Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

The palace banquet was lively. Mei Susu looked very familiar to all the ministers present. She even knew some of them. She classified these people into three categories.

One category is Xuanyuan Che’s people.

One category is neutral.

One category is the Cao family.

Headed by the prime minister, the ministers sitting close to the prime minister, at a glance, those with stern faces are the ones from the Cao family.

The ones who were holding cups and laughing were Xuanyuan Che's men.

Those who are left are anxiously trying to please both sides and are not on either side.

It was said to be a New Year's palace banquet, but in fact everyone had their own ulterior motives. During the banquet, many ministers came to toast Xuanyuan Che, and he never refused any of them. After a round of toasts, he, who rarely drank, had a flushed face.

The first time Mei Susu saw Xuanyuan Che in a tipsy state, she felt that he was different from usual. At this moment, his charming face was slightly flushed, his phoenix eyes were a little blurry, and his whole body was cold with the influence of alcohol, making him look like someone who wanted to be ravaged.

If he was lying on the couch like this...

Mei Susu's ears turned red and she immediately lowered her head and coughed twice to cover up her ridiculous thoughts.

"Ok?"

Xuanyuan Che seemed to have noticed something and clamped Mei Susu's jaw, forcing her to look up at him.

Mei Susu had just taken a bite of the snowflake crisp when he lifted her head up. Some white snowflake crisp fragments were stained on her lips. She subconsciously stretched out her pink tongue to lick it, but she didn't know how seductive her action was.

Xuanyuan Che moved the fingers that were clamping her chin, and then slowly, slowly lowered his head.

When Mei Susu saw his handsome face getting closer and closer, shyness first flashed across her eyes, then a blush quickly crept up her face. As her heart beat faster, she closed her eyes.

But the expected kiss did not come, but instead the hot fingertips brushed across her lips.

A magnetic voice with a smirk rang out: "Susu, what are you doing?"

Mei Susu opened her eyes suddenly, and when she saw Xuanyuan Che's smirk, she realized that she had been deceived.

Anger appeared on her pretty face. Mei Susu pouted and snorted, then turned her head away: "Cheche is bullying me. I won't pay attention to you anymore."

When she was angry, her cheeks puffed up, and from Xuanyuan Che's position, she looked really cute.

He reached out and pinched it, causing Meisusu to slap his hand angrily, then turned her head to the other side: "Don't touch me, I'm angry."

"Then how can Susu forgive me?"

"No forgiveness."

"Gold?"

"No."

"baby?"

"No."

"That......."

Mei Susu shook her little head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm angry. I don't want anything."

"In that case, it seems I have to go alone." Xuanyuan Che sighed slightly, as if it was a great pity.

Mei Susu's little ears moved. Where are you going?

going out to play?

By the way, he said today that he would take her to see the lantern festival tomorrow. If he didn’t take me out, it would be a waste of my two rabbit lanterns.

But no matter how anxious she was, Mei Susu's pride would not allow her to bow her head first.

At worst, she wouldn't go tomorrow. She would lock herself in the room and go on a hunger strike to see who would starve to death first or he would get anxious first.

Seeing that the girl in his arms was unmoved, Xuanyuan Che knew that the step he gave was not big enough, so he said, "It would be boring for me to go alone, Susu, are you willing to go with me?"

Mei Susu remained unmoved. She thought angrily, don't think I will take the opportunity just because you give me a way out. I won't!

"Susu isn't going?"

"Are you really not going?"

Mei Susu tilted her body again, expressing her attitude with her actions.

Xuanyuan Che pulled her into his arms, turned her little face, and kissed her on the lips.

Although Xuanyuan Che blocked it with his sleeves, it couldn't be seen from a distance, but the little palace maid who was adding wine nearby could see it.

The young palace maid was so frightened by this scene that her hands trembled slightly, and the wine spilled on the table.

She quickly wiped it with her sleeve and stepped back.

She retreated in a panic, as if she was running away, for fear that she would see something she shouldn't and have her eyes gouged out.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been cold-blooded and ruthless. Last time, a palace maid was punished for touching his wine cup. If she saw this scene, she might not be beheaded.

I just never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who always hated women, would have such a tender side.

"Don't think I won't be angry just because of this." Mei Susu got the advantage and acted cute, but in fact she was very happy.

Xuanyuan Che pinched her nose and said, "Susu, be good and don't be angry. I will take you to watch the fireworks later."

Mei Susu's eyes lit up: "Where is it?"

"Susu will know in a moment."

After the palace banquet, Emperor Shunde took treasures and rewarded them to ministers who had made contributions or had prominent status, and also rewarded concubines in the harem to show the emperor's great grace.

What followed was the most amazing part of the palace banquet: watching the fireworks.

Xuanyuan Che took Mei Susu out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then walked to a secluded place while holding Mei Susu in his arms.

Mei Susu suddenly thought of a place, so she asked excitedly: "Cheche, are you going to take me to Zhaixing Pavilion?"

The terrain there is high, so watching the fireworks will definitely be beautiful.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Che shook his head and said, "Not going there."

"If not going there, where else should we go?" Mei Susu was puzzled.

Xuanyuan Che lowered his head and rubbed her nose: "You will know when you get to Susu."

When Xuanyuan Che pushed open the familiar door, Mei Susu realized that the place Xuanyuan Che was talking about was the late queen's bedroom, Yongning Palace.

When I stepped up the stairs, I saw that the snow on the stairs had been cleared away, and a shed was built on top to prevent the falling snow.

Under the shed is a table and two chairs put together. On the table is an exquisite charcoal stove with an iron net on top, which is "gurgling" with fragrant tea brewing. There are also a circle of fruits, peanuts and other things placed around it.

A bluebird holding a lamp illuminates the surroundings with warmth.

This scene is truly warm and elegant.

Xuanyuan Che took Mei Susu's hand and sat down. Afraid that she would be cold, he covered her legs with the small quilt that he had warmed up earlier and stuffed a hot water bottle into her hand.

Mei Susu was surrounded tightly, and even in such a snowy and icy place, she was sweating from the heat.

Xuanyuan Che picked up a roasted peanut from the fire, peeled it, blew off the skin, and then fed it to Mei Susu's mouth.

"Taste it."

Mei Susu opened her mouth and swallowed the peanuts. She chewed them twice, and immediately the burnt aroma of the peanuts spread in her mouth: "Delicious!"

Xuanyuan Che fed the remaining one into her mouth: "It's delicious. I'll peel some for Susu."

Mei Susu nodded obediently. The surroundings were silent except for the crackling sound of the charcoal fire.

Xuanyuan Che's figure was shrouded in candlelight, emitting a halo of light.

It seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

The next moment, a brilliant firework exploded in the sky, beautiful and colorful, with golden light and scattered starlight, illuminating the sky and the scenery under the steps.

I saw a line of words appearing on the snow below the steps.

[I only wish Mei Susu to be happy every year and stay with Gu Qingchen forever]
