Since it was the Year of the Rabbit, the regent made a rabbit lantern out of bamboo strips.

The rabbit's body is chubby and its ears are a little crooked. There is a red candle burning inside and a necklace on the bottom.Obviously, Yan Yang is not a good carpenter and his handiwork is average, but this lantern is really childish and cute.

The carriage is very spacious, like an RV, and even has compartments.

"Mom, do you want to eat Lantern Festival? Today is the Lantern Festival, a day for family reunion."

Zebao was very knowledgeable and pulled her sleeve.

Mu Tingxue happened to be hungry. After coming out of the Royal Ancestral Temple, she had a cup of tea and a bite of cake at Qihuang Palace. At this moment, her stomach was still empty: "Okay."

The servant brought several dishes up, as well as two large bowls and two small bowls of Yuanxiao. The aroma was fragrant, and it was as shiny and white as lychee. The skin was extremely smooth and waxy. When you bite it open gently, the sweetness of black sesame will flow out. stuffing.

"Tonight, I and Your Highness are reunited."

Yan Yang suddenly chuckled and brought a bowl of Yuanxiao in front of her, along with a white jade spoon.

Mu Tingxue actually didn't dare to look at him.

Her eyes drifted out the window to the long street filled with lights and fireworks, looking at the bustling crowd, her thoughts were mixed, and all kinds of thoughts flickered - after recognizing her ancestor and returning to the clan, she should call him cousin, but what he said was too ambiguous, as if They are like husband and wife.

Yan Yang proposed to her. In ancient times, among high-ranking families and royal nobles, marriage between cousins ​​was usually the first choice.On the one hand, it is to consolidate interests; on the other hand, both parties have a certain foundation of goodwill, making it easier for them to work together and support each other.

"Mom, this tastes delicious. It's filled with hawthorn." Yabao took a bite, and what flowed out from under the soft and waxy thin skin was hawthorn red filling.

Mu Tingxue was so greedy that she immediately ate one.

Bad luck, sesame filling.

I ate another one. It was sweet with a hint of sourness, just like the hawthorn filling.Satisfied.

Yan Yang lowered his eyes and had thick long crow eyelashes. He was a beautiful general who had been in the army all year round. When he ate, he was not vague at all. A spoonful of glutinous rice balls, a large chopstick of vegetables, the wind and the residual clouds.

The eldest princess also returned to the palace to pay homage to heaven and ancestors. He got up before dawn. He basically planned and managed the ceremony. He also personally brought people into the Huangji Gate. He also had to put the entire army on guard to prevent the enemy from attacking. Her disadvantage.From dawn to dusk, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat or drink.

After eating, I sat upright and watched her and the child eat.

"There is only one month left in the armistice agreement with Beiyu. The five thousand horses they promised to pay tribute to our court were not delivered on time."

Yan Yang suddenly said this.

The child couldn't understand, but Mu Tingxue understood: "Want to fight?"

Yan Yang nodded and frowned: "The prince of Beiyu Kingdom is still in Yundu as a hostage. They did not abide by the terms of defeat and failed to pay tribute on time. The troops stationed at the border sent news that during the New Year period, the barbarians in the north Riding on horseback to rob the people again.”

Mu Tingxue's heart skipped a beat.

The war between Yunhuang Kingdom and Beiyu Kingdom has lasted for more than two hundred years, and the trouble in the north has existed almost since the founding of the country.

Because the Beiyu Kingdom is a vast prairie, their light industry development is very poor and almost zero. There is no daily necessities such as cotton, silk, pots and pans. If you don’t have them, you can only grab them!Like an uncivilized barbarian, he was riding on horseback, tough and brave, and frequently harassed the civilians in the north of Yunhuang Kingdom, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

As the governor of Zhenbei, Yan Yang's duty is to guard the stability of the north.Not to mention every year, at least every two years they send troops to fight the Beiyu Kingdom.

