Chapter 15 ◎ Birthday Banquet in the Palace

While talking, Chu Yurui caught a glimpse that King Ping had also entered the hall, Chu Yuzhen did not make any eye contact with King Ping, and it seemed that the two did not know each other at all. Chu Yurui, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that the surroundings were a little colder, and looked up, it was really King Zhongyuan.

It was still Mink Qiu, Hua Hesu squinted and entered the main hall, and the courtiers beside him looked at him and saluted, Chu Yurui had no choice but to follow the customs of the villagers and perform a blessing ceremony.

Before the time came, the voice of the eunuch in the distance came: "The emperor has arrived-"

Then they stood up again and saluted.

Emperor Huaxiang is now in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, dressed in bright yellow, sitting on the dragon chair, not angry but mighty. Chu Yurui raised his eyes and looked around, according to etiquette, the seats were arranged according to the rank, and the person closest to Emperor Huaxiang was the most noble, and in addition, they were all respected by the right.

According to this arrangement, Chu Yurui looked at it, and the queen was sitting next to Emperor Huaxiang, and the king of Zhong Rui who was in the back was on the right side, and to Chu Yurui's surprise, the red-clothed man who claimed to be the Su family was actually sitting next to King Zhong Yuan. The king of Ping who met in the palace is located on the first on the left, and there is a man in a python robe who he doesn't know, since he is wearing a python robe, he must also be a king, located on the second right, and there must be a wife sitting next to him.

After that, there are the envoys of various countries, then the sons or daughters of the four great families, and then the civil and military officials and their families.

After Emperor Huaxiang sat down, he looked at the courtiers below with a smile, after all, today was his birthday.

After all the courtiers shouted long live, they congratulated Emperor Huaxiang on his birthday. After everyone returned to their seats and sat down, they enjoyed the singing and dancing. Chu Yurui has never been interested in singing and dancing, only knowing that she hasn't eaten anything since the morning, and her stomach is empty.

It is said that the emperor's birthday is naturally indispensable to eat, but since it is a holy day, it is inevitable to prepare for a period of time, and Chu Yurui did not dare to eat more cold dishes on the table, for fear of diarrhea, so he only stared at the palace maids, hoping that they would bring some hot dishes.

So Chu Yurui who looked east and west in the main hall appeared.

A mouthful of pastry was just stuffed into her mouth, and through the dancer's messy dance sleeves, Chu Yurui's eyes happened to be opposite Hua and Su, and the cheeks were one by one, and the two looked at each other for a while.

After chewing, Chu Yurui finally swallowed the pastry, and suddenly felt that Hua Hesu seemed to be looking at herself, in order to hide her embarrassment, Chu Yurui hurriedly lowered her head and put a mouthful of food in her mouth, and when she looked up again, Hua Hesu was watching the song and dance, as if she had just inadvertently glimpsed it, Chu Yurui breathed a sigh of relief, and always felt that the person was very dangerous.

After the dancers left, Hua He stood up to celebrate his birthday, and Chu Yurui knew that he had to come to celebrate his birthday one by one, and he came according to his rank, turned his head and looked at the hundred officials behind him, when did he have to wish for it......

Chu Yurui didn't listen to what Hua Hesu said at all, but whispered to Chu Yuzhen beside her, "Second sister, when will the palace banquet end?" ”

Chu Yuzhen didn't want to teach her what to do at the palace banquet, so she lowered her voice and said: "Shenshi, tomorrow is Shangyuan, and the river lantern will be released at night, what's wrong?" ”

Chu Yurui wanted to go back earlier, but after hearing this, she bit her chopsticks, "No...... It's nothing. I'm just thinking about the identity of the person who just celebrated his birthday, so arrogant. In the blink of an eye, the palace maid she had been looking forward to finally came, carrying the dregs.

Chu Yuzhen glanced at Hua Hesu, "Oh, that is His Majesty's youngest brother, ranked tenth, and his title is Zhong Yuan." There is nothing to do in the court, except for formal occasions, others are willing to call Uncle Ten Emperors. ”

The soup that Chu Yurui drank almost spit out, brother? So young? She thought it was a son, but she wanted to be in ancient times, and it was royal, and the age difference between the brothers was very large, so it shouldn't be strange.

