thank you + extra

Xie Yi also thought the same way, she already had a herring pendant on her body, and it would be a burden to wear Huang pendant.

Tingwei is an important minister, his mansion is not far from the center, and he arrived in a short time.

Liu Zao didn't want to be bored in the car, so he said, "I'll go with you." It's not surprising that Emperor Jia En came to the birthday banquet in person.

Innocuous and trivial matters, Prime Minister Xie mostly obeyed her, she was about to order the driver to stop and transfer to her own car, but she heard Xie Yi say, "Don't go."

Liu Zao was puzzled, "Why?"

Xie Yi looked at her helplessly, and said, "Once you go, you will be picked up by the whole family, and you will be restless. The old man is eighty years old, and he will live a good life, so why make a fuss about it?"

Liu Zao still didn't want to stay in the car, and muttered in a low voice, "No, it's not that she hasn't seen me before, and most of the important officials at the banquet are used to seeing me, so she won't disturb the old man." She thought about saying goodbye Acting like a baby, Prime Minister Xie will definitely soften his heart, and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I am starved to death. Let me go to a birthday banquet, and I will also be happy about the old man's longevity."

As soon as she acted like a baby, Xie Yi couldn't hold on anymore.

Seeing hope, Liu Zao shook Xie Yi's hand and said, "Let me go, let me go, let me go."

Xie Yi suddenly put on a straight face, and said seriously, "Don't act like a baby."

Liu Zao had no choice but to stop, slumped, and lowered his head.

Xie Yi softened her tone, touched her, and said, "It's in the car, wait for me to come back."

She refused to let her go, Liu Zao didn't dare to make up her own mind, and could only complain without force, "I must have to wait for a long time again."

A hint of pampering flashed across Xie Yi's eyes, and she shook her head secretly.

Liu Zao didn't think deeply about why Xie Yi didn't let her go. The fear she said about disturbing the birthday star was obviously untenable.But Xie Yi refused to let her go, so she obediently waited in the car and refused to go.

The mansion is full of guests.The prime minister arrived with birthday gifts, and all the guests stood up to greet him.

Xie Yi handed over the birthday ceremony to the servants in Ting Wei's mansion, and was introduced by Li Wen, and met the old lady.The old lady is quite old, with silver hair all over her head, but she is in good spirits, her eyes are not cloudy, on the contrary they are radiant.In front of the prime minister, she didn't dare to be too big. After Xie Yi saluted, she also got up and returned the half salute, "Your Majesty is coming to the humble house, it really is full of splendor."

"The old lady is serious." Xie Yi said with a smile.

The old lady led her to sit beside her.

The banquet has already started, all the delicacies and wines are served, and all the guests are celebrating their birthdays one after another.The old lady's face was full of red, and she thanked them one by one, but she didn't look tired at all.However, everyone could see that the old lady seemed to have something on her mind, and she couldn't stop looking at the door.

Li Wen was filial, seeing that his mother was worried and couldn't be happy, he stepped forward and asked, "Is there any order from mother, and my son will do it with all his strength."

The old lady shook her head and sighed, "I'm waiting for His Majesty to come." Li Wen is in Jiuqing and is also the emperor's teacher. It is reasonable for the emperor to come to the birthday banquet, but now the banquet is halfway through, and there is still no holy car. Presumably it won't come.

Li Wen heard that his mother was waiting for Shengjia, he couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Mother is looking forward to Shengjia, but do you have something to report to Your Majesty?"

The old lady glanced at him and was a little annoyed, "I am an old woman, what can I do to alarm Your Majesty? It is because of Lin'er, she has been released for several years and is not allowed to return to Beijing. If I kneel and beg Your Majesty at the birthday banquet, Your Majesty is merciful to this old lady, and maybe she will allow Lin'er to return to Beijing."

Li Lin has been away from Beijing for many years, and has disappointed Li Wen several times, he has almost forgotten that he has this granddaughter, and he has also forgotten that his mother loves her the most, so he often tries to get him to transfer her back to Beijing.If my mother begged His Majesty at the birthday banquet, His Majesty would not be able to refuse because of emotion and reason.

For some reason, Li Wen didn't immediately appease his mother, but instead gave Xie Yi an awkward look.

Chapter 119

Li Lin is the most favored by her family's old lady, and everyone in Beijing knows about it, but only the emperor, who lives in the deep palace, doesn't know about it.If she knew, she would understand why Prime Minister Xie didn't let her go to the birthday banquet, and she must be happy for several days.

It's not good for Xie Yi to leave too early, until the birthday banquet was halfway through, and when it was coming to an end, she said goodbye first, even so, she was still the first person to leave the residence.

When I entered, there was still a twilight in the sky. When I came out, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the white snow reflected the moonlight, and the silver light shone brightly.The ministers were in the mansion, only a hundred steps away from the outside of the mansion. No one could have expected that the emperor was hidden in the luggage cart by the prime minister and was waiting outside the mansion.

Xie Yi opened the car door, Liu Zao had already fallen asleep waiting.

