It is not necessarily a bad thing to have connections with the harem and the court, but it is definitely not a good thing to have connections with the harem and the court too closely.
No one dared to tell him these words before, and they were related to his actions all the time. For example, letting me out of the cold palace to balance the struggle between Nangong Lizhu and Shen Rou, including between Nangong Jinhong and Fangyan Bai, he adopted a check and balance approach. Obviously, he himself thought it was correct.
However, indulging in internal friction, many things are actually impossible to do.
For an emperor who plays with power, he really can't say those words casually, and he may not be able to listen to them even if he says them. But now, many things are in front of him, and he has tasted the bitter fruit. Some words should be able to listen to them.
Pei Yuanhao was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Your words are reasonable."
Qinghan smiled.
Next, the three of them didn't say anything. After eating the things in the bowl, they stood up and walked forward for a while. Sure enough, they saw many people gathered in front of them to prepare New Year's goods. The things they bought were all kinds of, including spicy sausages, sweet candied fruits and pastries. There were even hunters on the mountain marinated the hunted venison and dried them for sale.
As soon as I saw the dazzling array of things, my eyes lit up and I said to Qinghan: "Do you want to buy some?"
He nodded and said, "You can buy it, but there are too many people."
He looked at the crowded crowd with a look of embarrassment on his face. Pei Yuanhao obviously didn't want to squeeze in and out in such a fun way. I said, "Where are there too many people?"
Both of them looked at the crowd in front of them with a little frightened expression. Qinghan said, "It's better to wait two days later, and come back when there are not so many people."
I said, "There are not many people, so it must be because of the price increase."
"ah?"
"You guys are so, forget it, wait here, I'll buy it."
After saying that, I squeezed into the crowd hard, squeezed to the front, and chose one by one. As soon as I looked up, I saw that there was still pickled fish hanging next to me, I turned around and said, "Do you want pickled fish?"
When I turned around, I saw two men standing far away with their hands behind their backs. When I heard me ask, Qinghan hurriedly said, "You want it."
"How many?"
"You can buy it."
I gave him a blank look, then turned around and asked for four pieces. The store gave me the lotus leaves one by one. I turned around and said, "I've bought it, come and pay the bill."
He sighed helplessly, and slowly walked in with a look of "doom" look on his face. Fortunately, some people around him seemed to recognize him, and they all retreated to both sides and gave him a way. He then walked to the front and took out a piece of silver from his purse and gave it to the store. He originally wanted to make change, so he waved his hand: "No need to look for it."
Then he carried a large bag and squeezed out from it with me.
Pei Yuanhao then came up, looked at the things, and smiled and said, "Can you finish eating so much?"
I looked at him and was really amused. As the saying goes, if you don’t have the power to be a family, you don’t know how expensive it is. He doesn’t even know this. I said, “It’s right to eat it.”
"What's the meaning?"
"It's surplus every year."
He suddenly realized it and said with a oh. He smiled and said, "But you have bought too much."
I said, "It doesn't matter if there is more, I plan to have some be sent to Chengdu."
He paused for a moment before he realized: "Oh."
Finally, one New Year was spent in Xichuan. Although I wanted to stay in Bishan for one New Year, I was still thinking about Qingchen's side in my heart. I said, "After the first day of the Chinese New Year, we will go to Chengdu to see if Qingchen is good?"
He smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Because I bought something, I was holding it in my hands and didn't plan to continue walking, so I was going back. Qinghan and I took a lot of it, but Pei Yuanhao still had two empty hands. He was used to it, but after walking for a while, he probably felt that it was inappropriate. He looked at us and said, "Or what if I can take it?"
Qinghan and I both looked at him.
He smiled and said, "I want to eat some of these things."
I didn't have much stuff in my hand, so I naturally didn't give it to him. He took two small bags from Qinghan's hand, but with a very fresh expression, the three of them returned to Yilan Villa all the way.
Since I bought New Year’s goods that night, the taste of New Year has gradually become stronger, and there is a happier atmosphere in the whole house. Especially after the elegiac couplets and white banners in the courtyard are removed, everyone’s expressions have obviously relaxed a lot.
After all, it's the New Year.
Even I was a little more happy when facing Pei Yuanhao. He would come to the inner courtyard every one or two days, and he would not enter our room. He just sat in the corridor to bask in the sun, or went to the backyard to see the beautiful scenery. Sometimes he would talk to me, but he didn't talk much.
In short, the atmosphere in Yilan Villa was very good, and even the deepest pain in my heart was slowly relieved in such a peaceful and peaceful time.
The only thing that makes me feel unhappy is probably the small building outside.
Chanjuan's figure would sway over it from time to time. Every time she appeared, her original good mood would become unhappy.
That evening, the servants in the other courtyard began to arrange our courtyard to prepare for tomorrow's family dinner, because tomorrow will be New Year's Eve.
Su Su and Caiwei were of course very happy. The two divided the work and cooperated. One man directed the servants to move all the tables and chairs to use, and the other commanded the man to set up the courtyard. After all, it was winter, and although there were some eternal green plants and trees here, they were still not prosperous enough, so they cut some red paper and pasted it on the dead branches. They also placed a few basins of daffodils in front of the window, and put paper rings made of red paper on it to add joy.
After some arrangements, the courtyard looked much more lively.
Qinghan and I stood in the corridor, holding our sleeves to look at the scene in front of us. Today, the wind was strong and we kept pouring into our collar. I shrank my neck and said softly: "I haven't lived like this for many years."
He looked down at me, smiled, and reached out to hold me.
He also helped me tighten my clothes.
"Have you not had a good year in these years?"
"No."
“Not once?”
“…”
Speaking of this, I hesitated for a moment.
Not completely none.
When I left Jinling with Miaoyan and lived in Jixiang Village, I actually had a very homely and lively New Year.
In short, half of my life has passed. It seems that after I grew up, there is only that year, which is complete for me.
But--
But it almost changed my life.
Feeling that I was in a daze, Qinghan looked down at me: "What's wrong? What's going on?"
I looked up at him, and was also a little dazed.
What's wrong?
Why do you think of that time at this time?
Chapter completed!
