The Silly Son of the Shun Jun Family [Rebirth]

The year is coming soon.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the emperor held a banquet in the palace for all officials.

The two events that happened a few years ago were very unlucky, and the emperor also wanted to take this opportunity to remove the bad luck from the palace.Therefore, there are lanterns and festoons everywhere in the palace, which is very lively.It looked very festive.

The prince will be raised for several days, and his body has recovered.

The emperor asked him to attend the banquet, and the prince dressed up, looking even more fresh and juicy.

The prince sat beside his father, listening to his father, and looked at the officials below.Sitting at the front is Qi Lianyu.

Qi Lianyu's eyes are always sweeping towards him intentionally or unintentionally.The prince didn't dare to look at him.Just sitting there, looking down blankly.

The emperor gave a generous speech, and the banquet began.During the period, there are cabaret performances, juggling performances, and fireworks shows, which are almost the same every year.The prince watched blankly.

The prince was too young to drink, so the emperor let him stay for a while, then let him go back.The purpose of the emperor is just to let the prince show his face, so as not to have any gossip outside.

Now that the civil and military officials see the prince as a perfect man, they have nothing to say except good words about the new year, praise the prince's appearance, praise the prince's temperament, praise the prince's wisdom, praise the prince's character, and praise the prince's ability.

After the prince left, the monarch and his subjects had fun together, and it was a lively scene.

Qi Lianyu suddenly felt that the banquet was boring after seeing the prince go.It seemed that it was the most dazzling brilliance at the banquet. After the brilliance disappeared, the banquet was dim and dull.If it wasn't for the sake of face, Qi Lianyu really wanted to send the prince back to the palace in person.

However, today is different, as Qi Lianyu is a courtier and the emperor is still there, naturally he cannot leave the banquet early.

After tonight's New Year's Eve, tomorrow will be the seven-day holiday for the Spring Festival, and you will not be able to enter the palace until the eighth day.

Qi Lianyu was holding a wine glass in his hand, drinking the wine boredly, thinking that he would not be able to see the prince for so many days, he felt a little unhappy...

After the banquet ended, Qi Lianyu got a little drunk, went out of the palace, got into the carriage, and went back home.

The prince returned to the East Palace, feeling a little tired, so he wanted to go to bed early.Xi Gonggong asked him to watch the year and not to go to bed so early.The prince had no choice but to sit on the bed, drinking tea and reciting books.

Mr. Xi wrapped six copper coins in red paper and put them next to the prince's pillow. This is his own lucky money for the prince. He wrapped six coins in the hope that everything will go smoothly for the prince in the coming year.

The prince was carrying the book on his back, and when it was time to sleep, he suddenly heard crackling firecrackers coming from outside the palace.The prince couldn't help but put down his book, stood up, and looked outside.

Eunuch Xi also accompanied the little prince to watch the new year. Seeing the cannon going off outside, he said to the prince, "Your Highness, the cannon went off. It's a new year. Happy New Year."

"Companion, happy new year." The prince looked at him and said in a soft voice.

"After the new year, I have grown up again." Eunuch Xi sighed, "I hope that your highness will be safe and happy this year, and everything will go smoothly."

"I hope to be with you, to live a long life, to always be by my side." The prince said, walking towards Eunuch Xi, and hugging him.

Eunuch Xi is not tall, and his back is a little hunched when he is old, and the crown prince's stature has reached his chest.At this moment, he rested his head on his chest, infinitely attached.

The prince was very reluctant to part with this kind old man in front of him.In the previous life, Eunuch Xi died when he was ten years old.Now that he is nine years old, he sees that his time with him is numbered.

The Prince's affection for Eunuch Xi is even closer than that of his own father.This is a man who treats him well.Such a person is too rare in this ruthless court.

Eunuch Xi's old hand like a withered tree touched the crown prince's head, and said to him: "Be sleepy, go to sleep. In a few hours, we have to get up early to worship our ancestors."

