"Yes, Your Majesty, and the rest of Japan also has a high production of silver, and the Satsuma Domain also has a large amount of silver, if Your Majesty can help the Shimazu family, the head of the family will definitely be able to come up with silver that satisfies Your Majesty." The envoy made a big promise, and at this time he also reacted, wanting Da Ming's help, and lure was the best choice.

From the last time the Ming Emperor swallowed the tribute and did not return the tribute, it can be seen that the contemporary Ming Emperor is quite greedy for money.

"Very well, you go down first, and I will summon you." Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and made a promise to reassure the envoy a little.

"The winter solstice court will end, and the ministers will be feasted." Liu Ruoyu stood up at the right time and announced that there was no military parade at this year's court meeting, the square was not repaired, and the soldiers and horses were not in Beijing. Moreover, the two great powers of Indochina, Siam and Chenla, have submitted very respectfully, and Japan is far from having time to attack.

With Liu Ruoyu's sharp voice, the winter solstice court meeting of the third year of the Apocalypse ended, and then, there was a grand banquet held by the emperor, of course, in the harem, the palace banquet held by the queen Zhang Yan as the host was also going on simultaneously.

In the Imperial Palace, there are civil ministers and military generals, officials such as internal government stewards, and in the harem, they are all Mrs. Decree in Beijing, which is the canonization of women, is graded, and is also the basis for the queen's banquet.

As the center, the queen naturally surrounded a lot of edicts, and as for the two concubines, they didn't come, but just entertained their mothers and some relatives in their own bedrooms. The whole banquet was a stage for the queen alone.

This is also natural, the queen is the master of the harem, and she is responsible for all the big and small things. Although they only gave birth to a daughter before, they lost the opportunity a little, but the two of them didn't move at all, which can't help but make people suspicious. Even, some rumors have come out recently, saying that the emperor specially asked the two concubines about the date of the sunflower, which is said to be a method that can prevent pregnancy.

This rumor is ferocious, and it spreads all over the palace at once, and even the Beijing government and the opposition, for this rumor, only the two concubines know in their hearts, this is probably true, about seven or eight days before and after their sunflower, the emperor will not leave the dragon seed in their bodies at all, either they are not pampered, looking for other low-level concubines, or they are wasted outside the body.

This move made them quite frustrated, and the little caution after the queen gave birth to her daughter also disappeared, and the emperor was so fond of the queen that they all felt that they could not fight, so they extinguished the idea of fighting for the heir.

Of course, the ministers are happy to see this situation come to pass, the emperor loves the queen, it is the best situation, if the queen can give birth to a son, it is even better, the royal family has no disputes, it is the blessing of the empire.

Being in the group of noble ladies, listening to them compliment themselves with this, Zhang Yan's little face was also red and overjoyed. No matter what, she is only a girl in her early twenties, and when she needs emotions, the emperor's favor just meets her needs, and the compliments of everyone also satisfy her vanity.

"Queen Mother, these three are ......." The wife of Xu Xi, the original Duke of the Kingdom, asked because of her age.

Although Xu Xi's dukedom was deprived and the land under his name was gone, his connections and real estate were still there.

His own duke is gone, but it doesn't mean that his wife's edict is gone, this is generally not a crime and will not be taken back, so this time Mrs. Xu was also invited. Xu Xi also agreed very much, he had been away from the center for a long time, and he could only explore the situation through the wife's route.

Mrs. Xu is old and refined, and after complimenting her, she naturally shifted the topic to the three young girls behind the queen, she has watched it for a long time, no matter where she goes, the queen takes them and talks with them intimately, in the palace, it is rare for the queen to have this kind of relationship.

"Oh, look at the memory of this palace, I forgot to introduce it to the ladies." Zhang Yan made a gesture of shame, and then quickly pulled the three girls out.

"These are the three younger sisters of the Long Live Lord, I brought them here today, mainly because of everyone's face and seeing the world." Zhang Yan pulled one of the little girls who looked quite quiet and said, "This is Zhu Huiyan, line five." ”

"This is Zhu Huijing, line six."

"This is Zhu Huiyuan, line eight."

"Come, sisters, say hello to the ladies." Zhang Yan said with a smile, they are all quite old, so although the three younger sisters are all princesses, there is nothing wrong with the first salute.

"Zhu Huiyan has seen all the ladies!"

"Zhu Huijing has seen all the ladies!"

"Zhu Huiyuan has seen all the ladies!"

The three little girls all saluted in a proper manner, and their faces were not dissatisfied, except for shyness, showing excellent upbringing. The ladies present were a little ignorant, some monkey spirits and monkey spirits, so they could naturally see that they were sincere or reluctant, and they suddenly knew the quality of these girls.

