In the early morning, Zhu Yunxi, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the faint sound of firecrackers outside.
I don't know if it's because he lacks a sense of security. He is a very light sleeper and will wake up at the slightest noise.
"Your Highness!"
In the dormitory, several night watch palace attendants were about to come forward, but they were driven away by Zhu Yunxi. With bare feet and a blanket wrapped around him, he slowly walked up to the attic of the dormitory.
With a squeak, I stretched out my hand to open the window, and the cold wind that hit my face had a bit of a choking smell. The clouds in the sky that were not completely bright were very dense, making it appear that the sky was very low. Looking into the distance, the sound of firecrackers came from the Imperial Palace.
The direction outside the city.
"It's Chinese New Year!" Zhu Yunxi wrapped the blanket tightly around him, with a smile on his face.
"Dad, mom, grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma. Happy New Year!"
After muttering something in his mouth, Zhu Yunxi knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to the very low sky, "I kowtow to you!"
Looking up again, there were some tears on his smiling face. A gust of wind blew by, and the tears scattered in the wind, leaving no trace at all, except that his eyes were slightly red.
Deng Deng, rapid footsteps came.
Miaoyun and Wang Bashi held the clothes and kneeled on the attic with a group of palace people.
"Your Highness, you can't help it. You just got up and there was a cold wind blowing. It's terrible!" the bastard said anxiously.
"Don't make such a fuss!" Zhu Yunxi walked down the attic with a smile, "It's not that bad to be alone." As he said that, he opened his arms and the blanket on his body slipped off. Seven or eight palace officials hurried forward to help him change his clothes.
Today is the New Year, so we need to wear new clothes. Brand-new red five-clawed golden dragon auspicious clothes, new socks, new boots, even the gauze crown on the head is new. The close-fitting clothes are also new. Zhu Yunxi stood there, moving.
He didn't even move, letting the palace officials change him inside and out.
"Your Highness is naturally very strong!" The bastard knelt down and put on Zhu Yunxi's shoes and said with a smile, "Your Highness, do the boots still fit?"
"Yeah! Pretty good!"
The bastard smiled with a smile on his face, "I have seen that His Highness has grown taller in the past six months. When the clothes supervisor was making boots, I specifically told them to make them bigger!"
"How many years have you been serving Gu Gu?"
"Sixteen years!" The bastard bastard adjusted Zhu Yunxi's trousers, "His Royal Highness is still in his infancy, and the servant is working in the East Palace!"
Zhu Yunxi felt warm in his heart and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"I don't dare!" The shameless bastard quickly kowtowed.
"From now on, you will serve me for several more decades!" Zhu Yunxi said after changing his clothes and walking out, "We, master and servant, have a beginning and an end!"
"Master!" the bastard cried in shame, "I will serve my master for the rest of my life!"
Eunuchs, people with incomplete five senses, spend their whole lives in the deep palace serving their masters meticulously. The master is their heaven and everything. Although they are masters and servants, they also have feelings.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi walked into the palace, he saw Pu Wuyong coming over, "Your Highness, the two princesses are here!"
"Let them in!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Then, his two younger half-sisters came in with bouncing smiles. The daughters’ families were unknown, the eldest was Ning’er, and the younger was Xiu’er. They were both five or six years old, and they were Fen Diao.
Yuzhuo's age.
"Brother Prince, happy New Year!" The two little girls stepped on their short legs and knelt down to kowtow. Then they looked up with a smile and stretched out their chubby little hands.
"I came here early in the morning to ask for red envelopes, and I won't miss you!" Zhu Yunxi picked up one with one hand.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a custom of giving out red envelopes, not only among the people, but also in the palace. Emperors, princes, and princes rewarded ministers and juniors with celebratory envelopes. Inside were imperial colored coins, which were for good luck.
"Come on, one for each person. You are one year older. May you be safe and prosperous!" Miao Yun presented two red envelopes, one for each person.
The two girls took it and put it in their arms like a treasure, "Thank you, Brother Prince!"
"Let's go to Grandpa Huang's place!" Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and pulled one at the same time.
But before anyone could leave, they heard a commotion outside.
"Little ancestors, several little ancestors, Your Highness the Grand Sun haven't gotten up yet?"
"Who is it?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Pu Wuyong hurriedly went to see and then came back, "Your Highness, some of the vassal kings!"
No need to guess, it must be King Shen, King Tang, King Ying, King Yi and the others. Sure enough, a few noisy boys wearing new clothes came in smiling and holding the youngest Zhu Nan.
"See Your Highness Taisun!" Several people knelt down and saluted.
"Red... red envelope!" Zhu Nan had just lost a tooth, and her words were leaking, which was particularly cute.
