Chapter 127:

After the winter solstice, Tao Ti, the Xu family brothers and sisters, and the Qinghe brothers and sisters set off for Lishan Hot Spring.

In the winter, Lishan is covered in silver and white, and it is exceptionally majestic and majestic.

The few people in the villa were enjoying hot springs and hot pot. They had a lot of fun.

Just seeing Qinghe and Xu Guangji’s affectionate love, you and me; Xie Xiaogongye showed his favor to Xu Wenchan in every way, and Tao Ti still felt a little disappointed when talking to Xu Guangji——

He said it was okay, but in fact he was still wronged Bala, sour into a lemon essence.

She really wants Pei Yan to accompany her too!

Fortunately, this hot spring trip was only three days, and after three days, the group returned to the palace.

That night, Tao Ti entangled Pei Yan and told her about the lovesickness he had been in for three days. Then Pei Yan counterattacked under him, and "loved" him well most of the night.

When she woke up at noon the next day, she held her sore waist and looked at the hickeys all over her white and tender skin——

She doesn't miss him at all now! Beasts!

...

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Zhaokang and the various ministries of the court began to "seal" in preparation for the New Year.

Lanterns and festoons were displayed everywhere in the palace, new red lanterns and peach charms were hung up, and the palace ladies and eunuchs also put on new festive clothes, busy preparing for the New Year.

In the blink of an eye, on New Year's Eve, in accordance with the old rules, the emperor would invite hundreds of officials and officials into the palace and share the court banquet. As the prince, Pei Yan was naturally there on this occasion.

The banquet lasted from noon to the unity time, but there was a more lively family banquet in the Tai Chi Hall at night.

Pei Yan first went back to the East Palace to change a robe, and then went to the Yaoguang Hall to meet Tao Ti for a banquet.

Since today is New Year’s Eve, Tao Ti put on a new tufted hibiscus embroidered tight-fitting sleeved jacket, under a red gold thread embroidered hibiscus all over the brocade dress, the bun is high, and two golden begonia palace flowers are pinned on. There is also a set of ruby ​​head noodles.

Hibiscus noodles, distant mountain eyebrows, and vermilion lips are a bit plump as cherries.

Such bright and cheerful dress made the palace people of Yaoguang Hall look straight.

"The prince's dress is so beautiful! It's like a fairy descending from the earth."

"Who said no. Didn't you find that the princess seems to be getting more and more beautiful? I think she is much more beautiful than she was just married to the East Palace."

"This is born from the heart. After our princess marries the prince, the husband and wife are affectionate, and they will definitely become more and more beautiful!"

"This is reasonable. After I go out of the palace, I will choose a man to marry again."

The little palace ladies were chatting, until Fu Xirui coughed, they came back to their senses, and hurriedly saluted the prince who did not know when.

Pei Yan said with a faint expression of "exemption", and ignored them, strode into the hall.

The little palace ladies patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Xirui hugged Fuchen and glanced at them diagonally, "You are lucky. Fortunately, you are praised by the princess. If you dare to speak ill of the princess behind your back, you may not get through this year."

The little palace lady hurriedly said, "The prince is so good, we don't have enough praise, how dare to criticize her."

Seeing them all sincerely, Fu Xirui waved the dust, "It's all right, don't be pestered, let's go busy separately."

The little palace ladies smiled playfully, and scrambled around.

In the hall.

Looking at the bright and beautiful Tao Ti in front of the vanity mirror, Pei Yan's eyes also flashed an astonishing color.

He walked forward slowly, and whispered, "Ati."

"His Royal Highness, you are here." Tao Ti stood up and smiled at him, "My side is also packed, we can set off."

Pei Yan stood still in front of her, lowered his eyes, and saw the pigeon blood ruby ​​pendant on her forehead, which was small, glowing with radiant light.

"It's very beautiful." He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and brushed it, the red light burst out with a charming and fine light.

Seeing her dressed like this, he only had one thought in his mind: his little princess is so beautiful, he wants to give her the best jewels in the world, so that she will always be so dazzling and beautiful.

Under his fiery gaze, Tao Ti's cheeks were hot, and his little hand gently pushed his chest down, and whispered, "There is still someone there."

The exquisite eyes on the side, nose, nose, heart: No, I'm not here, when I am an air.

Pei Yan chuckled slightly, suppressed the urge to reach out to rub her head, and held her hand, "It's getting late, we should go to Tai Chi Hall."

