Empress dowager, the queen sighed
Chapter 86 New Year's Eve
The beautiful jade is flawless and beautiful.
At first glance, Li Lexi liked it, especially the touch, it was very comfortable to touch, she looked at Chu Yuan: "This string of jade is very beautiful."
"That's normal. I'll give you a string of blood jade beads." After finishing speaking, Chu Yuan took out a string of jade beads like offering treasures, pulled the lamp closer, and showed the queen a closer look. There were countless densely packed small characters on the beads.She said with a smile: "I inquired about you and found that your life is very boring. You are full of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If I want to engrave more, I can't do it. Look at the small characters on it. They are all major events that have happened over the years."
Li Lexi was shocked, she leaned against the light to look at it, but couldn't read the words on it clearly, at most she could only see the three characters Li Lexi, there was nothing else she could refute, but these were enough to make her happy.
Chu Yuan told her: "Here are nineteen, from your birth to your wedding, next year, I will give you one more, until I die."
"What did your Majesty say, and what did you say in a polite way?" Li Lexi was moved, and she couldn't help but glance at her, holding the jade bead in his hand, his expression of happiness was beyond words, and he said: "This is the most favorite gift of my concubine."
"It should be said that I like it now, but it cannot represent the future." Chu Yuan reminded her that happy things will continue, and they will not stay in the past, let alone the present.
She hugged the queen and lay down together. In the bed, she asked the queen: "Do you like me a little bit?"
Li Lexi didn't answer, she still held the jade bead in her hand, but pressed her body tightly against her.
Chu Yuan didn't touch her, but slept with An Jing in his arms.
On the day of Mrs. Li's birthday, the emperor came to the central palace early, and changed into a dark black skirt with green bamboo embroidered on the skirt, and he was full of heroism.
The queen wore a red palace dress, with a graceful phoenix crown, and the two went to Li's mansion together.
When he arrived at Li's mansion, Li Tongfu rushed out of the mansion in a hurry. He ran so fast that he lost one of his shoes halfway, stopped and walked back to put on his shoes.
The emperor and empress had already crossed the threshold, and everyone fell to the ground, and the empress walked past them with a magnificent demeanor.
Li Tongfu arrived, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and apologized to the empress. Chu Yuan didn't care about him, waved his hand to signal him to get up, and said slowly: "I just came back with the empress."
The implication is that there is no queen, and she will not come.
Mrs. Li who rushed over heard this and rolled her eyes angrily, gritted her teeth and saluted her husband's original daughter. Li Lexi calmed down and said nothing else.
The emperor led the empress into the mansion, and the crowd followed behind. Seeing how much the emperor cared about the empress, there were different opinions.
Li Tongfu's original partner was a concubine who was not favored. She died within two years of marrying Li Tongfu, but now her daughter is the queen.
Entering the main hall, Li Tongfu asked people to watch tea, and he himself served in front of the emperor. Mrs. Li also greeted this daughter with care.
The other children of the Li family stood outside the door anxiously, looking at the elder sister's gorgeous appearance. Li San's delivery was imminent, so they didn't come back and walked around, only sent someone to bring a congratulatory gift.
The emperor and Li Tongfu talked about political affairs. Mrs. Li kept looking at Li Lexi. They haven't seen each other for more than half a year. The other party's life is much better than she imagined. Not only the clothes and jewelry have changed, but even the temperament and charm are much better than before. .
The palace is a place to raise people, and her bowels are turning green, which is really unlucky.
When the two were talking about political affairs, Li Lexi listened quietly, thinking about it from time to time.Li Tongfu is a civil servant, and he talks about political achievements in various places, not military affairs.
After talking for a long time, King Heng came, brought congratulatory gifts, and came to congratulate Master Li, followed by Concubine Hu.
As soon as she saw the two of them walking together, Mrs. Li's expression changed.Chu Yuan saw it, but did not speak, but smiled, and praised: "Brother Heng thinks he likes this side concubine very much. Hu side concubine looks beautiful, and I heard that her kung fu is very good."
Hu raised her eyes and saw the emperor was slightly surprised. After a breath, she hurriedly lowered her head and said cautiously: "Thank you for your praise, it's just a trivial skill."
Chu Yuan stopped talking, after all, 'men and women are different', if you talk too much, it will cause criticism.
King Heng and his concubine sat down, and many courtiers came here intermittently, and there were also many girls who had not left the court. King Heng looked at a few people, and then looked at the beauty of the queen, and felt that they were boring.
Hu's is not as good as the Queen's finger.Heng Wang felt sour with jealousy, he drank two cups of tea to suppress his discomfort.
After lunch, Li's residence also arranged activities, the men competed in archery and poetry, and the women listened to operas.
When Lord Li asked the emperor if he could go to watch archery, she looked at Li Lexi: "Does the queen want to listen to the show?"