Xie Yi smiled, leaned in, and saw Liu Zao lying in the shadows under the moonlight and the dim light of the lantern hanging high above the mansion gate, her eyes were closed, she was sleeping soundly, her mouth was slightly pursed, and she looked Aggrieved look.

Xie Yi got into the car and gently shook her, "Your Majesty."

Liu Zao didn't respond, breathing heavily.

Xie Yi called again, "Mengmeng, wake up quickly, you're going to catch a cold."

Liu Zao opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw her, he muttered, "It's been a long time." He turned over and fell asleep again.

I don't know how tired I was in the palace these few days, and I was so sleepy.Xie Yi took off his cloak and covered her body.Feeling the warmth, Liu Zao curled up her body so that the cloak covered her whole body.She still followed the heat source and moved to Xie Yi's side bit by bit.

Xie Yi shook her hand warmly, so he was relieved that she fell asleep like this.

When we arrived at Xiangfu, we thought it would take some effort to wake her up, but when the car stopped, she woke up by herself.

"Get out of the car when you wake up." Xie Yi said.

Liu Zao didn't move, sobered up for a while, and asked, "Will there be good food and wine at the banquet?"

Xie Yi knew what she was going to say, so she didn't answer and let her talk to herself.

Sure enough, Liu Zao couldn't hear her reply, so he got a little angry, and said, "You have delicious food and wine at the banquet, and I only have the dry sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the car." The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was Xie Yi's fear of starving her, so he ordered the attendants to find it. here.

"It's still cold in the car, and you're pissing me off again when you come back." Liu Zaoxu babbled, showing a lot of dissatisfaction.

Xie Yi finally said helplessly, "Why have I ever attacked you?"

Liu Zao was confident, "You don't hug me."

It was probably out of breath and started to be unreasonable.Xie Yi stroked her hair and hugged her, Liu Zao contentedly put his face against hers, and his breathing eased little by little.

The hands are warm, and the face is also warm.Her car was sealed on all sides and decorated with fox fur inside, which somehow froze her, so she complained that "it was still cold in the car".But someone who just woke up can't be reasonable, not to mention that this person looks soft when acting like a baby, Xie Yi likes it very much.He hugged her for a long time and asked, "Are you happy?"

Liu Zao moaned twice, "Hungry."

Xie Yi patted her, "Get out of the car."

Most of the servants in the mansion have rested.

The family order waited in front of the door, rubbing his hands to keep warm, and when he saw the prince returning to the mansion, he rushed forward to meet him.

The prime minister also brought an emperor behind him, holding back his slack and lazy steps.Jialing saw the prime minister was about to salute, and caught a glimpse of the emperor behind her, he was taken aback, paused, and bowed down, "See you, Your Majesty."

Liu Zao didn't speak, and looked sleepy, like a cat whose fur hasn't been well groomed.Xie Yi quietly shook her hand, tapped twice on her palm, Liu Zao's fur all over his body smoothed out, he raised his chin, and said to Jialing, "You go on your own, there is no need to say anything."

Jia Ling looked at Xie Yi, and waited for her to nod before retreating.

Xie Yi led her through the vestibule, Liu Zao kept looking around.There were bamboos on both sides of the narrow road, and the bamboo leaves were covered with snow. Liu Zao followed behind Xie Yi, reached out to touch the bamboo leaves, the snow slid down and fell to the ground, as if he could hear the sound of snow spreading.She looked at it with great interest, and touched another bamboo leaf.

"What are you doing?" Xie Yi turned around and asked.

Liu Zao immediately withdrew his hand, turned his back behind, and replied, "I'll just touch the bamboo leaves." After finishing speaking, he felt too guilty, and said without confidence, "This is also my home, my bamboo, just touch it." It doesn't matter."

She seemed to be careless tonight, but in fact she was always a little anxious, as if she had something hidden in her heart, and it was hard to say it clearly.Xie Yi roughly guessed it, and she also touched the bamboo leaves, causing a handful of slender snow on the leaves to slide down to the ground, and then scattered with a bang.

Liu Zao's face was flushed red, and her exhaled breath condensed into white air, making her face a bit blurred. She lowered her head and said, "I won't play anymore."

"Mengmeng." Xie Yi called out.

Liu Zao looked up at her, the snow and moonlight were reflected in the clear eyes, shining a little bit.Xie Yi shook her head, "Let's go find some food."

There is also a little cook under the kitchen who is watching the fire.The fire in the furnace was red, but it wasn't blazing, it was just kept alive.

Xie Yi ordered her to step down, so she doesn't have to be on duty tonight.Then he was busy in front of the stove himself.Liu Zao wanted to light a fire for her.But starting a fire is not a simple matter, the size of the fire is extremely difficult to control.

But Xie Yi didn't push her away because of her clumsiness, and only told her "slow fire" or "high fire" from time to time.Liu Zao looked at the stove intently, holding his breath, calculating the timing of adding firewood, his concentration was no less than calculating the important affairs of a country.

In the back, I really figured out some ways for her, such as how to push the firewood to extinguish it when the fire is simmering, leaving only a handful of flames, such as how to add firewood to burn the fire to the maximum as soon as possible.
