Chapter 997: Hundred Days Palace Banquet 1
"Is this true?"
Ripple pretended to be surprised.
"Naturally, it's true, the Ministry of Rites will draw up the guest list in the past two days."
The prince said with a smile.
"Your Highness, if you had said it earlier, the concubine would have sent a letter to the family, so that they could also come to the 100-day banquet for the three children, since the child was born, the concubine's family only got a letter, and they haven't seen the children yet!"
Ripple said with some resentment.
"Ripples, don't worry, I've taken all of these into consideration, because at that time, I wasn't sure if your body could be cultivated, and I couldn't let your relatives see a sick you, wouldn't they be more worried.
Now that you look better and can take care of the child yourself, I have the idea of holding a 100-day banquet for the child.
If you send a letter to your family now, it doesn't matter if you don't make it to the 100-day feast, you should be here to visit you. ”
The prince looked like I was thinking about you, and patiently explained.
"Thank you Your Highness for sympathizing with the pain of the concubine and homesickness, since the concubine had a child, she can better understand the mother's difficulty, so I am more and more grateful to my parents for raising me."
Ripple left the prince's embrace, bowed in a proper manner, and said half-truths with red eyes.
"Okay, this is a good thing, why did it make you red-eyed, you are a mother, you can't drop the golden bean, the children will laugh at you."
The prince smiled and coaxed Ripples, and a few words made Ripples smile, and the two of them grinded their ears and temples for a while, and Ripples led the prince to see the three treasures.
On the third day after the crown prince told Ripples, the Ministry of Rites in the palace sent a post to the families of officials above the fourth rank in the imperial city, and six days later, a 100-day banquet for the three imperial grandsons was held in the palace.
The second prince and the third prince got together at this time, pinching the post in their hands, a fine light flashed in their eyes, it really didn't take any effort to get it, and they were worried that they couldn't find a valid reason to enter the palace, and now the perfect opportunity was sent to the door.
"Let's let him be stunned for a few days, and when he loses his child and loses that position, we'll see who is the final winner."
The second prince said gloomily.
The third prince on the side didn't answer, just pointed at the post in front of him with his finger, thoughtful.
The two joined forces just to bring down the common enemy of the prince, and as for who can sit in that position after the prince falls, it is a later story.
The two of them had their own thoughts, but they both began to arrange their own manpower, and as the 100-day banquet approached, the palace and the palace were lively.
General Meng, who was far away in the border city, didn't know what expression to put on when he learned that his "daughter" gave birth to three children to the prince, although the "daughter" was once dying, but finally broke through the ghost gate for the child, and now it is also counted as having a place in the palace.
After that, it was about the invitation to the 100-day banquet, and the messenger relayed the words of Ripple:
"The daughter misses her parents very much, she knows that her father can't leave the border guard, and her mother's body can't withstand the bumps, if you can let the second brother come to the imperial city to visit her daughter, you don't have to rush too much, just arrive before the autumn."
After General Meng and his wife heard the message, they called the person who sent the letter to go to rest first, and then the two looked at the letter, and then General Meng found that there was something in the letter.
Although this letter is full of ripples telling about the hardships of his production and his longing for his family, the second word in these sentences of different lengths is connected together: "The imperial city has changed, prepare early!" ”
General Meng could think of a change, naturally the throne changed, he walked around the study twice before he said to his wife:
"Let Shen'er go to the Imperial City and bring a team of 100 people, we must have first-hand information."
"Husband, this is a royal battle, not something we can participate in."
Mrs. Meng frowned.
"It's not like we won't participate now, after all, our 'daughter' is married to the prince, and if the prince really can't control the overall situation, it will inevitably affect us, so we must be prepared."
"She's not our daughter, it's time to give up!"
Mrs. Meng said very simply.
This woman bears her daughter's name and enjoys the treatment that her daughter should enjoy, and in the end, their Meng family has to cover for each other, which she doesn't want to see.
"Madam is confused, even if you want to give it up, you must be fully prepared, otherwise we are guilty of bullying the king, and the royal family will definitely hold our Meng family responsible, and there is just an excuse to take back the military power in my hands.
Madame was born in the imperial city, you should know better than me, if the Meng family loses its military power, it is a tiger with teeth extracted, and the emperor can deal with us at any time, even if my Meng family has never rebelled, but it is our sin to be high-credited.
Since the Qiang Wolf Clan was pressed down, the emperor has begun to reuse civilian officials in recent years to restrain the promotion of military generals, do you think I don't want to completely eliminate the Qiang Wolf Clan and return to the field?
It was the emperor's refusal to make an order, and the purpose was to let the Qiang Wolf clan contain the old man and contain the Meng family's army. ”
General Meng sighed, sat down in his chair, and told her what he was unwilling to tell his wife before.
"This"
Mrs. Meng was also a little surprised, she didn't expect that it was so deeply involved.
"That's it, one wrong step and one wrong step, since we started it, there is no turning back, husband looks at the arrangement."
Mrs. Meng waved her hand and left the study.
General Meng was silent for a long time and called his second son to the study.
"Shen'er, tomorrow you will take an elite team of 100 people to disperse to the Imperial City, and you will leave 20 people by your side, and go to the Imperial City to participate in the 100-day banquet of the three emperors and grandchildren, and visit your little sister by the way."
General Meng commanded.
"But has the Imperial City changed?"
"Yes, Ripples has sent news back, you have to be careful."
"My son knows."
That night, Meng Guangshen left the border city with people.
On the day of the 100-day banquet, after Ripple dressed up and dressed himself carefully, he took his three children to Fengqi Palace to greet the queen first.
The queen smiled and looked at the ripples that were becoming more and more delicate like flowers, her eyes flashed, and after praising her, she gave gifts to the three children, and then asked the ripples to take the three children to the palace banquet hall to rest, and the guests of the banquet arrived in a while.
The three children have to show their faces in front of the guests, so that the task of the ripples is completed, and then she will take the children back to the East Palace.
The royal child is precious, and Ripples is going through the motions with the child.
When Ripple entered the palace banquet with the three children, the emperor hugged the children one by one and gave names to his three grandchildren, and everyone in the audience congratulated them one after another.
The three babies were quite cooperative, and they accepted everyone's scrutiny with a smile, and exhaled the saliva on the emperor's face, and then they were taken away by the grandmothers.
Out of the main hall where the palace banquet was located, Ripple immediately asked everyone to speed up their pace and return to the East Palace.
In the urging of the ripples, the group almost trotted back to the East Palace.
"Locked!"
After Ripple entered the East Palace, he gave the first order.
The eunuch, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, was not surprised to hear Ripple's order, but just waved his hand to let the people around him close the door, while he was guarding the main hall.
Ripple took the three children into the dormitory, and this time despite the opposition of the three grandmothers, he strongly kept the children by his side.
Treasures, see you tomorrow~
