The third day of March this year is Yan Sui's 21st birthday. Before the east tour, I originally wanted to make up for the regrets of the previous 20 years and hold a big event.

However, during a tour to the east, how many people went with them, but when they came back, they seemed to be single.

A few months ago, Yan Ji's coffin was sent to Anzhou, and he was buried with Hu Lai after he finished making the glass right arm. Yan Sui heard the news that he wanted to go to Anzhou for the funeral in person, but he was very sad and fell seriously ill, so he couldn't see him again Brother last side.

It seems that the illness has not been cured until now, Yan Sui would think of his relatives who were ill-fated, and shed tears without realizing it.

The funeral of the old prince and Yan Ji has not yet passed, and the frontline battle has not yet settled, Yan Sui has been depressed for a long time, and has no intention of celebrating his birthday.

The repeated wind and cold made him more lazy to move around. In the early morning, except for the imperial study, he would nest in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, leaning against the window sill and staring at the sky without saying a word.

It's already spring, why is it still so cold?He is far away in the north, the iron clothes are colder, right?There are already so many people who can't come back, he must come back.When does he come back?

After nightfall, Yan Sui fell asleep wrapped in a quilt in the Qianyong Hall, and faintly heard the cry of the child, but when he listened carefully, there was no sound.

After returning to Beijing, the two children were raised in Qianyong Hall, and Yan Sui took care of them personally.Babies who are less than four months old, Yan Sui is already teaching them to call "Daddy".Shi Yi and Pian Pian are probably the luckiest children in the world. They have three fathers who love them. Yan Sui thought, wait for the cousin and Jia Shi to return home, and then make up for the children for a hundred days, so that they can compensate the cousin for not being born. My child's regret.

However, the cousin could not come back.

Some of the ministers in Beijing had already seen the children, and they recognized the appearance of the royal family clearly, and had no objection to their background.Recently, Yan Ji died on the battlefield to serve the country loyally, and the position of King Zheng was once again vacant, and the courtiers did not write a letter to allow Yan Xu to inherit the throne of King Zheng, what they needed was a crown prince.

It is clear that everything is going according to the established plan, why are you still so sad?

Yan Sui's tears flowed uncontrollably, the warm quilt was wet into an ice cellar, and his whole body was trembling.

In less than a year, Yan Sui had a lover and a pair of children, besides Yan Zhi, he had two nephews.The old prince and his cousin appeared and disappeared briefly, leaving a heart-wrenching pain to their loved ones.

It is difficult to define whether relatives are related by blood, and family members are not connected by flesh and blood.

In terms of father and son, Yan Sui has never enjoyed the paternal love from his biological father in his life, and sitting and fishing with the old prince satisfied all his expectations about his father.

In terms of brothers, Brother Huang is tolerant and magnanimous, but it is the same for everyone; he has a clear calculation in his heart, and it is the same for everyone.But the cousin will not care about gains and losses, and will sacrifice his life for the sake of Yan Sui, and the brotherhood is like this.

But they are gone.

Yan Sui bit the corner of the quilt tightly to prevent himself from crying.

The family left one by one, and the loneliness in this world was terrifying.

Yan Sui cried until he fell asleep, his dream was a vast expanse of whiteness, he couldn't see anything, only heard someone saying "Happy birthday".

It seems that there are the voices of the ancestors, the voice of the queen mother, the voice of the emperor's brother, the voice of the old prince, the voice of the cousin... only there is no Xu Jia's voice——

Only the dead can dream.Xu Jiashi won't be with them, that's right!

Yan Sui woke up almost instantly, uncovered the quilt profusely in sweat, and looked up to see Shuangshun standing in front of the bed holding a medicine bowl.

Looking sideways out of the window, it was almost dawn, the continuous rain had just stopped, there was water under the eaves, and there were shallow puddles on the bluestone slabs.

"Your Majesty, take a sip of the medicine. The servant tried it, it's not bitter..."

Yan Sui suddenly withdrew his eyes and looked at Shuangshun fixedly. The familiar language of this familiar scene... Yan Sui got out of bed and ran outside the hall: "Is Jia Shi back?!"

Shuangshun quickly picked up his shoes, socks and fox fur and chased after him: "Your Majesty, put on your shoes! The army is going to return to the court, but the prince didn't come back so soon."

Yan Sui stopped and stopped at the entrance of the Qianyong Hall.

Sleepy.

It has been three years since Changping, and we have been separated from Xu Jiashi for nearly four months. He is defending against the enemy in the frontier, not in Jiangzhou for disaster relief.

