Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 3 Little Time (3)

The next day, it was Xiao Shu and Xiao Yi's tenth birthday.

Although the child's birthday is not too long, it's a whole day, and it's approaching the end of the new year, so the Xiao family held a simple banquet, invited close friends and close friends in Beijing, and set up a few tables to celebrate.

Because of Xiao Yi's arrival, even if it was just a casual dress, but for the sake of Sheng Jia's safety, the main table was arranged in a booth with a distance from the guest tables on the grounds that there were too many children.

In the middle of the lively banquet, Xiao Yi suddenly winked quietly, and the valet who was serving next to him immediately took out a golden silk and unfolded it.

The table was full of people eating, drinking, chatting, and in a daze. Only Wei Liu, who was sitting directly opposite them, noticed this and raised his eyebrows slightly.

That was clearly an imperial decree, but as the person in charge of the government, he didn't know what decree he wanted to announce to the Xiao family today.

In addition, Xiao Yi's expression at this moment can be said to be "a little bit of anticipation in the apprehension, a little romance in the plain", there is a certain air, the air of a moth...

In order to be safe, Wei Liu kept calm and gathered energy on his fingertips. When the waiter opened his mouth, he secretly shot out a force, passed a glass lamp, and shot sparks at the things in the yard that he planned to disperse. Fireworks are lit for the children after the banquet.

In an instant, a crackle sounded, filling the sky with fireworks, and immediately attracted the full attention of everyone at the guest table.Naturally, no one knew that at the main table, an imperial decree had just been announced.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple, which can be summed up in one sentence: make Xiao Yi the empress.

Xiao Moyu was the first to react, with a calm expression and a gentle smile, but he crushed the wine glass held in his left hand and the chopsticks held in his right hand at the same time.

Followed by Hua Caiyou, seeing this, she quickly leaned on her husband's shoulder, leaned her face up to his ear, exhaled softly and said softly, "In front of so many guests, you are not allowed to Attack. Remember, if you don't calm down, you will hurt your ass!"

Xiao Moyu:
Next are two little birthday stars sitting side by side.

Xiao Yi: "Brother Yi, why did you make me a queen?"

Xiao Shu: "Let me be his wife!"

Xiao Yi: "What do you want to do as a wife?"

Xiao Shu: "Just eat and live together like parents!"

Xiao Yi: "Brother Yi and I are like this now!"

Xiao Shu: "Well...that's exactly what you said."

Xiao Yi: "Brother, I want to eat crabs."

Xiao Shu: "I'll peel it off for you."

……

……

In the end, Wei Liu asked Xiao Yi in a low voice with an attitude of 'Have you eaten today': "Your Majesty, do you dare to ask if there is a minister's seal on this edict?"

Xiao Yi timidly aimed at the 'corpse remains' in Xiao Moyu's hands, and retracted half of his 'compassionate' head into his collar: "No..."

"The emperor should know that all decrees issued before taking office must have both the emperor's golden seal and the minister's seal to be officially effective."

"Because it was a temporary decision and was too hasty, so I didn't have time to discuss it with Zhongfu. And I thought it was just my own family matter..."

"The royal family has no family affairs. Moreover, civil marriages still need three matchmakers and six engagements. After a country is established, how can the canonization be so hasty? Not to mention, it also involves the maintenance of the balance between the various factions in the court. Your Majesty Do you think this is inappropriate?"

Xiao Yi was dumbfounded, but still unwilling, and struggling to die: "But, Father Zhong is not teaching, you have no joke..."

Wei Liu looked at him sincerely, with a blank face: "Excuse me for being rude, what did the emperor say just now?"

Xiao Yi:

Looking around, I saw what everyone here should eat, drink, take a deep breath, and pretend to be stupid... So the "Floating Cloud Emperor" could only talk to that "Floating Cloud Edict" and was speechless. , two lines of tears...

When the last round, and also the longest and most splendid round of fireworks, lights up the night in the capital, the road that has lost the bustling day becomes more empty and colder in late autumn.

Standing here with his hands behind his back, the commoner man who looked up to enjoy the beautiful scenery suddenly felt something flickering in the corner of his eyes.Searching through the colorful brilliance, I finally saw a small piece of white exposed from the gap in the corner of the corner of the street next to it.

Curious, he leaned over and stretched out his arms to pull it out. It turned out to be a mask depicting the face of Monkey King.Wipe off the dust and dirt with the sleeve, and there are several scratches and depressions of different shades.Come to think of it, which family's child accidentally dropped it while playing nearby, and was kicked here by passers-by.

The man glanced at it, but it was useless anyway, and just about to throw it away, the fireworks in mid-air suddenly went silent, but his heart was inexplicably moved.

He must have thought of something, and pursed his pale lips.

After a little hesitation, he finally held it in his hand and walked away leisurely.
