Chapter 56

Xie Xuanji stands behind Jiang Mingwei. Jiang Mingwei doesn't see it. Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen are opposite, but they are looking at it.

Mu Mingtang sees Xie Xuanji come in from the corner of his eyes, but he doesn't speak. He hides behind quietly and looks at Jiang Mingwei with a kind of eyes that are close to judging. He doesn't know what he wants to do. And Jiang Mingwei is also, she looks at Mu Mingtang they this direction, don't know what in thinking, unexpectedly absent-minded for a long time.

Mu Mingtang saw it but didn't show it, so did Xie xuanchen. They talked as usual, as if they didn't find anyone behind Jiang Mingwei. Mu Mingtang secretly bets in his heart when Jiang Mingwei finds Xie Xuanji. But before Jiang Mingwei finds out, Xie Xuanji can't bear it.

Maybe we can't blame Xie Xuanji. Jiang Mingwei's eyes are really too obvious. Mu Mingtang can't see it from such a long distance.

Even if he can't hear it, Mu Mingtang can expect that the atmosphere between the couple opposite will not be good. Xie Xuanji asked something. Jiang Mingwei was a little flustered. She pretended to be calm and whitewashed peace. The more she said, the worse Xie Xuanji looked.

Mu Mingtang by the action of pouring tea, quietly and Xie xuanchen said: "I think, after they go back to quarrel."

"It's no use going back." Xie xuanchen took the teapot in Mu Mingtang's hand and poured a glass of water for each of them. "Now we're fighting."

Mu Mingtang quickly looked back and found that the opposite situation was not optimistic. Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei's seats are next only to Mu Mingtang's. their husband and wife's changes can't be concealed from others. After a while, someone has already looked in the direction of Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei.

Mrs. Jiang, in particular, had the most worried eyes and could hardly help asking. Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji realized that there were so many people who were paying attention to them that they were a little more restrained. Jiang Mingwei stopped talking, and Xie Xuanji sat back in silence. However, although he sat down, his face was still tense, and he was far away from Jiang Mingwei.

You know, in the first half of the banquet, Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei sat side by side, with the style of childhood sweetheart and golden girl. Although Xie Xuanji is sitting next to Jiang Mingwei, his body language can't deceive people. If you look at the distance between them, you can see that Xie Xuanji is not relieved.

Mu Mingtang wants to laugh very much, but now it's a banquet. In front of so many people, she can't express schadenfreude too clearly. Mu Mingtang can only twist his face in the direction of Xie xuanchen and block the smile on his face with Xie xuanchen's shoulder.

Mu Mingtang almost choked out his internal injury with a smile. He quietly said to Xie xuanchen, "do you think there's another one between them?"

Xie xuanchen also lightly laughed: "it seems that your eye medicine is in place." He then handed the teacup to Mu Mingtang and said, "drink water smoothly. Don't laugh too much. It's boring for you."

Mu Mingtang took it with a smile, sipped it and found it was Wen's.

Mu Mingtang was surprised: "is the queen so considerate in arranging the palace banquet? I've ordered this one. How about warm tea? "

"What queen." Xie xuanchen glanced at Mu Mingtang and said, "I called it for you."

"I'll just say, how could someone arrange it so carefully." Mu Mingtang knew that it was Xie xuanchen who called the water. He felt relieved and lowered his head to take another sip.

A cup of warm water into the stomach, the body really feel much better. In the middle of the banquet, the emperor and empress all went to the back to have a rest. The others either hid out to breathe or chatted with friends. There were only a few people on the table. No one had been drinking or eating for a long time. The first half of Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen's table has been restless. Now everyone is tired, but they can have a rest. After drinking tea, Mu Mingtang picked up the silver wine pot with a thin neck and filled it with wine for himself and Xie xuanchen.

"On New Year's Eve today, I drank a lot of other people's wine and paid back a lot, but I didn't have a drink with you. Here's to you. I wish you peace and prosperity every year. "

Mu Mingtang finished, took the cup to Xie xuanchen to smile, then small mouth small mouth drink. Xie xuanchen doesn't speak. He stares at the glass in Mu Mingtang's hand, and finally understands why she looks so strange when he drinks for mu Mingtang at the party just now.

Mu Mingtang was so easy to drink a cup, and his face was flushed again. She looks at Xie xuanchen not to move, the eye also wants to say and stop, strange ground asks: "how?"

