His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's sixteenth birthday was celebrated with such a ceremony every year, and Shen Mingye was tired of it.
He could even predict when the fireworks would be set off behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then sneak out of the banquet quietly, taking Meng Yixuan out to watch the beautiful and gorgeous fireworks.
Jiang Xinyue looked at her son and future daughter-in-law, who were holding hands and running towards the door, with a kind smile on her face.
The emperor next to him was already several years old, but he had been cultivating his moral integrity in the past few years. He didn't even pay much attention to government affairs, and he even looked a little energetic.
Emperors who were always diligent and caring for their people did not live long because their bodies were crushed by long-term fatigue and worries.
So when he discovered that Jiang Xinyue's opinions and views on political affairs were no weaker than his own, and could even come up with some new ideas, he deliberately cultivated his body in the hope of living longer.
In this way, I can accompany the children and spend more time with Yue'er.
Jiang Xinyue looked at him now as if she were looking at a handsome uncle.
"Duanzi ran away again?"
The emperor looked around the Western Zhou Dynasty, but there was no sign of Shen Mingye. He bared his teeth and cursed: "Hey! This little bastard, we are all busy here for him. He has a wife and forgets his parents. Every year, the fireworks are brought before they are set off. Sister Zhuxuan ran away."
Jiang Xinyue covered her mouth and smiled: "Then, please guess, Your Majesty, why does he secretly take people away before the fireworks every year?"
Isn’t it just to find the best viewing angle before the fireworks are set off so that the two of you can enjoy the romantic time together?
"Bang!"
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky. The female relatives present all went to enjoy the fireworks. No one saw it. The emperor took Jiang Xinyue and ran away.
There were many koi carps raised in the artificial pond behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony. They were raised by the masters in the palace to become "big and round". When they sprinkled a handful of fish food, the fat-headed koi carps swam over one after another and started to "eat" in an orderly manner. .
Shen Mingye pulled Meng Yixuan and was about to go there, when he saw an additional person on the rockery: "Isn't that Qing Qing? What is she doing here alone?"
"light……"
Meng Yixuan raised her hand, but before she could cry out, Shen Mingye pulled her aside. There seemed to be a person lying on the flat top of the rockery.
I don't know what Yan Qing said. The man sat up. Fireworks exploded continuously in the sky. By the lakeside, which was as bright as day, the clear-cut face of the fifth prince appeared clearly in front of Shen Mingye and Meng Yixuan.
"Fifth brother?"
Meng Yixuan grew up with them, and followed Shen Mingye in calling his brothers brother.
Shen Mingye chuckled: "I said that during the day, the queen mother said that she would marry Qingqing to the third brother. His face was so stinky! It turns out that he likes Qingqing."
"Then why didn't he tell the Queen of Heaven first? If the Queen knew that they liked each other, she would definitely not embarrass them."
The Queen of Heaven is like a matchmaker among the people. She is so cute that she pierces the window paper for lovers.
She doesn't know how to beat a mandarin duck.
On the rockery——
Yan blushed slightly, but his expression was still timid: "You...why are you avoiding me?"
The fifth prince stood up from the fake stone with a casual expression. His usually cold eyes looked a little warm because of the colorful fireworks.
But what he said was still as cold as ice: "Who are you? Why am I hiding from you?"
One sentence made Yan Qingqing's face turn pale.
She bit her lip, and the courage she finally mustered up was blown away: "You... then you... I... you didn't hide from me, then why did you run away when I called you just now?"
She finally caught up with him. In order to catch up with him, she sprained her foot. It hurt so much...
It hurt so much that she almost burst into tears.
She looked like she was about to cry. The fifth prince saw this and felt distressed and irritated: "Can you..."
He wanted to say harsh words, but seeing the little girl's shaky appearance, he couldn't say "stay away from me".
The irritability in his heart became more and more fierce. He turned around and jumped off the rockery to leave. He couldn't afford to offend her, but he could afford to hide.
"Hello!"
Yan Qingqing suddenly came up with a plan, stepped on the painful foot and fell to the ground: "It hurts me to death."
The fifth prince who had landed just now appeared next to her with a "hoo", glanced at her hand covering her ankle, picked her up without saying a word, and sat aside.
"what you do?"
Seeing that the fifth prince was about to take off his shoes and socks, Yan Qingqing secretly looked at his expression and said to him in a trick: "My father said that men who have nothing to do with me can't let them touch me."
Therefore, if you want to touch me, you must have a relationship with me.
"Snapped!"
"Ouch!"
The fifth prince slapped her hand away: "I am your fifth brother."
"Brothers who are not related by blood can only be husbands. My mother often calls me father and third brother."
Yan Sanlang ranked third, so Jiang Xinyan often called him third brother.
Yan Qingqing can't do anything else, he still has his own set of fallacies.
I don’t know how the knowledgeable Jiang Xinyan and the resourceful Yan Sanlang gave birth to such an eccentric daughter.
The fifth prince took her feet and did not take off her shoes. He just rubbed her ankles through her shoes and socks: "Yan Qingqing, don't like me, I won't marry you."
"ah!"
"Take it easy!"
"It hurts..."
The sentence "It hurts" came with a heavy nasal voice, and I didn't know whether it meant my ankle hurt or my heart ached.
The fifth prince lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at her. He gently, carefully and gently rubbed her ankles throughout the process.
He couldn't... couldn't reveal his feelings.
The Zhu family is a big dyeing vat. The direct descendants of the uncle's faction are princelings, but the subordinate factions all want him to ascend to the position of crown prince.
If they knew that Yan Sanlang, the granddaughter of the world's most powerful military strategist and Yan Sanlang's most powerful military advisor, liked him and wanted to marry him, they would definitely use Yan Qingqing to force the Yan family to help them scheme against the prince.
Sometimes, many things happened out of his control, and he didn't want Yan Qing to get involved in such a swamp.
Even if she marries King Zhao, it is better than following herself.
"Why are you crying Qingqing?"
"Her foot is sprained, and fifth brother is rubbing her foot. She must be crying in pain!"
They didn't realize that the emperor and Jiang Xinyue were standing behind them, chatting with each other through the bombardment of fireworks: "Xiaowu's expression is wrong, it doesn't look like he is expressing his emotions when the person he likes confesses to him."
He seemed to be very entangled and conflicted, and what he showed more was the pain of being unable to respond to this feeling.
"I don't think Qing Qing is such a delicate girl who loves to cry. Did Xiao Wu say something that shouldn't have been said?"
Jiang Xinyue touched her chin: "I must accomplish this for him. My title as a gold medal matchmaker cannot be compromised by Xiao Wu."
By then, if the fifth prince and Qing Qing become friends, she should be laughed at.
Such a golden boy and girl were right next to her, and she didn't even notice.
