Chapter 1268: Keeping the Year
Although there are too many things that have happened this year, and there are still many things that are unresolved, the third master doesn't want to wronged Xiao Nuan. After sending Xiao Nuan back to the house, the third master returned to the palace to participate in the imperial banquet, and after seeing the emperor and queen of Jianlong Emperor Li pretending to be harmonious for more than an hour, she hurried back to the house before the time of the child.
Although it is an internal and external trouble, the Chinese New Year's Eve in Beijing still hangs red lanterns and changes to brand new couplets, hoping for a bumper harvest and peace in the world in the coming year. At this hour, except for the prosperous streets such as Yongning and Changqing, there is no sound anywhere, and every household is closed for the New Year.
The third master rode through such a quiet street, which was particularly eye-catching. When he was about to arrive at Changning Street, two men with torches and knives crossed the street for routine inspection.
The third master pulled the horse, and the person holding the torch said loudly, "We are the city patrol soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, who are you, where are you from, do you have a token?" ”
Hearing this, the third master was not angry, and his cold eyes showed a little satisfaction. Because he asked Lu Zhengqi to arrange these people, in case someone took advantage of the night to make trouble.
Before the third master could speak, a wide figure ran out next to him, and his ball-like body rolled to the third master's side very quickly, "Get out of the way, blind your dog's eyes, even Prince Sheng's horse dares to stop it!" ”
How did they know that this was King Sheng! The two officers and soldiers were so frightened that the torches in their hands fell to the ground, knelt on their knees and kowtowed repeatedly, "The little ones have eyes but no beads, please forgive the prince." ”
"Get up."
The officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground did not know what to do. Hearing that King Sheng's voice was cold, but there was no anger, the horizontal Chai Zhisui hurriedly shouted, "Don't hurry up, we can't afford to delay King Sheng's big event." ”
The two little soldiers hurriedly knelt and crawled to the side, and the third master rode in front of them, his voice slightly gentle, "Good job, if my officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou are like you, why worry that the world is not peaceful." ”
The two officers and soldiers raised their heads, and with the help of the torches on the ground, they saw a flash of golden light in the hands of King Sheng, who was like a god, and there was something more in their hands.
The two were overjoyed and thanked each other again and again.
"Chai Zhisui."
Chai Zhisui immediately pulled his eyes from the golden beads to the third master's horse eyes, and looked up at King Sheng? He didn't have the guts, he was afraid that his eyes would dissatisfy King Sheng, so he drew his sword and chopped him off, "Your subordinates are here, you command, Lord Wang." ”
He is now a petty official of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and it is decent to claim to be a subordinate in front of King Sheng.
"You're in charge of this alley?" The third master asked calmly.
Chai Zhisui hurriedly said, "There is also the one in the west, which is the responsibility of the subordinates." Something you command. ”
Although the Chengping Mansion was defeated, if King He really had the heart to help, Chai Zhisui would not have been promoted after staying in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for more than two years. Fortunately, although this Chai Zhisui has no ability, he has learned lessons over the years, and he can mix well in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he is living well.
This fat man used to be the most unpleasant to the eyes of the third master in the capital, but after the defeat of Chengping Palace, he actually became the most pleasing one of the three masters in the He Wang's branch, "Just guard it and don't let go of a suspicious person." If someone disobeys discipline by virtue of his identity, show this sign and escort him back directly. ”
Chai Zhisui raised his hand to catch the token thrown by King Sheng, raised his head, the fat on his face trembled like a feather duster, "Subordinate, subordinate......"
When the neat third master saw his flesh, he couldn't wait to draw his sword and shave it clean for him. Simply out of sight and out of mind, he crossed the two lively streets with a horse's belly and returned to the palace.
In Jiamutang's bedroom, Xiao Nuan, who was sleeping soundly, felt a warmth on his face. She turned her head, and warmth followed. Half-asleep, Xiao Nuan muttered, "Rhubarb, sleep!" ”
Just these four words successfully turned the tenderness in the eyes of the third master into ice slag. Xiao Nuan, who had a strong sixth sense, woke up immediately, opened his eyes and saw the cold eyes of the third master, and almost subconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth to both sides, revealing a rhubarb-style smile, "Third master, are you back?" ”
The third master was silent.
Xiao Nuan flatteringly raised her arm around his neck, and her voice was delicate and soft, "It's not cold, come in, it's warm in the bed." ”
It seems that she didn't make out enough with her to let herself touch her, and when she first thought of rhubarb. After the imperial grandmother's filial piety is over, she must be turned over.
Xiao Nuan's scalp was numb by the third master's explicit eyes, and when he raised his hand to lift his quilt, Xiao Nuan was so frightened that he grabbed his hand and weakly reminded, "It's been more than five months." ”
"Hmm." The third master continued to lift.
"What about the ...... system"
"Hmm."
The third master had already lifted the warm quilt and raised his hand to her...... Get dressed, "It's time to get up, get up and keep the New Year." ”
Little Warm ...... It's embarrassing.
"Are you guarding under the covers?"
"What do you say?"
“…… No way. ”
Xiao Nuan obediently put on her clothes, and the third master carried her to the couch under the window to watch the candle fire to watch the New Year. The third master enclosed her in his arms and looked at the burned wick on the candlestick.
Xiao Nuan looked up at his focused expression and asked softly, "Third Master, did you keep the New Year like this in previous years?" ”
The third master lowered his eyes and covered her little face with his gaze, "In the study, or in the palace." ”
When he was busy in the study, he was considered a young man. Xiao Nuan put her little head on his neck, "I didn't know you could rush back, so I wasn't prepared." Next year, let's prepare a table of delicious food and take the children to celebrate the New Year. ”
The third master smiled, "Next year, the child will only be six or seven months old, how to keep the year?" ”
Xiao Nuan's eyes were horizontal, and he deliberately said fiercely, "You have to wake up when you fall asleep, your father and mother are all guarding it, how can they sleep." ”
"It makes sense."
Xiao Nuan was embarrassed by him, and he couldn't see the hourglass, and he didn't know how long it was before he was in the palace at this time, so he wanted to talk to him about what happened in the palace today, "I carefully scrutinized today's Ansheng and found some problems. I think the ...... in Yongfu Palace today"
The third master raised his finger and pressed her lips, "Keep the New Year, don't say this, just say you and me, only say festive, next year." ”
Xiao Nuan nodded and bit her lip, wanting to say two emotional words but couldn't say anything, she simply raised her head and kissed his chin.
The third master understood her intentions, and also bowed his head and kissed her, and promised, "From now on, I will keep the New Year with you until the end of the year." ”
Xiao Nuan nodded vigorously, "I ......"
"Smack, smack, smack!" Before Xiao Nuan's words could be spoken, the sound of crackling firecrackers was remembered outside the hospital.
When the Year of the Tiger arrived, the third master raised his hand to cover her ears and stared at the window that was red by firecrackers. This year is the eighth year of Jiahe, and it will also be the last year of this era!
After the sound of firecrackers, the third master took Xiao Nuan to the outside of Jiamu Hall, and the guards, servants and maids in the palace knelt down together to greet the New Year.
The third master shouted, said a few encouraging words and gave a reward, and then returned to the room with Xiao Nuan and gave her a bag of gold beads as New Year's money.
Xiao Nuan held the golden beads and smiled, the God of Wealth gave the golden beads, this is a good omen for making a fortune!
Although Xiao Nuan doesn't have to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, the third master still has to go. After sending the third master out, Xiao Nuan fell asleep again, and when she woke up, Xuan Wu sent her a big news:
Zhu Rong of Yongfu Palace fell into the pool of the Imperial Garden last night and drowned.
