Hearing this order from Old Man Han, everyone couldn't stop being surprised in their hearts.

If it is said that the beating of Old Man Han before was to promote this eldest girl of the Feng family, then now that he ordered Han Ling and Mrs. Han to lead his children and grandchildren to meet Feng Zhige, it was undoubtedly deliberately so that everyone could see his determination.

Recognizing Feng Zhige was originally discussed by Feng Zhige and Old Man Han and Han Ling, and Mrs. Han also knew a lot about it, so when they heard Old Man Han's command, neither of them had any objections, Han Ling took a few steps forward with a happy face, and said to Feng Zhige first: "Sister, we will be a family in the future, if there is anything difficult, don't forget to tell me, who is my brother, and my brother will call the shots!" ”

The refreshment of Han Ling's table made everyone stunned.

Han Ling is now in his fifties, and in terms of age, he is almost the same as Feng Zhige's grandfather, in fact, Han Ling's eldest grandson is indeed no more than two years younger than Feng Zhige.

Everyone thought that even if there was an order from Old Man Han first, Han Ling would not accept a sister who could almost be his granddaughter lightly, but now it seems that Lord Han is still very happy?

In addition to Mrs. Han, the eldest young master of the Han family, Han Borang, the second young master Han Zhongjing, and the third young master Han Jiqi didn't know anything about Old Man Han's desire to recognize his daughter, and he was already shocked in his heart at this time.

With Han Ling taking the lead, even if the others still felt a little awkward in their hearts, they all hurriedly stepped forward a few steps in front of Old Man Han and Feng Zhige.

Old Man Han was already sitting on the Taishi chair at this time, and he specially asked people to move a chair and put it at the head to Feng Zhige, under the gaze of Old Man Han, in addition to the equal gifts of Han Ling and Mrs. Han and Feng Zhige, the three brothers of the Han family all forced themselves to suppress the weirdness in their hearts and performed the junior ceremony.

Han Borang and Han Zhongjing both have children. Han Borang's eldest son was already eleven years old, but he respectfully called Feng Zhige, who was not a few years older than him, "aunt", that is, Han Zhongjing's three-year-old little daughter made a big gift crookedly with the support of the maid.

The scene of recognizing relatives with a big age difference makes people want to laugh, but thinking that Feng Zhige can almost be regarded as a soaring identity from today, everyone can't laugh, and some people are envious and annoyed why their own daughter is favored by Old Man Han as a daughter.

In such a bustle, no one saw it. After the cold season summoned the low "aunt". Bitten lips reads();.

In the witness of the public, the fact that the old man Han recognized Feng Zhige as a woman became a foregone conclusion.

Just when Feng Zhige took out the pre-prepared meeting gifts for several juniors. But I heard a shrill singing voice suddenly from outside: "The prince's palace has arrived, and Princess Hanyue has arrived ......"

Many of the guests who were originally surprised that Feng Zhige was recognized as his daughter by Old Man Han got up in unison when they heard this, and saw the two columns of bright yellow honor guards slowly coming at the entrance of the garden, waiting to kneel at that place. But I heard a voice that was hearty but obviously lacking in qi and said: "You don't have to be polite, today is the birthday of Old Lady Han." The palace also came to congratulate me on the orders of my father, and I am generally a guest with all of you, but I can't spoil the atmosphere of this birthday banquet. ”

Then, a thin figure wearing a big red dragon robe appeared in everyone's sight.

The royal child is not ugly. The prince is naturally the same, in terms of appearance alone, the prince is also five points similar to the princess Hanyue like the summer sun. But the paleness of his face was a little discolored, so that people could see at a glance that his body must be weak.

Even. Because his body was too thin, the dragon robe on his body, which was supposed to show his majesty, looked a little loose, but it offset the noble aura he carried a little.

This person is Zhao Zaicun, the prince of the Dawu Dynasty.

Half a step behind the crown prince, stood Princess Hanyue, who was favored by the emperor today.

