Her Royal Highness The Princess From A Thousand Years Ago

Shacheng is located in the central part, and the temperature in winter is much lower than that of Bincheng, and much colder than that of Beijing.

It was the first time for Li Mingyue to spend the winter here. As soon as she landed and left the airport, she couldn't help shivering from the cold, and the hot air she exhaled immediately condensed into fog.

Shen Yanbing went out early to pick her up, gathered her scarf as soon as she saw someone, took the suitcase, touched her cheek with gloves on, and smiled: "There is heating at home."

Li Mingyue stomped her feet slightly, and the hot air she exhaled immediately condensed into fog: "It's so cold."

Shen Yanbing led her into the car, and it was time for dinner when they returned to the small building of the Shen family.

The next day is the new year, and the streets and communities are decorated with lights and festoons, a festive red.

Li Mingyue was a little cautious when she entered the house and took her seat. The whole family had returned to Shacheng, and the place where they lived was also nearby, so it was very lively when they gathered together.

Shen Yueran was arguing to pick up Sister Li early in the morning, but now she was a little shy when she saw her, she just hugged her arm and giggled.

"Yueran seems to have grown taller." Li Mingyue gestured and hugged her, Shen Yanbing looked over and teased: "It's so big."

Shen Yueran made a face at her, "Smelly Miss, I'm not a big lobster."

"The little princess is here to unwrap the present!"

On the other side, Shen Tongzhou, who came back from the capital yesterday, brought a lot of high-quality gifts and invited the younger generation to come and have a look.

Shen Yueran immediately jumped off the sofa, the bulky cotton padded jacket did not affect her performance at all, she jumped into Shen Tongzhou's arms precisely, "Second Grandpa!"

"Oh little princess, have you gained weight—"

"I'm not a princess." Shen Yueran snorted, "I'm wearing too much clothes!"

Shen Tongzhou agreed with a smile, let her unpack all the packages indiscriminately, turned around and asked Shen Yuan, "Why hasn't your father come back yet?"

Shen Yuan's father is also Shen Tongzhou's elder brother, but the career direction of the two brothers is too far away, one is an academic and the other is a businessman, and they don't have close contact on weekdays.

"They won't be back until New Year's Eve, so they should be able to catch up with Yanbing's birthday." Shen Yuan explained, while preventing Shen Yueran from spoiling the gift, the packaging was torn so that the greeting card was almost destroyed.

The living room on the first floor was noisy, Deng Yan and Zheng Man showed off their skills in the kitchen, and a big meal was ready when it was brought out.

Li Mingyue greeted them one by one, it was not the first time they had met, and she knew the general situation well, so she quickly let go and chatted.

At this table, apart from Shen Yueran, only Shen Tongzhou didn't know the origin of Li Mingyue.

Zheng Man: "I have received the clothes you sent. It is indeed a lost craftsmanship - the pattern and style are like those of the Tang Dynasty here, and the owner's level will not be lower than the second grade."

Li Mingyue smiled: "Auntie, if you have any questions, just ask."

The two sat close to each other, and soon exchanged details about it. Li Mingyue knew a lot about the affairs in the palace, and the details were informative, which made Shen Tongzhou amazed at the other party's historical literacy.

"You can't tell that you have a solid foundation at such a young age!" He admired, and then looked at Shen Yanbing, "Don't slack off, look up to Xiao Li."

The people at the table laughed secretly and said nothing, only Shen Yueran raised her hand in agreement: "Look at Sister Li!"

Everyone laughed, but didn't delve into it, and chatted again, chatting about knowledge and trivial matters.

Li Mingyue liked the atmosphere of Shen's dinner table very much.

"It's very relaxing." She sat on the edge of the bed in Shen Yanbing's bedroom on the second floor, and suddenly stretched her arms and lay back, "It's so comfortable."

Shen Yanbing sat in front of the desk, turned the swivel chair to this side, and smiled: "You royal family eat so richly."

"But it's boring." Li Mingyue recalled, "Either one person eats, or there are many people, and no one talks."

Although there are many dishes, they are just eating.

Now Li Mingyue thinks back on these, and her sad emotions have faded.

"It's all over." She looked at the modern pure white ceiling, put her foot on Shen Yanbing's lap, and smiled sweetly, "It's fine now."

Shen Yanbing scratched her restless feet, Li Mingyue laughed and shrank back on the bed, "No."

The gloom of the past is gone, only the purity remains forever.

The next day, the Shen family woke up early, and the housekeeping aunt was on vacation during this period, and the family only needed to clean and cook during this period, and the whole family was extremely busy.

Shen Tongzhou and Shen Yuan went to Mr. Shen's for a while, and when they came back, they bought new year's goods, and soon joined the dust-sweeping team.

