Unconsciously, the shallow snow in the capital melted and piled up again inside and outside the city.
Inside and outside the capital, the atmosphere of the New Year is gradually getting more and more lively.
The Forbidden City, which had always been a bit dull, became extra joyful because of the birth of a little life.
Kunning Palace was filled with the warmth of spring. Zhao Ning'er was leaning on the bedside, holding a bowl of chicken soup, smiling at Zhu Yunxi who was standing by the cradle shaking the child, her eyes full of happiness.
"Hey! Daddy... call me daddy!"
Zhu Yunxi carefully grasped the six-pound fleshy finger, looking silly and happy like a silly boy.
What is it like to be a father?
Anyway, she's pretty damn beautiful and happy.
The little man in front of him has a wrinkled face, a large forehead, and a flat nose, but he is pink and adorable. Zhu Yunxi can't get enough of the blood-related nature in his bones.
"Ah ah!"
The six-pound baby still didn't recognize anyone, its limbs kept kicking in the cradle, and it made sweet sounds from its mouth.
"Call me daddy!" Zhu Yunxi shook his little hand and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, Liu Jin still doesn't recognize anyone!" Zhao Ning'er laughed.
Zhu Yunxi also gave his wife a silly smile, looked at Liu Jin again, and said deliberately, "Boy, I am your father, do you know me?"
"Haha!" Zhao Ning'er almost rolled with laughter, "Your Highness, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are!"
"Haha! I just think it's fun!"
Zhu Yunxi shook his six-pound finger again, "Ugly son, so ugly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang!
There was a huge pain in the back of his head. Zhu Yunxi shrank his neck, and when he looked back, it was the old man.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi rubbed the back of his head, "Why do you always walk silently?"
The old man glared and said angrily, "Who are you calling ugly?" As he said that, he slapped Zhu Yunxi's hand that was holding Liujin away, and looked at Liujin again, "How handsome is our great-grandson? The nose is the nose, and the eyes are
How ugly are the eyes? They are much better than when you were first born, and you couldn’t even see them at that time!”
As he said that, he ignored Zhu Yunxi and turned to Liu Jin with a smile on his face, "Liu Jin, we are your ancestors, haha! Haha!"
The old man had a beautiful smile and his beard was curled up.
"Yes, I have fallen out of favor!"
Zhu Yunxi cursed in his heart.
At this time, the old man's big hands carefully held the six-pound soft fingers, "Oh, why is our great-grandson so cute? I can't get enough of it!"
They are very close to each other, and most elderly people in the world are like this. Not only are they close, but they also love each other. In their eyes, the children are always good. Looking at the old man's rare appearance of six pounds, Zhu Yunxi had no reason to think of his grandfather in his previous life.
If he dares to touch even a finger of his, his grandfather can chase him for two miles with a rolling pin!
At this time, Zhao Ning'er got up with the help of two nuns and saluted, "Grandpa Huang, you always sit and watch!"
"It's great for us to have a stand-up!" The old man smiled with his eyebrows arched, and said to Zhao Ning'er, "There's no need to get up, you are weak now, so stay still!"
It is said that the rules in the palace are very strict, and even the old man has no reason to come to the palace of his grandson-in-law at will. However, the founding of the Ming Dynasty was only thirty years ago, and the old man was born in a poor family, and he never paid attention to these so-called etiquette that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Besides, who dares to care where he wants to go?
"You are the hero of our Zhu family. Take good care of yourself and give us some direct grandchildren in the future!" the old man said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi smiled beside him and said nothing.
But his smile caught the old man's attention.
"What are you still doing here?" The old man glared and said, "You don't need to read the book or pay attention to the government affairs?"
"My grandson... my grandson also misses the child and wants to come and see it!" Zhu Yunxi laughed sarcastically, "Besides, my grandson only sees small things every day, and big things have to be judged by the emperor.
!”
"Ah, you really know how to pick things easy!" The old man frowned and said, "You take care of the small things, but leave the big things to us? You are asked to act in the government, and you divide the big and small! We have worked hard all our lives, and when we get old, we will still let you do it.
Are we worried?"
Hey, the old man is being unreasonable! Who are you talking to?
"Grandpa Huang taught you a lesson! It was your grandson who made a mistake!" Zhu Yunxi could only laugh.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jin in the cradle suddenly grinned and burst into tears.
"You run away, what are you doing here? You scared our great-grandson to tears!" The old man frowned again.
Zhu Yunxi is really......
Look at the old man, and then look at the six pounds.
"How can he rely on me when he cries?"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Taisun, King Wu may be hungry!"
On the side, Zhao Ning'er's face turned red, and an older nanny saluted and said.
"Feed the child quickly, don't let it go hungry!"
The old man suddenly realized it, took a reluctant look, and turned around to go out.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was still inside, he couldn't help but get angry, "What are you doing with your child in there? I haven't heard of feeding the child?"
"I..." Zhu Yunxi said, "I don't have to avoid suspicion..." After saying that, he met the old man's sharp eyes and hurried out of the house.
Follow the old man.
