After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

New Year’s Eve palace banquet.

This year's New Year's Eve banquet was particularly lively.

Although Emperor Chengren abdicated, he still lived in the palace with the Queen Mother and Concubine Rou. Freed from the heavy burden of being an emperor, this year he could finally have a good drink with his ministers.

Xiao Yuyan and Lu Jinzhou were both crowned kings. Ever since he knew that Lu Jinzhou was his younger brother, Xiao Yuyan was extremely happy. Today, he even threatened to get drunk with Lu Jinzhou.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, naturally many ministers came to toast him. Xiao Yujing did not spoil the fun and accepted all the guests.

After three rounds of drinks, Duke Jiang came with Jiang Ci Yan and Jiang Ci An to toast.

"Your Majesty, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is An'er's wedding day. I hope Your Majesty can honor him with your presence." Duke Jiang said respectfully.

Ever since Xiao Yujing ascended the throne, his entire temperament has changed. He seems to be colder and more majestic.

Just sitting here without saying anything makes people respect and fear him from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Yujing nodded and looked at Jiang Ci'an.

I heard that Jiang Ci'an's marriage almost fell through a few days ago, and he had to kneel outside Censor Ning's mansion for a whole day before he begged for Lord Ning's forgiveness.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yujing wanted to laugh.

If she knew about this, I don't know how she would laugh at Jiang Ci'an...

Xiao Yujing was suddenly stunned.

she?

"who is she?

In a trance, Xiao Yujing felt as if he had forgotten something.

What is it......

Xiao Yujing frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he was still silent, Duke Jiang couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Yujing came back to his senses, looked at the father and his two sons standing in front of him, smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After the Jiang family father and son left, Eunuch Wu couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Can we call the imperial physician?"

Just now he saw that Xiao Yujing's face didn't look very good.

Xiao Yujing waved his hand, "No need."

He just felt that there were some things he couldn't remember, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.

Xiao Yujing stopped thinking and focused his attention on the palace banquet.

That's it.

Since I can't remember it, it must be something unimportant...

After the palace banquet, Xiao Yujing returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with the help of Eunuch Wu.

He drank a little too much tonight, so Eunuch Wu quickly ordered someone to bring him some sobering soup.

After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Xiao Yujing felt a little better.

He put down the soup bowl and looked at the soft couch beside him.

Although he moved from the Eastern Palace to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch Wu knew that he did not like random changes, so the furnishings in the hall were the same as when he was in the Eastern Palace.

Xiao Yujing looked at the couch and felt that there should be someone lying on it.

What are you thinking about? This is the emperor's bedroom. How dare others sleep on the dragon bed?

It seems that the recent busy state affairs have caused him to have hallucinations.

Xiao Yujing shook his head lightly, stood up and walked towards the bed.

His eyes turned to the bamboo rabbit again, and Xiao Yujing couldn't help but reach out and stroke it.

The rough touch made him feel soft inside for some reason.

Xiao Yujing let go of the rabbit and turned to walk outside.

Eunuch Wu hurriedly grabbed his cloak and chased after him, "Your Majesty, where are you going so late..."

Minghua Palace.

Xiao Yuyao was setting off firecrackers in the yard.

Xiao Yujing walked over hurriedly, and a small firecracker fell right at his feet.

"boom!"

Xiao Yujing suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The palace maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

Xiao Yuyao felt that she had gotten into trouble, so she stood aside and whispered, "Royal brother..."

"Yeah." Xiao Yujing responded, without any intention of blaming him.

Seeing that his expression was still calm, Xiao Yuyao couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Royal brother, why are you still awake so late? Do you have something to talk to Yuyao about?" Xiao Yuyao asked cautiously.

"It's okay, come and take a look." Xiao Yujing said lightly.

"Oh." Xiao Yuyao was really puzzled. When did her brother start to care about her so much?

That’s not right. The emperor has always cared about her, but he was a little strange tonight.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside. Why don't you go inside and talk to Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Eunuch Wu advised.

"Oh oh oh, yes." Xiao Yuyao hurriedly invited the person into the hall.

"Go make some tea." Xiao Yuyao ordered.

"No need, I'll just sit for a while and then leave." Xiao Yujing raised his hand.

"Oh." Xiao Yuyao had no choice but to give up after hearing that.

Xiao Yujing looked around the hall and paused.

I saw a similar bamboo rabbit on a table not far away.

However, this rabbit was obviously more exquisitely made than the one in his bedroom.

"That rabbit..." Xiao Yujing raised his hand and pointed at the table, "Where did you come from?"

Xiao Yuyao followed his gaze.

"Is this what my royal brother is talking about?" Xiao Yuyao stood up and walked over, picking up the bamboo rabbit on the table.

Xiao Yujing nodded slightly.

Xiao Yuyao suddenly couldn't remember the origin of this bamboo rabbit.

She scratched her head and looked at the maid beside her, "Where did this come from?"

"Your Highness, this is what you brought back when you went out of the palace last year, and you gave one to Your Majesty." The maid said respectfully.

"Really?" She had no recollection of it at all.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Xiao Yujing asked, "Did Yuyao do this herself?"

Xiao Yuyao chuckled, "How is that possible? When has my brother ever seen me do handicrafts?"

If it wasn’t made by Yuyao, then why is the craftsmanship of the two rabbits so different?

Xiao Yujing frowned slightly.

"Brother Emperor, you came here...just to ask about this?" Xiao Yuyao asked.

"No, I just came to see you."

Xiao Yujing stood up.

"I'll leave after I finish reading it."

Xiao Yuyao was totally confused, but still saw him off respectfully.

"Farewell, my brother."

Xiao Yujing walked to the door and suddenly stopped.

"By the way, ask Zhang Huaiyun to give him less firecrackers and other small things in the future. They will ruin one's ambition."

After that, he strode away.

Xiao Yuyao's face flushed.

These small firecrackers and fireworks were indeed brought by Zhang Huaiyun from outside the palace to please her.

It just exploded at your feet, didn't it? You are so petty!

Xiao Yuyao stuck out her tongue at Xiao Yujing's back.

When her eyes fell on the bamboo rabbit in her hand, Xiao Yuyao's expression paused.

This little bunny...

"Did I buy this when I left the palace last year?" Xiao Yuyao asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, you liked this rabbit so much at that time that you bought it and placed it on the table so that you could see it at any time. Your Highness, don't you remember?" the maid said respectfully.

Xiao Yuyao murmured in a low voice, "So that's how it is..."

But why did she feel depressed when she saw this rabbit?

Xiao Yujing went all the way back to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the rabbit in a daze.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Eunuch Wu felt that something was wrong with His Majesty today.

Xiao Yujing said in a deep voice, "Wu Yu, do you sometimes feel like you've forgotten something?"

Eunuch Wu smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, I am old now, and it is common for me to forget things. I am used to it."

Xiao Yujing nodded and said, "Let's settle him down."

"Yes."

Eunuch Wu lowered the bed curtain, bowed and walked out.
