said goodbye to Concubine Guo Ning, and Yun Xi met with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's other high-ranking concubines who were still alive. However, the two of them who had never given birth to children were all buried, and there were not many who were still alive, and Yun Xi took half a day to visit them all.

Concubine Li was another focus of the visit. Most of the nobles knew about Concubine Li's help to him before Yun Xi was crowned the emperor's grandson, although no one would ever say this in public, and Concubine Li had always been very peaceful, but because of this, Yun Xi had to treat her a little preferentially.

Until noon, Yun Xi rejected Yun Zhi's request to stay at her and her mother's palace for dinner, and got up and left the palace.

Isn't this a joke, Yun Zhi's mother is only in her early thirties, and I, an emperor in her twenties, have dinner in her palace, and after an hour, the rumors will be known to most people in the palace, and tomorrow the rumors will be all over the capital, even if Yun Zhi is with her. Yoon-hee thought to herself.

In the afternoon, Yunxi played with his children, who were still very young. Eight children, including the youngest Wen Kun, were all called by him to the Qianqing Palace to play together.

Wen Kun, Wen Yin and Wen Kun are still very young, lying on the ground and making a sound of "ahhhhh Wen Yao, Wen Yuan, and Wen Qi, three slightly older children, are playing with the very delicate building blocks that Yun Xi 'invented', and it seems that they are competing to see who can get the best size. Its Chinese Yuan and Wen Qi seem to want to code something similar to the shape of Kunning Palace, while Wen Yao wants to code a small city with a city wall.

Min'er pulled Wen Lin and was fiddling with the little girl's things, Wen Lin "babbled" and said something with a smile, Yun Xi didn't know if Min'er really understood what Wen Lin meant, but Wen Lin had been very happy, probably Min'er understood what she wanted to say.

Yun Xi looked at his children with a faint smile on his face. No matter what happens in the future, they are all very cute children now, and he doesn't have the hard work of ordinary families taking care of children, so he looks at them with great pleasure.

I don't know how long later, Xi Yao walked into this room and looked at the children who were playing, and a faint smile appeared on her face. Yunxi asked her to sit beside her, hugging her slender waist, feeling the faint warmth of the family getting together.

But this kind of time is always short-lived, and after a while, Wang Xi came over and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, it's almost the middle of the unitary hour, and the clan banquet is about to begin." ”

Yun Xi let go of the arm that was holding Xi Yao's waist and said to her, "The clan banquet is about to start, let's go over." ”

"Yes, husband." Xi Yao paused, and then said, "What about how many of them?" She pointed to the little ones in front of her.

"Wen Kun, Wen Yin, Wen Kun and Wen Lin are still young, so they stay here to play, and let the female officials who take care of them continue to take care of them here; Wen Yao, Wen Yuan, Wen Qi and Min Er are already not small, and Wen Yao, Min Er and Wen Yuan have participated in the clan banquet since the second year of Jianye, and they are still brought over this time. Yun Xi said.

"But in previous years, the feast was not long, and they persevered; This year's banquet time will be longer, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient. Xi Yao said.

"They're not too small, and they should be able to hold on a little longer, until the feast is over. And this year's feast is much more interesting than usual, isn't it, maybe they'll be attracted and last longer. Yun Xi said.

Xi Yao couldn't say anything else against it, so she could only get up and take the four children to the clan banquet together. Her purpose was actually to let only one prince of Wenyuan participate, in order to show his special status; Xi Yao didn't want others to realize that her eldest son Wen Yuan was the crown prince and had a different status.

Yun Xi actually understands Xi Yao's thoughts, but he doesn't have anything to do about it, and in addition to this, Xi Yao is a very qualified queen candidate, not only keeps the palace in order, treats other concubines very fairly and justly, but also never pretends to be incompetent in his mother's family, and has won the unanimous praise of the internal and external women with these excellent performances, and Yun Xi can only go with her.

……

……

As soon as Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, walked into the main hall where this year's banquet was held, he felt that something was wrong: this year's hall was much larger than the palace where the banquet was held in previous years.

Zhu Chun stopped one person and asked, "Sixth brother, what's going on?" Could it be that this year, His Majesty wants to let the troupe perform opera on stage? ”

Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, who was stopped by him, said: "Eleventh brother, I don't know, although I heard some rumors before that His Majesty was going to change this year's clan banquet, I don't know how it will change. ”

As he spoke, he also grabbed the person who was passing by him and said, "Maybe Yun Xi knows what's going on." ”

"Huh?" Yongwang Yunxi was looking at the platform in the south, and he didn't pay attention to what they just said, so he was caught without the slightest vigilance, and hurriedly asked, "Sixth Uncle, what are you holding my belt for?" ”

Zhu Zhen repeated the question again, and Yun Xi said, "I don't know either." I don't live in the palace now, so I don't know what the royal brother is doing. ”

"But the royal brother still likes opera, and this stage is similar to the opera stage, so it is estimated that a few newly written operas have been arranged."

