The New Year's Eve party has come to an end.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a happy night. Because he was getting tired and sleepy easily due to his old age, he asked Yun Qi to carry Wen Gui back to Mu Yuanjun and then went back to rest.

Arriving near the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Concubine Guo Hui sitting here, looking up at the sky with unfinished thoughts.

"Guo Hui, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and asked curiously.

Concubine Guo Hui stood up and bowed, and said with a smile: "Looking at the fireworks, you don't have to think about it to know that the fireworks are the finale of His Highness's performance. He has been thinking about it for a long time and prepared it. I just watched it, it's so beautiful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed: "It is indeed beautiful. We have never seen the moment when fireworks all over the city bloom at the same time."

Concubine Guo Hui replied: "Not only in the palace, but also in the entire Jinling City, His Highness's fireworks can be seen. Tomorrow morning, the people will definitely talk about it and it will be praised for a year."

After a pause, she took Zhu Yuanzhang's arm and said with a smile: "His Majesty must be very happy tonight. I can see that His Majesty's smile has never stopped."

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile became even brighter and he asked: "Is there any?"

"Of course!"

Concubine Guo Hui still understood Lao Zhu very well. She snuggled close to Lao Zhu and said happily: "Tonight, the family is full of children and grandchildren. The family is lively and happy. What's even more happy is that His Highness has grown up and can think about family ties. Today I have prepared such a lively party for Your Majesty."

A smile broke out on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and those wrinkles became deeper. He gently patted Guo Huifei's hand and returned to the room together.

Those floor heaters are warm and familiar, taking away all the coldness outside.

"What's the point of watching your sweet grandson grow up?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were still very good, and he said with great expectation: "It would be satisfying if we could see our little great-grandson grow up. But it's a pity that at that time, I was just an old bastard who has been immortal for a thousand years! My good grandson is still waiting. If you take over our position, you can’t live too long, just do it appropriately.”

Concubine Guo Hui said: "His Majesty is telling nonsense again. It's a happy day. If His Highness hears it, he will definitely not let you go."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "If you don't tell your grandson, he won't know. Alas...the older you get, the more you feel that you can't keep up mentally. It's no good even if you don't recognize your age."

He stretched, took off his coat, threw it to Yun Qi, and said, "Don't go back tonight. Rest with us. It's better than being alone."

"Okay!"

Guo Huifei still readily agreed.

We are all an old married couple, so there is no need to be reserved or anything like that.

Zhu Yuanzhang's happiness tonight is from the bottom of his heart. For so many years, tonight's New Year's Eve has made him feel satisfied.

When Guo Huifei saw him happy, she was happy together.

At this age, she doesn't pursue much. In addition to being with Lao Zhu, she is also thinking about her son and grandson coming to the palace to meet her tomorrow.

Then I felt very satisfied.

Zhu Gaochi followed Zhu Di and slowly walked out of the palace gate.

Zhu Di was a commoner. In order to appear poor in front of Lao Zhu and regain some goodwill, he traveled without a carriage and only brought two servants and Zhu Gaochi with him, walking back slowly.

Even though Zhu Di and the others offered to give them a ride, Zhu Di still refused and said, "Boss, with his weight, I'm afraid he will be damaged in your carriage, and even the horse may not be able to pull the carriage."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Why do I always get hurt?

But it didn't matter to him.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. Not only is the palace bustling, but it is also outside the palace. There is no curfew in Ming Dynasty, so there are many places to have fun.

After a fireworks show, the city became more lively, with lights and colors everywhere.

Even without carrying a lantern, you can still see the road at night.

"Dad!" Zhu Gaochi followed from behind and said hesitantly: "There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

Zhu Di said casually without looking back: "Say it!"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Both His Majesty and His Highness are people who value family ties, and tonight is the best performance."

Zhu Di asked: "What do you want to say?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "I think there must be something else going on with Dad that he is hiding from Grandpa Huang and His Highness. Why don't you go and confess it? With how much they value family ties, they will definitely not do anything to you. If... …”

He looked at Zhu Di's back and continued: "In the future, when Grandpa Huang is gone, I don't even know what His Highness will do to you."

Zhu Di's pace was a little faster than Zhu Gaochi's.

While listening to Zhu Gaochi's words, he walked quickly, and his back looked very lonely.

I don't know when it started. Zhu Di gave Zhu Gaochi the feeling that he was getting more and more lonely. If he continued like this, he would be separated from his relatives.

Can you not be lonely?

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Di hummed softly: "Boss, I don't know what you are talking about. There are some things you should not say nonsense. What do I hide? Nothing."

This is what he is, and he won't admit it even to death.

"Dad, don't kid yourself."

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: "Do you just want to see my mother being liquidated with you? It doesn't matter how many of us brothers are, we just feel sorry for my mother!"

Xu Miaoyun is a very good mother. Their brothers have always respected her, and Zhu Di also respects her very much. As long as Xu Miaoyun is taken out, Zhu Gaochi thinks it may be feasible.

However, Zhu Di didn't know what he was thinking.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Zhu Di does not know much now. Yao Guangxiao has done a lot without telling him, and he does not ask. In fact, it is not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't find Yao Guangxiao to ask.

"Go back! Stop talking nonsense."

Zhu Di was not angry, nor did he say he wanted to teach Zhu Gaochi a lesson.

Keep walking ahead.

Zhu Gaochi cautiously followed Zhu Di and said, "I have never been able to get your love, dad, and I can't convince you anymore, alas!"

Regarding things in Peking, he almost couldn't help but say it several times.

But considering Zhu Xuan's plan and ensuring the safety of his son Zhu Zhanji, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.

If told, it might make Zhu Di change his ways, but it might also destroy everything about Zhu Xuan.

In that case, Zhu Xuan would not let their family go.

Sometimes knowing too much can be a problem.

I know it, but I don't dare to say it out. If I keep it in my heart, it will easily lead to internal injuries.

Got home.

"You are finally back."

Xu Miaoyun did not enter the palace, but just waited at home. She looked at the faces of their father and son and asked curiously: "What happened today? Your faces are a bit strange, but I heard that it is very lively tonight. Is it okay for you to do this?" Could it be that he was reprimanded by His Majesty?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "It's nothing like that. I just drank too much and am a little tired."

To explain simply, the father and son went back to rest.

Xu Miaoyun couldn't understand, what happened to them? (End of chapter)
