love palace

In the middle of the month, it is time for the villagers to go to the market.Ke Weiqing promised the children to buy paper and pens for them.

Many people in the village went, and it was very lively.The market is in Tianshan City, in a relatively open space.Farmers and merchants set up tents early in the morning and set up fences, and the shops were lined up, crowded with people.

There are cattle, sheep and livestock, as well as fresh mountain products such as bitter vegetables and mushrooms, as well as agricultural tools such as hoes and sickles, and there are countless grains and homespun cloth.

Tianyu Tianchen was so happy that he ran east and west like a wild horse, and when he saw the monkey performers, he applauded and clapped his hands.

Ke Weiqing grabbed one, but let the other go. He had to grab one with each hand and squeeze in and out of the crowd.

"Sell characters and paintings, and write letters for clients!"

A small vendor was yelling hard at the front, not only selling paintings, but also selling pens and inks. Ke Weiqing was about to take the children there, when a person walked out from the other side of the crowd, came to the booth full of scrolls first, and took a seat. .

"This painting is not bad." The man was admiring a picture of a snow scene in the mountains. After a while, another young gentleman approached him and said to him with a smile, "Yes, it is the winter snow you like."

Ke Weiqing couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Yong Lin!"

The person holding the painting scroll and looking at it is none other than Yonglin. He is tanned a lot, looks happy, and is dressed plainly, like a tourist.

The young man next to him was very beautiful, and Ke Weiqing heard Yong Lin call him "Xue Yu".

"Xueyu...? Ah! It's that child!" Ke Weiqing had some impressions of him.He is the most active child in Wuque Village, and in a blink of an eye, he has become a handsome young man.

"If you like it, just buy it." Xueyu said with a smile, "Although I think, your paintings are the best."

"Well. Then when I go back, I will draw you a "Picture of Erotic Palace". I will buy this one first." Yonglin smiled and took out three taels of silver from his purse, and handed it to the happy peddler.

"What "Pornography"? You deserve a beating!"

The two pushed and pushed, chatting and laughing, and went forward. There was a scene of crushing boulders in the chest, and there were a lot of people.

"Daddy? Is that an acquaintance?" Tianchen asked, seeing Ke Weiqing staring at the two men in shock, shaking his little hand.

"Well, they are Daddy's friends, but... don't bother them." Ke Weiqing smiled, and for some reason, his vision blurred. Seeing Yonglin pick up his brush again, I was really happy for him.

It seems that the people of the Wuque Clan are all living well...

"Huang Ye...I miss you so much." Ke Weiqing almost couldn't bear the suppressed longing after seeing his long-lost friend.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Did you get sand in your eyes? Let me show you." Tianyu couldn't stop jumping.

"It's all right. It's just that the wind is strong, and I lost my eyes for a while. Let's go, let's buy paper and pens." Ke Weiqing took a deep breath, walked to the booth full of paper, ink, and brushes, and carefully selected for the children.

"What's wrong? Yonglin?" Xueyu, who was walking in front, asked when he saw Yonglin suddenly turn around.

"I just now..." Yong Lin blinked, "I seem to have seen Wei Qing."

"what?"

"However, it's unlikely. There are rumors in the palace that he went to Liang Kingdom."

"Yes. Alas. We traveled so many places, but we couldn't find him." Xueyu said dejectedly, "I really want to see him again."

"Well... There is someone who thinks more than us, and now he seems to be crazy, looking for someone everywhere." Yong Lin couldn't help but smiled bitterly, "I really underestimated Brother Huang."

"If you are infatuated, you will always be rewarded." Xue Yu grinned, and reached out to hold Yong Lin's hand, not afraid of being seen by others.

"That's right." Yonglin also smiled, and approached him, "Come on, let's go over there again."

"Okay! I want to eat bean noodle cake and candied haws!" Xueyu bounced around like a child, but she kept holding Yonglin's hand and didn't let go...

