Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first ray of sunshine gently awakened the sleeping courtyard.

Young Master Chu and his family began a solemn ceremony to worship their ancestors. Incense smoke rose in the air, paper ashes gently drifted away in the breeze, and the air was filled with deep remembrance and respect for their ancestors.

Under the leadership of the old man, with great piety, Young Master Chu and his family solemnly reported their gains and losses of the past year to their ancestors of each generation in turn. After kneeling respectfully and burning incense, they left the ancestral hall in the backyard.

After lunch, Mr. Chu went back to the bedroom for a short rest. Then he took Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong into his special car with a military license plate and left the courtyard.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, due to the New Year holiday, there were obviously fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the road than usual. Unconsciously, the car that Young Master Chu was riding in gradually drove into the inner city.

The atmosphere in the palace today is exceptionally solemn, but at the same time it also reveals a festive and warm atmosphere.

The red lanterns are hung high, and each lantern is carefully selected, emitting a festive light. The golden Chinese knots are cleverly decorated with the quaint buildings, and every detail reveals a strong traditional cultural atmosphere.

The car finally stopped slowly in front of the godfather's courtyard. Young Master Chu was about to get out of the car, but he unexpectedly found that Li Yitong and Bai Xiaolu, who were sitting on his left and right, were not moving at all.

Take a closer look.

At this moment, Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong were almost in sync, both biting their lower lips lightly, with their hands folded on their knees, maintaining an almost perfect sitting posture, a hint of nervousness in their beautiful eyes.

The similar pretty face turned a little pale, obviously because she was nervous about meeting her godfather in person.

Young Master Chu was just about to say a few words of comfort when he saw Bai Xiaolu take a deep breath, slowly reach out her hand to the door handle, and push the door open with a little force.

Then, Li Yitong also carefully pushed open the car door. When her toes touched the ground, her body trembled slightly, but then she straightened her back.

After getting off the car, Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong stood on both sides of Young Master Chu, looking around from time to time, examining this most majestic forbidden area in Daxia with great curiosity.

"Let's go!"

Young Master Chu opened his left and right hands, each holding a slightly sweaty little hand, and encouraged softly: "You two can handle meeting godmother well, so it should be easy to please godfather."

Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed Young Master Chu into the courtyard.

……

Step into the living room.

A warm and festive atmosphere fills the air.

The godfather and godmother sat on the sofa, wearing exquisite Tang suits, colorful yet solemn. The red tone was like the flame of the New Year, reflecting their rosy faces and refreshed appearance, as if the passing of time had not left any traces on them, only more wisdom and composure.

In the living room, red lanterns are hung high, reflecting the Tang suits of the godfather and godmother. Every detail reveals the festive atmosphere and the warmth of home.

There are all kinds of snacks and fruits on the table, colorful and fragrant...

The two people who were talking in low voices heard the footsteps, looked up, their eyes lit up, and their faces were filled with endless joy.

Young Master Chu, smiling, led Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong to the two elders, bowed deeply and said in a loud voice: "Godfather, godmother, happy new year! I wish you good health,

May you live as long as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains, and be as blessed as the long-flowing waters of the East Sea! "

Afterwards, Li Yitong and Bai Xiaolu also learned and put it into practice, and like Mr. Chu, they respectfully greeted their godfather and godmother.

"Good boy!"

The godmother stood up, held Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong, the smile on her face became more kind and brilliant, her phoenix eyes looked at this one and that, with great joy.

Then, he picked up the big red envelope that had been prepared on the table and stuffed it into the two girls' hands: "In the new year, godfather and godmother also wish you greater success in your career and happiness and health."

Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong held the heavy red envelopes, nodded with smiles as beautiful as flowers, and said in unison: "Thank you, godfather and godmother!"

"Come, have some fruit, some snacks, and chat with godmother."

The godmother warmly greeted Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong who were sitting next to her.

After Godfather talked to Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong for a few words, he stood up and said to them with a smile: "You guys chat first, I have something to say to Yuchen."

"Okay, please do as you please."

Bai Xiaolu and Li Yitong answered obediently.

Young Master Chu looked at his godfather with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he still stood up and followed him to the corridor outside the room.

Godfather patted Young Master Chu on the shoulder and said softly, "Yuchen, it's sunny after the snow, the scenery in the palace is unique, let's go out for a walk."

"Okay!" Young Master Chu nodded in response immediately.

The two walked out of the room together and strolled along the corridor.

The world after the snow is pure and peaceful, as if covered by a soft blanket. Strings of crystal clear icicles hang under the eaves, flashing cold and beautiful light.

Godfather led Young Master Chu through the courtyard and toward the lake.

The lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the sky and surrounding buildings, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.

The trees by the lake are wrapped in ice and snow, and the branches are hung with crystal icicles, like exquisite pieces of art, showing the magic and beauty of nature.

Godfather stopped and admired the beautiful scenery in front of him. After a long while, he turned to look at Mr. Chu with a warm smile on his face: "Yuchen, new year, new atmosphere, what are your plans?"

Young Master Chu smiled and repeated his plan...

The two continued to walk along the lake, enjoying this rare peaceful moment.

Soon, they came to an exquisite pavilion.

Steaming hot tea and exquisite snacks had already been prepared in the pavilion, which was obviously arranged by someone in advance.

Godfather walked into the pavilion, sat on the stone bench, and motioned for Young Master Chu to sit down as well.

Young Master Chu sat opposite his godfather. He picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and felt the fragrance of the tea spreading in his mouth.

Godfather looked at Young Master Chu and asked gently, "Yuchen, do you feel the burden on you is heavy?"

Young Master Chu frowned slightly, put down his teacup, raised his head, glanced at his godfather, pondered for a moment, and nodded with a somewhat absurd expression: "It does feel a little heavy."

"You brat, I think your skin is itchy."

When godfather saw Young Master Chu's asking-for-a-beating look, he couldn't help but laugh.

Young Master Chu said with a grin, "Godfather, just tell me what you have planned. It feels weird to ask me all of a sudden like this."

"I want you to be in charge of all military research and development in Daxia."

Young Master Chu's eyes lit up instantly, he raised his head abruptly and met his godfather's eyes. This seemed to indicate that he was preparing to be promoted.

Will there be one more golden bean on the shoulder?
