Chapter 201: A Heart-Warming Family Banquet
There are still a lot of heirs today, but unfortunately not many have survived, counting the newly baked Xuanyuan Li, it is only two and a half. That half is King Ping. Although the heirs of the Xuanyuan family are not difficult, they are not prosperous. Therefore, every year at the family banquet, in addition to the royal family, some ministers and nobles will also be given to participate. It's so crowded.
But this year, the emperor spoke, and the family banquet was a family banquet, and only people from the Xuanyuan family could attend.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
The emperor's position is in the center, three steps higher than others. On the left and right are Xu Guifei and Qian Fei. The other dozen or so concubines who were fortunate enough to attend the family banquet played the role of stars after the two concubines.
The emperor naturally arranged his children and grandchildren. Because there are not many people this year, the emperor spoke, regardless of men, women, young and old, one family and one place. When the inner house was ranked, I also had a headache. It is said that the order of age is to go down, but several princes are gone, so this arrangement is inappropriate.
There are only two emperors and grandsons in the Great Prince's Mansion, so let the emperor ask the emperor and grandson about their homework? The emperor and grandson are not happy either. Duanwang's side is okay, ranking first on Xu Guifei's side, no one has anything to say. What about King Ping? King Ping will definitely not come, Princess Ping has already sent someone to say that she will not attend herself, but several royal grandsons of King Ping's Mansion are coming, as well as the royal granddaughter. Another table of kids. Further down are the children left by the six princes, with the six princesses here, they are quite good-looking. And then there is King Ning's family, who are talented. Don't be too lonely.
The father-in-law of the inner house grabbed his scalp and consulted with the chief manager several times before it was decided, and the ranking was arranged according to the seniority of the men in charge of the family. What the? The princess? Princess? Hehe, marry and obey the husband, and the husband dies from the son, of course, with the emperor and grandson. And the two princesses who lost their husbands are very talkative.
In this way, the seat was arranged, and the first thing Xu Guifei came down was Duanwang's Mansion, and behind it was the eldest prince's family. The first place for Concubine Qian is Pingwangfu, and King Ping is still there, who dares to underestimate it, not afraid that Concubine Qian will smash you with silver? Behind is the Xuanyuan family of three, and then behind is the family of the six princes.
In this way, more than a dozen small tables are arranged, and there are not many people who are sincere, even if it is a small table for one person, the scene is not enough to watch.
The emperor sighed and comforted himself, this is not bad. I think that during the Shuanglong Rebellion, the two almost tossed the royal family to death, leaving only a few seedlings to continue the fireworks, and the clan that had no time to run was also harmed. I don't have many heirs, but there are still a lot of clans.
The clan is under the head of several princes, but it is thriving.
Xu Guifei sat on the seat, and her eyes swept around. The emperor just came in, and everyone sat down after paying homage, waiting for the emperor's year-end summary speech. But-
Many people's eyes swept over the empty two tables, one large and one small. It is the location of King Ning's family.
The Emperor sat and did not speak.
Xu Guifei glanced at Concubine Qian, who was sitting precariously, and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so she had no choice but to open her mouth.
"Your Majesty, King Ning's family... Why don't the concubines send someone to take a look? β
The emperor has a straight face, does that kid really want to step on a little bit to appear?
"Not necessarily. Don't bother. β
"King Ning has arrivedβ"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, King Ning came in with his wife and children.
Xuanyuan came with sincerity, and as for Yang Nianci, she didn't want to come at all!
In the past three days, Xuanyuan has not let her go for a day, saying that he will help her pretend to be sick, and there will be no trouble if she leaves the table early. Yang Nianci also felt good, this man had been holding back for so long, he should be released. When the time comes, no one will be embarrassed to appear with a weak appearance with dark circles under his eyes.
But Yang Nianci didn't expect that there was "weakness", and she couldn't stand up straight, but! But! But but! This body is really speechless, it was obviously tossed and scattered, but the complexion was so good. In the mirror, his skin is white and his lips are red, his eyes are flowing, and the best rouge is a defiled existence. The skin water should be pinched and a stream of water. This appearance is said to be weak and sickly, hehe, when the world is blind.
Yang Nianci was so worried, she couldn't wait to jump down from the upstairs and break her leg.
Xuanyuan was complacent: "Look at how beautiful I moistened you." What does this mean? Xi'er, you and I are a perfect match, follow me steadily in your life. Lord told you to be like a spring flower every day. β
You pervert!
Yang Nianci rolled his eyes and frowned: "You said that my body is weak, and when I appear in front of people like this, isn't it a slap in the mouth?" β
Xuanyuan sneered: "You think about it again." I love my daughter-in-law, I can say whatever I like, what, I still want to confront my father? β
Yang Nianci said: "Yes, yes, you are a prince, you are not afraid." However, the emperor has to take care of it, you are a bully! β
Xuanyuan didn't care and said: "What is bullying, he knows what's going on, I never lied to him." I say this, just for fear that the group of well-fed concubines in the harem will make trouble for you. Let the old man have a score in his heart, look at his woman, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face. β
Yang Nianci opened his mouth wide in shock, it turned out that his husband was a bear child, but that was His Majesty the Emperor, people eat this?