Ke Weiqing dragged the two urchins back to the village in the opposite direction, carrying a small cloth bag stuffed with paper, pen and ink, and an inkstone.

winter solstice.It is rare for a well-trained army to advance along the rugged mountain road in this snowy and peaceful day.

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, do you want to stay and rest?" A general stepped forward and asked.

Huang Ye was wearing a black mink fur cloak and a golden crown on his head, sitting on a tall steed, his slightly frowned eyebrows were covered with frost.

"No, pass on the order and drive overnight tonight." The road to Tianshan City is winding and bumpy, passing three peaks.A secret report said that he had seen someone who looked like Ke Weiqing there.

Although, like before, this might be nothing but joy, but after careful investigation, Huang Ye knew that he had found the right place.

Suddenly, a resourceful outsider came to a small hill where bandits were entrenched. He led the officers and soldiers and wiped out the bandits within three months. His behavior was very similar to Ke Weiqing.

I didn't expect Ke Weiqing to run to such a far place and climb mountains and mountains in order to hide from himself, it's really heartless.

"Drive!" Huang Ye clamped the horse's belly and galloped forward, and the team behind him followed closely, advancing quickly and steadily to the destination.This time, let alone Nanshan Village, even Tianshan City can be completely surrounded!

※※※

"Therefore, the way to use soldiers is not to rely on them not to come, but to wait for them..." Tianyu sat cross-legged behind the dining table, shaking his head solemnly, reciting the homework "Art of War" taught by his father.

When they were one year old, their father taught them to count and recognize characters, from their own names to the surnames of everyone in the village. At that time, their greatest joy was to give kittens, puppies, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep all Choose a nice name.

After they turned three years old, Ke Weiqing began to teach the children in the whole village to read and write. The older children could also learn martial arts.

Of course, this made their homework extraordinarily heavy. When other children left the "school" to play around, Tianyu and Tianchen had to learn the thick art of war while their father patiently explained it.

But today, because of the heavy wind and snow, Ke Weiqing left the seven or eight children behind.When Tianyu and Tianchen were reading military books, other children were copying ancient poems. A girl with braids asked Tianyu curiously what the words he recited meant.

Tianyu was very proud, he raised his head and said, "This means, don't hope that the enemy will not come to invade, but rely on yourself and wait for it."

"What is being ready?" The girl was even more confused.

"Waiting for the battle...that is, waiting for the battle! You are so stupid, you don't understand this."

"You're stupid!" The girl got angry and her eyes were red.

"Preparation means to be fully prepared to meet the enemy." Tian Chen leaned over and said seriously, "This daddy said before, brother, you won't fall asleep again, right?"

"I didn't! I knew it, but I forgot it." Tianyu said.

Beside, Ke Weiqing, who was adding firewood to the stove, smiled and shook his head.

"Master, someone is coming. There are many people on the bridge!" An eight-year-old child looking out the window suddenly said.

"Really?" It was probably a villager who came to pick up the child. Ke Weiqing wiped his hands, closed the copper lid of the stove, and planned to open the door.

dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Here we come!" Ke Weiqing unlatched the door latch, and as soon as he pulled it open, the howling cold wind poured in. The person who came was so tall that he was almost against the door frame.

Ke Weiqing's eyes widened at that moment, and he stood there dumbfounded, letting the snowflakes fly in from the man's shoulders and fall into the warm room.

The man raised his hand and took off the hat of the sable fur cloak. A crown carved with golden dragons and inlaid with rubies was shining brightly in its folds. However, what is even more surprising is his extremely handsome and mature appearance. .

The man looked at Ke Weiqing, his eyes were so dark and deep, and the burning light in his eyes was like sparks from a stove, intense and passionate!

Ke Weiqing was completely stunned, the firewood crackled, the man turned his head, and looked at the surprisingly quiet children, big and small, in the room.

Tianyu and Tianchen opened their small mouths at the same time, their black eyes stared wide open, just like their father, dumbfounded.

But the difference is that the children's eyes are obviously excited, but they are too surprised to forget what to say.

