In this era, the manufacturing technology of fireworks was not well developed, and setting off fireworks was considered a luxury.

Chang Runzhi was used to seeing all kinds of modern fireworks and was not too interested in ancient fireworks, so he didn't connect fireworks with celebrating the emperor's birthday at all.

Liu Tong said helplessly: "You are too confused, don't you have to prepare a birthday gift every year?" You don't even know that. ”

"That's the old lady and the lady, and it's not my turn to speak." Chang Runzhi muttered two sentences and asked Liu Tong: "The birthday ceremony is ready these days, but when I enter the palace late in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, do I need to pay attention to anything?" ”

"It's nothing, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is a day for family reunions, although the rules in the palace are heavy, but on this day, it is still necessary to focus on harmony." Liu Tong said: "If I am not next to you on that day, you can just follow the fifth sister-in-law." ”

Chang Runzhi naturally responded, and said a little embarrassed: "The last time I went to the palace to thank you, I seemed to be very angry with the saint?" ”

Liu Tong remembered that Emperor Yuanwu was choked by Chang Runyi's words "The husband is unwilling to take a concubine, and the courtiers and daughters-in-law should obey" and had nothing to say, and couldn't help laughing.

"Didn't he punish us later? There are a lot of things left in my father's heart, so I won't be so stingy with you. Liu Tong comforted Chang Run: "What's more, when the time comes, the princes, grandsons, and the Liu clan will gather in the palace, and the father and emperor will not have time to talk to them, so naturally they will not stare at you, the daughter-in-law." ”

Chang Runzhi smiled, slightly relieved in his heart.

In fact, from her heart, she was a little afraid and secretly hated Emperor Yuanwu. Fear his imperial might, and secretly hate his partiality and stubbornness.

If it weren't for him to shield the prince in every way, why would Liu Tong not dare to say a word on such a lifelong event, and could only be aggrieved and humiliated?

In the final analysis, isn't it the fault of Emperor Yuanwu, the man who is a father and an emperor?

The last time I was angry with him, I thought about it after Chang Run's incident, and I felt quite cool.

"What do you think? It's all fun. Liu Tong saw the corners of Chang Runzhi's mouth raised, and couldn't help asking.

Chang Runzhi blinked and said to Liu Tong: "I remembered that day when I entered the palace, the saint was speechless and could only rely on the appearance of the concubine Niangniang to go down the steps, and suddenly felt that I was quite bold." ”

Liu Tong shook his head and smiled helplessly: "It's a shame that my father is not a careful person, otherwise you will suffer." ”

Chang Runzhi snorted twice, and said to Liu Tong in a fake appearance: "On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I will honestly not say much after entering the palace, and promise that I will no longer be angry." ”

"You, do you really think you're good?" Liu Tong pinched her nose lightly, Chang Runzhi didn't dodge, chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it still what you're used to?" ”

Liu Tong's heart warmed, and his tone became softer: "Then I am willing to get used to you for the rest of my life......"

"What if you get used to it?"

"Hmm...... Then I have to ask the fifth brother to see if I can fix it with tools. ”

Chang Runzhi's monster screamed and pounced on Liu Tong.

The greasy and crooked days of the little couple passed in the blink of an eye, and they arrived on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month in a flash.

King Rui failed to arrive in Beijing on the 28th of the lunar month, and it has been three days since he last received a letter from King Rui.

King Rui had a letter every two days, and he couldn't move it, but when he returned to Beijing, he cut off contact with Liu Tong.

On the twenty-eighth night of the lunar month, someone from the Ruiwang Mansion said that since the Ruiwang did not arrive at the mansion, Liu Tong began to be anxious.

Thinking that it was not in time for the time before the city gate closed yesterday, early in the morning, Liu Tong went to the Ruiwang Mansion.

Chang Runzhi also followed, and Princess Rui Chang Muzhi also had some six gods and no masters at this time.

"The prince has sent a letter and said that he will arrive on the twenty-eighth." Chang Muzhi hugged his youngest son, sat on the chair and frowned: "The prince has always kept his promises, but he didn't arrive at the house yesterday, so it must have been delayed by a sudden situation on the road." ”

Chang Runzhi comforted: "Eldest sister might as well wait, fortunately, she is only thirty tomorrow, and she will be able to arrive today and tomorrow." ”

Chang Muzhi's brows furrowed even tighter: "If it's just that the carriage is broken, or if you encounter a situation like a strict checkpoint, it's okay, if you come back late, you will come back later, it's nothing." I'm afraid of ......."

Chang Muzhi didn't dare to say what he guessed, for fear that it would come true if he said it.

Liu Tong paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and after walking for a long time, he still couldn't help it, and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, I'll go to the city gate and ask." The fifth brother must have rushed back from Yanzhou, if there is no news from the city gate, I will go to Yanzhou to take a look. ”

"What are you going to do?" Although Chang Muzhi is worried about King Rui, he also understands proportions: "It's the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and you will enter the palace tomorrow. Stay honest, I've already sent people to wait at the gates. ”

Although Liu Tong knew that what Chang Muzhi said was right, he was more worried about King Rui than anything.

"Every year and Chinese New Year's Eve, so many people enter the palace, and they don't see anyone staring at me."

Liu Tong said a word, turned his head to Chang Runzhi: "I'll go to the city gate to have a look, and you can stay with the fifth sister-in-law to accompany her today." If I don't come back in the evening, you will follow the fifth sister-in-law into the palace tomorrow. ”

After explaining, Liu Tong strode away in a hurry, and Chang Muzhi didn't even pay attention to him when he shouted a few times.

Chang Muzhi scolded angrily: "This Xiao Jiu, who has become a parent, is still so impatient and unstable!" ”

Speaking of Chang Muzhi, he couldn't help but scold Chang Runzhi: "Why don't you stop him!" ”

Chang Runzhi smiled at Chang Muzhi, took the little nephew in her hand and held it in his arms, and said softly: "He is worried, the eldest sister will let him go, there is no danger left and right." Even if anyone stares at him and reports it to the emperor, he is also a brother, and if he cares about it, he will not reprimand him at this juncture. ”

"If he just went to the city gate to take a look, but if you listen to what he just said, if he didn't see his fifth brother at the city gate, wouldn't he have to go to Yanzhou? It's time to go out of Beijing! ”

Chang Runzhi knew in his heart that according to Liu Tong's temperament, he would definitely go to Yanzhou if he didn't see King Rui.

Pursing his lips, Chang Runzhi sighed silently, and asked Chang Muzhi: "If I stop him, what reason will I use?" ”

Chang Muzhi said without thinking: "Of course it's ......"

Before she could speak, she was stunned again.

Chang Runzhi smiled and said, "If he only cares about entering the palace tomorrow and puts aside the affairs of King Rui...... That's not what I know about him. ”

"But......" Chang Muzhi's eyes were slightly red.

Chang Runzhi said softly: "Eldest sister, don't worry, among so many brothers, the only one who Ah Tong loves and respects and trusts and relies on wholeheartedly is King Rui." If you can't see King Rui's peace, Ah Tong won't let herself have anything to do. ”

Chang Muzhi couldn't help but look at Chang Runzhi: "You don't have any grievances at all?" ”

"Why should you hold a grudge?" Chang Runzhi shook his head: "What he thinks should be done and worth doing, as long as it doesn't touch my bottom line and principles, I just need to support him." (To be continued.) )
