Blossoms are blooming

An Ziyan who returned to the house couldn't restrain his excitement, thinking maybe he could sleep soundly tonight!

That night, An Ziyan really woke up until dawn, and when he woke up the next day, his energy was much better than before.Today is the Laba Festival, everyone got up very early, the kitchen has already prepared Laba porridge, waiting for the hosts to get up to eat, Qiu Huaisheng naturally followed An Ziyan and the others to have breakfast together.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, son, follow your daughter-in-law to see what else you need to buy at the mansion. By the way, Huaisheng, do you want to stay at the palace for the New Year?" An Shaoqin knew from their chat yesterday Qiu Huaisheng had bid farewell to Master Xuanqing, specifically because An Shaoqin didn't ask any more questions, and An Shaoqin naturally didn't know the situation in Qiu Huaisheng's family.

Qiu Huaisheng was so asked that he didn't know how to answer. It would be a bit abrupt to say to stay for the New Year, but if he didn't stay, he would have nowhere to go. Presumably those inns would be closed during the New Year.

"Brother Huaisheng, you should stay. I heard that the roads in the north are blocked due to the heavy snow. It may not be safe for you to go back. You might as well stay and celebrate the New Year with us!" An Ziyan originally wanted to say goodbye His father said that he would keep Qiu Huaisheng to celebrate the New Year, but he didn't expect that he would ask Qiu Huaisheng before his father in order to say so.

"If that's the case, then don't bother!" So it was decided that Qiu Huaisheng would stay for the New Year.

After eating Laba porridge, An Ziyan brought Qiu Huaisheng to the kitchen and made Laba garlic with Qiu Huaisheng.Speaking of Laba garlic, it is to be made on the day of Laba Festival. An Ziyan eats high-quality rice vinegar, then puts the peeled purple garlic into a urn, pours an appropriate amount of rice vinegar into it, and finally closes the lid Tighten the lid of the urn and put it in a cooler place, and it can be taken out to eat on New Year's Eve.

Everyone in the palace is busy with their own affairs, it seems that An Ziyan is the most free, so taking advantage of this gap, An Ziyan took Qiu Huaisheng to wander around the palace, saying that the last time Qiu Huaisheng came to the palace was just Living in the guest room or going to and from An Ziyan's dormitory, he hadn't had time to see the palace by himself.

This palace was newly built after An Shaoqin became the regent. An Ziyan was only one year old when it was built, so even after more than ten years, the palace still looks very new.

At this time, the two of them came to a pool. In the middle of the pool was a small hill about ten feet high. There was a curved bridge connected to the hill, and a gazebo was being repaired on the hill.Because it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the small hills have been covered by thick snow, and the vegetation on the hills has also withered, leaving only a few evergreen pines and cypresses showing a little greenness from the white snow.

"That hill is called Nanzhu Mountain, and the pavilion on it is called Cuiyun Pavilion. Standing on Cuiyun Pavilion, you can see all the scenes of the palace. I wonder if Brother Huaisheng wants to go up and have a look?" Actually, An Ziyan doesn't go to Nanzhu Mountain often. I went up there a few times when I was young, it was because his health was not that bad at that time, and when he grew up, his father and father would not let him go up. Although Nanzhu Mountain is not high, there is no shelter from the wind. If you go up, it is easy to be blown by the cold wind. An Ziyan couldn't see the wind at the time, but now he is in good health. Occasionally, a cold and fever will not kill him. He wants to take this opportunity to go up and have a look, and The place is quiet, perfect for a lovers' tryst.

Thinking of the word "tryst", An Ziyan felt a little embarrassed.Although he used to be alone with Qiu Huaisheng often, but at that time he didn't feel anything was wrong, but now the relationship between the two has changed, so An Ziyan became a little shy when they were alone.

"Then let's go up and have a look!" As he said that, Qiu Huaisheng walked in front of An Ziyan in a rebellious manner. An Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then followed with a secret joy in his heart.

It didn't take much effort to climb up the small hill of ten battles.The two stood on the pavilion overlooking the scenery in front of them.The golden sunlight slanted down from the clouds and shone on the white snow, adding a touch of warmth to the cold winter day.

"Is it cold? If it's cold, let's go down!" Although there is sunshine, Qiu Huaisheng is still worried that An Ziyan will be frozen. After all, this place is on the mountain. Although it is not high, there will be cold wind blowing in, and there is no stove here. Keeping warm, you won't feel cold when you just walk, but you can feel a little bit of cold wind blowing when you stop.

"It's not cold, I want to stay longer!" It's really not cold, because Qiu Huaisheng pulled up his shirt and wrapped An Ziyan in his chest, and Qiu Huaisheng's body temperature came from his back. Even though he felt cold just now, at this moment he felt My heart is warm.

"Then stay a little longer!" As he said that, Qiu Huaisheng hugged An Ziyan even tighter, and the two who were close to each other smelled each other's breath.

"Brother Huaisheng, do you think we will always be together like this?" An Ziyan had imagined the scene of the two being together countless times, imagining that the two could hold hands and grow old together. Originally, he thought that the two would have no chance to be together. Together, but finally together.

"Yes, we will always be together!" Qiu Huaisheng replied quietly behind An Ziyan.

Hearing Qiu Huaisheng's answer, An Ziyan leaned his head back. An Ziyan suddenly realized that he hadn't been this happy for a long time, and suddenly couldn't control himself from laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" An Ziyan shook his head, but he kept a smile on his face all the time. He looked forward. Today's weather is really good!

The two stayed on the mountain for about two quarters of an hour before going down. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and dinner was probably ready in the kitchen.

As expected, when the two arrived in the main room, the people had already laid out the meals, and then Fengbei took the second seat with An Shaoqin's support, and then An Shaoqin took the main seat.

Since today is the Laba Festival, and it was agreed yesterday to clean up the dust for Qiu Huaisheng today, the dinner prepared by the kitchen is richer than usual. Qiu Huaisheng still respected it, because in previous years, the palace celebrated the Laba Festival just like usual, and it would not be so extravagant.

"Okay, let's all sit down and eat! Huaisheng, although today is the Laba Festival, the most important thing is to welcome you, so you don't have to be too restrained, just like being at your own home!" An Shaoqin, as the head of the family, The Lord spoke first.

"Then this junior thanked the lord here!" After speaking, Qiu Huaisheng bowed to An Shaoqin, and then sat down on the chairs with everyone.

The rice is served before the servants eat, so you can move your chopsticks as soon as you sit down. No one talks, but everyone has a tacit understanding to put food in the bowl of your beloved. Everything is so harmonious .It wasn't until after dinner that everyone moved to the back room. The charcoal fire had already been burned in the back room, and everyone gathered around the charcoal fire and chatted.

The author has something to say: This chapter has been stuck for a long time, and I finally got it out. I pray that the bottleneck will pass quickly!
