When Zhou Buyan came down, Chu Xingchen took out the pillow hidden behind him and said, "Deng Deng Deng, New Year's gift!"
"I made this specially for you while you were away to see if you like it."
Chu Xingchen gave Zhou Buyan a pillow with a cat pattern. He had asked for it before, so she decided to give him another one, which was just right.
"The red color is festive. Although I didn't embroider the cat, I did embroider the word "Fu"."
On the red pillow, in addition to the cute cat, there is also a blessing word. The blessing was written and embroidered by Chu Xingchen himself.
She doesn't know how to do real embroidery, but she can do cross-stitch.
So I drew some crosses on it, and I didn’t need to match the color. Except for the cross stitch being a bit big, there were no other problems.
Zhou Buyan watched as the pillow did not move, and Chu Xingchen pushed it into his hand, "Come on, hurry up. Although it doesn't look very pretty, it was made by me myself. I originally wanted to inject it, but I changed it because you didn't care.
of."
Zhou Buyan held the pillow and felt that the pillow was so red that it made his eyes feel hot. He moved his mouth to say something, but couldn't. Finally, he flew away again holding the gift.
Chu Xingchen: "...Zhou Buyan, you didn't even say a word whether you like it or not!" When will this rebellious period end!
She battled wits and courage with him like in a spy movie, taking action when he was not around, just to surprise him. She was so nervous that she got pricked in the hand several times with needles. After a lot of effort, he was still the same.
.
"I don't believe I can't cure you!" Chu Xingchen began to miss Zhou without saying anything.
"Don't say anything in the week, don't say anything in the week, don't say anything in the week..."
Zhou Buyan was helpless by her nagging him, fearing that she would break her voice and finally have to speak.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I like it very much."
"That's pretty much it."
Chu Xingchen had a traditional New Year, but because of the newspaper, he still had to go to work from time to time. The third and fourth issues were released on time on the third and ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
The timing of the newspaper release is good, it is when everyone is at their leisure and best informed. There are New Year's greeting parties everywhere, newspapers are being talked about everywhere, and sales are also rising.
According to the news coming back from various places, the influence of the Da Chu Bao gradually expanded, and the Queen's prestige became more and more important, and her influence became more and more powerful. It has become a destined fact.
In this process, the decline of Confucianism and the Xie family also became a fact.
However, one month was like a year for the Xie family, and finally they found a way - they also wanted to file a newspaper.
Chu Xingchen restricted them from speaking in Dachu Newspaper, so they ran their own newspaper. With the Dachu Newspaper case in hand, they believed they could succeed.
But there is a problem. Paper and printing need to cooperate, and running a newspaper requires government permission. They disclosed the information in advance and wanted to try Chu Xingchen's tone.
"Run a newspaper. It will be possible to run a newspaper when all aspects are more mature. Then we can run a newspaper together and it will blossom everywhere. But there are many things that need to be improved. Let them wait."
Chu Xingchen didn't hide it, "The imperial court is very kind to those who are serious about running newspapers, but running newspapers privately... that is absolutely not allowed. If it causes a bad impact, it will be a problem for the nine tribes."
Shen Cangzhu nodded, but was also a little worried, "His Highness will not leave the palace these days, lest the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry."
Chu Xingchen always likes to go outside the palace.
"I understand." Chu Xingchen nodded obediently, "I won't go out before the Lantern Festival."
Shen Cangzhu frowned, "Your Highness is going to the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival?"
"Yes, although the palace is also lively, it is even more lively outside."
During the Lantern Festival, the fifth issue of the newspaper was about to be published. Chu Xingchen reviewed the manuscript on the fourteenth day and couldn't wait to find Xiao Wang.
"Xiao Shaoqing, don't forget that we are going to attend the lantern festival during the Lantern Festival. If you see anything you like, buy more."
I have made a lot of money this year thanks to Xiao Wang, so I should reward myself when I should.
Xiao Wang looked at Chu Xingchen, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, "I haven't forgotten."
He wanted to make sure it was just the two of them, but finally kept his mouth shut.
"Then it's settled."
Chu Xingchen said it was perfect and left. Xiao Wang looked at her back, but there was a rare trace of confusion in his eyes.
Because he is in charge of palace affairs, he will hear about many things in the East Palace sooner or later. Yesterday, he suddenly heard the news that the concubine and Shen Bianjun were suspected of consummating their marriage.
The news came out from Mingxuan Palace, and the reason was the Yuanpa left behind by their consummation.
After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and asked someone to inquire, but no more information was found.
Xiao Wang didn't know what was going on. He thought it was okay when he heard that the file was not recorded before, but he might not have recorded the file after going to bed.
However, Chu Xingchen seemed to be no different from before. He still remembered their previous appointment at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, which made Xiao Wang a little confused.
He didn't know whether this trip to the lantern festival was a compensation or apology to him.
He even had the urge to ask Chu Xingchen directly. After thinking about it, he stayed up all night.
When Xiao Wang got up the next day, with a faint bloodshot look in his eyes, he read the fifth issue of Da Chu News published on the Lantern Festival.
In addition to daily news articles and blessings, people's livelihood aspects include lantern festival safety precautions.
Every year at the lantern festival, there are always missing children or little girls. In addition to detailing the basic characteristics of kidnappers, the newspapers also include common methods to remind adults to pay attention. It also says that if you are really separated from your family, you must remember to find a kidnapper on the street. When patrolling, they will be responsible for helping find family members or sending people home.
Xiao Wang could imagine how many people would discuss and discuss the newspaper after it was distributed.
"Your Highness, who cares about the people..."
He murmured something and said in a cheerful tone, "Shaoqing, Your Highness specially sent glutinous rice balls, saying that we must have never seen them before."
Xiao Wang put the newspaper aside, opened it and looked at it for a moment, "How come these glutinous rice balls are colorful?" There are red, green and yellow ones. There are six glutinous rice balls, one in the middle and five surrounding them, like a colorful flower. of flowers.
It doesn't look like something to eat, but something to look at.
"It was His Highness's idea. He said that by mixing some vegetable juices and fruit juices, you can make colorful ones, so he asked the kitchen to make them. His Highness arranged them himself."
The attendant of Jinhua Palace replied smartly, his eyes lit up when he mentioned Chu Xingchen, "His Highness also wrote a signature, Shaoqing, please read it."
Xiao Wang looked at his handsome face and nodded, asking Jinyan to accept the letter and reward him. After the attendant left, Xiao Wang signed the note.
There is only one sentence on the label, "After eating glutinous rice balls, my heart blossoms." There is also a small flower drawn on the back.
Xiao Wang was obviously very tired, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw this sentence.
She is always so unexpected and surprising.
Jinyan happily served Xiao Wang and washed his hands, "Shaoqing, His Highness is so kind to you. He specially wrote a signature and made colorful glutinous rice balls. This is the first time I have seen you."
Xiao Wang smiled slightly and said, "It's not specially made for me." He knew without asking that she must have given it to everyone.
He is not the most special one to her.
Xiao Wang looked at the glutinous rice balls for a few more times before slowly eating them. The colors were different and the taste was slightly different, full of surprises.
A few glutinous rice balls are like Chu Xingchen, you will never guess what she will do next.
One day passed, and soon it was time to make an appointment with Chu Xingchen. Jinyan became excited early and took out a lot of clothes for him to choose from.
Xiao Wangwang didn't reply for a long time, which made Jinyan feel uneasy.