Li Lexi smiled slightly, "The concubine wants to watch His Majesty shoot arrows."
"The queen has already said, how can I not be satisfied." Chu Yuan winked at her, pampering and loving.
Li Tongfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor liked Lexi, otherwise the Li family would have lost the two girls at once.Today's Li family has been accused of lax family style, and Li San alone has implicated the girls in the mansion, and no one dares to marry a girl from the Li family.
If the empress is favored, the Li family will regain some face.
After the emperor ordered, many girls were attracted. They wanted to see the emperor's arrow skills, so they all followed suit.
The place for the competition is set in an open space, which can accommodate more than a hundred people. The children of the aristocratic families are competing, and the girls are standing on the pavilion to watch. Some of them are already engaged, and they are very satisfied when they look across the crowd.
There were a few scattered arrows on the archery target, and those who knew how to shoot the arrow would compete in the competition, while the frail scholar stood by and watched, neither understanding nor talking nonsense.
When they heard that the emperor wanted to perform archery for the empress, they were really surprised. They thought about it and asked, "Your Majesty can also shoot arrows?"
"Yes, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival competition, His Majesty shot a red heart with an arrow. Not only that, he also won one person."
"Then shall I release the water today?"
Everyone fell silent for a while.
The emperor stood in the crowd, and waited for everyone to leave before he went to choose the arrow, and he also pulled the queen together, inseparable.
The emperor chose three arrows, asked the queen to hold the bow in both hands, and he held her hands, pulled them away suddenly, pointed at the target, and whispered to the queen, "Queen, are you afraid?"
Chu Yuan drew the bow, Li Lexi just made a movement, Chu Yuan was almost clinging to her body, and the two of them stuck together in front of more than a hundred people, this alone almost made her unbearable.
However, Chu Yuan took it for granted, "The emperor and empress are in harmony, and the country is very lucky."
After saying that, the arrow in his hand shot out and hit the red heart.
Everyone looked sideways, unable to tell who shot it.
With the next arrow, Chu Yuan let go of the queen and drew the bow alone. The arrow flew out and hit the red heart again.
With the last arrow, she held her breath, aimed at the first arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow split the shaft of the first arrow, and hit the target as usual.
There was no sound in the courtyard, no words to marvel.
Li Lexi didn't know how to do archery, so she could see a look called 'amazing' from the expressions of the people around her.
Chu Yuan put down his bow, walked up to the queen as if there was no one there, raised his eyebrows and asked her, "How is my archery?"
Li Lexi generously praised: "It's amazing."
Everyone watched the two sing together, and their teeth ached.
In the archery competition, different judges all know that the emperor won, and he won very well.The weak monarch in their eyes is not the weak one they saw, and his kung fu is better than ordinary generals.
After the competition, the emperor returned to the palace, leaving behind everyone who looked at each other in blank dismay.
The girls upstairs saw the demeanor of the emperor, and their hearts jumped for joy, and they chatted and laughed together.
Bai Lishu, who was attending the banquet, stood among the girls, and he pursed his lips when he heard the praise. His Majesty is indeed outstanding.Master often said that if the first emperor had Chu Yuan's courage, Da Qi would not be fighting everywhere, and Chu Yuan would not be under the enemy's back.
She looked at the superficial girl in the boudoir, and couldn't help smiling. Chu Yuan wasn't just good at archery and spear.Law, better at kung fu.
There are many secrets in Chu Yuan's body, and she wants to study and peel off the secrets in Chu Yuan's body layer by layer.
One day, she will become Chu Yuan's pillow.
****
Jizhou aided Youzhou, and the First World War lasted until winter. At the end of the year, he asked the court for food and clothing.
The food was sent to Shaodu the day before New Year's Eve, and the emperor canceled the palace banquet, and exchanged the saved money for food to the frontline soldiers.
On New Year's Eve, the Empress personally cooked, made steamed fish, boiled chicken soup, and some light dishes, and the food table was full.
The Empress Dowager said that she would not get sick, and she didn't want to put herself in an embarrassing situation. It was rare for her children to have time to get together, so she shouldn't get involved.
The queen went to pick up the queen mother herself, but the queen mother did not change her mind, and the queen returned lonely.
Back in the hall, Chu Yuan was already cooking wine. After the queen sat down, he poured wine for her again and said, "It's cold, drink a glass of wine to warm your body."
The queen refused to drink, and said worriedly: "The queen mother is afraid that she is dissatisfied with me."
"No, you have changed a lot, she doesn't want to get involved in our affairs." Chu Yuan comforted her, held her hand, and used his own warmth to drive away the coldness on her body, "You are so nice, she didn't I must be dissatisfied with you, what do you think?"
Chu Yuan was so gentle and caring that Li Lexi had to believe her words. The queen mother never cared about things, and the sky fell, and the emperor was there to support her.
The two drank each other, the wine was hot, and it was hot in the belly, warming up the whole body.
