After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

"Sir Cui, is there anything wrong with my sister and I lighting lanterns and setting off fireworks?" Lu Qingshan bowed perfunctorily to Cui Yuanqing while sitting on his horse.

Cui Yuanqing's eyes were like water, and he stood with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a scarlet court robe today. The snow fell on his body, and the red and white matched each other, which was very beautiful. Facing Lu Qingshan's provocative gaze, he smiled lightly: "Since we have this relationship, I must also call you Brother Lu. Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite, just call me Yuanqing."

Lu Qingshan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he said with a fake smile: "I am two years younger than you, so I don't dare to be Mr. Cui's brother. Besides, Mr. Cui is also the inspector, so I don't dare to overstep my authority."

Cui Yuanqing gave a respectful smile.

Seeing that the mood of several people was not right, Taxue quickly called Haitang, and each of them pulled Cheng Songan's arm and said, "Girl, you must be frozen. Hurry up and get in the car. It's very cold."

Cheng Songan obediently got on the carriage.

Lu Qingshan rode his horse in front to lead the way. When he passed Cui Yuanqing, he glanced down at him. The red-maned horse under his crotch also seemed to be quite human-like and snorted at him.

Cui Yuanqing curled the corners of his mouth and sneered. Siwei, who had been waiting in the distance, led the horse over, and he jumped up and followed the side of Cheng Songan's carriage.

Lu Qingshan stopped his horse and said, "Master Cui, I remember that Cui Mansion and Yuqiao Villa are not on the same route."

Cui Yuanqing snorted, "Brother Lu is too nosy. Do I need to inform you of which road I'm taking? I don't know who said not to overstep the boundaries just now. Can't you discipline me on behalf of the Saint now?"

After all, he was a civil servant. Lu Qingshan was rebuked by him and his face turned black. Without saying anything else, he loosened the reins and slowly drove to the other side of Cheng Songan's carriage.

Taxue and Haitang heard their conversation clearly in the carriage. Both of them had a strange smile on their faces and lowered their heads to hold back their laughter.

Cheng Songan was a little embarrassed, and said with a gloomy face: "You two idiots laughed at me, so as a punishment, you are not allowed to eat dumplings."

Upon hearing this, Taxue laughed even more unscrupulously, and deliberately lifted a corner of the curtain so that she could see two people riding horses on the left and right outside.

Cui Yuanqing wore a scarlet official robe, and Lu Qingshan wore a white jade sable fur coat. One was handsome and the other was elegant and unrestrained. The two horses and a carriage moving in the heavy snow were as beautiful as a painting.

Cheng Songan glared at her in reproach and asked her to lower the curtain. Before she could finish her words, several teams of imperial guards hurriedly ran past from the direction of Anding Gate, each of them with his hand on the sword, ready to draw it at any time.

Something happened in the palace!

Cheng Song'an's heart trembled. It was such a great year, and unless something serious happened, the emperor would never let the imperial guards march through the city with swords in hand. She hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Cui Yuanqing.

Cui Yuanqing met her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he shook his head gently, signaling her not to worry.

Cheng Songan had just put down his hand that was on the curtain when another man in armor came galloping towards him from a distance.

Lu Qingshan quickly drew out the long sword at his side, held it across the front of the carriage, and asked in a cold voice, "Who is coming? What happened?"

Cui Yuanqing said, "It's Deputy Commander Zhang of the Imperial Guard."

Deputy Commander Zhang slowed down and said from a distance: "Master Cui, the Saint ordered you to go to the palace for a banquet. Please bring Madam Cui with you and go quickly!"

Lu Qingshan half-closed his eyes, looked back at Cui Yuanqing, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "How can you invite people like this in the palace? Not to mention the New Year's Eve banquet?"

Cui Yuanqing looked calm and said to the visitor, "My wife is still in confinement after childbirth, so it is not appropriate for her to enter the palace, so as not to offend you. I will go with you alone!"

Deputy Commander Zhang thought for a moment and seemed to feel that time was running out, so he nodded and said, "Well, Lord Cui, hurry up and don't make the Saint wait anxiously."

