Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

It was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Qingshu was drunk last night, but because she wanted to bless the people in the house today, she must not be absent as the mother, so Yinger woke her up early.Su Qingshu vaguely remembered that at the palace banquet, the prince hugged her, and she smelled the sweet scent of osmanthus on the prince.I also vaguely remember that the prince carried her all the way out of the palace, her face was buried in the prince's chest.She should have been happier, but the prince was finally willing to touch her, and he didn't retreat three feet, but she also remembered the cold face of the prince.Su Qingshu leaned on the bed and looked at the portrait beside the bed, neither happy nor sad.

"Miss, it's time to wash up."

Su Qingshu looked at Ying Er in a blink of an eye, and nodded.Just as he turned around and was about to get out of bed, he saw the black cloak Zhao Xiyan wore yesterday hanging on the screen.Su Qingshu didn't have time to put on his shoes and ran to the screen, reaching out to caress the thick cloak.Su Qingshu tore off the cloak, put it tightly in his arms, rubbed it on his face, his eyes were full of lust.

"Miss, go back to bed, you haven't put on your shoes yet, be careful of catching a cold."

"Why am I cold? The prince in this room has already installed an earth dragon for me. He is afraid that I will catch a cold, so it is warm everywhere."

"Miss! You..." Seeing her like this, Ying Er sighed and felt helpless.

"Did the prince send me back last night?"

"No, it was Yinger and a few maidservants who brought you back."

"Impossible! The prince must have sent me back. Otherwise, why would the prince's cloak be hanging here?"

"Miss went to the palace with the prince yesterday for a banquet. She was drunk and no one dared to help you out of the palace, and Ying Er couldn't help you out alone. The prince personally carried you out of the palace. This cloak is the result of the prince seeing snowflakes falling on you. I put it on for you in case you might get a cold wind."

"I said that my lord will not be cruel to abandon me, I said that my lord must still care about me! I'm going to find my lord, I'm going to find my lord!"

"Miss! Calm down! Today is New Year's Day, you are the mistress and don't forget the rules! The prince and the others are waiting for you in the front hall."

"Quick! Dress me up."

Su Qingshu's eyes were full of hope, and Ying Er couldn't bear to say something that hurt her heart, so she honestly did her makeup and dressed her.When Su Qingshu arrived at the front hall, he found that everyone was present, except for her.Su Qingshu's eyes were full of joy, watching Zhao Xiyan sitting in a high position.

"The concubine is late, please forgive me, my lord."

"The princess was drunk last night, so she should wake up late today. Sit down."

"Thank you, Lord."

Su Qingshu was a little overjoyed, her nose was already sore, this was probably the only thing the prince said to her since he came back.Even though the words were without emotion, without even looking at her, it wasn't too bad that he was willing to talk to himself.Everyone in the palace was present. First, the two children paid New Year's greetings to the elders in the family, kowtowed and said auspicious words.Zhao Xiyan gave the new year's money and gave the two children different gifts. Qi Chen was a short sword made of black iron, and Qi Rui was an enlightenment book written by Zhao Xiyan himself. He even made a small bed and a wooden horse for Zhao Muning himself. Play.Su Qingshu, as the master mother, naturally wanted to show her affection, and presented lucky money and jade engraved with the names of the children and the seal of Prince Duan's mansion.Xia Shuning still thought about the children's bodies as usual, not only gave thick red envelopes, but also embroidered exquisite sachets, stuffed with prescriptions formulated according to each child's different physique, and even made pastries with her own hands.Qiu Ruyu didn't have any outstanding skills. In addition to the lucky money, she also found a craftsman to make a set of clay figurines from Shan Hai Jing for the children.The two little boys liked Qiu Ruyu's gift very much. The clay figurines were so realistic, and the beasts were so fierce that they couldn't put it down.Ulanya is from Mobei, and she gave them all a small scimitar unique to Mobei. The patterns on it are all Mobei's totems, and many gemstones are intentionally inlaid.The two little boys were overjoyed when they received the gift, even Zhao Muning giggled as he nestled in Xia Shuning's arms.

