On the seventh year of Hongwu, on New Year's Eve, Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Qi was shouted by the inner officials early in the morning and dressed neatly. Then, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang and a family member of the old Zhu family to worship his ancestors on New Year's Eve.

Of course, there is no need to go to Fengyang County. An ancestral hall is set up in Yingtian Prefecture, which is also a place for worshipping ancestors.

The ancestor worship on New Year's Eve did not need to be so grand. It was similar to the ordinary people's homes. They knelt down and burned paper, prayed for blessings and wishes. There were no ministers who followed them, but only some eunuchs and palace maids followed.

After worshiping ancestors, I prepared to attend the New Year’s Eve family banquet in the evening. This free time is the time for children to play wildly.

Of course, Zhu Qi is not a child anymore. He got up too early in the morning and was still sleepy at this time. He immediately went back to bed and went back to sleep.

The main reason is that I lack sleep during this period. Since I returned to Yingtian Mansion, I have to read early every morning, with morning classes in the morning and afternoon classes in the afternoon. This prince’s life has given Zhu Qi the feeling of being a high school student.

Of course, this is not because Zhu Qi was inspired by the Zhu Huan case and decided to work hard to become a Prince of Ming who loves to study, but because of the newly appointed chief official of the Liao King, Zheng Shiyuan!

When he thought of Zheng Shiyuan, Zhu Qi was regretful. He had already beaten his thighs. Why did you say that I was so proud of Zheng Shiyuan's life? He asked him to give Zhu Yuanzhang a direct advice, sarcasticly mocking Zhu Yuanzhang in person, and then dragged it out and chopped it out, so how good it would save me from being so painful now!

Since becoming the chief official of the Liao King, Zheng Shiyuan has been using all the justice that has been used all over himself, urging him to study. If you don’t study, he will not go to Zhu Yuanzhang to complain. He just muttered in your ears:

"How can you sleep? How can you sleep? You are at your age, you are at your age? Are you a little promising?"

What a good guy, the skill of fighting against others is already superb.

It was finally easy to go to New Year's Eve, and Zheng Shiyuan also went home to do whatever he should do. Zhu Qi found a chance to sleep in.

But as soon as the person lay on the bed, he heard loud noises outside again.

"Oh, my little ancestors, don't run away, Your Highness the King of Liao is resting!"

Then there was a burst of laughter, and the little girl shouted:

"Do not stop us, we are going to play with Brother Zhu Qi!"

Ah? What's the situation?

Zhu Qi sat up in a daze, and then saw four little girls chattering and running in. When he saw the person coming, Zhu Qi's head was blown up, namely Princess Anqing, Princess Runing, Princess Huaiqing and Princess Daming.

The four of them are about teenagers, and they are the ones who play with each other the most.

After worshiping the ancestors, I ran over to find Zhu Qi to play. As for why I looked for Zhu Qi, of course, there are the most fun things here in Zhu Qi!

Zhu Qi also opened the Royal Entertainment Center after all. He naturally has fun things in the Royal Entertainment Center.

There are not many things to play with, such as comic books, novels, pool tables, etc.

Zhu Qi is another brother who is very kind to his younger brothers and sisters. After a while, these four little girls like to run to him.

Come on, let's just sleep, get up and have fun.

Zhu Qizhang pulled his eyelids and looked at the chattering four sisters around him, and he knew that he had no sleep today.

He was having fun with four sisters, and Zhu Di ran over there again. When he saw that the guys were having fun here, he immediately came over and said, "Take me one!"

It was almost dusk in the afternoon when the four little girls finally left, but they didn't have to sleep anymore. They were about to have a family dinner on New Year's Eve, so it was a waste of sleep. When Zhu Qi thought that he couldn't sleep tonight and had to stay up late to stay up to the New Year, he felt so sad.

If you suffer, you still have to go to the New Year’s Eve family dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very frugal for a month and hated extravagance and wasting himself, so he naturally did.

When a minister was inviting a banquet, a minister had three dishes and one soup. When a family banquet, he did not have such good treatment. There was no such beautiful thing as eating separately and having three dishes and one soup for each person.

