Chapter 199: Sleeping in late won’t make you taller & New Year’s red envelopes
The palace was filled with a strong New Year atmosphere tonight. Chu Junze held her hand and strolled on the flat palace road.
Looking back on the past year, they were both very busy, but they also gained a lot.
The two smiled at each other as fireworks suddenly burst into the sky.
Chu Junze looked at her beautiful face, his heart full of love. Suddenly he leaned over and pecked her forehead lightly.
Su Qianqian was like a frightened deer. She looked around quickly, afraid of being seen.
Chu Junze looked at her nervous and shy face and couldn't help laughing.
Hearing his laughter, Su Qianqian's face instantly blushed and she lowered her head shyly.
At this moment, another gorgeous firework bloomed in the sky, illuminating their figures. Chu Junze lifted her chin and let her eyes meet his again.
"May our future be as brilliant as these fireworks," he said affectionately.
Hearing this, Su Qianqian's eyes sparkled with happiness. She nodded slightly and said, "I hope your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down."
After speaking, Chu Junze hugged Su Qianqian tightly in his arms, and the fireworks in the sky witnessed their love. The two of them silently enjoyed the beauty and peace of this moment.
After returning to Yaoguang Palace, the two found that their three little ones were still awake.
"Father, Mother, you are finally back!" the three little ones shouted in unison.
"Why aren't you asleep yet, my darlings?" Su Qianqian asked, touching Dabao's head.
"We're waiting for Father and Mother to come back to set off fireworks together!" The second brother answered quickly.
"There are also red envelopes. Where are the red envelopes for father and mother?" Sanbao asked anxiously.
Ever since Su Qianqian started giving out red envelopes to everyone during the Chinese New Year last year, everyone in Yaoguang Palace has been looking forward to the arrival of the new year.
"Okay, okay, okay, then I'll give you red envelopes first, and then we'll go set off the fireworks!" Chu Junze looked at them lovingly.
Su Qianqian took out the red envelope that she had prepared long ago with a smile on her face, "Here, Dabao, this is for you, Erbao, this is for you, and Sanbao, this is for you."
The three little ones who received the red envelopes cheered excitedly: "Thank you, mother, thank you, father!"
"Okay, let's go to the yard to set off fireworks now!" Chu Junze said, and took them to the yard.
Watch the fireworks blooming in the sky and listen to the children's laughter echoing in my ears.
Su Qianqian leaned in Chu Junze's arms and couldn't help but whispered, "I hope our family will always be so happy."
Chu Junze hugged her tightly, "I definitely will."
At this moment, a shooting star streaked across the sky. Dabao shouted excitedly, "Look, it's a shooting star! I want to make a wish!"
"I also want to make a wish. I hope that father and mother will be immortal (said Sanbao) and can always be with us (said Erbao)!" Erbao and Sanbao also said.
Looking at their innocent smiles and their sincere yet somewhat childish wishes, Chu Junze and Su Qianqian felt warm in their hearts.
After setting off the fireworks, the three little ones were still chattering excitedly.
Looking at their happy faces, Su Qianqian couldn't help but smile.
Originally, they were supposed to keep vigil on New Year's Day, but Su Qianqian felt sorry for the three of them because they were too young, so she didn't let them do that.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed." Su Qianqian said to them gently.
"But I don't want to sleep yet!" Sanbao said mischievously.
"You can continue playing tomorrow morning, and you won't grow taller if you sleep late!" Su Qianqian coaxed them patiently.
"Okay then." Sanbao went to wash and rest reluctantly.
Chu Junze and Su Qianqian watched the three of them gradually fall asleep, and happy smiles appeared on their faces.
After coaxing the three little ones to sleep, the two of them walked gently into the compartment. Chu Junze held her tenderly and stroked her belly gently.
"Another year has passed and we are still together. It’s great!" Su Qianqian said with emotion.
Chu Junze kissed her forehead gently: "Yes, time flies so fast, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember that during the Chinese New Year last year, those three brats couldn't speak clearly, but now they can express themselves fluently."
"Yes, our child has grown up, and we still love each other as deeply as before." Su Qianqian recalled the past, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
"We have been through a lot in the past two years, with laughter and tears, but fortunately we are always together." Chu Junze hugged her tightly, feeling the warmth of her body.
"Yes, I hope we can stay together forever, year after year." Su Qianqian leaned her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her heart filled with a sense of security.
Chu Junze stroked her hair and said softly: "I will always be by your side, protecting you and accompanying you forever."
The two of them just hugged each other quietly, enjoying this warm and peaceful moment.
It was not until the sound of New Year's firecrackers rang out that they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, Chu Junze woke up first. Looking at the person in his arms, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He gently kissed her forehead, then got up carefully, put on his clothes, and told Eunuch Xi to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After a while, bursts of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.
Chu Junze brought breakfast back to the room and woke up Su Qianqian.
After Su Qianqian finished washing up, she enjoyed a delicious breakfast with Chu Junze.
After breakfast, Chu Junze brought Su Qianqian to the main hall of Yaoguang Palace. Today is the first day of the new year, and they have prepared a lot of red envelopes, which they will give them later.
The Chinese New Year should be celebrated in a proper way, with a sense of ritual and all that. Those are all given by oneself, so giving red envelopes to everyone is her way of remembrance of the sense of ritual of the Chinese New Year.
Despite traveling through thousands of years, she met the right person, so luckily she can do what she wants.
At this time, Chu Junze and Su Qianqian were sitting in the main seats in the hall, and below them were the palace maids and eunuchs.
Chu Junze smiled and said, "Today is the first day of the new year. The Royal Concubine and I have prepared some red envelopes for everyone. I wish you all a happy new year!"
After saying that, he and Su Qianqian began to distribute red envelopes to everyone.
Everyone took the red envelopes and expressed their gratitude, their faces filled with happy smiles.
After handing out the red envelopes, Chu Junze held Su Qianqian's hand and strolled through the palace, chatting as they admired the snowy scenery.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside the palace, Su Qianqian couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, this year's Spring Festival is really lively!"
"Yes, with you by my side, I feel everything becomes better." Chu Junze looked at her affectionately.
Su Qianqian smiled, her heart filled with sweetness. They continued walking and unknowingly arrived at the Imperial Garden.
The plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, defying the snow and frost, and are beautiful beyond words.
"Wow, what beautiful plum blossoms!" Su Qianqian exclaimed.
"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!" Chu Junze picked a plum blossom and handed it to Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian took the plum blossom, sniffed it, and was intoxicated by the fragrance. In this cold winter day, this scent really touched her heart.
