If not abolished

Chapter 393 Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new

The next day, as soon as Nuannuan woke up, she insisted on giving gifts to the people in the palace. The couple couldn't beat her, so they had to ask someone to take her away.

"Why did she get up so early? Why don't you go and follow her, Your Highness?" Hu Shanxiang had already fallen back on the bed. She closed her eyes, patted the person next to her and said.

"Let Wu Cheng and the others follow us, nothing should happen." Zhu Zhanji was still very relieved in the palace.

The two of them continued to sleep peacefully.

"Little ancestor, please run slower. Tell me where you are going and I will carry you in my arms." Lingzhi and Feiran also followed out.

"I'll walk first. I'll hold you when I'm tired." Nuannuan didn't want to be held yet.

"Okay, then go slowly and don't fall."

"Okay, let's hold hands." Nuannuan stretched out her hand.

"Okay, Nuannuan is so good." Lingzhi held her hand and continued to ask: "Where are we going first?"

"Well, go ahead, Great Grandfather."

"Okay, today is New Year's Eve, His Majesty is not attending court, we can go over and see it."

When Zhu Di built the Prince's Palace, he chose a good location, not far from places like the Qianqing Palace.

"Manager Wang, look who came then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess?" The young eunuch saw Wu Cheng and Lingzhi, while Nuannuan was surrounded and did not see them for a while.

"What are you looking at? That's obviously the little prince, why don't you come to greet him?" Or else Wang Jinghong is the chief steward? He looked closely and saw the little man.

"Butler Wang, is His Majesty here? The young prince is looking for His Majesty." Wu Cheng also walked over first.

"Yes, yes, His Majesty is here. Why did you let the little prince come here by himself today?" Wang Jinghong was wondering why the little prince let this little guy out today, as he was the treasure of the palace.

"Just yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the Little Prince out of the palace to play. The Little Prince bought gifts for the people in the palace, and he was clamoring to come over to give the gifts early in the morning. His Royal Highness and the Queen were still resting, so they let us bring him out." Wu Cheng explained briefly.

"Oh, your Highness is really thoughtful. I wonder if the first place he comes to is the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

"Of course, your Highness is very clever." Wu Cheng bowed and said, "Please let Steward Wang know."

"No need to pass the message, just go in directly. His Majesty won't say anything." Wang Jinghong led his men in directly.

Sure enough, as soon as Nuannuan entered, she shouted loudly, "Grandfather Huang." This was the longest title she knew.

"Nuannuan, why are you here?" Zhu Di had his head down reviewing memorials, but he immediately looked up and stood up when he heard the voice.

"Your Majesty, the young prince came to see you specially." Wang Jinghong immediately assisted, "The young prince sent you a gift specially. He was the first one to come to the Qianqing Palace early in the morning."

"Really?" Zhu Di looked down at the little person in his arms.

"Yeah." Nuannuan nodded heavily.

"What does Nuannuan want to give to the Emperor?" Zhu Di was very curious. What could such a small person give him?

"Lingzhi, sister." Nuannuan called.

Lingzhi immediately handed over a big Jinhe. Zhu Di had never found one so big, so he signaled Wang Jinghong to open it.

After Wang Jinghong opened it, what came into his sight was a bow.

"Is this the gift that Nuannuan chose for me?" Zhu Di's eyes were filled with surprise.

"Yes, Grandfather Emperor, fighting a war, that's good." Nuannuan spoke intermittently, but Zhu Di understood the general meaning.

"Okay, when the time comes, Grandfather Huang will use the bow that Nuannuan gave me when he goes into battle. You are such a good child, and it is worth my love for you." Zhu Di's heart was instantly filled with satisfaction.

"Do you like it?" Nuannuan asked when she saw Zhu Di so happy.

"I like it. The gift Nuan Nuan gave me is very good. I like it very much."

"There are still many more. I want to leave." Nuannuan felt that it was enough. There were still many people left, so she wanted to leave.

"What?" Zhu Di didn't understand at once.

"Your Majesty, the little princess said that she has prepared gifts for other people and she is going to deliver them to them," Lingzhi immediately explained to her.

"Oh. So that's the case. Then the Emperor Taigong will accompany you. Where are you going later?" Zhu Di completely ignored the fact that he still had government affairs to attend to.

"Grandmother Wang." Nuannuan said without hesitation.

"Okay, let's go to Yikun Palace together."

In this way, the group went to Concubine Wang in a mighty manner.

"Your Majesty, why are you here, and bring Nuannuan with you?" Concubine Wang was surprised.

