Chapter 336 New Year's Eve
Zhu Jinghong stood outside for a quarter of an hour when a eunuch came out and called him in.
However, when he entered the palace, his action of slapping snowflakes made the emperor dissatisfied, and he scolded him again.
So Zhu Jinghong did not feel comfortable eating this dinner.
In fact, except Zhu Yunsheng, everyone at the scene felt uncomfortable.
The prince and Prince Rui were hostile to each other, Chen Zhi and Yuan Chunxu were at odds with each other, the queen was worried about her son's quarrel, and the emperor couldn't stand the prince's weakness
On the surface of harmony, the banquet lasted for a whole day The hour ended, and the three brothers Zhu Jinghong said goodbye and left.
It is now the end of the twelfth lunar month, and when the ten years of orthodoxy are coming to an end, all government offices in the imperial city are very busy.
According to accounts, recording merits, rewards and punishments, and promotions must be handled before the end of the year, so that each government office can rest peacefully in the first month.
Of course, as the emperor, Zhu Xianming will be even busier. He is receiving envoys and giving banquets to his ministers. The whole day is basically full.
When the emperor himself became busy, his control over his son would weaken, so Zhu Jinghong lived a relaxed life for a few more days.
Every day he either practices riding and shooting with the guards, or goes hunting with some young officers in Shanglinyuan. The main thing is to be "not doing his job properly".
Of course, Zhu Jinghong did not miss studying, but instead of going to Wenhua Hall, he went to the East Hall of Kunning Palace.
In a blink of an eye, the time comes to the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is New Year’s Eve.
Even on the last day of the year, the palace is still very busy.
For example, in Kunning Palace at this moment, the Queen is summoning Mrs. Gaoming, and those summoned today are all in the first rank.
At this moment, Jia Mu also entered the palace and was talking to a group of ladies in the corridor outside the main hall. This was almost impossible to do in the past. It was obviously due to the influence of Yuanchun's enfeoffment.
People outside were chatting, but the newly promoted first-grade imperial ministers who were summoned in the palace were listening to the queen's instructions.
In the room on the west side of the main hall, more than a dozen palace ladies are ready. Each of them is carrying a tray with bright and gorgeous crown clothes neatly stacked on top.
Obviously, these things will be given to the new emperors outside.
Everything goes on in an orderly manner, but sometimes accidents happen suddenly.
Because the palace is very large and requires additional lighting even during the day, there are four candlesticks in the room at the moment.
There was no problem at first, but suddenly a strong gust of wind blew open the closed window and knocked down one of the lamps.
Just in time, the candle fell onto one of the trays. Although the nearest palace maid tried her best to save it, a hole was burned into the red dress.
"What can we do?"
The maids in the room hurriedly came forward to watch. When they saw the holes in their clothes, they were so frightened that they even forgot to close them. The window was blown open.
The leading female officer was also extremely anxious.Now he is about to be rewarded. How can he do it if one of his clothes is damaged?
Although Shangfu Bureau still has stock, it will take at least two quarters of an hour to get there and back, and there is no time at all.
At this moment, a cold voice came from outside, "What's going on?"
Everyone looked at it carefully, but it was the female officer of the Shangfu Bureau. Her coming meant that the reward would be given to the general. Start soon.
The leading female officer looked anxious and reported, "Hu Shangfu, the wind blew down the candlestick just now and burned one of his clothes"
"What"
Hu Shangfu's eyes widened, and he quickly stepped forward to push away the people blocking him, and saw a hole in his clothes.
"You idiots are too careless, how can you explain this to the empress?"
Hu Shangfu scolded fiercely, and he was thinking of countermeasures, but he had no time to think about it.
"It's so good, why are you making a quarrel?"
Hearing this sound, everyone looked towards the door, but it was Zhu Yunsheng who was wandering around bored and several people who were playing with her. A waiter reads.
Before anyone could answer, Zhu Yunsheng entered the room and said with a smile, "What a good thing, let me see."
Everyone quickly moved out of the way, and then Zhu Yunsheng I saw a hole burned into the tray.
"Princess, they are doing things carelessly, and I am teaching them a lesson," Hu Shangfu replied.
Zhu Yunsheng asked, "I will be rewarded soon, do you have any remedy?"
Despite his young age, Zhu Yunsheng saw the key problem at a glance.
"I am worried about this. If I can't do anything, I can only report it to the empress. I will wait and see."
If something goes wrong at this time, it is certain to be severely punished, and Hu Shangfu can also see it. Very understandable.
"I also have one of these clothes, why don't I use them to replace this damaged one"
Everyone looked at Baochai, Hu Shangfu was like grabbing a life-saving straw and hurriedly stepped forward. Asked, "Do you mean what the girl said?"
Baochai smiled and said, "Why should I lie to you?"
Caught Baochai's sleeve, Hu Shangfu was extremely excited, "It's not too late. I also ask the girl to get it quickly. I am very grateful."
"Please wait a moment, dear friends."
Baochai lives in Kunning Palace, and it only takes a few minutes to come and go. When the time came, he brought over a brand new gift, which was exactly the same as the one in the tray.
"Thank you so much, girl, thank you so much, girl" Hu Shangfu beamed with joy.
At this moment, a female official appeared outside the room and informed everyone to get ready. The queen was going to reward the new emperor with official uniforms.
Seeing that the room was getting busy, Zhu Yunsheng led the readers out.
"When did you get this clothes?" Zhu Yunsheng asked the other people's doubts.
Baochai calmly replied, "The Queen gave me a reward a few days ago."
"Why didn't I hear you say that?"
"This minister has always disliked me." It’s flashy, so I didn’t publicize it”
This sentence does not like flashiness, which can be said to be half true and half false. After all, it is true that Baochai was happy and excited when he received the reward.
But her current calm and composed look really made Yang Jingting feel heartbroken. She had never received such a reward before.
As for Zhen Qin, she is simply envious of this and fantasizes about when she will be blessed.
Zhu Yunsheng didn't ask any more questions. After wandering around for a while, she returned to the east hall. She was extremely bored at the moment.
Sitting back on the chair in the study, Zhu Yunsheng said sadly, "Why didn't Brother Thirteen come over? He promised to bring me fireworks."
I just heard Xiangyun say, "Princess, don't worry. , whatever the Thirteenth Master promised, he will definitely do it.”
In Xiangyun’s heart, Zhu Jinghong is the number one hero in the world, so he naturally has unconditional trust in him.
Looking at the look and tone of her words, Baochai couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "I'm afraid this girl is going to fall into trouble too."
Zhen Qin, who was beside her, was not very happy. Well, he secretly said that even this little girl wanted to get in on the act.
"In the next three or four months, Master Thirteen will choose a concubine. I must hurry up to please him," Zhen Qin secretly encouraged herself.
Besides, in the main hall of Kunning Palace, the newly promoted first-grade emperors were all given orders and bowed down to express their gratitude before exiting the hall.
During this free time, Hu Shangfu appeared beside the queen and informed her of the accident just now.
Hearing that it was Baochai who resolved the incident, Yang Qingyin praised her even more, and then ordered Hu Shangfu to supply Baochai with the gift of clothes, and also rewarded her with a jade Ruyi.
The summons in Kunning Palace continued, and the emperor was also summoning civil and military ministers, and batch after batch of officials entered Qianqing Palace.
The emperor and empress never rested in the morning and afternoon, and they didn’t really finish their work until the sun was about to set.
Today is New Year's Eve. After the country's affairs are finished, the emperor and empress have to be busy with Lao Zhu's family affairs.
