Chapter 190: Royal Family Banquet (4 More Subscriptions)
"Father, why do you value your sons so much now?"
Ximen Hao asked the doubts in his heart.
Ximen Potian took a sip of tea and said lightly:
"Our royal family, since ancient times, the crown prince has been inherited by the eldest son, unless the eldest son is incompetent, or other princes are talented! ”
"You were terminally ill back then, and I had to give the crown prince to Erlang. However, although Erlang has some talents, his character is not suitable for being an emperor. ”
"And you are so impressive now, so I hope you can win the Heavenly Capital Order! ”
Ximen Hao didn't expect that Ximen Potian didn't beat around the bush at all, and directly said what he thought in his heart.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, indicating that the other party still regarded him as a son.
"Father, rest assured, the son will not let you down. Ximen Hao said firmly.
"Hehe, don't talk too much, if you fail, I'll make you king!
"Erchen understands that if he is crowned king, Erchen will go to a certain county to be a prince, and he will never have a chance to be on the throne again!
"Hahaha! Okay, the imperial dining room is almost ready, let's go over together, our family hasn't eaten together for more than a long time. ”
Simon Potian slowly got up, his expression darkened.
It was in this short moment that Ximen Hao also caught a trace of exhaustion on the other party's face. I don't know why, I feel a little sorry for each other in my heart.
In other words, since he crossed by himself, this emperor Lao Tzu has also helped, especially after he emerged, the other party's help was more obvious.
Of course, if it weren't for the talent he showed, it is estimated that the other party would not look at him more.
This is the emperor's family!
"Alas~ Although we are not real father and son, Hao Ye also treats you as a relative......!
"Get Started......!"
......
Ximen Potian is more frugal, he doesn't like extravagance and waste, and if he has the wasted food, it is better to transport it to the front line to the soldiers.
Therefore, the emperor's family banquet is only a dozen dishes.
Imperial Dieter, Imperial Dining Palace.
Usually, only the emperor eats here, and it is rare for concubines and even queens to dine with His Majesty.
And today, in order to catch the wind for the eldest prince, the emperor specially invited all his favorite concubines, as well as the prince and princess, to dinner.
At this time, a large table was set up in the Imperial Dining Hall, and the table was full of wine and food, and the table was also full of people.
Among them, Ximen Potian sits at the head, the queen on the right, and the favorite Ruoyun Niangniang on the left, who is also the mother of the fourth prince, Ximen Wen.
Next to it is Concubine Hua Niangniang, the eldest princess Ximen Shuang, Concubine Ling, and the little princess Ximen Yun.
And the third prince Ximen Wu, and the mother of the eldest prince Ximen Hao have long been out of rank.
Therefore, together, these two princes have the least power in the palace.
Princess Ximen Shuang of Pingyang is also the first child of Ximen Potian, three or four years older than Ximen Hao.
Princess Ximen Yun of Anyang, who is twelve years old this year, is also the youngest child of Ximen Potian.
Ximen Hao, Ximen Guang, and thirteen or fourteen-year-old Ximen Wen sat down with the two princesses, and here, Ximen Wu was missing.
Simon attacked four sons, two daughters, and six children, and these six children came from six different women.
Of course, as an emperor, it is impossible to have only six favored concubines, but as the cultivation becomes higher and higher, the planting rate of the dragon species is much lower.
In addition, the emperor has every opportunity and has to cultivate, so those concubines can only burn incense and worship God every day, praying to conceive the dragon seed.
The palace maids and eunuchs of the Imperial Dining Hall were busy all the time, serving the nobles of the palace to eat.
"Today, my six sons and daughters are five, and Saburo will not be able to return soon. It's been years since we've eaten together, right?"
Ximen Potian is no longer an emperor at this time, but a parent, and his tone is no longer as majestic as that of the Qingyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the last time we had a meal together was three years ago. ”
The queen whispered.
"Three years~ alas! I haven't had dinner with my family for three years, so it's better for the people in the city to enjoy a family. ”
Simon Potian sighed.
Ximen Hao slandered in his heart: Then you go to be a common man, give me the throne.
"Hehe~ Your Majesty, you have every opportunity, and you have to cultivate, everything you do is for the people of Qingguo, and the concubines have no complaints. ”
Concubine Hua, Ximen Potian's first wife, and the mother of the eldest princess Ximen Shuang.
The mother's family has been in business for many years, and the family has a big business, when Ximen Potian was not the prince, he became the princess, and used the family's financial resources to help Ximen Potian.
It's a pity that she gave birth to a daughter and missed the queen's position.
Concubine Hua was already nearly forty years old, and it can be said that she had not been blessed by His Majesty for many years.
However, since she got a fixed face pill, not only does she not look old, but she is no less than ten years younger, which makes her very excited.
Ximen Potian even looked at the rejuvenated wife, and spoiled her for a few days, which is why Concubine Hua secretly agreed to lend Ximen Haoyuan stone and pills.
Ximen Hao peeked at Concubine Hua, not to mention, as soon as she ate Dingyan Dan, she was really a big beauty, and her appearance was not weaker than the eldest princess Ximen Shuang next to her.
"Hahaha! Yue'er is not only more beautiful now, but her mouth is also much sweeter. ”
Ximen Potian shouted Concubine Hua's name and laughed heartily.
He was happy, and the few next to him were not happy.
Especially the queen, since she came out of the cold palace, Her Majesty has not slept in the East Palace once, which makes her a little jealous of the concubine Hua who suddenly became younger!
"Hehe~ Thank you for your majesty's compliment. ”
Concubine Hua covered her mouth and smiled, and at the same time casually glanced at Ximen Hao and gave a look.
Of course, that look is not to seduce the other person, but a kind look.
Washington is in business, even if Hua Yue'er is the imperial concubine, no one in the clan is an official in the court.
Therefore, the people of the Hua family are all interest-oriented!
Ximenhao, on the other hand, is what they think is a potential stock.
Just when Ximen Hao made eye contact with Concubine Hua, Ximen Guang suddenly kicked Ximen Wen next to him with his foot.
Ximen Wen understood, glanced at Ruoyun Niangniang and Ximen Potian, and said to Ximen Hao:
"Big brother, you just returned to the palace, running all the way, and the fourth brother toasts you. ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass.
"Heh, when did Shiro become so sensible? Ruoyun, did you teach?" Ximen Potian said with a smile.
Ruoyun Niangniang frowned, and then smiled silently, but in her heart she was a little unhappy that she was the son of the first bird.
Although the other party is young and ignorant, here, between the princes, it is not his turn to speak.
"Hahaha! The fourth brother is younger but more sensible than some people, okay, the eldest brother respects the fourth brother with a cup. ”
Ximen Hao had already seen Ximen Guang's small movements, so he took the opportunity to hit the other party.
Sure enough, Ximen Guang's face darkened.