"Why haven't grandparents come back yet?" Shen Yueran was still waiting for Shen Yuan's parents to come back to bring her a gift, "They won't get lost, right?"

Li Mingyue touched her head, "Wait a few more days."

Due to the absence of these two, Shen Yuan's family felt that the villa at home was deserted, so they have been running here for the past few days.

"The Spring Festival couplets are back!" Shen Tongzhou flipped through the big box he just bought, and unfolded the red paper, "Should I ask the old man to write it this year, or ask Zheng Ke?"

Shen Yanbing came over, "The bright moon is fine."

Only then did Shen Tongzhou slap his head, thinking: "Xiao Li is also learning calligraphy!"

He spread out the Spring Festival couplet paper on the table, and Shen Yanbing went to the study on the second floor to get a pen and ink, and asked, "Have you decided what to write?"

Li Mingyue was very unfamiliar with this set. Jing Chao did not have the custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets and window grilles. While curiously looking up the historical origin, she touched the slightly frizzy paper of Spring Festival couplets.

Shen Yanbing handed her the brush on the red thick paper printed with gold-edged patterns, "I'll read, you write?"

Li Mingyue nodded, what Shen Yanbing recited was not a random search on the Internet, but a couplet specially written by Mr. Zheng a few days ago.

Hands started to write, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, the big characters were fluent, Shen Tongzhou stared at it carefully, and when everything was written, he clapped and clapped, "Excellent!"

Shen Yanbing looked at him helplessly, Shen Tongzhou was a typical Shen family in this aspect, and knew nothing about calligraphy and painting.

But this does not prevent Professor Shen Da from admiring and praising, "You are young, and you are very imposing!"

Li Mingyue smiled modestly, and chatted with Professor Shen about calligraphy appreciation.

When the ink was dry, Shen Tongzhou and Shen Yuan posted it in front of the gate together, and then took out a large stack of red paper, "Didn't you say you were going to cut window grilles last year?"

It was Zheng Ke who said this last year. She felt that the plastic window grilles that were directly pasted had no soul, but this year she went to her husband's house, and she won't be here until New Year's Eve.

Shen Yueran was very interested in these handmade things, so she took the children's paper scissors and cut them without asking.

The red square paper quickly turned into a pile of shreds.

Shen Yanbing: "...do you know what to cut?"

"Huahua." Shen Yueran took it for granted, and after speaking, she seemed to think of something, then turned to look at Li Mingyue, "Will Sister Li know?"

Sister Li, of course not.

Li Mingyue said to Shen Yanbing, "Can you do it?"

Shen Yanbing can do it, but her level is not comparable to that of Zheng Ke.

She took the scissors and paper, folded the engraved line, and worked meticulously, and it was quickly formed.

There are no overly cumbersome petals or other decorations, just simple and refreshing arc window grilles.

Shen Yueran fiddled with it, paused for a few seconds, then raised her head: "It's so ugly."

Shen Yanbing: "...Can you talk?"

What Shen Yueran actually wanted to express was rough and rough, but because she didn't have enough vocabulary, she had to use the word "ugly" in the world.

Li Mingyue burst out laughing, Shen Yanbing raised her eyebrows: "No way, even you..."

"No." Li Mingyue interrupted with a smile, "I think it looks pretty."

Shen Yanbing suspected that this was a girlfriend filter, and was dubious, Li Mingyue said again: "You can take it back and stick it on my desk."

Shen Yanbing believed the other party's compliment, and said modestly, "That's not necessary."

The time of winter vacation is always amazingly fast. Li Mingyue wandered around Shacheng with Shen's family and had dinner with other relatives and friends. It was the day before New Year's Eve without paying attention.

Today is Shen Yanbing's 29th birthday.

In addition to Shen Yuan's family who have been here these days, Zheng Ke's family and grandparents also came. It was the first time for Li Mingyue to face such a battle, and she couldn't help feeling nervous.

She nestled in the upstairs bedroom and didn't want to go downstairs.

Shen Yanbing held back a smile, "It's not like you haven't seen them before."

There are only a few elders who have never met, and most of them are familiar faces.

Li Mingyue is melancholy: "I'm afraid I won't perform well."

"They are very curious about you." Shen Yanbing sat beside her, "Today is my birthday."

"Yeah." Li Mingyue looked at her with some resentment, "Happy birthday."

It's ten o'clock in the morning, and when Shen Yanbing tossed her on the bed, when she stepped into the early hours of this morning, she kept asking her to repeat this blessing.

When Li Mingyue thought about it now, when she heard this sentence, she couldn't help but panicked with embarrassment.

Shen Yanbing poked her: "Where's my gift?"

Li Mingyue didn't look at her: "No."

"So you really forgot." Shen Yanbing's tone was disappointed, Li Mingyue turned her head, but saw her looking at herself with a smile on her chin.