There were two tables directly, including Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, King Qin Zhu Feng, King Liao Zhu Qi, King Yan Zhu Di, King Zhou Zhu Xiu, King Chu Zhu Zhen and more than ten people made a table.

The remaining children under ten years old gathered together and sat at another table.

There were only ten dishes and two soups on the table, and it was like the New Year's Eve dinner that Zhu Qi had experienced in modern times before. As for the TV, it was naturally impossible for the Manchu and Han ceremonies like the Qing Dynasty palace.

There were no ministers to accompany me, and no musicians or dancers dancing. There were only the sound of firecrackers outside the palace, and the big red lanterns hanging from afar.

But it is only when such a meal is lively and warm.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no airs to treat his family. He smiled and looked at the children at the other table for dinner. He occasionally teased his grandson Zhu Xiongying in his arms. Until Zhu Xiongying was so quarrel that he cried, he rushed to Queen Ma next to him, and then rolled his eyes.

Zhu Biao smiled helplessly from the side. Zhu Qi and Zhu Di directly turned into foodies. There was nothing we could do. The two were hungry, especially Zhu Qi, who was entangled by four sisters, and they didn't even have lunch!

After a meal, Zhu Biao took the lead in taking out the New Year gift, which was the New Year painting he drew. The rest of the King of Qin and others were unwilling to fall behind. Everyone drew New Year paintings, or wrote couplets by themselves, etc. These were all things that Zhu Biao took the lead and the brothers discussed.

He didn't waste money and was very dedicated. Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy.

Pointing at the children, he said to Queen Ma:

"Girl, look how good our sons are. It should be like this. The princes of the Ming Dynasty must be so thrifty!"

Zhu Di immediately became arrogant, with his face full of words, "My father praised me!"

However, the best one in this painting is naturally Zhu Qi. In fact, Zhu Qi has already retained five success powers. Unexpectedly, once he took out this painting, he still surpassed the heroes. It can be said that he is very awesome.

To be honest, Zhu Qi, the current painter, dare not be the first in landscape painting, but in oil paintings, sketches, simple sketches, etc., he really claims to be the first, but no one dares to be the second!

Even in Western Europe, it is still a dark and chaotic painting process. Compare with me, a cartoonist!

The content of Zhu Qi's painting was about a fat doll with a whip horn, holding a big red koi. Of course, Zhu Qi directly copied the illustrations in the textbook. This thing was originally a painting used on New Year's Eve. In the 1990s, it could be said that every household had it, and it was like fish every year. People who are a little older know it.

With the meaning, there is no need to say about the painter. Zhu Yuanzhang caught Zhu Qi and praised him again.

The other princesses also came over and begged Zhu Qi to draw portraits for them.

There is no way, the sketches and sketches drawn by the painters in the palace are no match for Zhu Qi. The main reason is that the theory and scientific methods are not in place. Most of the time, paintings are based on practice and experience. However, scientific and systematic learning has never been achieved before, so they are naturally not as good as Zhu Qi.

But if you meet a true master of Chinese painting, Zhu Qi will be willing to give up the disadvantage and sigh that he is inferior. For example, Zhu Qi has seen the paintings that Tang Bohu has survived. It is not that the painting skills are inferior to people, but that the artistic conception has already been defeated.

Zhu Qi did not refuse the request from his sisters, and agreed to them one by one. Of course, whether to draw or not, or when to draw, that would be another matter. He just said, "Okay, okay, all of them are painted. When did you brother Qi deceive you?"

When the girls were happy, they whimpered for a while.

On the last day of the seventh year of Hongwu, our King of Liao spent his joyful laughter and joy with his family.

At this time, in a house in Yingtian Mansion, an old man named Liu Ji, named Bowen was having dinner with his wife and children at home. Due to some special reasons, only his wife and eldest son Liu Lian were eating the New Year's Eve dinner in the house. The scene was quite desolate.

He listened to his son Liu Lian saying something about His Royal Highness the recent strange stories, and only said one sentence:

"In a few days, take me to the Royal Entertainment Center to take a seat."
