At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also came in from outside and asked:

"Biao'er, is the family banquet ready?"

"Back to my father, everything is ready to wait for you, the queen mother and the eldest brother to take a seat."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction......

Looking at Zhu Tong, who looked reluctant, Zhu Biao stepped forward and explained:

"Big brother, you don't have to be nervous, just our family has a casual meal, mainly to thank you for healing your mother and to congratulate you on the opening of the salt farm."

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Tong's twisted face dissipated, but he was still very surprised by this inexplicable family banquet, but he had already promised that he would break into the Longtan Tiger's Den.

What's more, it's a family banquet that is usual, let's go and see it, but we must be vigilant at all times, this is not an ordinary person to eat with the Ming Emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang has killed a lot of people in the history books.

In case I have an inappropriate and impolite behavior, my head will move.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Tong was stunned and didn't know what to think, so he reached out and patted Zhu Tong's shoulder and said with a smile:

"What do you want? We haven't heard you talk about salt making yet, so let's talk while we eat! ”

As he spoke, he pulled Zhu Tong out of Qianning Palace, and Queen Ma also followed closely behind, not daring to take a slight step, Zhu Biao turned sideways to lead the way.

formed a strange picture, so the palace guards and eunuchs all turned around from time to time to secretly glance at a few times, and looked at Zhu Tong and several eunuchs in disbelief and discussed softly.

"I heard that this Lang Zhong is the doctor who healed the queen's mother!"

"I know, legend has it that this Langzhong is very godly, so many ministers respect him!"

"Your Majesty has never been so happy, this little Langjun really has the ability to make Your Majesty happy like this!"

"Not only Your Majesty, the crown prince, the queen mother, the Duke of Xinguo, and the Duke of Wei are all very good to him."

Zhu Tong accompanied Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang and others to the Jiaotai Palace,

Jiaotai Palace,

One of the deepest palaces of the Imperial Palace, which is usually rarely visited and is only noticed when some banquets are held, is particularly remarkable today.

Zhu Tong followed Zhu Biao and others into the hall.

All the maids stood on both sides with serious expressions, not daring to make a sound.

When Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the palace, everyone's eyes were projected on him, behind him were Queen Ma, Zhu Tong, Zhu Biao and others, looking at the most powerful people in the palace, their eyes showed a trace of envy.

However, the most bizarre scene was that there was a mixed one among the three people, Lang Zhong who was dressed ordinarily and had a low status, and everyone couldn't help but lock their eyes on this Lang Zhong.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, they didn't expect that the royal family banquet would invite this Lang Zhong to participate, but he has no real blood relationship with all the royal family members, how could His Majesty invite such an outsider to participate?

Queen Ma held Zhu Tong's hand tightly, for fear that he would be a little scared and uncomfortable, if he made a fool of himself in front of everyone, then the resistance to his establishment as the prince in the future would increase, let alone subdue those gentlemen.

Therefore, Queen Ma turned her head to look at Zhu Tong from time to time.

At this time, Zhu Tong seemed to be a different person, he was still reluctant at first, thinking that he was afraid of stage fright, but now he didn't see any fear at all, but a confident face.

is very generous, and her aura is not inferior to that of the prince or even more magnanimous than Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma finally let go of Zhu Tong's heart when she saw this.

Under Zhu Biao's arrangement, Zhu Tong sat between Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang moved the chopsticks, everyone began to eat intermittently, and the eunuchs looked at Zhu Yuanzhang while serving, unusually restrained, and looked at Zhu Tong from time to time, with an indescribable meaning in their eyes.

Zhu Tong picked up the bowl according to the rules, and was just about to move the chopsticks, Queen Ma put a piece of meat in Zhu Tong's bowl, Zhu Tong raised his head slightly, and saw Queen Ma staring at him with a kind face.

"Big brother, I respect you!"

Zhu Tong was instantly stunned, his eyes looked straight at Zhu Biao's wine glass, and he kept roaring in his heart:

"I'll go, the prince toasts me? What does that mean? You don't really think of me as a big brother, do you? ”

Just when Zhu Tong was hesitating, Zhu Yuanzhang gently touched Zhu Tong with his elbow, and Zhu Tong sat up from the chair with a wine glass as if by a conditioned reflex.

"Your Highness is gracious!"

Zhu Biao and Zhu Tong finished drinking, and just sat down, Zhu Tong's mind turned instantly, this Zhu Biao toasted for no reason, fortunately, it is in the past, then Zhu Yuanzhang personally toasted after a while, and he really couldn't deal with it.

It's better for me to strike first......

After a while, Zhu Tong picked up the wine glass he put down and poured it full of wine, and said respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, the grass people respect you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised that this child had never been so active, why did he suddenly change today, but this made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy, his whole face was happy, and then he picked up the bowl and said:

"Gentlemen, change the bowl!"

Zhu Tong immediately changed to a bowl, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he said happily:

"This old man is casual! I'll have one with you today! ”

'Bang! The two of them raised their heads and swallowed, and even the frequency of the fluttering of the Adam's apple was surprisingly similar, and Queen Ma looked at the warmth in her heart.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Tong's face was slightly red, and he kept talking with Zhu Yuanzhang about what method of making salt.

Zhu Yuanzhang also became interested and began to take the opportunity to test Zhu Tong's knowledge, and what principles of using troops and governing the country were introduced from salt making.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Tong, his heart was much more relaxed, thinking that soon his burden would be handed over to the imperial brother, and suddenly he saluted his father and Zhu Tong five or six glasses of wine in a row.

Seeing that her son had already completely let down his guard, Queen Ma asked softly:

"Tong'er, I heard that you haven't had a marriage match yet, so do you have any favorite girl?"

Zhu Tong heard Queen Ma ask him about marriage, but he didn't know that Queen Ma was going to arrange a marriage for him.

Looking at the kindness on Queen Ma's face, Zhu Tong couldn't help but say:

"Not yet, but I don't have time to talk about marriage right now."

Saying that, Zhu Tong scratched his head embarrassedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and the three of them glanced at each other, and they began to plan a marriage for Zhu Tong in their hearts.

After a while, the family banquet ended, and Zhu Biao enthusiastically sent Zhu Tong out of the palace, which made others feel very puzzled.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma watched Zhu Tong leave and discussed Zhu Tong's marriage, and Zhu Yuanzhang first thought of his two righteous brothers, Xu Da and Tang He.

So he consulted with Queen Ma and said:

"Sister, is there a girl in Xu Da's family who is the same age as our Tong'er?"

Queen Ma smiled and replied: "What is the name of a female baby, Miaoyun!" That's right, it's called Miaoyun. ”

"Tang He's Yan Ke girl is also good, she is knowledgeable, why don't you let Tong'er see it?"
