The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

The ninth day of February is Zhu Zhanji's birthday.

However, it was just dawn at this time, and it was still raining outside the window.

During this period of time, it has been raining in Nanjing, which made the weather that had finally warmed up suddenly become a lot colder.

Although it was raining and cold every day during this period, the people in Nanjing were very happy.

It snowed suddenly on the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, and it hasn't rained for several months since then, until Zhu Di led his troops to Nanjing, and God made it rain in Nanjing.

In recent years, the weather in Nanjing has not been smooth.Last year, Nanjing did not rain for several months.The year before last, Nanjing was next for several months.The common people are really afraid that something will happen this year.

After the Lantern Festival this year, Nanjing has been raining, which is not a bad thing.It has been raining during this time, and when it is time for spring plowing, there is no need to worry about lack of water for planting.

During this period of time, not only is it raining in Nanjing, but it is also raining in Beijing.

Every year, before Zhu Zhanji's birthday, Beijing will continue to rain until Sishi.

Sishi is the time when Zhu Zhanji was born.

Zhu Zhanji is very famous in Beijing.In his own words, he is the mascot of Beijing.

The common people in Beijing indeed regard him as a mascot.

Every year, Zhu Zhanji's birthday is a very important festival for the people in Beijing.On this day, the city of Beijing is filled with a festive and lively atmosphere.Not only that, the common people will also hang lanterns for decoration.

Zhu Zhanji is a tiger. On the Lantern Festival and his birthday, all kinds of tiger lanterns will be hung in Beijing.Not only that, the people in Beijing will also celebrate their little highness's birthday in other ways, such as various performances.Of course, there are also various things related to Zhu Zhanji, such as portraits.

In Beijing, every household will hang a portrait of Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji's portraits are very popular, but on the ninth day of February, his portraits are basically sold for free.

In addition to portraits, there are also steamed buns, biscuits, and snacks... When Zhu Zhanji was in Beijing, he liked to walk around the streets and eat a lot of things.

These stores named the things Zhu Zhanji had eaten as "His Royal Highness Steamed Buns", "Your Highness Biscuits", "Your Highness Dim Sum" and so on.

On Zhu Zhanji's birthday, these meals are free of charge.

In addition to these, people in Beijing will also go to temples to burn incense and pray for Zhu Zhanji.

In short, on the ninth day of February, people in Beijing will celebrate Zhu Zhanji's birthday lively.

On the ninth day of February this year, Zhu Zhanji was not in Beijing, which is a pity for the people in Beijing.

Although Zhu Zhanji was not in Beijing, the people in Beijing still decided to celebrate His Royal Highness's birthday with joy.

People in Nanjing naturally don't know that people in Beijing will celebrate Zhu Zhanji's birthday on the ninth day of February.Of course, they will not hold various activities to celebrate Zhu Zhanji's birthday like the people in Beijing.

Although the people in Nanjing will not celebrate Zhu Zhanji's birthday, they are full of expectations for Zhu Zhanji's birthday. After all, it has been rumored that Zhu Zhanji is a real dragon.

At this time, it was already Chen Shi, but it was still raining.

The people in Nanjing looked at the heavy rain outside the window and outside the door, wondering in their hearts, will the rain stop today?

"I heard that before His Royal Highness was born, it was also raining in Beijing, and it rained for several days."

"Beijing is in the north. I heard that it rarely rains there. As a result, it rained for more than [-] days before His Royal Highness was born."

"When His Royal Highness Huang Sun was born, the heavy rain in Beijing stopped as soon as it said it would stop. Not only that, but a golden light appeared in the sky and sprinkled on Yan Wang's mansion."

"I heard that when His Royal Highness was born, a real dragon appeared in the sky in Beijing."

"real or fake?"

"I heard that on the day His Royal Highness was born, the people in Beijing saw a fairy."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too."

"I heard that every year on His Royal Highness's birthday, a real dragon will appear in Beijing. Do you think there will be a real dragon today?"

"It's still raining heavily, how could the real dragon appear?"

"

Maybe it won't rain in a while. "

"Then we'll just wait and see."

There are many rumors about Zhu Zhanji, not only the common people have heard of it, but even the ministers have heard a lot.

Although today is the birthday of His Royal Highness, the ministers still have to go to court as usual.

At this moment, the ministers are still in court.However, all the things that should be played have been played.

Ma Sanbao asked, "My lords, is there anything else to do?"

The ministers did not speak.

Ma Sanbao dropped the fly whisk in his hand, and said loudly: "Retire."

The ministers saluted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

As soon as he came down to court, Zhu Gaochi was surrounded by many ministers.

"His Royal Highness, today is His Royal Highness's birthday. This is a small gift from the minister. Please pass it on to His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness, this is a gift from the minister to His Royal Highness..."

"His Royal Highness..."

Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that one day he would be surrounded by ministers and asked to forward gifts.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to accept the gifts from the ministers for his son, and thanked them for his son.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui held many things in their arms.The eunuchs following behind them also had things in their hands.

Of course Zhu Di didn't hold anything in his arms.The ministers didn't have the guts to ask the emperor to help deliver the gift.

"Zhan Ji is really popular." All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gave gifts.

Zhu Gaochi smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect Zhanji to be so popular with the ministers."

