Chapter 443 The end of the year and the beginning of the new year
In Yanfu Palace, Zhao Guangyuan and his son were summoned to come to see Emperor Zheng.

"Get up."

Emperor Zhi Zheng shouted, looking away from Zhao Guangyuan and falling on Chang Zhi beside him. "Keep your head up."

Chang Zhi raised his head anxiously and looked curiously at the emperor on the dragon throne. This was his imperial grandfather. He looks different from his father, he feels so majestic.

"You're quite brave."

When Changzhi heard this, he lowered his head in a hurry.

"Why do you need to scare him?" Zhao Guangyuan said calmly.

Emperor Zhizheng snorted, feeling sorry for someone with a foreign surname. I also thought that he didn't even have a biological child, so he could only care for the boy with his surname. There was something strange in my heart again. A touch of heartache is fleeting.

"I heard that I became a disciple of Jiang Wentao?"

"Yes." Zhao Guangyuan responded on behalf of his son.

In his heart, he felt that it was a great grace for such an awkward surnamed boy to be able to enter the palace and serve as a companion at the age of 16. With this level of status, no one in the capital would look down upon this boy named Lin. Got him.

Not to mention that he would not be away during the day, even if he was here every day, he would not let him enter the palace as a companion. It's not that sixteen is a bad thing, it's just that he doesn't want his elder brother to enter the palace.

Zhao Guangyuan felt proud when he saw him surprised. My son, even if he didn't grow up in the capital or be raised in the royal family, would still be outstanding.

Emperor Zhizheng was a little surprised that he actually refused? Wouldn't it be better to have one more road?

After leaving the main hall, Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, looked back, and let out another breath, which made Zhao Guangyuan amused, "Didn't you handle it very well just now?"

After hearing this, he became proud.

Today’s New Year’s Eve palace banquet was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the palace was lively and lively. It was the first time I entered the palace. Everything I saw was strange. Many of my friends also entered the palace. The friends gathered together and had a good time. Compared to Sir, I am the happiest today.

Zhao Guangyuan glanced at his hands. His son's palms were sweating nervously, but he didn't show it at all just now. He patted his head and said, "My son handled it very well just now."

Lin Zhaoxia didn't care. After sitting for a while, he confessed and came out.

Emperor Zhizheng began to love talents.

My son, how can I not plan for him?
Only then did Zhao Guangyuan stop thinking. He thought that the person sitting here was his own father. He had never planned anything for him. He was still suspicious and jealous, and had wiped out the entire royal brother's family. He himself had also fallen into that situation. His face became a little colder.

"You are quite good at planning for him."

Seeing the father and son, he also breathed a sigh of relief to the father and son, which made Zhao Guangyuan amused again, "You mother and son are exactly the same."

Chang Zhi raised his head and glanced at his father. Seeing his encouraging eyes, he felt reassured.

Since he recognized his father at the age of five, he has been arranged to learn various lessons by Zhao Guangyuan. Over the years, he has been studying with Lu Shanchang, and has been carefully taught privately by Zhao Guangyuan and Jiang Xiang. Now he has begun to study history and national policy with Jiang Wentao, and he has also Studying government affairs.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Highness, Sixteenth Highness, is also welcome to visit the Yue Palace."

Zhao Guangyuan thought that his son would not refuse, so he planned to help his son on the sidelines. Unexpectedly, his son did not need him. When he grew up, he declined the emperor politely, without him taking any action.

How could Lin Zhaoxia let the palace's informants get close to the main courtyard before settling the two aunts Zhou Jia, and she didn't want to replace them again.

"It's better not to come to this palace if you can. I get nervous every time I come. I always feel like there are pitfalls everywhere, and I dare not relax with my heart. When I enter the palace this time, I have to rest for several days before I can get over it. Cells are replenished.”

Chang Zhi glanced around and saw no one around, so he spread his hands towards his father and said, "My son, my palms are sweating."

