readx(); A few days passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was New Year's Eve, the twenty-fifth year of Tianwu.
Because Concubine Yun lived in Prince Chun's Mansion, Xuan Tianming organized his family to go to Prince Chun's Mansion to celebrate the New Year. But when it came to the whole family, it was just him and Feng Yuheng. At most, they each brought their attendants.
Bai Ze and the maid Wangchuan Huangquan. Originally, Feng Yuheng would have brought Xiangrong with her, but Xiangrong had moved to Prince Chun's Mansion before her, so she had no one to take her with her. Xuan Tianming also came last year
During the last morning court meeting, he proposed to let Feng Zirui go out of the palace to celebrate the New Year, but Emperor Tianwu refused. He forcefully kept Feng Zirui in the palace on the grounds that "I like that child very much."
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything about this. After all, she couldn't control many things. At least Emperor Tianwu had the final say in the Dashun Dynasty now. The emperor wanted to keep someone in the palace. Apart from stealing, what else could she do?
Who will bring him out? Fortunately, Xuan Tian Ming and Xuan Tian Hua have arranged for people to take care of her in the palace, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
A group of people got on the palace carriage and drove to Prince Chun's Mansion through the snow that fell all night. At that time, at the gate of Prince Chun's Mansion, the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi left the mansion in person and rushed here to pick up Xiangrong.
Celebrate the New Year in his mansion.
Feng Xiangrong stood in front of Prince Chun's Mansion. A maid held an umbrella for her and put on a pure white cloak with a furry collar and bonnet. Her little face looked calmer and fresher, and she was also vaguely mysterious.
What Tianhua looks like when he is dressed in white.
Xuan Tianyi looked displeased and frowned and said, "This color doesn't suit you. Why is this little girl wearing white? Is she dressed in filial piety?"
Xiangrong ignored his words and just said calmly: "Go back, I will not go to Prince Ping's Mansion to celebrate the New Year. You and I are just master and apprentice. I have never heard of the master going to his apprentice's house to celebrate the New Year, let alone
You are a prince, this is against the rules."
"Lao Qi is still a prince!" Xuan Tianyi pointed angrily at Prince Chun's Mansion and shouted: "Lao Qi is also a prince, what's the matter? It's in line with the rules for you to celebrate the New Year at his house?"
Xiangrong explained to him: "That's because the relationship between His Royal Highness Seventh and His Highness Ninth is relatively close, and the Ninth Princess and I are biological sisters. I stay here to wait for my sister to come to celebrate the New Year. You
If you don't believe it, just wait a little longer at the gate of this mansion, I think His Highness Ninth Prince and my second sister will be here soon."
"You said they also came here to celebrate the New Year?"
Of course, Xiangrong couldn't tell him because Concubine Yun was also there. After all, Concubine Yun's leaving the palace was considered a secret. Except for Prince Chun's Palace and Prince Yu, no one knew about it, and no one could tell it outside. She just
He said to Xuan Tianyi: "After all, they are all children raised by Concubine Yun, so it is natural for them to celebrate the New Year together."
"Hmph!" Xuan Tianyi snorted coldly, "Don't you mean that they are biological brothers? Yes, I don't have any biological brothers, so I deserve to spend the New Year alone in my house. I didn't expect that I would accompany you in Ji'an County
These days, it’s really inhumane for you to spend the entire New Year with me and not do anything.”
Xiangrong said: "Originally, I was going to celebrate the New Year with my second sister. Even if I didn't stay in Prince Chun's Mansion, I wouldn't be able to go to Prince Ping's Mansion. Your Highness, Fourth Highness, I told you as early as when we were in Ji'an County, master and apprentice are masters."
Disciple, I understand my own thoughts. You are very good, but since I have such thoughts, I should not give you any hope anymore. That is not something my conscience can bear."
"Do you really want to be with him?" Xuan Tianyi clearly revealed Xiangrong's inner emotions for the first time. He asked Xiangrong: "Do you know how many people in this world secretly like him? But he also sees
Who can he fall in love with? Does he seem to be looking for women in his life?"
Xiangrong's smile was a little sad, and she said: "I have never hidden anything from you. There is someone in my heart that I can't erase. This is my life. I can only admit it."
"But he doesn't like you at all!"
"That's his business." Xiangrong raised his head and looked at Xuan Tianyi, and said firmly, "whether he likes me or not, that's his business. I can only take care of myself. Your Highness, Fourth Highness, you
Come back!"
After she finished speaking, without staying any longer, she turned around and left with the maid beside her. Xuan Tianyi didn't stop him anymore, but subconsciously stroked his face and murmured to himself: "Does she think I'm too old? Follow me.
Compared to this little girl, I am really old!"
Xuan Tianyi was turned away like this, and kept watching Xiangrong go around the front yard and into the back yard. When he could no longer see him, he suddenly came up with an idea and quickly said to the boy next to him: "Let's stay here too."
Celebrate the New Year at Prince Chun’s Mansion! Lao Qi and I are also brothers, so why can’t we celebrate the New Year together? That’s it!” As he spoke, he was about to walk into the mansion, even one foot had already crossed the threshold, but he was
The steward of Prince Chun's Mansion stopped him.
The steward said to him: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, I'm sorry. Today, except for Prince Yu and Princess Yu, Prince Chun's Mansion will not receive any other visitors! Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Ah?" Xuan Tianyi didn't expect to be rejected so quickly, and he felt angry. He couldn't help but pointed in the direction where Xiangrong left just now and said: "What about the girl? She's not from Prince Chun's palace, so why bother?