The man walked in with big strides, and stopped directly in front of the dining table full of books and pens, bent down, and hugged Tianyu and Tianchen easily with each hand.

Only then did Tianyu and Tianchen take a deep breath, and shouted in unison, "Daddy! It's mother—!"

"Oh?" Surprise flashed across the man's face, and then he smiled, "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty!" That "mother" made Ke Weiqing wake up from the astonishment. Bullying the emperor is a capital crime, and he knelt down.

"Emperor?" The children, who were originally afraid of the majesty of a man, were even more frightened and fell to their knees with a crash. Only Tianyu and Tianchen were still not afraid, and looked at "Mother" with a smile.

"Mother is the emperor?" Tianyu asked, "Is it the emperor who governs the country and the people?"

Huang Ye looked at the military book on the table and said, "That's right, your father was a general who led mother to fight."

"Really? Daddy?!" Tianchen said in great surprise, "Daddy is a great general!"

"Stop making trouble! Come down quickly." Ke Weiqing was very embarrassed to see the two children hugging the emperor's neck without restraint. They looked at Huang Ye's portrait every day, and they were not afraid or unfamiliar with him. up.

"Why? They are my sons." Huang Ye looked very happy, because the spy did not tell that Ke Weiqing had given birth to a child. Even though there were many children here, he still saw them at a glance, and quickly understood this. what's going on.

The kinship of flesh and blood cannot be wiped out.

"Mom! My name is Tianyu, I'm brother." Tianyu said, patting his chest.

"My name is Tianchen, and I'm my younger brother." Tianchen was a little shy, and the two children were very happy. It seemed that they would not listen to Ke Weiqing's words.

"When the wind and snow outside subside, Father will take you home." Huang Ye said, looking at Ke Weiqing who was still kneeling on the ground, "Now, you stay here, mother has something to say to your father .”

While saying this, two eunuchs came in from the outside, took Tianyu and Tianchen away, and then came in a lot of guards, they each picked up the children in the house and sent them back.

Ke Weiqing looked outside worriedly. Not only the bridge, but also the river bank were full of people. The villagers picked up their children in a panic, but they did not retreat, still looking at the small farmyard.

"You can't escape, and the road behind the mountain is also sealed." Huang Ye said, taking off the cloak leisurely.Appearing in the hut in a dragon robe with a black background and red pattern, it looks like it is full of splendor.

"Your majesty...what are you doing...?" Ke Weiqing knew that he had no way out, or rather, after all, knowing that such a day would come, he calmed down.

"The day after they snatched your "dead body". "Huang Ye said in a low voice, walking towards Ke Weiqing, "Because Beidou said that he has studied, and Wu Que does not have the custom of being buried in his homeland."

"Ah!" Ke Weiqing forgot that Beidou likes to delve into the customs of the Wuque clan, and I'm afraid he can't hide this from him.

"So, I think your death is fake." Huang Ye sneered, "What's more, you swore that you would never leave me alone, right?"

"Your Majesty, I..." Ke Weiqing frowned and said heartbrokenly, "Yes! But don't you think that I can only truly protect you if I leave you..."

"Qing'er is already the crown prince." Huang Ye said suddenly.

"What?" Ke Weiqing looked up in surprise.

"The current imperial court is no longer what it was five years ago." Huang Ye said calmly, "The Wuque clan has been clearly defined by the law as the people of my Great Swallow, and Qing'er is the eldest son. Being named the crown prince is in line with the people's will. Yes. I wanted to arrest you immediately, no matter where you were hiding in the remotest corners of the earth, and then make you deeply regret...how reckless it is to leave me without permission. But, I also understand that you have to do it as a last resort."

"Your Majesty...!" Huang Ye actually understood her own feelings, and Ke Weiqing couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Wei Qing, you didn't cause the disaster, it's my selfishness and incompetence that kept you in the position of being framed." Huang Ye stretched out his hand and helped Ah Weiqing up, "So, I decided to reshape Wuque Since Qing'er is a legitimate prince, you... should be the mother of the country."

