many worries

The next day is New Year's Eve.

Over the past few days, the Taiqing Palace has been cleaned up with the efforts of the two of them. The dilapidated paper lanterns under the eaves have been dyed red again. The color is very bright, adding to the lively atmosphere of the New Year.

Qiao Yu woke up so early in the morning, Yigulu got up from the bed, and when he ran outside, he couldn't help sighing.In the yard there is a big pagoda tree that has grown for more than two hundred years. The snow on the pagoda tree has all fallen and is piled up on the bluestone board, exposing dry branches, and it is covered with rime overnight, just like the jade tree The flowers are crystal clear and moving.Jing Yan stood under the locust tree, his eyebrows were like mountains, and they were lightly stained with a layer of white mist, his phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and the black cloak was trimmed with a layer of bright blue piping, reflecting his handsome profile, looming, as if hidden in the mountains In the cloud, he can't figure it out, and he has a maturity and handsomeness that doesn't look like a 15-year-old.

As soon as he saw Qiao Yu, he smiled, indifferently melting like ice and snow, and beckoned to the little one in the distance, "Come on slowly, the ground is slippery, don't worry."

During the Chinese New Year, even the most humble eunuchs and maids in other palaces have new clothes to wear and feel happy, but Taiqing Palace does not.

There was no excitement or anger here, so it should be neither dead nor alive, and it should be shown to Emperor Yuande what he wanted to see.

But now it is very different, because Jing Yan was originally alone, he entered the Taiqing Palace alone, cut off the connection with the world, and did not intend to be with others.But Qiao Yu came, and with boundless courage and strength, he rushed into the gate of the Taiqing Palace.

He is the light, Jing Yan's only and unique light on this long, endless road.

Qiao Yu smiled childishly, and his eyes were full of innocence. In fact, he has grown up a lot in the past half a year. He can put on a show outside to make others dare not bully him, but he is not at all in front of Jing Yan. No cover up, no cover up.

He stood on tiptoe, smiled and grabbed Jing Yan's neck, "His Royal Highness, I'm going out to get food early today, I hope I can get more. Then, when it gets dark, we can have New Year's Eve dinner, by the way, You have to post couplets before eating, and your Highness is not allowed to post them behind my back."

Jing Yan's eyes and brows were full of smiles, listening to Qiao Yu's childish words, he answered each sentence seriously.

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, she wrinkled her nose. The tip of her nose was red from the cold. She was very cute. Finally, she took Jing Yan's hand and patted her palm. "Then it's an agreement, and it can't be changed."

After saying this, Qiao Yu rushed out of the Taiqing Palace and walked all the way to the Imperial Dining Room.Today is different from usual, it is a happy day for the whole palace, and there is a family banquet in the Dabao Palace, all the concubines who have status have gone, there is no need to eat.And the rest are some lonely concubines, or people who are disgusted by Emperor Yuande and are completely inconspicuous. The imperial dining room doesn't want to see them. The spoiled dishes were distributed to them as a portion.

But Qiao Yu was a little different. Hui Quan also took extra care of him because of his satisfaction, and it was Chinese New Year, so he should have taken more, so he packed two big food boxes full of them, and Qiao Yu almost couldn't carry them.After receiving the food, Qiao Yu spoke a few words with Changle Anping, and then hurried back to the Taiqing Palace, reluctant to stay outside for a moment.

When he walked to the main road outside the door, a group of people came from a distance, the leader was Xin, he was very different from the kindness he had in the imperial dining room, there was no smile on his face, he looked very cold and alienated.Qiao Yu avoided the side, lowered her head, only saw Xin Xin make a gesture as she passed by him, and then hid in the evergreen bushes.

After a while, Yixin found an excuse and went outside to look for him. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she looked at Qiao Yu, smiled silently, and said slowly, "Well, I've grown taller, it seems Huiquan didn't treat me badly. you."

Qiao Yu turned her head and didn't look at him, as if she was making a fuss, but in fact her eyes were red, it's not easy for Xin Xin to see, for fear that he might be worried.Because it is very different from before, they spent too much time together at that time, but now they can only talk a few words if they hold each other by chance.

Yixin squatted down, touched Qiao Yu's head, her eyes were complicated, she had a lot to say, but she didn't say anything, she seemed to be the same as usual, she said a few ordinary words, and finally took out a few golden words from her cuffs. The loquat and a red envelope were all stuffed into Qiao Yu's hands, and he said in detail with full of expectation: "It is reasonable to say that the lucky money must be given to you after the meal, so it can be regarded as the lucky money, but we can only see this." On the one hand. Wait until next year, and you will be one year older. Don't talk about how smart you are, you should also be more discerning. Don't be fooled by others. If..."

He paused for a moment, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I am very good in the imperial study, and I am very popular. You don't have to worry about me as a child. This is the loquat in the south, and it is only when it is mature, sweet. It’s very, you can’t eat it here in the capital, it’s a few baskets sent over quickly, I got half a plate, only two are left for you, this thing was in the imperial study, don’t give it to others.”

Liang Changxi wanted to praise him, and he was really good at doing things, so he was highly valued by Emperor Yuande, and even such things could be given a plate to try.But Yixin doesn't have much interest in the desire of tongue and tongue, maybe there was in the past, but now it seems that she can't taste good or bad.After he got the loquat, he tasted half of it himself. It was probably delicious, so he buried the remaining half in the soil in front of his door. After thinking about it, he buried another one. He couldn't let Chen Sang eat it. What's left of him.

The next ones were distributed to the greedy little eunuchs under his command, and the remaining two were given to Qiao Yu.

Ying Xin came out to do business and couldn't stay long, so she said a few more words before Qiao Yu reluctantly said goodbye to him, and wanted to comfort him secretly, the guard was watching him from the sky, telling him not to be sad anymore.

Xin Xin said: "I know, I know."

Qiao Yu tucked the two loquats into his sleeves, and tidied them up properly. He couldn't see anything from the outside, so he came back with confidence, but when he passed by the new guard, he shivered and slouched. He rolled in through the small door, holding the food box left and right, panting, and rolled into Jing Yan's arms waiting in front of the door like a small ball.

Qiao Yu let go of his hand, and the food box fell into the snowdrift beside him. He was so anxious that he wanted to break free from Jing Yan's arms to see what happened to the food.

Jing Yan hugged him with one hand, hooked Qiao Yu's hand around his neck, put his chin on his shoulder, all the weight of his whole body was on the other's body, even his hair was entangled, his eyelashes touched, and even his breathing seemed to be They are all shared with each other, which is a very intimate gesture.

Qiao Yu just forgot what was going on with the food. He hugged Jing Yan's neck back and pressed his chest against him. He could feel Jing Yan's heart beating much faster than usual. He tried his best to gently stroke his back with a soft voice. Youtian, she asked him gently: "Ah Ci, what's wrong with you?"