Tao Ti answered, holding his hand affectionately, and got on the sedan chair together.

At the same time, the two arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.

A Zhilan Yushu, a flowery face and a moonlike appearance, as soon as it entered the hall, it attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Tao Ti was a little nervous inexplicably, but fortunately, Pei Yan held her hand firmly, and she walked this way with her chest raised and her head raised.

After being seated, Qinghe blinked at Tao Ti, and quietly gave a thumbs up: It looks good! Perfect match!

Tao Ti pursed her lips and smiled.

Not long after, Emperor Zhaokang and Empress Zhou also entered the venue together.

Today, Queen Zhou wore a red embroidered nine-phoenix Chaoyang brocade robe, with a towering hair bun, and an extremely gorgeous phoenix crown, with exquisite makeup. Sitting on a phoenix chair, she is truly a national beauty, with a compelling momentum.

I don't know if it is Tao Ti's illusion or what, she feels that the state of Queen Zhou is a bit inexplicably exciting today? It's not as melancholy and haggard as some time ago.

Maybe it's the New Year, she has to pretend to be happy, right? Can't be disappointed with a face.

Tao Ti didn't think much about it. After a glance, he found that the place opposite Pei Changzhou was empty.

She huddled up with Pei Yan and asked casually, "Why didn't the third prince come?"

Pei Yan raised his eyelids slightly, and said lightly, "He was sick with the cold the day before and was unwell. He is recuperating at the house. He has already taken leave from his father before."

Tao Ti said "Oh", and then sternly reminded Pei Yan, "The weather has been really cold recently. Your Majesty, please take care of your body and wear more clothes to avoid freezing."

Pei Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said warmly, "Well, I will."

Tao Ti then sat up straight, focusing on the food at the palace banquet.

The chicken, duck and fish meat for the Chinese New Year is naturally indispensable. On Tao Ti’s table, there are glutinous rice duck, Ornithogalum stew, bird’s nest chicken shreds, chicken fire-smoked stuffing and pan-fried dough. The desserts include jade dew cream, square crispy stuffing, big and small pastry. There was a table full of pastry, dried fruits and fresh fruits of various colors.

Tao Ti loves the soft sticky dough. After a while, the small plate in front of her is half empty.

When she wanted to eat more, Pei Yan stopped her, “Don’t eat any more. If you eat too much, you won’t be able to overcome it, so be careful that you can’t fall asleep due to bloating at night.”

His vice-parent's tone of gluttonous children coexists with seriousness and gentleness.

Tao Ti angrily retracted the little hand that stretched out towards the sticky ball, and gave an obedient "Oh".

Pei Yan poured her a glass of winter wine, "Come on, have some wine."

Tao Ti took it.

Then, Pei Yan poured her one cup after another——

Tao Ti, "???"

She felt that he was getting her drunk and had sufficient evidence.

She was holding a wine glass, her cheeks were a little red, and the alcohol was a little bit on her head, and a pair of jet-black eyes stared at him brightly, "Are you... are you... are you going to get me drunk?"

Pei Yan raised the corner of his mouth, and only asked, "This wine is not good?"

Tao Ti smacked her mouth, and to be honest, "It's delicious."

Seeing her slightly drunk and charming appearance, Pei Yan's peachy eyes curled up with a warm and charming smile, "I also think it tastes good, so I want you to drink more, so I don't mean to get you drunk."

Is that right? Tao Ti was startled.

Pei Yan leaned close to her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Besides, if I really want to do something to you, I don't have to wait to get you drunk."

He stroked Tao Ti's cheek with the scent of wine, her heartbeat quickened.

His words seem to make sense?

She opened her eyes, "Then can I drink more?"

In the past, Pei Yan didn't let her drink too much alcohol, worried that she would have a headache when she woke up the next day.

This time, he raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, "Drink it, the Chinese New Year, let you have a good drink."

Tao Ti became happy all of a sudden, and drank the clear wine.

Not long after, she was unexpectedly drunk.

Holding his dizzy head, he looked at Pei Yan pitifully, "His Royal Highness... Husband, I'm dizzy and sleepy..."

With this call, Pei Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down.

He suppressed the untimely charming thoughts, supported her soft body, and whispered in a low voice, "Ahti, I will let Linglong send you back to rest first."

Tao Ti frowned, "But I haven't watched the fireworks yet."

She heard Linglong say that fireworks will be set off on the night of the New Year's Eve palace banquet, when the fire trees and silver flowers will compete to shine, especially grand and bright.

