My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

After playing here for a while, Little Sizi snuggled up in Empress Zhangsun's arms for a bit.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she abruptly raised her head.

"Mother, Mother!" Her eyes sparkled. "Today is New Year's Eve, isn't it?"

Empress Zhangsun nodded with a smile.

"Yes, New Year's Eve."

Little Sizi scrambled down from her arms in a flash, stood in the center of the room, puffed out his little chest, and cleared his throat—

Then, with her short legs, she was the first to walk up to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle Zhu... Happy New Year! Sizi wishes you a Happy New Year!"

After saying that, he clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.

That childish voice stunned everyone in the room.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good boy!" He reached into his sleeve and pulled out a bright red object. "Here, here, Uncle Zhu prepared this for you!"

Little Sizi took it with both hands, looked down and—

It was a red paper package, bulging and full.

Little Sizi's eyes lit up immediately.

She held the red envelope, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu!"

Then she turned around, took short steps, and ran to Liu Che.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Liu! Sizi wishes you a Happy New Year!"

Another earnest bow.

Liu Che remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Liu Ju.

"Did you bring any money?"

"No!"

Liu Ju shook his head and looked at Huo Qubing.

"Did you bring any money?"

Huo Qubing remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Just as Liu Che was feeling embarrassed, a hand reached out from the side, holding a beautiful jade pendant.

Liu Che turned his head and saw that it was Wei Zifu.

Wei Zifu smiled at him, then handed the jade pendant to Xiao Sizi and reached out to pat Xiao Sizi's head.

Little Sizi squinted at the jade pendant, a smile playing on his lips.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu! Thank you, Sister Wei...!"

"Sister Wei?"

Wei Zifu was slightly taken aback.

"Because I think my older sister is very pretty! Just like my sister! Her skin is so soft and smooth!"

Wei Zifu: ...

Wei Zifu smiled, a truly joyful smile.

She hesitated for a moment, then took out a perfectly round pearl from her sleeve and put it into the little girl's hand.

"This is a gift from your older sister for our first meeting. Please keep it safe."

Little Sizi took the bead, her eyes curving into crescents, her little mouth as sweet as if it had been coated with honey.

"Thank you, Sister Wei! Sister Wei is the best! She's kind-hearted and beautiful!"

Wei Zifu's smile widened.

Liu Che coughed twice, trying to save face.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, you..."

Wei Zifu glanced at him and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will replenish it from your private treasury later."

Liu Che was speechless for a moment, while Liu Ju and Huo Qubing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Huo Qubing leaned closer and winked at Xiao Sizi.

"Little Sizi, you really deserved to be called 'sister'! Look how happy my aunt is, she even gave you her personal belongings."

Little Si blinked, looked up at Huo Qubing, and asked in a clear voice.

"Brother Huo, what did you prepare for Si Zi?"

Huo Qubing was taken aback and subconsciously touched his waist—it was empty; he hadn't brought anything with him.

He chuckled twice.

"Um... how about I get you a little pony to play with later, Brother Huo?"

"Great!" Little Sizi clapped and cheered, then turned to Liu Ju, "Where's Brother Liu Ju?"

Liu Ju scratched his head and reached into his pocket.

I didn't bring anything...

He glanced at Zhu Biao, Fusu, and Li Chengqian, but the three of them turned away, pretending not to see him.

Male Gobi!

Anyway, I'll have to ask you for it later!

Liu Ju thought viciously to himself, remained silent for a while, and then picked up a few candies from the table.

"This... I was originally going to eat it myself, but you can have it."

Then, seemingly realizing that this was somewhat inappropriate, he added another sentence.

"The gift will be sent later!"

Little Sizi took the candy, unwrapped it, stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and mumbled something indistinctly.

"Thank you, brother!"

Seeing this, Liu Che finally found an opportunity and spoke with a stern face.

"Alright, alright, you've paid your New Year's greetings. Now it's time to go and pay your respects to your father and mother."

As he spoke, he reached out to pull the little ox.

