Chapter Fourteen: New Year's Eve (2)

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. This is the second year that Zhu Yinglong has lived in this time and space with his corpse. The last time he was in the palace, plus during his wedding, he was a puppet who lifted his strings. I don’t know how he spent this year. Tomorrow should be considered the New Year's Eve that he came to this time and space.

"Prince, the night cold is heavy, you should rest early!" Xu Yingyuan whispered to remind Zhu Yinglong, who was still pondering under the lamp.

"Ying Yuan, is there anyone else at home?" Zhu Yinglong asked slowly.

"Yes, but..." Xu Yingyuan stuttered.

"But what?"

"Prince, please stop asking, I don't want to say it." Xu Yingyuan suddenly knelt down and sobbed.

"Okay, get up, the ground is cold, I won't say it." Zhu Yinglong said lonely. Every family has a difficult sutra. He was thinking about his parents in that time and space. If they knew that they would die, they would be in absent. Unfortunately, they could not send a message in this time and space. Even if they could, their bodies would have been turned into ashes.

"Prince, I was sold to the palace. When I was six years old, Zhili suffered a disaster and had no food at home. I was the eldest, so my parents sold me to a human trafficker for five taels of silver. The human trafficker sold me to the palace, so I became a little eunuch. Because I was taciturn, many eunuchs in the palace didn't like me, so I assigned me to serve you, Prince. The prince knew what happened later." Xu Yingyuan cried and said his miserable experience. It seemed that he had never said these words to the real Zhu Youjian before, otherwise he would not have known that eunuchs were also very pitiful. Most of them were not bad by nature, and they were the kind that was hateful and pitiful.

"I was only six years old at that time, and I didn't know anything. I didn't know where my home was. I only knew it was Zhili. So although I knew there were parents and relatives, I didn't know where to find them." Xu Yingyuan continued.

"Ying Yuan, do you hate your parents?" Zhu Yinglong asked.

Xu Yingyuan shook his head and said, "I don't hate them, and they have no choice but to sell them. If I don't sell them, my parents and younger brothers will starve to death. Besides, the slaves are bought in the palace, and three meals and two meals are much better than theirs."

It is rare that a man who has entered the dirty court since he was six years old and can still maintain a innocent heart for more than ten years. Not every man will become like Wei Zhongxian after cutting that thing. So he patted Xu Yingyuan three times on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as your parents are alive, I will definitely help you find them and reunite your family!"

When Xu Yingyuan heard this, he was excited and burst into tears. He thrust his eyes, and knelt down again, kowtowed to Zhu Yinglong three times in a row and said: "The prince is kind, Yingyuan will never repay it in his life. Yingyuan will be the prince in the future. No matter whether he goes up to the mountain of swords and seas of fire, Yingyuan is willing to rush forward for the prince!"

Zhu Yinglong was also very excited and hurriedly helped him up and said, "I don't need you to go up the mountain of swords and fall into the sea of ​​fire. As long as you do your job well, I will be very happy and will not treat you badly in the future."

"Ying Yuan understands, thank you for your kindness."

"Okay, you go down and rest and call Yanhong to me." Zhu Yinglong ordered. From Xu Yingyuan's tragic experience, he thought of Yanhong, who was also a palace maid, so he wanted to know about Yanhong's situation.

Yanhong walked in with a basin of hot water. Since she got Zhu Yinglong's promise, she has become much cheerful and has more smiles on her face. Every night, she is here to serve Zhu Yinglong's feet soaking and then sleeping. It can be said that the three princesses did not know about Zhu Yinglong's body.

Soaking cold feet in suitable warm water, it's so comfortable. If you rub it carefully with a pair of gentle little hands, it feels like a life that a god lives. Zhu Yinglong doesn't want Yanhong to do these things, but Yanhong insists that she is his person, so she should do these things. Besides, he is her master, which is also her duty. Zhu Yinglong had no choice but to compromise. No wonder he said that it is the most difficult to absorb the kindness of a beauty.

"Yanhong, is there anyone else at home?" Zhu Yinglong thought about it and asked.

Yanhong's hand suddenly trembled, and continued to rub Zhu Yinglong's feet and lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhu Yinglong felt something was wrong, so he bent down and saw that the pair of bright red phoenix eyes were already wet. He reached out and grabbed her arms to stop her from rubbing her feet and said, "What's wrong, why did you cry well?"

"Prince, there is no one at my family." Yanhong didn't dare to look at Zhu Yinglong and said desperately.

"Yanhong, are you missing a single relative?" Zhu Yinglong said in surprise. Even if his parents are not around, there will always be a relative in the uncles and brothers or distant people.

"No, Yanhong is the daughter of a criminal, and was implicated in the nine clans. At that time, I was still in my infancy. I was lucky enough to escape the implication and didn't even know anything about my surname. This was told by the person who adopted me later. Then I was sold to the palace and then served by the prince." Yanhong talked about her sad things, and tears naturally kept flowing down.

"Where is the one who adopted you?" Zhu Yinglong couldn't help asking.

Yanhong shook her head and said, "I have never seen him again after I sold it to the palace, and I don't know where he is now."

Another poor person, fortunately she met herself, otherwise she didn't know what kind of tragic fate would be. She suddenly remembered herself, her parents and friends in that time and space, and she felt greatly pity for Yanhong. She unconsciously hugged the person in her arms, stroked Yanhong's hair carefully and said, "Yanhong, since you don't know what your surname is, it's better to take my surname from now on."

"No, Yanhong dares not have this blessing." Yanhong then realized that she was actually snuggling in her sweetheart's arms. She was very greedy for the beautiful feeling, but in surprise, she still stood aside and shook her hand desperately.

"I said ok, just do it!" If you don't have some domineering behavior, this girl definitely disagrees.

Yanhong finally surrendered to Zhu Yinglong's "power" and had her own surname. However, the little girl refused to let Zhu Yinglong tell anyone except the princess and sisters. Zhu Yinglong was happy to agree because he didn't want to cause trouble. He didn't have the power to give the "national surname".

On New Year's Eve, Zhu Yinglong was particularly longing for his parents in another time and space. Every night, the family gathered together to stay up to the New Year's Eve with a chat and laugh. I really don't know how they will spend New Year's Eve in the future, will the wrinkles on their faces increase again? Is their body worse than one year? Forgive your son for being unfilial and cannot be filial to you two old people! Zhu Yinglong prayed in his heart that his parents in that time and space were safe and happy. Tears had flowed along his cheeks to his lips, bitter and salty, just like his mood at this time.

Zhu Yinglong was drunk. This was the first drunkenness in his life. He really wanted to just get drunk like this and never wake up.
