Although during this period of time, Zhu Yunhuan was often busy reviewing memorials, spreading his own plans, mediating between civil officials and military generals, etc., he rarely had time, and even saw his two closest sisters very rarely.

But Zhu Yunhuan was very familiar with this voice.

It was the voice of elder sister Zhu Chaofang.

Now, Zhu Yunhuan formally offered sacrifices to heaven, reported to the temple, and prayed to the country...even the reign title has been completely changed.

He has truly become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the ruler of a country, the most powerful and noble person in the world.

Of course.

At this moment.

Hear this sound.

Zhu Yunhuan's heart still beat faster out of habit, and he was secretly happy.

For nothing else.

But in the past, every New Year, the entire East Palace was filled with joy and excitement, with palace servants coming and going in an endless stream, and everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.

Except for him, Zhu Yunxun...

Once upon a time.

On the surface.

He was repeatedly oppressed and controlled by the Lu family and had to put himself in the lowest position in order to survive.

He had to obey orders submissively. Even though the person sitting on the throne in the East Palace was his nominal biological father, Zhu Yunhuan could only watch as Lu, who was sitting beside him, embraced her children, surrounded Zhu Biao, toasted each other, and had a great time...

The banquet in the Eastern Palace on the first night of the New Year was just a passing cloud to him.

But this is actually not the most important thing. Although he is called your biological father, he is not really your biological father. There is no need to be sad about it.

And yet he knew it at the same time.

His future was always bleak. In the early days, he lived under the watchful eyes of the Lu family. When Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he couldn't even become a vassal.

Even if he thought about clinging to Zhu Di, it was difficult and there were other concerns. After Zhu Di ascended the throne after the Jingnan Rebellion, he might still have to be thrown to Fengyang by Zhu Di to be guarded, just like in history.

Celebrating the New Year may just mean that he has taken another step towards that pathetic ending.

This situation.

No matter how much experience he has.

It is inevitable to feel lost.

At that time, the only people who could be considered a little warmth in this gloomy and cold environment were Zhu Chaofang and Zhu Xuening.

They will be there after the banquet in the East Palace.

Taking the millet cakes (rice cakes) she made herself and the Tusu wine they had prepared in advance with rice wine, she secretly ran to her deserted yard.

As if nothing happened.

I said to myself with a smile: "On the first day of the first lunar month, I must eat millet cakes and drink Tusu! This will ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters, and plague, and gather my energy. Only then will I be healthy and free of illness in the coming year, and live a more comfortable life. If you don't eat or drink much at the banquet, that won't do!"

"My Yunxun, I wish you good health in the new year, immune to evil and poison!"

At that time, the two sisters, who were also young, tried their best to hide the pain in their eyes and just smiled at him, which was very cute.

Zhu Yunhuan originally thought.

I have a lot of experience, and no matter what I look like, I am already as mature as I can be mentally.

But at that time.

But he still gets his eyes hot because of the two cute little girls.

Later, every year at this time, he couldn't help but secretly look forward to and wait. When he heard those two familiar and childish voices in his cold and deserted yard, he felt particularly happy.

It has nothing to do with past or present status.

It is just a habit and subconscious reaction formed over a long period of time.

For this reason, Zhu Yunhuan, who had been running around all day, suddenly felt that most of his fatigue had gone away.

She immediately sat up, her eyes brightening as she said, "Big sister and second sister are here!?"
