Volume 3: Hundred Tempered into Steel Chapter 162: Likeness
When Zhu Qizhen came to Renshou Palace, Queen Qian Jinluan led the concubines in the harem to wait here, and Empress Dowager Sun changed her silent appearance and hugged his third son Zhu Jianxiang, making fun of Sun's beauty.
The eldest son Zhu Jianshen and the second son Zhu Jianyan can walk, chattering on the ground, followed by a few heartbroken palace people.
Seeing Zhu Qizhen coming, all the wives and children greeted each other and called him Your Majesty.
Who doesn't like a happy and neat family? Zhu Qizhen's unsubsided anger disappeared in an instant, and the little girl holding her eldest daughter, Princess Chongqing, giggled wildly.
Empress Dowager Sun's smile stiffened for a moment and returned to normal, and she said to Li Yongchang with a smile: "Pass the meal." ”
At the beginning of a big banquet, Empress Dowager Sun sat on the main seat, and Zhu Qizhen took a kind of concubine to sit down separately, and the emperor naturally ranked first.
The Queen Mother gave a head, and then everyone said an auspicious word, what Queen Mother is blessed, Long live the Emperor and so on, of course, everyone here is well-educated, and they must speak more elegantly than the vernacular.
This meal was eaten until late at night, and the one who ate it was a happy Hemeimei, Zhu Qizhen and Empress Dowager Sun seemed to have forgotten what happened in Daxinglong Temple in the morning, and they tacitly kept silent.
"Jin Ying, these dishes that have not been touched will be rewarded, and the fish, right and that, will be sent to Yu Qian." Zhu Qizhen looked at the audience and commanded.
The emperor's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a waste in addition to luxury, an average person eats dozens of dishes, and it is good to meet those who love to eat, and those who do not like to eat or the dishes are late is really not to eat, so they give the courtiers to deepen their feelings.
Originally, I mostly did this in the Qianqing Palace, this was not just to make the Queen Mother angry, as a compensation, it was specially arranged in Renshou Palace, and the effect seemed to be okay.
After the matter was done, the Queen Mother had been waiting for Zhu Qizhen in the palace for a long time.
"The son is not filial, so let the queen mother wait for a long time." Zhu Qizhen knelt on the ground when he entered the house, and he could probably guess what Empress Dowager Sun was waiting for him.
"Emperor, get up, you come, sit next to the mourning family, our mother and son haven't spoken properly for a long time." Empress Dowager Sun patted the mattress and said.
Zhu Qizhen sat down and was grabbed by the Empress Dowager Sun, only to find that there were so many wrinkles on the Empress Dowager Sun's face.
Empress Dowager Sun quietly watched her son, who had grown up and was already a qualified emperor.
"I've had a mess all my life, and the only luck is that I was liked by your father and gave birth to you, which is the pride of my life." Empress Dowager Sun spoke slowly.

"Queen Mother, I ......" Zhu Qizhen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Empress Dowager Sun.
"Emperor, you have grown up, my old bones are of this use, since your father gave you a notice, just do what he wants, go, the mourning family is tired." Empress Dowager Sun patted Zhu Qizhen on the back.
"Queen Mother......" Zhu Qizhen looked at the Empress Dowager Sun, and the face with a sad expression in her calm made Zhu Qizhen almost unable to help herself.
"The retainers retired." Finally, Zhu Qizhen still didn't say anything and silently withdrew from the dormitory.
After Zhu Qizhen left, Empress Dowager Sun's tears couldn't help but spill, wetting the porcelain pillow, and the tears soaked the porcelain pillow and it was cold.
Li Yongchang appeared in the dormitory, sighed and persuaded: "Queen Mother, the emperor is also doing this for your peace of mind, just so that you will no longer be troubled by nightmares, you must not hurt the phoenix body because of this." ”
Empress Dowager Sun said in a louder voice: "What if the mourning family knows? As soon as this will comes out, who in the world does not say that the mourning family is wrong?
