Chapter 78 Returning to Beijing (1)
The year is almost over in a flash.
The old man was a person who couldn't rest. From the first day of the Lunar New Year, various departments and government offices began to work formally. Zhu Yunsheng, the crown prince, also continued to follow the Hanlin scholars of the Zhanshi Mansion step by step every day.
However, this year's first month is slightly different, and this year's first month is particularly festive.
First, King Huai Zhu Yunwen, then the crown prince Zhu Yunsheng, and the two of them had almost one after another. The wedding date of King Huai was scheduled for the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he was going to Huai'an to take the vassal.
In a blink of an eye, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Yunwen moved back to the East Palace the day before his wedding and lived in Ciqing Hall.
Although the old man wanted Zhu Yunwen to be a vassal immediately, he did not treat this grandson badly. The ritual system he should have was not lost at all, and the rewards of gold, silver and treasures in the inner warehouse were like flowing water.
But Zhu Yunwen, who was about to get married, just forced a smile. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the sorrow he hid in his eyes.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Zhu Yunwen stands in front of the window and watches him live for more than ten years and is full of memories. His eyes are filled with expressions.
There are too many memories and too many laughter here. He was once the owner of the place, but in the end he could only be a passerby. A passerby who only left his name but no trace.
It’s not that he still feels unwilling to accept it, but that he always thinks of these things and is a little lonely.
Mother, the son is about to get married, and he will go to Huai'an in a few days to get a vassal! Zhu Yunwen looked at the Ciyun Palace, who had no lights at all, and thought to himself, I don't know when I will come back to pay homage to you when I leave!
Ciyun Palace, the place where the Lü family used to live. Now in the brightly lit East Palace, it is as desolate as a cold palace.
Your Highness! Outside, an eunuch whispered, "The Grand Historian is coming down!"
Zhu Yunwen quickly wiped his face and tidied up his clothes to greet him.
Me, see His Highness the Grand Prince!
Second brother! Get up quickly! Outside the door, Zhu Yunxiu pulled him up and said with a smile, "I'll be married tomorrow, are you nervous?"
And...fortunately! Zhu Yunwen smiled shyly.
He was not a clever person, but after the incident with the Lü family, he lost his holy heart. He spoke more cautiously. Moreover, since the death of Lü family, he lost all his energy, and he could not fight again without fighting.
Do you have any worries? Zhu Yunxiu waved his eunuchs back and went into the room and said, "Is there anything else that I can't let go?"
No! Zhu Yunwen followed behind, under the light, the five-clawed golden dragon on Zhu Yunxi was particularly dazzling. I'm fine!
Second brother! Zhu Yunxiu turned around and sat down. Although you and my brothers had a little dispute before, they were brothers after all. If there was something wrong, you would just say that I would definitely not make you regret it!
My minister... Zhu Yunwen hesitated slightly.
But I was thinking about Yunxi, and Yunxi? Zhu Yunxi spoke.
These two are both Zhu Yunwen's brothers and brothers, and now they live in the prince's place. The palace is a snobbish place, and the princes and grandsons are both proud and sensitive, regardless of whether they are in power or not. After Zhu Yunyu took office, although they are still rich and prosperous, only they themselves know the bitterness.
Zhu Yunwen nodded, yes, they were still young and didn't like to study. As he said that, he looked up and bowed, and said seriously, Your Highness, after all, a father and a compatriot!
Have you forgotten what Gu went to the prince and said to you that day? Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, If Gu was still blaming you in his heart, how could he take the initiative to get close to you? We are a fellow father and compatriots, and what was gone will pass. The second brother is their brother, and so will I! After you are in the vassal state, Gu will take good care of them and prevent them from being wronged!
Thank you! Zhu Yunwen showed a smile on his face, and I was just worried about it!
On a happy day, look at what you said! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, Second Brother, you don’t need to live so depressedly! When your mother was there, you still had a bit of a youthful spirit, but now it seems that your soul is lost. If you continue to be depressed like this, you will be ruined for the rest of your life!
