Chapter 334: Parting Feelings

After waiting in the cold wind for most of the day, everyone was finally able to enter the warm room and instantly felt alive.

"It's finally warm, Xiaozhuang, are you okay?" After Zhu Zhanjun came in, he felt much better and was concerned about his younger brother.

"I'm fine. I feel like I've gotten used to this kind of weather after staying here for a long time." Zhu Zhanji shook his head.

"You've adapted really quickly. I'm not used to it at all. Father didn't come this time either. It seems like we two brothers will have to support each other for a while."

"Second brother. Who knows who is taking care of whom?" Zhu Zhanji glanced at him silently.

"Brother, you can't say that. We must have supported each other."

"Stop talking, both of you." Zhu Zhanqi walked in front of them and reminded them in a low voice.

Zhu Di looked over here several times.

"The relocation of the capital was so smooth, and it is all thanks to you, Gao Sui." Zhu Di said, holding up his wine glass.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is all because of your good decision-making and leadership. I am just following your lead and doing some work with the craftsmen. Your Majesty is a man of foresight. Mobei heard about your majesty's plan to move the capital, and they haven't dared to move recently." Zhu Gaosui flattered him.

"The biggest reason for moving the capital is to stabilize Mobei. I want to prepare again immediately and personally lead an expedition to Mobei. You are here, so you can come with me this time." Zhu Di quickly expressed his thoughts. This was nothing strange. After all, his only hobby in his life was fighting. He liked expeditions before the capital was moved. Now that it was so close, he could go to war just by leaving his home and turning a corner. Naturally, he was eager to go and couldn't wait to go.

"Thank you, father. By the way, during this period, Zhanqi and the others have also helped a lot. I dare not take all the credit for it alone, but they have also contributed." Zhu Gaosui immediately brought out Zhu Zhanqi and the others.

"Well, I heard about it. I heard that Zhanjun and Zhanqi also worked very hard this time. Zhanqi and his younger brothers did a great job. They all received rewards. They all received rewards." Zhu Di nodded in response.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three of them expressed their gratitude.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone had almost drunk enough, so Zhu Di asked them to go back. The Forbidden City was already habitable, so the Zhu Zhanjun brothers were arranged to live in a special palace. Because the crown prince had not arrived yet, it was not convenient for them to live directly in the East Palace, so they lived in other palaces first and moved there after the crown prince came.

"Second brother, we still have some things at the princess's place. Let's go out of the palace to get them when we have time tomorrow." Zhu Zhanji suggested.

"Okay, we should also go and thank Princess Aunt for taking care of her during this period, and buy some loving things for Ningning. She will definitely be reluctant to let us go by then." Zhu Zhanjun felt a little reluctant when he thought of Yuan Ningning's tears.

"Now that you mention it, I can imagine what will happen tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get away tomorrow." Compared to Zhu Zhanjun's reluctance, Zhu Zhanji felt that Yuan Ningning was sometimes unreasonable and very annoying.

"Look at your sad face, don't worry, Princess Auntie may have talked to Ningning in advance, the little girl will just cry for a while at most."

"Crying is annoying."

On the other side, the princess's mansion.

"Mother, can't my two brothers live in our house from now on?" Princess Yong'an told Yuan Ningning today that her two brothers were going back to the palace and would not live in the princess's mansion anymore. Yuan Ningning immediately burst into tears and pestered Princess Yong'an to sleep with her today.

"Ningning, your two brothers' homes are in the palace, so they definitely can't live in our house. Your two brothers should come over in the next two days to get some things. As for you, you must not be unreasonable and cry and pester your brothers to leave. Otherwise, your brothers will definitely be embarrassed in the future, and they will have no choice but to dislike you. Do you understand?" Princess Yong'an gave her daughter a shot of prevention first, otherwise who knows what will happen then.

"I know, but...but what should I do if I'm just sad?"

"My brothers just don't live in our house anymore. It's not like you won't see them anymore. You can go to the palace to see them in the future, or they can come out of the palace to play with you. Don't be too sad, okay?" Princess Yong'an comforted her daughter while wiping away her tears.

