Succession of Rebirth

The snow has covered the earth with white clothes. It is already midwinter, but unexpectedly the streets are not deserted, but bustling. Everyone has a joyful smile on their faces. The coldness of midwinter seems to have no effect on It's only natural that they are not in a good mood. It's the Chinese New Year, no matter how cold the weather is, these days will still warm people's hearts, warm enough to melt the cold of winter.

The common people celebrate the New Year, the rich celebrate the New Year, the officials celebrate the New Year, and the royal family also celebrate the New Year. This is a day of universal celebration. Even the two sides who are fighting will stop on New Year’s Eve and the two days before the New Year to enjoy the annual festival. During the festive season, these three days are the most peaceful three days.

Qinghui Palace, Chengxu, who was imprisoned, naturally no one would come to pay him New Year's greetings. In the deserted courtyard, Chengxu didn't feel lonely. , sitting quietly under the eaves, admiring the silent white beauty in midwinter.

There are no fireworks in this world, so the festive sky is so peaceful, with little snowflakes dancing lightly, embellishing the world shrouded in darkness.

What time is it now? Chengxu has no intention to perceive it. Year after year, there is nothing new or joyful for him to say. The reincarnation of hundreds of generations and the years in Zixiao Palace have made him more and more indifferent to the meaning of time. That's it, nothing else.

He knew that today is New Year's Eve, a day of celebration, and the new year will be soon, and this day should be a joyous day for family reunion.I remember that in the first year when he was imprisoned in his last life, he hoped that his father would be kind enough to let him attend the New Year's Eve dinner, but he waited until dawn, but he didn't get the will. On the first day of the New Year, he No joy, only tears of sorrow to accompany.In the second year, he was still looking forward to it, but the result was still disappointment. In the third year, the fourth year, ... finally numb.

But now, in the first year of being imprisoned in Qinghui Palace, he forgot about the New Year. If he didn't see that there were more New Year items in the things prepared by the palace people, he wouldn't even know that the New Year had already passed.In the second year, he still didn't pay attention, and in the third year, he still missed it. In this year, Ye Xuan's sudden appearance and the mention of the New Year made him realize that it was coming.

This time, because he noticed it, he didn't miss it, but it was no different, he was still alone.

I also didn't have the idea of ​​waiting for the arrival of the New Year. When the time came, I put away my things and went back to the bedroom. After taking a comfortable hot bath, I was ready to sleep.

It's really cold in winter. When I got up from the comfortable hot water, I trembled instinctively as soon as I touched the cold air. I quickly wiped off the water on my body, put on obscene clothes, put on a thick winter coat, and wrapped myself Alright, with a bit of haste, I headed to the bed that would keep me warm.

But he didn't want someone else to enter the bed that belonged to him.

Today is the New Year's Eve banquet. According to the rules, there will be a big banquet for the officials. Since they are officials, they will naturally have to make some sacrifices. On this New Year's Eve, they can't spend it with their families, but after watching the new year with the emperor in the palace. , to return home.

Except for the younger princes and princesses, anyone who participated in the New Year's Eve banquet was not allowed to leave first, but for such a dinner, how can those who can participate not know the importance and proportion? It's not a banquet held by ordinary people's homes, but the Lord of the Huan Kingdom. If you don't give the Lord of the Huan Kingdom face, then your future official career will be bleak.

I don't know what happened today. There was an extra screen in front of His Majesty's Royal Majesty. Although the concubines, princes and princesses, and the ministers felt strange, they didn't dare to ask more questions. They kept their doubts in their hearts, and then started the New Year's Eve banquet.

After a series of etiquette procedures were completed, no one knew that the emperor should have quietly left behind the screen.Only the emperor's close servant, Eunuch De, knows this. As the emperor's confidant, Eunuch De has the ability to allow the emperor to leave without being discovered, and that is ventriloquism.

After Luo Xuanyan left, it was this father-in-law who imitated Luo Xuanyan's voice. If someone noticed, they would find the difference. After all, compared with Luo Xuanyan, father-in-law's voice was less powerful and dignified, but here At the New Year’s Eve banquet, the noisy singing and dancing just covered up this point, and with the praise that it’s just good, no one noticed the emperor’s departure. At the end of the New Year’s Eve banquet, it was Eunuch De who announced the end, and then imitated the steps of the emperor’s departure Under the cover of the screen, no one will know that there is no one behind it.

Luo Xuanyan didn't know why he decided to leave early, but when he mentioned that he wanted to come over that day, there was a bit of a difference in the succession, and then he suddenly realized that the expression of going to the New Year always appeared in his mind. In Qinghui Palace, there are only four seasons, day and night, making Chengxu even forget the time.It is also inadvertently thinking that in the winter when it snows, Chengxuan sits alone in Qinghui Palace and spends the New Year alone.

Just like that, he decided to leave the New Year's Eve banquet on this New Year's Eve night, go to Qinghui Hall to spend this New Year's Eve with Chengxu, and decided to stay in Qinghui Hall today.