Receive her?"
The housekeeper looked back and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, are you talking about Miss Feng San? You may have misunderstood. Miss Feng San is not a guest. She has been living in the house." In one sentence, just think about it.
Rong was attributed to someone from Prince Chun's palace, which made Xuan Tianyi feel angry again.
But what can he do if he is unhappy? As Xiangrong said, this is her own choice. Even this choice does not matter what the other party's attitude is, whether he likes her or not, she is just happy. This is really a priceless choice.
Buyers are happy!
He retracted his steps, took another deep look at Prince Chun's Mansion, then turned around and left without staying any longer. It was just that his leaving steps were a little heavy, with ten thousand unwillingnesses. But no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't bear the thought of his own heart.
After making a secret promise, it took me several years to accumulate the courage, as well as the persistent spirit of not hitting the wall and never looking back.
That night, Prince Chun's Mansion was very lively. Because of Concubine Yun's presence, the home was more like home, and the two brothers were more like two brothers. In addition, this year there was a new daughter-in-law, Feng Yuheng, and Concubine Yun.
Feng Xiangrong, the soon-to-be daughter-in-law, who was preparing in her heart, had a happy New Year's Eve dinner. Not only did she make dumplings and set off firecrackers, Xuan Tianhua also played the harp for everyone. However, when the sound of the harp just fell, one hand
Concubine Yun, who was holding the dumplings in one hand and the red wine Feng Yuheng took out, suddenly asked loudly: "Hua'er, tell me, do you like the third girl?"
This question made everyone feel a little embarrassed. Although the red wine tasted good, and even though it was mixed with soft drinks, it still had a lot of stamina, not to mention the vintage Lafite that Feng Yuheng took out from the space. Yun Fei came from
He didn't stop drinking from afternoon to evening, and he was already a little tipsy. Feng Yuheng was worried that Xuan Tianhua's answer would hurt Xiangrong's heart, so he quickly answered: "Xiangrong is so well-behaved and sensible.
We all like it." What she meant in her words was that liking means liking, but following up on the first level of feelings are two different things. She meant that Xuan Tianhua's Chinese New Year should not be too hurtful.
Xuan Tianhua didn't make people too embarrassed. He just stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "My brother and sister are right."
Xiangrong twisted the hem of her skirt with both hands. When she heard this answer, she felt relieved, but at the same time she was also a little disappointed. She was afraid of Xuan Tianhua's direct rejection, but she cherished Concubine Yun's sudden This question is because except for Concubine Yun, I am afraid that no one will ask such a question again, right? It is very likely that she will keep her thoughts silently in her heart for the rest of her life, and will never dare to tell him directly. She couldn't get an answer from him. This life may have been spent slowly in such hesitation. Fortunately, now that there is no Feng family, she no longer has the pressure and compulsion to get married. 8☆8☆(*)8☆ $
Xuan Tianhua's answer was very vague, but it was still a fool. Xuan Tianming persuaded Concubine Yun to drink again, and this was considered exposed. Concubine Yun looked at Xiangrong with a sigh and said: "I'm really I'm helping you, but you have to take the initiative yourself! Look at your second sister and Ming'er sitting so close, why are you so far away from Hua'er? Are you afraid that he will eat you?"
Xiangrong blushed and said quickly: "His Majesty Seventh is playing the piano."
At this time, Xuan Tianhua's piano had stopped playing, and he walked back to the banquet and sat down. There was indeed a free seat next to him. He took the initiative to greet Xiangrong and said, "Come and sit!"
Xiangrong felt excited for a while, blushed and walked over. Taking advantage of the slightly drunken energy, he sat down unceremoniously and moved the chair towards Xuan Tianhua, looking like he was righteous. It made Concubine Yun giggle.
On New Year's Eve, everyone tacitly chose not to mention Emperor Tianwu, so as not to arouse Concubine Yun's sadness during the New Year. However, after drinking for thirty years, Concubine Yun brought up the topic herself. She said: "Guess what the old guy is doing now?"
In the palace, a New Year's Eve banquet was also set up in the outer hall of Zhaohe Hall. There were only three masters at the banquet, namely Emperor Tianwu, Concubine Yuan Shu, and the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo. These three people sat around the table and raised their eyebrows frequently. After Tianwu drank one cup, Concubine Yuan Shu would twist her handkerchief in time to wipe away the remaining wine drops from the corner of his lips. People who don’t know would only sigh after seeing this scene and marvel at what a beautiful and harmonious family of three this is. Ah! But people who know, including the palace people who are waiting inside and outside the Zhaohe Palace, don’t say anything, but most of them feel a little emotional in their hearts. They just say that this year’s New Year’s Eve, Emperor Tianwu’s life was very different from before. Same.
Not only the palace people felt that it was very different, but even Emperor Tianwu himself felt a little strange. While drinking, he suddenly said: "This is the happiest New Year I have ever lived. With my wife and children by my side, it's like This is a long-cherished wish of mine that has been fulfilled for many years." As he spoke, he gently held Concubine Yuan Shu in his arms, and memories appeared on his face. He stopped talking, as if he was still thinking about something. It took a long time before he suddenly Ask: "How did I spend the past years? Why can't I remember it no matter how I think about it?"