The servants in the mansion came to the master one by one to pay New Year's greetings according to their ranks. Zhao Xiyan and Su Qingshu gave the New Year's money together, and the other women followed suit.The servants paid New Year's greetings to the master's house, because the palace is not considered crowded, so the distribution was finished before lunch.After Zhao Xiyan got Zhao Muning, his mentality changed a lot. This year, the New Year's money given to the servants in the mansion was doubled compared to before, and they were also allowed to take turns to visit relatives in their hometown after the next year. Two silver coins for travel expenses.The servants are naturally very happy, as servants of the palace, they can only return to their hometowns unless the master agrees that the servants will take leave.

In the evening, Prince Duan's Mansion held a family banquet, and the whole family naturally gathered together neatly.Because Zhao Xiyan has already ordered that in the future, meals in the mansion are not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful. Originally, no more than 36 dishes are allowed, but today's family banquet has [-] dishes, each of which is prepared by the kitchen according to the masters. to your liking.Su Qingshu still sat on Zhao Xiyan's left side, eating quietly, never leaving Zhao Xiyan's eyes.Zhao Xiyan was in quite a good mood today, because the two boys in the mansion were cute and smart, Zhao Xiyan even recited the thousand-character essay for Zhao Xiyan at the banquet.Zhao Qichen was already six years old after his birthday in winter, his body was taller but his face was still immature and his eyes were clear.Zhao Qichen offered tea to Zhao Xiyan and recited a New Year's poem. Zhao Xiyan was very happy.Touched his little head and praised him several times, then handed him cloth vegetables.Zhao Qichen wasn't picky eaters, he ate whatever he liked.When it was Zhao Qirui's turn, except for the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic, he memorized everything in a mess, which made Xia Shuning laugh so hard.Zhao Xiyan didn't blame him either, the kid was only four years old, and he was already very good at reciting the thousand-character prose and the three-character scripture.Qi Rui felt wronged and dared not look at Zhao Xiyan, let alone her mother Ulanya.Zhao Xiyan picked him up from the ground, hugged him on his lap to comfort the child, Qi Rui was a little angry when he saw his mother in Zhao Xiyan's arms, and was even more afraid to bury his head in Zhao Xiyan's arms.Qi Rui's small appearance in Zhao Xiyan's arms is just proud, as if to say that my father is here, and I am not afraid of my mother.How could Xia Shuning not know the child's thoughts, seeing that his lips were a little dry, afraid that he would be thirsty, so he hurriedly fed Qi Rui a mouthful of soup.Seeing her sister, Qi Rui ran down from Zhao Xiyan's arms to see her.Zhao Muning also thought this little brother was fun, so he stretched out his hand to grab his arm, and the two of them had a great time.Xia Shuning saw that the two boys had both paid New Year's greetings to Zhao Xiyan, so she put Zhao Muning's hands together and helped her to pay New Year's greetings to Zhao Xiyan.

"Muning also paid New Year's greetings to his father."

Zhao Xiyan looked at Zhao Muning's chubby little face, and his heart was like a flower blooming. He took Zhao Muning's nose and gently rubbed the tip of Zhao Muning's nose, and kissed him a few more times, which made Zhao Muning giggle.I don't know if it's because of the good time of the new year, or because Zhao Muning has a small tooth, Zhao Xiyan is in a good mood, looking at Zhao Muning's similar face to Xia Shuning, he always remembers Xia Shuning's perseverance and love for him.Zhao Xiyan turned his face away emotionally, hugged the child in one hand, covered Xia Shuning's cold hands with the other, and warmed her hands.Wen Nuan passed from Zhao Xiyan's hand to Xia Shuning's, Xia Shuning responded with a smile and affection, and Zhao Xiyan tightened his grip on the hand.This scene is a mutual love, except for the child, all three women are jealous and very sour.Ulanya thought that one plan would fail, and there was another plan, which was to take Zhao Xiyan down sooner or later.Qiu Ruyu could only upset the jealous jar in her heart, and on the surface she didn't dare to go to see them except sadly.She knew that she and Zhao Xiyan would never be possible. Zhao Xiyan and Zhao Xiyan were brothers and grew up together. They were women who would rather die than blaspheme her younger brother.So she could only watch from a distance, discipline Qi Chen well, and not let Qi Chen worry about him.Before Su Qingshu went out, she saw the cloak that Zhao Xiyan put on her and gave birth to many hopes, but now this scene shattered all her hopes.Like a raging fire, it was met with a torrential rain.

