In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, the usual emperor would hold a banquet, and stay close to the courtiers to drink and have fun together, leaving the old to welcome the new. The Queen Mother is also surrounded by many Dao Xi's princesses.

Everyone was around Yang Empress Dowager. The tricks generally said good-looking words, and there were a lot of laughs and funny words, which was very lively.

However, there was a little discord in the Yang family during the lively scene. Although Queen Yang smiled, she looked stiff, and she did not look in the direction of Empress Yang. Yang Yan, who was sitting next to Queen Yang, was even more obvious. Her face was cold.

Cheng Yujin was walking in the crowd, smiling and making wall flowers, but his eyes kept watching, quietly observing the people around him. The difference between Queen Yang and Yang Yan fell into the eyes of Cheng Yujin early in the morning. Not only that, she also found that Dou Xiyin did not come today.

Rarely, Dou Xiyin ca n’t wait to see the Royal Palace as her own home. In the past, she would definitely dress up for the occasion when she showed her face, and this time, such an important opportunity to accompany Empress Yang ’s Chinese New Year. But not there.

Cheng Yujin laughed and did not speak, leisurely watched the wall, and did not speak.

Cheng Yujin noticed that Queen Mother Yang had seen several young ladies. Queen Yang sat aside and couldn't even talk. It's not a pleasure to see her face.

In fact, for Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing, the second prince marrying Dou Xiyin is the most beneficial to them. There is no difference between Dou Xiyin's surname Dou and Yang's surname, and letting the second prince add another powerful relative is not beautiful.

Cheng Yujin pretended not to find anything, and still smiled and listened to flattery.

In the evening, many ladies said goodbye. Those who can accompany the emperor and the empress to attend the Royal New Year's Eve dinner are all big reds, and they can be taken out and blown in any one of them for a year. Normally, Yang Yan's mother and daughter were left behind by the scenery, but this year, before waiting for the banquet, Yang Yan left the palace with a sullen face.

After she left, Cheng Yujin, who had listened to Empress Dowager quietly, glanced silently in the direction of Yang Yan. Then Cheng Yujin withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened.

The New Year ’s Eve banquet is divided into two parts: the male seat and the female seat are arranged in two halls, and the palaces are connected by cloisters. There was a platform in the middle square, singing and dancing.

After all, Queen Mother Yang was too old to stand still. She showed a face at the New Year's Eve banquet, and she was helped by her mother to rest in Cining Palace. After Empress Yang left, Queen Yang and Cheng Yujin were the main players. However, the women could have fun in singing and dancing. Cheng Yujin and Queen Yang talked less to each other. This is true of the empress and the crown prince.

Compared to women, the temple where men are located is much more lively, with laughter and applause from time to time. The dinner lasted until the moment of the New Year, and it took a very long time. In the later period, the female family members made excuses to leave the seat and go outside to ventilate.

Cheng Yujin was very patient and sat steadily for a long time. Until Queen Yang also left the dressing, she took the maid to the harem to relax. Forsythia followed Cheng Yujin very much and admired it. Do n’t look at sitting in the hall, it ’s not easier than standing, because you have to maintain a straight posture, and you still have to maintain a smile, and you will be tired when you look at it, and the crown prince insisted on two hours almost motionless. This concentration is in awe when you think about it.

Cheng Yujin finally breathed a sigh of relief in the harem, but even if no one was around, Cheng Yujin never showed a loose posture, and maintaining her manners had become a daily routine for her.

Forsythia gave Cheng Yujin a sobering soup and said, "Prince, do you need to help you beat your waist?"

Cheng Yujin shook his head: "No. I just saw an **** move fireworks out when I came out. I must have set off fireworks soon. I'll just take a break here. If the clothes on my body are crumpled, it's not good."

Forsythia should be. Cheng Yujin drank the hangover soup and drank two cups of tea to refresh him. He felt that his chaotic mind was gradually awake before he got up and went out. At the moment, the palace was very lively. The eunuchs were busy with artillery fireworks and fireworks. The juggling troupe showed their magical powers on the open ground. The fence stood full of watching the lively court ladies, pointing at the square excitedly. Looking straight ahead, there was already a bright candlelight burning, and the bright yellow tents around them seemed to be white, and the sides were full of people.

