No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 377 Love
This New Year's Eve palace banquet went very smoothly, it can also be called dull.

There is no unexpected situation, and there is no bloody plot.Everyone at the banquet looked festive to welcome the New Year, but the appropriate festiveness always made people feel a little unreal.

But no one cares about these, and people still play their respective roles in their respective positions.To participate in this annual grand event, of course, I sincerely hope that after today's year, all the bad things will disappear.

After all, Xie Cheng was young, so he was sent back to bed early.

Luo Junyao and Xie Yan had to sit at the banquet all the time, watching the new year with everyone.

At the turn of midnight, gorgeous fireworks were lit above the palace, almost covering the entire palace under a blinding light.

All the people in the hall stood up and congratulated the regent and princess on the new year.

Afterwards, young people who were still young flocked outside the palace to enjoy the fireworks, while older people who were not in good spirits were ready to leave the palace.

Tonight is the only day in the entire year when the palace gates are not locked. Those who want to go home after the New Year's Eve can naturally go home and rest. Young people who don't want to go home can also stay in the palace. Continue to feast and have fun in the palace, or go out of the palace together to play and play in the city.

Not only will the palace not be locked tonight, but the entire imperial city will be lively all night long.

Luo Junyao had been a little sleepy for a long time, and Xie Yan dragged some of the older officials' wives away, and went in the direction of Chenyou Palace.

It's too late, and tomorrow morning they have to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager, so they will also rest in the palace tonight.

The two walked forward holding hands, the fireworks not far behind were still blooming.Accompanied by the dazzling fireworks and the sound of bang bang, it made the palace very lively in the middle of the night.

"Shall we leave like this?" Luo Junyao looked up at Xie Yan and asked.

Xie Yan said: "Of course someone will be responsible for the rest, don't worry, isn't Yaoyao sleepy?"

Luo Junyao couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, nodded his head and muttered: "I'm really a little sleepy, I haven't felt so tired for a long time."

This kind of tiredness is definitely not physical tiredness, no matter how you host this kind of banquet, it is impossible to be tired from practicing martial arts.But the more you practice martial arts, the more energetic you become. Hosting this kind of banquet is really getting more and more exhausting, which is a kind of exhaustion that rises from the heart.

Luo Junyao felt that maybe he would never be like many wives in this life who are keen on holding various banquets.

Xie Yan chuckled, and said, "It's been hard work."

Luo Junyao couldn't help but said: "You don't seem to feel tired at all." She had to deal with so many wives, and Xie Yan also had to deal with the ministers in the court.Those wives at most talked about trivial things, things about the family and the family, she didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't hear it.But what those officials want to say is not that you can ignore it if you are in a bad mood.

Xie Yan said calmly: "Generally, no one would talk nonsense in front of me."

Luo Jun shook his eyebrows slightly, tilted his head and looked at him carefully for a long time, then nodded and smiled and said: "That's right, they must want to keep what they want to say within three sentences, and the farther away from you the better."

This was not because Luo Junyao was teasing Xie Yan, but because he told a fact.

Although Luo Junyao felt that Xie Yan was good-looking and good-tempered, everything was good, but in the eyes of most people in the court, Xie Yan was not like this image.

Five years ago, the rebellion of the Three Kings was a little farther away, but just this time, King Ning's rebellion made many people feel afraid of Xie Yan.

King Ning’s rebellion is his own courting death, that’s right, but King Ning has been fine for the past few years, and your regent has only been back for a few months—King Ning’s rebellion is dead, and Ruan Ting was sentenced to be executed for participating in the rebellion and his family is exiled , Su Taifu is old and has actually retired from the court, Luo Yun is your father-in-law.

What does this make others think?
His Royal Highness the Regent fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, and his military exploits shined brightly. The Rebellion of the Three Kings left people with the impression of brutality and bloodthirsty.It has only been a few months since he returned to Dasheng, and the power is in his hands. Naturally, it is inevitable to leave a deep impression of scheming.

Xie Yan didn't care about this, he had too many things to do, and he didn't care what other people thought.

It's not a bad thing to be intimidating sometimes.

With this skill, he might as well spend more time with his little princess.

Walking all the way from the banquet place, Luo Junyao became sober after being blown by the cold wind.