Alas, anyway, the emperor who wanted to hide it the most already knew the truth, and Yang Nianci didn't have the heart to hide it. I just felt that I couldn't go out with a rippling spring appearance, so I poured a thick layer of powder on the mirror, and finally suppressed a little bit of bright color.
Xuanyuan frowned, regardless of her objections and struggles, wiped her face clean with a wet handkerchief, and did not leave a trace of gouache.
Yang Nianci thought angrily, yes, anyway, my man likes it, what else do I pretend? The ugly daughter-in-law sees her in-laws sooner or later, and she has seen her before, what are you afraid of? On it, on it!
Yang Nianci pulled Xuanyuan Kang and said pitifully: "Son, remember, if my mother is ugly, quickly jump out and sell cuteness to remedy it." β
Xuanyuan Kang straightened his small chest: "Don't worry, mother, everything has me." β
Xuanyuan glared at him, with you, what else is Lao Tzu doing?
The nurse once again sighed in her heart that this family was out of tune, and she was even more worried when she looked at the sky, and if she didn't go out at this point, the emperor wouldn't reprimand her, right?
In the end, it was the four big maids who followed into the palace, the nurse and Mother Wei were at home, and the other little maids drooled envy and watched the car go away.
When Mother Wei turned around and saw a little maid wiping the corners of her mouth, she couldn't help but smile: "What, you want to go too?" β
"Yes, Mother Wei, that's the palace, who doesn't want to go. Hey, have you been? β
Mother Wei smiled: "How could I have been there?" What about you, nurse, have you been? β
The nurse also shook her head: "Me didn't either." Want to go, right? Then take care of the errand. In the future, the princess will inevitably go to the palace, and she will bring you with me. β
A few little maids suddenly had a glorious goal in life and jumped up happily.
The nurse and Mother Wei looked at each other and smiled, the identity of the princess is not what it used to be, and it is necessary to cultivate some trustworthy people.
was led by his father-in-law to the palace where the family banquet was held, as soon as he entered the door, Yang Nianci wanted to faint, Xuanyuan dared to be late! Bullying yourself for not understanding anything!
Yang Nianci regretted it, he knew that he really wanted a palace grandmother with his father, but he didn't know all these common sense in the palace, shame, shame!
The three of them stepped forward to greet them.
The emperor snorted coldly: "What? Coming to eat? β
Yang Nianci lowered his head, eager to get into the cracks in the ground.
Xuanyuan smiled calmly: "Father Xie doesn't dislike it." β
"How do you know I'm not disgusted?"
Xuanyuan... Want to quarrel?
"Why don't you take Erchen to Erchen's house to celebrate the New Year? Your daughter-in-law's cooking skills are okay. β
Yang Nianci shouted in his heart, still make me dizzy!
Everyone thought to themselves, it's really thick-skinned, take the emperor to your house, hehe, what are we doing with such a big group of people sitting here?
"Get out of your seat!"
"Thank you, Father."
Xuanyuan took his daughter-in-law and son to get up and go down.
"Wait, Kang'er?"
Xuanyuan Kang raised his head, blinked, and shouted uncertainly: "Grandpa Emperor?" β
The emperor smiled: "Last time you hunted in autumn, you still pestered me to hunt. Do you remember it now? β
For a moment, the eyes of the palace were on the little child.
Xuanyuan Kang shook his head honestly: "I can't remember." β
Uh, I can't remember exactly.
The emperor was a little disappointed, but the child, who was just over a year old at the time, said that it was only when he remembered that it was a shame.
"Then I'll have to remember it now." The emperor was quite kind to his long-coveted grandson.
Xuanyuan Kang smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Kang'er remembers, Grandpa Emperor." β
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, a children's voice came, "You kid is so unruly, you have to be called "Imperial Grandfather". β
The family turned their heads to look at a boy on the table next to him, looking seven or eight years old.
Xuanyuan looked at the location, it should be the kid in the eldest prince's family. A woman with two children sitting upright. The eldest is about ten years old, and the one who speaks is the youngest.
Xuanyuan said in his heart, you have rules, you know that this is your uncle's cousin, and you still call him a child? Xiong Haizi is to educate!
At that moment, he pulled down his face and roared: "Whose grandson are you?" β
The little emperor was stunned by the yelling, his son was gone, he and his brother were at home, the mother and concubine were very fond of herself, and the emperor's grandfather in the palace also liked to be able to read. The people below are even flattering themselves, and no one has ever been fierce to him. When a child is yelled at for the first time in his life, he will inevitably lose his mind and panic.
The emperor looked angry from above, are you an adult and a child?
"He's my grandson!"
Xuanyuan... Well, there are questions to ask yourself.
