Chapter 143 (4,000 words) New Year's Gift...
In the winter, the snow is white and the cold wind blows past, picking up the light snowflakes, which fall on the jade-white steps of the towering palace, coating them with a pure white glow.
In the morning, when the female official Chunli entered the palace carrying documents, she could feel the warmth coming towards her. She could faintly hear the Queen Yin and the Lord talking and laughing softly inside, and she couldn't help but sigh.
That day, the meteorite was brought into the palace for viewing. For some reason, the Lord and Queen Yin fell into a coma, and the female officials felt terrified at the thought.
If something happened to the Lord at that time, the entire dynasty, which had finally found stability, would probably fall into turmoil again.
Now that the royal Xuan family's bloodline is extinct, there are still ambitious people among the noble families who are eyeing the overly dazzling throne.
The Wanqi family relied on their master to securely control the power in the court, otherwise they would be charged with treason and attacked by the crowd.
"Lady Chun, please judge the situation."
"What?"
Hearing the voice, the female official Chunli collected her thoughts and her gaze fell on Queen Yin who was leaning against her master. She was beautiful, with bright eyes and a charming look, like the surging light of water, full of life and vigor, and she had not changed at all over the years.
Seeing Xuan Yizhen's refusal to let the little girl out of the confinement room for New Year's Eve dinner, Yin Xing felt helpless and had to ask the female official for help. "It's New Year's Day and all the court officials are on holiday. It's too pitiful for the little girl to be locked up. Why not have one more person to liven things up a bit, right?"
The female official understood, but didn't dare to respond rashly. She looked at her master, who was hugging Empress Yin intimately, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty's order cannot be easily annulled. This matter is difficult to complete."
Admittedly, the female official also felt that the master was somewhat indifferent towards the little girl, but only Queen Yin could say this directly. If it were someone else, they would probably be severely punished.
Therefore, the female official could not agree with Queen Yin's statement, but could only advise her. Otherwise, if she continued to disagree and quarrel with her master, it would not be easy for her.
Queen Yin will not vent her anger on others, but the Lord will definitely divert his anger, making people tremble with fear and walk on thin ice.
Hearing this, Yin Xing understood that the female official was trying to be tactful, so she didn't want to make things difficult for her. She could only turn her head to look at the beautiful Xuan Yizhen, trying to silently soften her heart.
Xuan Yizhen remained unmoved, allowing Yin Xing to gaze intently at him. He leisurely flipped through the documents handed to him by the female official, and said cheerfully, "Don't you feel tired looking at this?"
"A little bit." Yin Xing snuggled up to Xuan Yizheng softly and responded pitifully.
"Then why do you have to look at me like that?" Xuan Yizheng pretended to be ignorant and asked with a concerned look.
This reaction made Yin Xing feel helpless. He felt that Xuan Yizheng was deliberately bullying him and was very mean.
But if you say she is indifferent, she also knows to care whether her eyes are tired.
When it comes to being enthusiastic, she refuses to change her tune at all, which is really infuriating.
In the silence, Xuan Yizheng still couldn't ignore Yin Xing's eager gaze. He casually closed the document, raised his hand to cover her beautiful eyes, and subtly felt the thick eyelashes brushing across his palm, which made him feel a little itchy.
The itchiness seeped from the skin of the palm of the hand into the flesh, blood and bones. Even the heart was filled with unbearable feeling along with the trembling of the eyelashes, completely out of control.
Suddenly, Yin Xing lost his vision and was stunned. Then he was embraced by Xuan Yizheng in his arms. He smelled the familiar cool fragrance and his face felt slightly hot.
I have to say, the cold fragrance on Xuan Yizheng's body can easily make people have wild thoughts.
Fortunately, Yin Xing didn't lose his fighting spirit in the gentle embrace. He quickly regained some clarity and said, "Yizhen, I just want the little girl to have a New Year's Eve dinner with us. If it's inconvenient to take back the imperial decree, can't we just let her out secretly?"
After all, if this goes on, how can Xuan Yizheng get along well with the little girl? Yin Xing felt a little worried.
