Chapter 17 Fuyuan Honki 14 - Banquet

Tingfang's birthday banquet is still full of guests. Even if it is relegated to the second line and there are fewer people who want to do things, the favor of three festivals and two longevitys cannot be less. Especially when Queen Ye was able to anger Li Chuhui like that, she could easily regain her favor, and now Li Chuhui is pregnant with a child and was born as the grandson of the Ye family. This empress gave birth to a different child, even if Queen Ye fell out of favor, the child was conceived by Li Chuhui herself in October. The empress herself gave birth, and the number of children was even more limited. If you are a little noble, and if you have an ironclad prince and grandson, you will not be befriended, and you will not be offended.

Like the Dingguo Mansion, it is impossible to have a family meal together for a birthday. Ye Han just wanted to go to his mother's birthday, but he couldn't go, so he had to send some gifts and write a note to celebrate his birthday. On the same day, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Dingguo Mansion. Tingfang's birthday banquet is usually held for three days, she is the county lord, and the first day she came was the royal family and the mansions of various princes. The banquet and drinking have long since changed the customs, and the female officials have infiltrated the center, and it is impossible to separate men and women as before, and the defense of men and women has not been much affected because of women's careers and work. As long as someone accompanies you, it is still easy to see a foreign man. It's a huge leap forward.

The first three separate recruitment of women's subjects, because the number of women competing for anger is really a bit stumbling, the vast majority of women still recognize their husbands and children, so the separate recruitment of women's subjects has continued to this day, and only the number of admissions is relatively small. Reluctantly lure a big family to hit the big luck. However, the imperial examination, which has both arts and sciences, still needs to be cantilevered by the head. In Ting Fang's previous life, the remarks of a poor son and a rich daughter are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, let alone now? It is already very good that the central officials can achieve a ratio of eight to two men to women.

Of course, Li Chuhui's ascension to the throne will be a shot in the arm for women. After all, if there is something good at the top, it will be prosperous at the bottom. The last time someone wanted to give Li Chuhui a man, he immediately followed the trend and sent small fresh meat to the female official. Xia Boguang hates men the most, but she is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, a proper high-ranking official, and she is very attracted to Emperor Zhaoning, and she was stuffed with a group of beautiful men. When I saw the group of little boys who were raised as pets, I remembered my childhood. What if you don't accept it? Will you go back and be put in the bed of a high-ranking official again? At least she can do it without being abusive. Xia Boguang has been living in Qin. The palace is simply in Qin. The palace opened a family school, and when the group of male pets had a skill, they were all driven out and asked to fend for themselves.

There is even worse, sending men to female officials is tantamount to adding blockage to Ting Fang. Her son is now in the palace, and the honor and disgrace of his life are all tied to Li Chuhui's preferences. No matter how good Ye Han's background is, when he was sent to the palace, he broke off his relationship with his family. From ancient times to the present, there has been no rebellion for the sake of children being wronged in the palace. Just like the correspondence between in-laws in officialdom, when it is profitable, the affection has nothing to do with whether the young couple get along or not. Therefore, blatantly setting off a wind of sending men, it is nothing more than a hint that Li Chuhui can accept the harem. Ting Fang has been in power for many years, and there are really too many people who have offended.

At the same time, the Ye and Xu families have an iron law that they are not allowed to take concubines. Yang Yike, the second son of Zhenguo Gongfu, has not had children with Tinglan for many years, and he has to succeed. The Ye family, Ting Yang has no children, and it is a succession as usual. The two families are indeed solemn, and the success rate of their children is extremely high. Relying on the reform of the imperial examination system, basically everyone has an official position, but there are not many who have gained power. Such a family is the most stable, no family can continue to be arrogant, and the rights are gradually shrinking, but the foundation of the scholarly family has been laid, and the descendants are not too wasteful, and the basic food and clothing are worry-free. Therefore, the red-eyed people all secretly looked at the jokes, looking at Mrs. Ye's strong family rules and Li Chuhui's who won and who lost.

