Chapter 1057 The Empress is also an ordinary person
San San has always been quiet, but at this moment he tugged at his mother's clothes to ask for the lotus lantern. His eager look really made people feel soft-hearted.
The petals of the lanterns were dyed bright red and emerald green, swirling gently in the river, making the moving ship look particularly magnificent.
Little girls still love this tune.
Cen Yuan bent down and picked up San San, coaxing her softly, "Look, this dress is too heavy for mother. Let's take a break and bring San San out to release the lotus lanterns in the evening, okay?"
San San was suddenly picked up by his father, and his little body froze instantly. His eyes were wet, and he kept glancing towards his mother, but he didn't dare to look up at the strange father who was holding him.
Shi Anxia stretched out her hand and pinched the soft flesh on her daughter's cheek, and said with a smile, "Father asked a question, why didn't San San answer?"
San San then answered softly, "Yes." Then he remembered his mother's teachings earlier and added, "Thank you, father."
This is not familiar.
But her hands were very honest and had already circled her father's neck.
Er Er tilted his little head and tugged at Cen Yuan's collar.
No words were spoken, but the meaning was self-evident.
I want to be hugged, too! I want to light lanterns, too! I want my father to love me, too.
Cen Yuan bent down and picked up Er Er steadily with his left hand.
One on each side.
Ye Baoer barked, his tail almost breaking from shaking, and he stood up, scratching his owner with his claws.
Cen Yuan lowered her head and smiled, "Bao'er, do you think I can hug you?"
He called Ye Baoer "Baoer", but his eyes were looking at Shi Anxia.
That look was indescribably brilliant.
Shi An's cheeks were flushed with joy. She pursed her lips and called her son over, "Yi Yi, take Ye Baoer out to play."
One by one, they said "OK" and clapped their hands, "Baoer..."
Shi Anxia: "..."
Cen Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Er'er and Sansan didn't know what their parents were laughing at, but they laughed along anyway.
For a moment, people were laughing and dogs were jumping.
The people on the shore could see from afar the Feather Emperor holding the child on the ship, the Feather Queen with her bright and gentle smile, and the laughing dog, with a child's head next to the dog.
The beauty of this prosperous era...it turns out that the emperor and empress are also ordinary people, with the joys that ordinary people have.
By the time the ship reached Wangshi Beach, the sun had already set slightly. Although the noon ceremony was over, the jubilation on both sides of the river became even more lively.
The two of them, accompanied by their children and dog, left the ship first and boarded the imperial chariot under the escort of the Qingyu Guards. This was a "temporary rest for the emperor and empress" permitted by etiquette. The subsequent outer court banquet was hosted by the prime minister to entertain all officials and envoys from various countries.
At that time, the emperor only needs to attend, and the empress does not need to be present.
Originally, there was a wedding banquet in the inner chamber, which was a private ceremony between the emperor and the empress. Since Cen Yuan and Shi Anxia had been married for a long time, they did not need to go through this ceremony.
In this way, Shi Anxia was relieved today.
After being busy for most of the day, the family was already starving.
Shi Anxia's phoenix robe weighed more than twenty kilograms. The phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread made her shoulders numb, and the nine-phoenix and four-phoenix crown made her forehead hurt.
At first, he could still bear sitting on the phoenix carriage, but later he stood on the ship for a full hour, and the back of his inner clothes was already soaked with sweat.
As soon as they stepped into the palace bedroom, Cen Yuan raised her hand to stop the formalities and asked Nan Yan to take the children to eat something first.
When he personally unbuttoned Shi Anxia's crown, his fingertips touched a deep red mark on the back of her neck, and his brows immediately frowned.
Bei Hui and others hurriedly brought light casual clothes for the queen to change into behind the screen.
After everyone left the hall, Cen Yuan stuffed a piece of honey tuckahoe cake into An Xia's mouth, "Fill your stomach. You stay with the children to rest first. After the outer court banquet is over, I will pick you and the children up to release river lanterns. The Huaixing River will surely be lively tonight."
"Okay." Shi Anxia was no longer polite to him and lay on the couch for a long time, unwilling to move.
Cen Yuan felt distressed, but also happy. He suddenly leaned over and pulled her into his arms, "We don't have to hide from each other anymore."
Shi Anxia's eyes flickered, her fingertips gently traced the dragon pattern on his collar, and with a sly look on her lips, she teased him, "Your Majesty, your three palaces and six courtyards are still empty. Should I arrange some for you?"
Otherwise, who would she, the queen, take care of?
Cen Yuan grabbed her hand, his palm against her wrist, "If the Queen has the energy to worry about this, why not..."
"Father!" Yi Yi pushed open the beaded curtain with the food box in his arms. Bei Hui was unable to stop the boy. "I am so hungry that I can swallow a whole roasted...er...lamb!"
He suddenly ran into his parents being affectionate... Actually, as long as he is not embarrassed, his parents will be embarrassed.
Yi Yizhu was very thick-skinned. He jumped over and laughed, "Mr. Song told me that the rules in the palace are strict and asked me to be careful in what I say and do. In fact, in my opinion, this place is not much different from the house in Tiema City except that it is more luxurious."
Cen Yuan and Shi Anxia smiled at each other, and took their son out to set rules so that he would not disturb Shi Anxia's rest.
Yi Yi screamed and cried, feeling that the way he was held was so familiar.
But he still didn't find any connection between his father and Master Ye Xun.
Until he heard his father whisper in his ear, "Little brat, what are the words after the moonlight shining brightly on my bed?"
Yi Yi's eyes widened, "You!"
"What?" Cen Yuan picked up his son and threw him into the air, then caught him, making his son scream and giggle. He threatened his son, "If you can't answer, I'll beat you up!"
"Bed, moonlight shines brightly in front of the bed, Yi Yi sleeps soundly, dreams of roasted whole lamb, drools three feet long." Yi Yi laughed happily, and got slapped on the little butt, "Hey, hey, hey, don't hit me, don't hit me, I think it's, I think it's frost on the ground. Oh, are you a relative of Mr. Ye Xun?"
……
Shi Anxia ate something and felt much better after taking a bath. She rested under the gauze tent for two hours before waking up.
She thought she would not be able to sleep after changing her place, but unexpectedly she slept very soundly.
If Bei Hui hadn't called her, she would have continued sleeping.
Bei Hui helped her master dress and wash, and said with a smile, "Yi Yi seems to know that the young master... no, the emperor, knows that the emperor is Mr. Ye Xun. He jumped for joy in the yard for a long time, and Ye Baoer also went crazy with him. The man and the dog really have endless energy."
Shi Anxia stretched lazily and said, "I've been running out of energy for a long time. Since I had the baby, my health has been worse than before."
This was thanks to Madam Meng's good treatment. If it hadn't been for her, she would have collapsed long ago.
Speaking of this, Bei Hui laughed softly and said, "To be disrespectful, it's a good thing there's no Empress Dowager above you, otherwise you would have to suffer a lot tomorrow."
If the Empress Dowager were still alive, Shi Anxia would have to perform the audience ceremony of six bows, three kneelings and three kowtows before her tomorrow, which would reflect the formal establishment of "filial piety" and the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship".
"It's not easy actually." Shi Anxia thought of the coronation ceremony and suddenly wanted to sleep again.
When the moon was above the willows, Cen Yuan returned from the court meeting as promised and took his wife and children to release river lanterns.
They travel in casual clothes.
Bei Hui and others accompanied them, and the Qingyu Guards escorted them.
When we arrived at Wangshitan, it had already been cordoned off.
"Sir!" Six figures ran towards Cen Yuan and knelt on one leg. "Sir, please accept our respects."
