When Mu Mingtang heard the loud noise, he subconsciously avoided it, but in the next instant, his ears were covered. Xie Xuanchen's hand was covered with a slight warmth, behind his ear, all the sounds were filtered when they came, as if it also brought the temperature of his palm.
Mu Mingtang was surrounded by Xie Xuanchen's breath, stable and calm, his movements obviously looked loose, but they gave people an indestructible confidence. Mu Mingtang really felt relieved slowly, and he was no longer afraid to watch the performance of the acrobats.
Before the artist started to perform, the four of them were talking. At this moment, Mu Mingtang watched the performance with great interest. Xie Xuanchen also covered her ears. The two were talking and laughing, as if they had completely forgotten Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji.
Jiang Mingwei's words to fight back were already stuck in her mouth. At this moment, she didn't know what to do.
Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji are still in the cold war. The cold war was bad enough, but they had to watch the culprit flirt in front of them. Jiang Mingwei was in an extremely bad mood. Sure enough, when she met Mu Mingtang, it was not good. It was only the first day of the new year, and she was in a bad mood.
On New Year's Eve, it is reasonable to observe the New Year's Eve, but the court is different from the people. There will be a grand celebration on the first day of the morning tomorrow morning, which can not be neglected. Even if Baiguan didn't sleep, he had to go home to change clothes and prepare for the congratulations, so not long after the New Year, people came out of the palace one after another.
Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were the first to leave the palace, and the others wanted to accompany the emperor to have a good time, but Xie Xuanchen did not. Xie Xuanchen didn't care about the emperor's face at all, and left if he wanted to. Mu Mingtang was already sleepy, and it was time for him to go back to sleep. What wasted effort between him and these old men.
Xie Xuanchen took Mu Mingtang and swaggered away in the eyes of everyone with different emotions. As soon as he got in the car, Mu Mingtang couldn't control it and yawned one by one.
Xie Xuanchen looked distressed and said, "If you are sleepy, you can sleep with me for a while."
"No, it won't take long to go home, I can hold it." Mu Mingtang said indifferently. She really felt that this section of the road was nothing, but when the sleepiness came, she couldn't react in time. Mu Mingtang closed her eyes and slowly lost consciousness.
Seeing that Mu Mingtang, like a chicken pecking at rice, dozed off little by little, when the carriage turned, Mu Mingtang couldn't react and slammed into the carriage. Mu Mingtang was knocked awake, rubbed his head in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Xuanchen sighed, pulled her onto his lap, and said, "It's alright. I told you to sleep for a while, but don't listen."
Mu Mingtang originally planned to hold on, but after lying on Xie Xuanchen's legs, the height was just right, his legs were well-proportioned and powerful, and the pillow was very comfortable, so Mu Mingtang surrendered immediately.
If she doesn't sleep, she relies on it for a while. Mu Mingtang thought so when he closed his eyes.
As a result, she didn't know how long she had taken a nap. When Mu Mingtang woke up again, she found that the carriage had stopped. Mu Mingtang woke up and realized that she was still lying on Xie Xuanchen's lap, she quickly got up and asked, "Are we home?"
"Well." Xie Xuanchen's voice came from the top of his head. He was also closing his eyes and resting. When he saw Mu Mingtang woke up, he opened his eyes and said, "There are too many eyeliners outside, so I can't hold you down, so I can only let you go. Get some sleep."
Of course Mu Mingtang understands this. After all, Xie Xuanchen is still a "patient" who just blows away. Mu Mingtang slept very deeply this night, and his eyes were filled with water. She moved her waist slightly and complained in a low voice, "Why didn't you wake me up? Has it been a long time?"
Although Mu Mingtang complained, his voice was soft and soft just after waking up. Xie Xuanchen took care of the miscellaneous hair she slept out of, and said casually, "It won't be long."
Xie Xuanchen said that it didn't take long, but Mu Mingtang couldn't believe it. She hurriedly got out of the car, only to find that there were people standing outside, and she didn't know how long she waited.
Seeing Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang getting off the bus, many maids and servants immediately kowtowed: "Congratulations to the lord and princess in the New Year, good luck and good luck."
Today is New Year's Day, everyone in the palace will celebrate the new year for the master. As long as Mu Mingtang slept in it, the servants of the palace waited outside the carriage for a long time.
Mu Mingtang was very embarrassed, and gave Xie Xuanchen a secret look. The old god Xie Xuanchen was there, and he was used to being stared at. He raised his hand and said casually, "Exempt. Reward."