He led the army to return triumphantly. Before arriving in Beijing, he would send someone to give a report first, and then the emperor went to the Meridian Gate to greet him in person.

Time cannot be turned back.

Looking back on the past year, it was like a dream.

There have been too many changes in one year, and too many people have come and gone in Yan Sui's life, as if nothing can stay.

Last year, Yan Sui was looking forward to Xu Jiashi's return to Beijing day and night. He knew that the reciprocity would be duplicity and sharp words, but he still looked forward to it with hope.

This year, I am still looking forward to him.

But full of thoughts, I want to tell him the truth, tell him how much I miss and care about him.

Yan Sui was suddenly overwhelmed by great sadness and worry, nothing will happen to him, right?Why hasn't he come back yet?When will you be back?If he doesn't come back, the children will hardly know him.

I miss him so much.

Shuangshun bent over to put shoes and socks on Yan Sui's feet, but no matter what he said, Yan Sui just stood still.Shuangshun sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, the wind and cold are not good, so the cold will worsen. The prince will feel distressed when he finds out."

Only then did Yan Sui come back to his senses.

Shuangshun brought out Xu Jiashi to make Yan Sui drink medicine, but the explanation was different from last year.

Yan Sui fell asleep with his head covered and sweated a lot last night. The wind and cold had almost recovered, but he still drank the medicine and sat silently for a while: "Isn't today the third day of junior high school?"

Shuangshun nodded: "Return to Your Majesty, that's right. Today is His Majesty's Birthday and Longevity Day."

"Is the banquet cancelled?"

"Yes, His Majesty ordered not to make a fuss, so the Supervisor of Ceremonies kept everything simple."

"Okay." Yan Sui suppressed his sour emotions, stood up, and said slowly, "Are the children awake? I'll go and see."

Shuang Shun followed Yan Sui: "Your Majesty, you forgot that you have been infected with the cold for the past two days, and you are afraid that it will be passed on to your Highness. The old prince took your Highnesses out of the palace, and they are still in Wu Palace."

Yan Sui let out an "oh", and has been in a daze for the past few days, as if he heard the emperor tell him about this, and then he walked back to the gate of Qianyong Hall and said, "Then wait for the emperor to send the child back."

Shuangshun blinked: "Your Majesty, today is not only the Longevity Festival, but also the Shangsi Festival. There are many folk activities. Your Majesty has been working hard since returning to Beijing. Being bored like this is not conducive to recuperating. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Yan Sui looked at Shuangshun: "What did the emperor tell you? Is there something wrong with the children?"

Shuangshun tightened his scalp, thinking that His Majesty is really astute, deceiving the emperor is a serious crime, should you tell the truth?

When he was hesitating, Yan Sui said: "Perhaps Jingyun has played some tricks again. He has long wanted to congratulate me on his birthday. Give him a ride—no, just ask Shi Zhang to bring a few people to follow, and go to Wu Wangfu."

On the way to Prince Wu's Mansion, Shuangshun found everything new and strange, looking around——

I saw passers-by on the street put on spring clothes, brightly dressed, and snacks made of colored rice and fragrant orchids were placed on the stalls-there is a folk tradition of expelling evil spirits and avoiding diseases by taking a bath in orchid soup on the day of Shangsi.

There are also many people wearing red clothes and carrying scented wax to the suburbs of Beijing.They are going to sacrifice to the God of Gaozhen, in order to protect the marriage and benefit the offspring.

The capital is bustling and bustling, the streets are bustling with people, and everyone's faces are full of joy, rejoicing that the festival and the war are coming to an end.

Yan Sui vaguely saw a familiar face among the crowd dressed in red, but he couldn't see it when he looked carefully.

Yan Sui shook his head, Cui Jian had already lived a life of seclusion with Xue Rong, how could he come here.

Soon they arrived at King Wu's mansion, but Yan Sui was in vain.

Contrary to expectations, the palace did not plan to congratulate him, and even King Wu was not in the palace.His daughter Yan Fang, Princess of Yongjia, handed over a roll of thin thread to Yan Sui, saying that her father had given it to her.

Yan Sui asked King Wu where he took the children, and Yan Fang said that they were in Yong'an Wangfu, and Yong'an Wang missed his younger brothers and sisters very much.

Hearing that Yan Sui is more and more sure that the little guy Yan Zhi arranged it, he always has novel ideas.

Fortunately, Yong'an Prince's Mansion is not far from Wu Wang's Mansion, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to walk there.When Yan Sui left the palace, his mood was not as dull as before, he waited patiently to see what his nephew had prepared for him.

