The orthodox tenth year, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Today is the Laba Festival. According to the etiquette system, the emperor will give a banquet at Fengtianmen, so Fengtianmen is very lively at this moment.
Civil official Wu Xun sat in east and west seats, bathing in the cold wind and enjoying the emperor's favor, and it was double the emperor's favor.
Just because of the banquet given today, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Xinkan was able to attend, which was unimaginable in the past.
The emperor performed the act of fatherly kindness and sonly filial piety, and all the officials below were shaking their bodies in the cold wind in agreement. Zhu Jinghong felt sorry for these people.
The banquet was noisy all morning before the whole ceremony came to an end, and the half-full officials withdrew one after another.
It’s not that there’s not enough food, it’s that the food is cold due to the cold weather, so it’s impossible to eat it.
Zhu Xianming sent his father back to Ningshou Palace. The three brothers Zhu Jinghong followed him, and the other concubines left the palace with the officials.
After sending the Supreme Emperor back to Ningshou Palace, and after some false politeness, Zhu Xianming took his sons and left, and Ningshou Palace became quiet again.
Looking at the disappointed Emperor in the palace, Concubine Zhen took the medicine bowl from the palace maid and slowly came to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine"
After coughing a few times, Zhu Xinkan took the medicine bowl and said, "My body has become worse and worse recently. I'm afraid It won’t take long.”
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen couldn’t help but feel sad. After getting along with her for so many years, she still had true feelings for the Supreme Emperor.
After drinking the decoction, Zhu Xinkan said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, now that I have talked to the fourth child, you will not have any trouble after my death."
"Your Majesty" Zhen The concubine had tears in her eyes, she really couldn't listen to this.
When Zhu Xinkan was dying and feeling gloomy, Emperor Zhu Xianming was leading his three sons to Kunning Palace.
The Fengtianmen state banquet is over, and there will be a family banquet at Kunning Palace at noon. Today, the juniors are also here.
At this moment, outside the Kunning Palace, the prince and Prince Rui’s children were chasing and quarreling inside, followed by more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, for fear that these young ancestors would bump into each other.
In the main hall of Kunning Palace, Princess Rui Chen Zhi and the crown prince's side concubine Jia Yuanchun were accompanying the queen to talk in the side hall.
"According to my daughter-in-law's wish, I might as well just give her a reward. On the one hand, this thing is valuable and rare, and on the other hand, it can also save money." Chen Zhi gave her opinion.
The current discussion is about year-end rewards for domestic and foreign wives. Chen Zhi naturally puts himself in the queen's shoes.
"This is not to say that everything is like this. Those who are below the first grade can still be given gold and silver, or gold hairpins, etc."
Chen Zhi kept talking. After all, she also had some money. The idea of becoming a Crown Princess and then being upgraded to a Queen in the future is now equivalent to adapting in advance.
Listening to Chen Zhi talking non-stop, the queen looked at the silent Yuanchun and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
If it were in the past, Yuanchun would definitely say but BingmuShe will make the decision later, but now she is very likely to become the crown princess, so her words will have to change.
"Mother, I think it is better to give silver of first grade or more as in previous years"
"There is not much silver in the first place, and we can't save much here. If we let I think the royal family is stingy, but the gains outweigh the losses."
When she heard that Yuan Chun dared to veto herself, Chen Zhi suddenly became furious, but she did not dare to explode in front of the queen.
"Sister, what you said is wrong. Thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from heaven. I should have my duty as a minister. Do we, the royal family, still have to look up to her?"
Yuan Chun said it right The words make sense, Chen Zhi is just fighting for the sake of leverage.
At this time, Yang Qingyin said, "Each person is given fifty taels of silver. The total number of first-grade imperial edicts is only fifty-two. The total is only two thousand six hundred taels of silver. It's not a large amount, so let's distribute it as usual." ”
Since she wants to establish Yuanchun as the crown princess, the queen must protect her face, so she must speak to her at this moment.
"What the queen said is absolutely true. It is my daughter-in-law who is short-sighted." Chen Zhi quickly admitted her mistake. She did not dare to tell the queen the opposite.
"Counting the time, they should be here too, let's go out too."
At this moment, in the main hall of Kunning Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs are busy, and the banquet has basically been arranged. .
In addition to the main position of the emperor and empress, there are eight tables on the left and right sides of the hall to accommodate the prince and his grandchildren.
As soon as Yang Qingyin arrived at the main hall, she heard someone outside reporting that the emperor was coming, so everyone hurried out to greet him.
When Yang Qingyin walked out of the door, she saw Zhu Xianming holding Prince Rui's youngest son in his arms and walking in, talking and laughing.
Behind him were the three princes, followed by the other royal granddaughters, and Zhu Yunsheng mixed in among them.
Being called aunt, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel how beautiful she was, so she liked being with the children very much.
"Oh, the queen came out in person. This is really rare." Zhu Xianming was quite surprised.
The queen said, "You have said that I don't respect you all the time. Is it wrong to come out to greet you in person now?"
"It's freezing cold today, so why do you have to come out in person?" What's wrong with being cold?"
Hearing the old couple's show of affection, Zhu Jinghong felt sour in his heart. He, a dignified prince and prince, now doesn't even have a woman.
Zhu Jinghong could only feel dissatisfied with these damn royal rules.
Ignoring the emperor, Yang Qingyin waved to his back and said, "Chun'er, come here quickly."
Zhu Muchun is the eldest son of the crown prince and Zhu Xianming's eldest grandson. , the queen was naturally dissatisfied with the cold treatment she received at this moment.
The two children came to the queen's side, respectfully called "grandmother", and were led into the palace by the queen.
Looking at the little grandson in his arms, the emperor naturally understood what the queen meant. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only keep it in his heart.
"Still stunnedWhatever you want to do, just go in." Zhu Xianming put down his little grandson in his arms.
How could everyone dare to disobey his will? They all entered the hall one by one and sat down under the guidance of the female officer.
The ones sitting at the front are naturally the Crown Prince and Prince Rui, the two tables below them are Zhu Jinghong and Zhu Yunsheng, and further down are the royal grandchildren.
Farewell. Seeing these children chasing and playing just now, everyone in the hall is sitting upright now, and even their voices have become very quiet.
Zhu Jinghong has also taken a seat. Opposite her is Zhu Yunsheng, who is still standing behind. Several attendants
After the emperor and empress sat down, Zhu Jingyuan was the first to stand up with his cup, and everyone else followed suit.
This was an example of a family banquet. During the ceremony, Zhu Jinghong faced the throne and said respectfully, "I wish my father, the emperor, and my mother good health and a long life."
Everyone else also followed suit. After the emperor and the empress raised their glasses in response, everyone After finishing their glasses, they went back to their seats.
"How is your health lately, fourth brother?" Zhu Jingyuan said with concern, "Reporting to my mother, my son has been doing well recently. He is healthy, but has a cough from time to time."
The prince did not tell the truth. Everyone at the scene knew that the queen was just looking for a reason to talk.
The next moment, she said, " It seems that this girl Yuanchun has taken good care of you. I didn't misjudge you."
Praising Yuanchun at this time made Chen Zhi beside King Rui feel even more sad. After all, she was the one present. The only serious daughter-in-law, Yuan Chun, is nothing more than a concubine.
"The queen is too praised. Taking care of the prince is the responsibility of the son, so how can the son dare to take the credit?"
Yang Qingyin laughed. He smiled, then looked at the emperor beside him and said, "Look, this kid is very sensible."
Zhu Xianming responded without saying a word, he knew what the queen meant. < /p>