"Grandmother Wang, a gift." Nuannuan spoke first.

"Oh, Nuannuan, are you here for a New Year's gift? I've prepared it for you a long time ago. Come and get it tomorrow." Concubine Wang thought Nuannuan was here to ask for a gift.

"No." Buxiang Nuannuan shook her head.

"Nuannuan specially prepared gifts for us." Zhu Di explained immediately.

"Ah...I see. Nuannuan is really sensible."

The hairpin given to Concubine Wang was a pearl hairpin. Although it was not as gorgeous as the ones in the palace, it was more thoughtful. Concubine Wang naturally loved it and put it on her head immediately.

"It looks good." Nuannuan commented.

"It's Nuan Nuan's choice."

Afterwards, Zhu Di accompanied Nuannuan to the Eastern Palace again. The prince got a writing brush and the princess also got a pearl hairpin.

"Yours is not as good as mine." Zhu Di immediately compared them, and found that the writing brush was not as good as his bow.

"Grandfather, you don't like it?" Nuannuan looked at the prince with a neutral expression.

"No, it was given to me by Nuannuan. Grandfather likes it and will use it to write in the future." The prince simply thought that what his father said was childish.

"Well, the handwriting that Nuannuan gave me must be beautiful." Zhu Di just made a mindless compliment, saying that his own child was good in everything.

"There are so many of them. Are they all for giving away?" The Crown Princess saw that there were still a lot of people holding things.

"Yes, aunt, uncle, everyone, has some." Nuannuan counted with her fingers.

"Let them all come directly to the Eastern Palace, so that Nuannuan doesn't have to run around. It's early in the morning, and she has to go to the Qianqing Palace, the Yiku Palace, and the Eastern Palace. She must be exhausted." Zhu Di said so. However, after coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Nuannuan was carried all the way here in the sedan chair by him, and she didn't walk many steps. But since he said so, who could say anything? The prince immediately ordered them to call everyone over.

When everyone arrived, Nuannuan pointed at them one by one and asked people to give them the things.

"Look at how thoughtful Nuannuan is. She even remembers to bring gifts for you elders. You should also prepare something for this New Year." Zhu Di felt so distressed when he saw that his precious great-granddaughter had given him so many gifts that he had none left. He immediately thought about giving her more gifts later.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Emperor. We have already prepared a gift for Nuannuan and will give it to her later. Nuannuan, your uncle will bring it to you later." Zhu Zhanjun really loves his niece and likes her very much.

"Okay, I'll get it myself." When Nuannuan heard that she also had a gift, she was very excited and couldn't wait for it to be delivered to her, so she went to get it herself.

In addition to gifts for everyone, Nuannuan also bought a lot of food and shared it with them. She was too young to eat much of it.

"Young Prince, all the food has been distributed. You haven't eaten yet. Why don't we go back and eat something before getting it? Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen will be worried." Lingzhi saw that everything was almost done.

"Nuannuan hasn't eaten yet. How are you serving her? Are you hungry? Quickly ask the kitchen to prepare complementary food for the baby." The Crown Princess asked with concern when she heard that her granddaughter had not eaten yet.

"The little prince got up in the morning and drank milk, and then hurried out." Lingzhi explained that he hadn't eaten anything at all. They didn't dare to bring him out.

"Alright, alright, let Nuan Nuan eat in the East Palace before leaving."

"Grandma, I drank the milk." Nuannuan said to herself.

"Don't do this next time. Eat a full meal before coming out. The things won't run away, and neither will we. There's no rush." ​​The Crown Princess naturally knew that her granddaughter wanted to give them the gifts early. She was both moved and distressed.

"Your grandmother is right, Nuannuan, remember this next time. Also, next time I'll have someone go directly to get it from you so you don't have to run around." Zhu Di also echoed.

"But you are the elders." Mom said that we should respect our elders. It's not good for her to send gifts and ask them to run around, right?

"It's okay. I said that you can have someone send it to you later, or ask your uncles and aunts to come to you to get it." Since Zhu Di had spoken, the others naturally had no objection.

"Yes, next time Nuannuan can just ask uncle and aunt to get it." Everyone nodded.

"Okay." After hearing what they all said, Nuannuan had no objection.

"Okay, eat first. You must be hungry after being busy for so long." The Crown Princess said as she was about to feed her.

"I eat by myself." Hu Shanxiang always let her eat by herself.

"Okay, our Nuannuan is so good and eats by herself." The Crown Princess said with relief.

"The Crown Princess has taught Nuannuan very well." Zhu Di praised.

