Chapter 387: Bonfire Feast
There is no doubt that today's martial arts show was very successful, so Zhu Xianming was also very happy.
"Old Thirteen, you kid...... It's not for nothing! β
Riding a horse and following the side of the royal driver, Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile: "Didn't Du Fu say that I was born to be useful, and my son is always useful!" β
I have to say that the people around the emperor are professional, and even if they are funny, they can hold back their laughter.
Only Zhu Xianming couldn't laugh at the moment, a gloomy look appeared in his expression, and he was obviously not very satisfied with Zhu Jinghong.
"This time is over, don't forget to study hard......" Zhu Xianming tried to calm himself.
This is also Zhu Jinghong's great achievement, otherwise he would have scolded him with his head and face.
I only heard Zhu Jinghong reply: "My son has been reading all along, and recently I saw the third Analects, and I also read a funny story......
"What's the story?"
"There was a man named Zhuangzi and Keiko who went out to play and saw fish swimming in the water, and one said that the fish were very happy, and the other said ......"
Hearing that Zhu Jinghong was wearing a crown here, Zhu Xianming only felt that his face was about to be lost by him, and his expression had become extremely ugly.
"Dad, you said these two people, are they full......
"Shut up!" Zhu Xianming couldn't help but scold.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly silenced and made a frightened look.
"Don't tell me to read anymore, I'll be ashamed to death when it spreads......" Zhu Xianming scolded coldly.
Zhu Jingyuan just felt that he was not as good as Zhu Jinghong, and when he saw that he made the old man angry again, he said that the old thirteen really didn't grow.
Zhu Jinghong really hasn't grown, he has always been reckless, reckless and talking nonsense...... However, what he has done and what he has done are also objective.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan and Xu Xinan were both touched, and they became more and more vigilant against Zhu Jinghong at this moment.
"Dad, the thirteenth brother is just not good at reading, but this studious heart ...... Or should it be encouraged! Zhu Jingyuan stepped forward to persuade.
As the crown prince and eldest brother, Zhu Jingyuan has absolutely no problem doing this.
"That's a nice thing to say, if you really have a studious heart, will you learn this ghost?"
"I think he doesn't understand bullshit, I'm afraid he hasn't touched the book for nearly half a year!"
However, Zhu Xianming's voice fell, and he heard Zhu Jinghong distinguish: "Dad, you can't wronged your son, I taught my son to read all night last year, and I ...... that day."
His eyes swept towards Zhu Jinghong, and the emperor was already furious, and scared Zhu Jinghong's words back.
Now that Zhu Jinghong has left the house, Zhu Xianming doesn't care about whether he reads or not, not to mention that he doesn't feel like he can control it at all.
So this topic, he didn't want to discuss it anymore at all.
The team entered the capital all the way, and the three sons-in-law sent their father back to the dormitory, and then walked outside the Qianqing Palace together.
"Thirteenth brother, you are really amazing, you are all good at training and fighting, and you have the style of your father!"
These words were made by Zhu Jingyuan, and at the same time, they were also his temptation to Zhu Jinghong, and he couldn't help but make a move on this little brother.
When Zhu Jinghong trains his troops, he will have the opportunity to get his hands on military power, and the importance of military power is so powerful and crucial......
I only heard Zhu Jinghong reply: "Sixth brother, not only is it a training battle, but my riding and archery kung fu is also the best in the world...... Don't talk about it! β
Zhu Jinghong's brain circuit was beyond Zhu Jingyuan's expectations, but the vigilance in his heart did not decrease.
In fact, at this moment, Zhu Jinghong also knew that he was very dangerous, at least for now, if Zhu Jingyuan tried his best to attack him, he would definitely be able to bring him great trouble.
In the end, he still has a shallow foundation, and it has not been a year since May last year, and his arrangements have not yet taken root.
He needs time, at least one more big war, and after he has really established his prestige in the army, he can confront Zhu Jingyuan head-on.