Li Lexi gave Chu Yuan the fish to eat, "The fish is delicious, Your Majesty should eat more."
Chu Yuan ate all the dishes she picked up, and he was full with wine and food.
When putting down the chopsticks, the wine was empty, Chu Yuan ordered the horses to be prepared, and she wanted to take the Queen of Daqi to witness the scenery of Shaodu.
The two of them did not ride in a car, but rode out of the palace on horseback and shared a ride.
Shaodu has a history of 300 years and has raised several generations of emperors. It is a place that students all over the world yearn for, and it is also a prosperous place that people most yearn for.
The wind on New Year's Eve is very cold, blowing the sleeves of clothes, dancing to a different night.
Chu Yuan hugged the queen tightly in his arms, walking from extravagance to darkness, and from darkness to prosperity.
Tonight, it is lively all night long, and the common people will come out to play for a while after dinner, and there will be fireworks in the middle of the night, which only happens once a year, attracting many common people.
The people gathered in the workshop, and everyone carried a lamp, and the bits and pieces of light became the brightest lights.
Naturally, the shopkeeper would not let go of such a good opportunity to do business. He carried his burden and peddled along the street, and the shouting became a special sound on New Year's Eve.Many children gather around the peddler, poking at the load with their hands, tugging on the peddler's sleeve to ask the price, and when they get the price, they go to tug on the cuff of their mother, asking her to come and buy.
Tonight is the day of reunion, as long as the price is not much, mother will agree.
Chu Yuan's horse stopped at the peddler's place, squinted his eyes, dismounted himself first, and then helped the queen dismount, and bought the peddler's burden with ten taels of silver.
The shopkeeper was so happy that he sold it immediately, but Chu Yuan refused to let him go: "You pick it up, you don't even want your basket, do you?"
"If you give it, the little one will naturally want it." The salesman scratched his head shyly.
Chu Yuan said to him: "If you want a burden, just follow me, and I will let you go home before midnight."
"Thank you, thank you very much." The salesman bowed his hands in thanks.
Li Lexi didn't know what she was going to do, but she didn't ask, but followed her silently.
There were quite a few people in the shop, seeing the three of them walking together, they were not surprised, and they all followed to see.
The child was not afraid of life, so when he walked up to the shopkeeper, Chu Yuan picked out a pearl flower for her, pointed to Li Lexi and asked the child, "Is she pretty?"
The child blinked, looked at Li Lexi, and nodded: "My sister is pretty."
"Then how about you praise her?" Chu Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, sister is so pretty, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." The child couldn't think of anything to say, so he had to say what his father usually said to his mother.
Li Lexi smiled, with a shy smile, turned her head unconsciously, and stopped looking.
Chu Yuan gave Zhuhua to the child and added a piece of candy.
The child was very happy, and rushed towards his mother with candy and pearl flowers.After she left, many other children followed, and Chu Yuan said the same thing.
Every child praised Li Lexi in different ways.
"When the fish sinks, the wild goose falls."
"Closing moon and shameful flowers."
"As beautiful as a goddess."
"Fantasy appearance."
The corners of Li Lexi's lips curled up when he heard this, and seeing more and more people approaching, a word of praise could be exchanged for something in the hands of the shopkeeper, who could choose at will.
Chu Yuan's behavior aroused the enthusiasm of the people, and after a while, the shopkeeper's burden was empty, and the shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear.
In half an hour, he can go home.
Li Lexi felt warm in her heart when she heard all kinds of compliments. There are often hundreds of clothes and meals, and Chu Yuan gave her "Hundreds of praises".
The people looked at the young couple enviously, envious in their hearts, and dragged their husbands over to look at them. The men were helpless and said one after another: "I will prepare it for you next time."
Next time, next time, always next time.
Li Lexi laughed when he heard that, and took the initiative to hold Chu Yuan's hand, intimacy.
Chu Yuan was also happy, and led the queen to continue walking. Suddenly, she saw a stall selling wontons, and she dragged the queen there.
"Your Majesty, don't you still want to sell wontons?" Li Lexi took Chu Yuan's hand, "I don't want to play anymore, it's almost midnight."
"I'll make wontons for you, okay?" Chu Yuan rolled up his cuffs and quietly told the queen, "I've learned it twice, so I know how to do it."
Li Lexi was surprised again, Chu Yuan was really amazing.
The two walked over, Chu Yuan gave the silver, and this place belonged to the two of them.There are ready-made wonton wrappers on the chopping board, and even the fillings are ready-made, just pack a bag and boil it in water.
Li Lexi volunteered, "I'll cook, and you make the soup."
The soup is not good and the wonton won't taste good either.
Chu Yuan agreed, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw that the queen had adjusted the cuffs, holding up the dough with her white palm, dipped some meat stuffing with a spoon in the other hand, put it on the dough, and then stuck the two sides together.Wontons are ready.