"Shan Xiang is indeed right. Your Majesty and Agui have good taste. They immediately took a liking to such a good person." The Crown Princess also praised them.

"That's right, Agui has always had a good vision." Zhu Di has even more say as he has raised his grandson himself.

By the time all this was over, most of the morning had passed. After Zhu Zhanji and his wife got up, they had breakfast. After a long time, their daughter still hadn't come back. When they asked, they found out that she was still in the East Palace.

"Your Highness, it's so late. Let's go and take a look, or mother will say something."

"Well, let's go and take a look, and bring her back. It must be that my father and mother don't want Nuannuan to come back." Zhu Zhanji was very sure that this kind of thing happened more than once or twice. As soon as the two elders saw their granddaughter, they refused to let her go.

"They like Nuannuan, too." Hu Shanxiang was happy to see this. The elders did not love Nuannuan less just because she was a girl. Instead, they doted on her even more.

"That's right. Girls are born to be pampered. If you have a legitimate son in the future, you can't pamper him so recklessly. You must discipline him strictly."

"Your Highness, do you think that God will give us a legitimate son this time?" She had always been afraid that she would repeat the path of Hu Shanxiang in history and not give birth to a legitimate son for Zhu Zhanji. But last time, Hu Shanxiang told her that Nuannuan was not Shunde in the previous life, which meant that they were different, so it was not impossible for her to give birth to a legitimate son in this life.

"Yes, since God has given us a chance to start over, it is for us to make up for our regrets. In this life, all our regrets will be fulfilled." Zhu Zhanji firmly believed that this time, they would have a legitimate son, he would not die young, and he would not give birth to those two unlucky things like before.

"Your Highness is right."

As they talked, they arrived at the East Palace.

"Greetings to His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess." As the two came in, they saw a huge crowd of people.

As soon as Nuan Nuan heard their voices, the person who had just been sitting there eating immediately slid down from the stool, ran to them, and shouted, "Mom, Dad."

"Slow down." The Crown Princess didn't have time to support her.

"Have you delivered all the things?" Zhu Zhanji squatted down and talked to his daughter.

"Well, I've delivered it. I'm very happy." Nuannuan was in a very good mood.

"Nuannuan is more filial than you." Zhu Di said with relief.

"The disciple surpasses the master." Zhu Zhanji didn't feel anything at all and was very proud of it.

"That's right. I told her that next time for something like this, she doesn't have to run around so much. Just ask someone to send her there. Also, why did you let Nuannuan go out so early in the morning without eating anything? It's okay this time, but next time, I won't forgive you."

In this way, Zhu Zhanji took on the anger from several elders.

"Yes, yes, there won't be a next time. This time it was my grandson's negligence." What could Zhu Zhanji do? He could only keep a low profile.

Nuannuan didn't quite understand why he had to say daddy.

"Don't say it, Daddy." Nuannuan protected Zhu Zhanji.

"Look, look, Nuannuan knows how to protect you."

Seeing this, no one said anything more.

In the blink of an eye, it was night, New Year's Eve, the day for family reunion.

"Time flies, and it's New Year's Eve again. Last year, Nuannuan was still a baby in our arms, but this year she can already play with them." Concubine Wang and the Crown Princess said with emotion.

"Who said it wasn't? The children grow one year older, and we grow one year older." The Crown Princess pulled Nuannuan over and said, "Don't run too fast, or you'll sweat and catch a cold." As she spoke, she wiped her with a handkerchief.

"Grandma, look, my second uncle made it." Nuannuan showed her a rabbit lantern.

"It's really beautiful." After the Crown Princess tidied her up, she let her go and play.

Nuannuan ran into the crowd again. After a while, Zhu Zhanqi's family arrived. Their daughter Yaoyao was about the same age as Nuannuan.

"Sister, do you want to play with me?" Nuannuan waved to her politely.

Although Yaoyao is older, she is timid. She wants to go but doesn't dare to, so she hides behind her mother.

Wang Jundai saw it and pulled her, "Yaoyao, do you want to play with your sister?"

Yaoyao feels good about Wang Jun Daifei, "I want to, but I'm afraid."

"Don't be afraid, mother will take you there, my sister is very good."

"Ah."

Sun Ruoji was reluctant at first, but she couldn't say anything in public, so she had to wait until she got back to talk about it.

Zhu Zhanqi didn't care about this. He thought it was normal for children to play together, and the grudges of adults should not involve children.

In this way, another year passed, and Zhu Di was full of expectations for the new year.