Unable to fall asleep anyway, they simply dragged Xie Yan up to the roof of Chenyou Palace, and the two sat down on the roof to enjoy the fireworks blooming in the sky.

Xie Yan lowered his head to look at the girl next to him, raised his hand to wrap her in his arms, and said, "Why do you want to watch fireworks here? Isn't it cold?"

Luo Junyao was happily admiring the fireworks, and turned to look at him when he heard his words, his eyes were bright, "It's not cold. Ah... Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival..." She suddenly stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, Suddenly remembering what I had planned in my mind at that time, I was a little speechless for a while.

After getting along these days, Xie Yan obviously knew her very well, so he also looked down at her with a half-smile on his face, "How about the Mid-Autumn Festival night?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, and said calmly: "At that time, I thought that His Royal Highness the Regent is really handsome and handsome, and he is the most outstanding handsome man I have ever seen."

"Oh?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that Ah Cheng's progress is indeed due to Yao Yao's credit." He dared to open his eyes and talk nonsense in front of him.

"I'm sincere, you don't believe me?" Luo Junyao stared at him dissatisfied.

It is 100% sincere that Xie Yan is handsome.

"Believe it." Xie Yan said with a low laugh: "How can you not believe it? It is my honor to make the princess feel good-looking."

Only then was Luo Junyao satisfied, "It's more or less the same." He breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second he heard Xie Yan ask leisurely: "Aside from thinking that I look good, what else were you thinking about?"

"Still thinking about you and Empress Dowager Zhu..." Luo Junyao, who was secretly feeling guilty, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Xie Yan, covering his small mouth with one hand.

What the hell is she talking about? !
Xie Yan looked at the little girl who wanted to huddle herself into a ball with a half-smile, "The princess's ideas are so vivid that I am amazed by this king. No wonder the princess likes to write scripts by herself, she really has some talent in her." .”

Luo Jun stared at the tall, tall and oppressive man in front of him, "I was wrong..."

Xie Yan raised his hand and tapped on the top of her head, saying: "Don't think about it in the future."

Luo Jun shook his eyes and nodded obediently.

Xie Yan sighed softly, reached out to pull her into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Except for you, this king has never had anything to do with other women, and there will never be any in the future."

Luo Jun shook in a daze, and soon a bright smile appeared on his face.

She was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.Instead, he raised his head to look up at Xie Yan, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, if you have someone else, I won't want you!"

Xie Yan smiled and said, "Just don't want me?"

Luo Junyao snorted softly, pulled out the Youyue thorn, gestured twice in front of him, and said, "I want to turn you into an ugly monster. Even if you like others, they will abandon you when they see you become so."

Xie Yan said: "In order not to become an ugly monster, I can't get involved with other people. Otherwise, not only will others abandon me, I'm afraid the first one will abandon me."

Luo Jun raised his chin, "It's good that you know." He looked at Xie Yan, hesitated for a while and said, "If you don't do bad things, I will forcefully not abandon you."

"Then thank you very much." Xie Yan smiled lightly, raised his hand to support her small and delicate chin, and lowered his head to gently kiss her bright red lips.

Luo Junyao thought for a while, and said: "You should try not to become ugly, right?"

Xie Yan gave a low laugh, lowered his head and held the delicate and moist cherry lips in the night, "I will try my best." The low words were submerged between the lips and teeth.

Under the eaves of the palace in the corner of Chenyou Palace, Xiying held his sword and looked at the two people on the roof not far away speechlessly.

"By the way, aren't the prince and princess cold?"

Die Ying sat on the railing next to him, leaned against the pillar and closed his eyes to rest, and said calmly, "Go back and rest if you feel cold."

"How can we do that? After all, we are the prince's bodyguards." Xi Ying said.

Duoying opened his eyes and glanced at him lightly: So what are you complaining about?
Xiying rubbed his nose, "Well, it's a good thing that the prince and concubine love each other, but we don't know when we will have a little son or princess.

The point is, can the love between the prince and the princess be in the house?Such a scene is too unfriendly to a loner like them.

Early in the morning, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan got up and went to the Empress Dowager Palace to pay New Year greetings to the Empress Dowager.

Xie Cheng and Princess Changling Qin Ning both lived in the Empress Dowager's palace last night, and when they arrived, the three of them got up early, and Princess Changzhao and her two children followed.