As soon as you see it, you know it will be packaged.
The queen can do it, so she doesn't care about it anymore, and concentrates on making the soup by herself.
The small stall changed owners and attracted a few customers. They looked at the two people who were unfamiliar with their movements, and their slow movements did not look like they were selling wontons.
Chu Yuan did not refuse the guests, but greeted them warmly, and made them for them with his fastest speed.
Soon, all the wontons were served on the table, and the guests took a bite suspiciously. The taste was acceptable, and they started to eat.
Five or six guests came one after another, and they looked at each other in a daze, especially Li Lexi, who pulled Chu Yuan's cuff, "Why are there so many people?"
"Zhen, I don't know, sell it or not?" Chu Yuan stared at these troublesome customers, she just wanted to cook it for the queen, these people really don't know how to taste.
Li Lexi hesitated for a while, the guests waited quietly, she was too embarrassed to drive them away, so she said: "Sell, sell."
Since they wanted to sell, the two had no choice but to speed up. Chu Yuan also went to make wontons. He didn't know how much to put in the bowl, so he weighed it.
After finally sending away a few guests, the meat filling and wonton wrappers were all used up, the two looked at each other, stunned, Li Lexi said: "I, I'm trying to adjust the meat filling, you can make wonton wrappers, okay? "
"That's the only way." Chu Yuan sighed, the wonton skin is so thin, it's too tiring to roll the dough.
The two were busy with their own business, but at some point, there was a sound from the direction of the tower, and fireworks burst into the air.
Chu Yuan paused, pulled the queen out, and pointed at the fireworks with his flour-stained fingers, "Queen, look, look."
The fireworks in the air disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then exploded again, brighter than the moon and stars.
The light of the bright moon and stars is single, and the light of fireworks is like a rainbow, more like the most wonderful picture scroll of Danqing.
Fireworks were set off, illuminating half the sky.The two stood for a long time, and then went back to the back of the booth to do their own work. The hot wontons were served, and the fireworks stopped.
Chu Yuan tasted the soup first, and found it to be average.Li Lexi also tasted it, and praised: "The soup tastes really strong."
Chu Yuan smiled, and tried another bite of wonton. The skin was thicker, and the meat filling was not as delicious as the store's.She wanted to say it was not delicious, but Li Lexi ate it with great relish, and suddenly, she felt that her goal had been achieved.
"Your Majesty, why don't you eat it?" Seeing that Chu Yuan was not moving, Li Lexi filled a wonton with his spoon and handed it to her mouth, "Your Majesty."
Chu Yuan saw himself in her eyes, and the beauty was just right, just the best time.
Chu Yuan ate the wonton fed by the queen, biting it slowly between his teeth, reluctant to swallow it.
The wonton was crumbled, but she swallowed it anyway, so she had to eat the wonton in her own bowl.
At the beginning of the new year, the two walked to the palace holding hands.The depth is more deserted, the most quiet, and the shadows under the lights slowly fit together.
"Queen, do you think I'm okay?"
"Your Majesty is naturally the best."
"The empress doesn't like me, it means I'm not the best."
"Your Majesty, liking has nothing to do with how good you are. The concubine wanted to marry King Heng, it was the order of his parents, the words of the first emperor, and later the concubine was sad because he felt that his face was damaged, and it had nothing to do with love." Li Lexi uttered his heart.Ever since she was a child, she has become the envy of the sisters in her family. King Heng is the proud son of heaven, and the son she will give birth to in the future will inherit the king's title and live in glory and wealth for the rest of his life.
When she grew up and became sensible, she was not overjoyed when she saw King Heng. King Heng gave her jewelry and clothes, and talked sweetly to make her happy.These things made her a target of public criticism. She felt that everyone was jealous, but now she understood.If you love someone, you should be able to protect her instead of making her a target of public criticism.
Chu Yuan likes to be straightforward and upright. If she loves it, she should be fully prepared so that she won't be wronged in the slightest.During the year of becoming a queen, she felt the most comfortable.
There are no sister disputes, no backyard house fights, even if the mother-in-law doesn't like it, she won't take the initiative to trouble her.
She wanted to say too much, and finally buried it in her heart, and finally, she smiled lightly.
Chu Yuan was dissatisfied, but still held her hand, "King Heng is not good, if you mess with flowers, I am different, and you are the only one."
Li Lexi chuckled, "Your Majesty is the best."
The two walked in the middle of the night, and when they arrived at the palace, the sky was dim, and they returned to the bedroom to take a bath and change clothes.
Today is the first day of the lunar new year, and all the officials are going to visit the ancestors, and the queen also needs to go with her.
Chu Yuan went to see the late emperor and turned everyone away. She knelt in front of the late emperor's spiritual seat, and the first thing she said was: "Father, I married Li Lexi, who is the concubine you appointed for King Heng."
