Chapter 163: Birth
Zhu Biao sighed, this is really facing his darkest thoughts, even if it is his own son, Zhu Biao is very resistant now.
may also have something to do with his age, after all, he has never reached the stage of having children in his two lives, Zhu Biao stood up and left to go back to sleep.
The next morning, Zhu Biao got up to dress and eat, and after a while, Liu Jin came back, and after serving Zhu Biao perfectly, Liu Jin brought warm water to rinse his mouth and said: "The slave maid went to the harem early in the morning to send gifts, and the saint was also there, and the second prince was very happy after receiving the gift from His Royal Highness, and said that he would have a few drinks with you tonight, and the saint didn't say anything, but the slave and maid were also very satisfied." ”
Zhu Biao nodded, what he didn't need to do was so surprising, as long as it was smooth and steady, it was also in line with the rules.
The princes' birthdays are not a big deal, even if it is Zhu Biao's birthday, it has never been a big deal, not to mention the rest, at this time, only Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday will be held.
The princes who celebrate their birthdays generally have a meal with their biological mother in the morning, a meal at Kunning Palace at noon, and a few meals at the evening for the little brother.
Zhu Biao doesn't have to take care of the affairs of the imperial examination, Li Shanchang didn't show up, so these scholars can only go to meet Song Lian, the chief examiner, and it will be no different from worshipping Zhu Biao.
The rest of the things were also arranged, and Zhu Biao had nothing to do before the wedding, so he had no choice but to continue to study the map he had drawn.
At noon, Liu Jin came over to remind Zhu Biao that it was time to go to Kunning Palace, and the queen was the real mother of the princes, so she wanted to celebrate the princes' birthday.
Zhu Biao set off for Kunning Palace, and when he arrived, the hall was already full of people, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not present, it seemed that he should be discussing the matter of spreading the land into the mu.
When Zhu Biao stepped into the main hall, everyone except Queen Ma got up and saluted, and the movements were not big, after all, this was a family banquet, Zhu Biao nodded with a smile on his face, asked them to sit down, and walked to the position and sat down.
After Zhu Biao sat down, he found that there were more and more people attending the family banquet, and before he knew it, the Zhu family was already very big, Zhu Biao now has eight younger brothers and seven younger sisters, the youngest two were born this year, and they are still in the swaddling clothes of their mother.
Queen Ma is actually quite happy to see so many people, it's rare to be lively, she doesn't care that her husband has so many women, after all, it is a normal thing in this era.
Before the meal, Queen Ma congratulated Zhu Fan with a smile, celebrating that he was a year older, and after Zhu Fan stood up and thanked him, the rest of the concubines and older brothers and sisters also offered their blessings.
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's harem is still very peaceful, the concubines have long accepted their fate, the position of the queen and the crown prince is not something they can shake, once they move their minds that should not be moved, not only will they die, but even their son's relatives will be implicated.
After an hour, everyone dispersed, Zhu Biao stayed in Kunning Palace to drink tea with his mother for a while, during which Queen Ma was a little unhappy, and Zhu Biao asked to know that it was because of the newborn Zhu Qi, that is, the ninth son of Lao Zhu.
He has been congenitally deficient since birth, and now he has been raised so delicately that he has been suffering from minor illnesses, and the child who is only a few months old can't even drink the decoction, so he can only let the nurse drink the medicine and then feed him.
Zhu Biao also took a look just now, the child does have the momentum of not being able to support him, but there is no way, such a young child is difficult to deal with even in the next generation, let alone this era.
Zhu Biao looked at her mother, she was really worried about that child, even if it was not her own, but she seemed to be born with the bearing of a mother, empathy for other people's circumstances, and always so kind.
It is estimated that it is because of such characteristics that Zhu Yuanzhang, a hard-hearted tough guy, loves him for a lifetime, and many people may not be able to do this themselves, but it does not prevent him from liking such a person.
After a while, Queen Ma was going to take Zhu Lu's classmates to take a nap, Zhu Biao said goodbye and left, on the way back, he inexplicably wanted to see Chang Luohua, but unfortunately now the Ministry of Rites is staring closely, and it is not in accordance with the rules for the two to meet.
When it was time for dinner, Zhu Biao changed into civilian clothes, set off to the Retranslation Building, met the three brothers of the Zhu family at the gate of the palace, and then got into the carriage together.
The retranslation building has been taken down, and there are dozens of people standing downstairs, all of whom are young men in brocade clothes, and the people passing by are far away from them, for fear of colliding with these noble children.
Standing at the front is Chang Mao, who made him become the wife of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon, although Chang Yuchun took the initiative to give up a lot of power, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that once there is a need for a general, Zhu Yuanzhang will inevitably want him to be in charge.
Xu Yungong's face on Chang Mao's side was as usual, he knew his ability and understood Chang Mao's ability, although he was being pressed now, but so what, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not allow his relatives to be too powerful, and he Xu Yungong would inevitably become His Royal Highness's real minister of humerus in the future.
Li Qi and Tang Ding stood calmly aside, and the rest of the Xungui children were all discussing with great interest, they were also teenagers in their teens and twenties, and they had been trapped in the capital for too long, and they had already enjoyed enough of eating, drinking, and having fun.
Now I heard the news from the princes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to take them to Shanxi, which made them drink happily for several days, young man, they all wanted to prove themselves.
The dozens of people who came tonight are all the sons of the marquis and above, and the rest are not qualified to participate in the prince's banquet, and they are all looking forward to the news at home.
Xu Yungong asked Chang Mao, "Have you arranged it over there in the kitchen?" ”
Chang Mao nodded: "Don't worry, all the processes are watched by my father's pro-army, and the dishes are all for two servings, and someone will randomly try one after it is baked to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Xu Yungong was relieved a lot, although Chang Mao was mainly responsible, but if something happened to His Royal Highness the Prince, none of them would be able to escape.
After waiting for a while, I saw three carriages driving over, and the first two jumped down more than ten people, signaled to them, and then scattered into Chongze Building, Xu Yungong and the others naturally knew the identities of these people.
When the last carriage stopped steadily, Liu Jin first jumped down and set up a stepping stool, and then Zhu Biao walked down in an ink-colored robe, and Zhu Fan and others behind him also came down in turn.
Chang Mao Xu Yungong led a group of people to salute Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao smiled and asked them to get up, and there were many people passing by outside.
Zhu Biao was surrounded by the stars and the moon into Chongze Building, Zhu Fan was a little unhappy at this time, it was obviously his birthday, but the protagonist was the eldest brother, and it was the step he personally built.
But there is no way, if the eldest brother does not come, it would be good if a few of these noble children can come to hold him, and they will have to serve them in the family law when they go back.
