Chapter 2409 This Family

The Spring Festival in the royal family is actually meaningless.

Hu Shanxiang felt that the Spring Festival was just a formality, but as the queen, she had a lot more things to do, whether it was rewarding the palace or rewarding the ladies outside, the queen's things were always endless.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the palace's affairs were almost quiet, and most people began to work normally, so Hu Shanxiang basically started to take a holiday.

But Sun was different. She had no work, just took two children with her.

She naturally didn't want to leave the palace, because once she was discovered, even if she was dissatisfied with Hu Shanxiang, those ministers would drown Zhu Zhanji with memorials, and there was only one reason, seducing the master.

On the contrary, Hu Shanxiang could take her children out of the palace with Zhu Zhanji. Even if the ministers knew about it, at most they would say that she was a white dragon fish costume, and they would never dare to accuse Hu Shanxiang of seducing the master.

"Mother, mother."

Among Sun's two children, Yu Ge Zhu Qizhen was still a baby, while the eldest daughter Mingyue was lively and cute.

Amidst the sound of stumbling footsteps, a girl of four or five years old appeared outside the door.

She was wearing a bright red cotton jacket with embroidered silk on the outside, which looked particularly beautiful.

But beautiful clothes have a disadvantage, that is, they are easy to break.

Mingyue probably played outside for a while, and the silk cover on the outside of the cotton jacket was hung with protruding silk threads everywhere.

Sun was wearing an ordinary cotton jacket. She was doing needlework. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw her daughter outside the door rushing in panting and sweating profusely. She said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Come here."

A nanny went to get a towel, and Sun took it and squatted down to wipe her daughter's sweat.

Mingyue's face was red and her forehead was full of sweat.

She reached out and grabbed Sun's hair and said, "Mother, where is my brother? I'll play with him."

Sun looked up, frowned, hid the smile in the corner of her mouth, and said angrily, "Don't you remember mother?"

Mingyue rushed over, and Sun withdrew her hand in time. Mingyue fell on her shoulder, hugged her neck, and said softly, "Mother, it's fun outside."

Sun hummed, and didn't mind being stained by her sweat on her neck, and said, "You didn't eat much for dinner, are you hungry?"

Mingyue nodded, then stood up, yawned and said, "Mother, I want some snacks, with meat."

Sun laughed, then stood up and ordered, "Go get some yam cakes, and tell them not to put sugar in them, so as not to hurt your teeth."

Mingyue pulled Sun's clothes unwillingly and shouted, "Mother, mother, I want sugar, and put more."

Mingyue has thick black hair. Even though she is still very young, you can tell from her delicate features that she should be a beauty when she grows up.

Sun smiled but was unmoved.

Later, after eating the yam cake, Sun coaxed Mingyue to sleep.

The little song was gentle and slowly lingered in the palace.

Sun looked at Mingyue, who was smiling but frowning slightly, and fell asleep. She stretched out her delicate fingers to smooth her brows. She stood up and turned around, and was startled.

"Your Majesty!"

Behind her was Zhu Zhanji, who had been standing for an unknown period of time.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Mingyue, and then whispered: "Where is Brother Yu?"

Sun walked out slowly with him and said: "Brother Yu has fallen asleep a long time ago. The child made a fuss at night, and then ate the sweet cake and fell asleep contentedly."

Zhu Zhanji asked: "But is he feeling unwell? Did you call the imperial doctor?"

Sun covered her mouth and smiled: "No, Brother Yu still refused to sleep and grabbed my hair. It hurt. When he fell asleep, I cut off that strand of hair and got away."

Cut it off, instead of prying the child's hand open to rescue the hair.

It was just a casual remark, but it was a kind mother's heart.

The two went to see the sleeping Yu Ge together, and then fell asleep together.

...

The next day, Zhu Zhanji, Sun, and the two children had breakfast together. Zhu Zhanji even played with the two children for a while,

until Yu Jia's smiling face appeared outside the door.

"Your Majesty!"

