Views:

Throughout the four years of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian worked hard. There were too many major events in Ming Dynasty. Whether it was internal affairs, diplomacy and military affairs, they all developed in the direction of a modern country. This gave Zhu Youjian a trace of comfort.

Although he was busy, Zhu Youjian gave himself a holiday on New Year's Eve. He wanted to spend a reunion year with his queen and concubine in Kunning Palace.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhou Yufeng invited Wan'er, Hu Xinxue, and Wang Meiyu to Kunning Palace early, and Zhu Youjian did not arrive at Kunning Palace until the sky saw black light.

The four female birds twittered and sat around Zhu Youjian. They were used to having a meal with Zhu Youjian, and they also enjoyed this rare moment of gathering.

But Zhu Youjian is lonely, his wives and concubines are in groups. However, he can't see his mother on this day of national reunion, and may never see his mother.

Not to mention hundreds of years of future generations, even in this great palace, he has no relatives, his biological father and mother have been separated from each other forever, and even the adoptive mother is no longer alive. Since he came to Daming, these closest people to him, He has never seen one.

"Zhu Youjian" originally had seven brothers, but five of them died before they reached adulthood. Only he and his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao were able to reach adulthood, but Zhu Youxiao also died young, and now only the lonely Zhu is left. By inspection.

Zhu Youjian has long been accustomed to being alone. He has learned to lie on a bed and chew on his own time and space silently.

Today is New Year's Eve. The lights outside and the continuous sound of firecrackers still make Zhu Youjian a little bit lost.

"Your Majesty, is there any major event that hasn't ended? Today is New Year's Eve!" Zhou Yufeng found Zhu Youzhen's depression from Zhu Youzhen's slightly frowned brows, and she rarely threw a flattery to Zhu Youzhen The look in his eyes, neither resembling a fox, nor his usual dignity, seemed a bit nondescript.

"Oh, it's New Year's Eve now, I'm here to reunite with you." Zhu Youzhen laughed a little self-deprecatingly. Yes, today is New Year's Eve. Everyone should be happy and happy, thinking about these unchangeable worries. do what? It's better to have a little wine with your wife and concubine and talk homely.

"Your Majesty, your concubines respect your Majesty, and wish your Majesty good health and longevity." This first glass of wine should have been Zhou Yufengjing's, but Zhou Yufeng was pregnant and could not drink, so Wan'er had to do it for him.

"Shou and Tianqi? Haha, Wan'er, then you sisters, you have to be with me." Zhu Youzhen was amused by Wan'er. He raised his neck and drank a cup with Wan'er.

Zhou Yufeng winked at Hu Xinxue, and Hu Xinxue held up the white jade cup in front of him, and gave Zhu Youjian a blessing. "The concubines wish your majesty an early birth and a full house of children and grandchildren."

"Hahaha..."

The girls laughed together, especially Wan'er, who had laughed so much earlier.

Did you give birth to a baby or me? Zhu Youzhen finally held back his laugh, "The children and grandchildren are all up to you, don't you want me to give birth to a baby?" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhou Yufeng's lower abdomen before he had sex with Hu Xinxue.

When it was Wang Meiyu's turn, she stood up first, left her seat and retreated a bit later, gave Zhu Youjian a Mongolian twisting dance, and then she toasted Zhu Youjian with sweat and sweat: "The concubines wish your majesty a new year, and all the officials will congratulate you all. Come to North Korea."

"Haha, Yuer is still good at talking, a hundred officials celebrate, all nations come to Korea, and Daming will become the Asian Communist Party sooner or later. Come on, Yuer, drink." Zhu Youjian ate it again.

After drinking three cups in a row, Zhu Youjian was just about to take a break, but Zhou Yufeng raised her little jade cup: "Your Majesty, concubine... It's not suitable to drink, just use this tea. I wish your Majesty become an Asian Communist as soon as possible, and I wish Daming good luck. All industries are prosperous, and I wish the people all over the world will have enough food and clothing."

"Feng'er deserves to be the mother of the country, and she still thinks about the people of the world. It is rare, rare, I have to drink this glass of wine." Zhu Youzhen just toasted, suddenly remembered something, "Recently, I was in " Didn't see the article on "Yu Wanxin" in Ming Pao? During the period of Ming Pao, big things kept going!"

"Your Majesty, the concubines also want to write some articles, but this Spain, the Sulu Kingdom, and the concubines are really not enough, so I dare not write." Wan'er grabbed the conversation.

"Ao, I thought that Feng'er's body is inconvenient, and you guys are just playing lazy." Zhu Youjian glanced lightly at Wan'er, and smoothly toasted the wine with Zhou Yufeng.

"Your Majesty, how dare your concubines dare to be lazy? It's not that Daming's area is getting wider and wider now. When the ministers and concubines encounter more and more countries and government affairs that they don't understand, they can't find it after consulting the classics. I don't know what your majesty is. In which classics did you find this knowledge?" Wan'er is really not idle, but she is really not good at assessing recent government affairs.

"Oh, these may be in the classics, or they may be taught by the teachers. They are all in my mind. I really can't find the source for a while," Zhu Youjian punched haha, "I'll talk about these later, or Xue'er said well, you have to give me more princes and princesses, and we can't always spend New Year's Eve together."

Wan'er, Hu Xinxue, and Wang Meiyu were speechless for a while, and even Zhou Yufeng was silent. They didn't know if they were shy, reserved, or afraid of irritating the three pregnant concubines.

