Chapter 165 The first year of Xiyuan
The snow is just beginning to clear, covered in silver.
Amid the sound of firecrackers all over the city, Kaifeng Prefecture ushered in the first New Year after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the air was filled with the smell of festiveness.
There were more people on the street, and everyone met and bowed happily.
The children rode on the shoulders of adults, and there were still groups of three or five rolling in the snow. They would not be beaten if they were caught by their parents, otherwise they would be beaten for a year.
A carriage was creaking and Chen Shou yawned repeatedly in the car. Seeing him like this, Li Lingyue remembered the madness of the two people last night. He bit his lips and looked flushed, and felt a little embarrassed. He simply held him in his arms and said, "Sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when I'm here."
Chen Shou nodded and lay directly on the chair in the car, pillowing on Li Lingyue's thighs. After a while, he made a slight snoring sound.
When the carriage arrived at the palace, the layers of palace gates drove one after another, and everyone recognized Chen Shou's carriage.
Soon, Zhang He whispered outside the window: "Sir, madam, we're here."
Li Lingyue pushed it lightly, and Chen Shou opened his eyes in a daze and said, "Here?"
Xue Shao next to him tied a cloak. Chen Shou and Li Lingyue lifted the curtain and got out of the car. Xue Shao looked out from the car window. Under the high palace wall, he looked at a corner of the eaves that occasionally poked out outside the wall. Under the blue sky, it seemed that the palace in the sky occasionally appeared.
Is this the palace... It turns out to be a grand style. I don’t know if it is the architecture or the special status here. Xue Shao always feels that it gives people a sense of pressure, making people sigh at his insignificance.
Chen Shou took Li Lingyue and stepped into the Eunuch Province. Xue Shao quickly followed, carrying a gift box in his hand.
When he entered, the two little eunuchs came up, clasped their fists with a smile and said, "Please pay tribute to the marquis, madam."
Chen Shou nodded and asked, "Everyone is healthy in the New Year, where is my godfather?"
"Where is inside, I know the Marquis is coming, so I waited early."
Chen Shou turned around and smiled with Li Lingyue and came in hand in hand. The hut was very neat? There was an Eight Immortals Table on the ground? Four chairs.
Miao De was sitting on a futon wrapped in a black fox fur? It was given to him by Chen Shou this year? Seeing them coming in, Miao De was about to stand up with a smile.
Chen Shou hurried forward? Holding him down, then he clasped his fists and said, "Godfather? Shou'er is greeting you with New Year."
Li Lingyue stood behind him? He bowed with a smile, and called out his adoptive father sweetly.
Miao De was even more happy and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, sit down quickly? Sit down quickly." Miao De has white hair? He is already very old. Last year, he lost three brothers of life and death, and he became much more haggard.
"Xiao Zhuozi, bring the candied fruit delivered to the imperial kitchen yesterday."
Chen Shou laughed and said, "Godfather looks good."
"No, I'll go with those three dead ghosts sooner or later? Yesterday, I dreamed of Yue Xiang, but I still looked so mean? Hehe."
Chen Shou sat on the chair and smiled and said, "I asked Doctor Liu to take the pulse of his godfather. He went back and said that his godfather was in good health, and I think he could live another hundred years old." After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and said, "Pick it up."
Xue Shao, who was standing behind the chair, stepped forward slowly? Put the gift box in his hand on the table? Untie the ribbon and reveal a brocade box.
"Godfather, this is Ugancai from Shaoxing. I bought it from Nantang."
Miao De was overjoyed. He was from the south. When he was a child, he escaped from the river because of a crime at home.
"It's hard for you to have this kind of heart." Miao De asked his eunuch to put it away quickly.
The room was a little breathable, and Chen Shou couldn't sit still. He held his hands in his arms and lingered slowly in the room for a while. Suddenly he stopped and turned around and asked, "Godfather, how is Your Majesty's recent situation?"
"How long has it been since you saw him?"
Chen Shou smiled and said, "He was uncomfortable when he saw me, so he rarely went to see the saint."
Miao De smiled and said, "Then don't worry. Your godfather has been in the palace for decades and has served the emperor for several generations. These things are simple, but the godfather will definitely help you take good care of Your Majesty and will not make any mistakes."
Chen Shou walked to the window, opened the window, breathed fresh air, looked at the eaves of the palace walls in the distance, and smiled, "Then I'll be in trouble."
"Stay here to have a meal?"
"No, I have to go to the summer palace."
Miao De smiled and said, "That's fine. Our family is old, with bad teeth and too soft food. You can't get used to it."
Miao De stood up and sent them out. Before leaving, he said to Li Lingyue: "Give birth to a big fat boy for Shou Ge'er."
"Okay!" Li Lingyue replied crisply.
"What a great girl." Looking at Luo Luo's generous and smiling Li Lingyue, Miao De also laughed.
After getting on the carriage, Chen Shou felt a little embarrassed and looked at Li Lingyue and said, "You really want to go?"
"Why don't you go? No matter what, that's my sister."
Chen Shou smiled and said, "It's okay to go. You can be jealous after you go back. You can't sprinkle the fire on me."
Li Lingyue snorted coldly and turned her head. It was obvious that she had already made this plan and was told by Chen Shou.
Chen Shou glanced at Xue Shao next to him, and the latter responded with an incomparable look.
"I just knew... Alas, Zhang He, go to the summer palace!" Chen Shou shouted helplessly, carefully venting his dissatisfaction.
In the summer palace, Li Lingfeng was lying on the soft collapse. At this time, she was already round and full of pregnancy.
Zhiqin was beside him, and his slender fingers gently tweaked the strings, playing some soothing music.
The curtain was opened, and the little maid Tuaner walked in and said, "Miss, the second lady and the marquis are here."
Li Lingfeng's eyes opened suddenly, and she was very nervous, "Come together?"
"Yes, we have arrived at the palace gate. The Marquis sent his guards to inform us in advance."
Li Lingfeng quickly sat upright and said, "Get me some clothes."
She sat in front of the dressing table, picked up a piece of red paper with her lips dyed, and pressed her lips.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Lingfeng suddenly wiped her lips again, and stopped combing her head, and lay on the couch without moving.
"Miss?" Zhiqi asked curiously, holding the clothes he brought, "Are you going to change your clothes?"
Li Lingfeng covered a thin quilt and said, "I won't wear it anymore. When we talk, you accidentally ventilate and said that I can't get up for a few days and can't get out of bed."
Zhiqi nodded, his eyes rolled, and he smiled and said, "The eldest lady is so smart, my maid is convinced."
Li Lingfeng was well maintained, and Chen Shou kept asking Dr. Liu to see him. He was in great health and had to go out for a walk every day. Zhiqi certainly knew that, and he understood the master's thoughts at once and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Okay, you little hoof, even you dare to make fun of me."
As he was talking, a cough came from outside, and he knew that it was Chen Shou coming.
