Chapter 451: The Same Purse
Emperor Yuchen entertained the envoys of the two tribes who came to worship in the Chonghua Palace. It's also interesting to say that the patriarch of the Moonfall clan came with his little daughter, and the Wuti clan came with his son, which doesn't seem to be anything in normal times, but many of the items they brought with them seem to have come to ask for marriage.
The feast in the palace is generally carried out near noon, although there are only two small tribes who come to worship, but there are still many tribes on the way to Yunshang country.
The seats of Emperor Yuchen, the Queen Mother, and the Empress are listed in the first place, and there are several concubines with higher or more favored positions on the lower right, and there is a large table on the left side, which can seat four people, which is specially prepared for the regent and his wife. The next few tables were set up for entertaining envoys, and some were for banquets for some high-ranking ministers in the court.
With the climax of the eunuch, the regent Yun Yuqi and Ling Ruohui walked into the main hall hand in hand, followed by Chen'er and Hongluan, as well as a few handmaidens and retinues who were waiting with them.
The civil and military officials greeted each other respectfully, "Everyone get up." King Qi smiled lightly.
"Dad, are you entertaining someone today? Why is it so lively, and I have to wear such cumbersome clothes. Hongluan pouted.
"Yes, today is your imperial uncle who is going to entertain envoys from other tribes, you have to obediently follow your mother and don't run around, do you hear?"
"Oh, Dad, don't worry, Hongluan knows the severity, and he must obediently follow his mother's side today to ensure that he doesn't run around." Hongluan said solemnly.
"Well, that's good, don't just talk about it, run away again after a while, and when you go back, your mother will punish you." Ling Ruoyi said with a doting smile.
"Punish me? How to punish it? If I were to be punished with a plate of hibiscus cake, I would gladly accept it. Hongluan stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"You little girl, you're such a snacker, and I don't know who you look like." Ling Ruohui scraped Hongluan's pretty nose with her hand, and then said with a good look.
King Qi looked at Ling Ruoyi and said secretly in his heart, who is it like? Isn't it like you, so greedy, and said that she is the god of food, opening a gluttonous restaurant, the most famous restaurant in the capital, which dish is not she herself tasted, and she also mentioned the cook. Especially the two babies in the family, their mouths are fed.
"Mother, of course Hongluan is like you, didn't you say it? Are children like their parents? Hongluan wants to be like a mother. ”
Although it was a child's joke, Ling Ruoxuan didn't think so, if Hongluan really wanted to learn from herself, then she might not be happy in this life.
At this moment, I heard the eunuch singing loudly, "The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, and the queen has arrived at ......."
King Qi and Ling Ruohui greeted them respectfully with this pair of children, to say that among the so many princesses and princes of the Queen Mother, in addition to the pair of children born to the queen, the most favored are King Qi's two treasures.
"Chen'er and Hongluan meet the emperor's grandmother." The two ghosts and elves knelt on the ground together and said in unison.
"Good boy, get up quickly, let's sit next to the mourning family today." The Queen Mother smiled lovingly. What is the identity of the Queen Mother? Not to mention the children of ordinary concubines, even if it is from the queen, it may not be blessed to sit at the same table with the queen mother.
"Imperial grandmother, in order to fulfill filial piety, Chen'er and Hongluan should be happy under the knees of the imperial grandmother, but today is the day when foreign countries come to the court, and my father and mother have educated us, saying that today is a special day, and we must be obedient and not allowed to make trouble." Chen'er smiled lightly.
"Yes, Imperial Grandmother, Hongluan will definitely not cause trouble obediently, otherwise the mother concubine will punish Hongluan." Hongluan said with a face full of grievances. That little appearance seems to have been greatly wronged, but who dares to give her grievances in this Yunshang country, who doesn't know that she was born with auspiciousness, provoking this little ancestor, isn't that self-immolation?
"Our Hongluan is so well-behaved and sensible, where can we cause trouble, Ruoyi, you don't have to take care of the child too tightly. Children, they should play, smart children will be naughty, and unintelligent children will be submissive. The Queen Mother said.
Clever children are naughty, this is something everyone knows, but the queen's son is a stuffy gourd, and he can't play with other princes and princesses, maybe some concubines think that their children should stay away from the queen's son, because that is the future emperor, if it gets along well now, it's just fine, if it's not good? In the future, when this prince ascends the throne, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to cut those who are not in line with him.
It's also strange to say, no matter how weird his temper is, Chen'er and Hongluan can always have a lot of fun with him. "Brother Prince, last time you said that you liked the hibiscus cake made by my mother, this time I brought some into the palace, and handed them over to the eunuch who served you. Hongluan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Hongluan." The prince said lightly. Immediately, the prince's eyes stayed on the purse on the waist of Chen'er and Hongluan, although he also had a purse, but it was very different from Chen'er and Hongluan's in terms of pattern and fragrance.
"Chen'er, who made your purse for you, it's so chic." The prince said lightly.