"I'm still very sad, mother. Please let me cry for a while, otherwise I will definitely not cry tomorrow."

So the next day, what the Zhu Zhanjun brothers saw was Yuan Ningning trying hard to hold back her tears.

"Ningning, why don't you cry? It's uncomfortable to see you like this." Zhu Zhanjun also felt uncomfortable seeing her like this. Why not let her cry and vent her feelings?

"You kid, I finally persuaded her last night and she agreed not to cry or make a fuss today, but you are still provoking her." Princess Yong'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard what he said. How could she let people cry? If she really cried, she would not be able to bear it.

Yuan Ningning was already pouting, but thinking of what her mother said last night, she forced herself to hold it back because she didn't want to be annoying.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't cry. Can we meet again in the future?" Although Yuan Ningning tried not to cry, the choking in her voice still betrayed her.

"Of course you can. When the time comes, you can come to the palace and we can meet. Or you can wait until your brothers are free and leave the palace and come to play with you. Don't be sad, okay?" Zhu Zhanjun squatted down and said to her patiently.

"Okay, Ningning will listen to her brother." Yuan Ningning nodded heavily.

"You are so good. Today your brothers have specially asked for leave so that they can play with you for a day. Just tell us where you want to go and your brothers will accompany you today. Aunt, we will take Ningning out to play for a while and then send her back." After Zhu Zhanjun finished talking to her, he turned around and said to Princess Yong'an.

"Well, go ahead and have a safe rest." Princess Yong'an gave them instructions and let them go.

As soon as Yuan Ningning went out, her face, which had been sad just now, immediately changed to a happy look. As expected, children's emotions come and go quickly.

Yuan Ningning rarely had the opportunity to go out, and she had never been to many places, or she would just pass by with her mother in a carriage. This time, she finally had the chance to go out for a walk, so she was naturally curious about everything she saw. She looked here and there.

"Look at this, brothers." Yuan Ningning said, pointing at some pearl flowers on the small stall.

"Ningning likes these, pack them all up." The two brothers didn't have much aesthetic taste, they bought everything she liked. After a while, they bought a lot of food, toys and daily necessities. Yuan Ningning was tired from shopping and could hardly walk, so the two brothers took her to a restaurant for dinner.

"This is delicious. It tastes better than what the chef in the mansion makes." Yuan Ningning said after taking a bite.

"You've never eaten it before, so you're feeling fresh when you eat it for the first time. You wouldn't think so if you ate it every day. Besides, it's okay to eat the food outside occasionally, but if you eat it too much, it won't be as clean as the food at home." Zhu Zhanji said.

"Brother Zhanxiang always says things like this, which makes people unhappy when eating." Yuan Ningning said with a sigh.

"That's right, you see. I told you that with your temper, even your sister doesn't like you anymore." Zhu Zhanjun said as he watched the show from the side.

The dish that Zhu Zhanji was about to give to Yuan Ningning was suspended in the air. After a moment, he put the dish into her bowl.

"It's my fault, brother. If you like it, eat more. It's okay." Zhu Zhanji immediately changed his words.

Yuan Ningning immediately started eating with relish again.

People tend to feel sleepy after eating and drinking enough. Yuan Ningning had been strolling for most of the day. After eating, she fell asleep on Zhu Zhanjun's body soon. The two men had to carry her all the way back.

"Aunt, we have been out for quite a long time. We have packed all our things. After saying goodbye to you, we will go back to the palace. Please take care of yourself." Zhu Zhanjun and his brother said goodbye to Princess Yong'an.

"Yes, I will. You guys take care of yourself too. Your father hasn't come back yet, and you don't have anyone to take care of you in the palace. You two brothers must support each other and take care of yourselves." Princess Yong'an held their hands reluctantly and said.

"We will. Don't worry, aunt. We will come back to see you and Ningning when we are free. When Ningning wakes up, tell her not to be sad. The gifts we bought for her are in her room. Now the emperor is also in the palace, so aunt can go to the palace to pay his respects." Zhu Zhanji said.

"Yes, we are all together now, so it is convenient to meet each other."
