After the winter solstice, Tao Ti, the Xu brothers and sisters, and Qinghe brothers set off for Mount Li Hot Spring.

In winter, Mount Li is covered in silver and covered in white, with a particularly majestic and magnificent nature.

Several people soaked in the villa in hot springs and ate hot pot, which was very interesting and had a lot of fun.

But when she saw Qinghe and Xu Guangji's affectionate feelings, they were in love with each other; when Mr. Xie showed kindness to Xu Wenchan in various ways and talked to him, Tao Ti couldn't help feeling a little disappointed-

He said it was okay, but in fact he felt wronged in his heart, and he was sour as lemon essence.

She also wants Pei Yan to accompany her ahhhhhhh!

Fortunately, this hot spring trip was only three days, and after three days, the group returned to the palace.

That night, Tao Ti pestered Pei Yan'er and told all her lovesickness for three days. Then Pei Yan counterattacked her and "loved" her for the middle of the night.

When she woke up at noon the next day, she held her sore waist and looked at the kiss marks all over her white and tender skin.

She doesn't miss him at all now! A beast!

...

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Zhaokang and the various departments of the court began to "seal" to prepare for the New Year.

The palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns and peach talismans were hung everywhere, and the palace maids and eunuchs also changed into festive new clothes, busy preparing for the New Year.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve was coming. According to the old rules, the emperor wanted to invite all officials and ministers to the palace and share the court banquet. As the crown prince, this kind of occasion was naturally there.

The court banquet lasted from noon to You hour, but there was a more lively family banquet in Tai Chi Hall at night.

Pei Yan first returned to the East Palace to change his clothes, and then went to Yaoguang Palace to pick up Tao Ti and go to the banquet together.

Because it is New Year's Eve today, Tao Ti wore a new bun with hibiscus embroidered tight narrow-sleeved jacket, a brocade skirt embroidered with hibiscus everywhere in the ground, her hair was tall, two golden-wire crabapple palace flowers, and a set of ruby-faced faces.

The hibiscus face, distant eyebrows, and a little red lips as full as cherries.

Such bright and festive dress made the palace people in Yaoguang Palace look straight at it.

"The princess's dress is so beautiful! It's like a fairy descending to earth."

"Who said no? You didn't realize that the Crown Princess seemed to be getting more and more beautiful? I think she is much more beautiful than when she just married into the Eastern Palace."

"This is called appearance from the heart. After our Crown Princess married the crown prince, the couple will be in love and the zither and the sound of the zither will definitely become more and more beautiful!"

"This is reasonable. When I leave the palace in the future, I will choose a husband who suits me and remarry."

The little palace maids chattered and talked, until Fu Xirui coughed, they came to their senses and hurriedly saluted the prince who appeared at some point.

Pei Yan said "No gifts" with a faint expression, and ignored them and walked into the hall with big strides.

The little palace maids patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Xirui held the whisk and glanced at them, "You are lucky. Fortunately, they praised the Crown Princess. If you dare to say bad things to the Crown Princess behind your back, you may not be able to live up to this year."

The little palace maid hurriedly said, "The Crown Princess is so good, we can't praise her enough, how dare you criticize her?"

Seeing that they all looked sincerely, Fu Xirui waved the whisk, "Okay, okay, don't hold it all, let's go to work hard."

The little palace maids smiled playfully and scattered.

Inside the hall.

Looking at the bright and beautiful Tao Ti in front of the dressing mirror, a stunning look flashed in Pei Yan's eyes.

He walked forward slowly and called out, "Ati."

"Your Highness, you are here." Taoti stood up and smiled at him, "I have packed up here, so we can set off."

Pei Yan stood in front of her, lowered his eyes and saw the little pigeon blood ruby ​​pendant on her forehead, small, shining with a bright and brilliant light.

"It looks great." He couldn't help but reach out and brush it, and a charming and shattered light rippled out.

Seeing her dressing up like this, he had only one thought in his mind: His little princess is so beautiful, he wants to give her all the best jewelry in the world, so that she will always be so dazzling and beautiful.

Under his hot gaze, Taoti's cheeks were hot, and his little hand gently pushed his chest and whispered, "There's still someone here."

The delicate eyes on the side look at the nose and nose: No, I am not here, I think I am air.

Pei Yan chuckled, suppressed the urge to reach out to rub her head, and held her hand, "It's getting late, we should go to Tai Chi Hall."

Tao Ti responded, held his hand intimately, and got on the sedan chair together.

At the right time of You, the two arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.

One is a tangerine orchid and the other is a beautiful woman. As soon as she enters the hall, she attracts the attention of everyone in the hall.

Tao Ti was a little nervous inexplicably. Fortunately, Pei Yan held her hand firmly, and she walked the road with her chest raised and her head raised.

