By the end of the afternoon, the Dafu Palace was already overcrowded. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
To put it bluntly, the place is still a little small, otherwise, if all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty come, there will be nowhere to stay.
When Liu Chang saw such a scene, he also felt his wit, and fortunately found a lot of territory.
Now that the site has been demarcated, there is Zuo Qing's doctor Sima Yuan personally approving the documents, they are all princelings, there is no problem at all, just go through it again.
Now is ready to choose an auspicious day to start construction.
With the gold and silver rewarded by the emperor this time, this banquet can collect a lot of money, and there is no problem with the construction of the mansion, the gold, silver, money and food are in place, and everything is easy to say.
This banquet, Liu Chang did not invite the provincial officials, you must know that there are many provincial officials, if they all come to the scene, it will be repaid.
It's just that after the fact, it is estimated that a lot of gold and silver can be received.
There is no way, the identity of the prince just has too many advantages.
"Second Highness has arrived."
At this time, it was the second prince who was not well from his injuries suddenly arrived.
The orchestra and others immediately welcomed the second prince in, and the second prince was sitting in a wheelchair, with gauze bandaged in several places on his body, looking a little embarrassed.
At that time, it was quite good to be alive under the arrows.
Liu Chang also greeted the younger brother in person, patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, why don't you take care of your injuries, how dangerous it is to come out, you are prone to typhoid fever, and it is not good for your health." ”
This time, Liu Chang still cared about this second brother more or less in his heart, and as for what happened before, he could only forget about it.
Liu Ye, in fact, Liu Chang knows that he is low-key, as for what he is doing behind the scenes, he doesn't want to pay too much attention, this younger brother at least has a good relationship with him.
"Big brother, what's the matter if you're a little injured, you've been promoted, how can you be a younger brother and say hello, haha."
Liu Ye smiled happily, regardless of his previous suspicions.
The subordinates pushed Liu Ye in the wheelchair to the middle of the ministers, and Liu Chang didn't say much, asking people to take care of the second prince as well as possible.
"Second Highness."
Zhou Biao and others greeted Liu Ye one after another, they were the prince, even if there was any conspiracy behind them, they were all amiable on the surface.
"The fourth highness, the fifth highness, the sixth highness, and the eighth highness have arrived."
The fourth prince Liu Xie, the fifth prince Liu Busy, the sixth prince Liu Yu, and the eighth prince Liu Li.
After a while, the princes came hand in hand to congratulate their eldest brother.
Liu Chang warmly received his younger brothers, and they were all quite harmonious, not so tragic as secretly.
"Big brother, congratulations!"
"Haha, sit down, I'm glad to see you coming."
The hypocritical scene was not difficult to say, and Liu Chang beckoned his younger brothers to sit inside.
Each prince brought gifts to a greater or lesser extent.
Don't look at the princes, in fact, most of the princes are quite poor and can't get any decent gifts at all, but Liu Chang doesn't mind at all.
The purpose of this time is not to get many gifts, but to announce one thing to everyone, he Liu Chang, has become the king of Nanming.
One after another, many princes came, and even the seven-year-old twenty-two princes were taken by the servants to attend Liu Chang's banquet.
Seeing this little brother, Liu Chang smiled heartily: "Little brother, you came to play or join in the fun." ”
The twenty-second prince said very mischievously: "I came to see your demeanor, eldest brother." ”
Liu Chang laughed and asked him to take it aside to entertain him.
"Princess Dongping, Princess Beihai has arrived."
This time, a few female guests came, Princess Liu Huan of Dongping, who is eighteen years old, and Liu Xiang, the fourth prince, is the child of Concubine Zhang Duoduo.
And Liu Huan is the eldest princess of the royal family, the oldest one, and all princes and princesses have to call her sister.
Next year, Princess Liu Huan of Dongping will marry far away to the Nanming Empire and become the wife of Sikong Xiangyu, the second prince of the royal family of the Nanming Empire.
When she was a child, Princess Dongping was also good to Liu Chang, and she could have fun.
"Eldest sister, you're here too."
Liu Chang was a little happy and a little surprised, because the invitation did not invite several princesses to come.
Liu Huan's arrival was unexpected.
"Hmph, boy, you have grown up now, your wings are stiff, you don't recognize my sister and me, and you won't tell me about such a big thing."
Liu Huan was very displeased, obviously because Liu Chang didn't invite her, and she was angry.
Liu Chang hurriedly explained: "Isn't it that you are busy and have forgotten it, eldest sister, don't be angry, you have something to say." ”
Liu Huan raised his fist, if there was no one, it is estimated that he would have killed Liu Chang's ears, and he was not less twisted when he was a child.
"Eldest sister, come with me, I have prepared a good place for you, and my sister is crowned, don't call me eldest brother when you meet, it's easy to be beaten."
Liu Chang took Liu Huan to the room he had prepared, and looked at another woman, Liu Mian, the princess of Beihai.
Liu Mian is the daughter of Concubine Yuan of Hemei Palace, and she also has a younger brother, Liu Yao, the tenth prince, who doesn't seem to have come this time.
Liu Yao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You give me less poor mouth, you take advantage of me when you are younger than me, let me call you brother, do you understand the rules, believe it or not, let my eldest sister help me spank you." ”
In fact, Liu Yao was more than a month older than Liu Chang, and he was also waiting for the coming-of-age ceremony, so he was promised to be married to a vassal state under the Feng Dynasty Empire, Shuangxi State, and he had to marry him when he became an adult.
"You think I'm a kid and spanked, now you're waiting to be spanked by me, haha."
Liu Chang has a good relationship with several princesses, of course, there are also a few princesses who don't deal with Liu Chang, and they didn't come to make trouble this time.
And even Liu Chang's sister Liu Mi is not there, because Liu Chang's sister got married a year ago, married to He Lei, a border guard general stationed in Latin Province, known as General Thunder.
arranged Liu Huan and Liu Yao in a quiet room, and took the opportunity to chat with the three sisters and brothers.
Liu Chang smiled and said, "Eldest sister, I will hold a coming-of-age ceremony next year, what gift will you prepare for me?" ”
Liu Huan was dumbfounded, there is still more than half a year before the coming-of-age ceremony, you want a gift, it's really not your own brother: "Hey, don't you say that I really haven't remembered it, I'll go back and think about it, in fact, between us, what kind of gift to give, you are not bad for a gift from me." ”
"No, there must be, is it important to be polite and favorable, besides, you are about to get married, you must not give me some of your dowry before you get married, you are embarrassed to marry."
"Shameless, you actually beat me for the idea of a dowry."
"I heard that the guy named Sikong Xiangyu in the Nanming Empire is handsome and chic, quite romantic, if you don't find a chance for me to teach him a lesson, so that after you get married, he will definitely be dead set on you and love you very much."
"Don't talk about me, why don't you talk about your sister Baidiedie, I think you will suffer in the future."
Liu Chang also had a headache, he was talking about Zhou Biao's daughter Zhou Baidie, who was a restless woman, Liu Chang really didn't plan to marry her, but his destiny was hard to disobey and he was already destined to marry.
Anyway, Liu Chang took advantage of the fact that his two sisters were not married, so he asked for some gifts first.