Of course, just do it in your heart, and no one will say it on your face.

"All right, ladies, take your seats!" Seeing that the banquet was arranged, Zhang Yan spoke.

When the queen spoke, naturally everyone disobeyed, and they all found a place to sit according to the size of their official position in the family.

"The three mothers of General Li, let's all do it here!" Seeing that San Li's mother seemed to be looking for a place, Zhang Yan beckoned them to sit down.

"Huh?" A few people were stunned for a moment, and they didn't feel anything, so they sat down, but the others didn't see it that way, and all kinds of thoughts came out of their hearts.

Although they are all women's families, they have an extremely close relationship with the government and government, and the queen is also the mother of the world, and there is a profound political meaning behind any move.

"Thank you, mother." The women were all from the market, and they didn't think so much, but they thought that the queen saw that they couldn't find a place and helped them, so she came over and thanked them and sat down.

There was no one else at this table, except for the queen, who were three princesses.

"The feast begins." The female officer Qiu Zhu shouted, and then started.

"Eat them all." Zhang Yan said with a smile, and then took the lead in moving the chopsticks.

Others also started to move, and among the women, they were all chatting with their parents, even if they were noblewomen, and at the moment while eating, they also chatted with each other. The queen's table is no exception, and it was Zhang Yan who took the initiative to speak.

"Ladies, what do you think of these three sisters in this palace."

"Ahh The three women who were supposed to ask the question were stunned, and Li Tu's mother finally chewed a piece of meat, which looked a little funny.

"Poof." Zhu Huiyuan, who was the most active and bold, couldn't help laughing.

"The mother smiled." Li Tu's mother swallowed quickly, a little ashamed.

"Nothing to do, Mrs. can see her true temperament in this way, eat when you want, drink when you want, and don't have any troubles." Zhang Yan said with a smile, quite a feeling of admiration.

"How do the ladies look at these three sisters of the palace?" After a pause, she asked again, which was also a digression.

Li Tao's mother replied, her father-in-law is a small official in the central hall of Beijing, and he is also literate and knowledgeable, knowing that the queen will not ask this easily, so he replied cautiously, "Several princesses are beautiful and well-educated, and they are all rare beauties." ”

This is the truth, after generations of beauties marrying in, generations of genetic improvement, there are no ugly people in the old Zhu family, and several princesses are also like this, Chunlan Qiuju, each has its own merits.

"In this case, the palace is in charge, and intends to marry the three sisters to the three generals, you ladies don't know what?" Zhang Yan smiled at the corner of her mouth and directly stated her purpose.

"Ahh Li Yuyu's mother was startled, the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a click, and she looked up in dismay, "Niangniang, this ......."

She wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare to speak. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary person, they all know that talented people and aspiring people must not marry a princess, and marrying a princess is equivalent to cutting off their career and no further development.

Zhang Yan was shrewd, so she naturally saw her worries, and explained, "Long live the lord is the male master, get rid of the old system, after marrying the princess, naturally you don't have to step down from various positions as before, or do what you should do, maybe after becoming a family, you will do more." ”

Zhang Yan punned, but it's a pun, she flattered her eyes to the blind man, and she was doing some vulgar market ladies, and she didn't understand the meaning of these words, even if she took the princess's troubles, it was Li Yuyu's mother who had been in the military for generations who reacted first, and the other two didn't think of these at all, and they were still immersed in the fantasy of becoming a relative of the emperor.

"This, naturally, is good, but the old body can't be the master, and I have to go back and ask my father-in-law and fishing." Li Yuyu's mother replied.

"Well, that's true, this palace told me that it was just a few of us to see how the younger sisters of this palace behaved, and then naturally a matchmaker came to the door to match this matter." Zhang Yan nodded.

"The matchmaker is the second assistant Xu, so don't turn him away when the time comes."

"Lord Xu!" Even if she is an ignorant woman, she has heard Xu Guangqi's name, and the three of them have a feeling of surprise when they hear it, the first assistant protects the media, this ....... is too glorious.

It's basically done.

Although I still have to ask the husband when I go back, several people and women here have such thoughts in their hearts. In fact, if you can continue to develop in the officialdom, it is still very good to marry a princess, which is equivalent to having one more backer and getting closer to the emperor.

As for the three princesses, they had been sitting quietly with their heads bowed and their faces flushed, apparently they had known about it before.

After the matter was done, Zhang Yan also completely devoted herself to the banquet.

In the midst of singing and laughter, the banquet of the Huangji Hall and the Jiaotai Hall was over, and the officials and edicts returned to the house one after another, and the news of the emperor's marriage to the princess naturally spread, causing a shock. However, this is all an internal affair of the imperial family, and the hundred officials will discuss it at most, and just watch the excitement on the side.