After saying that, she laughed again, "If you were alive, you would get out of bed and beat me up in anger."
"Li Lexi is gentle and can be the mother of a country. You probably don't want to listen. Let me talk to you about political affairs. I am slowly cleaning up the mess you left behind. There are many grievances and grievances between Jiedu envoys. I think of a way Going to solve it..."
"Shaodu Ningjing, you said that as long as I get rid of Jiedushi, Daqi will prosper, but these are too difficult. I have no soldiers in my hands. Someone proposed to recruit soldiers last year. It is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do."
The emperor stayed in the hall for half a day, the courtiers waited silently, and the empress rested in the chariot.
At dusk, Chu Yuan came out with his hands behind his back, his eyes were clear, the courtiers bowed respectfully, Chu Yuan raised his head, and shouted: "Peace, all gentlemen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..." the courtier shouted.
Chu Yuan walked to the front of the chariot, the queen got out of the car and saluted her, Chu Yuan helped her up, "The queen waited hard."
"Your Majesty, are you tired?" Li Lexi couldn't help worrying, she didn't sleep all night last night, and today is another busy day, she can sleep for a while, but Chu Yuan can't get a rest.
"Not tired, go back to the palace." Chu Yuan took the queen's hand and boarded the chariot with her.When the carriage started, Chu Yuan looked back at the majestic and solemn ancestral temple, and his heart suddenly sank.
When we returned to the palace, it was dark and all the palaces were lit. The queen mother prepared dinner for the empress to eat together.
The Empress Dowager was not used to talking much, and she didn't speak much during the meal. At the end of the meal, she asked, "How is King Heng's eldest son?"
It is about Li Sansheng's son, who is now four months old.
The emperor concentrated on it, and laughed with the queen mother: "You are not good-looking, and your parents are not good-natured. They are all bad-looking and make trouble."
The queen mother raised her eyes and looked at her: "You are the only one who looks good."
"I'm good-looking and you gave it to me, don't you think so?" Chu Yuan coaxed the queen mother, went up to pour wine for her personally, and said quietly: "It's better for you to change someone."
The queen mother stretched out her hand and grabbed her ear: "With a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother, do you have a conscience?"
It must be because the queen feels that it is necessary for her daughter to veto it.
Chu Yuan was pulled to the side of his head, begging for mercy: "Just let me go, why don't you let Concubine Li bring the child into the palace tomorrow for you to have a look."
"Go away." The queen mother let go of her hand, brushed the emperor away, and left the table by herself.
Li Lexi hastily saluted and sent her off. The Queen Mother took a look at her and led Gong'e back to her bedroom without saying a word.
Chu Yuan touched his ears, walked to the queen's side, grabbed her ears without thinking, and complained: "The queen mother is angry, she said that I have a wife and forget my mother."
The author has something to say: Come on and leave a message.

"That's normal. I'll give you a string of blood jade beads." After finishing speaking, Chu Yuan took out a string of jade beads like offering treasures, pulled the lamp closer, and showed the queen a closer look. There were countless densely packed small characters on the beads.She said with a smile: "I inquired about you and found that your life is very boring. You are full of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If I want to engrave more, I can't do it. Look at the small characters on it. They are all major events that have happened over the years."
Li Lexi was shocked, she leaned against the light to look at it, but couldn't read the words on it clearly, at most she could only see the three characters Li Lexi, there was nothing else she could refute, but these were enough to make her happy.

Li Tongfu arrived, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and apologized to the empress. Chu Yuan didn't care about him, waved his hand to signal him to get up, and said slowly: "I just came back with the empress."
The implication is that there is no queen, and she will not come.

"The queen has already said, how can I not be satisfied." Chu Yuan winked at her, pampering and loving.

However, Chu Yuan took it for granted, "The emperor and empress are in harmony, and the country is very lucky."
After saying that, the arrow in his hand shot out and hit the red heart.
Everyone looked sideways, unable to tell who shot it.
With the next arrow, Chu Yuan let go of the queen and drew the bow alone. The arrow flew out and hit the red heart again.
With the last arrow, she held her breath, aimed at the first arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow split the shaft of the first arrow, and hit the target as usual.
There was no sound in the courtyard, no words to marvel.
Li Lexi didn't know how to do archery, so she could see a look called 'amazing' from the expressions of the people around her.
Chu Yuan put down his bow, walked up to the queen as if there was no one there, raised his eyebrows and asked her, "How is my archery?"
Li Lexi generously praised: "It's amazing."
Everyone watched the two sing together, and their teeth ached.
In the archery competition, different judges all know that the emperor won, and he won very well.The weak monarch in their eyes is not the weak one they saw, and his kung fu is better than ordinary generals.
After the competition, the emperor returned to the palace, leaving behind everyone who looked at each other in blank dismay.
