Chapter 317: Celebration Banquet (Part 1)

There was a heavy snowfall at the end of December. A young man wearing a straw raincoat and a hat came hurriedly from outside. He stepped into the corridor and took off his clothes. The eunuch took them and put a cloak on him.

"His Majesty is waiting inside."

The eunuch was waiting on the side, holding a straw raincoat and a sword. Shen Sinian nodded and hurriedly pushed open the black and red door of the main hall. With a muffled "creak", the cold wind filled the hall. Shen Sinian quickly closed the door with his backhand and showed a very light smile on his face: "Sister."

Jun Lin put down the memorial and looked at him, his voice softening unconsciously: "There's a heating stove over there, go and warm yourself up."

The tip of the boy's nose was red from the cold, which was very noticeable on his porcelain-white skin. He walked over obediently and stretched out his hands to warm them. In fact, he was not that cold. His internal energy was circulating and his whole body was warm. He said, "I have brought Tuan Tuan back from the snowy area."

Jun Lin propped his chin with one hand and looked at him leisurely: "Is there any trouble?"

This young man must know that his father is dead.

Shen Sinian couldn't stop laughing while talking: "I shed a few tears, and then Qi Chi and the others took me out to play, and I forgot about Le Zhou."

Jun Lin suddenly found it funny: "Yes, this heartless little guy, otherwise I wouldn't have kidnapped him in the first place."

This was the great hero who brought her the orders for the Kingdom of Yue and Southern Xinjiang. Even his father was killed by her, so she had to bring Tuantuan back and take good care of him to compensate him.

"Oh, by the way, sister."

The boy's eyes suddenly sparkled: "Your birthday is in two days, how do you want to celebrate it?"

Jun Lin walked down from the main seat and came to Shen Sinian's side, sitting next to him by the stove: "Let's postpone it to the New Year's Day, and celebrate it together with the Unification Ceremony."

Emperor Jing's birthday, New Year celebrations, and the unification ceremony.

That day was a triple blessing.

An expected look appeared in Shen Sinian's eyes. He couldn't help but pursed his lips slightly and lowered his head in joy.

Emperor Jing's intimidation was very strong. Not to mention how troublesome her former Da Jing Tieqi and Manhuang were, now the Silver Wing Corps under the command of the ministers was officially under her command, and the group of grassland eagles from Ze State were also tamed by her. It was impossible for them to rebel against Emperor Jing.

Wanting to start a war and trying to take a piece of territory from Emperor Jing is just a fool's dream.

No one wanted to understand her iron-blooded tactics. All power was in her hands. She disciplined and governed the officials strictly. The royal family and powerful people did not dare to act rashly. As long as Emperor Jing did not allow rebellion, no one dared to rebel. Even a hundred years later, her intimidation continued even after Emperor Jing was gone.

In the afternoon, the snow outside stopped falling sporadically, and in the familiar courtyard, with the familiar crowd, a snowball fight was about to begin.

Tuan Tuan curled up into a ball and cried, "Tuan Tuan, stop playing snowballs. It's too cold outside. Tuan Tuan needs to go inside and get under the blanket!"

The young man was from southern Xinjiang and was used to a climate where it was spring all year round. He suffered a lot in a snowy area where it was cold all year round. Now that he had moved back to Jing Country and encountered deep winter, he was so cold that he cried.

Qi Chi threw a snowball at him with a "hey whoosh" sound, and Tuan Tuan was furious: "Brother Qi Chi is a bad guy!"

He ran after Qi Chi with his short legs.

Yi An was also dragged by Qi Chi to play snowballs. Jun Lin stood under the eaves and turned to Wen Sui Li and asked, "Have his eyes turned a little blue?"

Wen Suili's eyes were filled with the tranquility of the passing years: "Well, the divine punishment of the Snow Region has been withdrawn. Although we no longer have the power to occupy the land, the lives we lost will be returned, and the suffering we suffered in the past will be eliminated."