The noise of Qi Rui eating fish broke the silence.The people at the table returned to the way they were talking and laughing before.Qiu Ruyu was busy staring at Zhao Qichen to eat, serving him dishes from time to time.Zhao Xiyan saw that Zhao Qichen had a balanced diet and ate everything, but he preferred warm and nourishing vegetarian dishes like yam.Zhao Xiyan felt that the child should eat more meat when he was growing up, so he gave him some beef and pork.After all, Qi Rui is a child of Mobei, especially he doesn't like vegetarian food, he only likes meat, but his favorite is squirrel mandarin fish, fried crispy and sour, sweet and sour.Zhao Xiyan didn't like that he only ate meat and was not a vegetarian, so he specially arranged some vegetarian dishes for him.Qi Rui was busy complaining when he saw his father serving him vegetarian dishes, but Ulanya pretended to be angry, so he could only obediently eat it.Seeing that there was a plate of stir-fried lotus root slices in front of him, Zhao Xiyan picked it up and put it in Xia Shuning's bowl.Seeing that he only served Xia Shuning with vegetables, the girls felt jealous, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.Zhao Xiyan didn't think so much at first, but when he saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward, he also felt that he was playing favoritism on stage.

Zhao Xiyan sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, first put a piece of eight-treasure duck for Qiu Ruyu, then cut a leg of lamb for Ulanya, and finally put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Su Qingshu.Su Qingshu originally thought that he would not bring food for him, so he quietly felt uncomfortable.But he didn't expect that Zhao Xiyan would still pick her up, and he didn't expect that after so many years, he obviously hated him, but he still remembered that he liked sweet and sour pork ribs.A long time ago, Su Qingshu and Zhao Xiyan had dinner together. Su Qingshu didn't eat much meat, but he liked sweet and sour pork ribs.She never thought that she just said it casually, and he actually remembered it.Su Qingshu's nose was not only sore, but her heart was also sore. After she had miscarriage cruelly, she took delicate and delicious supplements every day.I thought it was just that Ying Er intentionally ordered the kitchen to stew, but I never thought that the prince condescended to stew Ba Ba Duan himself every day.Afraid that he didn't want to see him get angry and ruin his body, he waited outside the room every day for twenty days at a time.Back then, she was too dissatisfied, she could speak without restraint, and pushed the prince further and further away.When Su Qingshu thought of this, the corners of Su Qingshu's eyes became moist, and he glanced at Zhao Xiyan. Zhao Xiyan was taking a new pair of chopsticks and ordering different flavors into Zhao Muning's mouth, patiently teaching her to distinguish the world's flavors.Su Qingshu bit the sweet and sour pork ribs in the bowl with his teeth, chewed and swallowed slowly.Yinger saw her, and continued to stand and put several pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs into the bowl for her.

After dinner, the whole family went to the yard to watch the fireworks.Zhao Xiyan asked Xiangyun to go to the biggest fireworks shop in Beijing to buy some fireworks and put them back home.The servants moved the fireworks to a higher place, lit them up and ran away covering their ears.With a few sounds, the fireworks spewed out from the ground, drawing a beautiful curve in the dark night, and burst at the highest point, emitting colorful fireworks all over the sky, which is really beautiful.When the children saw such beautiful fireworks, they were all jumping and admiring the beauty of the fireworks.Zhao Xiyan hugged Zhao Muning to watch the fireworks, and took Xia Shuning by the hand. Zhao Muning could not speak yet but knew how to babble when he saw the fireworks. Xia Shuning kept wiping her saliva for her, with a loving face.Qiu Ruyu and Ulanya had never seen such a big and brilliant firework. The two 20-year-old mothers who had children cheered like girls.In this mansion, only Su Qingshu couldn't laugh, even though Yinger couldn't stop pulling her to tell her to watch the fireworks.