Little Sizi turned around, hid behind Wei Zifu, peeked out with his little head, and giggled.

"Uncle Liu, you haven't given me my New Year's money yet!"

Liu Che: ...

"Didn't your sister Wei just give it to you?"

"You said it was Sister Wei who gave it to me!"

Everyone burst into laughter again, even Wei Zifu covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

Liu Che glared at her helplessly, then looked at Xiao Sizi's cunning expression, and finally could only sigh in resignation.

"Alright, alright, I'll make it up to you later!"

Xiao Sizi nodded in satisfaction, jumped out from behind Wei Zifu, and bowed earnestly again.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu! Uncle Liu is the best!"

After saying that, Xiao Sizi looked around.

Next goal—

Ying Zheng.

The little ox ran over with its short legs, stood in front of Ying Zheng, raised its little face, and bowed earnestly.

"Emperor Qin Shi Huang... Grandpa, Happy New Year! Sizi wishes you a Happy New Year!"

Ying Zheng looked down at the tiny child who only reached his knees and remained silent for a moment.

Calling someone else "uncle" but calling him "grandpa"?

This……

Empress Zhangsun said angrily.

"Call him Uncle, Uncle Ying!"

"Oh! Happy New Year, Uncle Ying! Sizi wishes you a Happy New Year!"

Little Si bowed again.

Fusu almost couldn't help but laugh.

Ying Zheng glanced at him expressionlessly.

Fusu immediately straightened his expression and looked straight ahead.

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the little rhinoceros again.

The little ox was blinking its big eyes at him, its gaze bright and full of expectation.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, then reached into his sleeve—

Then he paused.

He didn't bring any gifts.

As the First Emperor, why would he need to personally carry valuables when he went out?

Ying Zheng's hand froze for a moment inside his sleeve, but his expression remained unchanged.

He looked at Fusu.

Did you bring anything?

Fusu immediately lowered his head, pretending to be examining the melon seeds in his hand.

Ying Zheng looked around again—Liu Che was holding a teacup, looking on with an expression of anticipation.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped eating melon seeds and stared wide-eyed.

Ying Zheng lowered his head again, meeting the expectant eyes of the little rhinoceros.

Ying Zheng remained silent.

"I didn't bring anything, how about I wish you a Happy New Year too, then we're even?"

Little Sizi was stunned. She seemed completely taken aback by Ying Zheng's words, her small face filled with blankness.

"Father...isn't this inappropriate?"

Even Fusu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.

Ying Zheng glared at him.

"I didn't bring any money, and you didn't even know to? Now you're blaming me!"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then spoke to the little rhinoceros.

"Why don't you come to my place later and pick whatever you want?"

"Really?"

"real."

Little Sizi was so happy he almost jumped up, and then respectfully bowed again.

"Thank you, First Emperor... Uncle! I will definitely go!"

Ying Zheng looked at the little boy who was bowing earnestly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The little rhinoceros swept across the courtyard again, finally landing on Zhu Di.

Happy Chinese New Year, Uncle Zhu!

He bowed, all in one smooth motion.

Zhu Di chuckled and took out a delicate little object from his sleeve—a small bow, made extremely small, but the curvature of the bow and the tension of the string were meticulously crafted.

"This was made to your size by my own people." Zhu Di handed her the bow. "When you're a little older, I'll teach you how to shoot arrows."

Little Sizi took the small bow with both hands, his eyes wide open.

"So beautiful!"

She tried to pull the string—of course, she couldn't pull it, but she was already overjoyed.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu!"

Zhu Di nodded, his gaze lingering on that small face for a moment.

Over there, Zhu Gaoxu leaned over, winking and making faces.

"Little Sisi, you haven't wished me a Happy New Year yet!"

The little ox tilted its head to look at him.

Hmm, so much beard on his face... and he looks so old...

She blinked, then bowed respectfully.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Zhu!"

Zhu Gaoxu: ? ? ?

Zhu Di: ? ? ?