Regarding the surging undertide of officials, Ting Fang was unimpressed. Since she spread rumors with Emperor Zhaoning when she was a child, there have never been fewer people with bad intentions. Emperor Zhaoning was very face-saving, and then Li Chuhui and Ye Han's gifts also arrived. People who see jokes immediately turn into envy, jealousy, and hatred. Ting Fang looked at a few people who couldn't hold back their expressions mockingly, the royal relatives who are becoming famous are enough for you to be jealous of the next life! Hehe.

The second day was a positive day, and the people who came were more normal. It is not easy to get to this day after the imperial examination. It's not that they have better hearts than the princes, but everyone is lazy to compete in the backyard. What's more, most of them are officials from Jiangxi, and they are really like ancestors when they treat Tingfang. On this day, everyone was surprised to find that there was a delicate girl standing next to Tingfang, who was the young daughter of Liu Da, the left governor of the Chinese army. Liu Da only had two daughters in his life, the eldest daughter had already been recruited, and the second daughter did not mention marriage. Standing behind Ting Fang at this moment, is this going to be promised to Xu Qing?

Ting Fang happily solved everyone's confusion, it was indeed Xu Qingzhi's fiancée. The two families have very close contacts, Xu Qingzi is reluctant to marry a born, Liu Da's daughter, at least skilled in bow and horse. Regardless of the side, at least the health is good, and it is more able to resist fertility. During Tingfang's reign, it was a very important achievement to encourage women's sports on the grounds of fertility and to enforce scientific knowledge of childbirth and daily care. According to statistics, at least the mortality rate of female dependents in the capital has indeed decreased. Far away, it's up to Li Chuhui.

Ting Fang thought of Li Chuhui and was still a little depressed. Li Chuhui is her student, and it is not in vain to be able to raise a disciple of the empress. Being forced to relinquish power was nothing, and after a few months, she adjusted well. The only thing that feels like Li Chuhui owes is to rob her son. Her stupid and sweet son was coaxed back by Li Chuhui in just a few words, and he is still stupid in the palace. Ting Fang felt a pain in her liver, and hoped that Li Chuhui could really watch the friendship between master and apprentice, and don't be too cruel to Ye Han. In the central mixture, there are really countless open guns and hidden arrows. Naturally, the children of the ministers can't all have a chance, and those who are not very productive are mixed in the realm of the uneyed, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. Ye Han became a queen like that, and he really could only look at Li Chuhui's conscience. Just as Ye Ge Lao looked at his three sons at the beginning, Ting Fang now only has a deep sense of powerlessness.

The third day of the feast is the old days of relatives and friends. Yue's family moved back to the Ye family's old house with their children, and together with the Chen family, they lived on both sides, which also meant looking for a companion. Ye Junde died of illness a few years ago, and the old Hanlin, who scolded Mrs. Ye and the people for a lifetime, also won some respect. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise he would not have vomited blood when he saw Li Chuhui usurping the throne. The former Dingguo husband and wife are also long gone, Xu Jinglin married the daughter of a merchant, attached to the Yue family, and completely withdrew from the circle of the powerful. However, Xu Jiqiu married Qiu Weiran, although Qiu Weiran died early, but in the name of the Duchess of Chengguo, she took a child from the clan and continued to walk with relatives. The land of the major public governments was nationalized, which was converted into dividends from the state-owned enterprises. Due to the prestige of state-owned enterprises in recent years, they are more leisurely than before. Moreover, when Emperor Zhaoning was in power, he vigorously attacked the patriarchy, and the patriarch lost too much power, so he refused to help his relatives as before. In the twenty years of drastic change, many things will change. But Tingfang knows that change is not enough. The power of the individual is so small, and the times are still left to the young people. Although she can still be called an outstanding young man in later generations, in ancient times, she was really old.

