Relatively speaking, Chonghua Hall is a more spacious place and can accommodate more people for banquets held here.
The so-called family banquet is naturally the emperor's family banquet. Those present today will be the emperor's concubines, as well as a group of sons and grandsons.
Before the emperor and empress arrived, the concubines living in the harem arrived one after another, and chatting with each other was quite relaxed and pleasant.
Because of Yang Qingyin’s existence, there were no such things as crows, dogs and thieves in the harem, so these people were usually very harmonious.
The concubines who have children are even more looking forward to their children entering the palace early so that they can meet and talk.
Princes who were born as concubines were not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. Their treatment was far worse than that of legitimate sons such as Zhu Jinghong, and they rarely had the opportunity to enter the palace throughout the year.
As time went by, princes and princesses came to the Chonghua Hall one after another. When they saw their mother, they immediately greeted them.
The Prince and Prince Rui’s families also arrived one after another, which attracted a group of brothers to come to pay homage, even leaving their own mother aside.
This behavior is easy to understand, because the candidate for the next emperor must be one of the prince and Prince Rui.
If you want to be Prince Xiaoyao in the future, how can you not fawn over these two.
Unlike Prince Rui, Zhu Jinghong was not very comfortable at the moment because he was entangled with his own sister.
On the side of the palace road, Zhu Yunsheng looked angry and said angrily, "Zhu Jinghong, you clearly promised me that you would bring fireworks into the palace, but you actually lied to me."
"Ugh Wuwu"
Looking at Zhu Yunsheng venting his anger, Zhu Jinghong said with embarrassment, "Third sister, please keep your voice down, if mother hears it, it will be terrible."
This matter Zhu Jinghong admitted that he had forgotten about it due to negligence.
But it’s not entirely his fault. He was so happy with the projects arranged by Hou Jing in the past two days, how could he remember his little sister’s advice?
"How can you, the greatest warrior of the Ming Dynasty, actually lie to a little girl like me? It's so bad." Zhu Yunsheng was indignant.
After looking at the other girls in the room, they all looked disappointed, which made Zhu Jinghong feel that the matter was serious.
Seeing that Zhu Yunsheng was still making trouble, Zhu Jinghong quickly stepped forward to comfort "Third sister, aren't they just fireworks? I'll just get them for you"
"Deng An"
< p>"The slave is here" Deng An stepped forward quickly."You think of a way to buy some fireworks"
Hearing this, Deng An looked embarrassed, "Thirteenth Master, these fireworks are forbidden, how dare you bring them into the palace?" "
Fireworks contain gunpowder and must be strictly controlled in the palace. Of course, Deng An cannot bring them in because of his dignity.
These words reminded Zhu Jinghong that even he should be a little cautious. After all, it is not good to bring gunpowder to the palace.
"Then take Xiyuan, we will go to Xiyuan later"
Compared with the heavily guarded palace, Xiyuan does not have so many scruples, and the place is spacious, so go Setting off fireworks is a reunionToo uncomfortable.
"Yes" Deng An agreed, although it was still a bit difficult.
Turn around, Zhu Jinghong looked at the Zhu family girls and asked, "What do you think, Third Sister?"
"Thank you, Thirteenth Brother"
Zhu Yunsheng He managed his expression very well, and his smile was restored at this moment, which made Zhu Jinghong shake his head.
"Brother Thirteen, let's go to Chonghua Palace quickly, don't keep our parents waiting"
"Let's go"
Brother and sister two The people reconciled as before and continued to chat and headed to Chonghua Hall.
When they arrived at the place, people greeted Zhu Jinghong one after another, which showed how different the status of his legitimate son was.
After greeting a group of common men, Zhu Jinghong greeted the fourth and sixth sons one after another, and then sat back in his chair.
At this moment, a stage has been set up in the courtyard in front of the palace, and nearly a hundred musicians are ready under the stage. Apparently there will be a song, dance, and drama performed soon.
It is freezing cold right now, and it is really cold to perform outside, but what the royal family wants is a pomp, and whether you watch it or not is secondary.
As Zhu Jinghong sat down on the porch, the eunuch sent him a stove for his hands and feet, so he was not afraid of the wind, snow and cold.
"Wait a moment"
"Thirteenth Master, please give me instructions"
"Bring a few more hand stoves and give them to the princess' attendants"
"Yes"
Strictly speaking, this is against the rules, but since it is Zhu Jinghong, how can the people below dare to refuse.
After a while, the things were delivered to Baochai and others, allowing them to receive the warmth of winter.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel unbalanced, so he said, "Brother Thirteen really cares about you, more than my biological sister."
At this time Zhen Qin said "Princess, the Thirteenth Master also cares about you a lot. He has done all the things you asked, and even got a lot of trouble for you."
If you think about it carefully, Zhu Yun Sheng did not elaborate on this aspect, but looked at Zhen Qin and said, "Sister Qin, you care so much about Brother Thirteen. After he will be crowned king next year, why don't you choose his princess?"
Oops, the princess found out what she was thinking, and it was so embarrassing to say it in public. Zhen Qin started to add drama to her heart.
But no one present could see her little thought.
To Zhen Qin’s surprise, the other three did not speak. Only Xiangyun looked at Baochai and the others with a thoughtful look on his face, and then smiled inadvertently.
"Princess, don't say that, I am just your attendant." Zhen Qin became even more coquettish.
Zhu Yunsheng thought this "silly sister" was quite funny, so he went on to say, "What's wrong with this? Ming Dynasty didn't say that the attendants couldn't choose the princess."
"As long as I am If it is accurate, you will all pass the primary election directly, and then you can directly participate in the third round of re-election."
Baochai and Yang Jingting all know what Zhu Yunsheng said, so the key to the problem is, how to make it happen? The queen agreed to run.
Originally, Yang Jingting was not worried about this matter, because she knew that if she came to be an attendant, the queen would train her to be her daughter-in-law
But now, her aunt values Baochai more and more, which makes Yang Jingting worried. , afraid that he would miss Zhu Jinghong.
Like her, Baochai is also extremely worried because her biological father is gone, which is her biggest flaw.
Although the royal concubine does not pay attention to family status, it still chooses a harmonious and beautiful family. The person who lost his father at a young age is easily regarded as a young and lucky person.
So Zhu Yunsheng's words made both Baochai and Yang Jingting extremely sad, and their expressions were visibly gloomy.
"Your Majesty has arrived"
The shouts outside immediately aroused tension inside and outside the palace. Everyone came out of the hall and soon people were kneeling on the ground inside the palace gate. .
A few breaths later, the emperor and empress appeared together. The two were walking and chatting, ignoring the man who was kneeling now.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor"
"Well, get up," Zhu Xianming responded casually.
The concubines, princes, and grandsons at the scene all hoped that the emperor would take a look at them, but unfortunately, all their ideas came to nothing.
After entering the palace gate, the emperor only summoned Zhu Muchun, the eldest son of the crown prince, and asked about his studies and life.
Soon the emperor took his seat, everyone else also sat back in their seats, and the banquet officially began.
Although it is a family banquet, it is relatively formal this time, so there are many rules when it comes to eating.
What puzzled Zhu Jinghong was that the Supreme Emperor did not come today.
You must know that in the past New Year's Eve, the Supreme Emperor would attend the Chonghua Hall family banquet, so it is even more appropriate to come this year.
Many people present had the same doubts. Zhu Xianming also noticed this and explained that the Emperor was unable to attend because of physical discomfort.
Zhu Xinkan is seventy years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that the loess is buried in his neck. Physical discomfort is also normal. Please remember to collect it.
