Chapter 698: The Day of Companionship

Looking at his gift, the emperor's eyes lit up and he felt that it must be very special.

After opening it, I found that what he gave was a very valuable Buddha statue.

"Father, this Buddha statue has been opened and is priceless, so the retainers sent him to his father, hoping that his father will live a long life......" he said a lot of words of appreciation.

The emperor didn't like it, just said a few perfunctory words and asked the eunuch to take the gift.

Looking at the emperor's expression, Chu Yunhui was displeased, he thought that the emperor would like this gift, but he spent a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, his father still frowned coldly.

Chu Yunhui's gift made Chu Qiaosi next to him snicker in his heart, her father had gold, silver and jewelry, and such a Buddha statue was not precious to him at all.

"Father, the emperor, and the sons have also prepared gifts. The gifts of the son and sister were together, and it took us several days to prepare. Chu Qiaosi spoke first.

She glanced at Chu Qiaomin and Chu Qiaomeng, this gift was prepared by the three of them together.

The gifts they prepared were placed in a petite brocade box.

The emperor's eyes flashed a little, and he took the box in his hand. When I opened the brocade box, I found a pair of shoes lying inside.

"Although my father's shoes are not as good as those made by special craftsmen in the palace, they are the hearts of the three of us. I hope that when my father puts on his shoes, he can always remember our deep affection for his father......"

Chu Qiaomeng spoke first, and what she said made the emperor quite satisfied with these shoes.

Although he is the emperor, in addition to the identity of the emperor, he is also a father.

As a father, he does not want his children to spend much money on him, but rather values their sincerity.

Looking at the white cloth wrapped around the hands of the three people, how could the emperor not be moved.

"The emperor really has a heart, your gift is the most sincere, my father likes it very much, and in the future, my father will wear the shoes you made for my father every day. No matter where he goes, his father's heart is warm. The emperor took the wine in front of him and drank a glass gently.

After the three of them gave the gifts, the emperor who gave them the others didn't like it much. When they sent it to the end, Chu Xingze took out his things.

"Father, this is a gift from your son." Chu Xingze sent the bamboo dragonfly wrapped in the box to the emperor.

opened the gift, and everyone was directly stunned. Especially a concubine opposite, covered her mouth and laughed directly.

"These other princesses and princes are all valuables, or they are things with a heart, why did you send a bamboo dragonfly? Could it be that you want the emperor to have nothing to play with? The concubine was articulate, and first sarcastically mocked Chu Xingze.

An Lan and Chu Xingze didn't speak, and they didn't even look at this concubine, they just laughed coldly.

The emperor knew that Chu Xingze and An Lan would never be so rash, the two of them were very important children.

"Why don't you explain to your father, why did you send a bamboo dragonfly? What is the special significance of this bamboo dragonfly? The emperor squinted his eyes and looked like he was listening.

"Father, this bamboo dragonfly was made by an old woman. The old woman fled to the capital, and if it weren't for her father who sent someone to help her, she and her grandson would have died a long time ago. Now they can live and work in peace and contentment in the capital, which is all due to their father, so Chen's daughter-in-law and the prince bought her bamboo dragonfly and sent it to the emperor. ”

An Lan's later words were not explained.

A person as smart as the emperor must be able to understand why he sent this bamboo dragonfly.

Although this gift seems insignificant and of little value, it represents that the emperor's benevolent government can be implemented, and the people can get the necessary peace and contentment, which is a beautiful symbol.

"You are sending my father's favorite! In the future, if I have time, I must go to the people more to observe the people's feelings, and you princesses and princes will not only care about pleasure in the future, but must put the people first in everything. Born into a royal family, there is endless glory and wealth, and at the same time, the responsibility on his shoulders is not comparable to ordinary people......"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor reprimanded several princesses and princes.

Chu Qiaohui and the others on the opposite side looked extremely embarrassed, because the gifts they gave were only precious.

Looking at the ugly faces of the people opposite, Chu Qiaosi snickered below.

"Emperor, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's raise a glass as a family first." The queen took the initiative to speak, not wanting the stalemate to continue.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and their family should spend it happily and lively.

The emperor raised his glass, and the others followed suit, and they touched a glass of wine together, and then began the main topic of the day.

Here they toast and drink and talk about pleasant topics from time to time.

Because of the large number of people, it was extremely lively, and they did not sleep all night, and the New Year finally arrived at dawn. According to the usual practice, the emperor gave red envelopes to each prince and princess.

They stayed in the palace until the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and An Lan and Chu Xingze went back to the palace, and they got along happily in the palace in the next few days.

After the Lantern Festival, An Lan received a notice that he would officially go to the palace early tomorrow morning to accompany Chu Qiaomin.

That night, the family was busy preparing a change of clothes for An Lan.

Chu Xingze came in from outside, he was holding a very delicate hairpin in his hand, and he inserted it in An Lan's hair.

"Madam, you will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to accompany you, I don't know how long we will not be able to see each other." Thinking of this, Chu Xingze's heart became even more sad.

After experiencing the last incident, he seemed to be even more inseparable from An Lan, and just wanted to be with her every day.

An Lan was amused by Chu Xingze and hugged him gently.

"If the prince thinks of me, you can go to see me often, and no one will stop you from going over."

What's more, this matter is allowed by the emperor, what I am afraid of is that the two of them have been separated for too long and have an estranged relationship.

None of the other escorts are married, only one of them is married to Chu Xingze, and the emperor will not be so unkind.

Chu Xingze sighed and didn't say anything more. He wanted to tell Anlan that he wanted to see her once in a while, not with her once in a while.

"Madame will hold on to the palace for a few days, and I will take it back when I find a reason." What Chu Xingze said was not joking at all.

The palace is like an iron wall, and it is a great torment, and I don't want her to stay in the palace for too long.

An Lan knew Chu Xingze's thoughts, but he didn't want him to be too embarrassed. Besides, this is the emperor's order, and it is impossible to accompany him forever, at most for a year and a half.

The two of them had an extremely pleasant night, and An Lan got up early the next day, and Chu Xingze hadn't gotten up yet.