Everyone was delighted, and the congratulations were even more cheerful: "Thank you, Wangye Wangfei."
Mu Mingtang listened to the auspicious words all the way back to Yulintang. After entering the house, she was already tired and just wanted to go to bed quickly. Fortunately, the hot water was ready, and Mu Mingtang didn't have to wait any longer. After she took a bath and changed into pajamas, Xie Xuanchen went to take a bath.
Mu Mingtang yawned and sat on the bed, so sleepy that his eyes were red. She looked inside and felt that Xie Xuanchen would not be able to come out for a while, so she crept to the side of the box and took out something from the inside.
Mu Mingtang was about to quietly press things under Xie Xuanchen's pillow, and suddenly felt that hiding things like this was too hasty, and there was no fun in finding them at all. Mu Mingtang rummaged in the bedroom, and after turning around, he found that there were still many places to hide things on the bed.
Mu Mingtang went back to the bed. She was sitting on the bed looking for a place when suddenly there was a sound behind her and Xie Xuanchen came out.
Mu Mingtang was startled, and hurriedly shoved something under the pillow. She quickly turned around and found that Xie Xuanchen was walking in the direction of the screen, which she should not have seen.
Mu Mingtang immediately pretended to be okay and stood up. When he got up, he patted the pillow and stretched the quilt. The movements were very similar.
Xie Xuanchen pretended not to know that she was hiding something under the pillow, and did not ask in cooperation. Xie Xuanchen thought he was too considerate, but Mu Mingtang had a guilty conscience and had to hide it: "I was making the bed just now, and the new quilt was not very docile. I made it for a long time."
Xie Xuanchen looked at her and almost couldn't help but want to laugh: "Well."
Afraid that Xie Xuanchen would find out, Mu Mingtang quickly changed the subject: "Why are you so fast?"
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he found that Xie Xuanchen gave her a bad look. Mu Mingtang was stared inexplicably and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with this sentence?"
"No." Although Xie Xuanchen said no, the expression on his face was not good, and his eyes were not very kind.
Mu Mingtang doesn't know why, what's wrong? Is she just complimenting him on his quickness
At this time, the two of them had changed their bedclothes, and the maids in the room had all retired, and only the red candles were burning high, reflecting on the brand new quilt that had just been changed, and everywhere was red.
Both of them had just taken a shower, their clothes were thin, and their hair was half-dry. Xie Xuanchen put the lamp and candle away, and then went back to the bed. Mu Mingtang was already sleepy, leaning on the bed and yawning one by one, but still couldn't sleep. After Xie Xuanchen sat up, he stretched out his hand to the quilt naturally. At this time, he noticed that Mu Mingtang's eyes were swooning after him, looking at him with anticipation and restraint.
Xie Xuanchen changed his direction abruptly and went to get the pillow instead.
Not surprisingly, he saw a purse under the pillow.
Mu Mingtang said happily: "This is the lucky money I prepared for you! Surprise or not?"
"Well, surprise." Xie Xuanchen nodded in cooperation and picked up the red purse. When he picked it up, he was still thinking, shouldn't this die-hard really have some lucky money in it
If she really dares to give money... Xie Xuanchen thought about it and found that he couldn't do anything to Mu Mingtang either.
Xie Xuanchen, full of helplessness, untied the tether of his purse. When he saw what was inside, he slowly pulled it out, very surprised: "Did you make it up?"
What Xie Xuanchen was holding in his hand was a six-eared Ruyi knot, which was made of blue lines. The lines were flat and complex, and the bottom was decorated with jade beads, which was very different from the Ruyi knots on the market.
It looks like you made it yourself.
Mu Mingtang came over and said, "Yeah. Turn it over and take a look."
Xie Xuanchen turned it over according to the words, and found that the back of the Ruyi knot was actually woven with a silver thread, which was the word "chen" in the ancient seal.
Xie Xuanchen's heart seemed to be touched by something, a knot is not expensive, but such a delicate thing requires a lot of thought. Obviously, he has never seen Mu Mingtang make up something in the past month.
What's more, it has his name on it, which is obviously a unique gift that belongs to him in the whole world.
Seeing that Xie Xuanchen didn't speak, Mu Mingtang explained: "I made it up myself, because to write your name, the line is different from the ordinary Ruyi knot. Your name is taken from the stars, so I used the blue line, the word is After I identified the location, I wrapped silver wire around the blue line in that section, and then spelled it out."
