A few days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve of the 25th year of Tianwu.

Because Concubine Yun lives in the Chun Palace, Xuan Tianming arranged his family to go to the Chun Palace to celebrate the New Year. But when it comes to the whole family, it was nothing more than him and Feng Yuheng. At most, each brought his attendant Bai Ze and his maid Wangchuan Huangquan. Originally, Feng Yuheng would take Xiang Rong with her, but Xiang Rong lived in the Chun Palace first, so that she had no one to take her anymore. Xuan Tianming also proposed to let Feng Zirui go out to celebrate the New Year in the last morning court in the old year, but was rejected by Emperor Tianwu. He left Feng Zirui in the palace on the grounds that "I like that child very much."

Feng Yuheng didn't say anything about this. After all, she couldn't control many things. At least the current Dashun Dynasty was the only one who had the final say. The emperor wanted to keep one person in the palace. Besides stealing, what else could she do to bring people out? Fortunately, Xuantian Ming Xuantianhua arranged people to take care of him in the palace, so she didn't have to worry too much.

The group got on the palace car and rushed to Prince Chun’s mansion with the snow that had been falling all night last night. At that time, at the gate of Prince Chun’s mansion, the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi personally left the mansion and rushed here to pick him up and celebrate the New Year.

Feng Xiangrong stood in front of the door of Prince Chun's mansion, and a maid helped her hold an umbrella and put on a pure white cloak with a furry collar and hat. Her face looked even more dry and refreshing, and she also faintly looked like Xuan Tianhua was wearing white clothes.

Xuan Tianyi looked at him and frowned and said, "This color is not suitable for you. Why is the little girl wearing white clothes? Are she filial? "

Xiangrong ignored his words and said lightly: "You go back, I won't go to Pingwang Mansion to celebrate the New Year. You and I are just masters and apprentices. I haven't heard of the master going to his apprentice's house to celebrate the New Year, let alone you are the prince, which is not in accordance with the rules."

"Lao Qi is still a prince!" Xuan Tianyi pointed at the Chun Prince's Mansion in anger and shouted loudly: "Lao Qi is also a prince, why? Do you follow the rules when you spend the New Year at his house?"

Xiangrong explained to him: "That's because the relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess is relatively close, and I and the Ninth Princess are sisters. I stay here to wait for my sister to come together for the New Year. If you don't believe it, just wait at the door of this mansion for a while. I think Your Highness Ninth Prince and my second sister are about to arrive."

"You said they came here for the New Year too?" Xuan Tianyi was a little puzzled. "In the first year of her wedding, why don't you enjoy the world of two at home? Why are you joining in here?"

Of course, I couldn't tell him that it was because Concubine Yun was also there. After all, Concubine Yun left the palace as a secret. No one knew except Prince Chun's mansion and the couple Yuwang, and no one could tell him any more. She only said to Xuan Tianyi: "After all, they are all children raised by Concubine Yun, so it is natural to have the New Year together."

"Hmph!" Xuan Tianyi snorted coldly, "Isn't it just that they are brothers? Yes, I don't have a friend, so I deserve to celebrate the New Year alone in my house alone. I've been with you in Ji'an County these days and asked you to spend the New Year with me. You don't do it. It's really inhumane."

Xiangrong said: "I originally wanted to celebrate the New Year with my second sister. Even if I don't stay in Prince Chun's Mansion, I wouldn't be able to go to Prince Ping's Mansion. Fourth Your Highness, I told you when I was in Ji'an County that the master and apprentice are master and apprentice. I understand my own thoughts. You are very good, but since I have such thoughts, I shouldn't give you any hope. That's not something that my conscience can bear."

"You just want to be with him so much?" Xuan Tianyi pointed out Xiangrong's inner feelings so obviously for the first time. He asked Xiangrong: "Do you know how many people in this world like him secretly? But who do he like? Does he seem to be looking for women in his life?"

Xiangrong smiled a little miserable, and she said, "I have never hidden anything from you. I have someone in my heart that I can't erase it no matter how hard it is. This is my life, I can only admit it."

"But he didn't like you at all!"

"That's his business." Xiangrong raised his head and looked at Xuan Tianyi, saying firmly, "Whether he can look down on me, that's his business, I can only take care of myself. Fourth Prince, you go back!"

After she said that, she didn't stay any longer and turned around with the maid beside her and left. Xuan Tianyi didn't stop her anymore, but subconsciously stroked her face and murmured to herself: "Does she think I'm too old? Compared with the little girl, I'm really old!"

Xuan Tianyi was turned away like this, watching Xiangrong bypassing the front yard and entering the back yard. When he could no longer see him, he suddenly had an idea and quickly spoke to the servant beside him: "We will stay in the Chun Palace for the New Year too! Lao Qi and I are brothers, why can't we celebrate the New Year together? That's it!" He said as he was about to walk into the mansion, and even one foot had crossed the threshold, but was stopped by the housekeeper of the Chun Palace.

The housekeeper said to him: "The Fourth Prince, I'm sorry. Today, the Chun Palace will not receive any other visitors except the Imperial Prince and the Imperial Prince! Please forgive me."

