The old man is a man who can't rest. In the Ming Dynasty, all ministries and offices began to officially open their offices from the first day of the Lunar New Year. Zhu Yunxi, the crown prince, also had to continue to study step by step with the Hanlin bachelors of Zhan Shifu every day.
However, this year's first month is slightly different, and this year's first month is also particularly festive.
First it was Huai Wang Zhu Yunwen, and then the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi. Their marriages were almost in tandem. The Huai Wang's wedding was scheduled for the eleventh day of the first lunar month. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would go to Huai'an to become a vassal.
In the blink of an eye, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Yunzhi moved back to the East Palace and lived in the Ciqing Hall the day before his wedding.
Although the old man wanted Zhu Yunwen to join the feudal clan as soon as possible, he did not treat this concubine's eldest grandson badly. The proper etiquette was not neglected at all, and the rewards of gold and silver treasures in the inner treasury were also flowing like water.
But Zhu Yunwen, who was about to get married, just forced a smile, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the sadness hidden in his eyes.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the window, looking at the East Palace where he had lived for more than ten years and was full of memories, with a look in his eyes.
There are too many memories and too many laughters here for him. He was once the owner of this place, but in the end he could only be a passerby. A passerby who only left his name but no traces.
It's not that he is still unwilling, it's just that he feels a little lonely every time he thinks about it.
Mother, my son is getting married, and he will go to Huai'an to join the feudal clan in a few days! Zhu Yunwen looked at the Ciyun Palace without any lights and thought to himself, after leaving, I don't know when I will be able to come back to pay homage to you!
Ciyun Hall, the place where the Lu family originally lived. Now in the brightly lit East Palace, it is as desolate as a cold palace.
Your Highness! Outside, a eunuch whispered, Your Highness the Grand Sun is here!
Zhu Yunwen quickly wiped his face, tidied his clothes and went out to greet him.
Sir, please see His Highness Taisun!
Second brother! Get up quickly! Outside the door, Zhu Yunxi pulled him up and said with a smile, you are getting married tomorrow, are you nervous?
Not bad! Zhu Yun smiled shyly.
He was not a sharp-tongued person in the first place, but after Lu's incident, he lost his Sacred Heart. He is usually more cautious in what he says, and since Lu's death, he has no energy at all, and he does not dare to fight if he can't compete with others.
Do you have something on your mind? Zhu Yunxi dismissed the eunuchs, entered the room and said, is there anything you can't let go of?
No! Zhu Yunwen followed behind. Under the light, the five-clawed golden dragon on Zhu Yunxi’s body was particularly dazzling. Chen, it’s okay!
Second brother! Zhu Yunxi turned around and sat down. Although you and I have had small disputes in the past, we are still brothers after all. If something happens, just say it directly and I will not let you have any regrets!
Sir... Zhu Yunwen hesitated slightly.
But are you thinking about Yunxi and Yunxi? Zhu Yunxi said.
These two people are Zhu Yunwen's half-brothers, and they now live in the palace of the prince. The palace is a snobbish place, and the princes and grandsons are proud and sensitive regardless of whether they are in power or not. After Zhu Yunwen came to power, although they were still
They are prosperous and wealthy, but only they themselves know the sorrow and sorrow in it.
Zhu Yunwen nodded, yes, they are still young and don't like to study. After saying that, he raised his head and cupped his hands, and said seriously, Your Highness, after all, we have the same father!
Have you forgotten what Prince Gu went to tell you that day? Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, if Gu was still blaming you in his heart, how could he take the initiative to get close to you? We are brothers from the same father, and the past has passed.
I am their elder brother, and so am I! After you become the vassal, I will take good care of them and prevent them from being wronged!
In the past few days, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old man has been asking the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple, and Honglu Temple about Zhu Yunwen's marriage every day. The reward for converting him to the vassal has been rising again and again.
But Zhu Yunwen seemed to be completely unaware and accepted it submissively, without any act of gratitude in private. Perhaps he did not dare, or was afraid of the old man, so he became more and more cautious.
With his attitude and thoughts like this, it's no wonder that the old man is so happy! How many more years does the old man have? How many more years does he have? After the vassal, Zhu Yunwen may never have the chance to return to the capital. Zhu Yunxi asked him to see the old man. Basically,
, also to prevent the old man from having any regrets.
When we arrived at Fengtian Temple, several eunuchs from the front had already come to greet us.
Zhu Yunxi stopped and said, "Second brother, go ahead! I won't go in alone!" He then said, "Have a good talk with Grandpa Huang. He is thinking about you in his heart. Don't let him let go or let him think about you again!"
Sir, I understand! Zhu Yunwen is also a smart man. He has already noticed Zhu Yunxi's intentions, smiled kindly, and stepped forward.
The moment his back entered the hall, Zhu Yunxi sat casually on a step and looked at the sky full of stars.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen's suppressed crying came from the Fengtian Palace.
This was the first time I saw Zhu Yunwen since the old man ordered Lu to die that night.
I guess this is also the last time!
The sky is filled with twinkling stars, some shining all the time, and some just shining for a few times before falling into the night sky.