"Ah?!" Ke Weiqing never thought of becoming a queen!No, the queen must be someone the emperor likes!Ke Weiqing remembered that when Huang Ye was still the prince, he stubbornly refused to choose the princess because he wanted to find someone he loved.Also, someone who can share his worries!

"After thinking about it, I really can't fall in love with anyone else except you." Huang Ye pulled Ke Weiqing closer, looking at the face that made him feel so painful and yearning day and night.

"Your majesty, you said you..." Tears rolled down Ke Weiqing's face, he sucked in his breath, "Love me...?"

"Yes, I love you. Maybe I have misunderstood your intentions since the first time I saw you..." Huang Ye held Ke Weiqing's reddish, tear-wet face with his broad palm, "If you If you don’t love me, how can you stay by my side and go through life and death for me again and again? I didn’t understand such a simple truth until now.”

"Your Majesty, I have always...always...liked you...but...but!" The love that has been hidden for decades bursts out like a dike at this moment, and all kinds of heartache, joy and grievances make Ke Weiqing helpless Controlling her tears, she whimpered like a child.

Huang Ye kissed Ke Weiqing's eyelashes, nose, and lips. The two couldn't help but kiss deeply, and finally hugged each other tightly, with the heartbeat beating fiercely in their ears, and outside the paper window, snowflakes were flapping .

"It seems that it's too early for the wind and snow to subside." Huang Ye said with a smile, took Ke Weiqing's hand, and walked to the back room...

The next day, in the early morning when the sun was shining, Huang Ye's army, as well as the carriage with Ke Weiqing and Tianyu Tianchen, set off from the south village entrance to the imperial city.

Many folks came out to see him off. Hearing that Ke Weiqing would be Dayan's queen, they were both surprised and perplexed. They always felt that they had neglected him and asked him to help with this and that.

Ke Weiqing felt embarrassed instead, he is a man, how could he become a queen?Brother Lu patted Ke Weiqing on the shoulder and asked him to come back and sit down when he had time.This is also the queen's natal home, isn't it?

The villagers echoed one after another, with pride and joy on their faces.Some people set off fireworks and firecrackers. In such a lively atmosphere, Ke Weiqing bid farewell to the mountain village where he had lived for more than four years, and returned to Huang Ye's side with still uneasy feelings.

※※※

A vermilion palace lantern with tassels hanging under the high eaves of the palace, the candlelight shines through the lampshade painted with phoenix feathers on thin silk, shining brilliantly in this early spring night.

As the protagonist of the night, Ke Weiqing is wearing a bright red brocade robe and a feather crown carved with a golden phoenix. If you look closely, the phoenix bird is very unique, just like the birthmark on his body, it is in the form of a witch sparrow spreading its wings.

Ke Weiqing couldn't believe all these things, including the newlywed bridal chamber, Huang Ye had prepared it early in the morning. In order to make him the empress, Huang Ye had amended the national laws four years ago, and Qing'er was also made the crown prince.

In Huang Ye's words, the former emperor let the crown prince be vacant for 32 years, and the brothers were intriguing and conspiring constantly for this. Is he going to repeat the same mistakes and let the queen be vacant for decades?Isn't this harem in chaos?

Ke Weiqing couldn't help but retaliate, if so, why didn't he choose the queen early?

Huang Ye smiled and said that there is a candidate, but he is afraid that the person will not agree.

Ke Weiqing couldn't help asking, "Didn't I agree?" Huang Ye smiled and didn't answer.

So, until the night of the wedding, Ke Weiqing still couldn't figure out what Huang Ye wanted. He knew that Huang Ye liked him, but how much did he like him?Would it be like myself, desperate, even without dignity?

A man, and already 32 years old, would put on a wedding dress and become a queen. Ke Weiqing really felt that he was extremely ashamed!