Xuan Yizhen pursed his lips, slowly removed his hand, and met Yin Xing's clear, round eyes directly. Like sparkling gems, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and sighed, "Your words are not joking. How are you going to repay me for this?"
If someone else tried to disobey the Holy Order again and again, they would have been severely punished as a warning to others.
The emperor's majesty cannot be easily challenged. It is the supreme power. Those who obey will survive and those who disobey will die. This is never just talk.
However, after these words were spoken, Yin Xing did not understand Xuan Yizheng's thoughts at all. Instead, some mosaic images came to her mind, and her cheeks turned red and a little hot.
To repay someone, you usually have to be willing to give it your all.
"How about this, then I'll give it to you..." Yin Xing leaned closer to Xuan Yizhen, whispered in her ear.
The voice was as soft as the buzz of a mosquito, as if it would be blown away by the cold wind and was almost inaudible.
Xuan Yizhen felt Yin Xing's hot breath, and her ears tingled. She blinked her beautiful eyes with a hint of tenderness. Her white fingertips hooked her little finger, and a light smile flashed in her eyes as she said, "You said it, you are not allowed to beg for mercy."
Yin Xing blushed and buried her head in Xuan Yizhen's neck. She was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to look at her. She replied in a muffled voice, "Yeah."
When it comes to that kind of intimate things, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. After spending all these years together day and night, Yin Xing naturally knows Xuan Yizheng's preferences.
The falling snow outside the window gradually subsided, and the red lanterns hanging high in the palace corridors brought a bit of the bright and festive atmosphere of the approaching New Year.
In the morning, when the little girl was taken out of the confinement room, she was still a little dazed. She even felt that she was going to be kicked out of the palace by the empress. Her little face was full of solemnity and anxiety.
If I leave the capital, I will never have the chance to see Queen Yin again.
Unexpectedly, Queen Yin's brilliant smile suddenly caught my eyes, and then her whole little face was held in her hands, which was particularly warm.
"Your face looks much thinner. It must have been very hard for you." Yin Xing held the little girl's face and looked at it, muttering with guilt.
After all, the little girl is an orphan and has no blood relatives in the world. We really can't bear to let her be confined for the New Year.
"No, it's not hard." The little girl responded with some discomfort.
It seemed that the empress did not want to drive her out of the palace. The little girl looked around Queen Yin and saw that there were no female officials of the empress, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing how well-behaved and sensible the little girl was, Yin Xing's heart almost melted.
After all, Xuan Yizheng was not so obedient when she was a child. She was usually a cold and indifferent child.
"How about we stay up together for the New Year this year?"
"good."
The little girl was holding Queen Yin's hand and walking step by step into the palace. The snow was under her feet. For the first time, she felt that the winter snow was not cold, because her cheeks felt a little hot.
In the little girl's impression, the Chinese New Year was a very difficult time. It was cold, hungry, and even easy to get sick. It was a very dangerous time.
The coldness of the confinement room is actually nothing.
However, Queen Yin's hands were very warm. The little girl felt her palms were a little sweaty, but she was reluctant to let go and felt very relieved.
But when the little girl discovered the empress's awe-inspiring presence, she suddenly felt that the New Year was still quite dangerous.
There were bright red paper-cuts placed on the table. The little girl was learning to cut them and didn't dare to look at the empress for too long.
However, the little girl noticed Queen Yin's paper-cut. What she held in her hand was not the common symbol of joy or blessing, but a symbol that had never been seen before.
"This smiley face symbol looks very happy and festive, doesn't it?" Yin Xing originally wanted to follow the rules, but while cutting, he suddenly remembered that he was teaching Xiao Yizheng emoticons, so he changed his mind.
"Smiling face?" The little girl's usually calm and tender face rarely showed confusion.
This strange paper-cut symbol doesn't look normal.
Unexpectedly, the empress also revealed a piece of scattered paper cutting, among which was the same smiley face symbol.
Not only the little girl was surprised, Yin Xing was also a little surprised. His eyes fell on Xuan Yizhen's paper cutting, which was almost identical. He said, "How did you learn it so quickly?"
Even stealing someone's skills isn't so outrageous!