Outside the opened curtain, Yu Jia's face seemed festive, but with some sadness.

"Father!"

Mingyue pulled Zhu Zhanji's hand and begged, "Father, go out and play."

Sun frowned and said, "Yue'er!"

Mingyue let go of her hand and pouted, "I was wrong."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and handed Yu Ge in his arms to Sun, then leaned over and touched Mingyue's head, saying, "Father, come over later, and we'll have lunch together."

Mingyue was happy when she heard it, "Okay! Father, they will bring a lot of delicious food."

In the palace, except for the empress dowager, the emperor had the highest share. However, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the royal family did not advocate luxury, and a few dishes or more than ten dishes were the most they could eat.

However, starting from Emperor Ren, the taste of the imperial meals became better and better. It is said that some people were worried that their jobs would be taken away by others.

Zhu Zhanji walked out, turned around and lowered the curtain. At the last moment when the curtain fell, he smiled at the mother and her two children inside.

Turning back, Zhu Zhanji still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

"What's the matter?"

Yu Jia whispered: "Your Majesty, yesterday, Xinghe Bo went to Taining Marquis's Mansion and fought."

Zhu Zhanji smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves pulled by Mingyue, and said lightly: "Explain clearly."

"Your Majesty, the people of the East Factory have found out that it was originally a painter hired by Taining Marquis's Mansion..."

"... I only know that there is a young man involved, but I can't find him. It is said that someone is covering for him."

Yu Jia felt that this matter was really out of this world, too bold.

The conflict between Fang Xing and Chen Zhong was nothing, but who was that young man? Who was covering for him?

This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor, and he dared to do these things, looking for death!

He thought that Fang Xing was most likely playing tricks.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing when he thought about the potatoes approaching the girl awkwardly. He strode forward and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. In addition...is there any memorial?"

Yu Jia listened to the report on this matter from the East Factory early in the morning, so he didn't pay attention to this. He hurriedly asked someone to check it out after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, there is a memorial from Xinghebo."

Zhu Zhanji took the memorial and looked at it, his mouth slightly raised, and he laughed after reading it, feeling very relaxed.

"Am I old?"

After returning to the warm room, Zhu Zhanji found a mirror and looked at his face, carefully looking at the corners of his eyes and forehead, and then frowned like a child, but the wrinkles were only a little bit, and disappeared as soon as he relaxed.

"Am I not old?"

Zhu Zhanji looking at himself in the mirror was scary enough, and asking this question again made Yu Jia almost want to run away.

He forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are vigorous..."

He didn't dare to say "Long live forever", such nonsense could only coax those mentally retarded emperors, but not the one in front of him.

He was wondering what the emperor was thinking, why he looked in the mirror for no reason, and lamented that he was old.

Zhu Zhanji put down the mirror and suddenly smiled: "I find it funny when I think of potatoes, but besides being funny, I can't help but feel that the young boy back then now knows Mu Shaoai."

Yu Jia then knew where Zhu Zhanji's emotion came from. He thought for a while and smiled: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of Xinghe Bo's family has always been steady. Last time, he was beaten up by His Royal Highness Han Wang in Qinlou. I didn't expect that not long after, he would... Hey!"

Talking about love between men and women with eunuchs is disgusting. If it weren't for the emperor in front of him, Yu Jia would really fight him to the death.

Zhu Zhanji naturally didn't care about these. He chuckled and said: "It's just young curiosity. Xinghe Bo will probably have a headache."

He gradually stopped smiling and said: "Why haven't Yumi and Duanduan come yet? Go and see."

Yu Jia agreed. After he went out, Zhu Zhanji murmured to himself: "When will my son grow up?"

But Yu Jia went all the way to Kunning Palace and met Duanduan and Yumi halfway.

"Brother, hurry up, or father will be angry."

There are few trees in the palace. Except for the imperial garden, large plants are basically invisible.

This is a measure to prevent assassins from hiding behind large flowers and trees. However, it has been a little better in recent years. At least a lot of small trees and flowers have been planted.
