The Lantern Festival: I seem to be superfluous.
Characters: Yao Yanyan, Your Majesty, Lantern Festival.
Event: Some time after the twins were born, Yao Yanyan and His Majesty felt that they had been busy taking care of the younger son and daughter recently, and some had neglected the older son. Therefore, I specially set aside one afternoon and planned to take only the small Yuanxiao to play.
It has entered winter, and the earth dragon is burning.
The Yong'an Palace is warm and mellow, and it’s too hot to wear one more piece of clothing.
The baby dragon and phoenix have already fallen asleep in the side hall at this moment. Yao Yanyan and her majesty feel deeply that they have overlooked the eldest son recently, so they plan to take the eldest son to spend an afternoon in Yongan Palace. After all, it’s not cold outside. Suitable for traveling.
When Yuanxiao learned that his father and mother had specially spared an afternoon to accompany him during his busy schedule, I was very touched. Although he was only four years old, as a prince, under the influence of people around him, he already understood his shoulders. Therefore, after being moved, Xiao Yuanxiao said with a stern face, "Father and mother, don’t have to worry about your son. The son learns from the master every day, and the son does not feel lonely."
Yao Yanyan was very touched by these words, and she said to Zhu Qiyu with tears in her eyes: "Look, your majesty, our Lantern Festival is more sensible, and it is more distressing."
His Majesty's eyes were also a little hot. He didn't expect Xiao Yuanxiao, who was only four years old, to be so sensible. When he and Yan Yan were eighteen, they only thought about playing!
Yao Yanyan also had an idea with her Majesty at the moment. She deeply felt that she was not a qualified mother. Seeing Xiao Yuanxiao wearing a white gold-patterned gown standing in front of them obediently, Yao Yanyan pulled her Majesty and said to him: "Your Majesty, although Yuanxiao has always been sensible, but he is a four-year-old baby. , You can’t just forget that he is still a kid who needs our love, just because he is sensible!"
His Majesty felt the same way. The more sensible the little Yuanxiao, the more distressed he was. Why should such a small child study with the master all day? Apart from learning, the most important thing for children is to play!
So the two squatted in front of Xiaoyuanxiao.
Yao Yanyan said to Xiao Yuanxiao: "It's cold, we won't go out, but my mother and your father want to take you to play in Yongan Palace for a long time. You don't have to think about reading and reading for a long time. You only need to follow your parents. Just play, not happy?"
Little Lantern Festival is still too young, even if he wants to tighten his face and make Taishan collapse in front of him, his complexion is unchanged, and his body is placed in front of him and stays still, but his suddenly shining eyes have betrayed him.
The couple knew at first glance that the child was duplicity and said that they didn't want them to play with them. In fact, they still wanted it very much! So the two picked up the Lantern Festival and put it on a small cart that had been prepared a long time ago.
This small cart is like a big box with wheels and handles. Xiao Yuanxiao sits in it, and it hurts to look at the small soft one.
Yao Yanyan grabbed a soft pillow in one hand and stuffed it around the front and back of the little Lantern Festival, allowing the little Lantern Festival to hold on to both sides.
The couple grabbed a handlebar and said in unison: "Sit firmly!" Then they pushed the car forward.
The speed of the two was relatively slow at first, and when Xiao Yuanxiao got used to it, they began to accelerate very tacitly.
The lobby of Yong'an Palace is very large, and after the maids push the tables and chairs aside, it becomes even more empty.
The two pushed the car with a small Yuanxiao sitting in the car. At first, Xiao Yuanxiao didn’t realize the fun, but when he felt the wind pass by him quickly, and when he realized that he was sitting in the car and passing from one end of the palace to the other in an instant, his eyes gradually became excited. At the end, he was still giggling amidst the shouts of his parents.
Children's laughter is crisp and month-old, always pleasing.
Yao Yanyan and His Majesty pushed the little Lantern Festival around the pillars in the hall, and they also felt the long-lost happiness.
After spinning a stick of incense in this way, Yao Yanyan felt that Xiao Yuanxiao was a little tired, so she hugged him to rest for a while.
Putting the little guy into the cushioned chair aside, Yao Yanyan smiled and asked, "Is it fun?"
Xiao Yuanxiao's eyes were bright and he nodded heavily.
This game is actually very simple, but if the stroller is replaced by a court lady eunuch, you won't have this feeling at all. The so-called game is that you can have fun and enjoy yourself only when you are with people who are close and familiar.
"Then do you still want to play?"