Presumably, the imperial driver has moved out of the main hall and moved outside. It is not New Year's time at this time, and the firecrackers cannot be set off, but the educated little eunuchs set off fireworks sticks and made the master happy.

The ladies were also gathered in a pile at the moment, with the shadows of their clothes and their eyes full of pearls, each holding the stove in their hands, smiling or standing, pointing at the bottom of the steps.

Cheng Yujin approached, and the palace concubines stepped back to say hello to Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin nodded lightly to them and smiled to the crowd. It was late at night, the wind was dry and cold, and the night was surprisingly dark. The air was filled with the unique smell of fire, which reminded people of the New Year.

Cheng Yujin was a little preoccupied with this atmosphere. She remembered that at this time last year, she was still in Houfu, Yichun, facing the hustle and bustle of the house. Who knows that one year later, she not only married, but also spent the Chinese New Year in the Forbidden City.

Cheng Yujin seemed to be looking up, looking in the other direction, just to see Li Chengjing standing beside the emperor, staring at her.

At this moment, a huge firecracker sound suddenly sounded outside, the fireworks in all corners were lit together, and the crackling ears were numb. Cheng Yujin was taken aback, and naturally looked up at the sky. At the same time, the sky outside the palace also lit up, flashing bursts of colorful light.

Time is the same, and at this moment, a new year is coming to the land of Kyushu at the same time.

With a move in his heart, Cheng Yujin immediately looked back at Li Chengjing and found that there was no one in that position. Everyone was looking up at the sky at this time. The crackling sound of firecrackers was deafening. If they were not shouting, they would not notice the movement of others. Cheng Yujin stepped back quietly, turned around and hurried away.

Just halfway through, she met Li Chengjing halfway. She unknowingly smiled and ran two steps towards Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing also opened his hand and took her steadily.

Cheng Yujin wore a big red kimono today, covered with a snow-white cloak, standing there like a red plum in the snow, beautiful. Cheng Yujin threw himself into Li Chengjing's arms, and the cloak almost shone in the dark: "Your Highness, Happy New Year."

Li Chengjing also smiled and brought her into the arms with her cloak: "You too. Happy New Year."

"Am I the first to congratulate you?"

"Yes." Li Chengjing's voice rang in her ears, with a low smile, "I just hope you are the first one every year."

At this time, Cheng Yujin did not rationally analyze the possibility with him, nor evaded, but embraced him similarly: "Yes."

After the New Year, the palace was filled with fireworks happily. Everyone saw whether they knew it or not, whether it was dirty or not, they were all happy. The emperor was very pleased when he saw this. He watched the hour and a half before the steps of the Qianqing Palace, and he was exhausted and returned to the palace to rest.

After the emperor left, the other princes, princes, and courtiers dared to spread out, and the palace concubine returned to the palace in twos and threes. Li Chengjing sent the emperor away, and he didn't intend to spend time outside any longer. He coped with a few waves of people who celebrated his New Year at will, and quickly walked to the gate of the palace.

After seeing the snow-white figure in the night, Li Chengjing found himself relieved: "Why didn't you go?"

Cheng Yujin looked back, and she was carrying a palace lantern in her hand, and the red dress on her body was warmed up more and more: "I am waiting for Your Highness."

Li Chengjing naturally took her hand, took the lamp in her hand, and circled her hand once the palm turned. Cheng Yujin smiled and asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Li Chengjing lowered his eyes to look at her, and the lights gleamed his eyes into a smile, shining brightly: "Okay, now you and the lamp are mine."

It stands to reason that the two returned to the palace with their own pace, but today Li Chengjing is not willing to let go of Cheng Yujin's hand. He can remember the day of the big wedding celebration feast. After Cheng Yujin's feast, he didn't wait for him and went straight back to himself. Today, he is willing to stay outside and wait for him. This is really a big improvement for Li Chengjing.

