Firecrackers crackled non-stop......

"My grandson has given the emperor's grandfather a New Year's greeting, and I wish the emperor's grandfather happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."

Zhu Houzhao is rare and serious, earnestly greeting the New Year, and kowtowing seriously......

It's just that this is unavoidable...... Satirize.

Zhu Jianshen was very happy and picked up a special big red envelope, "Oh, put it away." ”

"Grandpa Xie Huang." Zhu Houzhao took the red envelope, put it in his pocket and patted it, revealing a row of sparse little white teeth.

He got up and stood on the side of the imperial grandfather and explained to his father, "Imperial grandfather, my father will not be able to come until later. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter." Zhu Jianshen scratched his grandson's nose and said with relief, "Houzhao has grown up and is sensible." ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed a few times, pursed his lips, and was a little embarrassed.

Soon, King Xing, King Qi, King Yi and other vassal kings, as well as princesses, came one after another to pay New Year's greetings, say greetings, kowtow, and receive red envelopes......

Then, the women of the harem came, and Changle Palace was lively.

In the end, Zhu Youzhu came belatedly and brought a congratulatory message from hundreds of officials to his father and the emperor, and to the emperor's grandmother and the two queen mothers......

A good New Year's greeting.

Then, eat dumplings and talk about homely ......

Zhu Jianshen was very interested, raised his glass frequently, and kept his mouth open......

After the meal, he walked out of the hall and led a group of family members to hang out, laughing loudly......

The sky is beautiful, the warm sun shines on the earth, sprinkled on the glazed tiles, reflecting the palace more and more splendid, Zhu Jianshen is holding his eldest grandson, followed by his sons and daughters, his feet do not stop, and his mouth does not stop.

Li Qing and Zhu Wanqing fell far behind, their faces calm, incompatible with the loud laughter in front of them.

"Uncle Li......"

"It's been ten years since Hongji, it's time to be content." Li Qing said without a beginning or an end.

Zhu Wanqing was stunned, understood what Uncle Li meant, pursed her lips, and was silent, but she was a little cheerful.

…

Five-nine-sixty-nine look at the willows along the river.

In the early spring of this year, the willow trees sprouted early under the warm sun for several days, rippling with vitality.

Zhu Jianshen looked at this vibrant scene and thought that Daming would also be vibrant, and he had no regrets.

What should come will come after all, Zhu Jianshen's visible weakness came down, and he inevitably came to the last moment.

It's night,

He lay quietly on the couch, breathing very lightly, Changle Palace was full of people, the palace door had been locked, but the princes and princesses had declined, and so did the harem.

Li Qing applied the needle, and his true qi surged, but he still couldn't effectively contain his hourglass-like body......

Long

"Please, sir." Zhu Jianshen's lips squirmed, and his voice was extremely soft, but Li Qing heard it clearly.

He tightened his hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

"Hmm...."

Zhu Jianshen smiled tiredly, his smile was relaxed and relieved.

Li Qing sighed lightly and got up to make room.

The emperor, the crown prince, the Zhou family, the Ji family, squeezed up and gathered around the dragon bed, and then behind, the Wang family, the Zhang family, the Shao family, the Xing Wang, the Qi Wang, the Yi Wang......

They stared at him with sad faces.

"Zhu Youjiao."

"The son is here." Zhu Youzhu held his father's hand, and his voice trembled slightly, "Father, you said." ”

"It's been ten years, so it's time to be ready, right?"

"Uh-huh, ready, son-in-law ready." Zhu Youzhu said in a hoarse voice.

"That's good, that's good......" Zhu Jianshen chuckled, and then looked at Ji.

Ji Shi was already teary-eyed, she knew that he would go ahead of her, and she was ready, but when this day came, she knew that she was not prepared at all.

The first encounter changed her life.

She is wooden, she doesn't fight, but it doesn't mean she doesn't care.

She is not good at words, but she likes to listen to him, listen to him half-night, half-night, and say everything from the north to the south......

Those few nights were her happiest and happiest hours, and they were precious.

Although she knew that in his heart, she was not very important, but he was all she had.

Ji Shi opened his mouth, tears flowed before speaking, his lips closed for a long time, and finally he only said: "Husband, ......"

"Don't cry." Zhu Jianshen smiled, "Speaking of which, I'm sorry for you, in the first few years, you didn't suffer less." ”

"It's okay, it's okay......" Ji shook his head, tears in his eyes, and his eyes were full of sorrow.

Zhu Jianshen stared at her for a long time, tilted his head to look at the Shao family behind him, "Zhu Youzhang." ”

"The son is here."

"A hundred years later, Concubine Shao will be buried in the imperial mausoleum." Zhu Jianshen said lightly.

This is not in line with the ancestral system, however, this is a last word, but also an edict, which cannot be refused.

"The retainers obey."

"Emperor Taishang......" Shaw's shoulders shrugged violently, and he cried out.

Zhu Jianshen smiled, his smile was full of guilt.

Then, he looked at Zhou, "Queen Mother, the son is not filial." ”

"Don't say that, it's the queen mother who has added a burden to you, son, don't be afraid, relax." Zhou's old tears were rampant.

She is a woman and a mother after all, how can a white-haired person send a black-haired person, how can she not be sad?

"Well, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Zhu Jianshen raised his eyes with difficulty, looked at King Xing, King Qi, and looked at his children......

Finally, look at the girl in the distance and look at the ...... Li Qing.

The candlelight went out, and he turned his head slowly, staring straight at the curtain above his head with blank eyes......

Everyone held their breath for fear of disturbing him.