As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu stood up, you and I are brothers, and the past has long been written off. You are still the grandson of the emperor's grandfather. Although he hates your mother, he does not hate you. Who can you be worthy of if you continue to be depressed like this?
Zhu Yunwen's personality is like this. When encountering difficulties, he never wants to step over, but he is always immersed in the past and cannot get out of it. To put it nicely, he is indecisive, but not nicely, he is lack of ambition. Men can be scheming, have skills, and have ambitions. But mature men must be more free and easy.
On the way to the throne, Zhu Yunwen failed. But it does not mean that his life failed. At least the old man still has him in his heart, and he still has a long and wonderful years.
But his wedding was about to happen, but he didn't look like he smiled.
I......... Zhu Yunwen sighed, I am a useless person!
You have been studying since childhood! Zhu Yunxiu said that studying hard in the future can also make you famous as a wise king. Why bother to always keep the past in mind. Grandpa Emperor asked you to be a vassal and let you leave here, which is not a kind of care!
How many days can you stay in this palace? Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable being the emperor's grandfather? If it weren't for the brothers, I wouldn't have told you so much at night. We have grown up and the emperor's grandfather is old. The elders who truly love you and my brothers are the emperor's grandfather.
He doesn't want to see you so depressed! Do you understand?
Zhu Yunwen's words were like a nail pricked in Zhu Yunwen's heart.
I understand, I just think...
If Gu is you, you may feel emotion! Zhu Yunxi continued, after all... but you lost. Gu is close to you, Grandpa Huang has you in his heart, you should face the past freely and cherish the future. As he said that, Zhu Yunxi gently beat Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder, don’t cry all day long, as if everyone owe you!
I don’t have it! Zhu Yunwen’s face turned red, it’s because I am too petty.
Grandpa Emperor hasn't slept yet, so go and talk to him! Zhu Yunxiu thought about it, but there was something in his heart, but he still couldn't say it.
What he wanted to say in his heart was that with your personality, you can't defend your country! Being a wealthy prince is the best destination!
The stars are falling like the Milky Way, and the festive lanterns under the moonlight echo the stars.
Zhu Yunqiu was in front and Zhu Yunwen was behind, and slowly walked towards Fengtian Palace.
In fact, how Zhu Yunwen is alive and happy is not related to him or her. He is not the ruthless Virgin who is merciful to the enemy. He is worried about the old man.
To the word "filial piety", you must first understand the old man's heart.
The conspiracy of the Lu family and Zhu Yunwen's small actions not only did not hurt Zhu Yun's name, but instead became one of the reasons for his rapid rise. In order to show his open-mindedness and generosity, Zhu Yun's name has always been kind to Zhu Yunwen and his brothers.
In this deep palace, the only one who really missed them was the old man. No matter how much he hated the Lü family, the old man never said a word to Zhu Yunwen. He even privately said that it was Lü who led him to ruin him.
In the past few days, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old man asked Zhu Yunwen about his marriage to the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple, and Honglu Temple every day. He gave his rewards to the vassal period and rose again and again.
But Zhu Yunwen seemed to have no idea at all, accepted it in obedience and did not have any thanks in private. He might not dare or was afraid of the old man, so he became more cautious.
It would be strange if the old man could feel happy with his attitude and thoughts! How many years will the old man have? How many years will he have? After the vassal period, Zhu Yunwen may not have the chance to return to the capital. Zhu Yunhe asked him to see the old man, in essence, to prevent the old man from having any regrets.
Fengtian Palace has arrived, and several eunuchs in front have already welcomed them.
Zhu Yunxiu stopped, Second brother, go! The orphan will not go in! As he said that, he said, "Talk a good talk with Grandpa Emperor, he is thinking about you in his heart, don't let him go, let him think about you again!"
I understand! Zhu Yunwen is also a smart person. He has already realized Zhu Yunhe’s intention and smiled kindly, and walked forward.
The moment his back entered the hall, Zhu Yunxiu sat casually on a stairs, looking at the sky full of stars.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen's suppressed cry came from Fengtian Palace.
This is the first time I have met Zhu Yunwen since the old man killed Lu that night.
It's probably the last time!
