Yun Shang intentionally asked Ning Qian to rest for a few more days, but Ning Qian seemed unable to rest, and entered the palace the next day.
The snow in the yard hadn't melted yet, Yunshang saw Ning Qian coming in from the window, and quickly ordered Qianzhuo: "Go, go and help Mrs. Wang, the yard is a bit slippery, don't let her fall down."
"..." Ning Qian raised her head and looked towards Yun Shang, with a helpless smile on her face: "Empress, I heard you."
"If you hear it, you can hear it. It has just snowed, and the snow hasn't melted yet, and the ground is still wet. What are you doing here?"
Ning Qian lowered her eyes and smiled: "My wife hasn't come here yet, and the empress is driving me away?"
Yun Chang also smiled, watching Ning Qian enter the main hall and then be invited into the inner hall.
"How is it? Can the body recover?"
Ning Qian nodded: "It's okay, but after all, I'm still old. I feel that when I gave birth to Yaya, I didn't feel much, and I was alive and kicking after confinement."
"But it's not enough to have this child. Even now, I still feel tired when I go far."
"Then you are still tossing around?"
Ning Qian smiled helplessly: "I don't have anything to do in the mansion. I haven't held a child since I returned to Jincheng yesterday."
Yun Chang couldn't help laughing out loud: "Wang Jinhuan?"
"It's not him." Ning Qian pursed her lips: "If it's him, just send it away, it's Yaya."
Ning Qian supported her forehead: "I took her brother back and saw her, and I couldn't let go of it. I stayed by his bedside, played with my brother when I woke up, and slept with my brother when I was sleepy. It's just..."
Yun Chang smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It's good, now Yaya loves my younger brother, and when my younger brother grows up, he can protect Yaya."
The two were chatting and laughing, and Ning Qian saw that the palace people outside were already changing the palace lanterns under the eaves of the corridor, and replaced the palace lanterns with festive red lanterns, with a Chinese character of spring written on the red lanterns.
"Before you know it, in the blink of an eye, it will be Chinese New Year again."
Yun Shang was also watching, and nodded lightly when she heard the words: "It feels like since we got married, especially after having a child, the time seems to be getting faster and faster. Only during the Chinese New Year every year, you will be surprised, and you will be surprised again. Another year has passed, another year has passed.”
"yes."
Ning Qian smiled: "Time does not hold people back. When I went to the palace, I met His Highness the Crown Prince in the Imperial Garden."
"I almost didn't recognize it at first, and it felt like I had grown up a lot all of a sudden."
Yun Chang lowered her eyes and smiled: "Yeah, I grew up in a blink of an eye."
The new year is coming, and the palace needs to be cleaned up inside and out, and then the curtains and window grilles will be pasted up. In a blink of an eye, the palace will be decorated with lanterns and festoons, ready to welcome the new year.
The palace banquet will still be held. This year's palace banquet is almost the most peaceful one among the palace banquets that Yunshang has participated in for so many years. It is so calm that she is almost not used to it.
After the palace banquet, Yunshang and Luo Qingyan took Chengye back to Weiyang Palace to watch the new year. The palace was filled with joy and laughter, and it was the time of the new year.
Yun Chang raised her hand and was caught, and looked at Luo Qingyan with a smile, with a smile on her face: "In the new year, please give me your advice."
"I also ask the empress to give me more advice."
The two clinked glasses and drank.
Chengye was already asleep, Luo Qingyan carried Chengye to the bed in the side hall and put him down, and when he returned to the main hall, he saw that Yunshang had changed into light clothes.
Luo Qingyan didn't make a sound, and turned around to fetch a fox fur for Yunshang: "The night wind is strong, and it's cold to drive at night, so wear more."
Yun Chang smiled and let him put on the fox fur for herself, then smiled and said, "I'll be back in ten days at most."
"It doesn't matter. You have to hurry on the way. If you don't rush back, you can come back slowly. The journey is too hard and hurts your body."
"good."
Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang's attire, nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Have you brought enough money?"
"Enough." Yun Shang laughed: "It doesn't take much money, and there are our hidden stakes along the way. If you really run out of money, just ask the hidden stakes to send it, and it's not troublesome."
"Besides, aren't there so many hidden guards? They all carry spares. They pack things up. I often travel far away. They have rich experience, and everything that needs to be packed has been packed properly. Everything is fine. No, don't worry."
"Okay." Luo Qingyan thought for a while, and took off his jade pendant from his waist: "You take this with you. If you encounter any special circumstances, you can take this to find the local officials. The city guards of the prefecture can do it." .”
"Isn't it useful?"
Luo Qingyan doesn't care if it's useful or not: "It's always good to be prepared."
Yun Chang was persuaded, chuckled, and nodded: "Okay, be prepared, be prepared."
When everything was ready, Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at Luo Qingyan, Luo Qingyan was silent for a while, then reached out and hugged Yun Chang: "Go early and come back early, safe journey."
"good."
After Yun Chang finished answering, she glanced at Luo Qingyan again, and left with her bag.
Luo Qingyan stood in the hall, silent.
Liu Wen'an came in from the door and stood aside. Seeing Luo Qingyan standing there without moving for a long time, he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty won't sleep?"
Luo Qingyan pursed his lips, and sat down on the soft couch that Cai Yunshang had sat on just now: "Today is Chinese New Year, and it's not yet dawn."
Yun Chang's body temperature still lingered on the soft couch, and the light and faint fragrance of Yun Chang's body was still lingering on the tip of her nose.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to look like this. The empress is just going to see Prince Xian off. When Prince Xian goes out to sea, the empress will come back. She won't just run away with Prince Xian."
As soon as Liu Wen'an finished speaking, Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and gouged out.
"..." Only then did Liu Wen'an realize that he had said something wrong, he quickly poohed twice, raised his hand and patted his own mouth: "Look at this mouth of this old slave, this old slave has said something wrong, the empress loves it the most." The person in charge is Your Majesty, and His Highness the Crown Prince is still here, rest assured Your Majesty, the Empress will definitely be back soon."
Luo Qingyan hummed, leaned on the soft couch and looked at the beam above his head, without speaking.
Liu Wen'an breathed a sigh of relief, and said after a long while: "This year is the most comfortable year. In previous years, although the country of Xia was considered prosperous and the people were strong, there were still chaos at the border. This year, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Luo replied lightly: "In this new year, the most important thing for the Xia Kingdom is to recuperate and rehabilitate, to raise back what was consumed by the Wu people and the Yelang people before, and after that, the tax can be gradually reduced. It is the best thing to let the economy of the Xia Kingdom develop rapidly for a few years, so that the world will be prosperous and undisputed."
Luo Qingyan tapped his finger on the armrest lightly: "Every year is chaotic and tired, let me live in peace for a few years. Accompany the queen, teach the prince..."
