Chapter 115
On New Year's Eve, the candles will be burned all night, and the family will sit around the fire and talk all night.

Shu Yao left the ancestral hall, returned to the main hall, and saw that Li Mingji had rearranged the banquet table, rewarded the servants with dishes, and replaced it with a table of dim sum.

Although these desserts looked very greedy, Shu Yao really couldn't eat anything, so she stared at it for a while, picked up the shaking Persian cat, and sat on the chair.

The girl leaned against the back of the chair, scratched the cat's chin, and swayed her two jade feet unconsciously. This was a very relaxed gesture.The Persian cat was touched comfortably, and it was lazily dozing off in her arms, with its mandarin duck eyes half-closed, as if it was so sleepy that it was about to fall asleep.

"If the princess is too sleepy," Li Mingji said, "you can go back to rest first, there are subordinates guarding here."

Shu Yao refused: "No."

As if aware of her impatience, she cleared her throat, confidently and with some twists and turns, "This princess is the owner of this mansion, how could she leave you alone to sleep peacefully? And you haven't celebrated Chinese New Year yet, This princess will take you to experience the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year."

Like a proud and awkward Persian cat, it has been fed for a long time with all its heart, and finally it is willing to lower its proud head and take the initiative to lick his palm.Li Mingji was startled, then smiled, "My subordinate Xie Junzhu sympathizes."

Li Ming treats people silently, always with a three-point smile in his eyes, as gentle as a spring breeze.However, that kind of gentleness does not reach the bottom of the eye, but adds a sense of alienation to him, making him look difficult to get close to.

Shu Yao doesn't know why she has such an intuition, but she can tell when Li Mingji is smiling coldly and detachedly, and when is smiling sincerely. She is the only one in his eyes.

Shu Yao stammered: "There is no one else here, and you don't have to always be 'subordinate' in front of this princess. When you get along in private, this princess allows you to call yourself 'I'."

In the past, I regarded him as a trusted subordinate and enjoyed his meekness and humility, but now I have a little bit of unexplainable affection. Looking at him like this, I always feel that everything is awkward.

Li Mingji smiled and said hello.

After thinking about it, Shu Yao asked, "What's your word?"

Li Mingji doesn't seem to have any close friends. As for his father, Li Jin, he also calls him "Erlang".

Then I heard Li Mingji say: "No. If the princess wants to, she can also draw up characters for me."

Yes.The characters were all drawn up by close elders. Li Mingji had no close friends or close elders. He might not even have the crown ceremony, so how could he have characters?

Shu Yao thought about her naming ability, and decided not to harm Li Mingji, "Forget it, anyway, this princess doesn't have a nickname."

She lowered her head slowly, put her chin in the soft and fluffy white hair of the Persian cat, and yawned in a completely relaxed gesture, "However, I gave myself a small word, 'Jiaojiao'."

This was when she was very young, she just started to learn painting, and she made it for herself, and never mentioned it to others.If there is anyone in this world who knows, it is probably the mysterious landlord of Chunjiang Huayue Building.After all, the painting she left in the Huayue Building on the Spring River was signed with the word "Jiao".

"The bright moon in the clouds," Li Mingji said in a gentle voice, "This small character suits the princess very well."

She didn't say which "Jiao" it was, how could he guess it?Speaking of which, Shu Yao suddenly remembered that the apprentice she hadn't found so far seemed to know her fine print... How did he know it?

But she undoubtedly enjoyed the feeling of being recognized by others, pinched the soft pad of the Persian cat, and blinked, "Of course."

Li Mingji got up suddenly.

"Princess, close your eyes."

The voice as gentle as a spring breeze seemed to have some kind of magic power to comfort people's hearts. Shu Yao obediently closed her eyes, her heart beating wildly with nervousness.

He came over, bent down, what did he want to do?Could it be that he finally couldn't hide his thoughts and wanted to kiss her?
Thoughts drifted farther and farther away, the sound of breathing approached, warm fingertips brushed against Shu Yao's eyelids, the young man seemed to be holding back a smile: "Princess, you can open your eyes now."

On his fingertips, there was a bunch of white, soft cat hair.

No wonder Shu Yao always felt itchy eyelids, it turned out that the little thing in her arms was shedding hair again.

Shu Yao didn't want to admit that she was disappointed, so she glared at the culprit in her arms in embarrassment, "This little thing looks good on a skin, without a brain."

The Persian cat blinked suspiciously: "Meow?"

Gently flicking off the cat hair sticking to his fingers, Li Ming said leisurely: "Princess."

Shu Yao said "Huh?" "What?"

"In front of outsiders, the Princess doesn't have to be so obedient," he pointed out, "What if you meet someone with an evil heart?"

... Then he must have an evil heart first!
……

Shu Yao no longer remembered when she was so sleepy that she fell asleep, and when she woke up, there was not a banquet table full of snacks and fruits in front of her, but a familiar pear wood canopy bed.The Persian cat huddled into a hairball, lying soundly asleep at her feet.

Shu Yao opened the curtain and asked the pine needle who was guarding the door: "How did I come here last night?"

Pine Needle, who had already been hurt once, sighed silently in her heart, with a feeling of hatred for iron and steel, "At about three o'clock, Guard Li brought you in. Guard Li said that he cooked Hoto to make you sleep. Go and taste it when you wake up."

Hoto is a kind of noodle dish. The dough is cut into ropes or flakes and boiled with soup.However, last night's dishes were too rich, so this staple dish was not served.

In the past, when celebrating the New Year with my uncle, even if he didn't use chopsticks very much, he would order someone to cook a bowl of Hoto and put it next to him, saying it was a Chinese New Year custom.

Last night's meal hadn't been digested yet, and she was greedy again in the morning, and Shu Yao accidentally overeat again, so she had to take a walk to digest food while going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

The queen was still in Anshun Palace behind closed doors, and Shu Yao paid respects to Emperor Yong, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Shu who is now in charge of the harem.

Concubine Shu presided over the palace banquet last night.Concubine Shu is from Jiangnan, she has a graceful and delicate face, although she is not a stunning beauty, she is very attractive.

Shu Yao played well with Princess Jiayi, but rarely dealt with Concubine Shu. She only knew that she came from a small family without a strong mother clan, and her personality was as gentle as water.Concubine Shu didn't often attend banquets in the past.It was the first time last night that she was dressed so grandly that she almost didn't recognize her.

Concubine Shu nodded slightly to her, said "Princess Master" softly, and took out a red purse for her, "This is the new year's money from the concubine to the princess."

Logically speaking, Concubine Shu is just a concubine, and she shouldn't be the one to do this kind of thing.It's just that Emperor Yong beside him didn't say anything to stop him. Shu Yao glanced at Emperor Yong, took the purse, and said obediently, "Thank you, Concubine Shu."
