Chapter 267: Step on the right foot first
In the midst of singing praises, the banquet continued.
But after the emperor's generous speech, the atmosphere of the scene has changed.
Although there was such a big melon tonight, none of the civil and military officials present discussed it, and they didn't even say a few words to avoid suspicion.
Only those foreign envoys were discussing in a low voice what was going on tonight, and they didn't have as many scruples as the courtiers.
Above His Majesty, Emperor Zhu Xinkan has returned to the dragon chair, and Zhu Xianming is also waiting for him as closely.
On the other side, the queen also held a banquet in Chonghua Palace to meet with senior women above the third grade in Beijing.
As the Duchess of the Kingdom, Mother Jia was also invited, but she was far away from the queen, and was only within three zhang during the routine toast.
At this moment, she was in pain in her heart, far away in the corner of the courtyard, looking intently at Baochai who was serving close on the royal steps.
"Niangniang, the princess is short of a book, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep it empty......"
In this way, Yang Qingyin has heard it many times in the past two days, and the senior wives who came to the palace to meet her all wanted to stuff their daughters into the palace.
The person who said this in front of me was the lady of the Bowling Hou, Gao, who was most concerned about it, and she had been bothering to run since the beginning when she chose to study.
On top of the phoenix seat, Yang Qingyin looked at the two people standing in front of him, and asked with a smile: "As far as I know, among the juniors of your family...... The oldest girl is only twelve, right? ”
"Qi Yu Niangniang, although the girl in the courtier's family is only twelve, she is already full of poetry and books, etiquette and etiquette, and it is really suitable to send her into the palace to be a playmate for Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
This is said very bluntly, but it is said by the Lu family, the wife of the Marquis of Zhongjing, that the two of them are also out of the way in order for Xiangyun to enter the palace.
Immediately afterwards, Gao said: "Niangniang, what Mrs. Zhongjing Hou said is true, Xiangyun's girl ......."
Seeing that the two of them cooperated tacitly, Yang Qingyin raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then said, "It's okay...... You are so hard-hearted, find a day...... Bring it in and let me see! ”
Although the queen did not directly agree, with such progress today, the two historians were also satisfied.
In the eyes of the two of them, as long as Xiangyun is sent to the queen to show his face, he may not have other opportunities in the future to leave a good impression.
To be honest, for the sake of this hard-working niece, the two aunts really worked hard.
After the two of them retreated from the imperial steps, Chen Zhi, who had a seat above His Majesty, finally couldn't help but speak: "Speaking of this waiter, the daughter-in-law's cousin is also suitable, why don't you also bring it to you and take a look?" ”
"Your cousin, I know, is a little more sassy...... Forget it! ”
"Yes!"
After answering this sentence, Chen Zhi looked up and saw Yuan Chun looking at him with a smile, and anger suddenly appeared in his heart.
But at this moment, Chen Zhi didn't dare to come out, but looked at Yuan Chun sternly.
Who knew that Yuan Chun no longer looked at her, but picked up the wine glass and said to Princess Guangyang beside him: "Come on...... Let's have a drink! ”
Yuan Chun came on behalf of the East Palace, and this glass of wine was extremely heavy, and Princess Guangyang dared to refuse.
Not wanting to pay attention to the commotion of her daughter-in-law, Yang Qingyin turned her head to look at her niece beside her and asked, "Ting girl, Your Majesty and I will check my homework in a few days, and you and Bao Yatou should be more careful!" ”
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunsheng, who was playing with the golden melon seeds, felt that the things in his hands were not fragrant.
As time went by, the banquet in the harem of the former dynasty finally came to an end, and the courtiers ordered the women to withdraw one after another after paying homage.
Yang Qingyin has not been in good health, and she returned to the dormitory after the banquet, and the concubines in the harem also left separately.
And Yuanchun Chen Zhi and other royal daughters-in-law, surrounded by a group of high-ranking wives, slowly walked outside the palace gate.
