Zhang Chu and his party lowered their horse speed and came to Zhao Xu.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhao Xu asked in a low voice.

"King Ning has done a great thing!"

Zhang Chu looked at Zhao Xu, coughed lightly, and his face was solemn.

"In the spirit of the Holy Command, Zhao Xu, the king of Ning, quickly entered the Kunning Palace to see him! Don't be lazy! ”

Zhang Chu's voice, with the blessing of true qi, resounded in everyone's ears.

Whether it was the soldiers of the Beijing camp or the onlookers, they all heard his voice.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Ning to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, I thought it was a disciple of the general, or a general of the Beijing camp!"

Among the onlookers, a young man in a brocade robe muttered.

"However, this King Ning is the younger brother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After this battle, the prestige of the prince's side has risen greatly! ”

"His Royal Highness King Ning is so young?"

Above the attic, a young girl looked at the handsome young man on the horse, and each showed a look of surprise.

"This King Ning is the third son of His Majesty, and he has just returned from the Qi Kingdom, and he was crowned king by His Majesty, which shows the weight in His Majesty's heart."

At such a young age, he can eradicate bandits, and he is capable.

Moreover, this one is still a real prince, and his future is limitless.

For a while, the girls in the attic had different thoughts in their hearts......

As for what others think, Zhao Xu doesn't care now, he kicks the horse's belly lightly, and the horse under his crotch takes him to Zhang Chu.

"Mr. Zhang."

For this chief chamberlain who was deeply trusted by his father, Zhao Xu was about to bow his hand, but was stopped by the other party who stretched out his hand and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Ning, don't be polite, Your Majesty and the Empress are waiting for you in Qianning Palace, it is better to enter the palace quickly!" ”

Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Chu's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

The third prince has experienced three years of tempering in the Qi Kingdom, and now he has returned to the country, which is different from the past.

According to the report from the spies under his command, this one was on the way to suppress the bandits, but he did not rely on his status as a prince and regarded himself as a special member, but led a small number of troops and went straight to the thieves' lair alone.

This courage alone is rare at his age.

Zhao Xu saw Zhang Chu urging like this, so he didn't say anything more, turned his head and explained a few words to Gao Yi, asked him to lead the troops back to the camp, Lin Wu and the others led the palace guards back to the house, and asked Nie Yang to express his gratitude to the prince on his behalf, and then looked at Zhang Chu.

"Mr. Zhang, please!"

"His Royal Highness King Ning, please!"

Zhang Chu said with a smile.

Surrounded by a group of forbidden troops, the two headed towards the palace.

"Mr. Zhang, on the way back, this king met a team of envoys from Yunguo who came to celebrate his birthday, and there was also a monk among them."

On the way, Zhao Xu said to Zhang Chu.

When Zhang Chu heard this, he sighed lightly and said:

"King Ning knows that the envoys of Burma and Qi have also arrived in Shenjing. Not only that, but there were also monks from the Four Pillars Temple and the Great Bodhi Temple. ”

Zhao Xu was shocked in his heart and said:

"The people from the three Dharma Sects of Buddhism are here?"

Among the Buddhism, it is divided into two factions, the one that entered the WTO, there are three major sects, namely the Four Pillars Temple, the Golden Wheel Sect and the Great Bodhi Temple, which are the leaders of the Buddhism of Burma, Yun and Qi, and are called the Three Dharma Sects.

Speaking of the three sects of Buddhism, Zhang Chu's face showed a faint sadness.

"Yes, it's not good! I really don't know, this group of bald donkeys came to Shenjing at this time, did they really celebrate His Majesty's birthday, or were they ready to cause trouble? ”

The two dynasties of Taizu Taizong of Great Chu expelled all the forces of Buddhism from the south of the Yangtze River, destroyed the Buddha and smashed the temple, and the Buddhism can be said to be incompatible.

Now that Emperor Chu is fiftieth birthday, this group of monks came to Shenjing with the envoys, saying that they were not looking for faults...... Who believes!

Kunning Palace.

Zhao Heng and Queen Song were talking, and suddenly an attendant came to report, saying that Mr. Zhang and King Ning had entered the palace and were waiting outside the Kunning Palace.

"This Zhang Chu is also right, just lead the third child in, why do you still let people pass it on?"

Letting the two of them enter the hall, Zhao Heng shook his head helplessly, and said:

"He's just too cautious!"

Empress Song pursed her lips and chuckled, and said:

"Your Majesty is the emperor, and you can do whatever you want, but Mr. Zhang knows that Your Majesty is benevolent and does not want to cause trouble to Your Majesty, which is also a loyal act."

While speaking, Zhang Chu led Zhao Xu into the store.

"Erchen has seen his father and mother!"

Zhao Xu saluted Zhao Heng and Empress Song respectively, and then sat down beside Empress Song.

"Xu'er, your father is very happy when he sees the good news. You've given him a long face. ”

Queen Song took Zhao Xu's hand and said with a smile.

"Thanks to the blessing of my father, my sons can fight and eliminate the thieves."

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Zhao Heng shook his head with a smile, pointed at him and said:

"You're going to fool me with these decent words!"

As soon as these words came out, Queen Song couldn't help laughing and complained:

"Your Majesty, you are also the king of a country, why are you still worried about your own children?"

After that, he turned his head and said to the palace maid standing aside:

"Tell the kitchenette to let them bring all the food!"

After explaining to the palace maid, she turned her head to Zhao Xu and said:

"Your father, you want to save some silver, no, you will open the celebration banquet to the Kunning Palace in the main palace! But it's okay, Xu'er just happened to try the craftsmanship here. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Emperor Dachu with those phoenix eyes like Dan lacquer.

Zhao Heng, who felt a little unreasonable, touched his nose and did not speak.

In this room, the palace maids brought all kinds of dishes like flowing water.

Zhao Heng and Empress Song sat on the upper seat, and Zhao Xu sat below.

"Bengong remembers, when Xu Er was young, he liked to eat this pill broke the most, you try it, the imperial kitchen of Bengong small kitchen made it, can it have the flavor of your childhood?"

Empress Song said, picked up a pellet-sized ball from the white jade porcelain plate, and put it in Zhao Xu's bowl.

Jumping pill scorching is a famous dish of Chu State, is to ten catties of pork and mutton, cut into thin strips, add three liters of ginger, five leaves of orange peel, two liters of pickled melon, five liters of green onion white, stir together after pounding, knead into the shape of a projectile, take another five catties of mutton to make meat soup, put the kneading meatballs into it, and cook it.

It's just that his father, Zhao Heng, has always advocated frugality, and he doesn't spend much in the palace, although he likes it very much, he can't eat it a few times a year.

Zhao Xu held a spoon in one hand and a bowl in the other, picked up the meatballs in the bowl, put them in his mouth and took a bite gently, only to feel that the meatballs were delicious, full of elasticity, and his lips and teeth were fragrant, so he couldn't help nodding again and again.

"The queen mother is the taste of childhood."

Seeing Zhao Xu nodding, Queen Song smiled at the corner of her mouth, her face became more and more happy, a pair of phoenix eyes bent into two hooked crescents, and said softly:

"When your Naning Royal Mansion is completed, the palace will let the royal chef go to you for a few days and bring the chefs of the royal mansion."

Zhao Xu put down his chopsticks and thanked him softly.

The three of them were eating dinner and gossiping, and when the lights outside the palace gradually turned on, the celebration banquet was almost over.

After the father and son rinsed their mouths and washed their hands, Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Xu and said:

"Xu'er, go, accompany me in the palace."