Seeing that she was so drunk, Pei Yan was still worried about the fireworks. He couldn't laugh or cry, and coaxed, "You go back and rest first, you can see it as you arrive at Yaoguang Hall."

Tao Ti nodded, "All right then."

Pei Yan got up and respectfully told Emperor Zhaokang, "Father, the prince is too strong to drink, I am afraid that I can't keep the years old, so the children will first let her take her back to the palace to rest."

Emperor Zhaokang glanced at Tao Ti, who was so drunk, his eyes blurred, and he gave a casual hum.

Queen Zhou's eyes flickered on one side, and she didn't say much.

Pei Yan handed Tao Ti into Linglong's hands, his eyes were cold, but his voice was warm and flat, "Take care of the princess."

Linglong's heart shuddered and said firmly, "Yes."

Tao Ti was assisted by Linglong to leave.

Pei Yan stared at their leaving figures until they were out of sight, then faintly withdrew his gaze, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and continued to maintain a polite and gentle smile.

The banquet was still lively, with silk, bamboo and bamboo, singing and dancing, and laughter and laughter in the intertwined ambitions. Everyone was full of anticipation, waiting for the coming New Year.

...

Tao Ti walked out of the main hall drunk, and when the cold wind blew, she gave her a shock, and her head became sober with cold.

After sitting on the sedan chair surrounded by windshields, she relaxed, tightened the jade cloak on her body, and lazily closed her eyes.

I don't know how long it has passed, Linglong whispered, "Prince Princess, we are here."

Tao Ti's head gently knocked on the sedan chair, and he woke up, subconsciously raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, already feeling sleepy.

Linglong helped her back to the sleeping hall. Tao Ti lay lazily on the couch, being served by the palace people.

After about half an hour, after she finished freshening up, she finally lay on the bed and returned to the warm bed.

When she was in a daze, she had a dream.

In the dream, she and Pei Yan watch fireworks and make snowmen together. A bell rang in the distance, and she hugged Pei Yan happily and said "Happy New Year" to him for the first time.

He bent over and kissed her on the forehead, and also said "Happy New Year" to her.

In an instant, the rumbling fireworks bloomed between the dark sky, bright and bright.

Rumbling...

Rumbling--

The sound of fireworks became louder and louder and louder. Tao Ti was taken aback. When he looked up, he saw a huge meteor crashing down.

She screamed with fright, "Ah!"

Opening her eyes suddenly, she was covered with a curtain of lotus-blue embroidered red plums, and she was covered with a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.

Linglong hurriedly asked outside the curtain, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Ti panted and whispered, "It's okay, I had a dream."

After saying this, she raised her ears and frowned, "What sound is this outside, how rumbling, it's scary."

Linglong hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It should be the movement of fireworks."

Set off fireworks?

"So, it's past New Year's Eve, and it's New Year's Day?"

Linglong said, "It's not here yet, but it's coming soon."

Tao Ti opened the curtain, poked out a small head, and whispered, "Linglong, you pour me a glass of water."

Linglong hurried to pour tea. When she came back from the outside world around the screen, she saw that the princess had already stepped on her sleeping shoes and walked to the window.

Linglong was startled and worried, "Princess, why are you standing by the window to blow the wind and catch the cold carefully."

Tao Ti stretched out her hand and patted her forehead. Is she drunk and hallucinating?

There are obviously no fireworks in the sky, but the sky is red in the distance, as if a demon was born out of the sky.

But the muffled sound of "bang bang bang" that came from far away was very obvious, and the sound made people panic.

"Linglong, look, that direction should be Tai Chi Hall, right? What's wrong over there?" Tao Ti stretched out his finger to the red light.

Linglong hurriedly leaned forward to look, and she was surprised, "Princess, wait a moment, the slave and maid let someone go out to inquire about it."

Tao Ti nodded and slowly sat down on the couch holding the tea cup.

Not long after Linglong got out of the house, she heard the little eunuch's anxious voice from outside, "It's not good, it's not good! There's water in the Taiji Hall!"

A lady of the night watch asked in a panic, "How come you're in the water?"

The little **** cried, "It seems that some rioters have come in!"

There was noisy outside the house.

Inside the room, Tao Ti shook his hand holding the teacup, and half a cup of warm tea poured out, soaking the soft nightdress.

She was pale, her eyelashes trembling like crow feathers.

Walk the water? marauders?

What about Pei Yan, how is he now?
