On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not just the common people who visit. The Tian family also needs to visit.
In the early morning, after all the palaces went to pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress Dowager Wei, they began to visit each other. This kind of visit was somewhat meant to please, but most of the favored concubines would wait in their own palaces and wait calmly.
Invite others to visit you and give you some New Year gifts.
Today's Wende Palace is no longer as cold as before, but most of the people who come to visit are Guo Wanrou's natal family. They bring some gold and silver jewelry to please the principal. Although Zhao Yuan has not yet won the crown prince.
title, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gaozong's attitude towards him gradually changed, and sometimes he looked at him with a kind of appreciation in his eyes.
Even if Zhao Yu can win the favor of Empress Dowager Wei, so what? How long do you think an old woman with one foot in the coffin can still play around with? Therefore, some discerning people in the court are moving closer to Zhao Yuan.
Everyone in the royal family is afraid that their descendants will form cliques, and Gaozong is no exception. Therefore, the only opportunity to sit with Zhao Yuan in an upright and honest manner is only once a year. Therefore, those who want to please people will naturally not
Let it go.
The excitement in the Hall of Wende lasted until noon, and then gradually stopped.
When Wende Hall finally became quiet, Zhao Yuan took a deep breath and walked quickly towards the back garden.
Early this morning, when Zhao Yuan took Guo Wanrou to pay homage to the emperor, the emperor gave him many small snacks to take back to the Wende Hall. Every time he thought of those small snacks, he remembered the time when Leng Changxi was greedy for some snacks.
Lovely expression. This morning, he was sitting in the temple, but his mind had already flown to the bamboo house deep in the bamboo forest.
Therefore, as soon as the people who came to pay New Year greetings left, he couldn't wait to run to the backyard.
No matter how noisy it is outside, the bamboo forest where Leng Changxi lives is always so quiet and seems a little isolated from the world. When Zhao Yuan stepped into the bamboo forest, all the fatigue on his body suddenly peeled off, replaced by a feeling of comfort.
, also with a bit of sweetness.
Although Leng Changxi still spoke coldly to him, the conversation under the fireworks last night gave him a glimmer of hope. With a bit of excitement, Zhao Yuan took a food box from Xiaodouzi and ordered:
"Stay here and don't let anyone in."
Xiaodouzi responded: "Yes!", then turned around and stood guard by Nianxi Lake.
Zhao Yuan personally carried the food box and walked through the bamboo forest towards the small bamboo house.
Seeing that the small bamboo house gradually grew bigger in her eyes, Zhao Yuan could no longer suppress the joy in her heart, and even the smile on her lips quietly pulled up without concealing it.
I knocked on the door and heard a lazy voice coming from inside the house: "The door is unlocked."
Zhao Yuan's hands began to tremble slightly because of the excitement in his heart. He seemed to have never felt like a young boy who had just discovered his sexual desire. He used to like Leng Changxi. It was subtle and he had become accustomed to it over the years. Until today.
, he finally understood how torturing the feelings written in the book about gains and losses because of love were.
Zhao Yuan took a deep breath and calmed down a little, then slowly opened the door and saw the lovely person lying lazily on the soft couch.
"Little Bao'er..." Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed with soft light, he put the food box on the table, walked towards her, and slowly sat in front of her.
Leng Changxi lowered her eyebrows and snorted without looking at her. Her expressionless face showed no trace of what she was thinking.
Zhao Yuan sighed slightly in his heart, his eyes were a little dim, but he felt very satisfied. At least Leng Changxi no longer looked at him with eyes full of hatred like yesterday.
With a somewhat flattering smile, Zhao Yuan opened the food box on the table, took out some exquisite dots, placed them one by one on the small table in front of the soft couch, and said: "Little Bao'er, you
Try it and see, these are small snacks given by your father, and you can’t eat them normally.”
After that, he picked up a piece of golden pastry and put it to Leng Changxi's lips: "This is golden crab cake. Try it. It's made in a very special way. I heard that this crab meat is fresh sea crab. At the same time,
The taste of regular crabs is different.”
When Leng Changxi heard this, she didn't open her mouth to eat the golden crab cake. She just glanced at it lightly, then stretched out a delicate white hand, took a piece from the plate and put it into her mouth.
Suddenly, a fresh and crispy taste lingered on her tongue. The taste was so comfortable that Leng Changxi squinted her eyes slightly, and uttered with her red lips for a long time: "Not bad!"
Although Zhao Yuan felt a little uncomfortable that Leng Changxi did not eat the golden crab cake in his hand, he still felt a warm current in his heart when he heard her words of praise.
Then, he picked up another plate and put it in front of Leng Changxi: "Little Bao'er, try this, it's the special tribute longan, the taste is very extraordinary!"
Leng Changxi took a look at the plate and saw that the longan was still hanging fresh and plump. It looked like it had been delivered quickly. In modern times, it would be very easy to eat such fresh fruit.
But in ancient times, under limited preservation conditions, it was really not easy to see this fruit that was only available in the south. It can be seen that this longan is also extremely precious.
Leng Changxi didn't say anything, she just picked up one, peeled it open and put it in her mouth. The sweet and familiar taste immediately overflowed into her mouth. This was the first time she had eaten longan since arriving here!
Seeing the faint smile on Leng Changxi's lips, Zhao Yuan felt relieved and started chatting with her without realizing it.
"Little Bao'er, Uncle Leng has sent a message, saying that he will arrive in Lin'an in a few days." Zhao Yuan said casually, but glanced at Leng Changxi from the corner of his eyes. He looked at Leng Changxi's expression carefully.
She was afraid that she would be unhappy in her heart and the hard-earned peace would be broken.
However, when Leng Changxi heard this, she was not angry. However, the smile on her lips paused and her eyebrows gradually narrowed. It wasn't that she didn't miss her parents, but it was because she didn't know how to face them now. People said,
Home is the warmest harbor. No matter how many winds and rains you encounter outside, as long as you go home, you will be cared for by your parents. However, Leng Changxi felt that her home was leaking.
Not wanting to touch on this topic, Leng Changxi changed the subject: "You have been planning for so long and you don't have any news?"
This question is not about caring about Zhao Yuan, but about herself. As Zhao Yuan said, only when he is strong can he give her better protection. For her, only when Zhao Yuan is strong can he avenge her.