The lively banquets and rich rewards all show the grace of Tingfang to the officialdom. But Tingfang has plunged headlong into the abyss of mathematics and will not look back. She found the passion when she was studying in her previous life, the numbers beating in front of her, and the regret of not being able to go to graduate school in her previous life due to economic conditions, all urging her to work hard. There is no happier scientist than her, working in the same room with the emperor, there is no need to find sponsorship and support, after solving one problem after another, Tingfang began to be happy.

As soon as Ting Fang entered the realm of selflessness, Ye Han became depressed. In the past, he lived at home, and no matter how busy Tingfang was, he could always see him. At least ask about your homework and martial arts every day. Now living in the palace is extremely inconvenient. Tingfang was inconvenient to disturb when she was working, and after the work was over, she and Xu Jingchang went home sweetly holding hands! Ye Han can't see his parents for half a month, and the children who haven't left home for 20 years miss him very much.

In order to make him happy, Li Chuhui made a post and invited Xu Jingchang and his wife to come to the palace for a banquet on the winter solstice. The winter solstice is also a big festival, most of the families are reunited, Li Chuhui is lazy to spend the festival with a group of concubines, and the two husbands and wives are left and lonely, so they invited Xu Jingchang and his wife into the palace.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the winter solstice, Emperor Zhaoning wanted to come to join in the fun, leaving a group of concubines and princesses behind, and jumped to Kunning Palace. He's coming, which one is better to drive him away? He sat down on the kang with a big grin, and commanded: "Since it's a family banquet, don't put so many of them, make a kang table, and let's all eat and drink." It doesn't matter if I'm drunk, I took Xu Jingchang and his family to sleep on my side. The study room on the horizontal vertical was originally Taifu's territory, and she was more familiar than me. ”

Li Chuhui: "......"

was disturbed by her father, Li Chuhui simply went back to the house to change her skirt and put on the fat powder, and turned out her earlier phoenix hairpin to put it on. Ye Han saw it very fresh, after Li Chuhui ascended the throne, he was wearing a dragon robe, in addition to the memories of many years ago, Ye Han also saw her wearing a skirt for the first time. Seeing Ye Han rushing over, Li Chuhui hurriedly stopped: "Don't get close, my hair is delicate, no matter how much hair oil on it can't withstand your fluttering." ”

Ye Han regretfully put down his paws, lying beside him boredly, and looked at Li Chuhui dressed up little by little: "Holy Lord, will you dress like this in the future?" ”

Li Chuhui said: "It's very troublesome, if it weren't for the festival, I would be lazy to spend time tossing this, what's wrong with that effort?" Saying and laughing, "Why don't you put on makeup too, and the two of us pretend to be sisters?" ”

Ye Han said: "Don't!" ”

Li Chuhui teased: "Oh, Sister Han is much better looking than her sister!" ”

Ye Han resolutely refused: "When I was a child, Erchen's third aunt had a bad idea, and teamed up with my little grandmother to dress up the minister as a girl and take her out to eat and drink, and I was laughed at for many years. The saint tosses me again, and I will be laughed at for a lifetime. ”

Li Chuhui asked suspiciously: "Your third aunt is the old lady of Fang Ge, right?" Which is the little grandma? ”

Ye Han said: "Xia Shangshu." ”

Li Chuhui couldn't help laughing and said: "Ah, yes, your surname is Ye, don't you call her a little grandmother?" She's as old as your aunt, and if you call her old, she's going to clean you up. ”

Ye Han said: "Where the seniority is there, what is the way." ”

Li Chuhui said: "Our generation is really messy, my sister-in-law is your aunt, I don't know what to call it." ”

Ye Han smiled: "Reasoning, the minister should follow the title of the saint." ”

Li Chuhui said: "Not only this, but my father sometimes calls the Taifu the fourth sister, which is even more chaotic." The family is like this when it is big, and I can't figure out their kinship in my original family. ”

Ye Han said: "Can the saint not mention it?" ”

Li Chuhui laughed: "You even eat the vinegar of the dead?" ”

Ye Han gritted his teeth and said: "He is Yue Zhao's cousin in the military department!" Raw exactly the same! ”

Li Chuhui: "......" aunt and cousin are somewhat similar, where are they exactly the same! silently decided to transfer the two people who opened the back door and forced it in, otherwise Ye Han would have to remember it for the rest of his life. This bear kid is so good at holding grudges......