Li Chengjing didn't want the third person to come up and dismiss him, so he sent the Gong people away. He took Cheng Yujin's hand and walked slowly in the Forbidden City on the first day of the new year. At this time, the fireworks had already been set, but there were still loud noises in front of the Qianqing Palace Square. They walked behind the Qianqing Palace, and the hustle and bustle seemed to go away.

The air is filled with the coldness of the night and the smell of fresh fire, and there is a strange feeling of home. Although the night wind is as hard as a knife, it is not boring.

The two of them did not speak, enjoying the rare warmth of silence. Li Chengjing walked for a while, and suddenly said: "Yu Jin, you said that our children will be like you or me?"

Cheng Yujin was surprised and then smiled dumbly: "His Royal Highness, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Because this is the first new year that my family and I have spent, we naturally think of our children." Li Chengjing said plainly, but Cheng Yujin suddenly felt distressed when he listened. She firmly held Li Chengjing's hand and said, "I like one of the numbers most, because one has two, and there will be many more."

Li Chengjing gave a chuckle, the laughter was clear and pleasant in the night breeze, more intoxicating than the old vintage wine at the banquet. Cheng Yujin felt a little hot on her face, and Li Chengjing took her hand seriously and thought about the future: "If I were a boy, it would be good if you were like me, if you were a girl, it would still be a little better than you. "

Cheng Yujin was curious and turned his head to look at him: "Why?"

"The boy marries his wife, no matter who he looks like, he will not be bad. But the girl always wants to marry someone, so it's better to be like you, so I don't have to worry about her being cheated by men in the future."

Cheng Yujin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengjing with a smile: "His Royal Highness, what you said is not true. You boast about yourself, why should you step on me?"

Li Chengjing couldn't help laughing. Although he always smiles lightly, he rarely laughs like this at the moment: "You are stupid girl, I'm boasting you."

Cheng Yujin glared at him with a smile and said, "Then I really thank Your Highness."

The two held hands and walked slowly back to Ciqing Palace. At the moment, all the Ciqing Palace stood up and down in the courtyard, with smiles on their faces. After seeing Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin, they saluted together: "Please greet the prince and prince. The prince and prince congratulate Kang Shun in the new year, and Wanfu returns to Thailand."

These voices were rejoicing and loud. Cheng Yujin couldn't help but smile, and Li Chengjing also rarely smiled, saying: "You have served the crown prince, everyone rewards three months of salaries."

The court eunuchs were happier when they heard it, and spoke harder and auspiciously. Cheng Yujin walked back to the inner hall with joy in the courtyard. She watched the fireworks for a long time in front of the square, and her body was full of saltpetre. The clean room has hot water throughout the day, and she went to take a simple bath and change clothes, changed her brand-new coat, and slowly walked out.

The red shadows were heavy in the inner hall, and the lanterns outside shone the window grilles. Cheng Yujin didn't see anyone in the inner hall, and was already accustomed to it. He held his hair with one hand and walked towards the inside.

Li Chengjing really sat behind the screen, saw her, and naturally came forward to take the hair in her hand. But today, instead of twisting her hair as usual, he clasped the veil firmly, sucked the water from her hair with the veil, and threw it aside, holding her up horizontally.

Cheng Yujin was caught off guard and unconsciously grabbed his shoulder. "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Li Chengjing took her and strode toward the bed tent: "Naturally, it is an important event that is conducive to national heritage and ancestral temple worship."

Cheng Yujin was very helpless when she heard that her cheeks were flushed and she rested one hand on his shoulder. I did n’t know whether I should push it away or not.

"I know." Li Chengjing placed her on the Dahongjin quilt and smiled on the side of her neck. "Because of this, it is necessary to step up. This is a matter of national stability, which has been urged several times outside. , If you do n’t get pregnant anymore, what is my face? "

Cheng Yujin bit his lip, tolerated and tolerated, but still couldn't resist the redness of his ears: "You're such a person ... you say such a thing, even a look of acting upright."

Li Chengjing raised his eyebrows: "Well, why? Like you, is your neck red?"

Cheng Yujin glared at him angrily, and immediately reached out to cover his neck. Li Chengjing easily intercepted her hand and pressed it on the Jin quilt: "Good boy, this is my duty, cooperate with me tonight."