Li Mingyue didn't turn her head, said in a muffled voice, "Then grant one of your wishes."

As she spoke, she put her hand on Shen Yanbing's palm, "Come downstairs with you."

Shen Yanbing took the opportunity, bent her knees, and kissed the back of her hand, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Every year's birthday process is pretty much the same. The Shen and Zheng families don't like sweets very much, so the custom-made cakes are not big, and they are mainly used to set off the atmosphere.

There is no candle-blowing and singing birthday song session like Shen Yueran's birthday. As she gets older, the problem of her family teasing her becomes more and more realistic.

"Don't do it specially in the future, anyway, we have to meet on New Year's Eve." Shen Yanbing was very helpless, pinched Li Mingyue's palm, and looked at the crowd, "Every year is one year older, don't remind me to go to the third."

Zheng Ke laughed wildly, "What do you want us to do, you are the youngest sister in our life!"

The two families are dying, and the cousins ​​have frequent exchanges, and the relationship is still close to this day.

"Now there is one more." Shen Yanbing embraced Li Mingyue's shoulders, smiling, "19 years old, every April 22nd birthday, don't forget any presents!"

Li Mingyue was caught off guard by being pushed to the center of the topic, showing shyness, Zheng Ke and Deng Yan responded with a smile, and the elders also nodded. Mr. Zheng laughed heartily: "It can be regarded as another addition to the family!"

It's not because of the idea of ​​having more children and more blessings. There are not many descendants in the two families, and only Shen Yanbing is left alone in the younger generation. It always feels bad to the old man.

In the afternoon, Li Mingyue stayed in the living room on the first floor, chatting with the old man for a while, and playing with Shen Yueran for a while, she was extremely busy.

Shen Yanbing was afraid that she would be tired, so he stopped Li Mingyue who came out of the bathroom, and asked, "Do you want to take a nap?"

Li Mingyue refused, looking at her ignorant look: "Everyone is still waiting, I'll go first."

Shen Yanbing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In the evening, as everyone left one after another, the small Shen family building gradually became deserted.

When Shen Yanbing went upstairs, Li Mingyue was fiddling with something in front of the desk, she knocked on the door and made a sound, approached, Li Mingyue had quickly covered herself.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yanbing looked at her with a smile.

Li Mingyue stood against the edge of the desk, with her hands behind her back, and coughed softly, "Nothing."

Shen Yanbing chuckled: "My gift?"

Li Mingyue's surprise flashed past, and she was a little frustrated: "How come you know everything."

"It's because you're too obvious." Shen Yanbing smiled, she couldn't believe that Li Mingyue didn't prepare any birthday presents at all.

You know, she even put a lot of thought into Shen Yueran and Zheng Man's birthdays.

Li Mingyue finally moved away, allowing her to see the scroll in her hand.

Shen Yanbing unfolded slowly, and the calmness on his face gradually turned into astonishment.

Even though she has seen so many famous paintings, this portrait is enough to amaze her.

On the snowy ground, the woman was wearing a red fur coat, a cloak and a hat to keep out the cold, standing outside the red wall of the palace with warm eyes.

Shen Yanbing was so familiar with that face - it turned out to be her own.

It was as if she was also born to be a woman under the ancient palace wall.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Li Mingyue couldn't help rolling up the painting, but was stopped by Shen Yanbing.

"I haven't seen enough yet." Shen Yanbing smiled.

Li Mingyue let go, and let go of her hanging heart: "I thought you didn't like it, and I'm afraid of failure when I draw."

When she painted Shen Yanbing for the first time, she thought about his face day and night, but when she wrote it, she always felt that it lacked charm.

Later, she had frequent dreams in the capital. In the dream, Shen Yanbing was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and walking side by side with her on the palace wall road with heavy snow in Jingchao—hence there was this painting.

But even the best paintings and photos are not as vivid as real people.

Li Mingyue raised her head, climbed onto Shen Yanbing's neck, her lips were close to her ears, her nose was itchy.

"Happy birthday to you," she said.

At night, the wall lamps are ambiguous, and the faint fragrance floats. This is the birthday that Shen Yanbing has been most fond of in these years.

By the time of the real New Year's Eve, Li Mingyue had completely gotten used to the Shen family's life, which was even more regular than in Bincheng.

She even learned Tai Chi from Zheng Man, and a few Chinglish sentences from Shen Tongzhou.

Shen Yanbing was overjoyed, and shouted to Li Mingyue who was tending flowers and plants in the yard: "Happy New Year! (Happy New Year!)"

After the dawn of the moon, I realized that I would reply: "HappyNewYear!"

The pronunciation was unexpectedly standard, Shen Yanbing raised his eyebrows, his heart moved, and he deliberately teased her: "Willyoumarryme? (Will you marry me?)"