The girls upstairs saw the demeanor of the emperor, and their hearts jumped for joy, and they chatted and laughed together.
Bai Lishu, who was attending the banquet, stood among the girls, and he pursed his lips when he heard the praise. His Majesty is indeed outstanding.Master often said that if the first emperor had Chu Yuan's courage, Da Qi would not be fighting everywhere, and Chu Yuan would not be under the enemy's back.
She looked at the superficial girl in the boudoir, and couldn't help smiling. Chu Yuan wasn't just good at archery and spear.Law, better at kung fu.
There are many secrets in Chu Yuan's body, and she wants to study and peel off the secrets in Chu Yuan's body layer by layer.
One day, she will become Chu Yuan's pillow.
****
Jizhou aided Youzhou, and the First World War lasted until winter. At the end of the year, he asked the court for food and clothing.
The food was sent to Shaodu the day before New Year's Eve, and the emperor canceled the palace banquet, and exchanged the saved money for food to the frontline soldiers.
On New Year's Eve, the Empress personally cooked, made steamed fish, boiled chicken soup, and some light dishes, and the food table was full.
The Empress Dowager said that she would not get sick, and she didn't want to put herself in an embarrassing situation. It was rare for her children to have time to get together, so she shouldn't get involved.
The queen went to pick up the queen mother herself, but the queen mother did not change her mind, and the queen returned lonely.
Back in the hall, Chu Yuan was already cooking wine. After the queen sat down, he poured wine for her again and said, "It's cold, drink a glass of wine to warm your body."
The queen refused to drink, and said worriedly: "The queen mother is afraid that she is dissatisfied with me."
"No, you have changed a lot, she doesn't want to get involved in our affairs." Chu Yuan comforted her, held her hand, and used his own warmth to drive away the coldness on her body, "You are so nice, she didn't I must be dissatisfied with you, what do you think?"
Chu Yuan was so gentle and caring that Li Lexi had to believe her words. The queen mother never cared about things, and the sky fell, and the emperor was there to support her.
The two drank each other, the wine was hot, and it was hot in the belly, warming up the whole body.
Li Lexi gave Chu Yuan the fish to eat, "The fish is delicious, Your Majesty should eat more."
Chu Yuan ate all the dishes she picked up, and he was full with wine and food.
When putting down the chopsticks, the wine was empty, Chu Yuan ordered the horses to be prepared, and she wanted to take the Queen of Daqi to witness the scenery of Shaodu.
The two of them did not ride in a car, but rode out of the palace on horseback and shared a ride.
Shaodu has a history of 300 years and has raised several generations of emperors. It is a place that students all over the world yearn for, and it is also a prosperous place that people most yearn for.
The wind on New Year's Eve is very cold, blowing the sleeves of clothes, dancing to a different night.
Chu Yuan hugged the queen tightly in his arms, walking from extravagance to darkness, and from darkness to prosperity.
Tonight, it is lively all night long, and the common people will come out to play for a while after dinner, and there will be fireworks in the middle of the night, which only happens once a year, attracting many common people.
The people gathered in the workshop, and everyone carried a lamp, and the bits and pieces of light became the brightest lights.
Naturally, the shopkeeper would not let go of such a good opportunity to do business. He carried his burden and peddled along the street, and the shouting became a special sound on New Year's Eve.Many children gather around the peddler, poking at the load with their hands, tugging on the peddler's sleeve to ask the price, and when they get the price, they go to tug on the cuff of their mother, asking her to come and buy.
Tonight is the day of reunion, as long as the price is not much, mother will agree.
Chu Yuan's horse stopped at the peddler's place, squinted his eyes, dismounted himself first, and then helped the queen dismount, and bought the peddler's burden with ten taels of silver.
The shopkeeper was so happy that he sold it immediately, but Chu Yuan refused to let him go: "You pick it up, you don't even want your basket, do you?"
"If you give it, the little one will naturally want it." The salesman scratched his head shyly.
Chu Yuan said to him: "If you want a burden, just follow me, and I will let you go home before midnight."
"Thank you, thank you very much." The salesman bowed his hands in thanks.
Li Lexi didn't know what she was going to do, but she didn't ask, but followed her silently.
There were quite a few people in the shop, seeing the three of them walking together, they were not surprised, and they all followed to see.
The child was not afraid of life, so when he walked up to the shopkeeper, Chu Yuan picked out a pearl flower for her, pointed to Li Lexi and asked the child, "Is she pretty?"
The child blinked, looked at Li Lexi, and nodded: "My sister is pretty."
"Then how about you praise her?" Chu Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, sister is so pretty, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." The child couldn't think of anything to say, so he had to say what his father usually said to his mother.
Li Lexi smiled, with a shy smile, turned her head unconsciously, and stopped looking.
Chu Yuan gave Zhuhua to the child and added a piece of candy.
