The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Holding the red lantern in his hand, Shu Yao was stunned for a while, just staring at Li Mingji blankly.When he came back to his senses, he held the other hand and crossed the threshold with him.

The Persian cat was robbed of its place, so it could only squat at Shu Yao's feet, following her step by step, meowing dissatisfiedly.

"Princess, watch out for your feet."

Shu Yao thought to herself that it's not that she doesn't care about the road.

It's just that she really didn't have any intention of looking at the road, her gaze was completely attracted by the handsome and gentle young man in front of her, even at this moment when he was holding her hand, Shu Yao didn't blame him for being offended.

The New Year's Eve banquet in the palace has ended, and the New Year's Eve banquet in the princess' mansion has just begun.

Since the imperial dining room started to prepare early in the morning, and there were many rules on New Year's Eve, when the meal started, most of the food at the banquet became cold dishes and lost its original taste.Therefore, on New Year's Eve in previous years, Shu Yao always ate a few mouthfuls of snacks and fruits to pad her stomach, and then asked Pine Needle Chunrui to give her a small meal when she returned to the palace.

But what was put on the table tonight was not Songzhen Chunrui's special dish.Sugar crab, grilled lamb, fried duck, golden silk soup, perilla fish... The heat is dense, obviously just cooked.

"This is?"

"This subordinate is not talented, so I found a cookbook from the bookstore and tried it boldly," Li Mingji said, "Your princess, try it?"

He is learning to cut window grilles and tie lanterns.Shu Yao never imagined that he could cook such a complicated dish in the recipe.

In this world, is there anything he can't do?
Shu Yao couldn't hide the matter, so this idea just came up in her heart, and she already asked involuntarily.Li Mingji on the opposite side put a piece of mutton into her bowl, thought for a while with calm eyes, and nodded: "Yes."

This time, it was Shu Yao who was puzzled: "Huh?"

Li Mingji said: "Subordinates don't understand people's hearts."

Shu Yao muttered, "What kind of answer is this?"

Li Mingji stopped talking.

Ever since he could remember, the first emotion Li Mingji learned was hatred.Xiao Sui told him that he was the only descendant of the Li family in Daliang, and that to restore the country and seize power was the meaning of his life, otherwise, they would not have let him come into the world.

He doesn't know how to respect people, he doesn't know how to love people.He learned how to kill since he was a child. Xiao Sui once showed Dayong's map in front of his eyes and told him that these belonged to him originally.

If you want it, grab it.

This is the criterion that lasted throughout Li Mingji's life.

Now he can calmly sit across from her because he has experienced the grief of gaining and losing, and losing and regaining. He killed his past self with his own hands.

He doesn't understand people's hearts, so he doesn't know how to love people.

Because the dinner tasted so good, it was rare for Shu Yao to eat more.The snacks eaten at the previous palace banquet hadn't been digested yet, so she touched her swollen belly, looked at Li Mingji, and Shu Yao had a resentful expression on her face: "Why do you prepare so many dishes? You can't finish them all."

"My subordinates have never celebrated Chinese New Year," Li Ming said with a silent smile, "I just guessed that Chinese New Year should be like this. If there are more dishes, the taste of the New Year will be stronger."

Shu Yao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He and Li Jin stood together that day. They were obviously a father and son, but they were more polite than strangers who had never met before.Li Jin didn't even care about his son-in-law, it was hard to imagine what kind of life Li Mingji lived in the Li Mansion in the past.

Shu Yao said: "You stretch out your hand."

Li Mingji slightly raised his eyebrows, and put his hands in front of her as she said, "Princess?"

Shu Yao lowered her head, untied the pastel pink purse hanging from her waist today, and put it in Li Mingji's hand.

"It's your reward," Shu Yao said, "New Year's money."

Li Mingji squeezed it, and found a sesame candy wrapped in paper in his purse.

He squeezed the sesame candy, raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly. The usual gentle and handsome young man, when he did this, there was a bit of handsomeness between his brows, "Money?"

"It's a purse, a purse made by the princess himself." The night covered the rosy glow on Shu Yao's face, "It's hard to change a thousand dollars."

Bai Ri Xiaoxue's words are still in my ears: don't guess his mind, take the initiative to test him...

The little princess who has never put down her body to coax anyone thought to herself, is she active enough now?
A picture of a fifteenth moon night was embroidered on the purse, the stitches were clumsy, and it could be seen that the owner was not skilled.In front of Shu Yao, he tied the purse around his waist, "Thank you princess."

"Wait!" Shu Yao hurriedly stopped, "This is to be put under the pillow..."

She felt guilty when she said this, how could anyone give a purse as lucky money?This kind of thing should be handed over by the girl to her lover on Qixi Festival...

But Qixi Festival is too far away, Shu Yao can't wait for that day.

"Gift from the princess," Li Mingji said, "I want to put it where I can see it at a glance."

Shu Yao was slightly taken aback.

Li Mingji had already opened the package and put the sesame candy in his mouth, "Sweet."

Shu Yao was puzzled: "Can sugar be sweet?"

"The one given by the princess last time had a slightly sour taste."

Last time... last time it was plum candy, this time it was sesame candy, the taste is naturally different.Maybe it's because her mind is not clear anymore, she can taste something different about such a common sentence.

She said slowly, "Really?" She also took out a candy from the fruit plate, peeled off the coating and bit it in her mouth.

Have you never eaten sugar, how can it be as sweet as he said?

……maybe.

After eating, it is to worship the ancestors.

When the princess's mansion was still the Qinyanghou's mansion, the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Shu family were all enshrined in the ancestral hall. Later, when the Qinyanghou moved to the mansion, they were also moved out. Today, there is only Princess Yu Yongning in the ancestral hall. tablet.

Shu Yao backed away from the left and right, and walked into the ancestral hall alone, carefully arranged the offerings, and poured the Tusu wine brought from the palace on the ground in front of the memorial tablet.

"This is Tusu wine made by my uncle. He said that when I was a child, I spent New Year's Eve with you. You made the wine yourself. You only love the spicy, sweet and bitter taste of Tusu wine. You always drink it until you can't stand up. Now uncle has also learned Brewing Tusu wine, he asked me to bring it to you."

"This is the meal I brought from the palace banquet, and it was also prepared by my uncle. He said that you loved this fried cherry dish the most. Every New Year's Eve, he never forgets to bring you a copy."

When Shu Yao was half a year old, Princess Yongning passed away.She has never seen her mother's true face, and even though she has seen her mother's portrait in the palace, she can't imagine her mother's appearance.

However, Emperor Yong said that he and the eldest princess of Yongning have seven points of facial features. When she was young, the queen mother, Emperor Yong and the eldest princess of Ruyang would talk to her about their mother's past. The image of her mother was slowly sketched in Shu Yao's heart. .

Shu Yao chatted a lot by herself, and after burning another three sticks of incense, she said, "Mother, then I'll go to watch the New Year first."

Tonight is the first time for her to watch the New Year in her newly built mansion.

But she is not alone, there are others waiting for her.