Xuan Yizhen blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled faintly, "Is this difficult?"
Paper-cuts are mostly in pairs, symbolizing joy and happiness.
What's more, Xuan Yizheng had noticed Yin Xing's paper-cutting before, so when he saw it, he suddenly understood for some reason.
Xuan Yizheng had never taken the initiative to celebrate festivals in the past, let alone make paper-cuts or window decorations.
But looking at Yin Xing's paper-cut patterns, Xuan Yizheng always felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them before.
Yin Xing looked at the dignified and elegant Xuan Yizhen, and inexplicably saw a hint of praise in her cold and elegant face. He smiled and said, "It's not difficult, but you are really amazing!"
Maybe Xuan Yi really wants to show off in front of the little girl, so of course I have to support him!
"You're so talkative. Then you should cut the word 'Fu' carefully, otherwise the children will be better than you." Xuan Yizheng came back to his senses and looked at Yin Xing and joked without thinking any more.
"That's true. The empress praised you for being so great!" Yin Xing took the opportunity to praise the patient and meticulous little girl, secretly thinking that it was not easy to keep both sides even.
The little girl looked at Queen Yin's smiling eyes and knew that the empress didn't care about her, but she couldn't help nodding with a blush on her face.
In fact, this is the first time the little girl is learning paper cutting.
Soon, several paper-cuts took shape. Yin Xing looked at the only successful "Fu" character on his palm, exhaled a long breath, and muttered, "This is really not easy. I have to make something delicious for the New Year's Eve dinner as a reward!"
After he finished speaking, the little girl and Xuan Yizheng paused holding the scissors, and their expressions changed slightly at the same time.
If Yin Xing were to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, Xuan Yizhen felt that something big would definitely happen.
"You have been staying in the Wanqi family's territory for many years, so I'm afraid you are not used to the taste of the capital." Xuan Yizheng looked at the little girl and asked the first question he took the initiative to ask after a long time.
"Yeah." The little girl nodded and quickly understood the empress's thoughts.
Then the empress said to Empress Yin patiently, "The Wanqi family's dishes are prepared differently. Since she wants to eat her hometown food, you should wait until next year to learn how to cook."
Hearing this, Queen Yin sighed and replied, "Well, there really isn't much time to prepare this year."
After she finished speaking, the little girl felt that the empress was really smart!
The last fire is still fresh in my mind, and I am still scared.
However, it turned out that the empress also knew that Queen Yin’s cooking was bad, and the little girl always thought that the empress liked the food cooked by Queen Yin.
It’s very strange why the empress never told Queen Yin.
It gradually grew darker outside the window, the time passed, the palace lanterns swayed, and the bustle of the capital's New Year's Eve was beyond the little girl's understanding.
The fireworks were brilliant and the sound of firecrackers almost never stopped, but what impressed the little girl most was the lucky bag she received from Queen Yin.
Although the lucky bag did not look exquisite and was obviously made by Queen Yin, it was the first New Year gift the little girl received.
Many years later, the little girl still clearly remembers this snowy New Year's Eve because she now has a home.
As night fell, the little girl left the palace to rest. Yin Xing and Xuan Yizhen cuddled together, smiling with curved eyebrows, "Yizhen, I'm very happy today."
Xuan Yizhen stretched out his arms and hugged Yin Xing, whose face was red from drinking some Tusu wine, and said in a sad voice: "You only gave that lucky bag to her alone. Aren't you afraid that I will be angry?"
"Don't be angry, I also prepared a New Year's gift for Yizhen." As he spoke, Yin Xing took Xuan Yizhen into the inner hall. His ears were red and he was embarrassed to look at her.
"You stay by my side every day, so how come I didn't notice the New Year's gift?" Xuan Yizheng let Yin Xing lead him forward, and he didn't really care about the lucky bag.
Because Xuan Yizheng knew that Yin Xing would not be so biased as to ignore him, he just couldn't help but ask her.
Yin Xing did not respond, but took Xuan Yizhen into the inner hall, asked her to sit beside the couch, and went behind the screen to busy himself.