Even though they were still far away, Feng Zhige recognized at a glance that the prince was actually an old man—the man he had met last time on the shore of the lake who claimed to be committing suicide.

At that time, Feng Zhige felt that that person was quite noble, and it turned out that he had been cultivated in the palace for more than 20 years.

The Prince's Hall of the Dawu Dynasty......

Feng Zhige's lips smiled inexplicably, and then his eyes fell on Princess Hanyue beside the crown prince.

It's been a few months since I last saw Princess Hanyue at the Spring Banquet.

Compared with the publicity at the last spring banquet, Princess Hanyue wore a dignified lilac palace dress today, obviously the same face, but she looked much calmer and more mature than the spring banquet at that time.

But in Feng Zhige's eyes, Princess Hanyue's face was obviously a little haggard, especially when her eyes swept over the crown prince Zhao Zaicun, she was even more faintly worried, but Princess Hanyue covered it up well because she was not discovered by everyone.

Obviously, this princess, who is golden and noble, and is pampered by the current emperor, has not been doing as well as her identity recently.

Feng Zhige was naturally clear about the situation of the royal Zhao family, so she could probably understand why Princess Hanyue was so worried.

Speaking of which, Feng Zhige's impression of Princess Hanyue is not bad, just the last time she didn't have a tough way to keep Mu Xiaoxiao, she knew that this princess was not blindly arrogant and unreasonable.

Born into the royal family, she doesn't know if it's lucky or unfortunate for her.

Just when Feng Zhige was thinking, the crown prince Zhao Zaicun and Princess Hanyue all looked at Feng Zhige.

Although they have only entered this garden for a while, with their identity, it is natural that someone will tell them what happened in this garden before, so even if the two of them have been carefully educated by the royal family since childhood, they have already practiced the ability to not be surprised, and at this time, it is inevitable that there will be a little more shock in their eyes.

The old man Han, who is no longer in charge of things, actually announced at this birthday banquet that he would recognize the girl of the Feng family of the Yuanhou Mansion as his daughter, and he also looked like he wanted to treat the girl of the Feng family as his own daughter.

And before that, the Han family had never shown any wind.

With the status of the Han family in the Dawu Dynasty, the old man Han is the veritable helmsman of the Han family, he recognizes his daughter, how much should he be cautious, why is there no news in advance?

Don't. What is Old Man Han trying to hide?

The children who came out of the palace didn't have that simple-mindedness, and when they heard the news, the prince and Princess Hanyue inevitably thought about it more.

And when she saw Feng Zhige's appearance clearly, Princess Hanyue didn't have any other reaction, but the prince was slightly stunned.

Although it has been a long time since we last met, until now, Zhao Zaicun often thinks of the strange girl he met by the lake, and the way she looked when she smiled and waved to him and said, "It's okay to go, don't send it".

I thought. It's just that Pingshui met and had a one-sided relationship. But with their own identities, the two could only intersect briefly and then become passers-by, but they didn't expect it. This time, I was ordered by my father to come to celebrate the birthday of the old man Han, but I was able to unexpectedly reunite with her.

And she turned out to be the eldest girl of the Feng family, and she was also the daughter of Old Man Han who recognized him in public today.

All of a sudden. Zhao Zaicun was also a little embarrassed in his heart.

It was the old man Han who opened his mouth that made Zhao Zaicun withdraw his thoughts from his memories.

"Weichen has seen the Prince's Palace. Princess Hanyue. Although Old Man Han's tone was respectful, there was actually not much awe on his face, but Old Man Han was like this in his life, even in front of the emperor, so no one would blame him on this point.

Zhao Zaicun smiled when he heard this. The palms were stretched out and raised slightly, and there was a lot of respect between them, "The teacher doesn't have to be polite." When a teacher celebrates his birthday, it is a matter of course for students to come to congratulate him. What's more, the student still got the orders of his father on this trip, and the father also said that the teacher was a minister of the Dawu Dynasty, and hoped that the teacher could take care of his body and continue to serve the future of the Dawu Dynasty. ”

There is also a reason why Zhao Zaicun called Old Man Han a "teacher".