After taking the seat, Qinghe blinked at Tao Ti and gave a thumbs up quietly: Good-looking! Great match!

Taoti pursed her lips and smiled.

Not long after, Emperor Zhaokang and Empress Zhou also entered the venue together.

Today, Empress Zhou wore a red embroidered nine-phoenix sun-chasing brocade robe, with a tall bun, wearing a phoenix crown with extremely gorgeous workmanship, exquisite makeup, and sitting on a phoenix chair, it was truly a national beauty and imposing.

I don’t know if it was Tao Ti’s illusion or what, but she felt that Queen Zhou’s condition was a bit inexplicably excited today? She was not as sad and haggard as she was some time ago.

Maybe it was the New Year, so she had to pretend to be happy, right? She couldn't be disappointed with a sad face.

Tao Ti didn't think much about it, and glanced at the sight and found that Pei Changzhou opposite was empty.

She leaned over to Pei Yan and asked casually, "Why didn't the third prince come?"

Pei Yan raised his eyelids slightly and said lightly, "He was infected with the cold the day before yesterday and was unwell. He was recuperating in the mansion. He had already said leave from his father before."

Tao Ti said "Oh" and then he kindly reminded Pei Yan, "The weather has been very cold recently. Your Highness, you should take care of yourself, wear more clothes, and don't get frozen."

Pei Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said in a gentle voice, "Well, I will."

Tao Ti then sat up straight and focused on the delicacies of the palace banquet.

Chicken, duck, fish and meat during the New Year are naturally indispensable. The ones on the Taoti table include glutinous rice duck, stewed pork with wild green, bird's nest, chicken shredded chicken, hot-smoked stuffing, dim sum, jade dew cream, square crispy stuffing, big and small buns, various dried fruits and fresh fruits, etc., which are all full of them.

Tao Ti loved the soft and glutinous sticky ball the most. After a while, the small plate in front of her was half empty.

When she wanted to eat again, Pei Yan stopped her, "No, eating too much sticky ball will not be cured. Be careful of being bloated at night and can't sleep."

His parents' tone of greedy children coexisted with seriousness and gentleness.

Tao Ti retracted her little hand that was stretched toward the sticky ball in disappointment, and obediently said "Oh".

Pei Yan poured her a glass of winter brewing wine, "Come on, have some wine."

Taoti took it and drank it.

Then Pei Yan poured her one cup after another-

Taoti, “???”

She felt like he was getting her drunk and had plenty of evidence.

She held the wine glass, her cheeks were a little red, and the alcohol was also on her head. Her black eyes stared at him with bright eyes, "Do you... are you... going to get me drunk?"

Pei Yan raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Is this wine delicious?"

Tao Ti smacked her lips and told the truth, "It's delicious."

Seeing her slightly drunk and cute look, Pei Yan's peach blossom eyes were bent and her smile was warm and charming. "I also think it tastes good, so I want you to drink more, and I don't mean to get you drunk."

Is that true? Tao Ti was stunned.

Pei Yan leaned over to her and said in a voice that only the two of them heard, "Besides, if I really want to do something to you, I don't have to wait to get drunk."

He gently stroked Taoti's cheek with the scorching smell of wine, and her heartbeat increased.

What he said seems to make some sense?

She opened her eyes widened, "Then can I drink it again?"

In the past, Pei Yan didn't let her drink too much, and she was worried that she would have a headache when she woke up the next day.

This time, he raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, "Drink it, it's the New Year, so you can drink it happily."

Tao Ti suddenly became happy and started drinking with the clear wine.

Soon, she became drunk.

Holding his dizzy head, he looked at Pei Yan pitifully, "Your Highness... Husband, I'm dizzy and sleepy..."

This call from the husband made a delicate call, and Pei Yan's Adam's apple rolled up and down.

He suppressed the inappropriate thoughts, held her soft body, and whispered, "Be good, I'll let Linglong take you back to rest first."

Tao Ti frowned, "But I haven't seen the fireworks yet."

She heard Linglong say that fireworks will be set on the night of the New Year’s Eve palace banquet, and then the fireworks will shine together, making them particularly grand and brilliant.

Seeing that she was so drunk, Pei Yan was still thinking about the fireworks, and was amused and crying, and coaxed, "You go back and rest first, you can see it even when you arrive at Yaoguang Palace."

Tao Ti nodded then, "Okay."

Pei Yan stood up and reported respectfully to Emperor Zhaokang, "Father, the Crown Princess is unable to drink, and I am afraid he can't continue to stay up to the New Year. My son and I have someone take her back to the palace to rest first."

Emperor Zhao Kang glanced at Tao Ti, who was drunk and confused, and nodded casually.
