In the third year of the founding of the world, the atmosphere of the New Year in Chang'an City was very strong. The people finally ushered in a stable life and their enthusiasm for the New Year was particularly high.

On the day of the lunar calendar, the streets were bustling with the children gathered together to set off firecrackers. They held long bamboos in their hands and lit them with fire. The bamboos made crackling sounds when heated. People believe that this will remove evil spirits and bring good luck to the new year.

The Changle Palace was completely chaotic, with delicious wine and delicacies on the table, but no one took the chopsticks. The eunuchs and palace maids knelt all over the ground, the queen and noble people stood aside, Fan Taohua had a little helpless face, and Yang Suqing was completely at a loss.

The little emperor who has always been together is losing his temper.

Liu Yu sat next to the table full of dishes and cried loudly, crying and shouting: "If you don't eat, don't eat! I'm going to eat dumplings!"

"If you don't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, why is it called "New Year's Eve?"

"Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?"

"I haven't eaten dumplings for several years!"

"Why is it so difficult to eat dumplings?"

The origin of the matter is that the emperor suddenly went crazy and insisted on eating dumplings, but no one knew what dumplings were. The queen didn’t know, the nobles didn’t know, the eunuchs and the palace maids didn’t know, and no one in the palace knew.

The emperor personally demonstrated that he taught the chefs to chop meat and vegetables, mix them together, and added various seasonings. Finally, he made a delicious dumpling filling. However, when he was kneaded, he found that the flour was completely out of standard, the particle size was different, and it was very rough, so he could not make dumpling skin at all.

The emperor, who was originally excited, suddenly changed his face. He was only angry and cursed, but later he started crying. The more he cried, the more he cried, he became more and more powerful. He couldn't stop, which caught everyone off guard.

Although the emperor usually likes to joke, he has always been a kind of steady and mature beyond his age, and it has never happened to cry. No one expected that he suddenly became a childish temper during the Chinese New Year and could not coax anyone.

The queen coaxed him, "Come on, come and have your favorite roast lamb legs."

The emperor pushed her hand aside, don't! He ate this thing almost every day, and now he is a little tired of it.

Yang Guiren said carefully: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the cook put on the warm dining table? Don't you like to eat shabu pork the most?"

The emperor said in tears: "No peppers are not available, no taste!"

What is chili pepper? The dumplings have not yet figured out, and they have to have chili peppers again, which makes everyone even more confused.

Originally, the emperor should have hosted this family dinner. He was the head of the family. Only when he put the chopsticks first, the queen and the nobles could have dinner. After the three of them had dinner, the eunuchs and palace maids could have chopsticks. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu suddenly came like this, and after a long time of struggle, Fan Taohua and Yang Suqing were hungry, and hundreds of people in Changle Palace were hungry.

Fan Taohua's temper also rose, she sat down in anger and said to Yang Suqing: "Let him make trouble, let's eat! Why are you crazy about the New Year?"

But Yang Suqing looked at the emperor worriedly and whispered: "Sister, if you are hungry, eat first! I'm not hungry, wait a while before eating."

Fan Taohua had no choice. There were three people in the family, and two people didn’t eat. What was she going to eat alone?

She put the chopsticks heavily and said to Liu Yu: "My ancestor, what do you want?"

"I want to eat dumplings," Liu Yu suddenly stopped crying, picked up the chopsticks, and whispered: "You don't understand, just have a meal!"

Liu Yu didn't know why a small dumpling made him sad. Some distant memories suddenly surged into his heart, like a flood, breaking through the psychological dam he had built for a long time. Liu Yu suddenly felt lonely and helpless, and his heart was filled with fear.

The emperor's temper came and went quickly, and it would be fine if he agreed. Fan Taohua breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing him burying his head into the bowl and sweeping away all the rice in the wind, he felt relieved and began to focus on the food.

Only Yang Suqing looked worried and lost her usual cute and lively life. She ate her meal silently, raised her head from the edge of the bowl from time to time, and secretly glanced at the emperor who was eating and chewing.

After dinner, the sun was about to set. Fan Taohua was worried that Fan Chong would spend the New Year alone at home, so she took a leave with the emperor and went home to accompany his father. The emperor agreed. At this time, the palace of the Han Dynasty was relatively simple, and the emperor did not ban the two concubines. Not only Fan Taohua, but Yang Suqing also occasionally took leave and returned to the Yang family.

Yang Suqing's parents died early, and her uncle Yang Yin was on Tianshui's tenure and had no relatives in Chang'an, so she just stayed in the palace and happened to be a companion with Liu Yu.

The two of them sat opposite each other, and Yang Suqing looked for something from time to time, but Liu Yu was not very interested and didn't talk much.

Yang Suqing whispered: "Your Majesty, I think you have eaten a lot today."

Liu Yu touched his nose. This was his habitual movement when he was a little embarrassed. "I eat a lot, but I don't like you. I eat less than a chick."

Yang Suqing burst out laughing, and two dimples suddenly spun on both sides of her face, looking very cute. Liu Yu couldn't help but take a look.

Yang Suqing said: "My parents went there early. When I was a child, I was very envious whenever I saw other children holding their parents' hands. Every time I came to this time, I would find something to eat, eat more, and forget all these things. Every time I was during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, I was saddest. Others sat around the same place, talking and laughing, but I was the only one. Even if I were with my uncle, I always felt lonely. At this time, I ate hard, as if I had something delicious, and I forgot those unhappy things."

She looked up at the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, during the Chinese New Year... I miss home too, just eat something."

The emperor did not expect that Yang Suqing, who was usually a child, was so sensitive and considerate. A warm feeling rose to his heart. He reached out, grabbed her, and said, "In the past, whenever the Chinese New Year, grandma, oh, even grandma, grandma would make dumplings. There were only two of us at home. She was busy, so I followed her, waiting... The dumplings she made were so delicious!"

"Where is King Chengyang and King Hejian?" Yang Suqing asked.

"Oh, two brothers...they are with their parents," Liu Yu quickly changed the topic, "Su Qing, I will definitely grind out flour so that you can eat dumplings too!"

"That must be delicious," Yang Suqing replied, suddenly blushing for some reason, "Your Majesty is seventeen years old this year, and I am sixteen."

She buried her head deeply, "I'm grown up too!"

Liu Yu looked at her shy face and suddenly moved his heart, and a strange feeling rose from her abdomen and slowly spread throughout her body.

Yang Suqing didn't dare to look up and looked at the emperor. Even the back of her neck seemed to be dyed red.
