I'm still so majestic

After another heavy snowfall in the imperial city, New Year's Eve arrived.

According to the old rules, the emperor was supposed to hold a banquet on New Year's Eve, but Yanji was too lazy to spend time with others during the joyous season, so he simply avoided the palace banquet under the pretext of letting his subjects return home as soon as possible.The courtiers were all grateful for this, Yan Ji agreed with peace of mind, smiled behind his back and sighed with Xie Wenzhuo, after all, he was still too young.

After dinner at midnight, Yan Ji went out with Xie Wenzhuo and Shao He holding the hand stove. The streets were decorated with red lanterns, and the high platform was crowded with people in new clothes, their faces were beaming, looking forward to the fireworks display.

Every New Year's Eve, Daqi will set off fireworks in the capital. The emperor will set off fireworks with the people on the city tower, praying for a smooth life for the people in the coming year and peace in all seasons.

The fireworks prepared by Miyagi were indeed extremely gorgeous. Yanji climbed up the tower and looked up. The sky was reflected like daylight, and countless light spots scattered around, dazzling.

Xie Wenzhuo stood by his side and smiled slightly, Yanji turned to look at him: "Watching fireworks from a high place always feels more beautiful than watching them from below."

"That's true." Xie Wenzhuo looked over with his eyebrows lowered, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little more gentle and affectionate against the background of the fireworks. Yan Ji was slightly dazed in his gaze, and after regaining his senses, he lowered his head and saw that there was nothing but people coming out to play. The people, and many pedestrians returning or leaving with their bags on their backs.

Yan Ji looked at it, but suddenly remembered something, and raised his head again: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone who is away has returned home, and the Taifu is not from the capital, don't you plan to go home and have a look at this season? "

"..." Xie Wenzhuo lowered his eyebrows and remained silent for a long time before opening his mouth in a low voice: "Your Majesty...the minister has no home."

Yan Ji was taken aback.

Xie Wenzhuo's voice was still flat: "I have no father or mother since I was a child. I grew up in Nanzhou for a hundred years. I met my master when I was seven years old. Since then, I have traveled around with him. At that time, I still have a thought of going back. , but since Master passed away, there is no home anymore."

Looking at his plain expression, Yan Ji felt a sudden pain in his heart. After a while, he stretched out his hand to hold Xie Wenzhuo's hand: "The past is in the past, now, I will give you a home."

He is useless, his peach blossom eyes are full of seriousness.Seeing his expression, Xie Wenzhuo smiled gently, and held Yanji's hand behind his back: "Okay."

After the fireworks, it was already late at night, but the voices of the people in the capital still could not dissipate.It is rare for Yan Ji to come out of the Xuanjing Palace on weekdays. He originally wanted to walk more, but because of the cold weather after the heavy snow, he was coaxed back to the palace by Xie Wenzhuo after walking for a while.

Er Gouzi was very happy to see them coming back, so he ran over shaking his ears, Yan Ji touched its head and walked towards the inner hall, Er Gouzi followed behind him, one paw just touched the door of the inner hall, Xie Wenzhuo then locked him outside with a ruthless smile.

Er Gouzi stretched out his paw and scratched on the door a few times, he groaned in grievance, and his voice reached Yanji through the door, Yanji smiled: "Why can't you get rid of your habit of bullying small animals?"

Xie Wenzhuo approached his ear with a calm expression: "It's not the only thing I like to bully, but actually... Do you want to know who it is, Your Majesty?"

Alas.

old rascal.

Yanji has already accepted the setting that he can't flirt with the Taifu, and seeing him like this, he can only sigh silently in his heart. In the past, he thought that the Taifu was a flower of Gaoling, and he was really blind.

The former Flower of Gaoling, Grand Tutor Xie frowned slightly: "Why doesn't Your Majesty speak?"

Yan Ji narrowed his eyes: "Don't flirt with me, I'm an upright broken sleeve."

After saying this, before Xie Wenzhuo could react, Yan Ji couldn't help laughing. Seeing him laughing, Xie Wenzhuo's expression became more relaxed, and he leaned over and stretched out his hand to push Yan Ji's hair scattered on his forehead aside: "Seriously. broken sleeve?"

Yan Ji gave a cheeky hum, and then felt his lips covered with a warm and soft feeling.

Xie Wenzhuo licked and kissed his lips carefully, and finally bit his lips lightly: "What now?"

Yan Ji continued to nod solemnly.

Xie Wenzhuo chuckled, bowed his head again and kissed deeper, and asked again: "What about now?"

A little distracted by the kiss, Yan Ji rubbed his nose, and couldn't hold back the seriousness he had pretended before: "If you keep teasing like this again, I will drive you out...why are you so unprincipled?"

"Yes, the minister is not serious." Xie Wenzhuo followed the good advice and straightened his body with a smile: "Then, is your majesty willing to go to take a bath with the dishonest minister?"

Why does this sound so wrong?It's kind of like a date, it's not like what a serious person can say.

Yan Ji snorted, on the surface he was reluctant but honest, and stretched out his hand: "Let's go."

After making a fuss in the bath for a long time, when he got out, he got on the couch. Yan Ji lay down in the quilt and soon became drowsy. After Xie Wenzhuo turned off the lights and the surrounding area was covered with darkness, he fell into a deep sleep.

He slept very deeply, and his dream was peaceful, but in the haze, he felt someone softly covering his ear, and the voice was full of nostalgia: "This is the second time you said that you would give me a home." , I remembered, so..."

"You must never forget again."