Li Mingyue obviously didn't learn this sentence, she turned her head, "Huh?"

Shen Yanbing smiled, did not repeat, and said instead: "It's cold outside, don't stay too long."

The flowers and plants in the yard outside the small building of the Shen family had long withered and overgrown with weeds, and the gravel road had not been taken care of for an unknown period of time.

Li Mingyue is very concerned about these things, and has been here since the day of sweeping the dust, looking forward to the re-germination of a few dry branches in spring.

The small building of Shen's family and the villa of Shen Yuan's parents are in the same community. The two families have always celebrated the New Year together, so they decided where to spend the night this year according to old man Shen's ideas.

This year, he chose to get together with Shen Tongzhou.

In the evening, the Shen family got together and had a New Year’s Eve dinner together. The TV in the living room was playing the Spring Festival Gala.

Even the chill in Shacheng was dissipated by the bustle.

Li Mingyue sipped her meal, followed Zheng Man's words with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and kept her ears on the sound of the TV from time to time.

The prelude to the Spring Festival Gala has kicked off, and the singing and dancing shows take turns, and the screen is dyed in bright red, and the whole country is celebrating the Spring Festival with joy.

Li Mingyue knew that she would keep the New Year's Eve tonight, so she deliberately took a nap in the afternoon, and sat quietly on the sofa in the living room after dinner in the evening.

She watched the show intently.

Shen Yanbing was infected by her earnestness, and it was rare for her to appreciate it seriously.

The elders of Shen's family had already set up a table beside them, and they brought the mahjong that Shen Yuan picked up for a few dollars, very down-to-earth.

Shen Yueran seldom settled down, sitting in front of the TV, just waiting to set off the fireworks later.

"I can only play fairy sticks." Deng Yan squatted down and explained, "This year we can't put Kongming lanterns."

Shen Yueran dragged her tone: "Okay~"

As she said that, she crawled to Li Mingyue's side, "I want Sister Li to accompany me."

Li Mingyue said hello with a smile.

The custom of keeping the new year in Shacheng is to open the gate at zero o'clock, but Shen Yueran fell asleep before this time came.

Deng Yan covered her with a blanket and hugged her to the wide side of the sofa, "It can be counted as sleeping."

Li Mingyue smiled, leaned on Shen Yanbing's shoulder and continued to wait for the countdown to the new year.

At around 11:30 in the night, there were gun salutes outside. Shacheng did not completely ban fireworks and firecrackers. There was a designated fireworks display area on the other side of the square.

The area around the community is empty, and the fireworks blooming from the sky can be seen clearly from the window.

Colorful and gorgeous, they suddenly spread out in the night sky, and there were no spots.

Li Mingyue followed Shen Yanbing upstairs, and could see more clearly from the window on the second floor.

With the sound of the salute, the stream of light bursting up into the air, reflecting the dots of stars, crashed down and reflected on the retina.

Li Mingyue looked a little crazy.

The door was not closed, and the countdown from downstairs faintly passed into the bedroom, Shen Yanbing glanced at the time, "New Year's Eve is coming soon."

Li Mingyue came to her senses, listened to the sound, and whispered: "Five, four, three, two—"

"one!"

Shen Yanbing read together, and then shouted: "Happy New Year!"

Her eyes were deep, reflecting the sudden rise of the fireworks outside, shining brightly and brightly.

Li Mingyue smiled sweetly: "Happy New Year."

Shen Yanbing casually took the two glasses on the table by the window, and handed them to the other party with a smile.

Li Mingyue obediently took it, and was about to take a sip, but was lightly touched by Shen Yanbing's glass, and the glass wall made a crisp sound.

Li Mingyue smiled, and then Shen Yanbing pressed her hand again, and then intersected her hands, her eyes met, she bowed her head tacitly, and exchanged glasses for a drink.

Substituting water for wine, we know that cold water is the essence of life.

Li Mingyue pressed down the arm covering the glass, quietly looked at Shen Yanbing, the two eyes met suddenly, and they smiled in agreement.

Their encounter is metaphysics that cannot be explained by science, but their love does not come out of thin air.

It wasn't because she met someone first, but because the other party was Shen Yanbing, Li Mingyue felt the throbbing in her heart.

She suddenly called Shen Yanbing's name softly.

While Gu Pan was looking, Shen Yanbing looked at her sideways and smiled brightly.

Tonight the bright moon hangs high in the night sky, surrounded by the sound of exploding gun salutes, and the host’s excited congratulatory speech from downstairs. The two are holding each other carefully in silent enthusiasm by the window full of flames. hands, fingers intertwined slowly.

The cold wind blows outside the window, and snowflakes suddenly fall.

All good things are on the way, and the road is long and difficult, but the future can be expected.

The author has something to say: the text is over.