The more Emperor Zhizheng asked, the more surprised he became. Wasn't it said that the Lin family was just average in the local area? But this child is not only knowledgeable, he is also quite knowledgeable about current affairs. Is this child smart, or has the Lin family devoted all their efforts to hiring teachers to teach him since he was young?

Emperor Zhizheng no longer asked about schoolwork, but only asked: "How are you living in the Palace of the Prince of Yue? How does the Prince of Yue treat you? You have solid knowledge. Do you want to go to the palace to be a companion to His Highness the Sixteenth Highness during the Chinese New Year?"

"Mr. Jiang is very good, and His Highness Sixteenth is also very good. His Highness Sixteenth is welcome to visit Prince Yue's Mansion in the future. We can discuss knowledge together and improve each other."

The father and son went to Xingqing Palace where the banquet was held to find Lin Zhaoxia.

"This kid is not picky about food."

Emperor Zhengzheng only made a temporary decision because he saw that the boy in front of him was smart and loved talents. Of course, only Emperor Zhizheng himself knows whether there is any compensation for the King of Yue.

He looked calm and relaxed on the face, but his heart was tense.

Emperor Zhizheng was used to his cold face. Only when he smiled at himself would he be really scared. He turned around and asked about Chang Zhi’s homework.

"I heard from Shiliu that he likes you quite a lot. Wouldn't it be better for you to go to the palace and keep him company? The tutors are very knowledgeable and combine the strengths of various schools. Wouldn't it be better than you following Jiang Wentao?"

He was extremely nervous just now, fearing that he might accidentally offend the emperor and implicate his parents.

The two aunts and empresses of Zhou Jia were specially sent to teach Lin Zhaoxia the etiquette and rules, but they were not reused here. Not only were they not reused, they were not even allowed to serve in the main courtyard.

When Emperor Zhizheng saw the child in front of him, he was not only well-educated but also smart in speech, and he also felt a little fond of him. "Since Xiao Liu likes you, I promise you can come to the palace to play with him in the future."

How could an ordinary civilian family have such insight?

Even the cold food that Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia disliked was eaten happily by him.

In front of all the ladies, the queen didn't do anything to her. She asked a few questions and left her there.

He just pretended that he didn't understand the Queen's words, and just said that he always remembered the Queen's great kindness. He treated Zhou Jia's two aunts as distinguished guests, opened two special courtyards, and sent a maid to serve them, so that the Queen could rest assured.

"I thank the emperor for your kindness, but it is very good for me to live in Prince Yue's Mansion. My aunt loves me, and my uncle treats me as my own son. Mr. Jiang also gives me everything he has, and I dare not let him down."

Seeing that his son answered well, Zhao Guangyuan felt proud.

Lin Zhaoxia just came out of Fengzao Palace. The queen asked about the situation of the two aunts Zhou Jia she sent to the palace, and said if they were no longer needed, why not send them back and replace them with two more people.

Although he was nervous, he didn't get stuck in answering Zhizheng Emperor's questions.

Both father and son were happy to hear this.

"Easy to take care of."

Is it easy to raise him? Can he still not be able to raise his son? He glared at Lin Zhaoxia. Lin Zhaoxia raised her eyebrows at him, and Zhao Guangyuan fed her a chopstick of cold food in a funny way.

The interaction between the couple is seen with envy by many people.

"The King of Yue really likes Princess Yue, otherwise he wouldn't have resisted the decree for her."

Mrs. Sun glared at the concubines beside her bitterly. She would not have brought these concubines into the palace if the master had not ordered them to do so. He glanced at his daughter aside with a worried look, fearing that she might act like a monster again.

Originally, she did not plan to enter the palace, nor did she intend to let Miao Ren enter the palace, but Miao Ren persuaded her, saying that she would not enter the palace would make other people make irresponsible remarks.

Sun Miaoren looked away from King Yue, with a hint of regret in her heart, but smiled at Mrs. Sun, "Mother, my daughter will get married in August."

