Rebirth of the fairy in the painting

The news that Emperor Mingde bestowed a marriage on the fifth prince, and that the object was a man, spread like wildfire in Daxia, because the rumors released by the prince first did not cause much scolding. On the contrary, some people said that Emperor Mingde obeyed the destiny , An Xining and Zihua were a match made in heaven, and there were many voices of opposition, but they were all drowned out in the voices of approval.

In the palace, the Queen is pulling An Xining and Zi Hua to choose an auspicious time, and the Crown Princess is accompanying her.

The queen picked out the time carefully with this almanac, pointed to one of the pages and said, "Look, what about the eighth day of the third lunar month, it's suitable for marriage and travel, it couldn't be better."

After seeing it, the Crown Princess nodded again and again and said: "Mother, this day is really good, I wonder what the fifth younger brother and Mr. Lin think?"

Zi Hua had no objection to this, but An Xining frowned: "Mother, it's only the tenth day of the first month, and it will take two months until the eighth day of the third month."

The queen scolded with a smile: "Ning'er, you can't wait for two months?"

"That's right, Erchen can't wait any longer. Queen Mother, you can choose a closer date for Erchen."

Both the queen and the princess couldn't help laughing, and joked: "As for the day, the choice is tight. It takes three mediators and six recruits to work for a month in private marriages, let alone you marrying a prince? Besides, what's more? Next time you want to open a mansion and house. In just these two months, my mother must not rush the people who handle things? It just happens that there are many years, and my mother is afraid that the time will not be enough. You are fine, and you think it is too long , if it is done next month, the people in this palace will probably be very busy."

The concubine also echoed: "Fifth brother, don't be too anxious. The rice is already in the pot. Are you afraid that you won't be able to cook it? Besides, getting married is a major event in life. You must not be sloppy and wronged Mr. Lin. Secondly, Mr. Lin's parents Zongbing Lin and Mrs. Lin also need to send someone to notify them quickly so that they can come as soon as possible, after all, Xuancheng is still some distance away from the capital, so we should be more careful about safety on the road."

The queen said happily: "Shuqing is still thoughtful. The queen mother is getting old now, and she doesn't want to interfere with many things in the harem. I just want you to give birth to a little grandson to take care of the queen mother. The queen mother will be satisfied."

The crown princess blushed, and lowered her head to touch her belly. Her eyes were full of happiness and sweetness. An Xining looked at it with envy, and quietly said to Zihua, "We will have a baby, too."

Zihua became furious and hit him on the waist. An Xining grinned in pain but dared not say that this man's waist was a matter of his life's happiness, how could he be injured casually.

"I want to give birth to you."

An Xining had a bitter face. If he had this ability, he wouldn't mind giving birth. The point is that he doesn't have it!

Seeing their small movements, the queen smiled at the princess, pulled Zi Hua and An Xining and said, "In addition to choosing the auspicious time today, I also want to measure the size of your clothes for you to make wedding clothes. Everyone is in the side hall Waiting here."

"After thanking my mother, my son will go with Zihua."

In the side hall, Zihua looked at a group of people measuring and scratching him with an uncomfortable expression. He didn't like to touch strangers, but he couldn't refuse the matter of tailoring clothes, so he could only stand still and pretend People around do not exist.

An Xining couldn't help laughing when he saw him looking so far away, touched him and said, "Zi Hua, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. I'll take you to see the lanterns then."

Zihua disdained: "Don't go, you can also see the lanterns in the mansion."

Knowing that he didn't understand, An Xining explained patiently: "The lanterns that night were quite different from the ones we usually watch in the mansion. Then the capital will be very lively, with juggling snacks, fireworks, and firecrackers. You can find anything you want to see. .”

Zihua was successfully aroused, his eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, let's go to see the lantern."

Time flies, and it is the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye. Before it is completely dark, there are vendors hanging out lanterns on the street, occupying a favorable position early.

An Xining specially asked Emperor Mingde for leave tonight, and slipped out of the palace to spend the festival with Zihua.It is a tradition to eat glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival, which means reunion, and it is the first time for the two to spend the festival together, so the meanings are naturally different, so they discussed making glutinous rice balls by themselves.

The last time Zihua was laughed at by An Xining for his cooking skills, he felt ashamed, so he secretly went to practice a few times, so he still looked good when making glutinous rice balls this time. It's horrible to describe.

The flour and fillings were prepared by Chef Chen long ago, and the two of them only needed to knead them into shapes, but An Xining found it difficult for the seemingly simple task, the soft dough was not heavy No, the stuffing inside is still flowing out, and it is finally wrapped into a ball. The flour is full of small cracks, and the sesame stuffing is all stuck to the skin.

An Xining didn't want Zihua to make a joke, and while he wasn't paying attention, he secretly wanted to destroy the glutinous rice balls he made, but was seen by the sharp-eyed little wolf, who whined and attracted Zihua's attention. Drawing a look of hesitating to speak, An Xining even wanted to strangle the little wolf to death.