In the quiet place, the candlelight danced and changed. Xuan Yizheng didn't quite understand Yin Xing's gift, but he had some vague guesses.
Outside the window, you can faintly hear the sound of firecrackers in the capital city, thump thump, like a heartbeat, beating in waves.
Xuan Yizheng looked quietly at the beautiful figure coming out from behind the screen, his expression gentle, but his eyes grew darker.
Once when Xuan Yizheng was choosing some fancy things, he picked out an extremely light, thin and transparent dress. It was like clouds and mist covering his exquisite figure, but the ups and downs were looming, making it difficult to look away.
"Will you like this?" Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizheng's cold and ascetic face and felt a little nervous.
I have to say that Xuan Yizheng is becoming more and more like an emperor. Her expression is even harder to guess her thoughts, and she has a strong aura.
"Come here." Xuan Yizheng raised his arm and called softly, like an indifferent immortal, his beautiful eyes clear and bright, like the surface of a vast lake.
Yin Xing nervously approached Xuan Yizhen, but before he sat down, he was pulled by her, which surprised him a little.
Xuan Yizhen let Yin Xing sit on his lap and looked closely at the New Year's gift she had prepared. His white fingertips touched the collar of her clothes, feeling the delicate feeling, and he said, "Don't you feel ashamed of this dress?"
Yin Xing blushed as she looked at Xuan Yizhen, who was asking the question knowingly, and replied with an unsteady breath, "I just thought you would like it."
"So you don't like it?" Xuan Yizheng responded slowly, his palms as gentle as stroking the water, changing invisibly.
“…” Yin Xing’s cheeks were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out. She could clearly sense Xuan Yizheng’s bad taste.
Xuan Yizheng chuckled and played with her patiently, putting his thin lips close to Yin Xing's lips, touching her lightly and teasing her, as if he was afraid of hurting her, being extremely gentle.
But in fact, Xuan Yizheng was suppressing his desire to destroy and wanted to crush Yin Xing and swallow him into his stomach.
Yin Xing tasted the cool and soft kiss, which slightly dissipated the heat. Just as he was drifting off to sleep, he heard Xuan Yizhen's calm voice say, "But you seem to be enjoying it too."
The words were soft, but the kiss on the earlobe was biting and caused a slight pain.
"Well, don't bite." Yin Xing blushed and had no intention of refutating Xuan Yizheng's teasing words.
"Okay, then you move yourself." Xuan Yizheng slowed down the kiss and suppressed his fanatical thoughts.
Yin Xing doesn't like things that are too exciting, she is a bit spoiled.
If it was Xuan Yizheng, he would be more direct, and pain would also be a kind of fun.
Yin Xing was stunned and almost thought he had misheard the voice. He blinked and looked at Xuan Yizhen, who was dressed neatly, before confirming that he was not hallucinating.
Xuan Yizhen leisurely looked at Yin Xing, his gaze sliding over her lips, which were as red as sweet fruit pulp. His throat moved unconsciously, and he said in a low voice, "This is your New Year's gift to me. Logically, I can't accept a gift in vain."
Hearing this, Yin Xing was filled with shame, thinking to himself that Xuan Yizheng knew how to embarrass him.
However, thinking that Xuan Yizhen had agreed to let the little girl out of the confinement room for the New Year, Yin Xing felt that he really had to reward her.
So Yin Xing had no choice but to put his hand on Xuan Yizheng's shoulder, raised his body slightly, and avoided her eyes, not daring to look at her. He always felt that her gaze was like a raging fire that could burn his flesh and blood.
The night wind was cold, but Yin Xing was like a ball of magma, with nowhere to vent. He could only snuggle up to Xuan Yizhen, kiss her thin lips closely, and grind them gently to relieve his unbearable feeling.
Finally, Xuan Yizheng stopped watching coldly and kissed Yin Xing back continuously, gradually taking action.
Yin Xing breathed a sigh of relief and put his arm around Xuan Yizheng's neck to withstand her strength and prevent him from falling.
After a long time, Yin Xing's consciousness gradually lost control, and he felt that he had turned into a ball of fireworks, exploding with a bang, brilliant and dazzling.
This New Year's gift is really killing me!