But when he got there, he didn't see the uncle and nephew again.

Zhang Dian gestured and told Yan Sui that the old prince and His Highness took the two young Highnesses to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Yan Sui couldn't understand their cunning drama.

There is no birthday day that teases the birthday star to go around in circles.

Zhang Dian handed Yan Sui a tube of mottled bamboo, and Yan Sui asked if it was left by Jing Yun. Zhang Dian nodded and wrote in the palm of Yan Sui: "Today's Longevity Day, the old prince and His Highness have prepared a congratulatory gift for His Majesty, but His Majesty has to fish it yourself. Come up."

Congratulations?Fish it yourself?

The gift Yan Sui wanted most was a reunion.

Holding the mottled bamboo, his heart suddenly tightened, could it be—

It would take at least an hour to walk or take a sedan chair to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and Yan Sui couldn't wait.

Shi Zhang, who had been following silently, led the horse: "Your Majesty, there is no need to hang fish on the hook this time. It should belong to His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely catch it."

Yan Sui had never ridden a horse outside the paddock, took the reins, and recognized that this horse was the one that Xu Jiashi taught him to ride.

Yan Sui got on his horse and quickly walked through the long streets and alleys.Getting off the horse, he almost ran into the gate of the palace, and when he looked up, he saw King Wu and Yan Zhi holding a child alone.

Yan Zhi hugged Shi Yi, stepped forward, and smiled and called to the emperor's uncle: "My brother and sister have something to give to the emperor's uncle."

Yan Sui was sweating all over, panting to see his son's tightly clenched little hands holding a piece of red cloth, which was untied layer by layer, and it turned out to be a shiny fishhook.

The fishing line, fishing rod, and hook are enough for Yan Sui to catch his birthday present by himself.

Tears filled Yan Sui's eyes instantly, and his voice was hoarse: "It's only March, how cold the water is..."

Yan Zhiren's little ghost smiled narrowly: "It's quite cold, if the emperor doesn't go fishing again, I will change to a new emperor uncle." Holding Shi Yi's little hand, "The younger brothers and sisters also need to change stepfathers. Brand new stepfather, hehe."

"You, I'll settle the score with you later!" Yan Sui wiped away tears and laughed, and ran to the pond quickly.

Spring water is like a mirror.

Yan Sui threw the hastily assembled fishing rod towards the center of the pond, only to realize that there was no float or sinker, it was so simple that it couldn't be thrown far.The hook was not fastened again, and Yoyo sank to the bottom, leaving only the fishing line floating on the water.

The surface of the water is calm, and it seems that the water is also calm.

Yan Sui was so anxious that he wanted to jump down, but suddenly the water rippled, Xu Jiashi jumped up from the water with a box in his arms, and landed wetly in front of Yan Sui.

"Your Majesty caught it, do you like this birthday gift?" Xu Jiashi stared deeply at Yan Sui, "Your Majesty, I'm back."

Yan Sui burst into tears instantly, and threw himself into his drenched embrace without hesitation: "I was scared to death! How long have you been in the water! What to do if you get frozen or drowned! Why don't you tell me if you have already returned to Beijing? I don't know how much I miss you, I..."

The war is cruel, the front line faces casualties, and the rear is worried day and night.But Yan Sui can't show a weak side, he must stabilize the overall situation, so that those who fight on the front line have no worries.

The loneliness and grief accumulated for several months broke out in an instant, Yan Sui was wronged and said incoherently: "I, I miss you so much... You lied to me, you made me go around in circles, I walked for a long time before seeing you... You, you... I, I will punish you for deceiving the king!"

"Okay, I plead guilty." Xu Jiashi's eyelashes still had crystal drops of water, he held Yan Sui's hand, and kissed the back of it lightly, "However, it is the regent who deceived the king, and the queen should not be punished."

Yan Sui looked at him with tears in his eyes, Xu Jiashi took a step back and knelt on one knee, his whole body was drenched, with a thin fishing line tied around his waist - his whole body was a birthday gift caught by Yan Sui.

Xu Jiashi held the phoenix seal with one hand, and the ring bent from the bottom-sinking fishhook with the other.

"Nonsense, they ask for marriage before they get married, and they need a ring." Xu Jiashi stared at Yan Sui, his eyes full of warmth, "Your Majesty, Sui Sui, Qitai, Xu Lian is abrupt and domineering, and he has been in love for a long time. I proposed to you only after the child was born—do you want me? Are you willing to marry me and make me your queen?"