And he desperately carried out military system reforms, and tried his best to let the emperor expand the navy to make money, in order to increase his own irreplaceability.
So at least for now, he still has to continue to forbear, and he can't let Zhu Jingyuan make trouble and disrupt his plan.
But if it can be pretended to go on forever, Zhu Jinghong will not take the initiative to show his cards, and obscene development is the king.
"I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave...... See you in the evening! Zhu Jingyuan smiled.
The foreign khans were leaving, and the emperor naturally wanted to entertain them, which was planned in advance, so the imperial dining room and the monk food bureau were preparing early in the morning.
"Sixth brother go slowly!"
After Zhu Jingyuan left, Zhu Jingyuan, who had not spoken, spoke: "Thirteenth brother, the sixth brother is sinister and cunning, you don't get involved with him!" β
"Won't you...... I think Sixth Brother is good to me! β
"You just have too shallow mind to be deceived by him!" Zhu Jingyuan looked distressed.
When the two brothers were talking nonsense, Zhu Yunsheng also learned that there was going to be a banquet in Xiyuan tonight, which made her unable to sit still.
At this moment, she pestered the queen and made a fuss to take a look.
"Mother, I've done all my homework, and I've passed the exam, but I'm just looking at it from a distance, isn't it okay?"
"It's just a long way to see from afar, and it's not a banquet, what's the big deal......
"Brother Thirteen is gone, isn't there anyone in this huge palace who cares about me......"
Hearing the end, the queen was also annoyed, and couldn't help but speak: "Tell your father to go, and you will go if he tells you to go!" β
"Really?" Zhu Yunsheng was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
After thanking him, Zhu Yunsheng immediately withdrew from the hall, for fear that his mother would regret it at the moment.
For convincing the emperor's father, Zhu Yunsheng has sufficient certainty.
Returning to the dormitory, Zhu Yunsheng excitedly announced the good news, to which Daiyu and Xiangyun both reacted strongly, and they both liked to join in the fun.
As for Yang Jingting, her mind is now on choosing the princess, and the rest is not attractive to her.
"Go ahead, I'm not going!" Yang Jingting said.
"Sister Qin, are you going?" Xiangyun took the initiative to ask.
"I ......"
Zhen Qin actually didn't want to go, she now felt that life was gloomy, and she said that she had lost interest in all activities.
"Let's go, you've been depressed lately, it's okay to go out for a walk!"
Although Zhen Qin is a little stupid, with her straightforward character, she still makes friends like Xiangyun.
Thinking that she had indeed been too decadent recently, Zhen Qin nodded slightly.
After this "heavy" blow, she has indeed matured a lot, at least she has learned to shut up, instead of being as big as before.
"Do you want to call Sister Bao too?" Daiyu suddenly spoke, she knew that Baochai lived in the Shangyi Bureau.
"Absolutely!" Zhu Yunsheng was the first to speak.
She just thinks that the more people there are, the more fun it is, not to mention the old people who have been reunited for a long time.
"Which of you is going to pass a message to her?"
"I'll go!" Xiangyun replied with a smile.
"I'll go with you!" Daiyu also spoke.
Hearing this, Yang Jingting was not too calm, and she also had to be there where Baochai appeared, otherwise she would always feel uneasy.
But she had refused just now, and she wanted to go again at this time, Yang Jingting didn't know how to speak for a while.
"You all go, don't go wrong!" Yang Jingting spoke.
Zhu Yunsheng didn't care, sat on the chair and said, "Sister Ting, what can we do wrong, it's just a matter of watching the excitement!" β
"I always feel uneasy, forget it...... Let's go over and stare at it! Yang Jingting said lightly.
provoked the topic in this way to achieve the goal, I have to say that Yang Jingting has also matured.
And her words and deeds before and after were also seen by Daiyu, and she couldn't help but worry about Baochai.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhu Yunsheng was right, as soon as she resorted to coquettish means, Zhu Xianming easily agreed to her request.
is strict with his son, and he is already doting on his daughter, the emperor, who let him be this one concubine.