If she was a girl in her teens, she would be as excited as she was, with the joy of a daughter's mentality.But she has gone through so much, fireworks are nothing but sentimental things in her eyes.Fireworks spend their whole life, only for the momentary bloom, the beauty is only for a moment, and then disillusionment, no longer exists.

This new year, because Zhao Xiyan is in the mansion, it must be considered happy and happy.Also because of the Chinese New Year, the family had to reunite. Because of the children, Zhao Xiyan got closer to Qiu Ruyu and Ulanya, and he was not as indifferent and cold as before.In the same way, he didn't treat Su Qingshu as empty as he used to. He would send someone to Qingbo Garden to give away good things from the palace.When greeting him in the morning, Su Qingshu occasionally came late on purpose to talk to him, but he didn't let it go, he didn't feel cold and still alienated, and he didn't send anyone to Qingbo Garden to take back the black cloak.

Just after the new year, Ansheng passed the dragon and raised his head to sacrifice to the sky. Unexpectedly, the civil strife in Mobei came from Mobei. Mobei Khan asked Daqi to send troops to quell the chaos, and was willing to sign a century-old non-aggression treaty with Daqi. Pay tribute every year to send the princess to marry.The second and third princes of Mobei forced the palace, and the Khan of Mobei and the eldest prince were trapped in the palace of Mobei.Emperor Shaoyuan didn't want to send troops to help, but now Mobei Khan and Da Qi are also considered in-laws, not to mention that Da Qi and Mobei have just signed a 50-year non-aggression agreement between the two countries.If you don't save Mobei now, you may be criticized by the surrounding countries.The prince and his party fully supported Daqi to send troops to support Mobei, and strongly recommended Duan Wang as the commander-in-chief.The prince and his party used the princess of Mobei as the reason for giving birth to the emperor's grandson. She was the woman of King Duan, and King Duan strongly recommended her for her military exploits in defeating Mobei.These remarks are flawless and reasonable, there is no one more suitable than Duan Wang, the son-in-law of Mobei, in the court.Emperor Shaoyuan didn't want Zhao Xiyan to take any more risks, so he tried to press him down, but the crown prince pressed on every step of the way.Emperor Shaoyuan trembled with anger several times, and Zhao Xiyan didn't want to go to Mobei at this time, so he tried his best to resign.How could Su Xiang not know that the prince was going to send King Duan to the fire pit, so he incited his disciples to write a letter for King Duan, and tried his best to invite others to fight.Duan Wang's Party and the Communist Party, the quarrel was in full swing, no distinction was made, Mobei repeatedly begged, but Emperor Shaoyuan had no choice but to send Zhao Xiyan to Mobei.

Zhao Xiyan choked his chest with a breath of malice. This trip must be extremely dangerous, especially the viciousness of the prince's heart.He is going to use Mobei's hand to kill Duan Wang and ask him to die in a foreign land.Zhao Xiyan didn't know how many ambushes were buried along the way, but the crown prince was determined not to treat him kindly.Zhao Xiyan died in Mobei, it can only be said that Mobei people killed him, how can he be blamed for the crime.The Emperor Shaoyuan was forced to do nothing by the crown prince, so he made the decree. At the same time, he entrusted the eldest son of Marquis of Zhenbei, Yue Fuzhong, to Zhao Xiyan, and sent many emperor's secret guards to follow him.Emperor Shaoyuan wanted Zhao Xiyan to return to the capital alive, and that was the only thing he could do. He even gave Zhao Xiyan half of the military amulet of the Northern Marquis Army.

When Ulanya heard about the civil strife in Mobei, her father Khan and her brother were both trapped, and she was even more anxious.Zhao Xiyan didn't want to take Ulanya back to Mobei to take this muddy water, but Ulanya must go back.Ulanya seldom cried so hard that she knelt down in front of Zhao Xiyan and begged, but Zhao Xiyan was determined not to take her away.