"Ah?" Xuan Tianyi didn't expect that she would be rejected so soon. She felt angry and couldn't help but point to the direction where Xiang Rong Shi left, saying, "Where is that girl? She is not from Prince Chun's Mansion, why do you still need to receive her?"

The housekeeper looked back and smiled and said, "Is the Fourth Prince talking about Miss Feng San? You are wrong. Miss Feng San is not a guest, she has always lived in the mansion." In one sentence, he simply attributed his wish to the people originally found in Prince Chun's mansion, which made Xuan Tianyi feel indignant again.

But no matter how unhappy he is, what can he do? As Xiangrong said, this is her own choice. Even this choice doesn’t matter what the other party’s attitude is. She is happy whether she can look at her or not. This is really hard to buy someone’s willingness!

He took his steps back, looked deep into Prince Chun's mansion, then turned around and left without leaving much. But the steps of leaving were a little heavy, with ten thousand unwillingness. But no matter how unwilling it, he could not resist the courage he had accumulated over several years and the persistence of not turning back without hitting the wall.

On that night, Prince Chun's mansion was very lively. Because Yun Fei was there, the home was more like a home, and the two brothers were more like two brothers. In addition, there was a new wife Feng Yuheng this year, and there was also a future wife Feng Xiangrong who was prepared in his heart. The New Year's Eve dinner was very happy. Not only did he make dumplings and set off firecrackers, Xuan Tianhua also played the string zither for everyone. However, when the sound of the piano fell, Yun Fei, who was holding the dumplings with one hand and holding the red wine Feng Yuheng took out in the other hand, suddenly asked loudly: "Hua'er, tell my mother that people, do you like the three girls?"

This made everyone feel a little embarrassed. Although the red wine is delicious and even soft drinks are mixed, the momentum is still a bit high, not to mention the Lafite with the year taken out of the space by Feng Yuheng. Concubine Yun never stopped drinking it from the afternoon to the evening, and was already a little drunk at this time. Feng Yuheng was worried that Xuan Tianhua's answer would hurt Xiangrong's heart, so he quickly replied: "We all like it, we all like it." What she said was that liking it means liking it. Following up with a level of feelings is two different things, indicating that Xuan Tianhua should not be too hurtful when he is in the New Year.

Xuan Tianhua didn't make people too embarrassed. She just stared at her for a while and suddenly smiled and said, "My brother and sister are right."

Xiangrong twisted her skirt with both hands. When she heard such an answer, she felt relieved, but at the same time she was also a little disappointed. She was afraid of Xuan Tianhua's direct rejection, but she cherished Concubine Yun's sudden question, because except Concubine Yun, there is no one who will ask such a question again? She is very likely to keep her thoughts silently in her heart for the rest of her life, never dare to tell him directly, and never get an answer to him. This life may have been slowly spent in such hesitation. Fortunately, there is no Feng family now, and she will no longer have the pressure and force to get married.

Xuan Tianhua's answer was very vague, but it was also considered fooling around. Xuan Tianming advised Concubine Yun to drink again, and this article was also revealed. Concubine Yun sighed and looked at Xiangrong and said, "I really helped you, but you have to take the initiative! Look at your second sister and Ming'er are sitting so close, why are you doing so far away from Huaer? I'm afraid that he will eat you?"

Xiang Rong blushed and said quickly: "The Seventh Prince is playing the piano."

At this time, Xuan Tianhua's piano sound had already stopped, and the man walked back to the table and sat down. There was indeed a free seat next to him. He took the initiative to greet Xiangrong and said, "Come and sit here!"

Xiangrong felt very excited and walked over with a blushing face. With the slightly drunkenness, she sat down without hesitation and moved the chair to Xuan Tianhua again. She looked like she was dead, which made Concubine Yun giggle.

On New Year's Eve, people tacitly chose not to mention Emperor Tianwu, so as not to arouse Concubine Yun's sadness again during the New Year. However, after 30 years of drinking, Concubine Yun raised this sentence herself, and she said, "Guess, what are the old guys doing now?"

Inside the palace, there was also a New Year's Eve banquet outside the Zhaohe Hall. There were only three masters, namely Emperor Tianwu, Concubine Yuan Shu, and the eighth prince Xuan Tianmo. The three of them sat around the table and raised their glasses frequently. After Tianwu got a drink, Concubine Yuan Shu would twist the handkerchief at the right time to wipe off the wine dripping from the corner of his lips. Those who don't know would only sigh at how beautiful and harmonious the family of three were! But those who know, including the palace people who served inside and outside the Zhaohe Hall, did not say anything, but most of them felt a little emotional. They only said that on New Year's Eve this year, Emperor Tianwu was living a very different life from the past.

Not only did the palace people feel that it was very different, but even Emperor Tianwu himself felt a little strange. As he drank, he suddenly said, "This is the happiest New Year. Being with his wife and children is like achieving my long-cherished wish for many years." While he said, he gently hugged Concubine Yuan Shu, and memories appeared on his face. His words stopped, as if he was still thinking about something. It took a long time before he suddenly asked, "How did the years I spent in the past? Why can't I remember it no matter how I think about it?"