Thinking of this, he put his index finger to his lips and smiled slyly.

But no one told Jun Lin that Yian was Wen Suili's brother. But soon, Yian's eyes would return to their deep blue color, he would grow taller, and his facial features would fully develop. At that time, he would look more and more like Wen Suili. How could Jun Lin not notice it?

Then you will have good fruits to eat.

The two tea friends Song Simiao and Minghe beside him were still drinking tea. Jin Ge returned to the old days and took pleasure in cheating the honest man Ye Du. He also secretly instigated Jun Lin to banish Ye Du to the cold palace.

Manhuang and Shen Sinian guarded Jun Lin on both sides like door gods. They did not hold official positions in the court, unlike Yanyu who was a general and was busy all day long.

At this moment, Yushanshan arrived late, with a red scarf tied around her forehead and her black hair tied high. Her pitch-black armor rustled as she walked. The young man stopped in front of Junlin and sighed with a bit of grievance: "I have less and less time to accompany my master."

Jun Lin smiled and said, "There are many things to do now that the world has just been unified. It will be fine after this period of time. Come back and spend more time with me."

Yanyu lowered her eyelashes and nodded shyly.

Gong Qing rushed over here as soon as he came out of the kitchen. He cooked black rice, osmanthus and sugared lotus root porridge for Jun Lin. The sweet aroma spread all over the place, making Lin Junhuai and the others drool.

Who is Emperor Jing?

She is the only woman among this group of rough men. Now that the world is peaceful and there is no need for them to engage in intrigues or fight offensive and defensive battles, what else can they do?

Of course I will pamper her to death!

After drinking a bowl of tea, she broke out in a slight sweat. As soon as she said "It's still quite hot", Xingzhi ran over to fan her.

Jun Lin: “…”

“It’s open.”

At the other end of the corridor, someone walked calmly over with a flowerpot in his hand. Wu Shi smiled and handed Jun Lin the multi-petaled flower that looked like a yin-yang fish and blended black and white.

Jun Lin's eyes widened in surprise: "That square piece of flower seeds?"

Wu Shi nodded with a smile.

blooming.

On this winter day, after this heavy snow, flowers bloomed on the windowsill of her bedroom.

There were crisp laughter in the courtyard, the number of people playing snowball fights gradually increased, the soft white clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and December came to an end.

In the first month of the New Year, the whole city comes alive at daybreak. It would be more accurate to say that the whole country is immersed in great joy.

New Spring Festival couplets, new firecrackers, everyone who should be busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner is obviously absent-minded, especially the people under the feet of the emperor in the capital of Jing State. Tonight, His Majesty will appear in the largest square here and accompany them to spend the first New Year of the unified country.

Early in the morning, many people came with small stools to grab a seat.

"Hey, the cock just crowed, how come the seats are already full?"

"Hey, brother in the front row, yes, yes, it's you. I'll pay 10 taels of gold to buy your seat."

"No, no, no, go away. This is the front row seat I worked so hard to get."

I want to admire your majesty's beauty up close!

There were also many people fighting over positions, and Lin Xi and Zou Tao were exhausted in leading the troops to maintain order.

Aren't you tired so early in the morning?

What are you fighting for?

But then they thought of their own Majesty's face, and the entire army that was maintaining order wanted to put their hands on their hips and be proud for a while.

That's Emperor Jing! It's only natural for you to fight!

"Oh, yes, His Majesty's birthday has been postponed to today. What gift have you prepared for His Majesty? Tell me about it."

"Want to know? If you want to know, trade your place!"

"Pah, pah, pah, if you give me the honor, I will personally present the gift to His Majesty in the front row!"

Rather than using the word "hot", it would be more appropriate to say "popular".

The streets were so crowded that people were almost unable to stop, but a parade of stilt-walking lion dancers passed happily through the center.

Singing and dancing, everyone is in high spirits, today is also a sunny day.