However, because all this is done in accordance with the customs of the Wuque people, and Wuque originally had the saying "husband, husband and monarch", all civil and military officials felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and even though the emperor and the queen were husband and wife, they were also married. Monarchs and ministers, according to Dayan's etiquette system, did not exceed the rules.

The empress dowager, the grandson whom the late emperor loved, had never had any heirs and should be deposed, but she sat firmly on the empress position because the emperor loved her so much.Isn't Ke Weiqing the same?She is also the "mother" of the prince.More qualified to be a queen.

Hearing such agreeable statements made Ke Weiqing feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Why did you come out? Shouldn't you be waiting for me on the wedding bed?" Suddenly, Huang Ye came out from the other side of the corridor with a smile on his face. He should accompany the princes to drink wedding wine. At this moment, he should have sneaked away come out.

"Long live..." Ke Weiqing immediately knelt down to receive him.

"Get up, we're both husband and wife, so this is a great gift." Huang Ye helped Ke Weiqing up, looked at him and said, "You don't mean to run away, do you?"

"No..." Ke Weiqing bit her lip and finally asked, "I just want to know why you don't blame me... Anyway, I'm just pretending to be dead..."

"Didn't I punish you? Let you stay by my side forever." Huang Ye held Ke Weiqing's hand and whispered.

"This isn't punishment at all, is it? It's something I've longed for all my life." Ke Weiqing looked up at Huang Ye, "You don't know how happy I am."

"You don't know how much I love you, this kind of love has long surpassed anger. Of course, I was so angry at the time, I wished I could grab everyone around me and let them be "buried" with you! "Huang Ye said, holding Ke Weiqing's hand tightly.

"emperor……"

"However, because of your "death", I have seen a fact clearly. "Huang Ye lowered her head, staring at the ever-clear black eyes.After so many years, he finally saw clearly that the light that was always shining was Ke Weiqing's love for him that Ke Weiqing wanted to hide.

"I always thought that "the world" was what I wanted to grasp the most, but only then did I realize that without you, what's the use of having the world?I can live without the throne and the people, but I can't live without you! "

"Your Majesty..." Ke Weiqing couldn't help sobbing.

"Wei Qing, without you, I will definitely become the most violent and stupid emperor in history, so you have to stay with me until the end, understand?"

"Well. I won't leave you again." Ke Weiqing embraced Huang Ye emotionally, "I finally caught you." After so many years of obsessively following her, her soul trembled.

"I should be the one who said this, right?" Huang Ye smiled, and continued, "That day, I said you disagreed, shouldn't you be in a hurry?"

"Hey?"

"I did it on purpose, I haven't seen you panicking for a long time."

"Your Majesty!" Ke Weiqing couldn't help but blushed, but he immediately said, "Didn't I agree?"

"If you agree, you will never regret it for the rest of your life." Huang Ye smiled and put his arms around Ke Weiqing's shoulders, "Although I really want to just carry you to the bridal chamber, but before..."

Huang Ye let go of his hand suddenly, then turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor, "Get rid of these boys first."

"Oh! I was discovered by my mother!" Tianyu cried out.

"Damn it, I didn't even see a kiss!" Yan'er muttered very dissatisfied.

Eight-year-old Qing'er took the lead, leading seven-year-old Yan'er, five-year-old Tianyu and Tianchen, hiding behind the pillars to peek.

"It's said to be happy if you have a bridal chamber!" Qing'er said, looking like a little grown-up.

"You guys! It's time to sleep!" Ke Weiqing pressed his aching forehead, Tianyu and Tianchen soon became the nightmare of the harem.

Moreover, they are very close to their two elder brothers. If you have a good life, you will enjoy it together, and if you have trouble together, you will have a lot of loyalty.So, leaving aside the nanny and the guards, they slipped out to "make trouble in the bridal chamber", and they were all together.

"Mom! I'm hungry! The elder brother said, there is a big table of delicious food in Daddy's room..." Tian Chen hurriedly moved the soldiers and hugged Huang Ye's thigh.