Zhu Jianshen's face was peaceful and quiet, his breathing became lighter and lighter, and the candlelight could not stain his pale face, and in this way, his life disappeared little by little.

Everyone watched his life pass away little by little......

until freeze frame.

"Grandpa."

Zhu Houzhao shouted.

Grandpa Huang didn't react at all, he was unwilling, and shouted again: "Grandpa Huang." ”

Still so.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang......" Zhu Houzhao shouted over and over again, screaming and crying.

He knew that the imperial grandfather who loved him the most was gone, and after a while, the imperial grandfather would be buried in the soil and never seen again.

The child's immature voice is like an awl piercing people's hearts, again and again, without mercy.

Zhu Wanqing watched, watched with her own eyes, and watched her eldest brother pass away......

Her whole being was numb.

It wasn't until Zhu Houzhao's "Imperial Grandfather" echoed in her ears over and over again that she woke up like a dream.

His nose was sore, hot and slippery, and he couldn't cry......

"Uncle Li......" She looked at Uncle Li with teary eyes, and the candlelight was dazzling, reflecting Uncle Li's bright eyes.

Li Qing stared at Zhu Jianshen.

And he lay there quietly, cold and dusty, desolate and lonely......

"The Emperor is dead~"

A sharp and pathetic voice suddenly sounded, Li Qing trembled violently, and slowly closed his eyes......

"Father's ......"

The howl rang out.

Zhu Wanqing's tears burst into tears and cried miserably......

~

A busy night.

Early in the morning, the palace was full of vegetarian eyes, and hundreds of officials wore linen and filial piety, howling......

The uncle and nephew watched this scene calmly and left slowly.

"Not coming, not coming, never coming again......"

On the way back to Lianjiatun'er, Zhu Wanqing repeated it over and over again, until she arrived at the small courtyard, she had a trace of energy.

"Uncle Li, I want to go home, I want to go home."

Li Qing said softly: "Okay, sleep well, and Uncle Li will take you back when you wake up." ”

"Hmm...." Zhu Wanqing nodded with a crying voice.

…

Next.

Li Qing took Zhu Wanqing on the return journey.

Out of the capital, the uncle and nephew invariably reined in their horses and looked back, stared at the city gate again, turned around, and raised their horsewhips......

~

Jinling, the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongqing.

When the uncle and nephew came back, it seemed that they were traveling all the way, and they were so tired that they had no strength to speak, and they didn't even eat, so they went to the side room and fell asleep.

Li Qing woke up and fell asleep, but he was too lazy to get out of bed.

I don't know how many days later, Li Hao, who heard the news, hurriedly came back and came to the wing room to call him.

"Master Qingye, uncle, is he gone?"

"Gone." Li Qing's eyes were gloomy, "Don't make noise, I'll sleep for a while." ”

Li Hao hurriedly grabbed him and comforted: "Master Qing, you have to cheer up!" ”

"I'm just tired, I want to rest, don't bother me." Li Qing turned over, "Busy with your going, your mother is old, and this family will be handed over to you in the future." ”

"I know." Li Hao nodded and said softly, "Master Qing, we haven't seen our grandson for a long time, let's have a drink." ”

"Not in the mood." Li Qing stretched his waist, then remembered something, turned around and asked, "Is your mother okay?" ”

"Not so good." Li Hao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "She hasn't come out yet, she is stupid, the tea and rice are not fragrant, I persuaded her twice, she also beat me, just caught the little sister and beat me again." ”

"What are you doing beating her?"

"What else? The matter of recruiting a son-in-law. Li Hao frowned, "The little sister is clamoring to become a monk." ”

"Well, why are there so many things." Li Qing got up helplessly, frowned and asked, "In the past six months, has she picked it?" ”

"I picked it, but it didn't suit my heart." Li Hao was helpless, "Our Li family is rich, but the talented and energetic young talents don't want to get into the rich, and the little sister who is willing to go into the rich doesn't look down on it, alas, it's all twenty-one, and it will be delayed again...... No, it's all old girls now. ”

Li Qing groaned: "She was born young, and she said that she was twenty-one, but in fact, she was less than twenty." ”

"How can you count your age like this, Uncle Li?" Li Hao couldn't cry or laugh, "Others don't recognize this." ”

Li Qing was dumbfounded, nodded with a wry smile.

was troubled by this, and he was in no mood to continue lying down, besides, there were still a lot of things to do in Jiaozhi.

~

Guest Hall.

Li Qing called Li Xue'er.

"What do you think?"

"I, I want to pick a wishful gentleman to join."

"Did you pick it?"

"Picked."

"Why not?"

"I don't want to be rich, and I can't look down on what I do." Li Xueer said.

"In that case, let's get married!"

"Grandpa Li, are you going to drive me away?"

"Didn't I drive you away...... Li Qing paused, his eyes sharp, "Do you have a fancy for it?" Let's be honest! ”

"I, I," Li Xue'er said stupidly, "No." ”

At this time, Zhu Wanqing came over and said with a cold face: "Give you another three months, if you don't have a family, get out." ”

"Mother's ......"

"Don't call me a mother, I don't have a mother like you!"

After Zhu Wanqing finished speaking, she was even more annoyed and angry, and she raised her hand to fight.

Li Qing stopped her and said, "Fighting can't solve the problem, sit down first and be calm." ”

After comforting Zhu Wanqing and sitting down, Li Qing said: "Xiao Xue'er, although you must be cautious about major events in life, you can't pursue perfection too much, tell your conditions, and then according to your conditions, it's okay to openly recruit relatives?" ”

Li Xue'er nodded: "Since Grandpa Li said this, then I'm welcome." ”
