Chapter 656 The Lantern
After the New Year's Eve family dinner, Xie Xun took Feng Yu out for a boat trip to enjoy the lanterns. Xie Xun didn't want to disturb too many people. Zhang Boxi was not in the capital during his wedding vacation. They were his guards and imperial guards, and the Forbidden Army formed a guard team in the distance. Protect.The two of them traveled like an ordinary couple.

Xie Jue also took Ruyi out to play. Xie Xun wanted to live a two-person world with Feng Yu, so he left Xie Jue and Ruyi separately. Ruyi was quite reluctant to let them go, and stretched out his hand to ask Xie Xun to take him.

After Xie Xun wavered, he abandoned his beloved nephew and took Feng Yu to live happily.

Ruyi angrily grabbed her little fist and said, "Young uncle won't take me with you, damn it!"

Xie Jue couldn't help laughing and said with a smile, "Daddy will take you on a cruise."

Ruyi kissed Xie Jue aggrievedly, "Daddy is the best."

It snows heavily on New Year's Eve, but the cold weather cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people. Big festivals such as New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival are very lively in Kyoto, with lanterns, cruises, various juggling, theater troupes, etc., all available.Feng Yu's favorite things are the lantern festival and flower boats on New Year's Eve, boating in the snow, making music, and listening to music. It is definitely a great pleasure in life.

Xie Xun seemed to have returned to the carefree young Marquis period four years ago. At that time, his father and brother were still alive, and his mother and aunts did not control him strictly. He served in the Kyoto Guard, and he only thought about preparing military rations and preventing the clan. People caused mischief and delayed the Ningzhou Cavalry's rations. What they had to do every day was to train the Kyoto Guards, and then after plundering all the clan's silos, they would watch the third girl go out alone and try every means to defraud the third girl of her money.

It was such a happy day, and I miss it so much now when I think about it.

"Let's go to the Star Observation Tower to enjoy the scenery." Four years later, he took Feng Yu to the Star Observation Tower again. Feng Yu also remembered that during the Lantern Festival that year, the charming little Marquis stood leaning on the railing like that, with a springy look on his face. Ask her if she wants to come and enjoy the lanterns.

At that time, she was ignorant and in love, so she could not clearly see his teasing. She only thought that the young prince might come to cheat money again, and she had no romantic thoughts at all.

"Are you waiting for me at the Star Observation Tower on purpose?" Feng Yu asked curiously.

Xie Xun held her hand and walked along the stairs. The Star Observation Building has remained the same for ten years, and has not changed much. There are dim oil lamps waiting for people on the corridor, and various large lanterns of various shapes are hung on the outside.The dim spiral staircase seemed to have no end, and there were only her and him on this path.

"It was a chance encounter. I was in charge of Hexi area back then, and I happened to see you alone admiring the lanterns, so I kindly invited you."

"He obviously likes my gold and silver."

"Don't tell the truth when you see through it, empress!" Xie Xun joked, not dissing Feng Yu's slow pace, and led her up step by step. When she was tired, he would wait for Feng Yu to rest, just like a traitor and a traitor to the emperor. Along the way, they have always progressed hand in hand, sharing weal and woe.

"If I didn't have the gold and silver back then, would the young marquis still care about me?"

"...Yes, after all, Ayu is so beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and I am also an ordinary person." Xie Xun joked that in fact, he had fallen in love with her after the snowstorm.

During the Lantern Festival, I saw her admiring the lanterns alone by the river. Among the colorful lanterns, Feng Yu's face was more dazzling than the lanterns.

He coveted her and only had eyes for her.

Even though he knew that he was not suitable for her and would never be destined for each other, he still insisted on going his own way and extended his hand to her.

"Thank you, father and mother, for giving me a beautiful face."

Xie Xun laughed heartily and was so amused that the Imperial Guards below were all thinking that the Emperor and the Empress were really different together. They loved to laugh and were funny, and even spoke much more gently.

Feng Yu was still out of breath when she climbed up to the Star Observation Tower, but it was much easier and less strenuous than it was a few years ago. She climbed up and looked into the distance. The beautiful scenery stretched for hundreds of miles in front of her. Countless lanterns rose into the sky in the heavy snow, like a gorgeous lantern. long river.Xie Xun did not let go of her hand and watched the night scene in the distance with her. From the Star Observation Tower, you could still see the palace. It looked majestic and majestic from a distance. It was their home.

"When we were standing here, none of us thought that one day we would be the masters of that place." Feng Yu said that although she had rebel feelings and felt that Emperor Jianming was weak, incompetent, and ignored, she never thought of rebelling. Emperor Jianming, all she could think about was that one day Emperor Jianming would fall ill and the Marquis would be replaced by another emperor.

"We can think of another emperor!" Xie Xun and Feng Yu are indeed a couple, they have the same mind, and they had the same thoughts back then.

Xie Xun did not expect that he would rule the world.The encounters in life are magical. Now the two of them are standing at the highest point of the observatory with their fingers clasped together, and their mood is completely different from that of back then.

Nowadays, the world is at peace, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Xie Xun and Feng Yu have nothing to ask for.

No, Feng Yu still wants something.

What I wanted back then was the health of my family and the stability of Yanyang.

Now, what she wants is to stay with Xie Xun for the rest of her life and have children.

"Set up lanterns?"

"Let's go to the river to put them up!" Feng Yu said with a chuckle, "I haven't put out lanterns by the river yet."

"How many years have you been in Beijing, and you haven't even gone to the river to set off lanterns?"

Feng Yu shook her head gently, "I have always been in poor health since I was a child. I have hardly gone out in the winter in Beijing. It was very cold on New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival. My grandmother was afraid that I would get cold, so she didn't allow me to go out. I don't like it either. Lively, when I met you during the Lantern Festival that year, it was my second-dimensional Lantern Festival outing."

"Auntie is so pitiful!" Xie Xun lovingly touched her face that was a bit cold due to the cold wind. His little Auntie had been trapped at home since she was a child. He could only think of a little girl looking at the sky through the window. The envious eyes of the lantern must be lovable.

"I'm not pitiful at all. I don't like to go out, and I don't like to be exposed to the wind and cold. It's so comfortable to settle accounts in bed at home in the winter. Besides, my sister loves me. Although I can't go out to watch the lanterns, she does it every New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival. I have prepared many novel lanterns in my yard. I can see them on the street and I can see them in my yard, so I can enjoy the lanterns without going out." Although Feng Yu was still a little sad when she mentioned Feng Shu, she was more of a yearning. The deceased is gone, and all she can do is remember him, and she cannot indulge in sadness forever.

Raising Ruyi well is the best comfort to her sister.

Xie Xun also thought of Xie Zhang and said softly, "Eldest brother and sister-in-law have been reunited and will live happily and peacefully on the other side. Don't be too sad."

"I know." Feng Yu said a little sadly, "I just miss my sister a little bit."

"Let's go, I'll take you to put out lanterns." It's hard to deal with the emotion of missing, so he can only do other things to distract his attention. Xie Xun took Feng Yu to put out lanterns by the river.

The river was crowded with people, and Konwei was afraid that something might happen, so he thought about clearing the crowd. Xie Xun and Feng Yu didn't think it was necessary. They grew up outside the palace and didn't care so much about details.

Most of the people placing lanterns by the river were unmarried women, almost all seeking marriage. Xie Xun's appearance of standing out among the crowd was very eye-catching.