"Okay, I'll take you to eat until you're full. But after that, you must go back to sleep obediently and don't make trouble anymore." Huang Ye knew that they would not let it go if they failed to achieve their goal.

"Great!"

"Walk well." Ke Weiqing picked up Tianyu who was about to fall, and held Tianchen with one hand, while Huang Ye took Qing'er and Yan'er, the six of them talked and laughed, and went to the other end of the corridor.

The two big and four young figures left long shadows on the floor tiles, and the laughter and laughter never dissipated for a long time.

In the future, they will always be together, stay together forever, and never be separated again.

——The end of the book——

"Spring in the Garden" extra chapter

The fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival.

It is a traditional custom of Dayan to watch the lanterns on the moon and have fun with the whole country. At the same time, it is the emperor's birthday - Longevity Festival.

Huang Ye issued an imperial decree, from the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, three days of court service, Jin Wu couldn't help it.During this period, there was an endless stream of crowns, tourists, lights and festivals, and the noise was full.

As for the empress Ke Weiqing, since the [-]th day of the New Year's Eve, she has been very busy.From worshiping ancestors, burning incense, and kowtow, to cleaning the palace and temples, celebrating the Buddhas, receiving many congratulations from courtiers and royal families, and setting up a reunion banquet in Changchun Palace.

The affairs he shared for the emperor was not limited to this part, he also reviewed dozens of memorials handed in years ago, most of which were about receiving and returning gifts.

Regardless of the fact that gifts from various countries are presented every year, but this time the gift part is different, and it takes a lot of thought.

Ke Weiqing carefully calculated that what was sent to Liang State was jade and silk, and what was sent to Xia State was Buddha statues and tea... He did not favor one or the other, and also followed the preferences of the monarchs, the best of both worlds.In this way, everything was done personally, although it took a lot of effort, but the effect was excellent, Huang Ye and the envoys were all very satisfied.

When it came to the Lantern Festival, which was also the day of Longevity Festival, Ke Weiqing invited many relatives of ministers into the palace to visit the garden, enjoy flowers, and guess lantern riddles.

At the beginning of night, all the lanterns were lit, and when the night was like day, everyone enjoyed the lanterns and drank wine leisurely, and Ke Weiqing also had a half-time leisure, sitting down and resting in the newly furnished corridor.

"I want to become a lantern." Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around Ke Weiqing's shoulders from behind the chair and hugged him tightly.

"Why does the emperor want to be watched?" Ke Weiqing still closed his eyes, with a warm smile on his lips.

"That's not true. I saw that you put so much thought into choosing each lantern by yourself, hey, I'm really jealous!" Huang Ye said, and gathered his arms a little more, as if he didn't want to let go anymore.

"If you say that, I still want to turn it into a memorial, so that you can worry about it day and night." Ke Weiqing lightly held Huang Ye's hand, and looked up at Huang Ye under the palace lantern.He is wearing a nine-dragon golden crown, and the jade beads on it are shaking slightly, and the brilliance is flowing.

No matter what time this face looks, it is always so upright and handsome. The dark eyes are as deep as encompassing the universe, but they also contain a deep love, which makes people ecstatic!

Ke Weiqing wanted to pay back to Huang Ye, but at this moment she suddenly became shy, turned her eyes away, and wanted to run away.

"Wei Qing," Huang Ye grabbed Ke Weiqing's hand and said enthusiastically, "Come on, let's go outside to play and bring the emperor and the others."

"Going outside? Outside the palace?" Ke Weiqing was taken aback, then asked.

"Well! Clothes, chariots and horses are all ready." Huang Ye looked at the courtiers and family members shuttling in the imperial garden, "Here, Li Deyi will naturally take care of him."

"Your Majesty, didn't you plan it early in the morning?" Huang Ye did it a few times before when he went on tour in a micro-service, when he was cleaning up corrupt officials.But it was the first time for him to go out to play, and he brought those four little devil kings with him.

