"Yi! You're changing your clothes too quickly!"

"It's my clothes that are simple! Nothing as complicated as yours! Hehe!"

At this time, Sun Ke, the chief minister of the interior of the East Palace, came to the side hall where the dressing was changed. "Two princes, the New Year's Eve dinner will be changed to the East Palace today. I will welcome you. Have the two princes changed their clothes?"

Li Yi touched his stomach and smiled, "Well. We are all ready! Sun Ke! Lead the way! I'm almost starving to death!"

"Yes, prince! I'll take you back now!" Sun Ke lowered his head and smiled faintly.

The East Palace is naturally on the east side of the palace, but the East Palace is not in the east direction, but in the southeast. Because the palace complex in the east is the emperor's bedroom.

The East Palace is composed of the Mingde Hall of the main hall (the place where the prince works and meets ministers), the Chengen Hall (the prince's bedroom), the Qingwen Hall (the prince's library), the Luanfeng Hall (the prince's bedroom), the Yichun Palace (the prince's bedroom), the Renhe Palace (the prince's children live in the bedroom) and the Donghai Neifang.

After the end of Danuo, Emperor Wen Li Chongyan returned to his Tai Chi Palace Zichen Hall and did not eat with the royal family members.

The queen Changsun Rong had to ask the prince to entertain everyone. According to the queen's wishes, the New Year should be like the New Year. Although it cannot be celebrated as widely as in previous years, the whole family still needs to have a reunion dinner.

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan returned to Zichen Hall and did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he wore a cloak and looked at the stars in the night sky outside the hall. Wang An, the eunuch general manager, asked him to bring a brazier to aside.

"Your Majesty, do you think this temperature is right?"

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan turned around and saw the brazier and couldn't help but point at Wang An, "You! My interest in appreciating stars has interrupted your brazier!"

Wang An quickly knelt down and apologized, "The slave will withdraw now!" As he said that, he was about to get up and take away the brazier.

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan laughed and scolded, "Okay! Let it go! It's so that you can warm up too!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan immediately came up with an idea when he saw the brazier, "Wang An! Come with two stools and bring some wine and meat!"

"Yes, Akang!"

"Daguan." A young eunuch.

"Go to Shangshenfang to get some wine, fresh meat, and iron forks!"

"Yes, Grand Prison!"

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan sat on a stool, roasting his hands on fire. Then he said to Wang An, "You sit down too!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The red charcoal light shone on the old face of Emperor Wen Li Chongyan. Wang An felt that Emperor Wen in front of him was like an old tiger, and his remaining power was already unlucky.

Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed his hands, and said, "Wang An! You have been following me for so many years!"

"Go back to Your Majesty! It's been exactly thirty-eight years this year!"

Emperor Wen sighed, "Thirty-eight years have passed without realizing it! I remember when I first met you, you were still a twelve-year-old boy! At that time, you had just entered the palace and couldn't do anything well."

"Yes! Your Majesty! I was punished by the Grand Priest when I was punished, and you saved me. Since then, I have followed His Majesty."

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan put a piece of charcoal into the brazier, "Then, Wang An! Have you ever thought about changing to a new master?"

Wang An looked at Emperor Wen and said in confusion, "Your Majesty? Why did you say this?"

"I am old. I can't keep up with my body. I often can't sleep recently, and I often feel sleepy after waking up. I have found an imperial physician and the reply I get is cultivation. Do you think. If I cultivate, who will review the memorials from these ministers?"

Wang An randomly comforted him, "Your Majesty, don't say such unlucky words. Your Majesty is still in his prime, how could he be ill? Perhaps it was because of the imperial physician's words, and maybe it would take some time to recover!"

"I know the best of my body. I should plan early while I can still exercise my muscles and bones. After the Lantern Festival, I will abdicate to the prince! At that time, the prince will rely on you to take care of him!"

Wang An refused, "This is not something to do! Your Majesty! There are already someone who chooses His Royal Highness, so how dare I interfere in the affairs of my old slave!"

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan patted Wang An on the shoulder, "Wang An! Sun Ke has been with the prince for many years, but you know his abilities better than me. So before Sun Ke became a talent, you still need to work hard as the position of the Imperial Palace's Interior Supervisor. With you here, I don't worry!"

Wang An stood up and knocked, and said gratefully, "I am obeying Your Majesty's will! I will assist His Highness with all my heart."

"Get up! Ah, the wine and meat are all here!" After Emperor Wen Li Chongyan saw Akang bringing the wine and meat, he turned over the black charcoal several times, revealing the red charcoal.

Put the iron fork on, sweep the lard, cut into small pieces of beef, and place it on the iron fork. Under the baking of the flames, a sizzling sound made, and a faint meaty aroma came out. Wang An took out the porcelain plate, seasonings and dough cakes for Emperor Wen.

However, before the beef was roasted, Emperor Wen Li Chongyan grabbed the meat away with chopsticks, and then swallowed the beef into his mouth while it was hot.

Wang An poured white wine for Emperor Wen Li Chongyan, and Emperor Wen drank it all in one go.

After two steps, Emperor Wen Li Chongyan finished the wine and meat.

"It's so satisfying!" Emperor Wen Li Chongyan said with a fist, "I haven't eaten such delicious beef for a long time! Where did I get this beef."

Akang replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I came to beef from Hexi for tribute!"

"What's Hexi! Is this meat still there?"

"Go back to your Majesty, there are three more heads in Shangchang!"

"Wang An will give you all the meat. I haven't rewarded your eunuchs yet on New Year's Eve."

Others don’t know, but Wang An still knows clearly what Hexi fat cow means. He immediately knelt down and said, “Thank you for your gift!”

Emperor Wen Li Chongyan felt drunk at this time and felt dizzy when he got up, "Oh, it turns out that he is old and has not only been able to drink half a pound. He is so drunk."

Wang An walked up to support Emperor Wen Li Chongyan, "Your Majesty, I will help you rest in your bedroom."

After Emperor Wen Li Chongyan lay down, Wang An blew out the candle and left the inner room.

After the East Palace banquet, Prince Li Min hurried to Zichen Hall.

Wang An politely said, "Your Highness."

"Wang An, why did you come to me so late?"

"Your Highness. No! I should call you the crown prince now!"

When Prince Li Min heard Wang An call him the crown prince, he didn't react, "What did you just shout?"

"Crown Lord!"

Crown Prince Li Min showed a happy expression, "Did the father issue an edict?"

"Return to the crown prince, after the Lantern Festival, Your Majesty will personally issue an edict to abdicate to Your Highness! Therefore, Your Highness must not leave Anjing these days."

Prince Li Min remembered what he promised Li Qing, "But, I will go to Jingzhou in person in a while."

"Your Highness, I'm just reminding you tonight, and I hope you will make arrangements early. After all, the new emperor's throne ceremony is complicated and complicated, and it involves a lot. Moreover, Your Majesty's health has become worse and worse recently, so I'm afraid something will happen."

Prince Li Min asked nervously, "What did you say? What's wrong with the father's body!"

Wang An took out the prescription for the prince. After the prince looked at it, "This is... Red Practice Grass! A hundred-fold flower! Lingxu root! White Cloud Ginseng!"

Wang An thought of how Emperor Wen looked when he was eating beef, and he couldn't help feeling sad, "This is the medicinal material that Your Majesty needs to consolidate the foundation in a short period of time. I know from Doctor Liu. The Doctor said that Your Majesty has long been weak inside and has been ill in the bone marrow, so this is the only way."

"I understand! I will arrange this matter again. You can take good care of Your Majesty during these days."

"yes."