He roared again: "Which son are you the grandson born to?" β
All... Sure enough, he was born in a reckless manner!
Yang Nianci wanted to cry, so he had the courage to sneak up and take a look, the emperor's face was dark, and then he looked at the little child, the tears in his eyes were rolling, and he didn't fall down at the hideous Xuanyuan, he had the guts!
Yang Nianci hurriedly ran over in a few steps, smiled at the woman who was suspected of being a concubine next to the child, and touched the child's head.
"Well, don't be afraid, you're the most well-behaved."
Yang Nianci slandered, you are a big man bullying children.
If the little emperor and grandson were in normal times, he would definitely open Yang Nianci's hand. But he was so frightened by Xuanyuan that the six gods had no master, Yang Nianci's palms were soft and warm, and he was very relieved to be touched. The little emperor didn't move.
"Well, I'm... Aunt... bar..."
It should be, right?
The little emperor glanced at his mother, saw her nodded, and held her mouth and shouted, "Auntie... uh..."
Yang Nianci saw him open his mouth, took out a piece of pine nut candy with his other hand and stuffed it in. Uh, my son likes to eat, and this kid likes it too, right?
The child was stunned, his mouth was sweet, and there was the fragrance of pine nuts, and he couldn't cry if he wanted to cry now.
The eldest princess next to her, Princess Cheng's face was not very good-looking, what was it, so she stuffed it for her own children to eat. wanted to make his son vomit, but he was afraid of falling on Yang Nianci's face, who in Beijing didn't know that King Ning had spoiled Princess Ning to the edge of the sky. My own prince has been gone for so many years, and it is better to be cautious as a widow with a child.
Princess Cheng sighed in her heart, looking at her son agitating his cheeks, he looked very happy, just make friends, don't make enemies.
"Brother and sister don't need to worry, this kid is just naughty. Go and sit down. β
Yang Nianci smiled and looked at Princess Cheng, the proper son was in trouble, and the parents compensated. It's just that his son hasn't had time to get into trouble yet, and his son has taken the lead first.
"Well, sister-in-law? Hehe, my brother and sister haven't seen you before, I'm really sorry. From now on, we'll be moving around a lot. Then he said to the little emperor: "Good, your uncle has a bad temper, don't worry about him." β
β¦ What does this make Princess Cheng do? Even the little emperor and grandson were shocked and didn't move.
Everyone heard the two of them "talking about homely", and looked at Yang Nianci who walked back to Xuanyuan quite strangely. It's really not like a family doesn't enter the door, Princess Ning is also a... Thick-skinned...
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Xuanyuan, doesn't such a daughter-in-law feel that the price is cheap?
Xuanyuan immediately held Yang Nianci's hand and confessed affectionately: "Daughter-in-law, you are so virtuous, a good wife and mother." β
All... What a shame!
However, Xuanyuan Kang still joined in the fun, stood on tiptoe and put his little paws on his parents' big hands, and nodded heavily: "Good wife and good mother!" β
All... Little shameless!
Yang Nianci really didn't want to be embarrassed, he was angry at Xuanyuan, and said in a low voice: "You give me a little stop." Don't think I'm brainless, this must have ruined my reputation again. Go home and wait for me. β
Xuanyuan hehehe, hey, he's not stupid.
Xuanyuan Kang was not raw enough, so he said what he thought in his heart: "My mother is really self-aware." β
Yang Nianci wants to be dizzy, angry, not outside, he must strip this bastard clean and spank!
When the emperor heard these words clearly, Long Xin was overjoyed, and felt that this grandson was like himself, a good one, and he had to focus on cultivating it.
"Sit down for me."
This time, no one else interrupted, and the three of them hurriedly sat down.
Concubine Xu Guifei above was a little lost, and she still wanted to say a few words to Princess Ning.
Of course, the two families are now tacitly opposed, and there must be nothing good to say.
Concubine Qian looked at Xu Guifei opposite and snorted coldly, wanting to take advantage of Princess Ning, let's take a look at the emperor's indulgence of King Ning first.
The emperor looked at his own bloodline, sighed in his heart, took everyone to drink a glass of wine first, signaled the banquet to begin, and then spoke slowly, reviewing the picture of his son in the past.
ββ¦ Who knew that it would be like this now. The emperor sighed one last time, and the people sitting below were silent.
Is it a good thing that there are only a few sons left? Shut up.
"Fortunately," the emperor suddenly raised his voice, unable to hide his excitement: "God has mercy on me and my loneliness, and he even sent me an imperial grandson, what a great luck!" β
Everyone was shocked, how did this topic come about? Everyone couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Kang, who was sitting between Xuanyuan and Yang Nianci, this is to launch a new emperor and grandson? Didn't you just see it?
"Let them in."
The emperor motioned to the chief steward, and the chief steward personally went to the back to pick up the people.
Then, two figures, one large and one small, slowly walked in, and as the distance got closer, closer and closer...
"Bang-"
I don't know whose chopsticks fell. (To be continued.) )