"All of them, all of them!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Dong Gong has already prepared red envelopes for these little uncle Wang and his sister. They are not just ordinary red envelopes filled with gold and silver coins, but in addition to the red envelopes, each person also has a red purse. In the purse, there is Gaoli The tribute was a dong bead nearly as big as an egg.
"It's mine, don't grab it!"
As soon as the red envelope was given out, several children immediately rushed into a group.
Children are always the catalyst for happiness. Looking at the noisy young princes, Zhu Yunxi suddenly had a prank in his heart.
"Uncle Wang, I have given you the red envelope as the crown prince. Where are your red envelopes as uncle Wang?"
After the words fell, several children stared with big eyes.
The king of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Huang, clutched the beads in his hands tightly, widened his eyes and asked, "You... don't want to go back, do you?"
"We don't have anything valuable with us!" Yi Wang Zhu Yi (yi) hid behind King Shen and said nervously, "No big deal, no big deal, I'll collect red envelopes from others and give them to you later!"
These people are all the youngest sons of the old man, and they have been lawless in the palace since they were young. In the original historical time and space, these people did a lot of bad things in the fief when they grew up, and they were angry and resentful.
But now they have grown up together with Zhu Yunxi. Although they are still a little naughty and mischievous, they are also good-natured.
"I...can I accept the red envelope from my uncle and give it to you?" Tang Wang Zhu Huang also said.
"It's Chinese New Year, you kill your uncle several times!" Zhu Yunxi touched his head and laughed.
"My mother-in-law said that my uncle's house doesn't have many good things, so she asked me not to..." Zhu Huang lowered his head.
Zhu Yunxi smiled evilly, "Uncle Twenty-Third, listen to me..."
Zhu Huan listened carefully, his eyes gleaming, and nodded. Then he immediately shared it with several other young princes. Everyone was very excited and wanted to implement it immediately.
As soon as the group of people left Jingren Hall, they saw Zhu Yunwen waiting there with his two younger brothers, wearing equally brand-new auspicious clothes.
"My lord, please see His Highness Taisun!"
"It's Chinese New Year, no need to be polite!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, helped them up, and gave them red envelopes with his own hands.
"Second brother!" When they arrived at Zhu Yunwen's place, Zhu Yunxi held the red envelope and said with a smile, "I have prepared it for you. As an elder brother, have you prepared it for me?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, but then his heart warmed up.
Zhu Yunxi's identity is that he is now a king, and he is a minister. As an elder brother, he can only accept, but cannot give. Although Zhu Yunxi's words are a joke, he is also deliberately trying to bring their brothers closer.
Outside the Fengtian Hall, there were many guards in Mang robes and palace officials in auspicious robes. The Chinese New Year is an extremely important ceremony for the palace.
The old man's palace was already full of people. The concubines from the harem were dressed up and came one by one to pay New Year's greetings to the old man.
As soon as I entered the palace gate, the golden light on the heads of those warblers and swallows nearly blinded people.
"Haha, you are all here!" The old man, also dressed in new clothes, asked while sitting upright.
"My grandson wishes the emperor a happy New Year!" Zhu Yunxi started, and all the vassal kings knelt down and said in unison, "Grandpa, happy New Year!"
"It's all good, it's all good!"
The old man is not used to those formal vocabulary. A happy New Year to his children and grandchildren is the best New Year greeting.
"Everyone, get up!" the old man said with a smile, "After the New Year, you are one year older, ah! In a few years, we will all be young men! Today is thirty, there are no outsiders, there are not so many things to pay attention to, you all go to hell
Mother’s concubine’s place!”
After the old man finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi glanced at the young princes around him.
Ning'er, Xiu'er, these little princes threw their calves and rushed in front of the old man, kneeling and knocking.
"grandfather!"
"Father, red envelope!"
"Hahaha!" Looking at the pairs of small hands in front of him, the old man clapped his hands and laughed, "You have to pay the devil!" He said, waving his hand, "Pu Bucheng!"
A tray of red envelopes was brought up.
"Yours! Yours!"
The old man smiled and distributed them to the children one by one with his own hands.
After finishing the round, the old man straightened up and said, "Grandson, come and get yours!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and went over and took a large red envelope from the old man's hand.
When he opened it, he found that in addition to several beautifully crafted gold coins, there was also a yellowed amulet.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
The old man looked at him and smiled lovingly, "This is the peace talisman that your grandmother enshrined in front of the Buddha. It was offered to you for almost sixteen years!" As he said, the old man sighed slightly and said, "Now
, when it is handed over to you, you will be safe and healthy after wearing it!"
Instantly, something seemed to well up in Zhu Yunxi's heart, "Grandpa!"
