The women and children in the people's homes had already gone to bed, but were woken up by the men who were staying up to watch the fireworks.

In addition to the large fireworks set off by the guards for the whole city to see, there were also a bunch of small handheld fireworks such as fairy wands, Gatling guns, handheld waterfall kings, colorful mushrooms, etc. for everyone to play with.

The children, young men and ladies were having a great time, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time in the square outside the palace.

Xia Youan, Xing Yinan and Xie Youzhi were running around the square.

The palace curfew had long passed, but Emperor Jing did not drive anyone away.

This year is different, so let's indulge them for once. The palace rules can be changed.

The fireworks lasted for an entire hour, and at exactly midnight, several giant fireworks exploded.

"I wish the emperor good health and longevity, and prosperity for the country." Ten big words appeared in the sky.

One wave of words went down, and then another wave rose into the air.

"The emperor's grace is vast and boundless, and the nation's might is unparalleled in all directions."

"Dragons travel the world, and blessings flourish forever."

"The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the world is prosperous."

"May the people be blessed with happiness every day and good health every year."

Happy New Year!

With the words "Happy New Year", the fireworks completely disappeared from the night sky.

It must be said that Xia Youan's flattery hit the mark. The excited Emperor Xiaojing almost burst into tears and kept asking Chu Moyuan, "Who prepared this?"

"Apart from your daughter-in-law, who else could be so childish?" Chu Moyuan criticized proudly.

This caused Emperor Xiao Jing to complain to Chu Moyuan and Chu Linzhou, "You two are so childish, show me how to behave!"

The two touched their noses and smiled awkwardly.

After the fireworks ended, everyone walked home in the night, talking about tonight's palace banquet along the way.

Xia Ronghai couldn't help but sigh, "How many years has it been since we've had such a festive New Year?"

"I don't remember. I almost forgot what it was like to celebrate Chinese New Year as a child. This year I finally got to experience it again."

It was New Year's Day, before dawn.

A roar came from Chu Chengze's bedroom, "Where is this prince's hair? You bunch of trash, what use are you? I'm afraid someone wouldn't even notice if their head was chopped off!"

The guards knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Prince, spare my life!"

"roll!"

Chu Chengze woke up in pain before dawn. The moment he woke up, he felt a chill on his head. When he reached out to touch it, he found that his hair was gone.

Chu Chengze clenched his right fist and pounded the bed repeatedly, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Chu Moyuan, just wait!"

At this time, at the gate of the palace, all the officials came in with dark circles under their eyes to wish the emperor a happy new year.

After paying New Year's greetings, Emperor Jing announced that he would suspend court and stop writing for half a month, and resume morning court after the Lantern Festival.

General Shan and his family, as well as Censor Xie stayed in the palace. Emperor Jing quickly changed into modern clothes and boarded a helicopter to Beichuan.

The court officials had just left the palace, but before they even reached home, their emperor had already hurriedly left the capital.

When the eldest prince was carried into the palace to file a complaint, he found that everyone had left.

"Father, how many years has it been since you last took a day off from work?" Xia Youan asked.

Emperor Xiao Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Is Your Majesty going to take a break as well?"

"Of course, you're not a donkey in the production team. You still need to take regular breaks. Look at my dad. He takes two days off a week. Even the company going bankrupt can't stop him from taking them."

Liang Peishan slapped Xia Youan on the back of the head. "You naughty kid, what are you talking about your dad? Taking time off is for better work!"

Xia Youan stuck out his tongue and said to Emperor Jing: "Did you hear that? You can be a better slave if you're off duty!"

"Hahahaha~ It seems like I really am just an ox or a horse, and that donkey from the production team you mentioned. For so many years, I've been busy for Da Chu and haven't even had a chance to live my own life.

Thanks to An An's blessing, I am taking a day off today. I will not care about the common people or the civil and military officials."

After going to the modern era, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty suddenly understood. Why work so hard? If he took a break, would the Chu Kingdom still perish?

Look at his son, he always leaves Beichuan to others and goes there to accompany his wife, but isn’t he still developing?

"That's right. From now on, you should give him a two-day weekend. He can go to court for five days and then have two days off. Why are there so many important things that require you to gather together every day to discuss them?"

I've also secretly read those memorials. They're just trivial matters, family matters, greetings, and so on. Isn't it a pure waste of your time to submit them all? "

Emperor Xiao Jing nodded in agreement, "Well, when I get back, I'll slowly improve it. I really can't work so hard anymore!"

The plane landed quickly in a cheerful atmosphere. After Chu Moyuan sent the people to the modern era, he returned with Xie Youzhi to pick up the rest of the people.

Back at the Xia family's old house, Zhang Peng first drove the first group of people back to Dijingyuan. By the time everyone arrived, it was already evening.

They began to pack their luggage again without stopping.

Censor Xie and the Emperor looked at the entire cloakroom full of clothes and were worried about what to bring. They wanted to take everything that looked good, so what should they do?

Xie Youzhi pushed open the door of Xie Yushi's room and peeked inside. The old man had spread out his clothes all over the bed. He was just worrying that the suitcase was too small to fit everything in.

Xie Youzhi came over and lay down on the bed. "Grandpa, do you need me to help you pack your suitcase?"

Xie Yushi waved his hand, "No need, I can do it myself, just help me find a few more suitcases!"

Xie Youzhi: “…”

Xie Youzhi jumped up from the bed and asked, "Grandpa, do you have so much luggage to take with you?"

Xie Yushi pointed at the clothes covering the bed and said, "Yes, I will take all these clothes with me. I will wear different clothes every day."

Xie Youzhi looked at the bed full of winter clothes and asked speechlessly, "You don't think we're going to the wilderness to survive, do you? There's nothing we can't buy locally, so you have to bring all these clothes with you."

After saying that, he casually picked up a large cotton coat and said, "Don't tell me you're going to wear this when you go there?"

Xie Yushi glared at him, snatched Xie Youzhi's favorite cotton coat from his hand, and said, "Nonsense, this one looks so good!"

Xie Youzhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he approached Xie Yushi, "Old man, you know we are going to a tropical island, right? You know that, right?"

Xie Yushi was concentrating on choosing clothes. "I know, this doesn't affect my desire to wear them out at all."

Xie Youzhi put his hands on Xie Yushi's shoulders and said, "Come on, old man, look into my eyes and repeat where we are going to travel."

"Tropical island, you little brat, you've told me that so many times. Do you think your grandfather has lost his mind?" Censor Xie was very dissatisfied with his grandson's attitude towards him as if he had Alzheimer's.

"Haha~ Okay, then you can take whatever you want. But don't ask me to buy you clothes again later." Xie Youzhi said as he left the room.
