Live broadcast shocked the ancients, and the baby returned to the modern era to be the group's

Chapter 201 This was Emperor Jingxuan's most triumphant year.

Liang Wei kept staring at these children, hesitating whether he should suggest to the Emperor that such obviously talented girls be taken to the capital for specialized education.

The Emperor Jingxuan, whom he was thinking about, was taking a sip of wine with his eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite content.

Although he was exhausted after a full day of rituals, his spirits were high. During the morning ancestral worship ceremony, he no longer needed to offer a long apology before paying respects to his ancestors.

In previous years, when disasters struck various places, people were displaced and starving, he would always first reflect on his own mistakes and pray to his ancestors for blessings, hoping that the coming year would bring favorable weather, abundant harvests, and peace and prosperity for the country.

But this year is different. This year, with the canopy in the sky, they learned of the existence of high-yield crops. So, he only reflected for a moment at the beginning of the ancestral worship ceremony, and then he talked about his vision and plans for the future.

This year he also solved the problem of smallpox, a plague that had plagued countless ancestors since ancient times, which was now perfectly eradicated during his reign.

Emperor Jingxuan had never been so interested in chatting with his ancestors as he was this year.

The officials below were so flustered by the conversation that they could barely stand, especially the officials from the Ministry of Rites, who were completely numb.

Your Majesty, the prayer text on the prayer board is not written like this. Please do not improvise. Besides, your improvisation has been going on for far too long.

The officials below wanted to remind His Majesty, but Emperor Jingxuan didn't care. He was in high spirits, and what used to be the most agonizing activity had become his favorite. He should experience it a little longer.

By the time Emperor Jingxuan finally stopped, still feeling unsatisfied, most of the day had already passed, and the remaining procedures could only be shortened as much as possible.

That evening, after having the bestowed dishes delivered to each household, he sat outside the palace with his concubines and members of the royal family to watch the fireworks.

The fireworks of Daqi were quite spectacular. The Imperial Household Department had long ago commissioned fireworks of various shapes, including dragons and phoenixes, as well as all sorts of strange and wonderful things, which dazzled the eyes.

Once lit, the entire inner city was illuminated.

Emperor Jingxuan took another sip of wine and suddenly realized that the fireworks on his side were more beautiful than those in the sky.

In the sky, Yuan Yuan and Chao Chao were just playing with children's toys in the courtyard. From what they said, it seemed that fireworks were banned in later generations.
Why is this?

Fireworks and firecrackers are believed to ward off evil spirits. Does this mean that later generations no longer believe in the existence of evil spirits?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the Empress Dowager's voice behind me, "Does the Emperor really not intend to appoint another Empress? I've noticed you've been treating Consort Zhuang very well lately..."

Emperor Jingxuan was somewhat helpless. He didn't want to talk about this topic, so he simply changed her mind. "Mother, I heard that Miss Lin Lan rejected your proposal and is still planning to return to Huaiping County?"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but glare at him. Fine, if he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't have to. Anyway, now the court and the harem were more focused on the Heavenly Screen and what was inside. It seemed that the officials had already forgotten about the topic of establishing an empress.

She echoed Emperor Jingxuan's words, saying, "Yes, Miss Lin Lan is a thoughtful girl, and I think it's a good thing that she has plans. This girl, like Chaochao, is growing up very quickly. Perhaps she can really achieve something in Huaiping County."

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see."

Beijing Post Station.

Lin Lan and her group were also looking up at the fireworks; they had also received imperial dishes from the emperor that day.

While the others felt honored, Guo Xiucai was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

He knew very well that the New Year's Eve feast was not something everyone could enjoy; only a small number of high-ranking officials had this honor.

Is this food? No, this is a gift of grace.

Guo Xiucai ate with such reverence that by the time he was about to take a second bite, the dish had already been finished by everyone else.

Guo Xiucai felt like the sky was falling and was still depressed. Liangping called him to come watch the fireworks, but he didn't respond after two calls, so he whispered to the others, "What's wrong with Guo Xiucai?"

The others shook their heads. Da Shan thought for a moment and said, "New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion. Maybe he misses home."

"I miss my mother too. I wonder how she and my little sister are doing now." Lin Lan's gaze was somewhat distant. Speaking of which, this was their first Spring Festival after they separated from the family.

Without the Lin family's fault-finding, the four of them should be living a very happy and comfortable life.

Daya's eyes welled up with tears. "I miss my parents."

She's just a teenage girl, and this is the first time she's been so far from home. Of course she misses home.

Grandma Zhou patted her head. "Your parents must be looking up at the sky just like us. We're looking at the same sky as them, so we're not alone."

Yes, they also have a canopy.

Chaochao from Tianmu was tired from playing and ran over to Jian Yunsang, sat down next to her, and rested her head on her shoulder for a while.

Jian Yunsang had one arm around her while looking at her phone with the other.

After dinner on New Year's Eve, she received a constant stream of New Year's greetings via phone and text message. Not only did she and He Nanzhou receive several calls, but Chaochao also received several.

Jian Yunsang still has many students. Although she hasn't stepped into the campus for two years, her former students still send her blessing messages during the Spring Festival and other holidays.

For example, right now, she just finished a phone call with Luo Yue, and she immediately received 99 new WeChat contacts.

Just as she was about to open it, another phone call came in.

The caller ID showed a familiar face. Jian Yunsang paused for a moment, then answered the call.

The other person smiled broadly and said, "Happy New Year, Teacher Jian."

"Principal Guan, Happy New Year."

Principal Guan laughed. "Judging from your tone, you seem to be in good spirits lately."

"I heard some time ago that Xiao Chaochao has been found, but I thought you would have to spend time with her these days, so I didn't bother you. Today is New Year's Eve, so I still want to send my blessings."

Jian Yunsang couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Just a blessing?"

"Haha, nothing can be hidden from Teacher Jian." Principal Guan laughed heartily. "How about it? Coming back to teach after the New Year? Our school is always open for you to come back. Just tell me what kind of treatment you want, and I will try my best to meet your needs."

Although Jian Yunsang had a premonition, she still hesitated when Principal Guan made the explicit point.

She looked down at Chaochao beside her. The little girl was very close to her, and she had heard everything that had just been said.

Seeing her mother looking at her, she nodded hurriedly and whispered, "Go, Mom will go."

These days, Chaochao has actually come to understand a lot of things. She knows that two years ago, because of her disappearance, her mother got sick and was unable to go to school to be a teacher.

But her mother is clearly a very outstanding person; otherwise, the principal wouldn't have invited her repeatedly, and a student like Zhou Ziyao wouldn't still 'respect' her so much after graduation.