Xiao Yuanxiao hesitated for a while before nodding shyly in his parents' eyes.
Yao Yanyan smiled and said, "Well, let's rest for a while, then let's play again." In fact, she also wants to play a little bit, but thinking that she is now the mother of three children, if she still plays this kind of game, would it be too naive? some
Just when she thought so, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly said: "Yanyan, take the opportunity of the little Lantern Festival to rest, come up!"
Yao Yanyan was taken aback for a moment. She looked at the small cart painted in vermilion with a little excitement in her heart.
But... this is in front of the child!
Yao Yanyan turned her head to look at her Majesty, and said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this bad? I'm a mother, how can I still play this kind of children's game?"
His Majesty the Emperor naturally said: "What's wrong with being a mother? You're my Yanyan when you're a mother! Why can't you play?"
Yao Yanyan felt that her Majesty’s words were very reasonable, but now Xiao Yuanxiao was staring at them. She glanced at Xiao Yuanxiao and saw that there was no expression on his face, so she said to him: "Little Yuanxiao, the cart said it wants to talk to the mother Play, so mother sits on your behalf first, and when you have a good rest, mother will let you go up, okay?"
It’s a good idea, it’s worth installing. After all, there are many books, complete books, and fast updates!
Little Lantern Festival:...
He nodded, so next, Xiao Yuanxiao sat on a chair, staring at his father and pushing his mother, rushing around the big pillars in the hall, they seemed to have forgotten his son, and had fun. The more happy they were, the whole Yongan Palace was back to the laughter of the two people.
Xiao Yuanxiao sat still on the chair, but his eyes kept turning with the cart that went back and forth. Seeing her mother sitting on the cart with open hands and being pushed by his father, Xiao Yuanxiao felt that she had rested and could continue playing, so she shouted, "Father..."
His father was pushing his mother's queen around, and the laughter of the two of them completely covered his voice.
Xiao Yuanxiao shouted several times, but his father didn't hear him, so he had to give up and put hope on his mother instead. "Queen..."
His mother was sitting on the cart, swaying to the left and right following the trajectory of the daughter of the cart, enjoying it.
Little Lantern Festival:...
After a long time, Xiao Yuanxiao finally saw his mother come down from the cart, and in a blink of an eye, his father sat on it again.
His mother's queen is also very strong, pushing the father without effort, but the mother runs slowly, but his father is obviously happier than when pushing the car. Two adults, at this moment, are like two children.
The little Lantern Festival comforts herself, it’s okay, the parents and queens are busy with affairs on weekdays, they have to work on national affairs, they are very tired, so let the parents play for a while! He can wait any longer, as long as he can make another cart at the end.
Wait until dusk.
When a maid outside asked when to set up the meal, Xiao Yuanxiao was at a loss to discover that the whole afternoon had already passed.
And his father and mother and mother left the cart and were about to go out. It was the maid reminding them that they only remembered, oh, it turns out that the little Lantern Festival is still there!
Seeing the embarrassment on the face of his parents, Xiao Yuanxiao suddenly thought: I seem to be superfluous.
Since then, this idea will appear in his heart from time to time.
In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival has grown to seven years old.
In the early autumn of this year, His Majesty the Emperor decided to personally take the time to teach the Lantern Festival archery.
Regarding the decision of the emperor, there is not much emotional fluctuation on the Lantern Festival, as if he is a rigid little old man, in fact, he is very happy.
Every seven days, the court would take a day off. There is no need to go to the early court on this day. The day when the father taught him to shoot arrows was chosen on this day.
Early in the morning, the Lantern Festival was dressed all day and came to the school. He heard from Chief Chen that this school was the place where his father used to practice riding and shooting.
Not long after the Lantern Festival arrived, the father arrived. The emperor father is also wearing clothes that are easy to ride and shoot today. The style and color are very similar to those on him. The Lantern Festival was a little happy. When he was about to greet him, he saw another figure walking out from behind the father. Yan is his mother's queen.
"Waiting to see the father and the queen." The Lantern Festival bowed respectfully.
He heard that his father and queen said that he was too well-behaved and that he could be more lively like Abacus and Zhou Zhou.
Yuan Xiao thought to himself that he is a prince and he has a heavy responsibility. He cannot be like a sibling. As a prince, he should abide by the rules, be cautious in his words and deeds, and not show his emotions.
Being led by the father and the queen to the corner of the school, looking at the target that has been placed dozens of steps away, and the bows and arrows prepared on the side, the Lantern Festival's eyes showed excitement.
