Glory all the way

Chapter 361
On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, before dawn, it began to snow heavily outside.

Pushing open the window, a gust of fresh and bitter cold air came over the face, making Bai Yingluo shiver uncontrollably.

A surprise appeared on her face, Bai Yingluo turned her head to look at Du Xuan and said, "The wintersweet in the imperial garden is blooming..."

Du Xuan went to the window and took a deep breath. Sure enough, there was a faint fragrance mixed with the cold snow air, which was refreshing.

"Let's go, accompany mother to have breakfast, and then, let's go to admire the plum blossoms together."

After closing the window and warming his hands in front of the charcoal stove, Du Xuan went to the Nuan Pavilion to wake up Brother Yan.

After getting dressed, the two led Yan Geer to Yufu Hall, one on the left and the other on the right.

Talking and laughing after eating breakfast, Bi Dai talked back and said that the chariot was ready, Yue Ji turned around and picked up Brother Yan, the grandparents and grandchildren got into the car, and behind them, Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo put on thick clothes. The wooden clogs, and the coir raincoat, the two held hands and walked away slowly.

In the eyes, there is snow, and the green pines in the distance, but you can still see a little greenness on the top of the treetops. The sun rises from the east, and the whole world has a beautiful feeling of being covered in silver.

In the southeast corner of the imperial garden, there is a plum garden built, and near the courtyard wall, there is a gazebo that can accommodate a dozen people.

When a group of people arrived one after another, the gazebo was already surrounded by thick felt, and when the gap was opened to enter, the heat inside would blow in bursts, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.

The pavilion is as warm as spring.

On the stone table in the middle, there are melon and fruit snacks. Near the pillars, there is a small copper stove. There were wisps of heat.

"Luo Niang, Xuan'er said that you made good tea. Under the plum tree in front, and the snow water I picked and buried last year, would you like to make a pot of tea for us?"

Yue Ji looked at Bai Yingluo with a smile and asked.

"Honored."

Bai Yingluo responded gently.

Yue Ji looked back at Bi Dai, Bi Dai took out a flower hoe from nowhere, carried it out of the gazebo, and came in with a cup of tea in her hand.

Wash hands, change water, refill tea...

After a stick of incense, a fresh fragrance filled the gazebo, blending tacitly with the plum fragrance in the air, making people feel a little drunk before drinking it.

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time. It seems that I was in a hurry, and I came just in time..."

The curtain was lifted, revealing Du Yuan's smug smile.

Bai Yingluo handed over a bowl of hot tea, and asked with some surprise: "At this moment, shouldn't you be in Zhaohe Hall? Why, you don't have to go to court today?"

Taking a sip of tea, he closed his eyes and let the hot tea spread from his mouth to his chest and abdomen. Feeling the faint tea fragrance lingering in his mouth, Du Yuan let out a long sigh, opened his eyes and said with a smile: " It's 24 today, did my sister-in-law forget?"

The 24th of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the Lord of Loulan sealed the seal.

This point is the same as Da Song.

"Queen, I plan to go to Bieyuan tomorrow to pick up my eldest sister."

Taking another sip of tea, Du Yuan said to Yueji, before Yueji could answer, brother Yan beside him clapped his hands happily, "I'm going too, I'm going too..."

Yue Ji smiled and asked Brother Yan, "Do you know what uncle is going to do?"

"He slipped out of the palace to play."

Brother Yan glanced at Du Yuan with a smile and replied.

"Stinky boy..."

After getting up and scratching Brother Yan's nose, Du Yuan picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.

Because of Brother Yan's words, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

When it was almost lunch time, the crowd got up and left the Meiyuan. After walking a few steps towards the Jade Fu Hall, they saw Suerna and Nanny Yun approaching.

"NanNan..."

I haven't seen her for more than a month, Suyerna's complexion has become much ruddy, Gu Panjian's eyes are as bright as the stars in the night, it can be seen that he is well, Yue Ji called out, and tears fell from his eyes.

Stepping forward and holding Yue Ji's arm, Suyerna said softly, "Queen, am I well now? Why are you crying instead?"

"Happy, the queen mother is happy."

Pulling Suerna to look up, down, left, and right, Yueji was completely relieved, looked back at Bi Dai and repeatedly said: "Today's family banquet in Yufu Palace must be grand, you go to the imperial dining room and tell me If they are all the favorite dishes of Nannan and their brothers..."

Beside him, Brother Yan tugged Yueji's sleeve, "Grandma, and me, and me."

"Little greedy cat, I can't forget you. Aunt remembers that Mingyan loves braised lion's head the most, right?"

Hugging Brother Yan affectionately, Suyerna said jokingly, seeing Brother Yan nodded contentedly, the people around laughed more and more happily.

After lunch, Suerna talked with Yue Ji for a while, and only after she rested did she come to find Du Xuan and Du Yuan.

Seeing Du Yuan, she smiled softly and said, "I've worked hard for you these days. Sadoer told me that you are doing well. The queen mother and I are very pleased."

Scratching his head embarrassingly, Du Yuan looked at Suerna from a step away and said, "Eldest sister, are you really well? After the Chinese New Year, you won't go to another garden to recuperate, right?"

This is in a hurry to return all the affairs of the government to Suyrna.

