On Chinese New Year's Eve, according to custom, the royal mansion feast.

It has been eighteen years since Zhu Houwei crossed over to the body of the deceased little prince, but in his previous life, he was just an extremely ordinary member of hundreds of millions of ordinary people, with no strong idea of respect and inferiority in his bones, and he had the most ordinary sense of small people.

A person who has been systematically educated is deeply rooted in the concept of the rule of law and the concept of equality for all, and if he easily changes because of the change of the environment, it can only be said that his own belief itself is not firm enough.

Zhu Houwei is a person with very firm beliefs, so even if he is the most honorable prince of the Ming Dynasty, he still does not have the habit of commanding and overpowering others with power.

This habit may not be a good thing in the feudal era, because Diao slaves will bully the master, of course, such a thing as Diao slave bullying the master cannot happen to Zhu Houwei, because his identity is already noble to the point that even if he kills the ring, he can be unscathed, and bullying the master is tantamount to looking for death.

After all, the softness of the temperament is not in line with the foundation of the superior, but this point can only be changed by time.

Zhu Houwei likes to be lively, likes a big family to get together, and doesn't like the kind of scene where he only promises when he meets, and even kowtows directly.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the servants who have families in Huzhou Capital receive rewards and return to their respective homes, while those who have long lost their homes, such as girls, or whose homes are too far away to return, such as the palace maids and eunuchs he brought from the capital to Huzhou, or subordinate officials such as Xu Zhenqing, etc., will gather in the main hall of the royal palace to wait for the banquet.

At night, the main hall of the palace was already brightly lit, dozens of eight immortal tables were placed in the main hall, and all the people except Zhu Houwei had already arrived, and they had all taken their seats.

In the era of dignity and order, the seat is a university question, and even in the later generations, if you sit blindly, it will cause the unhappiness of the host or the host and the guest, which will lead to a series of unacceptable consequences.

What is China, the etiquette is called China, the beauty of the chapter dress is called the summer, China is different from the barbarian state, the ceremony can be combined with the sky!

The main table is naturally Zhu Houwei's, even the two long histories are also subordinate officials of the palace, royal courtiers, and they are not qualified to share the table with Zhu Houwei, the third table is Ren Xing, Hong Ji and several eunuchs who served in the academy, the fourth table is the general of the guard headed by Zhou Ning, and then there are the directors in the palace, the account room, the shopkeeper, the miscellaneous servants, etc.

As for the female dependents, it is naturally impossible to gather in the same hall with the men, otherwise Xu Zhenqing, these old stubborns, have to throw off their sleeves and leave, and the female dependents settle in the apse, and they have their own separate seats, but today is different from previous years, and there is no hostess in the palace, but this year there is.

Sister Yu has already gone to bed, although the prince has not given her a name, but she can be regarded as half a hostess, and the name is not given in the palace as soon as possible, just like a concubine, as long as Zhu Houwei is willing, he can give Sister Yu the name of a concubine at any time, after all, there is no fixed number for this thing of concubine, theoretically speaking, how much you want to give.

But the princess and the side concubine are different, this is a name that needs to be recognized by the royal family, and if you want to go to the sect, then the general prince's wedding will be given by the royal family, of course, the prince himself can also play the invitation first and then give the marriage to go a form.

Although the side concubine is not so strict, she also needs a daughter with a clear family background, what kind of criminal official, the daughter of a businessman, and a woman in the dust, of course, these cannot become side concubines, otherwise wouldn't it be a discredit to the royal family?

Sister Yu'er's identity has long been taken care of by Zhu Houwei, the daughter of an ordinary household, her net worth is very innocent, not to mention that the side concubine or the concubine are qualified, but a few years ago, the Empress Dowager Zhang asked people to come to Huzhou to tell Zhu Houwei that she had selected a marriage for her, and the Empress Dowager Zhang personally chose to be the princess, so Sister Yu was destined to have no chance with the concubine.

Huaxia not only has to talk about etiquette but also about filial piety, the great ancestors of the world are the largest, this is the real belief of the people, losing this faith is to forget the ancestors, the dynasties of the past dynasties are to rule the world in the name of filial piety, Zhu Houwei wants to veto his mother Empress Dowager Zhang's marriage is not filial, such a super invincible hat buttoned down, Zhu Houwei even if the head iron can not be carried.

"The prince has arrived!"

With the shouting of the guard on duty, Zhu Houwei slowly walked into the main hall, on his side was Wu Xueyu, who was now the only woman in the main hall, no way, the maids of the royal palace were graced to go to the apse to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Zhu Houwei came to the main banquet, with his identity, he could not pour himself wine and cloth, then Xu Zhenqing and others would definitely take the little black book to write it down, saying that King Yong violated the etiquette system.

When the prince came, everyone naturally got up to greet him, and it was not until Zhu Houwei arrived at the main seat that he sat down.

Different from the Chinese New Year's Eve when Zhu Houwei first came to Huzhou City, that year Zhu Houwei called the whole house for a night banquet, and those servants were unbelievable, this is an opportunity to have dinner with Wang Ye, how many lifetimes will it take to cultivate this blessing?

So even if they came at that time, they were nervous and even more cramped, but today, this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was also held several times, cramped may still be a little, but the tension is definitely gone.

And for the next people, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the Yongwang Mansion is definitely not just as simple as having a meal with Wang Ye, it is also an opportunity, an opportunity to get rich and promoted.

Zhu Houwei looked at Wu Xueyu, who was standing beside him and still holding a wine jug in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sit down, you can stand while you are sitting, it looks awkward."

"Slaves don't dare."

"This king asked you to sit on the toilet, where did you not dare?"

Wu Xueyu hesitated, but finally moved his steps, but before he could sit down, he saw Li Mengyang get up and arch his hands and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, my subordinates think it's inappropriate!"

Sure enough, there are still flies that stir up the atmosphere, if Zhu Houwei can't wait to slap this guy out of the hall, he immediately frowned and said unhappily: "What's wrong?"

"The prince is the prince's honor, how can he sit with the slave and maid, and the subordinates also know that the prince is benevolent, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, but the so-called etiquette is not inferior to the concubine......"

"Alright, alright." Zhu Houwei pressed his hand and said, "Li Youshi's ears are about to give birth to these words of this king, how can this king not know what the ceremony is, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, even the Son of Heaven will rejoice with all the people, this king feasts the whole mansion, it is difficult to lose a woman's seat."

"The prince's words are wrong." Xu Zhenqing got up and said with a smile: "Li Youshi didn't mean that the Wu family couldn't sit down, he meant that she shouldn't sit at the same table with the prince, so there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and it is difficult to meet the etiquette."

"Lord, if the slave and maid don't sit, just stand up." Wu Xueyu was about to cry when she was aggrieved.
