Two days before New Year's Eve, Concubine Rou asked her confidants to send several letters to Huo Ran, telling her how much she missed her brother and the joy of having a child, but unfortunately there was no news from them.
No matter how stupid Concubine Rou was, she understood that Huo Ran was unwilling to let Xiao Huaian stand by her side. She was already irritable during pregnancy, but now she smashed more than a dozen vases in a fit of anger.
She secretly swears that the Huo family's treatment of her now is inhumane; in the future, when her son inherits the throne, don't blame her for being difficult, and will never admit that the Huo family is her natal family.
Originally, Concubine Rou wanted to take the opportunity to flirt with Emperor Yuanhe and corrupt Huo Ran. It's a pity that, as the year approaches, Yuanhe Emperor has never been here, and they all went to mourn Concubine Shu.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Lujing had been buzzing with firecrackers since early in the morning.
Bai Yao was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, she hugged the quilt and sat on the bed in a daze, not even noticing that the clothes on her left shoulder fell onto her arms.
Who am I?Where am I?what happened?
Xiao Huaian propped himself up lazily, his thin lips pressed against the cool and tender skin, and he took a light bite on the faint red mark on his shoulder.
"Hiss—" The slight tingling sensation brought Bai Yao back to his senses. He turned his head to look at the neat tooth marks on his shoulders, bared his small white teeth, and said fiercely, "Junzhu, why did you bite me again! How much did you say?" Do not bite this time!"
Xiao Huai'an was so cute by Bai Yao's ferocious expression, put his arms around Bai Yao's slender waist, put his chin on Bai Yao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, I took the initiative to admit my mistake. Yes, Master Yaoyao please deal with it lightly."
"Huh!" Bai Yao snorted, threw herself into Xiao Huaian's arms, and yawned, her soft voice was still sleepy, "Oh~ this is too noisy, don't let people sleep at all .”
"Baby doesn't like to set off firecrackers?" Xiao Huaian asked, leaning against the big soft pillow and hugging Bai Yao. It was rare for him to be too lazy to remember, but he couldn't sleep. The firecrackers outside were loud, so he had to sleep hard to fall asleep.
Bai Yao found a comfortable position and nestled in Xiao Huai'an's arms. Hearing Xiao Huai'an's strong and powerful heartbeat, the unabated sleepiness came back again, and her eyelids slowly closed.
"I don't like it, it's too noisy." Bai Yao muttered, remembering that their family didn't know how to set off firecrackers during the New Year. Grandpa has a bad throat and couldn't smell the smell of burning firecrackers.
Both father and mother like to be quiet, and he himself is not like other boys who like to run around the street with firecrackers as soon as the New Year comes.
"Crackling!"
Bai Yao was startled, and the eyelids that were stuck together opened suddenly, he sighed, and said: "No, I can't stay on the bed anymore, the more I stay, the sleepier I get."
As he said that, he was about to climb up, and halfway through the climb, when he turned around and saw Xiao Huaian was still lazily leaning on the pillow, Bai Yao quit, and pulled Xiao Huaian's arm up, "Get up, Jun Zhu, hurry up!" Get up, don't be lazy on the bed."
Xiao Huaian teased Bai Yao, and quietly pushed back, "Why, just let Yaoyao be lazy on the bed, and don't allow the master to be lazy on the bed, which family's law is this?"
"This is my family's law, get up quickly." Bai Yao wanted to exert all her strength, but still did not move Xiao Huai'an, her eyes suspiciously sized up Xiao Huai'an's slender body.
It's not fat, why can't it be pulled?
"Bang bang bang!"
"Brother! Are you awake? Am I coming in?"
First there was a knock on the door, followed by Xiao Huaiyu's loud voice. Before Xiao Huaian could speak, he heard footsteps approaching.
Xiao Huai'an only had time to pull Bai Yao into his arms, pulled the quilt over Bai Yao's body, and saw Xiao Huaiyu's head sticking out his teeth.
"Hey~ bro, you guys haven't gotten up yet? This is too slow, get up, get up~ breakfast is ready, and we can't eat together at night, why do we have to eat with the whole family in the morning and at noon?"
Xiao Huaiyu turned around Xiao Huaian and Bai Yao with a smirk on his face, left such a long sentence, and quickly slipped away.
Xiao Huai'an's face turned dark, which means that Xiao Huaiyu ran fast, otherwise this stupid brother would not be able to see the New Year's sun.
This time, she really couldn't be lazy on the bed, and Bai Yao was too embarrassed to pester Xiao Huai'an any more, so she went to take a shower with a red face and disheveled hair.
Xiao Huaian also followed. A good morning starts with a mandarin duck bath. Although there is nothing real to do, some intimate things are also comforting.
From Xiao Huaian's point of view, Bai Yao is still too young, and he is always afraid of hurting him if he is going to do Dun Lun's gift now. Let's wait, wait until the next year, after he crowns Yaoyao, anyway, the future will be long.
It is a tradition in Dachu to wear new clothes on New Year's Eve, and the people of Dachu often choose red clothes for their new clothes to celebrate. Although there are not many restrictions on Dachu's clothing, people will still avoid the red color by coincidence.
It is believed that true red is only worn by queens, wives and brides who are married by Ming media.
Clothes are all prepared by Eight Treasures, and this time is no exception, Xiao Huaian's is the prince's dress with crimson four-clawed coiled dragon, and Bai Yao's is the brocade dress with crimson embroidered bat Ruyi.
After Bai Yao changed her clothes, she saw Xiao Huaian wearing a purple gold black jade crown, half black hair, a red dress, a moon white sachet and a white dragon jade pendant, standing in front of a full-length crystal mirror.