Thinking of this, Ke Weiqing's head began to ache.

However, after finally having a chance to go out with the family, it wouldn't attract so much attention at night. Ke Weiqing couldn't help but nodded and agreed.

Two brisk carriages drove out from the east gate of the palace without attracting any attention, and then went south along the imperial road, and soon merged into the dotted traffic flow.

This year's Lantern Market has six avenues running across the capital, and even the yamen are hung with lanterns without exception.The children were in groups of three or four, holding rabbit lanterns and tiger lanterns in their hands, and they squeezed through the crowd. It was difficult for the carriage to even turn around. Huang Ye and Ke Weiqing, who were dressed in casual clothes, got off at the entrance of the bustling market.

In the back, the princes couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car, and jumped down one by one.

"Be careful, don't bump into anyone." Ke Weiqing couldn't help reminding.They always make troubles in the palace, but when they are outside, they are like wild horses that have run wild without any restraint.

"Understood, Dad! I'm here!" Qing'er tilted her head, revealing a lovely smile.As the elder brother, and already nine years old, he is very good at taking care of his three younger brothers, but at the same time, he is the least courageous, and will cry when scared by bugs.

"Don't worry, Daddy! I'll watch over the emperor, no, it's the elder brother's!" The second brother Yan'er quickly changed his words, and looked around carefully, but fortunately, there was a lot of people and drums, and no one cared about this place.

"Let's come and take care of the two older brothers!" Tianyu and Tianchen said at the same time, as if they had forgotten that it was they who put the caterpillar into Brother Dahuang's bookcase and frightened him.

"You should be optimistic about yourselves, it's all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river." Ke Weiqing smiled wryly.

"Little brother, what does the clay bodhisattva mean by crossing the river?" Tianyu tilted his head, blinking his eyes and asked his younger brother.

"It's hard to protect yourself. Hehe, you don't even understand this?" Tianchen covered his mouth and laughed.

"Ah! How dare you laugh at my brother?! You are treasonous!" Tianyu made a gesture to hit his younger brother, Yan'er helped to protect him, but Qing'er had already run to the front to watch the lion dance. They squeezed through.

"Don't get lost!" Ke Weiqing couldn't help but want to go get the child, but the four guys ran to the front in the blink of an eye.

"You don't have to worry." Huang Ye said softly, looking aside.

After a few black shadows flashed, they followed the princes.

"Is it the Iron Eagle Knight?"

"Well, Qingyun heard that we were going out to play tonight, so we made arrangements." Huang Ye said with a look of ease.Birthdays are celebrated in the palace every year, which is a bit boring, and Ke Weiqing has to entertain officials all night, which will be very tiring.

So, he decided to go out to play in the palace, of course it was a secret.

"How come... I was the last one to know?" Ke Weiqing frowned, for such a big thing as going out of the palace...

"It's a surprise." Huang Ye held Ke Weiqing and muttered, "There are so many people, don't get lost."

"Let go! I'm not a child!" Ke Weiqing said with a blushing face, but she couldn't resist Huang Ye's wrist strength, so she could only let him drag her forward.

On the square in front, seven or eight stages were set up, with waist drums, flower drums, gongs and drums ringing together.Songs, dances, stilts and juggling took turns, which was much more lively than the operas in the palace.In addition, there are other things like kicking stone balls and running bamboo horses. The children were stunned and couldn't walk for a long time.

There are also people selling fireworks, such as the Seven Star Array, Peony Array, and Baizichuan flower boxes. Someone bought it and set it off on the street.

Qing'er took out her small purse and bought several handfuls of the latest rotating fireworks. The three younger brothers wanted them, so he distributed them among them.

I wanted to find an open space to put it there, but there were people everywhere, so Ke Weiqing led the children to eat, and sat in the temporary lantern watching building on the side of the street.

Huang Ye ordered a steamed chestnut cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, four pearl-sesame Yuanxiao, a basket of fragrant glutinous bean paste longevity peach buns for them, and ordered a pot of Lihuaxiang, and toasted with Ke Weiqing.

