Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Chapter 276 The teacher returns to the court

"Is it the New Year?" Zhou Chang opened his eyes and vaguely remembered that there were still three days until the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

But outside the wall of Prince Yi's Mansion, the sound of firecrackers was endless and woke her up directly.

Zhou Chang sat up and glanced at the half-open window.

It was already bright outside the window, but with the windows closed in winter, it was impossible to tell what time it was, and the charcoal fire on the ground had long since gone out.

It was a little chilly in the bedroom, so Zhou Chang took a robe from the hanger and put it on hastily.

Someone outside heard the noise inside the palace and knocked on the door to ask, "Is the prince going to get up?"

It's either a voice of envy or admiration.

Zhou Chang said "hmm" and walked to the table to pour a glass of water.

Xinxian and Xinmu pushed the door open and came in, bringing a basin, hot water, and toiletries.

Zhou Chang simply washed up with the help of the two men.

Soon after, the skinny monkey brought in breakfast. Without waiting for Zhou Chang to ask, he said, "Your Majesty, the prince Xian has returned to the capital. You must have heard everything."

As soon as Zhou Chang smelled the aroma of hot porridge, his appetite was aroused.

“Showing off your big head” is finally back?

From the memory of Prince Yi Fengming, Zhou Chang's biggest impression of Prince Xian Fengzheng was that he had a big head.

This guy's name must be wrong, why call him "Kite"? His head is so big that he can't fly.

It should be called "wind and waves". Not only are the waves big, but one wave hitting them can make people feel uncomfortable for a while.

"What time is it now?" Zhou Chang didn't want to pay attention and just asked the time.

"It's almost noon." The skinny monkey placed the side dishes on the tray in front of Zhou Chang one by one.

"Is it noon already?" Zhou Chang looked out through the door that had not yet been closed.

He hasn't been worrying about anything these days, and he's been waking up later and later.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the people lined the streets to welcome Prince Xian back. It happens to be the new year, so the government officials and the people are happy to set off firecrackers in advance to announce the good news." The skinny monkey also had a festive look on his face.

Zhou Chang scooped a spoonful of porridge and ate it, then listened carefully to the sound of firecrackers in the distance, but the sound had disappeared. He couldn't help but think that the title of "Xian Wang" was correct. It was really "showy" to make the final appearance three days before the New Year.

"His Majesty will surely reward His Royal Highness Prince Xian greatly when he returns this time. But Your Majesty, you have also contributed a lot to this victory, but I'm afraid..." The skinny monkey muttered in disappointment.

"It doesn't matter. His head is so big that he deserves a bigger crown." Zhou Chang knew in his heart that King Xian was in the late period and he must not be offended at any time.

The skinny monkey also laughed: "Yeah, other people's heads are at most a pumpkin, but the head of the king must be as big as a winter melon."

"That's too exaggerated." Zhou Chang really didn't care.

"But, Your Majesty..." The thin monkey looked around and saw that Prince Yi's bedroom was still empty. "If the things you buried were piled on the ground, they would have formed a mountain. How come there is no effect at all?"

Zhou Chang knew what the skinny monkey was asking, and he also knew that the previous excuse of a "ritual" to help people get rich would not fool people for long.

Half a truckload of things that were bought on the day of the consecration of the Great Pagoda were gradually "taken away" by her in the following days.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I went out shopping for a few days.

But every time something was moved into the bedroom the night before, it would disappear the next morning.

Aunt Jing, Xinxian and Xinmu don’t ask, but Skinny Monkey always asks.

Zhou Chang had no choice but to continue making up a lie: "It really didn't work, so I improved the method and burned everything."

"Burned? How was it burned? There are so many things, how can they be burned? Do you want a servant..." The skinny monkey was really interested.

Zhou Chang's mind raced, and he had been preparing for a few days: "We should use the big stove behind the house to burn food for the Kitchen God. After that, it's better not to stop burning food during the New Year."

"Isn't that big stove built for the convenience of heating water for the prince's bath?" The skinny monkey was skeptical.

"Are you stupid? Can you tell this to outsiders?" Zhou Chang rolled his eyes.

The skinny monkey smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, so..., that's true, but Your Majesty, will it work?"

"Don't keep asking. It will annoy God and make him seem insincere." Zhou Chang continued to fool him.

"That's right, I won't ask anymore." The skinny monkey was most concerned about food. "But my lord, do you still need to go out and buy something today? You can put off eating for a while."

"Huh? It's rare that our monkey still has no food to eat?" Zhou Chang was quite surprised. In the past few days, the skinny monkey had accepted everyone who came to him.

The skinny monkey grinned, "That's not the case. It's just that the palace banquet on New Year's Eve is coming soon. The things I bought two days ago are indeed not finished. In two days, I will go to the palace, and there will naturally be a lot of delicious food. When the time comes, I will definitely not be short of it. If the food is left out for a long time and cannot be finished, and then it goes bad, it will be a waste."

Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect there was such a procedure. She had never attended such an occasion before.

Almost at the same time, a feeling of resistance arose in her heart, and she didn't know whether it came from her or Prince Yi.

But it’s hard to say anything now. When the time comes, we will just have to “fight the enemy with our generals and block the water with our earth.”

The skinny monkey then remembered something: "Oh, my Lord, Prince Xian has returned to the palace with his troops. I heard that Concubine Jin in the palace is giving out red envelopes. Should we also go to the palace?"

Zhou Chang is not interested in entering the palace now, mainly because the people in the palace are now guarding against him like they are guarding against thieves, and it is no longer so easy for him to move valuables out.

However, the thin monkey's mention of this reminded her of something: "Do we also need to exchange the blessing oracle that the Yuan family got last time? Didn't they say that one oracle would be worth 100 coins?"

The thin monkey pouted: "Oh, Your Majesty, that was a long time ago. Why did you just think of it? They had already sent out the red ribbons before the epidemic blockade. It was a pity for me at that time that I didn't have a single red ribbon in my hand."

"Oh, then the Yuan family probably spent a lot of money again." Zhou Chang felt sorry for the Yuan family for no reason.

After breakfast, Zhou Chang wanted to go out as usual to continue her "live streaming and selling goods", but Duofu Duobao came to inform her that Mr. Zhong wanted to see her.

Zhou Chang then called up the information from the viewpoint system in his mind and took a look at it.

[Level: Upper Nine-Three]

【Commission: -5,620,000 taels】

【Order: 0】

Anyway, the "loan" has been reduced a lot.

The more than 300 orders that surged on the day of the Grand Pagoda’s consecration were cleared yesterday.

It's okay to take a day off today.

Occasionally, he should do what Prince Yi should do, and the palace cannot be entirely handed over to Aunt Jing and Mr. Zhong.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chang decided to give himself a holiday in advance and got up and strolled to the study.