The mourning family is about to enter the ground, and there is nothing that cannot be seen. I only hope that the emperor will live up to the wishes of the mourning family and be a good emperor, and I will have an explanation when I go down to see his father. ”
Zhu Qizhen walked in the cold palace with his arm in his arms, looking a little miserable, Jin Ying followed Zhu Qizhen step by step, wanting to speak, but Zhu Qizhen, who was afraid of provoking, was even more unhappy.
"Am I really wrong?"
Jin Ying suddenly listened to the question, raised his head and found that Zhu Qizhen was just talking to himself, so he looked at his toes again.
In the courtyard of Cao Mansion on Chang'an East Street, Cao Nai was eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family, saying that he was eating, but in fact, the food was already cold and had not moved, and the children were hungry and could only wait.
"Master, the emperor's favor has arrived." The butler panted and ran in and said.
Cao Nai stood up, led his family to the courtyard and knelt down and said, "Cao Nai, welcome the angel!" ”
It was a little eunuch who came, and said with a bright smile on his face: "Lord Cao, please get up, the emperor understands your hard work, and gives you a special imperial banquet." ”
"Thank you, Emperor Longen! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Cao Nai said excitedly.
After sending off the internal officials, Cao Nai's family returned to the dining table, opened the exquisite imperial food box, and the first dish was a herring fish, which was burned red, and people were happy to see it.
Then open the second layer, a huge braised pork knuckle appeared, the skin was roasted, the soup on the plate was intact, and the aroma was fragrant.
Son Cao

Seeing that Cao Nai still didn't speak, he asked: "Dad, the emperor's reward has arrived, hurry up and eat, the children are hungry." ”
Cao Nai exhaled, not very interested: "Eat, eat." ”
The children showed excited expressions when they heard this, looked at the big fish and meat on the table and swallowed them uncontrollably, and begged their mothers to serve them vegetables.
Cao Nai didn't speak, drinking alone and drinking, Cao En saw this and asked: "Eat, Dad, the emperor specially rewarded you, but you don't eat it." ”
Cao Naimulan said: "In previous years, it was all carp, why is it a herring this year?" Is the emperor really disgusted with me? ”
Then he felt that he shouldn't have said these things in front of his family, so he immediately stopped talking and severely reprimanded Cao Endao:
"Eat your meal well, take the children to rest after eating, such a big person, I can't even pass the Jinshi exam, why did I give birth to such a son as you?"
Cao En was not surprised, and gaged: "Dad, there is green smoke on our ancestral grave, and you are such a champion, I will definitely not have this blessing, with your blessing, my son and I will be satisfied with food and clothing!" ”
"You rebel! It's never uncomfortable for you to read, it's that uncomfortable, you don't work hard for a day, and you still complain about your ancestors? Cao Nai drank wine and blew his beard and glared.
Cao En smiled and said, "Aren't you studying hard to let your children and grandchildren live a worry-free life?"
My son won't make trouble for you like those noble children, and your son won't be able to serve the court. ”
Cao Nai stared at his stomach, and after a while, he lost his color as if he was fated, and he just lowered his head and drank, sighing heavily for a long time.
"Cao En, you come with me." Cao Nai commanded, and the father and son came to the courtyard one after the other.
Seeing this, Mrs. Cao didn't dare to stop her, but just shouted: "Don't do it, master!" ”
"Cao En, Dad doesn't dislike you for being unproductive, you're right, you've never made any trouble for me, an old man, I've been sensible since I was a child, but I just don't like to read.
Dad also thought about it, I will ask you for a favor in the future, find a quiet yamen to stay, our emperor, it is really not easy to serve, and it is becoming more and more like a person. Cao Nai looked up, and the sky was full of stars.
Cao En asked cautiously, "Like whom?" I felt that I had asked too much, so I hurriedly added, "If you don't want to say it, I didn't ask, and I shouldn't worry about it." ”
Cao Nai was unusual, and said seriously: "Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang." ”