Seeing that her daughter could let go, Mrs. Sun happily patted her palm and said, "Okay, mother will prepare a thick dowry for you when the time comes, and I will not let you suffer in your husband's family."

The New Year's Eve palace banquet ended quickly, and no one really stayed in the palace to accompany the emperor and the ladies. After all, the ministers still had to go to court tomorrow. The family of three who returned to Prince Yue's Mansion lit firecrackers with the servants, watched the New Year's Eve, and went to sleep.

After not sleeping for an hour or two, Zhao Guangyuan got up again. Lin Zhaoxia sat up next to him, feeling dazed.

"You continue to sleep, there are servants to take care of you." Zhao Guangyuan did not want to leave her to work. Lin Zhaoxia watched in confusion as he put on his court clothes, dressed up, and went out, then fell back on the bed and continued to sleep.

On the first day of the twenty-fifth year of the Zhengzheng Period, there was another annual imperial meeting.

At the beginning of every new year, all the officials in Beijing would go to the palace in formal attire to congratulate them, and officials from other places would go to the palace to pay their respects. Envoys from various countries would also submit letters and pay tribute.

At dawn, the ceremonial officer led the civil and military officials into the Zuotian Hall in order, and stood on the east and west sides according to the grades. There are also envoys who specialize in supervising the officials who doze and whisper to each other. Everyone complained and held their breath, and no one dared to move.

Until the drums and music were playing, the Emperor entered the palace on a dragon carriage and ascended his throne. All the officials kowtowed and congratulated, the mountains shouted long live, the emperor gave wine, and the emperor and his ministers congratulated the beginning of the new year.

"Mom, Happy New Year!" On the first day of the new year, I didn't sleep too much and went to my mother's room early to say New Year greetings.

Lin Zhaoxia looked at her one-year-old son with a smile, and respectfully wished her a new year. She felt proud in her heart. Her son had grown into a little adult.

When he got up, he took a look at him. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He gave him a New Year's red envelope and said, "I hope my son will be healthy and everything will go well in the new year."

"Mother is healthy and happy!"

The mother and son had breakfast happily and went to the meeting hall together to receive congratulations from the servants and gave them New Year money.

"There is no rush today, and your father doesn't know when he will come back. How about we go to Huixian Tower to have a look?"

"Yeah!" Changzhi agreed happily. There will be a new program in Huixian Tower today, and Changzhi wants to go and take a look.

"Mom, do you think there will be no business in Huixian Tower today?"

I have never celebrated the Chinese New Year in Beijing, but in Tianshou Town and Changping, I heard from my grandfather and uncles that many shops are closed during the Chinese New Year, and everyone celebrates the Chinese New Year at home. But my mother said that the shops in Beijing are still open as usual.

It's business as usual, but no one will come.

Very worried.

Both mother and son thought that the business of Huixian Tower would not be very good, but when they arrived, the place of Huixian Tower was actually full of people!

this? Isn’t everyone at home for the New Year?
Isn't it lunch time yet?
Today, Huixianlou will not do morning tea business. Before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it will only serve two main meals, lunch and dinner. As a result, Lin Zhaoxia wanted to come and see the preparations for the show before the lunch business started, but the Huixian Building was full of people?
Jiang Li hurried over and said, "I have met the princess and the young master."

"Happy New Year, uncle shopkeeper."

"Happy New Year, young master." Jiang Li smiled brightly at Chang Zhi.

Lin Zhaoxia asked about the situation, "It seems that everyone knows about the new dishes and new programs on Huixianlou today."

"Yes, we have promoted it to diners years ago and sent people to promote it all over the capital. We just opened today and customers are pouring in. Now the occupancy rate is 70% to 80%."

Jiang Li believed that when lunch time came, the restaurant would be fully occupied again.

"Uncle shopkeeper, aren't you at home celebrating the New Year? Are there so many people in other restaurants?"