Chapter 18 Fuyuan Benki 15 - Family Banquet

Participating in the family banquet of Kunning Palace, Tingfang also wore women's clothes. The red county lord costume wears a gorgeous beaded crown. I put on the fat powder and looked a few years younger. It's beautiful, but it's not the elegance of youth, but another kind of mature charm. At the gate of Kunning Palace, the eunuch entered the inner palace to report. Emperor Zhaoning and Li Chuhui were both in the room, Ye Han walked to the hall to greet him, and led Tingfang and his wife into the house to greet him.

After Li Chuhui received the salute, he got up and personally helped Ting Fang up, and said with a smile: "Today's family banquet, and there is no need to talk about so many rules." My mother only treats me as an ordinary daughter-in-law. ”

It's so face-giving! The daughter-in-law has always been called by her husband, but the husband almost never calls her wife. When the father-in-law died, the son-in-law served the hemp, and his status was the same level as that of his cousin, and he was only a relative, not a serious relative elder. Ye Han's situation is that he is rich, as if his daughter has married someone else's family. Li Chuhui is still the emperor, and when she was a princess, she didn't call her mother-in-law a mother, which is even rarer. Ye Han really burst into a big smile, and Emperor Zhaoning also laughed: "Don't be so angry in private, come up and sit and talk together." Xu Jingchang and your daughter-in-law do one side. ”

Even on the kang, as long as it is a square table, there is dignity and humility. Emperor Zhaoning sat down on his head, and after sitting down, Li Chuhui said: "Chang Geng, you come and sit with me, my father and mother have to let the food serve when they sit outside, it's inconvenient." ”

Ye Han neatly moved to Li Chuhui's side and sat next to him. Tingfang knew at a glance that Ye Han's clingy old problem had given up treatment, but seeing that Li Chuhui was willing to call her mother, it can be seen that the relationship with Ye Han is also good. There are many things she can't control, so she has to think about it.

Ye Han thought more openly, and was treated strictly every year, and he inevitably had the mentality of being drunk tonight. He knew that it was very dangerous to like the emperor, but living in the palace was already very boring, and if he pondered and observed the emperor's preferences every day, and then tried his best to please him, he might die earlier. Isn't it because his parents never taught the bad things outside, just because he couldn't work hard? Being able to persevere until you outlive your parents is a victory. Besides, his parents are no longer in power, and the conflict with Li Chuhui will probably not be too intense. His worst result is just that he is annoyed by Li Chuhui! When that day comes, you may die of a sad illness, or you may be able to do something you like quietly. At least the earth dragon in the palace is quite comfortable.

The palace maid served the dishes in an orderly manner, and Ye Han asked with a smile: "Mom, when will my brother come back?" ”

Ting Fang smiled: "Ask the Holy Lord." ”

Li Chuhui said: "And after the spring, Mongolia is hungry for a winter, and it is inevitable that I will think about robbery." In the summer they have to graze, but it is better. At that time, I will make a marriage will, and watch the excitement. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Thank you." ”

Emperor Zhaoning said: "Chu Hui, the marriage of your two sisters should be managed. ”

Li Chuhui said politely: "I don't care about it, my father chooses someone to go." Or tell her to choose from herself, and see who can get into her eyes. There is only one child, and those who have made up their minds are not allowed to make up their minds. ”

Emperor Zhaoning knew that the two sisters were not compatible, so he was reluctant to do so, so he had to say: "What does she know, you don't care, what bad idea does she have!" ”