He kept urging them and did not even dismount, apparently unwilling to delay. This was the first time in the history of the Daqian Dynasty that someone had recruited people into the palace in such a hurry.

Cheng Songan subconsciously lifted a corner of the curtain, but before she could open it, a hand grabbed it and lowered the curtain for her, saying in a low voice, "Don't show up. I'll be back soon."

"Gee!" Cui Yuanqing had already walked far away with Deputy Commander Zhang.

Cheng Songan lifted the curtain and looked in the direction they were leaving. The two had already entered the outer city gate, leaving only two lines of horse hoof prints on the ground.

She stared absentmindedly, the fear of being out of track came back again. In her previous life, Cui Yuanqing was not in the capital at this time, let alone staying in the palace for nearly ten days. What impact would this change have on the future situation? What happened in the palace? What kind of situation would Cui Yuanqing be waiting for when he entered the palace at this time?

What are the Cui and Cheng families facing now?

Lu Qingshan coughed lightly and said, "It'll be fine, go back without worry."

The car continued to move slowly in the heavy snow. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the closer we got to Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa, the deeper the snow became and the more difficult it was to drive on.

"Get out of the car!" Lu Qingshan said.

Cheng Songan came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, looked at the hand he extended, and shook his head: "Lu Xiaojiu, don't overstep the line."

Lu Qingshan didn't care and naturally withdrew his arm. He let Haitang and Taxue help her get out of the car and followed them into the mountain residence.

As soon as she entered the house, Mudan and Qiangwei came out to show her the New Year gifts in the house. Most of them were sent by Mrs. Yu from the Cui Mansion and Mrs. Feng from the Cheng Mansion. They were all kinds of new food, clothing, daily necessities, and gifts for everyone. The other part was sent by the Duan Mansion, which was even more valuable and richer than the previous one.

Cheng Songan flipped through it casually and asked the maid to put all the things away. The Duan Mansion was still able to send things to the Xiangwang Mansion at this time, and they were all carefully prepared, which meant that the matter in the palace was not serious, at least it had little to do with them.

Taxue took the lantern from her hand and lit it, revealing the crane pattern on it and the poem next to it could also be seen clearly: From now on, I will smile in the spring breeze and become a long-lived immortal on earth.

Lu Qingshan kept saying that she didn't have the appearance of a long-lived fairy, but on New Year's Eve he wished her to be a long-lived fairy. The pattern was her favorite crane, which had some childhood connotations.

In those days, on New Year's Eve, the two of them would either be at Cheng's house or Lu's house. They would always stay together, running around with lanterns, and setting off firecrackers from time to time, making both houses restless.

So many years have passed, but Lu Qingshan still remembers it.

Cheng Songan couldn't help but feel a little moved. She asked Qiangwei to hang the lanterns high under the corridor, and followed Lu Qingshan to the high platform outside the mountain residence to watch Taxue and Mudan set off firecrackers with Li Wenbin. The crackling sound made the deserted mountain villa suddenly have the flavor of the New Year. She also put aside the anxiety on the street just now.

At some point, fireworks exploded all over the sky, and then the major families in the city seemed to be competing, lighting more and more fireworks, lighting up the entire capital.

Cheng Songan had experienced a national mourning before his death in his previous life, and had not seen fireworks for three years. When he saw them at this moment, he could not help but be overjoyed and shouted loudly amid the noise: "Cui Yuanqing, fireworks are being set off again!"

As soon as she said this, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She subconsciously called out Cui Yuanqing, and she felt very embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone was watching the fireworks, and the sound of firecrackers was deafening, so they turned a deaf ear to her shouting.

Cheng Songan felt slightly relieved, but when he turned around, Lu Qingshan's bright eyes dimmed under the light of the fireworks.

"New Year is here, Cheng Songan." Lu Qingshan smiled faintly, "I wished you all your wishes in the past, and I will still wish you all your wishes in the future. It's just that I am a little greedy, and this time I hope that I will be included in your wish."