Just listening to it gives a sense of how much patience and time it takes. Xie Xuanchen held a very delicate rope knot in his hand and whispered, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Seeing that Xie Xuanchen had been silent, Mu Mingtang was initially apprehensive, but when he heard that he liked it, he immediately smiled: "The stars are eternal, hidden and not declining. You should do the same, be safe and wish you a hundred years old."
Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang. At this moment, her long hair was loose, and she was sitting in the red tent with only a single coat, but she seriously told him that the stars are eternal, hidden and not fading.
The moon is cloudy and sunny, and the stars are sometimes invisible. But even if Beichen is obscure, it will never go out.
Xie Xuanchen had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He reached out and brushed Mu Mingtang's long half-dry hair, and when his hand slipped to his shoulder, he naturally turned around and took Mu Mingtang into his arms.
"it is good."
Mu Mingtang didn't expect him to come suddenly, and was hugged by Xie Xuanchen. Mu Mingtang was stunned, but fortunately, Xie Xuanchen took her by the shoulders and let go, as if it was just a matter of love, and it was revealed naturally.
Xie Xuanchen's behavior was too open and upright, which made Mu Mingtang feel embarrassed. She glanced at Xie Xuanchen quickly, and said, "Then I'm going to sleep?"
"Yeah." Xie Xuanchen nodded, put away the Ruyi knot with his own name, and said, "You go to bed first, and in less than an hour it will be Chao He, I'm going to prepare the court clothes, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you. ."
"Ah?" Mu Mingtang was surprised, "Doesn't that mean you couldn't sleep all night?"
Xie Xuanchen nodded: "Almost. But no one can sleep tonight. This is the first time I come back, let alone other people."
Mu Mingtang sincerely lamented that it turned out that the emperor is not so easy to be, and he is also an official. Usually, I have to be on duty at the court, so I have to take seven days off on Yuan Day, and I have to stay up all night to prepare for the big morning congratulations.
Mu Mingtang sighed and said, "Don't be too tired. If you are really sleepy, just close your eyes and rest for a while."
"I know." Xie Xuanchen nodded, touched Mu Mingtang's head, and said, "Go to sleep first, I'm leaving."
Mu Mingtang originally said that he was going to send him, but Xie Xuanchen said that her hair was still dry and she would not be allowed to come out. Mu Mingtang could only sit on the bed and watch Xie Xuanchen go out. Chao congratulations are the most important and solemn rituals of the year. All officials in Beijing have to dress up to attend. Beirong, Xixia, Gaoli, Jiaozhi, Dali and other countries will also send envoys to celebrate the new year of the Ye Dynasty.
After Xie Xuanchen left, Mu Mingtang slept alone on the bed, but he felt that he was not used to it. She woke up and slept all night, and finally fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn.
Mu Mingtang slept until it was bright, and she really fell asleep in the early morning. Although she slept for a long time, she was still tired when she woke up. Xie Xuanchen hadn't come back yet, so Mu Mingtang didn't need to see her in-laws, she slowly changed her clothes and dressed, and had breakfast without any hassle.
So it's better to stand on her own. If her in-laws are watching, how can she sleep until she wakes up naturally.
After Mu Mingtang had eaten, the maid came in to report: "Princess, the Song Palace has sent a generous gift, does the princess want to take a look?"
"Song Mansion?" Mu Mingtang responded, "Prime Minister Song?"
"Yes."
Mu Mingtang could probably guess that Prime Minister Song was apologizing for Song Wulang, and Mu Mingtang still had some expectations. She said, "Bring the gift list here."
In the twelfth lunar month, Song Wulang didn't know Xie Xuanchen's identity, and he had a dispute with Xie Xuanchen in the street, and his words were quite disrespectful. If other clans are okay to say, but this person is Xie Xuanchen, the emperor did not dare to show his face, and he was offended by Song Wulang.
Prime Minister Song was so angry that he whipped Song Wulang with a cane whip on the spot. Mrs. Song and her daughter-in-law tried to persuade him to persuade Prime Minister Song to stop. I heard that Song Wulang is now copying his family motto in the ancestral hall.
However, no matter how angry he was, his son was always born by himself, and Prime Minister Song always had to clean up the basket his son stabbed. Prime Minister Song did not dare to come to the door directly, and he was afraid that the emperor would think too much when he brought gifts.