Xie xuanchen's eyes fall on Mu Mingtang's lips. She has just drunk wine. Her lips are bright red, and there is a faint water on them. She looks very attractive. Xie xuanchen deliberately turned his eyes and said, "the cup in your hand is mine."

Mu Mingtang's brain suddenly confused. He didn't know whether he was drunk or something. He couldn't react for a long time. Fortunately, the awkward silence didn't last long. Xie xuanchen quickly picked up the wine cup in front of him, that is, Mu Mingtang's cup, and wanted to drink it.

Mu Mingtang suddenly reacts and quickly grabs Xie xuanchen's wrist. Xie xuanchen's arm has been raised in the air, and Mu Mingtang suddenly pulls it. The water in the cup does not even shake.

Mu Mingtang stares at him, and Xie xuanchen looks back calmly. Mu Mingtang was very embarrassed, and said: "what do you do?"

"When you toast, I'll drink a drop." Xie xuanchen seemed to be saying something more common, "you used my wine glass, so I had to use yours. You don't care about a cup, do you? ""But..." Mu Mingtang's face was already flushed. He didn't know whether he was embarrassed or drunk. His eyes were full of water. "I just used it. You can use it now. It's not..."

This time, Xie xuanchen took a look at her and drank the wine with an inexplicable smile. He put down the cup in Mu Mingtang's unbelievable eyes and said, "I've used it before. Is this one or two times worse? More about... "

Xie xuanchen swept Mu Mingtang with a smile, and his eyes were full of flying looks, arrogance and a touch of spring: "I use it. What can you do?"

Mu Mingtang pursed his mouth. Although he tried to make himself calm, his ears were still red.

Mu Mingtang was red in the face, even his brain was dizzy, and he had no time to pay attention to the opposite. She did not remember that the opposite couple was in a cold war, because there were still some relations with her.

Mu Mingtang feels that this burst of wine seems to be particularly strong, she is embarrassed to talk with Xie xuanchen. Fortunately, soon, the eunuch came out to remind everyone that the emperor and queen had come back.

At this time, it's about midnight. Fireworks and juggling performances have been arranged outside the palace. The emperor took them to drive outside, and Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen followed them to watch the fireworks.

Into the crowd, Mu Mingtang no doubt quietly relieved, fortunately no longer alone. In the presence of Xie xuanchen, people naturally vied with each other to avoid him. Finally, the emperor stood in the middle. Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were slightly biased. After that, they were princes and ministers. The queen and the concubines stood on the other side of the emperor.

In order to please the masters behind the fence, the little eunuch brought in fireworks early in the morning. Sparks, like peacocks, are blooming in the open space. When the time came, drums came from Xuande upstairs, loud and stirring, and the whole city fell into the sea of sound.

During the ban, firecrackers burst out in unison. The firecrackers were loud and loud. The biggest firecracker was more than 120. At this time, the people on the fence congratulated each other, and many people congratulated the Emperor: "Your Majesty, Wan'an, enjoy happiness and longevity forever, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

The atmosphere of the new year envelops the whole city. Mu Mingtang forgets his embarrassment and subconsciously pulls Xie xuanchen's sleeve. The sound of firecrackers almost drowned everything. Xie xuanchen had to lean over Mu Mingtang to hear what she was saying: "Wang Ye, happy new year."

Xie xuanchen smiles, looks back at her and says, "you too. Happy new year."

There was a lot of noise and all kinds of voices around, but when Xie xuanchen looked down at Mu Mingtang, they seemed to have become one world, only each other.

Xie xuanchen stood on his side, with colorful fireworks rising from behind him, exploding and blooming, which reflected his side face from time to time. The tear mole was more and more gorgeous against the fire.

It's like a man from heaven falls into the world by mistake.

Mu Mingtang took back his eyes, embarrassed to stare at him, and couldn't help smiling. Festivals are never the most important. It's just one day of the year. It's the people around you who give the festival its unique meaning.

This is their first new year. If they have a new year's wish, Mu Mingtang doesn't want to live a long life, doesn't want to be rich, but only hopes for the coming year.

The firecracker is noisy, and people pay New Year's greetings to each other. After a while, the formation slowly disperses. Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen didn't want to be crowded with other people, so they went out, far away from the emperor in the middle. Unexpectedly, Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen don't want to join in the fun. They just bump into Jiang Mingwei and Xie Xuanji on the outside.