I remembered the book I read a few days ago, and the matter of seizing the heir recorded in the book was not very easy at that time, Emperor Huaxiang did not have any brothers now, but the youngest stayed.

Thinking about it, there are only two possibilities, one is that he is too stupid, so stupid that the emperor doesn't bother to pay attention to him, and there is no threat; The second is that he is too smart, so smart that the emperor does not dare to touch him.

Obviously, the one in front of him does not belong to the former.

Chu Yurui swallowed the dross in her mouth and said with a smile: "He took advantage." ”

Chu Yuzhen was puzzled: "Why do you say this?" ”

"They all call him Uncle Ten Emperors, and there are so many nephews for nothing."

Looking up and seeing that Hua Hesu also celebrated his birthday, and then King Ping again, what Nanshan stone was sent, Hua Xiang Dile couldn't close his mouth, Chu Yurui secretly yawned, not all of them are family, what is the point of sending them around.

Then came the king he didn't know, "The ministers and their wives congratulate Your Majesty on your thousand years, and I hope that Your Majesty will live long live." ”

Emperor Hua Xiang on the dragon chair said with a smile: "Xiyi is far away in Dingzhou, but now he can rush back to celebrate my birthday, I really have a heart." ”

The man who was called Xiyi replied: "The minister is afraid, Your Majesty's birthday, and the minister, as a junior, should do his best." ”

Chu Yurui tilted his head and looked, in addition to the woman standing beside him, there was also a young child. The child cried out in a milky voice, "Grandpa Huang." ”

Emperor Huaxiang hurriedly beckoned to him: "Come, Yuan Xing, come to the emperor's grandfather, the pope's grandfather can see how tall he has grown in the past few years?" ”

The child walked on his legs, but the woman beside Hua Xiyi said sternly: "Yuan Xing, don't be rude." ”

Hua Yuanxing pouted and looked at Hua Xiyi.

Emperor Huaxiang pretended to be unhappy and said, "Princess, today is my birthday, don't manage Yuan Xing so strictly, if you are like this again, I will not be happy." ”

The princess hurriedly saluted and said: "The concubine doesn't dare, for fear that the child will be stubborn and annoy Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Hua Xiang beckoned to Hua Yuanxing and motioned for him to sit beside him.

The eunuch moved the soft chair, Emperor Hua Xiang waved his hand, directly taught Hua Yuanxing to sit on the dragon chair, and asked him what pastries he liked to eat.

After the birthday celebration of the members of the royal family is over, they are the envoys of the other three countries.

The first is the envoy of the Han Li Kingdom, Chu Yurui looked at the person's clothing, which is unique to the Han Li Kingdom, Han Li is located in the south, the climate is humid, there are many insect poisons, and the tradition of making poisons is not difficult in that country.

It was a heroic woman again, dressed in a red suit, with a scarf headdress, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The envoy of Tang Yuguo has come to congratulate Emperor Huaxiang on his thousand years. ”

Emperor Huaxiang said: "I heard that the women of Tang Yuguo did not let their eyebrows be shaved, and the doctor who stayed was even more disrespectful and not blasphemous." Let's see if that's the case. ”

Liuxing hugged his fists and said: "Emperor Huaxiang praises falsely." ”

Emperor Hua Xiang seemed to remember something, leaned forward, and asked, "Is the empress okay?" ”

"Thanks to Emperor Huaxiang's care, the widow's body has recovered very well."

Emperor Hua Xiang nodded, and Liuxing returned to his seat.

Chu Yuzhen, who was beside her, couldn't stop smiling when she saw Liuxing, Chu Yurui didn't understand what she was laughing at, "What is the second sister laughing at?" ”

Chu Yuzhen said: "You don't know, the female doctor just now belongs to Tang Yuguo." Since ancient times, men have been respected, but Tang Yu is not only the monarch of the country, but also all of them are respected by women, so they are called women. I only laugh, this country is black and white upside down, the daughter is fighting outside, and the man is left in the boudoir to embroider, it is really ridiculous, the country has reached the point of relying on the daughter. ”

Chu Yurui snorted, noncommittal, she thought that Chu Yuzhen was an interesting opponent, but she didn't expect her to accept this kind of rotten thinking.

Who said that a woman must stay in the boudoir, learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and finally marry a man she has never met, and then marry her husband and children, watch him take a concubine, and end her life alone and depressed?