Before Yan Yang took over, the Yunhuang Kingdom often suffered defeats, and hundreds of strongholds on the ground for 1 miles were occupied. After Yan Yang took over, it was invincible, regained [-] miles of lost territory, occupied natural dangers, and defended the city. It can be said that it was The merit lies in Qianqiu No.[-]!

The old emperor of Beiyu had been beaten by Yan Yang in the past ten years and suffered heavy casualties. As a last resort, he sent the little prince here to be a hostage.Beiyu's vitality was seriously injured and he needed to recuperate. He took the initiative to make peace and promised to provide [-] prairie horses that Yunhuang Kingdom did not have every year!

Yunhuang's infantry is brave, but its cavalry is rubbish. There are only bad horses in the country, so there is a strong demand in this area.

"If you don't deliver the BMW, and then send a small team of cavalry to fight guerrillas to steal people's property, isn't this a unilateral tearing up of the peace agreement?" Mu Tingxue was also full, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said seriously, "Beiyu Kingdom should be looking at us. The country has been hit by a snowstorm, and there are poor refugees everywhere who have no time to care for themselves and want to take advantage of the opportunity to rob in the north."

That's shameful.

While you are sick, I will sneak up on you from behind.

"After the Lantern Festival, I should lead my troops to leave for Anyuan City in the north."

Yan Yang looked at her deeply, with hidden reluctance in his eyes, "When the time comes, please help Your Highness take care of Aze."

It's more reassuring to leave the baby to the baby's mother.

His second sister was really unreliable. One time when he went out to fight, the second sister went to Xiaoxiang Shuiyun Pavilion to have fun, and she even took Aze with her.

"do not worry."

Mu Tingxue accepted the task and patted Yan Ze's little head gently, "Ze Bao should be considered my little nephew."

Yan Ze was unhappy and emphasized with a pout: "That's right!"

Why is he still downgraded?

After the reunion dinner, the family of four got off the carriage and started visiting the lantern festival.

Mu Tingxue knew that after today, Yan Yang would leave Yundu, and the war would take as short as three or two months, or as long as three or two years, and for a moment, she felt a little reluctant to give up.

The lights were bright and the long street was very lively. Men, women and children all over the city came out to visit the lantern festival. Small vendors sold all kinds of interesting sachets, candy figures, masks, sky lanterns, river lanterns, and hoops. , wild monkey juggling, and guessing lantern riddles.

Those setting off the river lanterns gathered near the moat. Many people on the river beach wrote their wishes and blessings on paper, rolled them into a small roll, and floated to the other side with the river lanterns.

Those who set off sky lanterns gathered on Wanghe Mountain and Qixia Mountain. Blessings and messages flew into the sky on the lanterns, and the people put their hands together and prayed.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, I'll give this... to you."

While they were strolling around, an elegant and handsome scholar thrust the lotus lantern into Mu Tingxue's hand and ran away with a blushing face.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is here! Come and see, everyone!"

I don't know who the wise man shouted, and hundreds of people in the whole street turned their heads, their bright eyes shining with a strange brilliance.

The common people all know that Miss Mu, a good person who gave them free disaster relief food, recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan today, becoming the most distinguished princess in the imperial city.

"Your Highness, please accept the lanterns from the common people."

"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is the savior of my family. Anyway, the common people are unintentional, so I will give this lantern to you!"

After a while, twenty or thirty lanterns were handed into Mu Tingxue's hands.

The regent on the side had a dark face.

He just wanted to have a date with his wife, so why did so many people come to confess their love to his wife?These lamps are various and very exquisite. Many of them are bought in the shop. They are more beautiful than his clumsy handmade products...

"Cousin, here are the lanterns for you."

Prince Jing Yu's son Li Yuan, at some point, squeezed his way to the front of the crowd and handed over the mandarin duck lantern in his hand with anticipation.

The veins on the Prince Regent's forehead popped out.

cousin?

Calling so affectionately?
