Chapter 227 Hug Me Then
The carriage started moving quickly. Amidst the bumps, Yun Qingshi nodded obediently and whispered into Xiao Jiwu's ear, "Well, now that this matter is resolved, even if the subsequent plot happens, Xie Fenchuan will not be your enemy."
"I also know that even if I told you the rest of the story, you would never be afraid of him. You helped him for me. You knew that Zishu Heming and I were friends, and you wanted to make me happy."
"So, thank you, Awu."
It was still unsafe to talk outside, so Yun Qingshi whispered to Prince Xiao the whole time.
As for Xiao Jiwu, his eyes were filled with endless tenderness and doting. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips when he heard that. He turned around and kissed the boy lightly on the cheek: "You..."
He didn't know why, even though such intimate actions happened every day, he still felt like it wasn't intimate enough and just wanted to be with the boy all the time.
Yun Qingshi responded by kissing Xiao Jiwu on the neck, then yawned and said, "I'm sleepy~"
Xiao Jiwu found it amusing and gently stroked Yun Qingshi's cheek with his fingertips. He then let the boy lean on his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Are you cold?"
Yun Qingshi nodded decisively: "Leng, then hug me quickly~"
But it was only a little bit cold.
"Okay." Prince Xiao curled his lips again and took the young man into his arms as he wished...
————
Everything that needed to be done had been done, and now all we had to do was wait for the New Year.
The next day, New Year's Eve, Yun Qingshi got up early.
Although he stayed up quite late last night, there were still a lot of things to do on New Year's Eve, so Yun Qingshi didn't stay in bed.
Xiao Jiwu is still here today because he has three days off for the New Year and doesn't have to go to court.
After the two of them got up, Bitao and Birui went into the hall to help them wash and dress.
After washing up, Bitao brought in the clothes they would wear today. Yun Qingshi realized that what Bitao had prepared for him was actually a crimson robe.
As for Xiao Jiwu, he was wearing a blue brocade robe with wide sleeves.
The red dress was still too bright. Yun Qingshi subconsciously asked after seeing it, "Why is it red?"
Bitao didn't say anything, but just smiled and glanced at Prince Xiao beside her.
Seeing this, Yun Qingshi understood that this was what Xiao Jiwu meant.
Realizing this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Jiwu and asked silently.
Meeting Yun Qingshi's gaze, Xiao Jiwu rubbed the boy's head and explained with a smile, "You are young, so it's better for you to wear something bright during the New Year. Red wards off evil and calamity. I just hope that you can be safe and sound."
Of course, it is not ruled out that he wanted to see the boy wearing red.
So that's how it is. Then he can wear it. Yun Qingshi nodded in agreement and quickly changed into the new brocade robe with the help of Bitao.
At this moment, he was staring at the embroidery pattern on his chest and examining it carefully.
It is a pattern of Qilin gazing at the sun. It is embroidered with colorful threads, and the Qilin looks lifelike. There is also a circle of gold thread sewn on the outside, which looks beautiful and tight.
It is obvious at first glance that the embroidery is very complicated. Both cuffs are rolled with a circle of white rabbit hair, and the material also has dark patterns. It is so exquisite that it must not have been made in a hurry, so this must have been ordered by Xiao Jiwu a long time ago.
After looking at his own clothes, Yun Qingshi turned his head and took a look at Xiao Jiwu's clothes.
Then he found that although the colors and styles of his clothes and Xiao Jiwu's clothes were different, the patterns embroidered on the chest were actually the same!
They are both Qilin looking at the sun, but the Qilin’s postures and movements are slightly different.
He immediately asked Xiao Jiwu in surprise: "The same Qilin?"
Prince Xiao smiled and nodded: "Yes."
The embroiderer he specially ordered did a good job and was rewarded.
Yun Qingshi was stunned when he heard this.
He couldn't help but look down at his own clothes, and then looked at Xiao Jiwu's clothes.
So, they were also wearing matching outfits?
Well, it's pretty good.
Yun Qingshi nodded in satisfaction, then sat down again and asked Bitao to help her tie her hair.
The hair crown is also a golden crown prepared in advance.
Unfortunately, he is still not very good at tying his hair to this day. At most, he can just tie it into a bun, which is not very round.
While the two were getting dressed, Changshun and a few other servants prepared breakfast, and the two of them went to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Yun Qingshi washed his hands and began to write couplets in full swing.
That's right, he took the job of writing couplets.
No one asked him to write it, but he took it on his own initiative.
Originally, the palace had asked a famous calligrapher in Beijing to write the couplets in previous years, but after he learned about it, he offered to write it himself.
Before he traveled through time and space in the book, he was the one who wrote the couplets for their family every New Year.
Now is the first year he has spent with Xiao Jiwu since he entered the book. It is very memorable, so he also wants to do something.
Xiao Jiwu stood by and helped grind the ink.
This scene also reminded Yun Qingshi of the time when Xiao Jiwu asked him to serve Mo when he first entered the book. Time has passed, and now he is the one in charge.
This is very good. Yun Qingshi expressed his satisfaction, and the words he wrote became more free and handsome.
"As time goes by, people live longer, spring fills the world and blessings fill the house"
Horizontal banner: Peaceful all seasons
The palace is very big and there are many places to post things, so he has to write a lot.
After the last word was written, Yun Qingshi blew away the ink and put the written horizontal scroll aside to dry.
Changshun was very considerate and laid out new red paper.
Yun Qingshi raised his eyes and asked Xiao Jiwu with a smile: "Awu, what are you going to write next?"
Prince Xiao paused for a moment before opening his mouth, "I will ascend the ninth floor of Langyuan and seize the first branch of spring breeze. Horizontal inscription: May all your wishes come true."
It would be good if your wishes come true. Yun Qingshi nodded in agreement and continued writing.
Because there were many doors and windows in the palace, Yun Qingshi spent three hours just writing the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu".
He wrote from the morning till the middle of the afternoon, and his wrists were sore from writing.
But looking at the written couplets gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Fortunately, he didn't have to do the job of pasting the couplets. He just needed to stand in the distance with Xiao Jiwu to see whether they were pasted correctly.
Changshun was moving a ladder and working with a few servants to post the posters one by one, and also hanging up the lanterns.
Once the lanterns are hung, the New Year atmosphere is all there.
Yun Qingshi was busy with these things the whole morning, and his lunch time was a little later than usual.
After lunch, Yun Qingshi and Xiao Jiwu took a short nap as usual.
There is still work to do in the afternoon, such as building a good fire and making dumplings.
But it was still early in the evening, so there was no need to rush.
Yun Qingshi had just woken up and was sitting at the table with Xiao Jiwu, drinking tea and eating cut fruits to refresh himself.
He also looked at it carefully, silently thinking about how many kinds of dumpling fillings he should ask the chef in the kitchen to prepare.