When the queen returned to the palace and took off her court robe, there was a message outside that the emperor was coming.
After a few breaths, he saw the emperor enter the palace with a serious expression, and at the same time ordered the eunuchs and palace maids who served to go out.
"Say it...... How's it going? Yang Qingyin sat on the soft couch and picked up the hand stove.
Sitting opposite the queen, Zhu Xianming said calmly: "The old man said what I wanted!" ”
Nodding, Yang Qingyin replied: "This is a good thing, your father and son have reconciled, and you will sleep more steadily in the future!" ”
Lifting the teapot on the table, Zhu Xianming filled a cup for the queen, and then began to mix tea for himself.
"Tell me...... What is the old man's plan? Could it be that people have changed their hearts when they get old, just to leave a way back for those people? ”
"Do you still have doubts?"
After taking a sip of hot tea, Zhu Xianming's eyes were solemn: "Except for you...... I don't believe anyone! ”
"Thank you a lot, but how do you know, I didn't lie to you!" Yang Qingyin asked with a smile.
Putting down the teacup, Zhu Xianming stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Then how do you know that you must have deceived me?" ”
When the old couple was in a short relationship, they heard the noise outside.
"Thirteenth Master, including Your Majesty, you must not trespass!"
"Huh? Forget it, I'm leaving! ”
Hearing the voice outside, Zhu Xianming muttered, "It's so late, what is this kid doing here?" ”
"Maybe there's something going on!" Yang Qingyin's tone was flat.
So Zhu Xianming shouted outside: "Let the old thirteen come in!" ”
Zhu Jinghong, who originally wanted to leave, was invited back by the eunuchs before he ran out of Kunning Gate.
"Dad, why are you there!" After entering the door, Zhu Jinghong asked first.
He thought that the emperor would stay in Ningshou Palace for a long time, after all, the filial piety of the father and son was too enthusiastic just now, so how did he know that the two of them would disperse directly after the play.
Looking at the queen, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but smile and said, "Did you see it...... I didn't ask yet, but he asked first! ”
"Thirteen, what's the matter with you coming here so late?"
Glancing at the emperor, Zhu Jinghong looked embarrassed: "This ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient for my son to say! ”
His eyes can make Zhu Xianming angry, does this kid think he is in the way?
"Old Thirteen, you came in with your left foot today, right?"
Zhu Jinghong immediately became alert and immediately replied, "No...... The son is the first to step on the right foot! ”
I only heard Zhu Xianming say indifferently: "That's right, I said today that you have to take your left foot before you can be peaceful, and you dare to resist the decree and disrespect it...... Go down and get twenty rods! ”
This kind of thing in the online joke really happened to me...... Zhu Jinghong was a little stunned for a while.
But he was not stupid, so he swept his gaze to the queen, and then said, "Mother...... I don't read much, is it really unlucky to step on my left foot? ”
At this moment, Yang Qingyin couldn't help laughing, glanced at the emperor opposite, and then said, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, he is scaring you...... Tell me, what are you doing here? ”
was relieved of the siege by the queen, Zhu Jinghong no longer dared to look around, so he said honestly: "In two days, my son will go out of the palace to the Hou family!" ”
"That Hou family? What to do? Yang Qingyin asked with concern.
"Xiuguo Gonghou's family, Shanglin Yuan's school reading made my father very satisfied, and praised everyone...... They said that it was thanks to their son's urging that they could do this, so they had to hold a banquet to thank their son! ”
"My son can't shirk it, so he can only accept it first, and come to ask my mother to get an idea tonight!"
"Hou family...... Yang Qingyin muttered, and then looked at Zhu Xianming.
"They feasted you? Don't go out and mess around again! Zhu Xianming's tone was stern.
Zhu Jinghong hurriedly replied, "Dad...... How dare your son mess around, don't worry! ”
At this time, the queen followed to play a round: "The Hou family is not far from the imperial city, and his family is still cautious and thoughtful, so let him go!" ”