Suerna was stunned for a moment, with a hint of sadness on her face. After a while, she said in a lonely voice: "Qingxin said, the poison in my body has been eliminated. However, the internal organs in my body , The wear and tear over the past year has been too great, so you have to take good care of it for a while, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be premature death."

As soon as the subject changed, Suerna pretended to smile reluctantly and patted Du Yuan's shoulder, "But don't worry, there is an imperial doctor in the palace, and I am familiar with all matters related to government and politics, so I won't delay my rest. After the New Year, you can go wherever you want to enjoy yourself, Loulan has many interesting places, you can go wherever you want, and have fun."

This kind of Suerna makes people feel even more distressed. Du Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said with a big grin: "Do you think I am such a fun-loving person? I used to be joking, but you really think I am Children? It’s rare that I’m here, so you can rest for a while and spend time with your mother, I can handle it, don’t worry.”

The authorities were confused by the onlookers, but Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo saw a sly sneer in Suerna's eyes.

However, the two looked at each other, not intending to expose it.

There is no need to go to court, and there is no torture of illness. The family is together, and life is indescribably happy.

It is troublesome to travel to Yufu Hall every day. After Suerna returned to the palace, Du Xuan and Du Yuan simply moved to Yufu Hall and lived in the East Side Hall and West Side Hall respectively. Now, Brother Yan is happy. For a while, I went to the main hall to find my grandmother, and for a while, I went to the Xibei hall to find my aunt and uncle. I was as happy as a little magpie on a branch.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

This day is not only the New Year's Eve for the family reunion, but also the birthday of the Suerna siblings.

As soon as it got dark, the Yufu Hall was brightly lit up.

In the main hall, the whole family sat around the mahogany round table, talking about the ups and downs of the year.

However, whether it is sour or bitter, everything is over now, and what awaits them must be a bright and bright future. Everyone's face is filled with warm smiles.

Halfway through the banquet, Yue Ji got up and went back to the inner hall, took out a few brocade bags from the dowry box and returned to the banquet room.

"Back then, the first emperor made a pair of Eryu Liuli, Xuan'er and Yuan'er each had one, as a thought for you. However, your eldest sister didn't have any, so I begged this from the Liuli King..."

When the brocade bag was opened, there were three identical jade pendants carved into pods. Inside the pods, there were three beans that were close together. The beans were plump, round, crystal clear.

"You were born on the same day. In the future, you will be the closest people in this world. There is still a long way to go. It is impossible for the queen mother to always watch over you. Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, you must love each other, you know?"

Said softly, Yue Ji handed the three jade pendants to Suerna, Du Xuan and Du Yuan.

I took another brocade bag and opened it. It was a pair of phoenix hairpins. The phoenix sculpture was so lifelike that it was about to fly. There was a colorful jade in the mouth of the phoenix. Against the backdrop of the lights, it shone with colorful light. It looks great.

Putting one of the hairpins on Bai Yingluo's head, Yue Ji said softly, "Mother Luo, the Queen Mother wishes you to grow old together. In this life, you will be together and be sweet forever."

"Thank you queen, we will."

Bai Yingluo nodded in agreement.

Putting the other phoenix hairpin back into the brocade bag, Yue Ji stretched out her hand and handed it to Du Yuan, "Your daughter-in-law, the queen mother doesn't know if she can see it, so keep it for yourself, and when you give it to her in the future, just say , is a meeting gift from the queen mother."

Yue Ji was so solemn, although Du Yuan felt ashamed, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he stretched out his hand to take it.

Opening the last brocade bag, it was a golden longevity lock. Yue Ji put it around Brother Yan's neck, touched his little face and said: "Grandmother hopes that Ming Yan will grow up safely, and in the future, he must be filial to Dad. Mom, do you remember?"

Nodding repeatedly, Brother Yan hugged Yue Ji's arm with a smile and said, "I still have to honor my grandmother..."

"What a good boy..."

Brother Yan's words caused a layer of crystal tears to float in Yue Ji's eyes.

Sniffing to hold back her tears, Yue Ji held up the wine glass in front of her, and said to the three of Suyerna, "Today is your birthday. The queen mother wishes you a happy birthday. Everything will go smoothly in the future, and all wishes will come true."

"I also wish the queen mother happy every day, good luck and good health."

Suerna, Du Xuan, and Du Yuan paid respects to Yue Ji and finished drinking the wine together with their heads up.

Talking and laughing, only heard a loud noise outside, in the sky, bright colorful lights bloomed, and it was the people in the city who set off fireworks.

A group of people surrounded Yue Ji and left the Jade Fu Hall, standing at the door and watching.

When the outside gradually quieted down, Du Xuan and Du Yuan took a few servants to the yard to light the fireworks that had been prepared.

Brother Yan insisted on following, Du Yuan simply picked him up and put him on his shoulders.

The soaring sound woke up the lone bird in the forest in the imperial garden in the distance. Immediately afterwards, all kinds of colorful fireworks exploded above the head and scattered down again.

Bai Yingluo clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and quietly made a wish, then opened her eyes, and saw Du Xuan standing beside her, who had just made her wish.

Looking at Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo, who were happy and happy beside them, Du Yuan and Suyerna who were smiling brightly on the other side, and brother Yan who was running around and playing with the maids in the yard.

At this moment, Yue Ji's heart was filled with unprecedented happiness and tranquility.
