As soon as the news of the reduction of grain tax and commercial tax was released, the people who were already celebrating became even happier, which was really good.

Today's Yunzhou Army is still a wartime mechanism, although the remaining food can already feed the whole family.

But who in the world thinks that their family has more food?

The businessmen thought the same way.

The carnival is even more enthusiastic!

……

Bianjing, the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou County is eight hundred miles in an emergency!"

Zhao Duan, who had just come down from the morning court, had just returned to Funing Palace when he saw Cao Shuang running in with a letter on his face.

Zhao Duan was in a hurry for 800 miles a day, and suddenly his heart was sudden, what happened to this Yunzhou County? Actually used 800 miles to expedite the level?

However, when he took the letter and opened it, the solemnity on his face suddenly melted into the invisible like the snow in early spring, and a bright smile was revealed!

The sixth family is actually pregnant!

Although I don't know if it's a man or a woman, just being pregnant has put the sixth child ahead of the others, and I finally have the hope of seeing my grandchildren!

Thinking of this, Zhao Duandang couldn't help it, and immediately greeted Cao Shuang and said, "Cao Shuang!" ”

"Your Majesty! The slave is here! ”

Cao Shuang hurriedly stood up, but he who knew Zhao Duan had faintly guessed the other party's thoughts.

Sure enough, Zhao Duan directly ordered: "Go quickly, call the queen, the crown prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, as well as the great Zongzheng and the king of Zhenxi, by the way, all the princes, as long as they are married, they must all bring their families!"

This evening, I'm going to hold a royal family banquet in Jiying Palace! Just go! ”

Cao Shuang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hesitated for a moment before asking with some uncertainty: "Your Majesty, do you mean that you are in Jiying Palace?" ”

Zhao Duan's eyes widened: "Why can't you?" For such a major event, can I use the Jiying Hall to hold a family banquet? ”

Cao Shuang hurriedly shook his head, how could it not work, this big Song is all yours, and you can hold a family banquet wherever you want.

Cao Shuang hurriedly responded:

"Slaves obey!"

No wonder Cao Shuang hesitated, there were three levels of banquets in the Great Song Palace.

They are the first-level feast, the second-level feast and the third-level feast.

Among them, the first-level banquet was held in the Jiying Palace, the second-level banquet was held in the Zichen Palace, and the third-level small banquet was held in the Vertical Arch Palace.

In the past, only important envoys were invited to banquets, and major banquets such as the annual banquet of the hundred officials would be held in the Jiying Palace.

Now that a family banquet has been arranged in Jiying Hall, Cao Shuang was really shocked, but it can also be seen how happy the saint is now.

Cao Shuang left in response, and Zhao Duan still couldn't control the excitement in his heart after he left, and walked back and forth in Funing Palace excitedly, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Soon, in the evening, the news that the emperor was going to hold a family banquet in the Jiying Hall spread all over the foreign courts, especially the requirement that every prince must bring his own family members, this edict seemed reasonable, but it seemed strange to emphasize it.

The Five Princes' Mansion.

Zhao Sheng was discussing this matter with the strategist, but he couldn't come up with a reason for the discussion.

In the end, the fifth prince simply said: "No matter what the father and emperor think?" It's a big deal that our soldiers are coming to block, and the water is coming to cover the earth, and I have not yet married among the brothers, and my father specially explained that he wanted to bring his family, so I should not be involved. ”

After hearing this, the strategist also nodded in agreement: "What the fifth prince said is extreme, just go to the meeting normally." ”

The fifth prince is rotten, and the husband and wife of Zhao Ji and Meng Yuru on the side of the fourth prince are also puzzled.

"Imperial Princess, what do you mean by Father? Why is it specifically emphasized that you must bring your family? ”

Zhao Ji couldn't figure out how to think about it, so he simply threw the problem directly to his daughter-in-law, which is also his usual practice, and he has lived like this all these years.

Meng Yuru rolled her eyes when she heard this, knowing that he was lazy, but she didn't say anything, and after thinking for a while, she also shook her head:

"There is too little information in my hands to judge.

However, the father called the king of Zhenxi and the great sect this time, presumably the matter involved should be related to the clan. ”

"So how do we do that?"

"So how do we do that?"

Zhao Ji asked.

"Do nothing."

"Nothing?"

"That's right! Do nothing! ”

Meng Yuru nodded affirmatively, and then said:

"When the enemy situation is not known, it should be the same as the change.

Now we don't know what the situation is, and it may be self-defeating to make rash moves, so it's better to do nothing, and wait until we understand the situation and see what the situation is, and then we will make corresponding arrangements. ”

"Good!"

Zhao Ji was obedient as always, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he nodded and agreed.

Compared with their guesswork, Da Zongzheng and King Zhenxi did not have the slightest pressure, and immediately began to prepare after receiving the news.

They are all elders in the royal family, and they can't calculate anything on their heads, at most they just be a witness, so they have nothing to worry about.

As soon as the prince received the news, the queen had already hurried over.

"Can my son receive an invitation to your father's palace banquet?"

As soon as the queen came, she couldn't wait to ask.

The prince nodded calmly and replied, "Grandpa Cao just left." ”

The queen found a seat and sat down, and then asked worriedly, "What does your father mean by this?" Why do you have to bring your family with you? He also called Da Zongzheng and the king of Zhenxi? ”

Zhao Ming shook his head: "Erchen doesn't know, but I think my father must have his own intentions." ”

"Hey! Don't make it clear, your father is really the emperor! ”

The queen couldn't help complaining, but Zhao Ming just drank tea silently and didn't say a word.

The queen glanced at him, and then said, "Then the queen mother will go with you later?" ”

Zhao Ming glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Is the queen mother willing to see Qingning?" ”

The queen's face froze suddenly.

Li Qingning is the crown prince's current concubine, and his father is Li Wen, the Duke of Ningguo, and he is the eldest lady of the Duke of Ningguo.

Originally, the queen was still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but since she married the prince to now, it has been ten years, but she has not come out, the queen has always looked down on her, and now she doesn't even want to look at her on weekdays.

During this period, the queen did not let the prince accept another side concubine, but the prince was unwilling, and the husband and wife respected each other like guests and had a very good relationship, but they never came out.

This also makes the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been bad, mainly the queen to the crown princess.

Now when this topic is mentioned, the queen's face froze.

I was stunned for a long time, thinking that I hadn't eaten with my son for a long time, so I could only endure the reluctance in my heart and nodded: "Okay!" ”

The corners of the prince's mouth curled slightly, and then he called his subordinates to ask them to call the princess to come.

The palace banquet starts at four o'clock, when the palace lights are on, the Jiying Hall is brightly lit, all kinds of delicacies are put on the table, and there are all kinds of wine and juice.

Singing and dancing have been performed since the beginning of the unitary period.

And tonight's guests are starting to arrive one after another.

Until six o'clock in the unitary hour, all the invitees arrived at the Jiying Palace.

The protagonist of today's family banquet, Zhao Duancai belatedly arrived with a smile like a spring breeze......
