Chapter 1419 Famine and Natural Disaster 577
Zhou Ting said: "Leave two people to protect Aunt Zhao, and the rest will follow."

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Nanny Zhao and two guards stayed in the box, while An San led the other guards to follow their masters.

Walking downstairs and out of Wangxi Building, you will see a colorful street. Men and women, young and old, are all smiling, full of anticipation and joy for the new year.

The war and chaos outside have nothing to do with the Northwest, and natural disasters and man-made disasters have nothing to do with the Northwest.

The group walked past the juggling stall and tried all kinds of snacks. Mingyi did not eat alone, but bought one for each person who came with her. Even for Nanny Zhao and the two guards who did not come with them, she bought one and asked the guards who came with them to help hold it.

A lantern festival must have the atmosphere of a lantern festival. What's the point of her eating and drinking alone? Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

The guards received a variety of snacks, not much, but they were grateful; they were not made of iron, and it was inevitable that they would feel hungry and cold when traveling in the cold weather. With food in their stomachs, their bodies would not be so cold, and they would benefit from whatever their masters ate, so they did not feel cold after walking a long way.

The entire lantern festival lasted until the second half of the night. Leaving the bustling streets, Zhou Ting and Ming Yi got on a carriage.

Nanny Zhao brought the packed things over and put them in the carriage. Then she and Chunmei chose to walk outside and not ride in the same carriage with their masters.

Inside the carriage.

Mingyi leaned on the broad shoulders of the person next to him. The muscles he was resting on were very hard, and they were still hard even when he tried to relax.

"Are you sleepy?" He put his arm around the little girl's waist to prevent her from sitting unsteadily due to the shaking of the carriage.

"I'm a little sleepy, but I had a lot of fun."

"As long as you are happy, we can visit the lantern festival again when we have the chance in the future." If she was happy, he would be willing to do it. His little girl deserved the best.

Mingyi nodded, "We'll talk about it when we have the chance. The lantern festival in the capital city is more prosperous than the lantern festival in the border city. No matter rich or poor, everyone is very happy, with expectations and joy for the coming year. Only those who live and work in peace and contentment will look forward to the future with joy. Chaosheng, you have given the people of the northwest a stable place to live."

"This is not only true in the northwest, but also in Ningcheng and Xiyu City. Under your governance, the people's lives are getting better and better. Perhaps in the near future every household will be able to live a prosperous life, with children well cared for and the elderly well cared for."

That is the true vision of prosperity.

"Since this is what you want to see, I will certainly do my best." Zhou Ting laughed hoarsely, with sweet joy spreading in his heart.

As the eldest son of the Zhou Palace, he enjoyed the benefits brought by the Zhou Palace and held the power of the Zhou Palace, so he should seek happiness for the people; however, he used to think that it should be so, and as a superior, he should know that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

He has a heart for the world and a determination to make the people live and work in peace and contentment; but with Mingyi's generous praise, it all seems worth it.

Mingyi understands him.

In the future, he will have a woman who understands him and will always be by his side. What more could he ask for?
When we returned to the palace, it was almost dawn.

Mingyi had a full meal in the carriage. After returning, she simply washed up and slept for less than an hour before getting up, changing into new clothes, and following Zhou Ting to the main courtyard in the backyard to pay New Year's greetings.

"My Lord, Miss Cheng wishes you a happy new year. Please come in. The princess has just gotten up and has been waiting for you two to have breakfast together." Aunt Xu's old face was smiling like a flower. Her princess was happy when the two future masters of the palace arrived; when the princess was happy, she was happy too.

"Happy New Year, Madam Xu."

"All is well, all is well. Please come in." Aunt Xu bowed again and smiled even more happily.

The two walked hand in hand across the courtyard, up the steps, and came to the main hall door; without Aunt Xu's help, Zhou Ting protected her shoulders with one hand, lifted the curtain with the other, and stepped into the house together. It was freezing cold outside, but the house was warm and hot.

"Mother, may the New Year bring you good luck, peace in spring, peace in summer, and happiness in autumn and winter."

"Happy New Year, Princess. May it last forever, with new things every year."

Princess Zhou smiled as she looked at her two children. The boy was tall and handsome, full of vigor and vitality. The originally cold and stern man had become much less cold now that he had his beloved by his side. The girl was pretty and lovely like the warm spring in March, with red lips, fair face, bright eyes and white teeth.

Standing together, they complement each other and are a perfect match.

"Well, well, well, happy New Year to you too. May you enjoy every year together, and celebrate the new times." Princess Zhou said, and then she took the big red envelope that had been placed on the table and handed it to them. "I give you this crushed silver. I hope you will be safe every day and always happy."

Zhou Ting and Ming Yi smiled at each other, and both walked forward with gentle smiles to receive the red envelopes.

The more Princess Zhou looked at this perfect couple, the more she liked them. She held them tightly and wouldn't let them leave. Nanny Xu was very perceptive. She brought a chair for each of them and sat them down in front of Princess Zhou.

"Mingyi thanks Princess." The red envelope in her hand was weightless, but she knew it contained silver bills.

There are people who crush silver and give away silver notes, but they are rare.

Most elders seek a good omen and bless their descendants, and they don’t care about the amount of money.

"You don't have to be polite to me." Princess Zhou held the little girl's hand with one hand and her son's hand with the other. "After you get married in a few days, you should call me mother. It is my duty to give you New Year's gifts. You two have known each other since childhood, and you have been childhood sweethearts. You have shared weal and woe, and I am very happy."

His son did not follow in his mother's footsteps.

She lived a good life in the boudoir, but had a hard time in the few years after she got married, but fortunately she got through it; as long as she didn't care about men, she had a noble status, a son to rely on, and a dowry to support herself, so her life was happier than the last empress dowager of the Dayi Dynasty.

Princess Zhou paused and continued, "Now, the Northwest is stable, and the situation outside has changed; the burden and future of the Northwest are on the two of you. Mother doesn't want anything, but only hopes that you can support each other and rely on each other."

Don't follow the old path of her and King Zhou, treating each other with respect, that's really cold.

Bing's heart is cold.

She wants to see her son and daughter-in-law happy.

Her marriage was unhappy, but she would have no regrets if her son's marriage was happy.

"Don't worry, mother. My son and Yi Yi have supported each other for so many years, and they will continue to be together in the future. She will not abandon me, and I will not abandon her." How could he bear to abandon the person he had begged for?

Mingyi looked shy and nodded firmly.

There was a tacit understanding between the two of them, and they cared about each other. The friendship that was unconsciously brought out between their words and actions was seen by Princess Zhou, and she was happy in her heart.

After having breakfast with the princess in the backyard, the two of them took a carriage back to Chengjiazhuang to wish the Cheng family a happy new year and received several red envelopes.

Grandpa, grandma, parents, uncle and second uncle all gave red envelopes.

She pulled Zhou Ting back to the yard and sent Chunmei to get tea and snacks, while she took Zhou Ting to the small study. She immediately took out the several red envelopes she had received and placed them on the table, then turned to look at Zhou Ting.