Zhu Youjian suddenly realized that although he had no parents and brothers, he already had a child. Although the child was temporarily in Zhou Yufeng's belly, he did not know whether it was a male or a female. After all, he was a living being, his own flesh and blood.

While Zhu Youjian was drinking and chattering, his gaze kept staring down Zhou Yufeng's chest.

"Your... Your Majesty..." Zhou Yufeng was shy and dragged her tone. Zhu Youzhen made a light anger, but her heart was warm. She was a queen and Zhu Youzhen's first child. If she was born It's a boy, it's hard to be a prince or not. When Zhu Youjian kept peeking at the child, why didn't she want the child to be born soon

"I can't look at it? You are all my women. What are you afraid of? Besides, I just looked at it but didn't touch it." Zhu Youjian said with a face, his eyes turned to Wan'er, "Wan'er, I will drink with you. A cup, during this period of time, the queen is heavy, and you should bear more of the affairs in the palace. It's hard work."

"The Queen's sister arranged it very well, and the concubines did not work hard." Wan'er was slightly moved. She took a sip of the wine in the glass and lowered her head again, seemingly unhappy in her heart.

Zhu Youjian noticed Wan'er’s emotional changes. It is estimated that he had set Zhou Yufeng’s belly and stimulated her, so he stretched out his big hand, gently held Wan'er's hands, and stroked them on the tender and boneless hands. , Quietly took off his boots, and squeezed gently on Wan'er's Jinlian.

Wan'er felt the changes in her hands and feet. She coughed gently, and her head was almost under the dining table. Only then did she see Zhu Youzhen doing a strange thing, her face turned red, and a peach blossom quickly spread across her face. .

She was worried that Zhou Yufeng and the others would see it, and thought she was seduce Zhu Youjian, so they couldn’t clean it after jumping into the Yellow River. She had to pull her little hand out of Zhu Youzhen’s hand and shrink her feet, but she couldn’t. She didn't dare to use strong, so she had to let Zhu Youjian do anything wrong.

Zhu Youjian took the time to drank some warm water and wine with Hu Xinxue and Wang Meiyu. They did not have the thoughts of Waner. Zhu Youjian reviewed memorials, handled government affairs, and planned the development of Ming Dynasty. He could have time to accompany them to drink small wine. Not bad, they rarely enjoy such a warm time.

Zhou Yufeng has been pregnant for several months. Because she has to accompany Zhu Youqian to eat, she has to sit for a long time. She pinches her waist with her small hands from time to time, not knowing whether it is fatigue, or reminds herself to straighten her body and not to press on the fetus in her abdomen.

"Feng'er is inconvenient, let's finish our dinner soon!" Zhu Youjian finished a glass of wine and asked the eunuchs and court ladies to prepare the staple food.

"Your Majesty, it's okay. How can the concubines be so refined? Besides, the children are still small and they don't get in the way." Zhou Yufeng was a little bit upset. Zhu Youjian was busy except for staying in the harem. Don't talk about drinking and gossiping with their sisters like this.

"Feng'er, we had dinner first, and then I walked with you. Don't sit around all the time. It's not good for yourself or your children." Zhu Youzhen is like an eight-woman.

Hearing that Zhu Youzhen was accompanying their sisters, Zhou Yufeng nodded and asked the palace ladies to serve some staple food. According to Zhu Youjian, the staple food tonight, like ordinary people, is dumplings.

Eating dumplings on New Year’s Eve is a tradition of northerners. It symbolizes that the whole family will be reunited like dumplings, and the gold and silver ingots like dumplings will continue. However, Zhu Youjian wishes the four girls as white and beautiful as dumplings, and the convex place is convex. , The concave place was placed, causing the women to laugh and scold again.

After dinner, Wan'er did not sleep at all. She remembered the New Year’s Eve that she spent with Zhu Youjian in Yansui, “Your Majesty rarely accompanies our sisters. Tonight is New Year’s Eve. Your Majesty will accompany our sisters to set off firecrackers. Right!"

"Put fireworks? Okay, I'll go too." Wang Meiyu slapped her small hand to welcome. She is a Mongolian, and she rarely sees fireworks. In the dark night, a rose-like firework can bloom. She has heard Hu Xinxue say a long time ago. Over.

"Well, Feng'er and Xue'er come together too!" Zhu Youjian is a very family-oriented person. Wan'er and Wang Meiyu behaved to him, and he had no reason not to follow.

Wan'er quickly fetched the fireworks and firecrackers. It seemed that she was already ready.

Zhu Youjian held Zhou Yufeng with one hand, she was pregnant, and when she was about to hold her waist with the other hand, she refused. The five people slowly walked out of the palace gate, preparing to go outside the palace gate for a little fun.

On weekdays, the gate of the palace was locked as early as dark, but today is New Year’s Eve. The emperor wants to have fun with the people. The gate of the palace will not be closed until the next hour. Inside and outside the palace walls are red lanterns lit with candles. , Illuminating the low altitude of the imperial city like daylight.

"Wan'er, I'm watching by the side, come on!"

"My concubine dare not, let your majesty order it!" Wan'er is like a child. She loves the beauty of the fireworks when they bloom, and is afraid of the loud noise when the fireworks explode. She had to pass the fireworks to Zhu Youjian expectantly. Is Zhu Youjian the only man in the palace

Zhu Youzhen chuckled and glanced at Wan'er. Wan'er's face was especially like a fully mature red Fuji against the background of the palace lanterns. She bravely did not take back her gaze, fluttering big eyes seemed to tell Zhu Youzhen , You are a man, you should put fireworks for me to make me happy.
