Chapter 18: The Dinner at the Mandarin Palace
I recommend two books, "I Am the Great Judge" and "The Rise of Jiawu", the authors in the group all say that they are poisonous, and I don't read much of it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning of the day, the palace is lit up everywhere.
At this moment, the imperial palace is more magnificent than when the sun goes down on the eve of this, the firelight shines on the blue bricks, glowing with cyan light, and this cyan light and orange-red firelight, crimson light set off each other, looking from the outside of the imperial city.
At this moment, the imperial city glows with all kinds of strange lights in the night, which looks majestic and atmospheric.
In the Wenhua Palace, Zhou Zheng, Zhou Xue, Zhou Ruoying and others had already sat down, and the two positions at the front of the hall had already been made up, and the one sitting on the right was a man wearing a dragon robe.
From Zhou Zheng's point of view, the man's face is like a stencil printed by himself, with the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, the same square face, and the same face, except for the eyes.
Between the eyebrows, there is an invisible majesty, which is not simply exposed on the surface, but a kind of majesty that emanates from within.
This is his father, the Great Zhou Emperor, the Great Zhou Emperor, the King of Zhou Wei: Zhou Hong.
And on the right is his mother, Queen Baili.
"Xun'er has government affairs to deal with today, and I can't come, so let's start this banquet."
Zhou Hong's voice suddenly spread in this small hall.
The Wenhua Hall has always been used for the Son of Heaven to entertain guests, the place is not too big, and there are a few people in this world who are worthy of the Son of Heaven to feast, so the area of the Wenhua Hall is about 100 square meters, which is equivalent to the area of a house in his own time and space.
"Xun'er is really, there is no time for the family banquet, and you are an old immortal, so I don't know what Xun'er is doing."
As soon as Zhou Hong's words were finished, Bai Lixuan on the right hand couldn't help complaining.
This complaint immediately dispersed Zhou Hong's originally somewhat serious face, and all that was left was an explanation.
"I don't want to do this or this, Xun'er is going to take over my position in the future, how can I do it if I don't hone it first."
The words of the two adults, after listening to Zhou Zheng and the others below, also wanted to laugh a little, even though the father was the son of heaven of the Great Zhou, but in the face of the mother's complaints, he could only put down the shelf of the son of heaven and explain softly.
For a while, the majestic atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall suddenly disappeared, and even Zhou Xue was no longer restrained, and talked to Zhou Ruoying.
Zhou Zheng, who was ignored for a while, was only one person who muffled his voice to eat and drink, and he was happy to eat.
It took a long time for Zhou Hong to use his tender offensive to finally comfort his queen, and then he put his eyes below.
As soon as he looked down, Zhou Hong saw that his second son Zhou Zheng was eating Hu Tianhudi, and there were a lot of residues in front of him.
Immediately, Zhou Hong couldn't stand it.
"Second brother, can you eat a little, if you let the world know that the dignified son eats with this virtue, and you can pay it back?"
The world's etiquette comes from the Son of Heaven, and Zhou Zheng's actions are undoubtedly contrary to etiquette.
However, Zhou Zheng himself also had an explanation for his father's statement, and immediately Zhou Zheng touched the corner of his mouth and said.
"Father, there are no outsiders in this Wenhua Palace, and there will be people there who know."
In the face of Zhou Zheng's words, Zhou Hong thought about it, he still knew a little bit about his son's character, so he didn't say anything anymore.
Zhou Zheng saw that his father didn't say anything, and immediately began to bury his head in hard work, Zhou Xue and Zhou Ruoying on the side were also smiling, and Zhou Hong and Bai Lixuan above also said a few words while eating.
The family was happy in the Wenhua Palace, and they said a few words to each other from time to time, but most of them were Zhou Hong and Bai Lixuan's concern for Zhou Zheng and others.
The time of a family banquet did not pass too long, and at the end of the day it was already dark, Bai Lixuan looked at the sky outside and said to Zhou Hong: "The night is so deep, the children will have a lot of trouble going out at this time, it is better to stay in the imperial city." ”
After meeting the children, I am always a little reluctant in my heart, so it is better to let the children stay and have someone to talk to at night.
After listening to his wife's words, Zhou Hong thought slightly in his heart: Since it is dark this day, he really shouldn't let the children return to the imperial palace at night, even though the imperial palace is not too far from the imperial city.
And if you leave the imperial city at this time, you still need to write your will, pass on the imperial city defenders, and the imperial city defenders will also inspect the will, which is really inconvenient, plus you have something to say to the second child, it is better to let the children stay.
"The queen is reasonable, so let the children stay in the imperial city for one night."
"In that case, then Xue'er and Ruoying will go with me to the Chenglu Palace, and Zheng'er will follow your father and the emperor at night."
After Empress Baili saw that Zhou Hong agreed with her suggestion, even if she wanted to take Zhou Xue and Zhou Ruoying to the Chenglu Palace, Zhou Zheng followed her father to the residence in the inner city.
After the father and son got into the carriage, they sat opposite each other.
Zhou Hong looked at his second son, and couldn't help but think of some other things, and then said: "I didn't expect my son to start growing up now, and finally know how to study." ”
As soon as Zhou Hong's words came out, Zhou Zheng knew what his father meant.
As a prince, his father naturally pays more attention, and he has changed his previous style in the past two days and has begun to become more motivated, so naturally someone will report to Zhou Hong.
"It's still the master's teaching, otherwise how could the ministers be stunned."
Zhou Zheng said very modestly.
The reason why he suddenly studied hard, Zhou Zheng naturally shirked it was the master's credit, who let himself because since the master's class, he suddenly changed his previous style.
Suddenly?
As soon as Zhou Zheng's words came out, Zhou Hong keenly noticed the word used by Zhou Zheng, and after tasting it in his mouth for a long time, he felt more and more that this word was quite meaningful.
"Yes, the word "mouth" used by my son really makes my father's eyes shine, and it fits the context quite well."
Zhou Hong's praise made Zhou Zheng feel a little embarrassed, this was originally a word he said casually, or he plagiarized the cultural essence of the ancients in the time and space to which he belonged.
At this point, he was praised by his father.
The father and son were talking, and suddenly Zhou Hong changed the topic and turned to an unrelated topic.
"Zheng'er, you will be an adult in another year, and then you will have to take on more responsibilities for your father."
Da Zhou was seventeen years old and came of age.
Zhou Hong's words were inexplicable, why did he suddenly reach his age.
"Father, what do you mean?"
"Nothing, just something you need to know."
"Things?"
