzhi said it, he happily responded.

At the New Year's banquet, everyone didn't eat and drink very seriously.

Some of the cold dishes are fine, but the hot dishes are cold, and I can't eat them.

However, Fukami prepared dumplings early in the morning.

All kinds of fillings are mixed with the flavor that everyone likes, and then wrapped.

However, because the appearance is not marked, the filling is random, and what you eat is nothing.

There is definitely nothing that people don't like, so there is no need to be afraid of eating what you don't like.

However, if you encounter it once in a while, you don't like it so much, and you can't help it.

Xiao Nianzhi still prefers pork and cabbage, in fact, conpoy chicken with mushrooms is also good.

But this package is not much.

When serving dumplings, I didn't deliberately pick them.

Two large plates per table, and then everyone sits

Come down and eat again.

Aunt Yu sat at a table by herself, and her grandfather sat at a table by herself.

It's rare that there are no outsiders here, so Xiao Nianzhi sat at the same table with Yan Xingxuan.

The amount of food for two people is not large, and in addition to dumplings, they have other dishes.

The imperial dish given by His Majesty, the braised lion's head, has been reheated in the kitchen at this time.

The four fist-sized lion heads had been divided into three at this time.

Counting, one for each person, but Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan sat at the same table, so two of them were placed on a plate.

The red and shiny lion's head, the white fat and round dumplings, the refreshing cold vegetables, the roasted pork ribs, the elbows that are exhaled, and the carved flowers and birds......

Although they only have three tables, the sense of ceremony is still full.

Everyone happily sat down at the table and opened the jar of wine.

It is Xiao Nianzhi's wine made from pear blossoms in early autumn.

The taste is not bad, but because the number of fermentations is still a matter of time, the degree is not low.

It's okay to take two sips, but if you drink too much, it's easy to get drunk and not wake up.

I have to greet the New Year tomorrow, but I can't drink too much!

Everyone ate and drank, and said a lot of auspicious words to each other.

In the past, he was not particularly satisfied with Yan Xingxuan's grandfather, but he also showed a sincere smile at this time.

He thought: It's great, he can still live to this age, and he can still watch Xiyue's child grow to such a big age, and find happiness that belongs to her.

Not only that, but think about it, I have done a lot of things that are difficult for the girl's family to do.

That's great!

Maybe with the blessing of the West Moon?

Grandpa held a wine glass and couldn't help but think.

took a sip of wine, but didn't dare to drink more, only took a sip on his lips, tasted it, and rounded up an atmosphere.

Aunt Yu doesn't have so many worries, she can get up early tomorrow morning, so she will go to pay New Year's greetings, and if she can't get up, she will sleep lazy.

She is this age, and she is out of the palace, so she cares so much.

Enjoy the freedom!

It's nice to be free!

Aunt Yu gently lifted the wine glass and tasted it slowly.

The mouth is soft and slightly spicy, but silky and mellow.

This wine, wow!

Aunt Yu sighed lightly, then squinted her eyes and looked into the distance.

In fact, it is not necessary to see anything, but when the mind is empty, people always want to stare at something, so it seems more convenient for themselves to empty themselves and enter another world?

Aunt Yu never dared to think that after she left the palace, there would be such a day.

It's a toss, but it's wonderful.

It's not at all what I imagined, just mess around and wait for death.

Now......

That's good.

Even when you are really old, when you look back, you will feel that this life has not been in vain, at least for a few years, there has been a real toss, and there have been exists.

The two middle-aged and elderly people are already sighing.

But young people......

Xiao Nianzhi took a sip of wine lightly, and frowned spicy: "...... Woo!"

Her voice startled Yan Xingxuan, and he hurriedly asked softly, "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious? Isn't it uncomfortable?"

As he spoke, the tea had already been handed to Xiao Nianzhi's mouth.

Yan Xing said that it was convenient: It is convenient to sit together.

If you want to take care of it, you can get started at any time, and you don't need to worry about it like before, but you don't have the feeling of having nowhere to start.

took a sip of tea, slightly diluting the spiciness, Xiao Nianzhi felt it again......

The aroma is long.

It's the kind of fragrance that is very soft.

However, she really couldn't drink it, so she simply waved her hand.

Yan Xingxuan saw that she was uncomfortable, and nodded hurriedly: "Then I won't drink it, and I have prepared fruit tea and milk tea."

Xiao Nianzhi

In the end, I chose fruit tea, which is more refreshing.

It is really a meal during the Chinese New Year, which is too greasy, and fruit tea can better relieve greasy and drink more comfortable.