Li Chuhui said: "The royal princess can't suffer a loss, and some of the nobles want to be the lord." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Zhaoning said with a painful heart: "Now that you have ascended the throne, the princess in the future can also ascend the throne." Have you thought about it, what if you give birth to a girl and want to make a prince, the princess? ”

Li Chuhui said: "When the time comes, the Ministry of Rites has recruitment." ”

Emperor Zhaoning asked again: "Does the princess's son want to attack the prince?" ”

Li Chuhui smiled gloomily: "Attack, as long as he can pass the test!" ”

Emperor Zhaoning choked on the wine: "You won't let my grandson also participate in the exam, right?" ”

Li Chuhui pouted: "In the future, my grandson will not have the same exam." I can't pass the test with such good conditions, what's the matter with me! ”

Emperor Zhaoning said angrily: "You have the ability to ask your son to pass the exam and then be knighted!" ”

Li Chuhui shot back decisively: "Then I'll change it now, except for your fourth son, I can't even get a county king." The second princess and the third princess on your heart, are you the county lord in the exam? ”

Emperor Zhaoning: "......"

Li Chuhui mercilessly inserted the knife: "Father, you really don't know how to take a child!" ”

Emperor Zhaoning's angry fried hair: "So I don't want you to take the throne, girls are outgoing!" Before the child was born, he went to his mother-in-law's house when he spoke! ”

Xu Jingchang: What is the matter with his family in the ......?

Li Chuhui snorted: "You are still too old to teach." ”

Emperor Zhaoning was speechless and kicked Li Chuhui hard: "Shut up and eat!" "Isn't it just a little bit of a little So jealous! Embarrassed to scare Ye Han. Ah, yes, it's all taught by Ting Fang! This is the openly jealous grandfather! As soon as he got engaged, he dared to tell him that Xu Jingchang would break his leg if he took a concubine. After so many years, she has really done it, not only has she done it, but her family is not allowed to take concubines! This possessiveness is really in the same vein!

What made Emperor Zhaoning even more depressed was that five people gathered around a table. Tingfang never drank alcohol, and even Xu Jingchang's wife and slave also didn't drink alcohol. Ye Han drank a glass of wine once in his life, and vomited the next day. Li Chuhui was pregnant with a child, and he couldn't drink it. He held a cup alone for a long time, and he didn't even have anyone to accompany him! How cheap was he to leave a bunch of concubines who could drink together, and come to eat with these four wonders? Is your banquet really homely?

The palace maid served the food slowly, and Li Chuhui greeted Tingfang: "The bald butter that came in the day before yesterday, I ate it well, and my mother tasted it." ”

Ting Fang said with a smile: "On days when there are no crabs, I rely on it to satisfy my hunger." ”

Li Chuhui said with a wooden face: "The imperial doctor said that he was cold and was not allowed to eat." ”

Ye Han said: "But you still ate it secretly." ”

Li Chuhui pinched Ye Han: "You dare to betray me!" It's okay to eat a little. ”

Ting Fang nodded: "It doesn't matter if you don't eat much." The queen can't eat it, he can't touch it. ”

Ye Han looked at his mother sadly, can you not mention it? When he was a child, he was greedy, so he took a bite of Xu Qing's spoon, and then there was no more. His spleen and stomach are a sinkhole! I envy Xu Qing for eating Ma Ma Xiang. Xu Qing also loved him very much, and sent anything delicious to his mouth. For this matter, Xu Qingzhen was beaten a lot.

Emperor Zhaoning said: "You can't keep your mouth shut?" It's only been a few months, and I can't suffocate you. After speaking, looking at Li Chuhui's stomach became even more depressed. The shadow left by Tingfang's dystocia was too big for him, and from Tingfang, he knew that no matter how fierce a woman was, it was useless, and he couldn't run away as usual when it was time to give birth. For fear that Li Chuhui would also come to such a situation, he directly said to Eunuch Zhao, who was standing on the side: "You keep an eye on her for me, don't let her touch a bite that shouldn't be eaten!" ”

Li Chuhui glared at Ye Han, it's all your fault!