"Oh, this is made for us by my mother, and the purse on my father's body is also made by my mother, does the prince's brother like it?" Chen'er said with a smile while holding her purse.
The prince looked at the little tiger on Chen'er's purse and was very cute, "Yes, this palace likes it very much, why is your purse a little tiger and Hongluan a little monkey?" ”
"The mother concubine said that it was embroidered according to our zodiac, and the petals in it are also what we like, mine is Mulan, and Hongluan is Du Ruo."
"Hongu really envy you." The prince lowered his hand. He is the crown prince, and his mother is the queen, but none of the things on his body were made by his mother herself, and they were all made by the palace people. No matter how good the needlework of the palace people is, there is still a lack of maternal and child affection in it.
"Prince, if you like it, the queen mother will also embroider one for you, what kind of color do you want?" The queen smiled lightly.
"Queen Mother, I want the same purse as Chen'er Hongluan." The prince said lightly.
"Do you want Chen'er to be the same as Hongluan? So do you like Chen'er or Hongluan? The queen asked.
Unexpectedly, the prince hung his head and said, "Forget it, you don't understand what I want at all." "If you want to say that this queen is really a stupid belly, her son's mind can't be fathomed, saying that she wants a purse like someone, does it have to be exactly the same? The prince's thoughts, Ling Ruohui naturally understood it.
What the prince wants most is not an identical purse, but hopes that his queen mother can truly understand himself and understand his preferences.
Immediately, the prince bowed his hand to King Qi and his wife: "My nephew has seen Uncle Wang and Auntie. ”
"The prince is exempt, you don't need to salute us, Auntie doesn't look very good, isn't it a good rest recently?" Ling Ruoyi diverted the topic.
"Yes, it's always hard for me to sleep at night, and the imperial doctor in the imperial hospital can't do anything, and my nephew is thinking of going to the palace to ask my aunt to show me another day." The prince smiled bitterly.
"Okay, after today's banquet, my aunt will go to your palace to give you a good look, you have a very important burden on your shoulders, and your body can't deviate. How worried your grandmother, father, and queen mother would be. ”
"Yes, my nephew knows." The prince smiled lightly.
At this moment, the chief eunuch Yuanfu came to report, "Emperor Qi, the patriarchs of the Moonfall Clan and the Wuqi Clan have all arrived, and they are now on the side of Huaqing Pond." ”
"Oh? Okay, invite them in. After finishing speaking, Emperor Yuchen walked to the first seat and sat down, and then the queen mother, the queen, King Qi and his wife, and the concubines of the palace sat down one after another.
"The patriarch of the moonfall clan came to worship with the little princess, and the patriarch of the Wuqi clan came to worship with the little prince." The eunuch shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Hongluan tilted her little head and didn't know what she was thinking, "Mother, one of them came with a princess and the other with a prince, did they come to us to ask for marriage?" ”
Yes...... Ling Ruoyi didn't know how to answer Hongluan's question for a while, she was a three-year-old girl, did she know what courtship was? Still asked like this, could it be that this child is so precocious, how worried she will be in the future.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Hongluan said, they came here suddenly, and they brought the princess and the prince, maybe they really want to marry us." King Qi said lightly.
"Is there anything bad about marrying us? You want the two races to marry so much. Ling Ruoyi wondered. Even if these two tribes are here to marry, a tribal princess, the emperor accepts a concubine, as for whether you love it or not, it is a matter of two people, as for the prince, it is easy to say, find a woman from the clan to marry. This Yuqi also said that it is a good thing for two clans to marry.
"My lady, you are really smart and confused for a while, how many people can marry this princess and prince in the court now, even if the princess is taken as a concubine by the royal brother, then what about the prince of the Wuti country? Officials of the DPRK and China, who would marry their daughters to such a remote and backward place? ”
Ling Ruoyi bowed slightly, this is indeed the case, who is willing to marry his daughter far away, and it is only a remote small tribe, not to mention the scenery, I don't know if I can survive.
"Are you planning to bring about a marriage between the two tribes?"
"Then it depends on whether they want to worship simply or have other purposes."
When the patriarchs of the Yueluo clan and the Wuqi clan entered the main hall with their darlings, they all saluted the people seated, and Emperor Yuchen responded with a smile, showing the demeanor and majesty of the king of the Yunshang country.
"Emperor Yunshang, thank you for your hospitality to us, this is the sacred bird of our moonfall clan, it can sing and dance, I give it to you." The patriarch of the Moonfall Clan said respectfully. Xuan immediately held the peacock in front of Emperor Yuchen.
"Oh? Is it? Then let her dance for me. Emperor Yuchen said with curiosity. In other words, except for Ling Ruoxi, everyone was very curious about how this peacock danced.
"Okay." The patriarch of the Moonfall Clan said with pride on his face. This is their treasure bird, and as long as their daughter comes up and dances later, the bird will spread its tail feathers and dance with it, so everything will be easy......