The child was very happy, and rushed towards his mother with candy and pearl flowers.After she left, many other children followed, and Chu Yuan said the same thing.
Every child praised Li Lexi in different ways.
"When the fish sinks, the wild goose falls."
"Closing moon and shameful flowers."
"As beautiful as a goddess."
"Fantasy appearance."
The corners of Li Lexi's lips curled up when he heard this, and seeing more and more people approaching, a word of praise could be exchanged for something in the hands of the shopkeeper, who could choose at will.
Chu Yuan's behavior aroused the enthusiasm of the people, and after a while, the shopkeeper's burden was empty, and the shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear.
In half an hour, he can go home.
Li Lexi felt warm in her heart when she heard all kinds of compliments. There are often hundreds of clothes and meals, and Chu Yuan gave her "Hundreds of praises".
The people looked at the young couple enviously, envious in their hearts, and dragged their husbands over to look at them. The men were helpless and said one after another: "I will prepare it for you next time."
Next time, next time, always next time.
Li Lexi laughed when he heard that, and took the initiative to hold Chu Yuan's hand, intimacy.
Chu Yuan was also happy, and led the queen to continue walking. Suddenly, she saw a stall selling wontons, and she dragged the queen there.
"Your Majesty, don't you still want to sell wontons?" Li Lexi took Chu Yuan's hand, "I don't want to play anymore, it's almost midnight."
"I'll make wontons for you, okay?" Chu Yuan rolled up his cuffs and quietly told the queen, "I've learned it twice, so I know how to do it."
Li Lexi was surprised again, Chu Yuan was really amazing.
The two walked over, Chu Yuan gave the silver, and this place belonged to the two of them.There are ready-made wonton wrappers on the chopping board, and even the fillings are ready-made, just pack a bag and boil it in water.
Li Lexi volunteered, "I'll cook, and you make the soup."
The soup is not good and the wonton won't taste good either.
Chu Yuan agreed, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw that the queen had adjusted the cuffs, holding up the dough with her white palm, dipped some meat stuffing with a spoon in the other hand, put it on the dough, and then stuck the two sides together.Wontons are ready.
As soon as you see it, you know it will be packaged.
The queen can do it, so she doesn't care about it anymore, and concentrates on making the soup by herself.
The small stall changed owners and attracted a few customers. They looked at the two people who were unfamiliar with their movements, and their slow movements did not look like they were selling wontons.
Chu Yuan did not refuse the guests, but greeted them warmly, and made them for them with his fastest speed.
Soon, all the wontons were served on the table, and the guests took a bite suspiciously. The taste was acceptable, and they started to eat.
Five or six guests came one after another, and they looked at each other in a daze, especially Li Lexi, who pulled Chu Yuan's cuff, "Why are there so many people?"
"Zhen, I don't know, sell it or not?" Chu Yuan stared at these troublesome customers, she just wanted to cook it for the queen, these people really don't know how to taste.
Li Lexi hesitated for a while, the guests waited quietly, she was too embarrassed to drive them away, so she said: "Sell, sell."
Since they wanted to sell, the two had no choice but to speed up. Chu Yuan also went to make wontons. He didn't know how much to put in the bowl, so he weighed it.
After finally sending away a few guests, the meat filling and wonton wrappers were all used up, the two looked at each other, stunned, Li Lexi said: "I, I'm trying to adjust the meat filling, you can make wonton wrappers, okay? "
"That's the only way." Chu Yuan sighed, the wonton skin is so thin, it's too tiring to roll the dough.
The two were busy with their own business, but at some point, there was a sound from the direction of the tower, and fireworks burst into the air.
Chu Yuan paused, pulled the queen out, and pointed at the fireworks with his flour-stained fingers, "Queen, look, look."
The fireworks in the air disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then exploded again, brighter than the moon and stars.
The light of the bright moon and stars is single, and the light of fireworks is like a rainbow, more like the most wonderful picture scroll of Danqing.
Fireworks were set off, illuminating half the sky.The two stood for a long time, and then went back to the back of the booth to do their own work. The hot wontons were served, and the fireworks stopped.
Chu Yuan tasted the soup first, and found it to be average.Li Lexi also tasted it, and praised: "The soup tastes really strong."
Chu Yuan smiled, and tried another bite of wonton. The skin was thicker, and the meat filling was not as delicious as the store's.She wanted to say it was not delicious, but Li Lexi ate it with great relish, and suddenly, she felt that her goal had been achieved.
"Your Majesty, why don't you eat it?" Seeing that Chu Yuan was not moving, Li Lexi filled a wonton with his spoon and handed it to her mouth, "Your Majesty."
Chu Yuan saw himself in her eyes, and the beauty was just right, just the best time.
Chu Yuan ate the wonton fed by the queen, biting it slowly between his teeth, reluctant to swallow it.
The wonton was crumbled, but she swallowed it anyway, so she had to eat the wonton in her own bowl.
