The old man is a man who can't rest. In the Ming Dynasty, all ministries and offices began to officially work from the first day of the Lunar New Year. Zhu Yunxi, the crown prince, also continued to study step by step with the Hanlin bachelors of Zhan Shifu every day.
However, this year's first month is slightly different, and this year's first month is also particularly festive.
First it was Huai Wang Zhu Yunwen, and then the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi. Their marriages were almost in tandem. Huai Wang's wedding was scheduled for the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month she would go to Huai'an to join the feudal clan.
In a blink of an eye, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Yunwen moved back to the East Palace and lived in Ciqing Hall the day before his wedding.
Although the old man wanted Zhu Yunwen to join the feudal clan as soon as possible, he did not treat this concubine's eldest grandson badly. The proper etiquette was not neglected at all, and the rewards of gold and silver treasures in the inner treasury were also flowing like water.
But Zhu Yunwen, who was about to get married, just forced a smile, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the sadness hidden in his eyes.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the window, looking at the East Palace where he had lived for more than ten years and was full of memories, his eyes surging.
There are too many memories and too many laughters here for him. He was once the owner of this place, but in the end he could only be a passerby. A passerby who only left his name but no traces.
It's not that he is still unwilling, it's just that he feels a little lonely every time he thinks about it.
"Mother, my son is getting married. In a few days, he will go to Huai'an to become a feudal lord!" Zhu Yunwen looked at the Ciyun Palace beside him, which had no lights at all. "After leaving, I don't know when I can come back to pay homage to you."

Ciyun Hall, the place where the Lu family originally lived. Now in the brightly lit East Palace, it is as desolate as a cold palace.
"Your Highness!" Outside, a eunuch whispered, "His Royal Highness is here!"
Zhu Yunwen quickly wiped his face, straightened his clothes and went out to greet him.
"My lord, please see His Highness Taisun!"
"Second brother! Get up!" Outside the door, Zhu Yunxi pulled him up and said with a smile, "You are getting married tomorrow, are you nervous?"
"It's... not bad!" Zhu Yun smiled shyly.
He was not a sharp-tongued person in the first place, but after Lu's incident, he lost his Sacred Heart. He is usually more cautious in what he says, and since Lu's death, he has no energy at all, and he does not dare to fight if he can't compete with others.
"You have something on your mind?" Zhu Yunxi dismissed the eunuchs and entered the room and said, "Is there anything you can't let go of?"
"No!" Zhu Yunwen followed behind. Under the light, the five-clawed golden dragon on Zhu Yunxi's body was particularly dazzling, "My lord, it's okay!"
"Second brother!" Zhu Yunxi turned around and sat down, "Brothers you and me, although we had a small dispute in the past, we are still brothers after all. If anything happens, just say it directly, I will not let you have any regrets!"
"My lord..." Zhu Yunwen hesitated slightly.
"But are you thinking about Yunxi, Yunxi?" Zhu Yunxi said.
These two people are Zhu Yunwen's half-brothers, and they now live in the prince's palace. The palace is a snobbish place, and the princes and grandsons are proud and sensitive regardless of whether they are in power or not. After Zhu Yunwen came to power, even though he and the others were still prosperous
Wealth and honor, but their sorrow and sorrow, only they themselves know.
Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Yes, they are still young and don't like to study." After saying that, he raised his head and cupped his hands, and said seriously, "Your Highness, after all, we have the same father!"
"Have you forgotten what Prince Gu went to tell you that day?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If Gu was still blaming you in his heart, how could he take the initiative to get close to you? We are brothers from the same father and mother, and what has passed has passed.
Now, my second brother is their elder brother, and so am I! As the vassal queen, I will take good care of them and prevent them from being wronged!"
"Thank you very much!" A smile appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face, "That's all I'm worried about!"
"It's a big day, you see what you said!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Second brother, you don't need to live so despondently! When your mother was here before, you still had a bit of youthful spirit, but now it seems like your soul has been lost.
, if you continue to be depressed like this, your life will be ruined!"
With that said, Zhu Yunxi stood up and said, "You and I are brothers, and the past has long been written off. You are still the grandson of the emperor's grandpa. Although he hates your mother, he does not hate you. If you continue to be depressed like this, who will you deserve?"