"Xining," Zihua tried hard to think of euphemistic words, "I think it's really difficult for you to make glutinous rice balls, so you should make glutinous rice balls without filling."

An Xining felt that his self-esteem had been deeply hurt, but as a man, how could he give up so easily, so he packed up his broken heart, and ran to the other side with a small plate of stuffing and dough Started tinkering.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After experiencing a series of tragic events such as revealing, crushing, and falling to the ground, An Xining finally made his first glutinous rice balls completely. When he went to show off to Zihua, he was hit hard by reality. He saw that there were more than 20 glutinous rice balls neatly stacked in front of Zihua, which really shocked him.

After half a stick of incense, the strong An Xining came back with a plate of glutinous rice balls, and squeezed his glutinous rice balls into the middle of the glutinous rice balls in Zihua's bag one by one, just like the relationship between him and Zihua, it's all about you I, with you in me, cannot be more harmonious.

Looking at the pile of glutinous rice balls, Zi Hua raised his eyebrows, grabbed An Xining's hand in disgust, and asked, "Did you not wash your hands before making the glutinous rice balls?"

An Xining yelled at being wronged, thinking that he is the prince of a country, how could he do such a thing, Zihua ignored his excuse, pointed at the glutinous rice balls on the table and said: "Look, why are the glutinous rice balls you make so so? black?"

An Xining looked intently, and saw that there were indeed some dark, crooked melon and split date balls mixed in a pile of white and tender balls, just like a group of pheasants mixed into a pile of phoenixes. It's too ugly to look at, but I really washed my hands before making glutinous rice balls!

"Maybe it's the lighting problem." An Xining said weakly, a little lacking in confidence.

Zi Hua sneered: "The light really favors me, it hit all the glutinous rice balls I made."

An Xining lowered his head a little more, and carefully studied the nail on his index finger, as if a flower had bloomed there.

Zihua's heart felt refreshed for a while, and it was worth it that he secretly got up in the middle of the night yesterday to practice making glutinous rice balls.

When the glutinous rice balls were cooked by Chef Chen and served, Zi Hua deliberately scooped out a glutinous rice ball with a porcelain spoon, and said to An Xining, "You must have made this, because it looks the darkest among the white ones. "

Angry, An Xining bit the porcelain spoon in Zi Hua's hand and put the glutinous rice balls into his mouth, while Zi Hua was in a daze, he caught him and kissed him.

Zihua wanted to struggle, but An Xining tightly bound his hands and feet, his lips and teeth were pried open, something soft and slippery was pushed into his mouth, and he was bitten while pulling, and a strong sesame aroma broke through the wall and burst out. With the rustling sweetness covering the tongue, Zi Hua couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Is it sweet?" An Xining smiled, his brows and eyes curved, and his smug little face made Zihua's eyes glaring.

An Xining loved Zihua so much, he put his arms around him and said, "Look, even though I don't look good, my heart is still sweet, right? And the glutinous rice balls just now were half of you and half of me. Do you know what that means?"

"What does it represent?"

"It means that you and I are together to be reunited."

Zi Hua suddenly blushed, remembering that two months later he and An Xining would become a real husband and wife, experiencing wind and rain and warmth together, suddenly full of expectations for the future.

The two of them went out after eating the glutinous rice balls. Because it was the Lantern Festival, the capital city was closed tonight. There was a lot of traffic and tourists. The restaurants and shops on both sides of the road were decorated with lights and festoons everywhere. Congratulations, the hearts of those who watched were delighted.

There are dense stalls lined up on the street, some selling snacks, and some selling all kinds of small accessories. The lucky Chang'e lantern, and all kinds of exquisite palace lanterns of his own, could not take his eyes off Zihua, and exclaimed repeatedly. After walking around for half a circle, he already had a carp lantern and a palace lantern in his hand.

Because there were so many tourists on the road, An Xining was afraid of being crowded into Zihua, so he used his hands to create a small space for Zihua along the way, but in this way, he himself was squeezed enough.

"Xining, why is it so lively ahead?"

An Xining looked in the direction Zihua pointed, and saw a circle of people in front of the lantern booth, all of them looked passionate and cheered.

"It should be guessing lantern riddles. Let's go and see Zihua."

Of course, Zi Hua would not refuse, so he pulled An Xining and walked over, finally squeezed to the front, the two of them looked intently, and saw two or three rows of lanterns hung on the stall owner's stall, all of which were exquisitely crafted and ingenious , no wonder so many people come here to guess the riddle.

The stall owner saw two well-dressed young masters coming, and immediately greeted them courteously: "Would you like to come and guess the lantern riddles, two young masters? You can take five copper plates and guess which one you like as long as you correctly guess the riddles inside." , what do you think?"

Usually the price of lanterns is around [-] copperplates, and the lanterns made by this stall owner are really beautiful, so many people are trying their luck, Zihua is no exception, and immediately nodded in agreement.
