such as Yue Linyuan

Before the grand ceremony of the first month, no matter how big or small the palace people are, the stewards or ordinary palace ladies and eunuchs, they are all very busy.

It's just that after Chu Yuezhi fell ill some time ago, he began to slow down and stopped burying himself in piles of state affairs all day long.

Si Yuanting was happy to see Chu Yuezhi's changes, and even accompanied Chu Yuezhi to the hunting grounds a few times.I have to admit that Chu Yuezhi is really good at hunting, and he narrowly won in the end several times.

On the first day of the first lunar month in late January, which was also the day when the first lunar month ceremony was held, all officials paid New Year greetings to Chu Yuezhi, and all ministers who were high enough to enter the palace were rewarded.

The first day of the new year means the beginning of a new year, and everyone in the capital celebrates and welcomes the arrival of the new year together that night.

It's just that most of them didn't expect that at the first month ceremony, the new emperor would fight wine with all the officials on a whim, not to mention that whoever can knock him down will get a big reward.

Having said that, few of the officials in the palace dared to fight wine with the emperor. Important officials like Wu Yonglian and Xia Zhiyi were self-restraining and respectful and did not dare to overstep. Xing and the others had just offended the emperor, so naturally they would not go into trouble again, so they stood and drank with Chu Yue in the end, except for Si Yuanting, only Wei Yunxiao, because Zhou Ji was the commander of the imperial guards , can only be greedy and unable to join it.

Fu Xingyun's drinking capacity is better than Wei Yunxiao's, but he won't lose his temper in front of the hall, not to mention he has to take home Wei Yunxiao who was drunk at the end, so naturally he won't drink too much.

Therefore, although the courtiers in the hall were amazed at Chu Yuezhi's drinking capacity, they finally watched Si Yuanting receive the reward as expected.

When Chu Yuezhi issued an order to reward Si Yuanting, Fu Xingyun glanced at Wei Yunxiao, who was lying on the table beside him drunk, and really felt that his wife was a bit stupid.Chu Yuezhi wanted to fight wine with all the officials, but in the end it was just a pretext to reward Si Yuanting. In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, apart from Wei Yunxiao, who is so weak, and Si Yuanting, who has a gold medal for avoiding death, which one is so big? If you have the guts, I'm afraid you will die.

In the past when he was in the military camp, Chu Yuezhi would also drink with his soldiers, and his drinking capacity was trained at that time, and in the military camp, there were so many times of life and death, and the brotherhood between the soldiers was deep, and there were not so many. There is red tape, and sometimes the excitement comes from drinking too much, and there are also a few games with shirtless.And at that time, they all drank from bowls, or directly from wine jugs.

It's just another scene to face all the officials in the palace.

Chu Yuezhi took this opportunity to observe the few ministers who drank with him a few times. Later, only Wei Yunxiao and Si Yuanting drank with him. In the end, only Si Yuanting was worried about him. Drinking too much hurts the body while slowly drinking with him one by one.

In the end, when Chu Yuezhi waved his hand and said no to drinking, and ordered to give Si Yuanting a reward, although his face was not red, his eyes were indeed foggy. When he withdrew from the first month ceremony, Chu Yuezhi didn't ask Wang Zhong to help him. After walking steadily in the palace for a while, he suddenly stood on the blue brick road back to Xiefang Hall and said to Wang Zhong: "Wang Zhong, do you know that when I was young, I liked walking this blue brick road the most? Brick road, but now, every time I walk this green brick road, I just feel disgusted."

It was this blue brick road that he walked with Si Yuanting countless times, and it was also on this blue brick road that he lost Si Yuanting, and he was alone for a long time afterwards.

Wang Zhong didn't dare to answer indiscriminately, he just stood behind Chu Yuezhi and half bowed.

Si Yuanting will be able to return to Xiefang Hall later, because he has to greet some ministers and maintain the relationship with the court, so he can't leave the meeting with Chu Yuezhi.What's more, Si Yuanting lived with Chu Yuezhi in the palace, and that was a secret that could not be spread outside. The palace was ruled like an iron bucket, news and gossip could not be spread, and the rumors that could leak out were all intentional. If anyone in the palace dared to speak out about the secrets of the palace, most of them would die before they finished speaking.

Chu Yuezhi didn't tell Si Yuanting what he said to Wang Zhong, he didn't like to mention those things, and driving around on weekdays would often make people take a detour.Maybe he drank too much tonight, so he walked this way by himself.

It is still winter now, and there will be snow every few days, so the road will inevitably be a little slippery. Standing there, Chu Yuezhi looked down at the splashed uppers of his shoes. It gradually cooled down.It was as if the blood was burning with enthusiasm at first, and then it was completely cooled by cold water.

Wearing a big cloak on his body, Chu Yuezhi just stood there for a while, until his body was completely cold, and the drunkenness in his eyes had long since disappeared, then he said again: "Wang Zhong, it's a new year, but why do I feel that , and nothing to be happy about."

After sitting on this supreme throne, he felt lonely.

Sometimes, even looking at Si Yuanting feels lonely.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I feel that it is normal for this life to be unhappy. The new year is often said to be a new beginning, but I don't think so. How can there be so many new starts? They are all self-consolation. But Your Majesty, you have Your Majesty, the Empress, and the eldest son by your side. Although there is nothing to be happy about, you are definitely not alone in this palace. There is also a servant behind your majesty. Although the servant is just a useless eunuch, but This servant also swore to be loyal to His Majesty for the rest of his life." It was rare for Wang Zhong to have the courage to speak to Chu Yuezhi. He looked clean and handsome, but his cheeks were flushed from the cold, but his pure black eyes were shining brightly. Yes, boldly raised his head to look at Chu Yuezhi, his eyes were full of loyalty.

