Throughout the four years of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen worked hard, and too many major events happened in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was internal affairs, diplomacy and military, they were all developing in the direction of a modern country, which made Zhu Youzhen get a little comfort.

Although busy, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Youjian still gave himself a holiday, and he wanted to spend a reunion year with his empress and concubine in Kunning Palace.

On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Yufeng invited Wan'er, Hu Xinxue, and Wang Meiyu to Kunning Palace early, and Zhu Youjian was the last to come to Kunning Palace until the sky saw black light.

The four female birds chirped like birds, sitting around Zhu Youzhen, they were used to having dinner with Zhu Youzhen, and they also enjoyed this rare moment of reunion.

But Zhu Youzhen is lonely, and there are groups of wives and concubines, but on this day of national reunion, he can't see his mother, maybe never again.

Not to mention hundreds of years of later generations, even in this Nuoda palace, he has no relatives, his biological father and mother have long been separated from heaven and man, and even his adoptive mother is long gone, since he came to Daming, he has never seen any of these people closest to him.

"Zhu Youzhen" originally had seven brothers, but five of them died before they reached adulthood, only he and his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao were able to reach adulthood, but Zhu Youxiao also died young, and now only the lonely Zhu Youzhen remains.

Zhu Youzhen has long been accustomed to loneliness, and he has learned to lie on the bed alone, silently chewing on his own time and space.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the lights of thousands of homes outside and the continuous sound of firecrackers still make Zhu Youjian a little lost.

"Your Majesty, is there anything important that has not ended? It's Chinese New Year's Eve! Zhou Yufeng found Zhu Youzhen's depression from Zhu Youzhen's slightly frowning brows, and she rarely threw a flattering look at Zhu Youzhen, neither like a fox, but also lost her usual dignity, which looked a little nondescript.

"Ao, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and I'm here to reunite with you." Zhu Youjian smiled a little self-deprecatingly, yes, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone should be happy, happy, think about these troubles that can no longer be changed, what to do? It's better to drink some wine with your wife and concubine and talk about homely things.

"Your Majesty, the concubine respects Your Majesty with a cup, and I wish Your Majesty good health and longevity." Originally, this first glass of wine should have been paid tribute to Zhou Yufeng, but Zhou Yufeng was pregnant and couldn't drink, so Wan'er had to do it for her.

"Shou and Tianqi? Haha, Wan'er, then you sisters, you have to accompany me. Zhu Youzhen was amused by Wan'er, he raised his neck and toasted Wan'er.

Zhou Yufeng glanced at Hu Xinxue, Hu Xinxue picked up the white and red jade cup in front of her, and blessed Zhu Youzhen, "The concubine wishes Your Majesty an early birth of a noble son, and a full house of children and grandchildren." ”

"Hahaha......"

All the women laughed together, especially Wan'er, who laughed crookedly.

Do you have a baby or do you have a baby? Zhu Youzhen finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "The children and grandchildren have to look at you, do you want to give birth to a baby?" After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yufeng's lower abdomen, and just Hu Xinxue.

When it was Wang Meiyu's turn, she stood up first, stepped back a little from her seat, and gave Zhu Youzhen a Mongolian twisting butt dance, and then toasted Zhu Youzhen with relish: "The concubine wishes Your Majesty a new year and a new atmosphere, a hundred officials will congratulate you, and all countries will come to court." ”

"Haha, Yu'er can still speak, all officials congratulate together, all countries are coming, Daming will become the co-master of Asia sooner or later, come, Yu'er, drink." Zhu Youzhen was dry again.

After drinking three cups in a row, Zhu Youzhen was just about to rest for a while, but Zhou Yufeng raised her small jade cup: "Your Majesty, concubine...... It is not advisable to drink alcohol, so use this tea to wish His Majesty to become the co-lord of Asia as soon as possible, wish the Ming Dynasty smooth wind and rain, and wish all the people of the world can have enough food and clothing. ”

"Feng'er is worthy of being the mother of the country, and she will think about the people of the world, rare, rare, I have to drink this glass of wine." Zhu Youzhen just raised his glass, and suddenly remembered something, "Recently, I haven't seen the article of 'Yu Wanxin' in "Ming Pao"? During this time of the Ming Dynasty, there are many big things! ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines also want to write some articles, but in this Spain, as well as the Kingdom of Sulu, the concubines and so on are really not very good, so they don't dare to write." Wan'er snatched the conversation over.

"Oh, I thought that Feng'er was inconvenient, so a few of you would be lazy." Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wan'er lightly, and toasted the wine in the glass with Zhou Yufeng.

"Your Majesty, how dare the concubines be lazy, it's not that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting wider and wider, and the concubines and others encounter more and more countries and government affairs that they don't understand, and they can't find them when they consult the classics, I don't know which classics Your Majesty found this knowledge in?" Wan'er is really not idle, but she is really not good at assessing the recent government affairs.

"Ao, these, may be in the classics, or they may be taught by the teachers, they are all in Shu's mind, and I really can't find the source for a while," Zhu Youjian haha, "Let's talk about these later, or Xue'er said it well, you have to give more princes and princesses to Shu, can't always spend Chinese New Year's Eve with a few of us." ”

Wan'er, Hu Xinxue, and Wang Meiyu were speechless for a while, and even Zhou Yufeng was silent, I don't know if she was shy, reserved, or afraid of stimulating the three concubines who were not pregnant.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized that although he had no parents and brothers, he already had a child, although the child was temporarily in Zhou Yufeng's belly, and he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, after all, it was a living life, his own flesh and blood.