Luo Xuanyan didn't understand the origin of this impulse, and gave himself an explanation in his heart, which was to shorten the relationship between him and the continuation.In contact with Chengxu, he has already discovered that Chengxu's attitude towards him is very flat, and he talks a lot, and Chengxu doesn't mind revealing a lot of thoughts and exposing his unknown wisdom, but this is not intimacy, and it does not involve at all. For any feelings, he is just a person who appears by his side, no matter how much he knows, even if he reveals the secret of the inheritance, the inheritance will not care.

As far as the pure result is concerned, there is nothing wrong with this, because what he wants to know is the true face of Chengxu. In this situation, Chengxu will naturally reveal the truth in front of him, but he just doesn't think it's good. This kind of honesty without emotion made him feel very uncomfortable.

Luo Xuanyan didn't notice it, he made an excuse for himself, he wanted to subdue Chengxu and let Chengxu take the initiative to contribute his wisdom, so the relationship between him and Chengxu had to be emotional.However, Luo Xuanyan forgot that he is not Ye Xuan, he is Luo Xuanyan, the emperor who abandoned Chengxu, when his true face is revealed in front of Chengxu, the relationship between him and Ye Xuan can make Cheng Continue to forgive?Or maybe, Luo Xuanyan is very confident, with his means, when he reveals Luo Xuanyan's identity, Chengxu can't escape his palm.

Luo Xuanyan transformed into Yexuan and visited Qinghui Hall. There was no one in the yard, only the lanterns under the eaves were shining, but Luo Xuanyan quickly found his target, and the bright lights in the bedroom were the pointer.

Luo Xuanyan, who is highly skilled in martial arts, entered the bedroom very dexterously and lightly. Today's inherited martial arts is not high, and the perception of the ascetic has unfortunately not recovered, so he did not notice the entry of the unexpected guest.

Hearing the sound of water rustling behind the screen, Luo Xuanyan also knew what Chengxu was doing at this time, and he lay down on the bed without being alarmed. He originally planned to stay overnight tonight.

In the first and second grades of the Huan Kingdom, there is no early dynasty, and there is no need to worship the ancestors. The rule set by the founder of the Huan Kingdom is to worship after the [-]th day of each year. The benevolent founder of the country thought, During the Chinese New Year, why bother to work so many people to worry about the public for a ceremony, and not to rest. During the Chinese New Year, you should take a good rest, not only for the king, but also for the ministers and the palace people who serve them.

Luo Xuanyan lay on the bed, did not do any entertainment, just looked at the screen, waiting for Chengxu to come out, he thought about what Chengxu would look like when he appeared.

When Chengxu came out from the screen, he saw that Chengxu was different from usual.

Her hair was covered with water vapor, her face was glowing red because of the heat, the heat of the hot water was still lingering around her body, and when she came into contact with the cold air, a faint mist was formed, and she looked like she was tightly wrapped in winter clothes, which made the succession possible A childish cuteness.

The inheritance that Luo Xuanyan knows now, always expresses leisurely and freehand, with an extraordinary sense of being out of the world, braving an unfathomable taste, but now this kind of immaturity, in Luo Xuanyan's eyes, is just It looks very cute.Inexplicably, the childhood inheritance in his memory was inexplicably tumbling out, the cute era when he was short and fat, with short hands and short feet, and the current appearance of the inheritance was superimposed, and the cute image wrapped in things overlapped .

Luo Xuanyan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chengxu hasn't discovered Luo Xuanyan's true identity yet, with such shallow skills, he can't see what Luo Xuanyan is thinking in his heart. For Luo Xuanyan's laughter, he can only take it as a mockery of his fear of the cold.He didn't care about it in his heart, and he didn't think about changing his behavior wrapped in winter clothes.

This is an instinctive reaction, why can he change for some people, even if he loses face in the eyes of others, it doesn't matter, he doesn't want to make himself feel uncomfortable because of this.

"Why are you here?" Wrapped in winter clothes, the effect of the hot bath has not faded, and it is still warm now, but the bed is occupied by someone, and Chengxu can't get into the bed.

"Happy New Year to you." Luo Xuanyan was a master of martial arts, to the point where he could not be invaded by cold and heat, so he didn't feel cold, and lay lazily on his side on the bed, propping his head with one hand, and responded to Chengxu's question.

"Auspicious new year. Thank you, you can go." After a new year's greeting, he began to chase people away.

"I want to celebrate the New Year with you." Luo Xuanyan had no intention of accepting the continued behavior of driving people away.

"Thank you, I don't have anything to entertain here." Cheng Xu continued to chase people away.

"Your bed is quite big." The underlying meaning is that I am not leaving, I will stay here tonight, there is no guest room, and I will share a bed with you.

Seeing someone lying on his bed, not intending to leave, Cheng continued to raise his eyebrows, "You are forcing me to do something."

"If you have the ability." Relying on his high martial arts skills, Luo Xuanyan did not take Chengxu's threat seriously.