Xiao Huaian seldom wears such bright colors, most of them are plain or dark colors. The scarlet red makes him have more bright colors than usual, which makes him feel astonishing.
Bai Yao swallowed her saliva, stared straight at her eyes, and suddenly remembered a sentence, he is the third beauty in the world besides moonlight and snow.
Yes, Xiao Huai'an is stunning, even more beautiful than moonlight and snow.
Seeing that Bai Yao was dumbfounded, Xiao Huaian waved his big hand in front of Bai Yao's eyes, and said, "What are you looking at? You're all dumbfounded."
"Look at you." Bai Yao blurted out, and only knew what she said when she saw the smile on Xiao Huai'an's face, her little paws were all on her mouth, she didn't have the face to stay any longer, she didn't care about Xiao Huai'an, and trotted out.
When Bai Yao went to the small dining room, she realized that everyone was there except him and Xiao Huai'an. And everyone is also wearing red, Xiao Huaiyu and Huo Ran are clad red and dark red, the effect is no different from normal.
Xiao Huaiyu was able to wear brocade clothes to look like long robes, so he probably didn't have any temperament except for armor or light armor.
Danyang usually likes red, and now he is wearing a red that is comparable to flames, which makes Danyang even brighter and dazzling.
Yanhe was dressed in light red and white two-color brocade clothes, but her complexion improved a lot, and she also felt a little less sickly and beautiful.
Even the coal ball has a red bow around its neck, and the coal ball itself likes it very much, with its chest up and its head upright, a tiger sitting upright, and deliberately raised its head when it saw Bai Yao coming.
What could Bai Yao do, she hurriedly hugged the briquettes and praised them, the briquettes happily licked Bai Yao a few mouthfuls.
Xiao Huaian, who came in later, happened to see this scene, and his face turned cloudy in an instant. It seemed that he could add another dish to the New Year's Eve dinner—tiger bone soup.
Both Xiao Huai'an and Xiao Huaiyu were going to the palace to attend the dinner, but the two of them really didn't like the palace, so they dragged it off until it was dark and the house was full of dumplings, so they slowly prepared to leave.
"Daughter-in-law, are you really not planning to go to the family banquet with me?" Xiao Huaiyu sat on the ground pitifully, hugged Danyang's waist, and asked in a crying voice pretending to be.
"Don't go, don't go, it's your family's family banquet, not mine." Danyang was learning how to make dumplings with Daman and Xiaoman, and refused Xiao Huaiyu without raising his head.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about? My family belongs to yours! Huh, do you not love me anymore, daughter-in-law?"
Di Rong doesn't have dumplings, and now he is very interested, so he can't figure out what to think about. Xiao Huaiyu is not only lazy, but also thinks that such a pendant around his waist will delay his performance, so he said disgustedly: "Hurry up and let me go, slow down." I will kill you."
"Daughter-in-law has something to say, and if she has something to say, I'll let it go!"
Hearing this, Xiao Huaiyu obediently let go, fearing that if he was slower, Danyang really drew his sword. It wasn't a joke. He had been threatened like this when he was just chasing Danyang. At first, he thought it was Danyang's joke.
When Danyang chased him for five streets with a machete, he knew that Danyang never joked.
If they say they want to chop you, they will really chop you, not being honest.
The New Year's Eve dinner can't be eaten together, which makes Bai Yao feel somewhat regretful. Ever since she lost her home, there is no meaning of celebrating the New Year.
And now that Xiao Huai'an is here, he wants to celebrate the New Year again, wants to celebrate the New Year with Xiao Huai'an, but he also knows that Xiao Huai'an will definitely be blamed if he doesn't go to the palace banquet.
How could he be willing to let Xiao Huaian be punished and scolded because of his petty willfulness.
Xiao Huaian could see that Bai Yao was depressed, her brows raised slightly, she was already tired of waiting for the palace banquet, but now she was so bored to death.
He opened the black cloak, hugged Bai Yao into his arms, and rested his chin on the top of Bai Yao's head wearing a rabbit fur hood. In the dark night, his eyes were dark, but his voice was gentle and doting.
"Stay well at home with your uncles, and I promise you will come back soon." If you can't say it, this is the only thing Xiao Huai'an can guarantee.
Bai Yao leaned against Xiao Huai'an's arms, feeling that her whole body was surrounded by the tranquil fragrance of the sinking water, she was extremely at ease.
He looked up at Xiao Huai'an, "There's no need to hurry, don't be scolded by His Majesty for leaving early, I'll wait for you at home."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Bai Yao's concern calmed down Xiao Huaian's bored mood.
Fine snowflakes slowly drifted down from the air, and landed on Xiao Huai'an's black cloak. Gradually, the snowflakes became larger, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled down, making the monotonous night beautiful.
"It's snowing, baby, let's go back, you don't have to see him off." Xiao Huaian lowered his head to help Bai Yao tidy up the messed up cloak, and said in a warm voice, with gentle love in his eyes.
Bai Yao nodded, wondering if she was fascinated by the beauty for a moment, she stood on tiptoe without thinking, and kissed Xiao Huaian's thin lips.
"This is Junzhu's New Year's gift." After speaking, the white figure bounced like a bunny and disappeared.
The heat on his lips disappeared in a flash, Xiao Huaian raised his hand, and gently touched his upper lip with his fingers. The little guy's rare initiative made him a little bit unresponsive, what a big surprise.
Suddenly, the corners of his lips slowly curled up into a pleasant arc, with a smile on his brows and eyes.
so cute! He sighed secretly.
Bai Yao ran to the corridor and looked again, and saw Xiao Huaian was still standing there, his handsome features blurred in the moonlight and snow.
It's really black fur and red clothes, Lang Yan is absolutely gorgeous, there is no other in the world.