The two of them walked to the outer hall and happened to see Mei Liangliang and Mrs. Zhao entering the gate of Kunning Palace with Zhao Sili, the Marquis of Cheng'en.
As they walked, Mrs. Zhao scolded her, "Come into the palace empty-handed? You are really good at it!"
"Stop nagging, I've been scratching my head these days, just looking forward to seeing my daughter and children..." As he said that, he took a casual look and quickly knelt down.
"My lord, I would like to pay homage to Your Majesty. I would like to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson!"
"Here we come!" The old man stood on the threshold and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the head of the concubine is waiting for me at home every day... I and my girlfriend... asked the Taisun Empress for a favor and let him in.
Take a look!" Zhao made an exception these days and stayed in the palace under orders. After meeting the old man several times, she boldly said, "Don't blame me!"
"What's the big deal!" The old man said with a smile, "It's human nature for you to meet each other. Now that the children are young, it's okay to meet them. When the children grow up and there are more rules, you won't be able to meet them easily!"
Now that the child is still young, there is no need to follow too many rules. When the child grows up in the future, there will be a distinction between the king of Wu and his superiors. Even the Zhao family cannot see each other as soon as they meet.
"I understand!" Zhao Sili's calves cramped when he saw the old man, and he replied tremblingly.
"You just came outside and are feeling cold. Please warm yourself up inside for a while before going to see it!" the old man said again.
Zhao and his wife naturally kowtowed and agreed.
Zhu Yunxi smiled in his heart and said, "Oh, the old man really seems to be declaring his sovereignty!"
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao bowed and entered the palace through the side door.
Seeing that the old man's cotton robe was worn with frayed edges at the skirt, Mrs. Zhao boldly said, "Your Majesty, your clothes are frayed!" After saying that, he paused and said, "If you don't mind it,
My concubine’s stitches are ready, and I will sew a robe for you in a few days, so that my family can show their filial piety!”
"That's great!" The old man said with a grin, "We have had children for decades, and we have yet to wear clothes made by my parents-in-law!"
"I, my concubine, are also your juniors. It is my family's blessing to be filial to you, and it is even more appropriate..." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.
"This mother-in-law is also very considerate!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"They finally came into the palace, talk to them!" The old man was obviously in a good mood and said to Zhu Yunxi, "We'll finish talking here in a while, go to our side, let's go first!"
"My grandson sends you to the Emperor!"
Zhu Yunxi bowed and saluted, the Zhao family knelt down to see each other off, and the old man gradually moved away.
"Get down, it's warm next to you!" Zhu Yunxi said to the two of them after the old man left.
Then Zhu Yunxi went in front and the two of them entered the warm side hall.
Zhu Yunxi naturally sat on the main seat, and the Zhao couple carefully touched half of their buttocks on the round stool.
Seeing their cautious looks, Zhu Yunxi wanted to say something about his family, but he didn't know what to say.
"How is your family?" Zhu Yunxi asked casually while drinking hot tea.
"Everything is fine!" Zhao Sili stood up, "Thanks to Your Highness Hongfu, everything is fine!"
"You don't have to be so restrained when talking in private!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Yes! Yes!" Zhao Sili and Mrs. Zhao smiled again, nodded and sat down again.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi was in trouble. What should he say to his father-in-law and mother-in-law?
"Um... I heard that!" Zhu Yunxi put down the tea bowl, "You are out here taking a concubine?" After saying that, he regretted a little and didn't know why he asked such a question out of nowhere.
.
In fact, the Zhao family's affairs had already been brought up by the royal guards. Zhu Yunxi regarded such trivial matters as amusement and did not take it seriously at all.
Men, if you can control your crotch after you become rich, then you will be a fucking saint!
No one should think of themselves as so noble. Let alone those whose families are miserable, even if their families are blessed with immortals, wouldn’t they be like immortals?
Plop, the Zhao couple over there knelt down directly.
"I am guilty!" Zhao Sili kowtowed.
"Your Highness, you don't blame our head." Mrs. Zhao stood in front of Zhao Sili, "He... our family has too few men, and my concubine is old. There are three unfilial piety, not having an offspring, so
The concubine asked him to take in a concubine with an innocent family background to continue the family lineage of the Zhao family!"
"I don't mean to blame you!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Get up quickly, sit down and talk!"
Naturally, there were eunuchs on the side, helping the frightened two people up.
"It's not a big deal, I just said it casually!" Zhu Yunxi said with relief, "But after all, you are a family of foreign relatives, how many eyes are watching you! Since you have a concubine, it is unsightly to marry him back home and keep him in another house.
, I’m sure someone is gossiping! If it reaches Ning’er’s ears, it will be difficult for her to do it!”
"We have already taken him back!" Mrs. Zhao said quickly. "It was not because I was not tolerated by my concubines, nor because our heads of households did not take responsibility. It was... that the family was preparing a place to live in.
.New people have to tidy up when they come in!”
"Uh-huh!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded casually, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.
It seems inappropriate for an uncle to talk about his father-in-law taking concubines.
There was nothing to say when he sat down again, so he stood up and said, "You guys sit down, go over there and have a look when your body is warm, and leave alone!"