Since ancient times, the monarch has been suspicious. As the prime minister of the dynasty, the prime minister of Song gave generous gifts to the son of the late emperor during the New Year's festival, and it was passed on to the emperor's ears, and he was not sure what that person would think.
So Prime Minister Song never dared to move, until he crossed the road in front of the emperor at the New Year's Eve banquet yesterday, and only today did he dare to ask his family to send an apology. Mu Mingtang took the Song Mansion's gift list and browsed through it roughly, satisfied.
Sure enough, all the officials in the Ye Dynasty were very rich. When she was in the Jiang family, she felt that Jiang Honghao's family was quite rich. At that time, Jiang Honghao was no more than the deputy envoy of the Third Division, and Song Zai had been a leader of the court for many years. Naturally, the things in his hand were completely incomparable to the Jiang family.
It is a good sign to make a fortune on the first day of the new year. Mu Mingtang put down the gift list and said, "I see, put things in the library, and take this list to register."
The maid took the order and left. In addition to the generous apology, Mrs. Song also sent a handwritten letter to the effect of making amends for her son. Mu Mingtang took the pen and simply replied a letter to Mrs. Song.
In addition to the Song family, the concierge of the palace also received many New Year's greetings. New Year's greetings are also part of the etiquette. It is very popular to give New Year's posts to each other. After all, sending people to post is much more convenient than visiting the door in person.
In particular, Xie Xuanchen had a special status, and no one dared to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, but no one dared to leave the New Year's post. When the maid brought over some of the posts, Mu Mingtang was shocked.
This is just a small wave of the owner with a name and a surname, and there are still several piles of the rest.
In addition to the New Year's greetings, the concierge also has a backlog of boxing rituals from various mansions. Those who can exchange boxing gifts are already famous and close people. Mu Mingtang asked people to take a look at the boxing list and reply as appropriate.
She was reading the post and the gift list, and suddenly it was said that the lord was back. Mu Mingtang stood up and only took two steps, when he saw Xie Xuanchen lift the curtain and enter.
The Han family has always regarded red as the most precious thing. On occasions like the first day of the Great Court, everyone from the emperor to the courtiers is full of red. Xie Xuanchen is wearing a red robe today. The red color is extremely attractive. If you wear it correctly, it looks like a peach and plum. But Xie Xuanchen looked very bright in crimson, and Qing Jun was full of heroic spirit, and he felt a little gorgeous and unstoppable.
Mu Mingtang clearly felt that after Xie Xuanchen came in, half of the room was illuminated by him.
Xie Xuanchen is used to wearing purple clothes, he doesn't think it's strange, and he won't pay attention to how eye-catching his clothes are. On the contrary, after seeing Mu Mingtang, Xie Xuanchen complained with a bit of grievance: "I'm finally back. I didn't say anything when I waited at Xuandemen early in the morning. After the court meeting, the emperor gave a banquet and insisted on inviting Beirong and envoys from other countries. Enjoy singing and dancing and zaju. After tossing around all morning, I can only come back now.”
Xie Xuanchen hadn't slept all night, and was waiting outside Xuande's gate early this morning. After such a tossing, it is simply physical labor. Older and weaker courtiers couldn't hold on at all, but even so, both inside and outside the civil and military were proud to be able to participate in the Yuanri Dynasty.
However, the tone of Xie Xuanchen's disgust was natural at this moment, and Mu Mingtang didn't feel that there was anything wrong after listening to it. Mu Mingtang accompanied him to change clothes, and then the two sat on the Luohan bed. Mu Mingtang said: "You didn't sleep last night, and you have been tired for so long today. It's really hard. I have already ordered lunch, you eat first, Then go to sleep for a while."
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he asked, "Are you sleepy?"
It's okay if she didn't ask. When she asked, Xie Xuanchen took her shoulders smoothly and put her forehead on her neck: "Sleepy."
"Eat first, and then you can sleep in peace."
Although the emperor gave a banquet, it was basically not eaten on such occasions. Xie Xuanchen still closed his eyes, leaned on Mu Mingtang's shoulder with peace of mind, and said, "I've been boiled for too long and have a headache. You can sleep with me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
Xie Xuanchen's tone couldn't be more natural, and the people who served around were very confused after Xie Xuanchen entered the door. When they heard this sentence, their eyes would fall.
Although this kind of thinking is very outrageous, but... lord, are you acting like a spoiled child