The title of Old Man Han originally had the title of Prince and Prince, and the Prince was indeed enlightened by Old Man Han at the beginning, so it is natural to say a word of kindness.

Counting the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that the only one who can ask the emperor to order the prince and Princess Hanyue to come to congratulate him in person on his birthday.

Others were envious of the honor and favor obtained by the Han family, but there was no change on the face of the old man Han, as if he did not take such a favor in his eyes, he still bowed and said: "The emperor raises love, and the old man does not dare to resign." ”

For Old Man Han's bow, the prince and Princess Hanyue both turned sideways and did not accept it, and in the eyes of the other courtiers in the garden, they also appreciated the prince a little more.

The Han family has made great efforts in the establishment of the Dawu Dynasty is obvious to all, even the emperor has great respect for the old man Han, plus the prince was still enlightened by the old man Han back then, if he received the gift of the old man Han, even if he is the prince, he is afraid that how much will be criticized.

Now it seems that although the prince's palace has not seen its intelligence exposed, and it has been very low-key over the years because it is not liked by the emperor, it seems that it is indeed very atmospheric now, and it acts in a royal style.

If the Prince's Palace is in good health, it can really take on the important task of inheriting the future of the Great Wu Dynasty.

It's just a pity......

The prince's physical condition has always been worrying.

The health of the prince's palace has always been a matter of great concern to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, after all, the emperor only has such a son.

It is precisely because there are too many people's attention that since the establishment of the prince, the imperial doctor who is usually responsible for diagnosing the prince's pulse can be said to be stared at by countless people, so that the prince's physical condition is naturally impossible to hide.

Even if the emperor himself, that is, the courtiers, were dissatisfied with the prince's physical condition, the Dawu Dynasty could not always be without a prince, even if this prince was a little flawed, they could only shake their heads and accept it.

Having said that, the emperor fought for more than ten years before fighting the Great Wu Dynasty, and he can be regarded as wise and wise in governing state affairs over the years, why is such a Ming monarch so difficult in terms of heirs?

If there are too many princes in the royal family, these courtiers can't say that they have to worry about the turmoil caused by the princes' brothers, but the royal family is such an heir as the crown prince, which really makes people want to shake their heads and sigh.

I have to say that everything in this world is always incomplete.

In the eyes of everyone who could not hide their regret, Old Man Han immediately ordered someone to invite the prince and Princess Hanyue into the seat.

With the prince and Princess Hanyue there, the guests in the garden were a little more restrained at the time of the reception, but the old man Han recognized his daughter, and it was when he was in a good mood, so he didn't care if the atmosphere was a little dignified, and even uncharacteristically exchanged a few words with a few familiar guests.

Everyone chatted for a while, and then it was an auspicious time, and it was time for everyone to pay their respects to the old man Han.

Every time there is such a birthday banquet in the family of the powerful in the king. The birthday gift is always the most interesting, although it is only to offer the gift prepared by yourself, but it can also make others compare whose birthday gift is more exquisite and whose gift is more rare in the process.

Even if there is politeness and affection, in such a powerful family, at least who is more attentive when preparing for the birthday gift, it can be seen at a glance.

Even. There are also women who are good at calculating in the back house. can rely on the gift to explain the general situation of other houses, but it also confirms the phrase "the champion of the line".

Because there are so many people who come to celebrate the birthday, if they all offer gifts one by one, I am afraid that everyone will have to wait until the evening to eat. Therefore, the Han family did not arrange for everyone to present gifts, and only let the children of the Han family give birthday gifts.

Of course, today the crown prince and Princess Hanyue came forward on behalf of the emperor and were the first to send congratulatory gifts to Old Man Han. Naturally, these two sons of heaven are the pride of the sky.

The crown prince stood up with Princess Hanyue and said to Old Man Han, "Teacher's birthday." My father specially ordered my brother and sister to send congratulatory gifts. ”

Speaking of this, the prince waved his hand behind him, and naturally two attendants stepped forward with some difficulty carrying a red lacquered wood.

