New Year's Eve.

It is the time for every family to reunite and get together to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Even the royal family is no different from ordinary people at this moment. It is nothing more than just dozens of times larger in scale, and there are more banquets to be given.

Since he inherited the throne and ascended the throne, New Year's Eve, he should be regarded as the most relaxing moment of the year for the emperor. He is very diligent, and at this moment he can temporarily put down the state affairs for a few hours and enjoy the happiness brought by family affection and love.

Compared with his father and grandparents, they are indeed qualified to enjoy family affection and love.

After all, unlike his "fiendish" fathers and grandparents, he was dedicated, even though it had been ten years since he ascended the throne, there was still only the queen in the harem. For this reason, he even rudely suppressed the many civil officials from the outer court who used the issue of offspring to attack the queen and him.

Therefore, compared to his father and grandfather who still need to consider competing for favor in the harem when enjoying family affection and love, and then worry about whether the harem will affect the outer court, he does not need to have such troubles at all.

God is always fair. While he gave up on the beauty in the world, he also allowed him to enjoy the pure family affection and love that hundreds of emperors had never enjoyed in the past.

However, on New Year's Eve this year, the emperor no longer had the feeling of relaxation and enjoyment that he used to be.

His young sister, Princess Zhu Jinxuan, has not been able to send any news back since she escaped from the palace by stealing the way to replace the pillars several months ago.

This not only made him more worried about the safety of his young sister, but also made him worried that the palace maid who pretended to be Zhu Jinxuan would reveal her identity at the banquet held in the harem.

By then, this huge scandal would not only cause him to be sent fiercely by many important officials and censors, but also make Zhu Jinxuan's reputation completely unheard of. At that time, for the majesty of the royal family and for the sake of etiquette, he would have to be forced to punish Zhu Jinxuan.

And this is undoubtedly unacceptable for him who values ​​family affection very much.

Therefore, although he seemed to be having various comments with many important officials who came to the palace to participate in the banquet, in fact, he was always thinking about the banquet in the harem without thinking, for fear that "bad news" would come from there before the banquet ended.

...

When the emperor was worried about Zhu Jinxuan, his young girl could not see any loss, longing, and other emotions on her face. On the contrary, she was smiling happily at this time.

Although her cheeks, which were originally as bright as a jade plate in the sky, were stained with a few wisps of gray smoke and dust for some reason, her phoenix eyes raised because of her smile and her white teeth exposed because of her smile undoubtedly meant that she was really happy at this moment.

"Okay, the food is ready, hurry up and wash your hands and face."

Since Zhu Jinxuan escaped from the palace, the emperor has been identified as the culprit for Zhu Jinxuan's escape from the palace. Bai Shier, who was holding grudges in his heart, walked in. Looking at Zhu Jinxuan who was still "silly smirking", he couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly.

"Look at you, your face is like a little cat."

Putting down the shoddy pottery bowl in his hand that was still steaming, Bai Shier reached out and rubbed Zhu Jinxuan's nose.

"Hmph, I'm also saying that the dust on your hands has been applied to my face."

After reaching out to knock off Bai Shier's hand, Zhu Jinxuan deliberately raised her face, frowned, and shouted at Bai Shier with a complaining look on her face.

However, the smile that still shone in her eyes obviously betrayed the true feelings in her heart at this moment.

"Okay, it's all my fault. Go and wash it quickly. If you slow down for a while, these two bowls of dumplings you cooked with your own hands will be cold."

...

Two young men and women who don’t worry about money rented a house the day after they met and treated it as their home, making people feel like they were a newly married couple.

However, if they knew that the dumplings in front of them were bought from their neighbors with money, this feeling would immediately fall into the teenage girls' house-playing behavior.

At least, in the eyes of the neighbor who used less than forty dumplings with tofu stuffing from Bai Shier for more than one silver, the young couple looked more like the young master and lady from a wealthy family elopement.

Otherwise, how could a normal couple be so extravagant?

Of course, Zhu Jinxuan, who was waiting at home, obviously had no idea about her neighbor's views.

Even though she has seen some of the sufferings of the world along the way.

As for Bai Shier, he might be able to see some clues from the other party's eyes, but for him, the two things that are worth one cent and Zhu Jinxuan's happiness are put on the balance, and there is no need to think about which one is more important.

As long as Zhu Jinxuan is happy, even if he spends one or two silver dollars, he will definitely enjoy it.

And Zhu Jinxuan was indeed very happy.

Even when she was learning how to burn fire from Bai Shier, she experienced several failures, experienced the terrifying moment when her hand was stinged by a small thorn on the fire, and experienced the terrifying moment when she was blowing into the furnace, she almost got burned to her hair.

When she really learned to burn the fire and boil a pot of water herself, her heart and body, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, were constantly cheering and thrilling.

So much so that he successfully completed the task of burning fire and was "driven" back into the house by Bai Shier, and his face still had a bright smile.

...

When Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan were enjoying their first supper, they were in trouble on the day when Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan finally met, and even almost lost the Qinglong in Bai Shier's hands, they had reached Yangzhou Prefecture, a hundred miles away from Yingtian.

After several consecutive days of high-intensity travel, he finally entered Yangzhou Prefecture before New Year's Eve.

Qinglong has experienced careful consideration when choosing Yangzhou Prefecture as his next stop to leave Yingtian.

But the most fundamental reason is that Yangzhou Prefecture is safe enough.

Although Yangzhou prefect committed suicide by the Yangzhou prefect and the burning of the whole family, Yangzhou has become the focus of attention of countless people, attracting countless people, and then triggering a series of things, which can even be regarded as the beginning of everything.

But that was already half a year ago.

Time is always ruthless.

After discovering that no useful information could be found in Yangzhou Prefecture, the people who had previously flocked to Yangzhou Prefecture also left Yangzhou Prefecture at a faster speed.

Even because they were investigated too frequently and in detail, no one would return to Yangzhou Prefecture for the second investigation again.

Therefore, Qinglong looked at the entire prefecture of Yingtian radiating and found that Yangzhou Prefecture was the most suitable place.

Not only is it safe enough, there will not be too many forces coming to disturb the rest and recuperation of Tianyanmen Dongjitian under his leadership, but also because it is close enough to Yingtian, it can also promptly find out many news from Yingtian.