When the night gradually shrouded, a bonfire had been lit on a grass somewhere in the West Garden.
Tonight's banquet was attended by people from the grassland, and Zhu Xianming deliberately chose this form in order to express his affection for them.
This is not to please the Gentiles, but to be tolerant only by great strength.
Before the emperor arrived, the ministers of the various states had already arrived in advance, and arranged to take their seats in the Honglu Temple one after another.
Tonight's food is carried out according to the standard of the state banquet, except for an extra roast leg of lamb.
"Father, the court really has a heart...... "Nuo Min sighed, and at this time she had changed into women's clothes.
In fact, she was not the only woman who came this time, and these people also changed into women's clothes tonight, just because the mission had been completed.
There is no need to be so serious on a casual occasion like tonight.
"yes!" Su He responded.
Until now, he has not walked out of the shock of the morning, and this cross-era military exercise has brought him a great impact.
He really couldn't imagine that if the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty were so powerful, who in the world could compete with them.
And he knew that he was not the only one who had this idea, and that others had been hit harder than him.
For example, when he was eye-to-eye with Dzungar, Tushetu Khan, his expression was ugly from the morning to now, but Zasak Khan behaved more relaxed.
On the other end, Zhu Yunsheng led a few attendants, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and was leaving Kunning Palace to go to Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yunsheng and Yang Jingting walked in front, followed by Zhen Qin and Xiangyun talking, only Daiyu held Baochai and walked at the end.
They were so far ahead that there was no one behind them.
"Sister Bao, if you really enter the Xiangwang Mansion, I'm afraid that it will be difficult......"
If it weren't for the mutual relationship, Daiyu would never have said this, and it is a great crime to talk about the royal family.
"Why?" Baochai smiled lightly.
Daiyu didn't answer, but looked ahead, and Baochai instantly understood what she meant.
"Don't worry about me...... Whether you can choose the side concubine is still unknown! Baochai smiled lightly.
When she didn't enter the palace, Daiyu also felt that the selection of the court was extremely fair, but what she saw and heard in the palace for two months made her completely abandon her naΓ―ve ideas.
Behind Yang Jingting is the queen's niece; Queen Baochai is the cousin of the crown princess, and she is also supported by Princess Rui......
Daiyu really couldn't imagine how the others could compete with these two.
According to conventional thinking, Yang Jingting will inevitably become a princess, if she is dissatisfied with Baochai and rectifies it, Baochai's life as a side concubine will be difficult.
"Sister Bao......"
Seeing that Daiyu was really worried about herself, Baochai couldn't help but be moved, so she stroked her slender jade hand and said, "Okay...... You're so young, and you can't help but have too many thoughts! β
"I told you, don't always think cranky, otherwise how can your body get better?"
Seeing that Baochai was really not worried, Daiyu could only hope that His Royal Highness King Xiang would always be good to her, so that she could protect Baochai when the princess was in trouble.
Next, Daiyu changed the topic and asked about Baochai's "further study", and the two chatted carefully.
Soon they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, but only Zhu Yunsheng was able to enter, and everyone else could only wait outside the palace gate.
Zhu Yunsheng's two brothers-in-law arrived before her, and the reason why they were two brothers-in-law was because Zhu Jinghong hadn't come yet, and this guy must have been routinely late.
Zhu Xianming was already numb to this, but he was still very happy to see his daughter coming, and even his mood was much better when he watched the concerto.
When the night was shrouded, Zhu Jinghong was finally late, and before leaving the palace, he also discussed life with Keqing Yinglian, who can be called an ancient time management master.
"Why are you there?" Seeing Baochai and a few people, Zhu Jinghong's eyes lit up.
"Thirteenth Master, you ...... Why here? Xiangyun was also surprised, she thought that Zhu Jinghong was in the Qianqing Palace.