Because it was the Longevity Festival, each longevity peach bun was made extra large, with a red dragon pattern paper-cut on it, which looked so beautiful that the children were clamoring for the buns!

"Come on, let's toast!" Huang Ye said to Ke Weiqing, holding a wine glass.

"Again? Are you trying to get me drunk?" Ke Weiqing couldn't help staring at the emperor, who drank three glasses in a row.

"It doesn't matter, you should have fun during the festival, besides, if you get drunk, I will carry you back."

"Mom! I want to recite it too!" Tianchen cried out excitedly after hearing this, but he still hasn't given up the habit of calling Huang Ye his mother.

"You are already six years old, do you still need an adult to recite it?" Huang Ye asked.

"Then daddy is older!" Tianchen pouted, with bun stuffing still on his face.

"That's different, your father is my lover..." Huang Ye took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped Tian Chen's face.

"What is a 'lover'? "Tianchen couldn't understand.

"You'll know when you grow up."

"Why do I have to grow up to know? Can't I know now?" Tian Chen loves to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

"Okay, Chen'er, your father is teasing you, hurry up and eat." Before Huang Ye could say something terrible, Ke Weiqing took the lead, "It won't taste good when it's cold."

"Oh." Tianchen listened to Ke Weiqing's words very much, picked up the chestnut cake with chopsticks.However, they soon started fighting because they were caught in the same piece with Tianyu.

"Give me!"

"not mine!"

"Don't make trouble! Half for each person!" Ke Weiqing calmed down by separating the cakes with chopsticks and putting them in their bowls.Seeing that Ke Weiqing was either taking care of Tianchen and Tianyu, or hugging Yan'er and Qing'er, without him in his eyes, Huang Ye couldn't help feeling a little jealous, and drank wine sourly.

It is true that many children bring blessings, but after having a child, Ke Weiqing obviously put him in the second place, no, Qinger is the first, Yaner is the second, Tianyu and Tianchen are the third and fourth, Isn't he in fifth?This status is too low.

"Are you full?" After a while, the plates and steamer were all empty, Ke Weiqing asked the child with a smile.

"full!"

"The buns are delicious!"

"Daddy, we want lanterns! Lion's!" Tianyu and Yan'er jumped off the bench and started arguing.

"understood."

Huang Ye hugged them.

At this time, there was a bang, and a bright light flashed ahead.

"Wow, what a big peony!" A huge green peony bloomed in the night sky, and the children were immediately attracted!

The guests who were eating in the building immediately checked out as soon as they saw it, and excitedly yelled, ""Hidden Hole" has begun!Hurry up and play, it will be closed if you get there late! "

"Is there a hole in the sky?" Huang Ye and Ke Weiqing couldn't help but look at each other. Where is that?

"Let's go and have a look too." Ke Weiqing said, holding Tianyu and Yan'er by the hand.

"Okay." Huang Ye tipped the shop waiter, and led them towards the direction of the crowded crowd.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

Although I knew that this year's Lantern Fair was very big, Ke Weiqing and the children all opened their mouths wide, raised their heads, and sighed repeatedly when they saw the archway "There is a hole in the sky" built with [-] lanterns.

"Come, come! Ten coins for adults, five coins for children, you can enjoy it for two hours, Mr. Bao is satisfied!"

There were three or four merchants in flowered clothes, soliciting customers under the archway. In fact, tourists put copper coins into the cash box without their greetings.

Then, go through the archway and go inside. It is a building surrounded by bamboo fences, straws, and wooden boards, like a city, and there are two "city gates" on the left and right, with "green dragon and white tiger" carved respectively.

"It's very interesting." Huang Ye said, took out his money bag, and stopped a vendor, "There are six of us, two older and four younger."

"Thank you, sir. It's a total of [-] Wen." The vendor said enthusiastically, and gave back six small wooden tokens, which represented admission tickets.