Ye Han smiled straightly, he couldn't control Li Chuhui, and he was the one who lived by himself.

Xu Jingchang looked at the expressions of the little couple and couldn't help but smile. Except for Ye Han, all of them were human spirits. Emperor Zhaoning snorted twice at Xu Jingchang: "Satisfied!" ”

Xu Jingchang: "......"

Ye Han didn't know what dumb riddle Emperor Zhaoning and Xu Jingchang were playing, so he turned his head and asked Tingfang: "Mom, I'm in a panic at home, is it okay to go with you to study mathematics?" Wuyingdian is in the palace and is not afraid of catching a cold. ”

Ting Fang said: "Then you will cross the square and go to the Arrow Pavilion to practice archery?" ”

Ye Han said: "I'll go after practicing arrows." ”

Ting Fang couldn't help but say, "What about palace affairs?" Math is plunged in, and it can occupy your day. ”

Ye Hanfang choked when he remembered that there was still palace affairs. He hadn't seen the ledger yet.

Li Chuhui smiled: "Thank you father, the palace concubine is full of courtyards, there is no need to ask Chang Geng to care about the trivial things he doesn't love." There are as many people in charge as there are in the world, and it is rare to be able to show their talents in research. If mom can bring Chang Gung out, thank you very much. The steamships of France have been opened, and they can travel twenty or thirty miles in an hour. Daddy asks me every day for someone, and I really don't have a clue about this. Now that there is one more R&D talent, it is good for Chang Gung to be able to start. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Ships are a major event and should not be taken lightly. Although we don't need to cross the sea, like Westerners who see who fights whom, we also have the ability to protect ourselves. The fleet must have it, otherwise even if there are artillery batteries along the coast, their rear is safe and even more unscrupulous. It has only been more than 20 years since the reform of the imperial examination, and there are many people who like to look at the top, and if the saint shows great value, he can provoke those rich people to raise some talents to sell well. Now the Ministry of Defense is really short of people and crazy. ”

Ye Han said with a smile: "In this case, I will go to assist my mother one day, fortunately, it is a signboard." ”

Li Chuhui nodded: "It's okay." ”

The matter was finalized. On the fact that the queen is in charge of palace affairs, Ting Yao and Tingfang have mentioned it, but Li Chuhui really doesn't worry about calling Ye Han to take charge. The palace is full of human spirits, and it is not easy to fool Ye Han? As the emperor, she has no shortage of people who can manage palace affairs. She knew what Ting Yao Tingfang wanted, but Ye Han was really so capable, she would never fall into her hands, and she didn't dare to rob it. Ordinary emperor, no matter how good a woman is in the world, he wants it, even if he is married, even if he becomes a mother, no one will raise his eyelids when he grabs it. But she is the empress, and if she wants to marry the minister, she can't marry the slightest bit of power in the minister's family. Speaking of which, Ye Han has nothing bad except for his body bones. Let's be simple, at least not annoying. I have no ability to make my own home, and I have some crooked eyes, I can't sleep, okay! I don't want to mention those embroidered pillows, and she hasn't suffered before.

Ye Han is really smart, he is not focused on personnel, so he seems clumsy. I will never forget the books I have read, if it were not for my congenital deficiencies, Li Chuhui would dare to do it, and I would definitely let Mrs. Ye die. Li Chuhui smiled slightly, Mrs. Ye could no longer find a better daughter-in-law than her, so the awkwardness of their husband and wife would dissipate sooner or later. Isn't it almost over tonight? As for Ye Han's preferences, she is really not acting. In the current situation, science and engineering talents are really scarce. Although Ye Han's body is destined to make a move, he will make a move. In the deceitful court and court, Li Chuhui prefers Ye Han to be simple all the time. The queen and the descendants are going to do research and development, which is good. 166 Reading Network
