"Your Majesty, why are you out here? It's such a cold day, be careful!" Eunuch Hong saw the emperor getting out of the sedan chair and trotted to the emperor's side with a nervous look on his face.
"It doesn't matter!" said the emperor.
"You, climb up the wall and take a look. What's going on? It's all in the dark on New Year's Eve."
Eunuch Hong pointed at the guards beside him and ordered.
The guard flew up the wall.
The yard was dark and there was no New Year atmosphere at all.
"You won't move to another place, right?" Eunuch Hong murmured in his heart. It's unlikely. A few days ago, he also sent the Queen's Deng as a New Year's gift as ordered.
The things were indeed delivered to this yard without any errors.
"Back to father-in-law, there aren't even any lights in the yard." The guard flew down from the wall with a puzzled look on his face.
"Where are the guards? Why are they all at the door and not alert at all?" Eunuch Hong was shocked.
Where were the guards and servants?
Naturally, we drank at Lao Bai’s house.
These people were invited by old lady Bai to drink and have New Year's Eve dinner alone in a room.
Normally they wouldn't dare. After all, it was New Year's Eve and it was only this day in the year, so He Shun acquiesced.
In sharp contrast to the mansion here is Lao Bai's house next door, with red lanterns hanging high opposite, and the lively laughter, punches, and voices in the house piercing the night sky.
The emperor stood in the cold wind and listened attentively.
Bai Banpan pulled He Shun to have a drink at the dinner table. Bai Dazhuang and his brothers did not hesitate to give in. The female family members of the Bai family, except Xie Chuntao and Tian Maimiao, also started drinking.
Little Fukuoka Madoka waited for the children to stop drinking, so he ate melon seeds and played a game of catching stones.
The charcoal in the room was burning warm. Xiao Fuyuan felt very hot, her face was flushed, and she was sweating.
"Brother Azhen, let's sneak out and set off firecrackers." Xiao Fuyuan whispered.
"Okay, okay, let's set off the firecrackers."
Dalang was the first to respond. He had wanted to go out for a long time because he was afraid of being beaten by adults.
Since it was his aunt who suggested it, he was confident.
"Walk."
Little Fuyuan found that the adults didn't pay attention to their children at all, so she stood up, put on her coat, hunched over her waist, and ran out with A Zhen.
Dalang and Erlang and Sanlang followed behind with firecrackers in their arms, and Xiaolang also slipped out together, staggering.
"Auntie, I'm going to get the fire." Dalang ran to the kitchen.
Soon Dalang brought the fire, and Erlang and Sanlang placed the firecrackers on the snow.
"Hey, is there someone outside?"
Xiao Fuyuan frowned slightly, came to the door, listened carefully, and opened the door with a creak.
"Who are you?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.
If you don't stay up late at night, why do you come to their house?
The emperor lowered his head and saw a pretty little girl standing by the door through the lantern hanging on the door.
The little girl raised her eyebrows and clenched her fists, looking fierce.
The emperor's heart almost melted in the cold wind.
"Bold..." The guard beside him was about to draw his sword.
"You are so rude. You are celebrating the New Year. What are you doing in front of my house? And you are drawing a knife. Humph!" Xiao Fuyuan said in a fierce tone.
Eunuch Hong smiled.
He knew this pretty little girl. He was the one who read out the edict that conferred the title of village head last time.
"I've met the Furong village master." Eunuch Hong smiled happily.
Oh, it turned out to be someone from the palace.
"I remember you, you are a good person." Xiao Fukuoka said.
Eunuch Hong was so excited that he almost cried when he was praised by Fulong Township Master. Naturally, he heard the rumors about Furong Township Master who got lucky with whomever.
Xiao Fuyuan turned to face the emperor.
The majestic man in front of you is the boss.
What about the boss? Xiao Fuyuan didn't want to deal with this big guy.
"Are you the village head that I canonize?" the emperor asked with a smile.
Xiao Fu rolled his round eyes and said, "Are you Brother A Zhen's father? You are a bad father. You made Brother A Zhen sad."
As soon as Xiao Fuyuan finished speaking, the surrounding guards were stunned.
Eunuch Hong was even more shocked.
Lord Furong, you are really, really, childish.
So he quietly looked at the emperor. The emperor's eyes flickered, then he smiled and said, "I am A Zhen's father. Where is he now?"
Humph, I usually don't care, but now I'm here to act out the father-son relationship.
Xiao Fuyuan stood by the door, originally wanting to block the door to prevent the emperor from entering.
But when he thought that A Zhen must miss his father, he thought about it, gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted: "Brother A Zhen, your father is here."
A Zhen let go of the firecracker in his hand and was shocked.
Xiao Fuyuan stepped aside from the door, and A Zhen saw the emperor standing in the snow at the door.
"Brother Azhen, your father is here!"
Xiao Fuyuan ran to A Zhen.
"Are you stupid for being happy?"
Xiao Fuyuan thought about the past, when she was in the hospital and her father was outside making money. There were several times when her father came late and she said she would never ignore him again. But every time he came to the hospital, she would get into his arms and ignore his words. Throw it out of the sky early.
Ah Zhen must be so happy!
The emperor naturally saw A Zhen.
I've grown taller, but not fatter.
The emperor strode into the courtyard.
When He Shun heard the commotion, he ran outside without even bothering to put on his coat. He was shocked when he saw the emperor walking into the courtyard!
God!
Who would have thought that the emperor would run from the capital to Shenshu Village!
"Your Majesty." He Shun knelt down with a plop.
Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang and others peeked at the emperor curiously, feeling a little excited in their hearts.
The emperor actually came to their home!
The Bai family members came out of the upper room one after another. People who were different from He Shun took their coats.
When I heard that the man in front of me was the emperor, I was not only shocked, but also earth-shattered. I didn't know what to do.
"Student Bai Panmei has met the emperor, long live the emperor." Bai Panmei was the chief student of Huaicheng Academy after all, and she was the first to react. But when I got nervous, I forgot my name.
Bai Panmei did not kneel down.
This dynasty stipulates that scholars do not have to kneel when they see the emperor.
But the white wooden board, Bai Dazhuang and others turned to stone in the wind and snow. He didn't know whether to kneel down.
Who would have thought that the emperor would actually run into their farmyard.
God!
No one would believe it if I told you.
"A commoner woman has met the emperor." Madam Zhen calmed down her emotions and took the lead to go forward to say hello, about to kneel down.
He was helped up by the emperor.
"Are you my cousin?" The emperor looked at Mrs. Zhen a few times, and her features looked like those of his mother.
"The emperor is the real dragon emperor, and the commoner woman is as beautiful as a willow tree. How can she be related to the emperor?" Zhen said calmly.
"No matter what, you can't escape the bond of blood." The emperor was not angry at all.
The air was frozen by the cold wind for a moment.
"The common people have seen the emperor." After Bai Banban reacted, he led Bai Dazhuang and others to salute.
"A civilian woman has met the emperor." Old Mrs. Bai, who also reacted, led Xie Chuntao and others forward to salute.
"Everyone get up, everyone get up." The emperor personally helped Old Mrs. Bai up, swept over the Bai family one by one, and nodded.
"Well, Your Majesty, it's cold outside, why don't you go in and sit down?" Bai Banban blurted out in desperation.
The emperor smiled and said: "Just listen to my cousin-in-law and go in and sit down."
Bai Banban was stunned by the cousin's call.