Zhu Yunwen's character is like this. When encountering difficulties, he never wants to move forward, but is always immersed in the past and unable to get out. It sounds like he is indecisive, but it sounds bad that he has no ambition. Men can be scheming, capable, and even better.
Ambitious. But mature men should be free and easy.
On the way to fight for the throne, Zhu Yunwen failed. But it does not mean that his life has failed. At least the old man still has him in his heart, and he still has a long and good life.
But he is getting married soon, but he doesn't seem to smile.
"I..." Zhu Yunwen sighed, "I am a useless person!"
"You have been good at studying since you were a child!" Zhu Yunxi said, "In the future, you will study hard and become knowledgeable, and you will also be known as a wise king. Why bother, always worrying about the past. Grandpa Huang asked you to become a vassal, so you can
Leaving here is not a sign of love!"
"How many more days can you stay in this palace? Don't you feel uncomfortable when you become the emperor's grandfather? If it were not a biological brother, I would not talk to you so much at night. We have all grown up, and the emperor's grandfather is old. Really
The only elder who loves and protects you and my brother is Grandpa Huang."
"He doesn't want to see you so depressed! Do you understand?"
Zhu Yunxi's words were like nails piercing Zhu Yunwen's heart.
"I understand, I just feel..."
"If Gu was you, you might feel emotional!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "After all... you lost in the end. I am close to you, and Grandpa Huang has you in his heart. Let's face the past you with ease.
Cherish the future." After saying that, Zhu Yunxi gently tapped Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder, "Don't cry all day long, as if everyone owes you!"
"No, I am!" Zhu Yunwen's face turned red, "I am too petty."
"Grandpa Huang is not asleep yet, go and talk to him!" Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and had something in his mind, but he still didn't say it out loud.
What he wanted to say in his heart was, "With a character like yours, you can't hold on to your country! Being a rich prince is the best destination!"
The stars are falling all over the sky like the Milky Way, and the festive lanterns and stars under the moonlight echo each other.
Zhu Yunxi was in front and Zhu Yunwen was behind, slowly walking towards Fengtian Hall.
In fact, how Zhu Yunwen lives, whether he is happy or not, has nothing to do with him. He is not a virgin who is merciful to his enemies. He is worried about the old man.
When it comes to the word filial piety, we must first understand the heart of the elderly.
Lu's conspiracy and Zhu Yunwen's small actions not only did not hurt Zhu Yunxi, but became one of the reasons for his rapid rise to power. In order to show his open-mindedness and generosity, Zhu Yunxi always treated Zhu Yunxi's brothers well.
In this deep palace, the only one who really cares about them is the old man. No matter how much he hates Mrs. Lu, the old man never says a bad word to Zhu Yunwen. Even in private, he always says that Mrs. Lu led him astray.
In the past few days, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old man has been asking the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple, and Honglu Temple about Zhu Yunwen's marriage every day. The reward for converting him to the vassal has been rising again and again.
But Zhu Yunwen seemed to be completely unaware and accepted it submissively, without any act of gratitude in private. Perhaps he did not dare, or was afraid of the old man, so he became more cautious.
With his attitude and thoughts, it’s no wonder that the old man is so happy! How many more years does the old man have? How many more years does he have? After the vassal, Zhu Yunwen may never have the chance to return to the capital. Zhu Yunxi asked him to see the old man. Fundamentally speaking, Zhu Yunxi asked him to see the old man.
, also to prevent the old man from having any regrets.
When we arrived at Fengtian Temple, several eunuchs from the front had already come to greet us.
Zhu Yunxi stopped and said, "Second brother, go ahead! I won't go in alone!" He said, "Talk to Grandpa Huang. He is thinking about you. Don't make him miss you anymore. Don't make him miss you anymore."

"My lord, I understand!" Zhu Yunwen was also a smart man and had already noticed Zhu Yunxi's intentions. He smiled kindly and stepped forward.
The moment his back entered the hall, Zhu Yunxi sat casually on a step and looked at the sky full of stars.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen's suppressed crying came from the Fengtian Palace.
This was the first time I saw Zhu Yunwen since the old man ordered Lu to die that night.
I guess this is also the last time!
The sky is filled with twinkling stars, some shining all the time, and some just shining for a few times before falling into the night sky.