While Zhu Youzhen was drinking and joking, his eyes kept glancing at Zhou Yufeng's chest.

"Your Majesty...... ......" Zhou Yufeng was shy, dragged out her tone, and sneered at Zhu Youzhen, but her heart was warm, she was the queen, and Zhu Youzhen's first child in her belly, if she gave birth to a boy, it would be difficult to be a prince or not, when Zhu Youzhen kept peeking at the child, why didn't she want the child to be born as soon as possible?

"Can't you look at it? You are all my women, what are you afraid of? Besides, I just looked at it, and I didn't touch it," Zhu Youzhen grimaced, and his eyes turned to Wan'er, "Wan'er, I will have a drink with you, during this time, the queen's body is heavy, and you will have to take care of the affairs in the palace, it will be hard." ”

"Sister Queen is very well arranged, and the concubines are not hard." Wan'er was slightly moved, she poured the wine in the cup in one gulp, and lowered her head again, her heart seemed to be unhappy.

Zhu Youzhen found the change in Wan'er's mood, and it was estimated that he was fixing Zhou Yufeng's belly and stimulating her, so he stretched out his big hand, gently held Wan'er's hands, stroked them on the tender and boneless little hands, and quietly took off his boots, and secretly squeezed them gently on Wan'er's golden lotus.

Wan'er felt the changes in her hands and feet, she coughed lightly, and her head was almost lowered under the dining table, only then did she see that it was Zhu Youzhen who was doing the trick, and she didn't realize that her face turned red, and a peach blossom quickly spread out on her face.

She was worried that Zhou Yufeng and the others would see it, and thought that she was seducing Zhu Youzhen, so she couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, so she had to withdraw her little hand from Zhu Youzhen's hand, and shrink the surface of her feet, but she couldn't shrink, and she didn't dare to use force, so she had to let Zhu Youzhen do nothing.

Zhu Youzhen took the time to accompany Hu Xinxue and Wang Meiyu to drink some warm water and wine, they didn't have Wan'er's thoughts, Zhu Youzhen reviewed the chapters, handled government affairs, and planned the development of the Ming Dynasty, it was good to have time to drink wine with them, and they rarely enjoyed such a warm time.

Zhou Yufeng has been pregnant for several months, because she has to accompany Zhu Youzhen to eat, she has been sitting for a long time, she pinched her waist with her little hands from time to time, I don't know if it is fatigue, or remind herself to straighten up and not to press the fetus in her womb.

"Feng'er is inconvenient, let's finish dinner quickly!" Zhu Youzhen dried the glass of wine, and asked the eunuchs and palace maids to prepare the main food.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, how can the concubines be so noble? Besides, the child is still young and out of the way. Zhou Yufeng was a little reluctant, Zhu Youzhen was usually busy except for staying in the harem, and it was difficult to even see each other during the day, let alone drink and gossip with their sisters like this.

"Feng'er, we have dinner first, and then I will walk with you, don't sit all the time, it's not good for yourself and the child." Zhu Youzhen is like an eighth woman.

Hearing that Zhu Youzhen accompanied their sisters, Zhou Yufeng nodded and asked the palace women to serve some staple food, tonight's staple food, according to Zhu Youzhen's meaning, is the same as ordinary people, it is also dumplings.

Eating dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve is a tradition of northerners, symbolizing the reunion of the whole family like dumplings, and the gold and silver ingots like dumplings are continuous, but Zhu Youjian wishes the four daughters to be as white and beautiful as dumplings, the convex place is convex, and the concave place is concave, causing the women to laugh and scold again.

After dinner, Wan'er did not feel sleepy at all, she remembered the Chinese New Year's Eve spent with Zhu Youjian in Yansui, "Your Majesty rarely accompanies our sisters, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, Your Majesty will accompany our sisters to set off firecrackers!" ”

"Flowers? Okay, I'll go too. Wang Meiyu clapped her little hands to welcome, she is a Mongolian, she rarely sees a flower blooming, she can bloom a rose-like flower in a dark night, she has long heard Hu Xinxue say.

"Okay, Feng'er and Xue'er will come together!" Zhu Youzhen is a person who attaches great importance to the family atmosphere, Wan'er and Wang Meiyu are coquettish to him, and he has no reason not to follow.

Wan'er quickly fetched the fireworks, and it seemed that she had already prepared them.

Zhu Youzhen held Zhou Yufeng with one hand, she was pregnant, and when she wanted to hold her waist with the other hand, she refused, and the five of them slowly walked out of the palace gate, ready to go to the palace gate to have a lively time.

On weekdays, the palace gate is locked as early as dark, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor wants to rejoice with the people, the palace gate will not be closed until the child, and the palace walls are red lanterns lit with candles, illuminating the low sky of the imperial city as if it were day.

"Wan'er, I'm watching from the side, come on!"

"The concubine doesn't dare, it's better for Your Majesty to order!" Wan'er is like a child, she likes the beauty of the ceremonial flowers when they bloom, but she is also afraid of the loud noise when the ceremonial flowers explode, she has to hand the ceremonial flowers to Zhu Youzhen with great anticipation, who made Zhu Youzhen the only man in the palace?

Zhu Youzhen chuckled and glanced at Wan'er, Wan'er's face looked like a fully mature red Fuji against the backdrop of the palace lamp, she bravely did not withdraw her gaze, and her big eyes seemed to tell Zhu Youzhen, you are a man, you should put flowers for me and make me happy.