"With so many gifts, Zhanji must be overjoyed."

"He, a little money fan, likes receiving gifts the most, especially birthday gifts." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "He said he was waiting for his birthday gift before Chinese New Year, and now he finally got it."

"Brother, wasn't it the same when we were young?"

"We were not as rich as Zhanji when we were young."

"That's true."

Zhu Di, who was walking in front, couldn't help laughing when he heard the two sons talking.

When Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi arrived at Kunning Palace, the Crown Princess and Princess Zhao were already in Kunning Palace.

Today's protagonist Zhu Zhanji just woke up.

When Empress Xu saw Zhu Di and the others coming, she took them to the dining hall, where the family sat together for breakfast.

Before having breakfast, Zhu Di and the others wished Zhu Zhanji a happy birthday.Of course, the birthday gift has to be delivered after breakfast.

It was rare for the whole family to sit together for breakfast, and Zhu Gaosui didn't say anything that made Zhu Zhanji unhappy today.

Zhu Zhanji sat beside Zhu Di, eating the porridge fed by his grandpa with his mouth open.

Today is Zhu Zhanji's birthday, Zhu Di decided to feed him all day.

As a well-behaved and obedient grandson, Zhu Zhanji must of course fulfill his grandfather's wish.

After breakfast, Zhu Di walked out of the dining hall with Zhu Zhanji in his arms.At this moment, the heavy rain outside the corridor suddenly stopped.Just like in previous years, the heavy rain stopped as soon as it said it would, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Then, people in the whole city of Nanjing saw a miraculous scene.

The originally gloomy sky cleared up in an instant, and golden sunlight poured down over the Kunning Palace, and a magnificent and gorgeous rainbow appeared at that time.

The people in Nanjing have never seen such a big rainbow, like a sky bridge.

Zhu Di walked to the courtyard of Kunning Palace with Zhu Zhanji in his arms, and looked up at the rainbow in the sky.

Empress Xu smiled and said, "Every year on Zhanji's birthday, we can see this scene."

Princess Zhao said from the side: "I can see it every year, and I will be shocked every year."

Zhu Gaochi laughed and said, "This scene is exactly the same as when Zhanji was born four years ago."

At this moment, a breeze blew, and then a real dragon suddenly appeared above Tianhong.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on the real dragon, dyeing it golden in an instant.

A golden dragon appeared above the rainbow.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the real dragon, the people in Nanjing were shocked at first.Although they guessed that a real dragon might appear, they didn't expect

to really appear.Then, they look in awe.

Many people bowed their knees to the real dragon above the palace.

Zhu Zhanji stared at the real dragon above.He found that the real dragon that appeared this time seemed to be bigger than the one that appeared last year, as if it had grown up a bit.Not only that, he also found that the real dragon that appeared this time was more... lifelike than before, giving people the feeling of a living real dragon.

The real dragon above the Kunning Palace seems to be lying down, and the dragon's head seems to be right in front of you.

The breeze floated gently, and the dragon's whiskers hanging from the air shook slightly.

Zhu Zhanji kept staring at the real dragon in the sky.He was not mistaken, he saw the real dragon wink.Not only that, but he saw happiness in its eyes.

I don't know if it's because of the wind, but the real dragon's tail is also swaying slightly.

Zhu Zhanji could feel the happy breath emanating from Zhenlong, "You are smiling, aren't you?"

Zhu Di asked, "Zhan Ji, who is laughing?"

Zhu Zhanji pointed to the real dragon in the sky and said to Zhu Di: "Grandfather, it is smiling."

"Really?" Zhu Di raised his head and stared at the real dragon who seemed so close at hand, but didn't see anything.

"Yes, it smiled happily." Zhu Zhanji said, and couldn't help touching the real dragon in the sky.

This time I also touched something hard and slippery, it was not an illusion!

After Zhu Zhanji found that he touched it, it seemed to smile more happily.It can be seen from its cheerful wagging tail.

Although this is not the first time that Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi have faced a real dragon at close range, every time they face a real dragon at close range, they can feel the strong majesty rushing towards them.

This coercion not only made them breathless, but also made their legs weak.

Although the people in Nanjing City did not face the real dragon at close range like Zhu Gaochi and the others, they were still crushed by the power of the real dragon, and their legs became weak and they knelt on the ground.

The real dragon above Kunning Palace suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth.Then, Zhu Zhanji and the others heard a thick and majestic voice that seemed to come from ancient times.

These screams seemed to come from far away, and also seemed to come from the top of their heads, and they beat everyone's hearts fiercely.

It's the roar of the dragon!

It was the dragon roar they had heard last year!

The sound of the dragon roar made everyone startled and terrified, and there was a feeling that made them surrender involuntarily.

Not only humans surrendered, but even animals obediently surrendered.

Zhu Zhanji didn't hear surrender from the sound of the dragon chant, but heard joy and joy.

The dragon roar lasted for a while, and then it lowered its head again, looking at Zhu Zhanji eagerly.

Zhu Zhanji seemed to understand its eyes, and raised his hand again to touch its head in the air.

The real dragon above Kunning Palace shook its tail happily.

In a certain room in Nanjing City, a group of people kneeling on the ground looked in shock at the real dragon above the palace.

The real dragon really appeared!