Yan Xingxuan is still a little curious about this pear blossom brew.

And he still wants to brew it, and he wants to taste it even more.

He doesn't drink a lot, but how could he not?

I can still drink some of it.

Take two sips and feel the aroma of the wine lingering in your mouth......

Hmm, it's a little silky, and it's very comfortable.

Yan Xingxuan did not hesitate to praise himself: "Think about it, this wine is very good, soft and fragrant, and it is silky and smooth in the mouth, which is very comfortable."

They're making this exclusively, so it's good to be able to drink it.

Yan Xingxuan said as he narrowed his eyebrows and looked like he was enjoying it.

It can be seen that he really likes it and is very satisfied.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Nianzhi handed over the half-drunk fruit teacup in his hand, and asked him with a smile, "Do you want to drink fruit tea to slow down?"

The fireworks in the capital burst to the top at this moment.

The sound of thumping thump resounded through the sky.

Xiao Nianzhi's words were drowned in the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, and Yan Xingxuan didn't hear it clearly.

However, he saw Xiao Nianzhi's movements clearly and understood the affection in the little girl's eyes.

Yan Xingxuan thought: This is an invitation, right?

Whether it's or not, he'll just take it as it is.

After thinking about it, he was a little embarrassed, but he still firmly stretched his neck forward, put his lips on the edge of the cup, and tasted it shallowly.

When I took a sip of fruit tea, the fruity aroma slowly spread to my throat and stomach along my lips and teeth, and to my limbs.

It seems to have a fragrance from the depths of the forest, slowly wafting past me, and then leaving a light and long-lasting fragrance, which makes people can't help but have an aftertaste.

Yan Xingxuan felt that his face was a little hot, probably the wine he had drunk just now, and it was a little upset.

However, what remains between the lips and teeth is the aroma of fruit tea.

He pursed his lips lightly and moved a little closer in the direction of Xiao Nianzhi, his voice was low, revealing a little seductive hoarseness: "Think about it, it's delicious."

Hearing him say this, Xiao Nianzhi slowly withdrew the water glass, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and his voice was a little proud: "Of course, I did it."

Yan Xingxuan actually didn't hear it too clearly, but he understood his sweetheart's pride: "Well, we think it's the most powerful."

These words were said in the interval between the fireworks, and Xiao Nianzhi vaguely heard it clearly.

The tips of the ears, which were originally only slightly warm, seem to be slowly dyed with a hint of heat.

Xiao Nianzhi thought: It doesn't feel bad, and even faintly looks forward to it.

The two of them didn't go too far, they only quietly exchanged water cups and secretly drank the water in each other's cups.

When the banquet dispersed, the fireworks outside the city were still being set off.

Because it was not yet time, my grandfather was not in a hurry to rest, he was too lazy to go out and toss, so he simply sat by the stove and roasted the fire.

Aunt Yu went out to watch for a while, thought it was too noisy, and came back.

Then two people gathered around the stove and roasted chestnuts to eat.

The servants either watched the fireworks, or made a fire in the house, or set off some small fireworks not far away.

Everywhere is full of the joy of the year, auspicious meaning.

Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan had dinner, so they held hands and came out to watch the fireworks.

They stood under the eaves, looking into the distance, holding each other's hands, but they all subconsciously clenched a little.

When a large number of fireworks bloomed in the starry sky again, Yan Xingxuan suddenly turned sideways, pressed against Xiao Nianzhi's ear, and asked softly, "Think about it, do you want to ...... Do you want to taste the taste of pear blossom stuff?"

Xiao Nianzhi listened to the voice and subconsciously turned his head sideways.

She didn't understand what Yan Xingxuan meant at first, and when she met the other party's affectionate gaze, she faintly understood the deep meaning of the other party's words.

Xiao Nian

Weaving opened his mouth, a good word just rolled on the tip of his tongue, and before he could say it, Yan Xingxuan had already leaned over.

The silkiness of the pear blossom brew, Xiao Nianzhi didn't have time to feel it.

However, the fragrance of pear blossom brewing, Xiao Nianzhi really felt it at this time.

And Yan Xingxuan also tasted the tail fragrance of fruit tea as he wished, which is the sweetness of the fruit and the sweetness of the tea.

The two sweetness stacked together, making him clench the hand in his palm harder.

Not far away, fireworks burst into a grand and enthusiastic manner.

Nearby, the two hugged each other, their fingers clasped.

What they held was the prosperity of the Heqing Sea Banquet, and it was also the rest of their peaceful and smooth lives.

It's expectation, but it's also wishing.

It's peace of mind, and it's also happiness.