At the beginning of the new year, the two walked to the palace holding hands.The depth is more deserted, the most quiet, and the shadows under the lights slowly fit together.
"Queen, do you think I'm okay?"
"Your Majesty is naturally the best."
"The empress doesn't like me, it means I'm not the best."
"Your Majesty, liking has nothing to do with how good you are. The concubine wanted to marry King Heng, it was the order of his parents, the words of the first emperor, and later the concubine was sad because he felt that his face was damaged, and it had nothing to do with love." Li Lexi uttered his heart.Ever since she was a child, she has become the envy of the sisters in her family. King Heng is the proud son of heaven, and the son she will give birth to in the future will inherit the king's title and live in glory and wealth for the rest of his life.
When she grew up and became sensible, she was not overjoyed when she saw King Heng. King Heng gave her jewelry and clothes, and talked sweetly to make her happy.These things made her a target of public criticism. She felt that everyone was jealous, but now she understood.If you love someone, you should be able to protect her instead of making her a target of public criticism.
Chu Yuan likes to be straightforward and upright. If she loves it, she should be fully prepared so that she won't be wronged in the slightest.During the year of becoming a queen, she felt the most comfortable.
There are no sister disputes, no backyard house fights, even if the mother-in-law doesn't like it, she won't take the initiative to trouble her.
She wanted to say too much, and finally buried it in her heart, and finally, she smiled lightly.
Chu Yuan was dissatisfied, but still held her hand, "King Heng is not good, if you mess with flowers, I am different, and you are the only one."
Li Lexi chuckled, "Your Majesty is the best."
The two walked in the middle of the night, and when they arrived at the palace, the sky was dim, and they returned to the bedroom to take a bath and change clothes.
Today is the first day of the lunar new year, and all the officials are going to visit the ancestors, and the queen also needs to go with her.
Chu Yuan went to see the late emperor and turned everyone away. She knelt in front of the late emperor's spiritual seat, and the first thing she said was: "Father, I married Li Lexi, who is the concubine you appointed for King Heng."
After saying that, she laughed again, "If you were alive, you would get out of bed and beat me up in anger."
"Li Lexi is gentle and can be the mother of a country. You probably don't want to listen. Let me talk to you about political affairs. I am slowly cleaning up the mess you left behind. There are many grievances and grievances between Jiedu envoys. I think of a way Going to solve it..."
"Shaodu Ningjing, you said that as long as I get rid of Jiedushi, Daqi will prosper, but these are too difficult. I have no soldiers in my hands. Someone proposed to recruit soldiers last year. It is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do."
The emperor stayed in the hall for half a day, the courtiers waited silently, and the empress rested in the chariot.
At dusk, Chu Yuan came out with his hands behind his back, his eyes were clear, the courtiers bowed respectfully, Chu Yuan raised his head, and shouted: "Peace, all gentlemen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..." the courtier shouted.
Chu Yuan walked to the front of the chariot, the queen got out of the car and saluted her, Chu Yuan helped her up, "The queen waited hard."
"Your Majesty, are you tired?" Li Lexi couldn't help worrying, she didn't sleep all night last night, and today is another busy day, she can sleep for a while, but Chu Yuan can't get a rest.
"Not tired, go back to the palace." Chu Yuan took the queen's hand and boarded the chariot with her.When the carriage started, Chu Yuan looked back at the majestic and solemn ancestral temple, and his heart suddenly sank.
When we returned to the palace, it was dark and all the palaces were lit. The queen mother prepared dinner for the empress to eat together.
The Empress Dowager was not used to talking much, and she didn't speak much during the meal. At the end of the meal, she asked, "How is King Heng's eldest son?"
It is about Li Sansheng's son, who is now four months old.
The emperor concentrated on it, and laughed with the queen mother: "You are not good-looking, and your parents are not good-natured. They are all bad-looking and make trouble."
The queen mother raised her eyes and looked at her: "You are the only one who looks good."
"I'm good-looking and you gave it to me, don't you think so?" Chu Yuan coaxed the queen mother, went up to pour wine for her personally, and said quietly: "It's better for you to change someone."
The queen mother stretched out her hand and grabbed her ear: "With a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother, do you have a conscience?"
It must be because the queen feels that it is necessary for her daughter to veto it.
Chu Yuan was pulled to the side of his head, begging for mercy: "Just let me go, why don't you let Concubine Li bring the child into the palace tomorrow for you to have a look."
"Go away." The queen mother let go of her hand, brushed the emperor away, and left the table by herself.
Li Lexi hastily saluted and sent her off. The Queen Mother took a look at her and led Gong'e back to her bedroom without saying a word.
Chu Yuan touched his ears, walked to the queen's side, grabbed her ears without thinking, and complained: "The queen mother is angry, she said that I have a wife and forget my mother."
The author has something to say: Come on and leave a message.