Chu Yuezhi raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and there seemed to be a little smile on his originally cold expression, he looked sideways at Wang Zhong and said: "It's rare that you can say such a thing with such a cautious temperament, and you can't say that." You don't need to be loyal to me, just be loyal to Si Jiu." After a pause, he continued: "It seems that I didn't give you any rewards, it's a big Chinese New Year, anyway, I will order to reward you with something else later."

Hearing that there was a reward, Wang Zhong couldn't help showing a little joy on his face, and hastily bowed his head to thank His Majesty: "My servant thanks His Majesty for your gift, Your Majesty is benevolent, and this servant is loyal to His Majesty from the bottom of my heart."

"Okay, let's leave it at that." Chu Yuezhi knew that Si Yuanting had a good eye for picking people, and it must have been Si Yuanting's deliberate decision to let Wang Zhong follow him. He is also alert and careful enough, and although he is timid, he is loyal to the Lord without too much ambition. With such a person serving by his side, he can occasionally hear a few words of comfort like this moment.

The green brick road in front of him was extremely long, with unmelted snow piled up on both sides. Chu Yuezhi frowned slightly and looked a little longer, still feeling uncomfortable and even flustered. Xiupao turned around and planned to take another route back to Xiefang Hall.

Just turning around and not even taking a step, Chu Yuezhi saw Si Yuanting walking towards him slowly with a lantern in his hand in the night.

Still wearing an official uniform, Si Yuanting walked past the palace servants and guards who followed Chu Yuezhi step by step, walked straight to Chu Yuezhi, took his hand hanging by his side into his palm, and said: " He was disobedient and didn't bring a hand stove, and his hands were cold."

"Why did you leave the meeting so quickly? Didn't you say you'll stay for a while?" Chu Yuezhi was a little taken aback. He really didn't expect Si Yuanting to come back so soon. He thought that Si Yuanting would have to delay tonight. so late.

"What nonsense?" Naturally holding Chu Yuezhi's hand and walking forward together, Si Yuanting said, "On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, I naturally want to be with Chu Qi."

Lostly led for a few steps, Chu Yuezhi remembered the past and stopped, grabbed Si Yuanting and said, "Si Jiu, let's not go this way, let's go the other way."

Handing the lantern in his hand to Wang Zhong, Si Yuanting raised his right hand and made a gesture in the air. Immediately, two rows of hidden guards appeared behind him. Both sides moved forward together, and two rows of welcoming lanterns lit up on this long green brick road. The orange red of the lanterns and the red tiles on the palace wall reflected each other, illuminating the whole blue brick road, not only dispelling the The darkness seems to have eliminated the severe cold hidden in the darkness.

Chu Yuezhi looked at Qingzhuan Road who suddenly became festive, and he couldn't react for a while and said in astonishment: "What is this..."

"I'll give you a little surprise. I can't always be the one who surprises me." Si Yuan raised his lips and smiled slightly. He held Chu Yuezhi's hand and raised it up, and asked, "Would you like to walk with me, or Do you want me to pick you up here and bring you back to Xie Fang Hall?"

Chu Yuezhi drank a lot of wine at the New Year's Ceremony, and his face was already flushed. At this moment, when he suddenly saw Si Yuanting receiving a surprise, his cheeks were even redder than before, and the corners of his eyes and brows were full of shame, which had just faded away. The drunkenness seemed to surge up again, he looked at Si Yuanting with a flushed face, and whispered: "What are you doing, the palace people are all watching."

Si Yuanting saw no one else but Chu Yuezhi, he let go of Chu Yuezhi's hand, bent down and picked him up.The difference in height between the two of them is obviously not too big. Because Chu Yuezhi has always maintained the habit of daily martial arts, his body is compact and lean, and his weight is not too light. Chu Yuezhi hugged him, even if he wanted to carry Chu Yuezhi for a while, he didn't blush or breathe.

Chu Yuezhi was caught off guard and was hugged in public again, his peach blossom eyes were wide open, he was obviously happy but he felt embarrassed, and felt that he lost the face and majesty of the emperor in front of people like this, so he held back for a long time before he could say: " Don't be like this all the time, I feel so ashamed."

"But Si Jiu likes this." Si Yuanting loves Chu Yuezhi's shy and cute expressions so much, he hugged Chu Yuezhi and walked forward, walking on the green brick road illuminated by the lantern, every step was extremely fast Steady, he looked down at Chu Yuezhi who stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, and said, "Si Jiu will accompany Chu Qi on this journey, so let's let go of the past."

He has always known that Chu Yuezhi has a heart for this green brick road, but in fact, he used to take this green brick road every time he came to Xiefang Hall late at night.

At that time, this green brick road carried the most memories of him and Chu Yuezhi. What he remembered most was never how he was destroyed on this green brick road, but how he and Chu Yuezhi had spent more than a year. Every memory I walked hand in hand with the young Chu Yuezhi.

Pressing a wine-scented kiss on Chu Yuezhi's lips, and gently rubbing Chu Yuezhi's with the tip of his nose, Si Yuanting continued to walk steadily forward with his arms in his arms, saying: "Si Jiu I failed to welcome Chu Qi with red makeup, but now in the palace, I am lighting a lamp for Chu Qi on this blue brick road, and also illuminate the long road ahead for Chu Qi."

Glancing at the red brick road in front of him, Chu Yuezhi felt that his chest was full of warm love that he couldn't hold back, exhaled a mouthful of white mist, Chu Yuezhi hugged Si Yuanting's neck and leaned his head against it. On his shoulder, he said with peace of mind: "Well, let it go, as long as Si Jiu stays by Chu Qi's side well, Chu Qi will not be afraid of anything."