There were a lot of palace servants around. Lantern Festival took a small bow specially prepared for him, accompanied by dozens of short arrows, and stood in the posture taught by the emperor.
His father was standing beside him, bending over to correct his posture, while his mother was sitting behind, looking at them with a smile. The weather in early autumn is neither hot nor cold, and the sky is cloudless, very pleasant.
In accordance with the posture taught by the emperor, Yuan Xiao carefully held the bow and set the arrow. He held his breath and stared straight at the bullseye in the distance, and his heart was beating.
Because he was too young before, he never had the opportunity to learn bow shooting. This was the first time he held a bow to shoot an arrow. He could feel that his father and queen were watching him. He must shoot at the target, and he must not be called father and queen. Disappointed.
Yuan Xiao let go of his fingers, and after the tight bowstring quivered, he sent the arrow out, only to hear a sharp sound, and his short arrow flew toward the target.
Yuan Xiao watched nervously. In his expectant gaze, the arrow flew out for a certain distance, and then slanted into the grass.
The Lantern Festival was extremely disappointed. A palace man pulled up the arrow that was inserted into the ground for him and handed it back to him. He heard his father comfort him: "The first time you shoot an arrow, the strength is inevitably insufficient. Just try a few more times."
When the Lantern Festival was about to nod, I heard the father continue to say: "After all, in this world, there are very few people who are as talented as I, who can hit the bullseye the first time they shoot an arrow."
Lantern Festival:...
Is his father, so boastful on weekdays
He couldn't help turning his head to the side, just seeing his father's face with a somewhat complacent smile, but his eyes glanced at the position of the mother behind him, and the mother... was holding her chin in her hands, looking at her father in admiration.
Lantern Festival:...
Oh, it turns out that this sentence was not meant for me.
Although Yuanxiao was young at this time, he was very self-aware and very knowledgeable. He went to Chen Tongling to teach him archery, but his father really didn't care about his departure. He waited for Yuanxiao to practice for the whole morning. When I looked in the direction of the father and the queen, he saw that the father was supporting the mother and sticking to the mother's back, and he was teaching the mother to shoot arrows intently.
It was almost noon at that time, and the sun in early autumn made people feel a little hot, and the Lantern Festival stood there watching from a distance.
After several rounds of shooting, the queen still couldn't hit the target, she lost interest and made gestures with her father. The two took the feather arrows with the arrows removed and chopped and chopped. The queen accidentally tripped and almost fell. At that time, the emperor immediately threw away the feather arrow and hugged her, and the two of them hugged each other and laughed like two seven or eight-year-old children.
The sun shone on them, blurring the facial features of the two of them, making Yuanxiao's unspeakable envy.
That's great! Yuanxiao thought to himself, I wonder if he will find someone who truly loves each other when he grows up in the future
He hopes that the father and the queen can always be like this, childlike, knowing each other, and growing old...
Ten years later, the Lantern Festival regretted it.
His parents, who were less than 40 years old, passed the throne to him, and then left the capital and traveled around the mountains and waters. By the way, he fabricated an identity, punished evil and promoted good, and waited for the Lantern Festival to react. The folks even published their scripts and dramas.
The relationship between the upright emperor and the prince who has grown up should be very delicate, just like the male lion who is about to grow old and the young lion cub in the lion group. He remembered that the Tai Fu once told him that when his father was young, the old emperor and the prince at the time had a bad relationship. The emperor feared the prince who had reached the peak, and the prince was dissatisfied with the old emperor who had lived for so many years and refused to give way.
But his father... is different from most emperors in history. After confirming that he is capable of ruling the government, he naturally abdicated. The Lantern Festival clearly remembers the day he was enthroned and the empress father and mother looked relieved.
It turns out that in the hearts of the father and the queen, this throne has always been a burden for them to prevent them from having fun.
The mood of the Lantern Festival is very complicated.
Fortunately, he has understood his responsibilities since he was a child, but occasionally when he raised his head in official business, he would flash his father, queen and queen’s faces in his heart, imagining where they were and how happy they were...
After two years of this kind of life, another day, the Lantern Festival was immersed in official duties, and suddenly I heard a report from below saying that the little princess had escaped from marriage.
Lantern Festival:...
His sister, Zhu Liuyuan, escaped from marriage
The Lantern Festival didn’t understand that Zhou Zhou and the Fuyuan Hou Shizi were not in love with each other
