Chapter 869 The same New Years do different things
After he came out, he waited for a while. Xiyi and Li Shaer came out surrounded by their servants and met him.
As soon as the two of them saw him, they immediately bent down and said: "I congratulate the official army for their great victory in Annan and for capturing the king of Annan alive." During the banquet, the servants walking back and forth on both sides had already spread the matter to the female family members.
side.
Yunxi agreed with a smile.
Afterwards, they returned to the inner courtyard of the palace together, playing leaf games as in previous years, chatting casually, and watching the New Year's Eve.
But this year, the three of them are not very interested. Both Xiyi and Li Shaer have children. In previous years, they spent time with their children during the Chinese New Year, but this year there were only three of them. They couldn't help but think of their time in the capital.
The child has no energy to do anything.
Even Yunxi couldn't help but think: "I wonder how Wenyuan and the others are doing in the capital."
…
…
"Min'er, Yuan'er, Qi'er, Yin'er, come here quickly, let's go back to Kunning Palace." Xiyao, who had just hosted the clan banquet and was very tired, called to her and her sister's children.
Although Yunxi is not in the capital this year, and he has already sent a letter to entertain the tributary princes in Guangzhou, there are still many princes, princes, and princes in the capital, all of whom are underage and studying in the royal academy. It is not appropriate for these people to leave them aside during the New Year.
Okay, so Xiyao still held a clan banquet after thinking about it.
She first took Wen Yuan to the men's table to say a few words to announce the start of the banquet, and then returned to the women's table to host it. However, she had to ask about things at the men's table from time to time, which was very laborious and laborious.
"Mom, aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with eldest brother and the others this year?" They all came over, and Wen Yuan asked when he saw Bao Qin leading Wen Yao towards his palace.
"Your father is not here this year, so let each of them celebrate the New Year with their own mother." Xiyao replied casually.
"Mom, when will dad come back? He has been away from home for almost four months. My daughter has not seen her dad for four months. She misses him so much." Min'er heard Xiyao mention Yunxi and couldn't help but
He asked with an aggrieved look.
"Your father will be back soon. Wait a few more days, and you can see your father in a few more days." Xiyao immediately comforted her.
"But since November, Mom has said that Dad will be back soon, but he hasn't come back yet. Has Dad forgotten me?" Min'er lowered her head and said in a low tone.
"How is this possible? This morning you also read your father's letter to congratulate you on the New Year. These days, there is a letter for you every two or three days. He has definitely not forgotten Min'er." Xiyao added.
"Then why doesn't dad come back?" Min'er asked again.
"He has very important things to deal with. These things cannot be dealt with in the capital yet, so he can only stay there." Xiyao explained hurriedly.
"But this is the Chinese New Year. I remember that my father also left Beijing for a long time three years ago, but he also came back before the Chinese New Year." Min'er said.
"I miss dad too." Wen Yuan and Wen Qi also said.
Xiyao could only continue to find words to comfort them.
This kind of thing has happened many times in these days. In previous years, Yunxi would spend a lot of time with them during the New Year. This year, he was not around, which made the older children very uncomfortable. They had to express their feelings for Yunxi every day.
Feelings of longing.
In fact, Xiyao herself misses Yunxi very much. They have a very good relationship as husband and wife, and Yunxi often rests in Kunning Palace on weekdays. It is very strange not to see each other for such a long time.
And without Yunxi around, she seemed to have less support, especially when news suddenly came from Guangzhou in November that he was in fear of his life. When Xiyao saw this memorial, she felt that the sky was about to fall. Wen
Yuan was only five years old. If Yunxi died suddenly, what would she do in the future?
Fortunately, news later came from Guangzhou that Yunxi was fine. Xiyao cried with joy when she saw the memorial, and cried while holding Wenyuan, who knew nothing. She also generously rewarded every temple and Taoist temple near the capital with a gift.
Ten thousand taels of silver, because she worshiped at every temple and Taoist temple, hoping that Yunxi would be safe and sound.
When they finally returned to Kunning Palace, they stopped talking. Xiyao was so tired that she sat down on the chair and didn't even want to move a finger. She ordered Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, what are you bringing with you?"
Let’s play with the kids for a while, and I’ll rest here for half an hour. After half an hour, you must come over and wake me up.”
Zhiyi agreed, but did not step back. Instead, he asked: "My Lady, can I bring Princess Guangling into the palace?"
Xiyao was stunned for a moment and said: "Since His Majesty has brought Siqi here in previous years, you should send someone to pick her up immediately."
Zhiyi agreed, stepped back and gave instructions.
Half an hour later, Siqi was picked up from Liang Guogong's mansion. At this time, Xiyao had also been awakened by the palace maid, and took Siqi to the room where Min'er and the others were playing, and watched them play together.
After another half an hour, it was already midnight. Xiyao led them out of the palace, gave each of them a few fireworks, and lit a dozen whips with fire sticks. Many eunuchs and maids also set off firecrackers.
For a time, there were constant noises in the palace, fireworks were flying in the air, and it was very lively.
Xiyao also said to Min'er and others: "Hurry up and make a wish silently. Wishes made during the New Year are most effective."
Everyone immediately lowered their heads and thought in their hearts: 'Let dad come back quickly.'
…
…
On the same night, outside Yi'an City, which was also very lively, there was a person who did not join in the bustle. Instead, he carried a package alone and walked to a place where he was willing to camp.
This place is very quiet. There seem to be countless things standing on the ground, pointing straight towards the sky. From time to time, you can see things glowing with green light. This is where the Ming army led by He Rong buried their fallen soldiers.
Most people would be scared out of their wits if they came here alone in broad daylight, not to mention at night, but this man showed no fear at all. He walked straight in and stopped in front of a tombstone. On the tombstone was written a line of large characters: 'Fuso Warriors.
The Tomb of Nanmu Zhengcheng'.
This person was the one who came to pay homage to Kusunoki Masashige in private. I saw him sitting down in front of the tombstone, taking out a plate of fruit, a roast chicken, a snack, and a jug of good wine from the package.
and a human head.
I first carefully arranged the fruits and other things neatly, then placed the head with the face in front of the tombstone, uncorked the wine bottle, and poured the white wine near the tombstone.
"Zhengcheng, I have fulfilled half of my original promise. I will chop off the head of General Annan who led the troops that day and use it as a memorial to you!"
"I don't know if you have been reincarnated. If you have not yet been reincarnated and meet the living soul of this general, you can kill him again and chop off his soul's head to avenge yourself. I'm afraid you don't know this, so I'm here to remind you.