"The newly written opera," Zhu Youstew interjected, "I don't know which opera master from the Department of Culture and Propaganda wrote it, and what the story is." ”

"There is a stewed brother, you like opera so much, you just joined the Department of Culture and Propaganda, and you just gave full play to your strengths." Zhu Jiye joked with a smile. Zhu Youstew likes opera, and everyone in the clan is well-known.

He didn't expect that there was a stew and he really nodded and said, "I should really go to the Propaganda Division to have a look." ”

"No, there is a stewed brother!" Ji Ye said loudly. There is stew, but the prince of Zhou, the future prince, really wants to go to the Wenxuan Division because of his words, even if Zhu Hu's temperament is gentle, he can't spare him.

Youstew stopped paying attention to him, turned around alone and sat down at a table, as if thinking seriously. Ji Ye hurriedly chased after him, sitting beside him and talking about something.

Zhu Zhen and the others laughed for a while, and Yun Xi said: "I always feel that it may be a performance, but it may not be an opera." The royal brother has always done things unexpectedly, and it is not so easy to guess. ”

Zhu Chun also nodded. If you want to say what people expected, he is deeply touched. Now it seems that one of the points that Yun Hee has just come to the attention of everyone was made during a conversation with him.

"But how could anyone have expected it?" Zhu Zhen said.

"Don't think about it, the way the imperial brother thinks about things can be guessed, but what he wants to do, if he can easily guess, how can he be unpredictable? In a few moments the feast will begin, and you will know when the time comes. Yun Xi said.

After listening to Yun Xi's words, everyone felt that it made sense; They all understood Yun Xi's idea of doing things after research, but they still couldn't guess what he would do with a thing; And this is just a show at the banquet of the clan, it is not worth thinking too much, so everyone put this matter aside and talked about something else.

"Sixth uncle, I heard about the barbarian rebellion on the west side of Huxi last year, and you went to quell the rebellion again?" King Jixi of Jin said suddenly.

"Well, the barbarian rebellion in Guzhou (now Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province), I took the guards in Wuchang and other places and the Tujia (Tujia) in Xiangxi to suppress the rebellion."

"The local barbarians are about to rebel because the court sent some conscripts, it's really damned, I have broken through more than 200 villages, and all the barbarians who dare to rebel are all executed, and I will leave some after the children are castrated, and the rest will stay in Wuchang for the time being, waiting for Your Majesty to fall." Zhu Zhen said in a slightly ostentatious tone.

"Haha, speaking of which, there are too many eunuchs this year, and Eighteen also has a lot of children in Myanmar to be sent to the Central Plains, and the lack of eunuchs in each royal palace will be greatly reduced, and there may be a lot of wealth." Yun Xi said with a smile.

"That's good." Ji Xi said: "Otherwise, if you are as tight as before, you can only use palace maids, but too many palace maids will cause disgust among civil officials." Now all the problems are solved. ”

"Speaking of which, the Tujia people in Xiangxi are really tame, I remember reading the Di newspaper on weekdays, and I can often see the rebellion in Huguang Province to recruit the Tujia people." Zhu Chun was reluctant to talk about eunuchs and talked about this topic.

Before Zhu Zhen could speak, Zhu Bai, the king of Hunan who had just arrived, heard Ji Ye speak and said: "The Tujia people are very tame and obedient to the words of the government. ”

"If only all of our Mongols in Yiwu were like that." Shang Bing, the king of Qin, came over and said: "When I arrived in Yiwu, I found that the Mongols were very lazy, and they usually didn't spend much energy grazing, so they were completely unwilling to find a reason to shirk if they did something else. ”

"No, they are still very obedient to the Mongols to fight," Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, said: "The Duoyanwei Mongols under my command are very obedient when they are transferred to war. ”

"But now we have no war in Yiwu, what we need is construction. According to the words of the imperial brother, if Timur fights, Yiwu needs to be built as an important place to fight against Timur; If Timur dies without fighting, he will also need a Wufu Minfeng Yiwu to expand westward in the future. So I need these Mongols to work. Shang Bing said.

"Then this will not be easy, it will be easy for the Mongols to fight the battlefield, and it will be impossible for them to work." Ji Xi said with a smile. There were also many Mongols among his three bodyguards, and they were very familiar with their temperaments.
