Xiao Mubai has already walked to Xia Chu's side, and Xiao Muhong is also holding Concubine Qi with one hand and pointing to the sky with the other.
The fuses were ignited one by one, and the fire spread until golden threads shot straight into the sky. In the early morning, bright flames spurted out, and dazzling flowers bloomed.
Among them is a plum blossom-shaped firework, which is the most realistic...
Xiao Mubai looked at Xia Chu's face, fascinated by the light that slid across her eyelashes like water waves. Occasionally, when she blinked her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if the wings of a dragonfly were vibrating on his chest. Stirring his heartbeat.
She looked at the fireworks, and he looked at her.
Xia Chu looked greedily at the gorgeous color in the sky and asked casually: "Do you have any expectations for the New Year?"
Xiao Mubai kept looking at her deeply, and another bunch of fireworks rushed into the sky at the same moment, and his words were lost in the huge explosion.
After the bursts of fireworks ended, Xia Chu turned his head persistently and continued to ask what he had just said.
Xiao Mubai smiled slightly, more brilliant than fireworks.
He covered Xia Chu's ears and leaned closer: "I just hope that this day will last forever."
The breath lingered in Xia Chu's ears along her fingers, warm and itchy, teasing her heart and making it beat wildly.
"Would such a big movement be too public?" Xia Chu's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were looking forward, and he casually changed the subject.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't returned to the palace yet, and Concubine Li has already rested. It doesn't matter." Seeing her head lower and lower, Xiao Mubai smiled fondly, and then called out again: "Ah Chu."
"Huh?" Xia Chu suddenly looked up and found that Concubine Qi and Xiao Muhong had their heads together and were looking at them, covering their lips and smiling.
"Is there something you should tell me?" Xiao Mubai raised his eyebrows.
"Huh?" Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was asking for love words, so he answered smoothly: "Is this the day every year?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she received a sharp tap on her forehead.
Xiao Mubai was a little dumbfounded: "About my father's situation, please hurry up and tell me, I'm going to take Muhong out of the palace."
Xia Chu covered her forehead and originally wanted to hurt him, but after hearing these words, she slapped her forehead, exactly where he had just shivered, and she grimaced in pain.
With an embarrassed look on her face, she quickly told him about the emperor's situation.
After Xia Chu finished speaking, he originally wanted to ask about Yue Feng Wan and Lan Yu Ying. Seeing the sky was getting brighter, he thought about it first and then urged them to leave.
After sending away the two brothers and sisters, Xia Chu also resigned from Concubine Qi.
Fortunately, today the management is lax, and those who are not on duty are going around trying to please the palace.
Therefore, Xia Chu's return from Yongxin Palace did not attract anyone's attention.
She was tired all night and finally returned to the house. She opened the door and found that the table was full of dishes. When she opened the lid of the bowl, the food inside was still steaming.
Only Xiao Zimu, who can pinch it, knows when she is on duty.
Although Xia Chu had no appetite, he didn't want to waste his efforts, so he filled a bowl of hot soup and drank it.
With hot food in my stomach, my mind began to feel drowsy. I took advantage of the fatigue and quickly got into the bed. Ignoring the noisy firecrackers outside, I just fell asleep.
It was almost dusk when she got up, so she simply took the food on the table and heated it up. The palace maids had a room where they could set up a small stove for themselves. When Xia Chu squeezed in, she heard them talking animatedly. .
She joined in while the dish was being heated.
A group of women chatted all over the place. After listening for a long time, she realized that Xiao Yanjun, as the prince, had gone to the first place to pay incense on behalf of the emperor. For this purpose, a large honor guard was organized. The honor guard held fragrant flowers and candles and lined the streets to welcome him. lively.
After Xiao Yanjun arrived at Tianyan Temple, he specially changed the prayer flags and beads studded with pearls in front of the Buddha. He also offered gold scriptures, sunken sandalwood fish, and even the futon was embroidered with thirty-six petals with gold thread. Lotus pattern.
After that, he burned incense and prayed, but strangely, the incense he took could not be lit.
This rare thing spread immediately, because the honor guard was already making a fuss, and now the whole city was full of trouble, saying that he was unworthy of his virtue and that God would not accept it.
In the end, Abbot Lüda lit three sticks of incense and handed them to him, but when he took them and was about to offer them, the incense burned itself out in his hands, and the people watching made an uproar.
At this time, even Shi Fuqiu could not suppress these people, and Tianyan Temple caused a huge commotion.
The maids in the palace all smacked their lips and sighed: "His Royal Highness is so good-looking and talented. Why is he so unpopular with God?"
Xia Chu sneered: "It's up to you."
A palace maid next to her didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words, and echoed: "Isn't that right? I'm still kneeling for Yan Temple that day."
Xia Chu looked startled: "You haven't returned to the palace yet?"
A group of palace maids nodded one after another. Xia Chu asked again and found out that Xiao Yanjun was indeed smart. Amid the people's doubts about him, he just turned the blame on the emperor.
He said that the most important purpose of this trip was to seek the emperor's health. Since the incense did not burn, he knelt down and fasted for three days to pray for the emperor.
These words were spoken with great emotion, and with tears welling up in that handsome face, the gossip instantly subsided a lot...
Xia Chu was really disgusted by what he said. The hot dishes suddenly lost their aroma. She simply took a few bites and gave the remaining untouched portions to the maids. They thanked them happily. Zhong withdrew.
When Xia Chu rushed to Qingxin Palace, Eunuch Li saw her coming and waved to the maid next to the emperor.
Xia Chu frowned and went over, only to hear Eunuch Li say to the palace maid: "Yan Lan, you are delicate and expensive, so don't do such rough work as serving the emperor. You can switch with her, she has a lot of leisure time." be lazy."
"Eunuch Li is so considerate." Yan Lan bowed. She had long since wanted to do this dirty and tiring job.
If the emperor had been sober in the past, she would still be able to sell well.
But now she was in a daze, helping him tie and wash his hair, feed and water him every day, which was not a thankless task.
Eunuch Li whispered in her ear: "If the emperor wakes up later, it will still be your name Yanlan who is reported."
Yan Lan's eyes lit up: "On my side, I will also give more kind words to my father-in-law."
After the two exchanged a few words, Xia Chu was sent to the imperial court to serve him closely. As she walked into the palace, she secretly gave Eunuch Li a thumbs up.
In this way, she could secretly apply medicine to the emperor every night, and she expected to wake up in a few days.
Xia Chu happily walked to the dragon bed and found that the young eunuch next to him had also been replaced by a small yuanzi.
"You were also replaced?" Xia Chu walked to him silently.
"The original one heard that I was here to help him wipe the emperor's body, peeing and pooping, and his teeth almost fell out when he smiled. Before leaving, he stuffed me with two taels of broken silver." Xiao Yuanzi said 'poof' at this point. : "I want his little bit of money?"
Xia Chu also picked up two taels of broken silver and threw it into his arms. Seeing that his face turned blue, he tried his best to hold back his laughter: "I won't tease you anymore. I'm asking for luck on the first day of the new year. I know you are sincere and loyal. The emperor wakes you up." It’s a great achievement to remember.”
Xiao Yuanzi originally wanted to smash the two taels of broken silver back, but after hearing what she said, he silently picked it up again. He just looked at the emperor who was lying motionless on the couch and didn't look good, and he felt a wave of sadness in his heart. Worry: "You said the emperor, can he really still wake up?"
"Just wait until you get promoted and make a fortune..." Xia Chu was in high spirits, her eyes sparkling, but she felt sorry for Xiao Yuanzi in her heart.
It's a pity that I can't marry my wife...
