Comparatively speaking, the Chonghua Hall is more spacious, and banquets can accommodate more people here.

The so-called family banquet is naturally the emperor's family banquet, and those present today will be the emperor's concubines, as well as a group of sons and grandchildren.

Before the emperor arrived, the concubines in the harem arrived one after another, and chatting with each other was relaxed and happy.

Because of Yang Qingyin's existence, there are no such things as chickens and dogs in the harem, so these people are also very harmonious on weekdays.

And the concubines who have children are even more looking forward to the children entering the palace as soon as possible, and the two can meet and talk.

The prince who came out of the palace was not allowed to enter the palace without being called, and the treatment was far worse than that of concubines like Zhu Jinghong, and he rarely had the opportunity to enter the palace every year.

With the passage of time, there were princes and princesses who came to Chonghua Hall one after another, and immediately greeted them when they saw their mothers.

The crown prince and King Rui also arrived one after another, attracting a group of brothers to come to meet them quickly, and they actually put their mothers aside.

This behavior is easy to understand, because the next emperor must be one of the crown princes and the wise kings.

If you want to be a free prince in the future, how can you not tie these two up.

Unlike the crown prince Ruiwang, Zhu Jinghong was not very comfortable at this moment, because he was entangled by his own sister-in-law.

On the side of the palace road, Zhu Yunsheng looked angry, and said angrily: "Zhu Jinghong, you obviously promised me to bring fireworks into the palace, but you actually lied to me......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Looking at Zhu Yunsheng, who was angry, Zhu Jinghong was full of embarrassment and said, "Third sister...... You keep quiet, if your mother hears it, it's terrible! ”

Zhu Jinghong admitted that he had forgotten about this incident through negligence.

But he can't be blamed entirely, who let the project arranged by Hou Jing in the past two days make him have a lot of fun, and how can he remember his little sister's advice.

"What kind of first warrior of the Ming Dynasty actually lied to me, this little girl...... Thou...... You're just so bad! Zhu Yunsheng was indignant.

glanced at the other girls in the room, and sure enough, everyone was also disappointed, which made Zhu Jinghong feel that something was wrong.

Seeing that Zhu Yunsheng was about to make a fuss, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly stepped forward to appease: "Third sister, isn't it just fireworks...... I'll get it for you! ”

"Deng An......"

"The minions are here!" Deng An hurriedly stepped forward.

"You can find a way to buy some fireworks!"

Hearing this, Deng An's face turned embarrassed: "Thirteenth Master, this firework ...... It's a forbidden thing, how dare a slave bring it into the palace! ”

Fireworks contain gunpowder, and they must be strictly controlled in the palace, so of course they can't be brought in with his Deng An's face.

This reminded Zhu Jinghong that even he had to be a little scruples, after all, it was really not good to bring gunpowder to the palace.

"Then ...... Take Xiyuan to it, and we'll go to Xiyuan in a while! ”

Compared with the heavily guarded palace, the West Garden has not so many scruples, and the place is also spacious, so it is perfect to set off fireworks.

"Yes!" Deng An responded, although it was still a little difficult.

Turning around, Zhu Jinghong looked at the sister of the Zhu family and asked, "Third sister...... What do you think? ”

"Thank you, Brother Thirteen!"

Zhu Yunsheng's expression management was in place, and he had already regained his smile at this moment, and Zhu Jinghong shook his head.

"Thirteenth brother, let's go to Chonghua Hall quickly, don't let my father and mother wait!"

"Let's go!"

The brother and sister reconciled as before, and continued to chat and go to the Chonghua Palace.

When he arrived at the place, people greeted Zhu Jinghong one after another, which shows how different his status as a sister-in-law is.

After greeting a group of brothers, Zhu Jinghong greeted the fourth and sixth brothers successively, and then sat back in his chair.

At this moment, in the courtyard in front of the hall, the stage has been set up, and nearly 100 musicians are ready under the stage.

It's freezing right now, and it's really cold to perform outside, but what the royal family wants is a pomp, and whether to see it or not is secondary.

Let's say that Zhu Jinghong sat down under the corridor, and his own eunuch sent a stove and a foot stove, but he was not afraid of the wind, snow and cold.

"Wait!"

"Thirteenth Master, please command!"

"Take a few more hand stoves and read them to the princess!"

"Yes!"

Strictly speaking, this is not in accordance with the rules, but since it is Zhu Jinghong, how dare the people below refuse.

After a while, the things were delivered to Baochai and a few people, so that they received the warmth of winter.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel unbalanced, so he said: "Brother Thirteen really cares about you, more than my sister-in-law!" ”

At this time, Zhen Qin said: "Princess, the thirteenth master also cares about you, he has done everything you mentioned, and he has suffered a lot for you!" ”

Thinking about it carefully, Zhu Yunsheng didn't elaborate on this, but looked at Zhen Qin and said, "Sister Qin, you care so much about Brother Thirteen, after he will be crowned king next year, why don't you choose his princess?" ”

Oh, my mind is known by the princess, how embarrassing it is to say it in public...... Zhen Qin began to add drama in her heart.

But her little bit of caution, no one in the audience could see it.

To Zhen Qin's surprise, the other three didn't speak, only Xiangyun showed deep meaning, looked at the three of Baochai, and then inadvertently smiled.

"Don't say that, princess...... I'm your squire! Zhen Qin is even more twisted.

Zhu Yunsheng thought this "Sister Han" was very funny, so he continued: "What's so embarrassing about this...... I didn't say that the waiter can't choose the princess! ”

"As long as I can be accurate, you can pass the primary election directly, and then you can directly participate in the third round of secondary selection!"

Zhu Yunsheng said this, Baochai and Yang Jingting all know, so the key to the problem is how to get the queen to agree to run.

Originally, Yang Jingting was not worried about this matter, because she knew that she was coming to be a waiter, that is, the queen wanted to train her to be a daughter-in-law

But now, her aunt attaches more and more importance to Baochai, which makes Yang Jingting worried, afraid that she will miss Zhu Jinghong.

Like her, Baochai is also extremely worried, because her father is gone, which is her biggest bruise.

Although the royal concubine does not pay attention to the family, it also chooses the family of harmony, and it is easy to be regarded as a person who is less fortunate when he is young.

Therefore, Zhu Yunsheng's words made Baochai and Yang Jingting extremely sad, and their expressions that were visible to the naked eye became gloomy.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

The shouting outside immediately caused tension inside and outside the hall, and everyone greeted them out of the main hall, and soon knelt on the ground inside the palace gate.

After a few breaths, the emperor and queen appeared together, and the two of them were walking and chatting, ignoring the people who were kneeling on the ground now.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Hmm...... Get up! Zhu Xianming replied casually.

The concubines and princes and grandchildren at the scene all wanted the emperor to take a look at them, but unfortunately their ideas all fell through.

After entering the palace gate, the emperor only summoned Zhu Muchun, the eldest son of the crown prince, and asked about his studies and life.

Soon the emperor was seated, everyone else sat back in their seats, and the banquet officially began.

Although it is a family banquet, this time it is relatively formal, so there are many rules for eating.

What puzzled Zhu Jinghong was that the emperor did not come today.

You must know that on Chinese New Year's Eve in the past, the Emperor Taishang would attend the family banquet of the Chonghua Palace, and this year he should come.

Many people present had the same doubts, and Zhu Xianming also noticed this, so he explained that the Emperor Taishang was unable to attend because he was unwell.

Zhu Xinkan is already seventy years old, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is loess burying his neck, and it is normal to be unwell.
