Chapter 244: A Vegetarian
Zhu Xinghe's first thought after receiving this post, naturally he would not go. But it still depends on the meaning of Princess Yongle and Ling Tianhan, if the two of them don't go, it will be a smooth success if they don't go.
At present, in the end, it is more important to have a palace banquet for this year's festival.
At the end of the annual festival, the palace banquet is extremely cumbersome.
At noon in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the courtiers had to go to the palace to meet the emperor. And in the evening, there is also a family feast. Early the next morning, the members of the royal family will go to the altar with the emperor and the people of the National Teacher's Hall to pray for blessings for the coming year.
But when it comes to praying for blessings, the emperor used to not let Ling Tianhan, a "disaster star", be present, but I don't know how to say it this year.
This is the most formal occasion of the year. Therefore, Zhu Xinghe's dress is more formal than the engraved silk mud gold and silver Ruyi cloud pattern palace dress that he saw the Penglai envoys that day. It is the color that Yongle chose for Zhu Xinghe, and the aqua blue one can also match Zhu Xinghe's fair face.
Yongle is pregnant, but he doesn't have to wear as cumbersome as usual. is simple, but it is more atmospheric than Her Royal Highness the Princess.
When the carriage of the Feng family took Yongle and Zhu Xinghe all the way to the gate of the palace, Zhu Xinghe saw that there was an untimely pure white carriage in the carriage of those dignitaries and nobles at the gate of the palace!
Don't think about it, it's naturally the carriage of Prince Ping's mansion.
Seeing the carriage, even Yongle frowned: "Didn't you say that Prince Ping wouldn't come today?" ”
Prince Ping's family is also a big funeral, if he had said that he was coming, I am afraid that Yongle would not come. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a collision with the child in Yongle's womb, and no one can bear this responsibility.
Feng Wenrong looked at Yongle very cautiously: "Why don't we go back to the house now?" ”
Since Yongle was pregnant, this letter of Wenrong is really good to Yongle.
Yongle used to be a squeamish and willful little princess, but now she can take charge of herself and shook her head: "If our children are afraid of Prince Ping, won't they be crushed by their Prince Ping's Mansion in the future?" Walk, go in and meet him. This palace also wants to see what tricks he can make today! ”
The carriages of the ministers stopped at the gate of the palace one after another, and naturally they all saw Prince Ping's carriage.
Some courtiers, like them, were very disgusted with Prince Ping's approach. But some of them are different, those ministers who are very close to Prince Ping on weekdays, and even some of them have arrived at the gate of the palace, but they saw the plain white carriage, and drove their own carriage home, and hurriedly changed into plain white clothes, which was clearly to stand on Prince Ping's side.
When Yongle took Zhu Xinghe to the palace, Zhu Xinghe noticed that although it was the New Year's Festival, there was not much lively atmosphere in the hall. On the contrary, everyone is frowning, and the ministers are all thinking about it, and it seems that they all know that Prince Ping has to make trouble today.
Zhuo Anxun has arrived, because the wedding date is about to begin, so Zhuo Anxun naturally sits next to Su Huan. It seems that Su Huan is a little thinner than before, and her spirit is not very good, obviously Zhuo Anxun did not let her go.
And Zhu Xinghe also noticed that the woman Zhuo Anxun was waiting for was the flower girl they "saved" that day. Now looking at the flower girl smiling and waiting for Zhuo Anxun, she is more favored than Su Huan.
If it were the past, Zhu Xinghe might sympathize with Su Huan.
But since that incident, Zhu Xinghe has no good mood for Su Huan.
Su Huan saw Zhu Xinghe enter the door, and his eyes were also resentful. But Zhu Xinghe also returned with cold eyes, but asked Su Huanxian to bow his head.
Zhu Xinghe noticed that Su Huan was probably afraid of Zhuo Anxun today, so although she was from Prince Ping's Mansion, she did not wear plain white clothes like people from Prince Ping's Mansion.
But her clothes were not festive, just a simple light gray cloud goose fine brocade dress. There are not many decorations on the head, although they are luxurious, but they are also not as pleasant as the half-minute New Year's Festival.
Looking at Zhuo Anxun again, he is now the trusted prince of the emperor's group. Although it didn't take long to help the emperor deal with political affairs, Zhuo Anxun's current limelight has already overshadowed Prince Ping.
has been dormant for so many years, and now Zhuo Anxun, who has finally come out, is not half low-key. What he is wearing today is a dark red golden silk python suit, with the crown of the agate gold-rimmed dragon rewarded by the emperor on his head, and the whole person looks extremely noble.
If it weren't for the fact that there was something wrong with his legs, I was afraid that in everyone's eyes, this Zhuo Anxun would be a "perfect" prince, right?
He held a wine glass in his hand, and a pair of deep eyes of the city government observed everyone around him. When Zhu Xinghe entered the door, his eyes also fell on Zhu Xinghe's body for a moment.
After Zhu Xinghe sat down, Ling Tianhan also came.
Coincidentally, Ling Tianhan, who likes to wear dark colors on weekdays, is wearing dark blue today. There are similarities with the water-blue palace of Zhu Xinghe, and I don't know if Yongle already knew about it, so he specially chose such a "couple outfit" for them to match.
Ling Tianhan entered the door, and Zhu Xinghe glanced at him from a distance, knowing each other's minds, but there was no need to say anything more.
After Ling Tianhan sat down, the emperor and queen also came. But Prince Ping hasn't arrived yet, and I don't know what trouble he will make!
When the emperor and queen arrived, everyone naturally got up and saluted. Looking at the emperor's eyes, he was not very happy, shouted "flat", and after saying a few polite words of blessing, he announced the opening of the banquet.
At the time of the banquet, Prince Taira still had not arrived.
But as soon as the first song and dance was played, Prince Ping suddenly entered the palace with a weapon!
Prince Ping led his son Zhuo Ding into the door, and both father and son were carrying spears behind them.
Even regardless of the fact that the singers and dancers were still present, Prince Ping actually pushed away the palace maid in front of him, and then stood on the spot and hugged his fist at the emperor: "Weichen is late, please forgive the emperor!" ”
His carriage arrived at the gate of the palace early in the morning, but the people were late. And he was also dressed in a vegetarian body, and went to the temple with weapons. After going to the palace, not only did he not kneel, but his attitude was arrogant, which was simply too unruly!
Seeing the civil officials below, someone had already stood up and wanted to speak.
The emperor waved his hand to the civil official, and then frowned and looked at Prince Ping: "What do you mean by Brother Wang?" ”
Prince Ping snorted coldly, it was still not expensive, but he clapped his hands.
Behind him, there were two little eunuchs who were also dressed in vegetarian clothes, and they carried up the body of a palace maid!
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the body of the palace maid was carried up to the hall, which was simply unlucky!