Princess Changzhao's son-in-law is a general who is still guarding the border, and there are only three of them, mother, son, brother and sister, in the Princess House.

"I've seen the prince, the concubine." The eldest son of Princess Changzhao is named Xu Chengyu, and he can be regarded as a well-known playboy in Shangyonghuang City.

Whether it's a royal family member or a son of a family, it's inevitable that they will feel a little afraid when they see Xie Yan, and Xu Chengyu is no exception.

Xie Yan nodded slightly, Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "The people here are all from my own family, so there is no need to call the prince and concubine so unfamiliar."

The young man who hadn't reached the crown looked at them with some embarrassment. Luo Junyao pointed to the crowd who came out behind him and said, "If you don't know how to do it, ask Ah Cheng and Xinyu how to call them."

While she was speaking, Xu Xinyu and Qin Ning had already led Xie Cheng forward, and said obediently: "Uncle and aunt, Prince Chu, happy new year."

Xie Cheng simply hugged Luo Junyao's thigh and shouted happily: "Little Aunt Huang, Happy New Year!"

Luo Junyao happily touched Xie Cheng's little head, and stuffed him with a beautiful red envelope.He squeezed Xu Xinyu's face again, "Xinyu is good." He also gave her a red envelope.

Then he turned to look at Xu Chengyu, Xu Chengyu blushed and whispered: "Uncle, aunt, happy new year." He was really embarrassed, this aunt was the same age as him in terms of age.

"Good boy." Luo Junyao was very happy to be an elder, and he casually stuffed a red envelope for Xu Chengyu.

The young man blushed even more, "Thank you, auntie."

Qin Ning looked at Luo Junyao, "Where's mine?"

Luo Jun shook his head and looked at her, sighed, "It's gone."

"Why is it gone?!" Qin Ning stared at her, Luo Jun raised his hand to indicate that it was really gone.

"Uncle..." After this period of time, Qin Ning's fear of Xie Yan became less serious.

The most important thing is that she felt that she was Luo Junyao's friend, so that Xie Yan's elder attributes were weakened a lot by herself.

Xie Yan glanced at her indifferently, raised his hand to pat Luo Junyao, and walked inside.

"Mother... Aunt Changzhao..."

Princess Changling and Princess Changzhao looked at each other and smiled, neither of them had any intention of helping Qin Ning.

On the other hand, Xu Xinyu happily opened the red envelope, "Wow, thank you Auntie! Sister Ah Ning, Xinyu will give you half!"

Qin Ning took a look, the red envelope looked thin and inconspicuous, but inside it was a 1000 tael bank note and a few gold leaves.

"..." Instantly, she became even more jealous.

Luo Junyao sighed softly, raised his hand and patted Qin Ning's shoulder, and sighed with a mature and solemn expression, "You don't even want to call me aunt."

Xie Cheng squeezed his red envelope, and sighed imitatively, "Sister Ah Ning, you don't even want to call Aunt Xiao Huang an aunt."

"..." Qin Ning.

Aunt... the banknote...

Banknote... Aunt!
"Auntie! Happy New Year!" Qin Ning cried out through gritted teeth.

Everyone present couldn't help laughing out loud, even the most restrained Xu Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth.

As the precious daughter of Princess Changling, Qin Ning certainly did not miss the 1000 taels of silver and a few gold leaves.

but……

Seeing whether others have you or not is more uncomfortable than losing 1000 taels yourself.

"Good boy." Luo Jun smiled and gave her two red envelopes, "One is for a baby."

Qin Ning was holding two red envelopes, then she snorted softly and said in a low voice, "It's not too bad."

Princess Changling held her youngest son in one hand, and couldn't help pointing in the direction of her daughter with the other, shaking her head while suppressing a smile.

How could this silly girl be Xie Xianyu's girl?

Princess Changling sighed softly, raised her son's little hand and squeezed it, and said, "Don't be as stupid as your sister in the future."

The little baby still didn't quite understand her mother's words, so she smiled happily, "Sister, mother..."

"Well, sister, mother. Be good." Princess Changling smiled while hugging her son.

Although there are few people in the royal family, it is still very lively when the family sits down at this time.After chatting for a while, Eunuch Huang came out and said respectfully, "The empress dowager is awake, please let the prince, concubine and two princesses go in."

Only then did everyone stand up, Princess Changling said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother."
