He wouldn't know that this was the happiest New Year's Eve in her past two lives. Everything was so beautiful, so beautiful that she was afraid that this was just a dream. When you wake up from the dream, nothing can be left behind. "Captain Xue, when you are in the army, how do you spend the New Year?" Mingyi lowered her eyes and asked softly. "Are you curious about this?" Xue Lin seemed a little strange. "I just want to know how you spent the holidays in the past." Mingyi replied with a smile. Xue Lin lowered his eyes and responded calmly, "It's okay. Most of the soldiers in the army have homes that they can't return to, so everyone gathers together to celebrate the New Year, talking around the fire at night, drinking and gambling, and those who are homesick, It’s possible for a few grown men to hug each other and cry bitterly.” "Is Governor Xue also with them? So, how can you be sure just now?" Mingyi smiled in her eyes. Xue Lin didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence, and the smile on Mingyi's face became even bigger. "What are you doing there? Come here quickly, let's set off a firecracker together." Fu Mingyan, who was still depressed because of losing money just now, has been resurrected with full health and ran over from nowhere, holding two firecrackers in his hand. After lighting up the incense candles, he pulled Mingyi and ran to the base of the wall. He put an incense candle into her hand and said, "Come! Sister, I'll put these for you." Mingyi looked at the firecrackers and firecrackers placed on the ground, but her face changed slightly with fear, "Me? I don't dare to set them off." "What are you afraid of? Just watch!" Fu Mingyan said, turning around and demonstrating in person, "Put this incense candle here and light the fuse." When he finished speaking, there was a crackle and the firecracker exploded. When they got up, sparks were flying and it was very lively. Mingyi was so frightened that her heart was pounding, she covered her ears and jumped back a few steps, but she couldn't help but squint and watch secretly.
"How's it going? Is it fun?" Fu Mingyan was caught peeking, and he said with a smile, "I tell you, this thing has to be put away by itself to be fun." "But I really don't dare." Mingyi also liked to watch fireworks in the past. These things were extremely gorgeous in the night. Unfortunately, they were too short-lived and couldn't be compared to the excitement of these firecrackers. "What are you afraid of? Find someone for help. Isn't he here?" Fu Mingyan smiled and put his chin behind her, then walked away with the incense candle in his eyes. Mingyi turned her head and saw Xue Lin striding towards her, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just the first time. I'm with you, don't be afraid." As he said this, he was already on his side He stretched out his hand and held the incense candle together with Mingyi. The back of her hand was covered with a temperature that did not belong to her. It was dry and warm, but it made Mingyi stiffen for a moment. The next moment, she suddenly pulled her hand back. "Be careful!" Xue Lin quickly held the incense candle that she had loosened to prevent sparks from flying to the ground and burning somewhere. "I'm sorry." Mingyi retracted her hand and hid it under her sleeve, lowered her eyes to avoid Xue Lin's gaze, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "You guys can play, I'll go back first." After finishing her words, she said He turned around and walked away, holding up his skirt. He walked faster and faster, and finally started to trot. "What's wrong with her? Is she really so timid?" Fu Mingyan walked over, looked at her back with Xue Lin, and frowned. "It's been a long time since she looked like this. I thought she had really changed. Now she is bolder than anyone else." The next few words were muttered in his throat, but Xue Lin heard them clearly. Looking in the direction where Mingyi's figure was no longer visible, he frowned for a moment. The two of them played off the firecrackers for a while and returned to Nuange. It was past midnight and Mingyi was not there. She said she had gone back to her room to rest. Xue Lin was about to leave home, but was stopped by Mrs. Gao, who had already ordered people to clean up the guest house and asked him to rest in the mansion for the time being. Xue Lin is not a person who pays attention to those rules, otherwise he would not stay in Jiyang Prince's Mansion to watch the New Year's Eve. He just took Gao's kindness and went to rest on his own, talking about everything all night long. The next day, when Mingyi woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, but she still felt that her eyes were numb and her head was swollen. I don’t know when I fell asleep last night, but I seemed to still be able to hear the deafening sound of firecrackers in the distance or near. "What time is it?" When Wei Yu came to help her wash up, she asked with sour eyes blinking. "Back to the princess, it's almost noon. The prince, the prince and Governor Xue have all entered the palace." "Oh." Mingyi responded, this is also an old practice every year. "Princess, what's wrong with your hand?" Wei Yu looked down and asked in shock. The back of Mingyi's hand turned shockingly red. Mingyi subconsciously pulled down her sleeves and slightly covered the back of her hands, but her face was calm, "I accidentally bumped into it last night. It's okay. Don't tell my parents and the others that it's unlucky on New Year's Day." .” Wei Yu Zi Lai obeyed, and when she heard Ming Yi's voice deepened, her expression became stern, and she knelt down and said "yes". After the New Year, each family holds a banquet. Today they visit relatives to pay New Year greetings, and tomorrow they go to a banquet there. The life is busy and fulfilling, although a little boring. On the way, Mingyi also asked Li Fengjiao to go to the temple to offer incense. This time, it was good that she didn't run into anyone she shouldn't have met. Mingyi naturally asked about it. During these days, Wei Xuanzhi was accompanying him in the palace, and Xue Lin was also with him.
Speaking of which, Mingyi and Xue Lin have not seen each other since that New Year's Eve. In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month. On this day, a plum blossom appreciation banquet was held in the palace. Mingyi was going to enter the palace, but she wrote to Li Fengjiao specifically to ask her to find an excuse to avoid it. Li Fengjiao listened to her words and agreed without saying a word. Just like last time, she didn't even ask why. This time she didn't even mention any conditions. After Mingyi dressed up, she followed Gao into the palace. She still looked solemn but not outstanding. The little girl had the charm and beauty, and she was much more generous and dignified than before. , received a lot of praise. Mingyi naturally knew that the compliments from these ladies or ladies were somewhat sincere. It's just that she is no longer what she used to be, and no one dares to offend her anymore. People's hearts have always been like this. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Mingyi stood there and said polite words for a while, and after listening to the basketful of complimentary words, she became a little impatient. When she heard that An Qian was still busy in the imperial kitchen, she wanted to go and look for her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned out of the Shuying Pavilion, a snow-white shadow flew towards her. She was startled and quickly stepped back. However, she got out of the way of the thing and was not hit. She held it in her hand. The hand stove made a "snap" sound, and fell to the ground together with the thing just now, and fell into the snow. It was not broken, but the snow-white thing was broken, and scattered with the snow, it turned out to be a Snowball. The noisy sound came from far away. The little girls and young men who were having a snowball fight at the other end looked like they were only seven or eight years old. They were at a naughty age, and the snowballs almost hit people, and everyone was frightened. Now, you pushed me and walked from the other side of Meilin. When I arrived in front of Mingyi, someone might have recognized her, and her expression became even worse. He hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, Princess Yun'an." , we didn’t mean it.” Naturally, Mingyi would not argue with a few children. She slightly hooked up her pink lips and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not hurt, but you should be careful when playing. If you really hit someone, it will be bad." The children didn't expect that she was so easy to talk to, so they all smiled brightly. After thanking her, they ran away laughing and huffing. Mingyi looked at it, and the smile on her face became even bigger. It's great to be at such a carefree age!