After getting closer, Zhu Jinghong asked Xiangyun: "I went out to do something, are you waiting here?" Could it be that you are also going to a dinner party? β
"Exactly...... This is the grace that Her Royal Highness asks for! β
Walking among the women, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It's okay to stay in Kunning Palace all day long, I'm afraid that not everyone will be stupid!" β
Just as he was about to continue talking, Daiyu's voice came from the left: "Thirteenth Master, let's go in quickly, it's a missed hour...... I'm afraid you'll have to be punished again! β
"Look at it, I treat you well on weekdays, but it's Lin Yatou, the later person, who cares more about me!"
Dai Yuyan smiled and replied: "The Thirteenth Master is wrong, I don't care about you, I'm just afraid that you will be beaten by the board, and the queen mother and the princess will be sad!" β
In the private residence of the inner court, Zhu Jinghong has never put up a shelf, and he has great respect for the girls.
Although Daiyu has been in the palace for a short time, she also found out Zhu Jinghong's temperament, and after getting acquainted with it, she dared to laugh with Zhu Jinghong.
"Really? Someone said this before, but now it's ......" Zhu Jinghong looked at Baochai when he spoke, but did not continue to say the following words.
Knowing what Zhu Jinghong meant, Baochai didn't dare to look at Zhu Jinghong, and when her eyes swept to Yang Jingting, she found that this girl was also staring at Zhu Jinghong.
Hearing this, Zhen Qin couldn't help but ask, "Who said that?" What about now? β
Of course, Sister Bao also said that now that she is running for the princess, the thirteenth master is also open-mouthed...... Daiyu was dissatisfied with being molested with herself.
It was at this time that there was movement in the Qianqing Palace, but it was the emperor who was about to take off.
Zhu Jinghong dared to delay any longer, and ran to the palace gate, it was foreseeable that he would be scolded again.
However, today, Zhu Xianming was in a really good mood, just reprimanded a few words, and then continued to talk to his daughter.
The emperor left the Qianqing Palace, accompanied by a large number of guards and honor guards, and Baochai and his party also followed the team.
It should be noted that the Emperor Taishang will also participate in tonight's banquet, so the emperor will go to Ningshou Palace first, and take the Emperor Taishang to Xiyuan together.
From the palace to the banquet in the West Garden, it took almost half an hour.
Before the arrival of the two supremes, a group of high-ranking civil and military officials of the imperial court had also arrived, including three cabinet ministers and officials of various ministries, as well as senior military generals of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
When the two supremes arrived, everyone stood up and knelt to greet them, and the scene resounded with the sound of a mountain shouting long live.
Seeing the emperor supporting the emperor, the former was filial and the latter was kind, and everyone had to sigh at the filial piety of the royal father, which is really in the same vein, and can be described as a model in the world.
Following behind the emperor and his brother, Zhu Jinghong looked left and right as he walked forward, just opposite the eyes of Nuo Min, who boldly raised his head.
Nuo Min's appearance is even better than his character, and there is a bookish atmosphere in his eyes, if he changes into a Han costume and says that he is a lady, some people believe it.
But in this bookish atmosphere, Nuo Min still has a wildness, that bold look...... really made Zhu Jinghong's eyes shine.
In fact, while he was observing Nomin, the latter was also scrutinizing him.
Is he really that brave? At this moment, the observation that was less than a foot away made Nuomin still have such doubts.
Just as Nuo Min's eyes were rolling, Su He on the side reminded in a low voice: "Bow your head, don't die......"
Hearing his father's fear and worry, Nomin lowered his head honestly.
Watching the emperor, if you don't want to lose your head, Nuo Min knows very well what is at stake.
Soon, Zhu Xianming helped his father to walk onto the high platform, and took the emperor to sit on the main seat, and then he turned around and said slowly: "Let's be flat!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" And they bowed again.
In order to show his benevolence and filial piety, Zhu Xianming's seat was set on the side to express his respect for his father.
After Zhu Xianming sat down, the subordinates sat down separately.
When everyone was looking forward to it, Zhu Xianming said calmly: "You are going to leave in the next two days, today I will specially set up a banquet to see you off, and you can have a drink tonight......"