The two of them just had a bad time. Now, of course, they don't have the heart to watch fireworks. As soon as the time passed, many people crowded into the middle to congratulate the emperor. Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei didn't have the heart to celebrate the new year, so they were naturally leaked out. However, Mu Mingtang and Xie xuanchen were too crowded and took the initiative to go out.

Now when two couples meet, the scene is very delicate. But mu Mingtang didn't have any self-knowledge, so he had to take the initiative to say: "my third brother and sister-in-law are here. The new year is coming. I'd like to wish you two a long time of love and beauty."

Jiang Mingwei usually loves to hear these words, but it's hard for her to be happy when Mu Mingtang says it. Jiang Mingwei pulled the corners of her mouth with a smile and said, "sister Xie."

"No thanks, that's what your second brother and I want." Mu Mingtang's eyes glided around the two people on the opposite side and said, "however, why don't the third brother and sister-in-law look very happy? Is there a conflict? "

The atmosphere obviously froze, Xie Xuanji light said: "no, second sister-in-law wrong."

"That's good." Mu Mingtang nodded and said, "if you don't have conflicts, it's not lucky to have conflicts during the Chinese New Year. Angry on the first day of the new year, angry for the whole year. "

Jiang Mingwei picked her eyes and was obviously offended by this sentence. Without waiting for Jiang Mingwei to speak, Mu Mingtang said her lines: "do you have something to say? If you have any dissatisfaction, you should say it quickly, but don't bear it. Swallow it on the first day of the new year, and swallow it for the rest of the year. "

Xie xuanchen couldn't help laughing. After Xie xuanchen smiles, the expression of the opposite couple is obviously more ugly.With a smile in his eyes, Xie xuanchen looked down at Mu Mingtang and said, "how can you say so many things, one by one?"

"The new year is a new year, which naturally makes sense." Mu Mingtang also Xie xuanchen one eye, seriously said.

With a smile, Xie xuanchen said to Xie Xuanji, "your sister-in-law is young, lively and straightforward. She's doing it for your good. You have to bear with her. "

"I dare not." Xie Xuanji slightly lowered his head, avoided Xie xuanchen's eyes, and said, "the second elder brother's words are serious, and the second sister-in-law's words are sincere. My younger brother remembers them and dare not neglect them."

Jiang Mingwei also reluctantly smile, said: "second brother, what is this, sister-in-law is right, new year should not be moved to bear. My sister-in-law is for our good. Can we blame my sister-in-law for not knowing what's good and what's bad? "

Xie xuanchen's weight is different from that of Mu Mingtang's. Mu Mingtang deliberately picks things up. Jiang Mingwei can turn a blind eye to them and contradict them secretly. But once Xie xuanchen opens his mouth, even Xie Xuanji doesn't dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"That's good." Just after the Spring Festival, Mu Mingtang was in a good mood this year. His eyes were flying and his spirit was clear. "If you are angry with your younger brother and sister-in-law, you must say it. Don't bear it, or you will have to bear it for the next year. Although the wind is calm and the waves are quiet for a long time, it's boring to live. Sister in law, don't you think so? "

Jiang Mingwei is very suspicious that Mu Mingtang is deliberately mocking her, but there is no evidence. Jiang Mingwei was about to fight back when there was a loud noise behind them. Mu Mingtang was startled and subconsciously hid behind.

Xie xuanchen immediately reached for her. Mu Mingtang grabs Xie xuanchen's sleeve and is shocked. When he looks back, he knows that an acrobat has hung a firecracker on his body. At the moment, he turns around with a crackling fire, which startles everyone around him.

When the emperor saw it, he laughed and clapped. The emperor is interested, and no one dares not to be with him. Jiang Mingwei is scared, but she still has to laugh and praise him.

Inspired by this, the artist takes all kinds of fireworks to do all kinds of complicated acrobatic movements in the open space. Although Mu Mingtang was scared, he had to admit that he was brave and looked very spectacular at the moment. Mu Mingtang hid in Xie xuanchen's arms, and he was afraid and wanted to continue to see: "he lit a firecracker on his body, and he ran so fast, not afraid to be burned?"

"Maybe there is a special way." Xie xuanchen finished, the artist and lit a firecracker, Xie xuanchen can feel Mu Mingtang obviously hide for a while, he had no choice but to cover Mu Mingtang ears, arm empty circle Mu Mingtang, said, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