……

Because I slept too late the night before, it was already morning when I woke up.

Yan Ji opened his eyes slightly, still feeling tired, turned over and was about to go back to sleep, when suddenly a furry thing pressed up behind him, and then his cheeks were wet and licked.

Yan Ji hugged Er Gouzi behind him with his arms and pressed him down: "Don't make trouble."

Er Gouzi was flattered, his ears trembled, and he stopped moving immediately, happily enjoying the good time sharing the bed with his owner.Not long after, Xie Wenzhuo came in, saw Er Gouzi who was lying next to Yan Ji, smiled, and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, get up and eat something."

Yan Ji frowned and buried his face in the bedding, Xie Wenzhuo leaned over with a helpless smile, half hugged Yan Ji with one hand, and drove Er Gouzi off with the other skillfully.

After being disturbed like this, Yan Ji couldn't help it if he didn't wake up. He got up and washed up honestly. After eating something in the outer hall, Xie Wenzhuo went to the small kitchen to make snacks, and Yan Ji took Er Gouzi out for a walk After walking around, when he came back, he heard a report from the palace man, and He Ji begged to see him.

He often comes these days, and he doesn't like forced marriages as much as before, he just talks about trivial things.After hearing what he said, Yan Ji hesitated for a while, and said, "Has General He seen Mr. Fu recently?"

"I don't see much, it seems that he was urged by Prime Minister Fu to get married recently, and he couldn't get away." He Ji said: "But according to Prime Minister Fu's temperament, no matter how busy he is, he will find time to come here. Could it be that something happened? ?”

Yan Ji paused with her fingers, and then smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm too busy, it's okay, I just thought of it for a while, just ask."

He Ji nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and stayed for a while before bowing and leaving. Yan Ji sat by the window and looked at the unmelted snow in the corner outside, lowering his head in a daze.

Yan Ji hadn't seen Fu Zhihuai since he left in Xuanjing Palace in embarrassment last time. In the past, Fu Zhihuai would bring a can of peach blossom wine to chat with him by candlelight on New Year's Eve, but this year there was nothing.

There are some unaccustomed, more melancholy.

He has experienced the ups and downs of so many lives, and he cherishes the youthful friendship with Fu Zhihuai in his heart, but from the day he saw Fu Zhihuai's eyes, Yan Ji knew that many things were not as pure as before.

There is no way.

Yan Ji sighed inwardly, and at the same time heard footsteps coming from behind, Wei now stood beside him: "Your Majesty."

"Mr. Wei looks a bit haggard, didn't you sleep well last night?" Yan Ji turned to look at him.

"Last night, Caomin went to watch the fireworks outside the palace. He was amazed at the beauty of the fireworks. He stayed outside for a long time, and when he came back, he wanted to draw the scenery he saw, so he went to bed late."

"Mr. Wei likes fireworks?"

"I'm really looking forward to it." Wei Xian smiled: "Caomin grew up in a remote place, and it's hard to see such a scene on weekdays. When he was crowned, he climbed a high mountain outside the city and saw the fireworks in the capital. From then on, he fell in love with living in the city. It’s like watching fireworks from a high place.”

Yanji nodded in agreement.

"And standing on a high place to watch the fireworks, I can think about some things more clearly."

Yan Ji looked up curiously: "Then what did Mr. Wei think about under the fireworks last night?"

"Caomin thought of a story I heard before." Wei Xian opened his mouth, and the words he said were very familiar to Yan Ji. They were basically the same as the story of his previous life that he told Xie Wenzhuo before. The only difference was the position Just different.

After finishing speaking, Wei Xian paused and continued: "What does Your Majesty think about this matter?"

"What do you think?" Yan Ji smiled indifferently, "I wonder if Mr. Wei has ever heard of it, the one who flirts first is cheap?"

Wei Xian froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Yan Ji lowered his eyes, looked at the plum blossoms that were broken in the snow outside, and said lightly: "In the final analysis, this matter is the result of letting nature take its course in the competition. There is no right or wrong in the first place, and it is still a defeat." That party did something behind the scenes first, so it can only be said that..."

He raised his eyes, stretched out his hands to pick up the fallen flowers by the window, his eyes faded to the extreme: "Winners and losers, it's only their own fault."

Blame yourself.

In just four words, Wei Xian's hands hidden under his sleeves were fiercely gathered together.

The corners of Yan Ji's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at him frankly.Wei Xian's eyes flashed blood red, and he gritted his teeth to suppress it. After a long time, he smiled hoarsely: "Maybe."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had returned to his usual appearance, saluting gracefully: "Your Majesty, in fact, Cao Min came here today to ask His Majesty to bid farewell."

"Ok?"

"Cao Min came to Beijing as a guest of Prince Duan. At that time, he said that he would leave near the New Year's Eve. Later, he was appreciated by His Majesty and entered the Xuanjing Palace, so he stayed a little longer. Yesterday he received a letter from his family, and his parents were very worried at home. Moreover, the Caomin felt that they were not suitable for life in the middle of Beijing, so they wanted to return home."

"Has Mr. Wei thought it through?" Yan Ji asked.

Wei Xian nodded seriously.

"When does sir plan to leave Beijing?"

"We're leaving early tomorrow morning."

"In such haste, it seems that the master has made up his mind. If that is the case, then I will not do more to keep you." Yan Ji nodded: "I wish you a safe return home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Xian said, "Caomin still has a lot of things that he hasn't taken care of, so he went back first."

Yan Ji hummed, waved his hand in response, Wei Xian saluted again, turned and returned to the apse.