The box was about half a meter square and was delicately carved with ornamentation. I don't know what's inside, but I can't help but ask the two attendants to lift it up.

Because the crown prince has already explained that this is a congratulatory gift from the emperor himself. Therefore, even though they knew that they could not see through the box to see what was inside, everyone was still curious and looked at the box.

Fortunately, the prince did not mean to hang people's appetites. Seeing that the two attendants carried the box to the platform where the old man Han was standing, they clapped their hands, and the two attendants gently opened the box when they saw this.

As the box slowly opened, the contents of the box jumped into everyone's sight little by littlereads();.

It was a straight pine tree carefully carved from a whole piece of jadeite, and the person who carved this piece of jade was obviously a master, and even those who did not know how to do it had a sense of life, especially the pine needles, which were as thick as a hair and extremely textured when you looked closely.

Because of the material, there are a few white spots in the middle of the jadeite, but it is ingeniously carved into a piece of snowflakes falling on the pine tree, which has the meaning that the pine snow is not bent, and the emerald white has a contrast, and the emerald color is more transparent and pleasant.

All of them are from the families of the powerful in Beijing, and even the most wealthy people in the Dawu Dynasty have gathered here, and these people are also used to seeing good things on weekdays, but seeing this birthday gift from the emperor himself, everyone still can't help but gasp.

Jadeite this thing because of its color has always been liked by women, but it is not uncommon, this is full of capital is a lot of old shops have the town store of jadeite objects, but the emperor gave this pine tree, but the whole piece of jadeite carved out, and look at the jadeite head, whether it is color or transparency is afraid that it has reached the extreme, plus the master carved it by hand, if the value is true, I am afraid it is immeasurable.

Of course, the people present are all people who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, even the female dependents are also from powerful families, of course, it is impossible to be blushing because of the value of this object.

What these male guests value is the meaning behind the emperor's birthday gift.

The pine and cypress are already known as evergreen trees, and the emperor ordered the prince to give this birthday gift in front of so many people, which is worth pondering.

Sure enough, then I heard the prince say with a smile: "Father also said that the teacher has paid for the Dawu Dynasty for decades, and now the Dawu Dynasty is on the right track, I hope the teacher can stand like this evergreen tree forever." ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes moved.

Over the years, the emperor has not emphasized the merits of the Han family, and because of this, he has been indulging in the Han family, even some of the children of the Han family are really ridiculous, and they have all been suppressed by the emperor.

Later, some people gradually secretly spread that the emperor was killing the Han family, just waiting for the Han family to be left without a royal law before taking action to remove the Han family, so that even if the Han family really made that immortal achievement, the heavens and people could not say anything wrong.

Of course, this statement is only secretly circulated among a few people, but there are really many people who believe in this statement, after all, it has always been the word "meritorious master", these years the old man of the Han family is in charge of the ministry, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet, the eldest master of the Han family is in charge of the military department, and the second master of the Han family is also a feudal official, plus the Han family has many clansmen who have great prestige in the army, and it is not unusual for such a Han family to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

Because of this statement, there are also people who are not in harmony with the Han family, just waiting to see with their own eyes how the Han family was beaten into the dust by the current emperor.

But now it seems that since the emperor asked the prince to give this jade pine tree on this occasion, the prince personally said that the old man Han is an evergreen tree of the Dawu Dynasty.

Could it be that the emperor has no suspicion of the Han family?

In everyone's speculation about the emperor's thoughts, the old man Han smiled heartily, and while ordering someone to collect this imperial gift, he said: "It's the emperor who praised it, Weichen is just an old man who is about to die, I'm afraid that he will be buried in another three or two years, how can he ever be worthy of the words 'evergreen'." ”

The prince sat down again after giving the birthday gift, but he smiled silently, but his expression was still respectful and polite.

Then the Han clan gave a birthday gift to the old man Han, and the eldest lord of the Han family, Han Ling and Mrs. Han gave a pair of Danqing made by the two of them. (To be continued.) )