"En." The prince agreed, leaned on him for a while, let go of Eunuch Xi, and turned around silently to go inside.

Eunuch Xi followed the prince in, saw the prince lying on the bed, and helped him cover the quilt.Go out and order Xiao Qi, the night watchman, to wake him up at five o'clock, and then go to sleep after the order.Xi Gonggong also stayed up for half the night, and his body was a little bit unable to hold on.

The prince fell asleep, and he felt that he hadn't slept for long before he was woken up.

The prince was still in a daze, but Eunuch Xi urged him, "Get up quickly, Your Highness, and wash up quickly, don't miss the sacrificial ceremony."

The prince sat up from the bed, his mind was still in a daze, so Eunuch Xi directly ordered the palace servants to pick him up.The prince squinted his eyes and let the palace servants help him wash, dress and dress him.

The prince was tossed around, and slowly, he also came to his senses.When the prince was awake, the palace staff had already taken care of him.

Eunuch Xi brought a plate of snacks and asked him to pad his stomach first.The main meal is afraid to wait until the sacrifice is over before eating.

In previous years, the sacrifices took a long time, and it was noon after the sacrifices.You can't exit halfway, and you can't eat. You can only pack something in advance before going.Lest you faint from hunger.

The prince also knew that he would not come back so soon, so he ate a few pieces of snacks.The snack was so choking that the prince didn't dare to drink more water.I am afraid that I will be disrespectful in front of my ancestors.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household gets up early to prepare tribute and sacrifice.

The royal family is no exception. Early in the morning, a group of mighty people went to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors.Although the emperor doesn't have any brothers, his father does. He has many uncles, uncles, and cousins, and there are many children in the prince's generation.

Everyone is of the same clan, and they are both descendants of the Zhao family, so they naturally went to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors together.

The emperor led his two sons and a group of fellow ancestors to the Taimiao.Most of the affairs of the sacrifice are handed over to the Taichang Temple.The emperor only needs to lead his ancestors to bow three times and bow nine times in front of their ancestors.This is simple to say, but a set of etiquette is very complicated in practice.It took a long time.

The sacrificial scene was solemn and solemn, except for the Li Sheng who sang the salute, everyone bowed and bowed, and no one dared to make a sound.

The order of kneeling is also based on seniority and status. The emperor is the supreme under heaven, so naturally no one dares to precede him.

Kneeling at the front is the emperor, down are the emperor's uncles and uncles, further down are the emperor's cousins, and behind is the prince leading a group of juniors.

On such a solemn occasion, the prince didn't dare to show his breath, and knelt down silently.A group of juniors are also older than the prince, and some are younger than the prince, and their status is not as respected as the prince, so they have to be ranked behind him.

This sacrificial ceremony is cumbersome for adults, let alone a group of small ones.But in front of the ancestors, no one dared to complain, so they had to bear it silently...

It was almost noon after the sacrifices to Taimiao.

A group of people were dizzy with hunger.Limbs go limp.

After the prince paid homage to his ancestors, he had to go to another temple to pay homage to his birth mother, Empress Wenxian. The emperor went with him, and the second prince and the rest of the royal family went back first.

After working hard all morning, the prince didn't drink a drop of water, his mouth was dry and his stomach was empty.But he didn't say anything, and followed his father to pay homage to his mother.

When Empress Wenxian died, the prince was still young, so he didn't have much impression of his biological mother.I only heard that Eunuch Xi said that she is a virtuous and virtuous queen.It's a pity that he left at a young age.

Seeing the memorial tablet of Empress Wen Xian, the emperor couldn't help thinking about it again.

After the father and son worshiped, they went back to the palace together.

Eunuch Xi saw that the crown prince had come back, so he rushed up to greet him, and said: "Your Highness has worked hard, the meal has been prepared, let's eat something first."

"En." The prince replied with a weary expression, he was overly hungry at the moment, but he didn't feel hungry at all.Just feeling drained and exhausted.