Jiang Li answered the question with a smile: "Almost all shops, big and small, in our capital are closed during the New Year. Business is good during the New Year, especially restaurants, teahouses, theaters, theaters, and flower buildings. It is the most lively during the New Year, with friends and family walking around and socializing. In terms of socializing and favors, during the first half of the Chinese New Year, the accounts of various shops have more money than in the usual two or three months.”

While the three of them were talking, many more guests came in downstairs.

When the drum music started playing on the stage on the first floor, Huixian Tower suddenly became quiet. Not only the guests on the first floor looked towards the stage, but also the guests in the private rooms on each floor also left the private rooms and leaned on the railing to look towards the stage on the first floor.

As soon as the festive drum music started, the dancers danced gracefully, and the guests could not take their eyes off the festive and cheerful singing and dancing.

It's just that many people are tired of watching the singing and dancing. Everyone came early to get a seat because they heard that there was a surprise show on the small stage of Huixianlou. Is this it?
"I heard that the palace borrowed many tricksters from Prince Yue's Mansion. Could it be that they are being held back and not returned?"

An insider who attended the palace banquet last night nodded repeatedly, "Last night I saw the change of face in the palace. It was really wonderful. The emperor threw the reward several times. The empresses in the palace also threw it, and the white lady on the stage The flowers are golden.”

"I was in the palace last night, so I will definitely stay in the palace this early in the morning to celebrate the New Year for the emperor and his ladies."

Pity. "Then let's come back another day?"

"No, I heard that Huixianlou has a new dish today. Let's try it first. If it tastes good, we can bring the family over to eat when we go back."

"That's okay." Everyone turned over the menu and started ordering.

When I flipped through the menu, it turned out that there was indeed something new. The dishes on the menu were something I had never heard of before, and they were all festive. What kind of good luck, icing on the cake, promotion step by step, wealth and treasures, good luck and longevity. , God-given marriage, full of descendants, family portrait...

If I don’t come to the previous one, I’m afraid that none of these good things will happen to me.

After ordering, the food was served quickly. Unlike before, where I could tell what the dish was just by looking at the name and label, this fancy dish brought with it a sense of anticipation as if it were a blind box, and I didn’t know if it was delicious or not.

Fortunately, after the dishes were served, the guests were not disappointed. Instead, they were pleasantly surprised and the guests were extremely satisfied.

While we were eating, the show started downstairs.

"Wow!" There was a loud sound, and all the guests who were having a delicious meal in the private room upstairs were thrown out.

I saw two pairs of young maikos jumping down from the four directions of the stage, holding flying streamers with one hand, spinning and flying in the air. Their dance clothes followed the movements of the maikos, gently floating and flying, elegant and drunken. So beautiful! Like a flying fairy.

Everyone had never seen such singing and dancing before, and they were all stunned for a while.

The two female and male dancers each performed various dance moves, such as spinning, somersaults, changing positions, and catching people in the air. The guests kept wowing.

While shouting, they were also worried for fear that they would fall from the sky.

Thrilling and exciting!

The guests forgot to blink. The food no longer tastes good.

Occasionally, I looked up along the rope, and everyone raised their heads, worried about the dancers that the rope was not tied tightly.

The denser the drum beats, the faster the spinning, flipping and air-tossing movements. A female maiko let go of the streamer in her hand and fell quickly...

"Wow!" Everyone's hearts were lifted.

As a result, the maiko gently hooked the ribbon with her foot, and the falling movement stopped.

call. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The male dancer on the other side swung over again, also hooking his feet on the rope, opening his arms, and making a corresponding movement. Is this?

As a result, he saw a female dancer swaying her ribbon and flying towards him...

"Wow!" It's going to fall!

As a result, the female dancer was firmly caught, and a man and a woman were spinning and flying in the air, ecstatically dancing. With the music on the stage, the two seemed to be flying to the ninth floor.

Everyone's hearts were swaying, and they were so entranced.
