Compared with Sun Chengzong, who entered the cabinet, Yang Feng's reward looked shabby, Zhu Youxiao only rewarded him with some silk and satin and crowned him as the crown prince, and the rest of the rewards were nothing.

As soon as this reward came out, except for a few people, many officials in the hall showed surprise and puzzlement on their faces, aren't Zhu Youxiao and Yang Feng so good that they almost wear the same pair of pants, why did they only reward such a small thing for such a great contribution this time?

Just when many people were shocked, only Sun Chengzong, Gu Bingqian, Han Yi and other pavilion elders showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Just when everyone was surprised, with a sharp sound of "retreat", Zhu Youxiao had already stood up from the dragon chair and returned to the harem.

Just as Yang Feng was about to go down to the court, a eunuch walked quickly to him and said a word, Yang Feng nodded, and followed the little eunuch towards the harem.

Sun Chengzong, as a new cabinet elder, was naturally sought after by everyone, and many officials came to congratulate him, and Sun Chengzong also smiled and greeted everyone.

"Kaiyang Gong, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Kaiyang Gongrong on his promotion to the Grand Master, and the lower officials have congratulated you!"

Just as everyone gathered around, a voice rang out nearby.

"Are you all idle, or have the things in the yamen been done? Do you want to find something for you to do? ”

Everyone looked back, but they saw Gu Bingqian, Han Yi, Zhu Guozhen and other three pavilion elders standing aside, looking at them with an unkind face, and the person who spoke was Han Yi, who had always been known for his strictness.

Seeing the three pavilion elders on the side, a group of officials scattered one after another, and soon only Sun Chengzong was left standing in place.

When everyone dispersed, Gu Bingqian stepped forward and said to Sun Chengzong: "Kaiyang Gong, I'm really sorry to make you laugh." ”

Sun Chengzong smiled: "Why did Yi'an Gong say this, all colleagues are all kind, how dare the lower officials be surprised." ”

Gu Bingqian laughed: "Duke Kaiyang is worthy of being a person who has led soldiers, and this temperament is bold and magnificent. That's good, if you don't dislike it, please go to Wenyuan Pavilion and sit down, how about we talk? ”

Sun Chengzong bowed slightly: "Duke Yi'an said so, dare the lower officials disobey?" ”

"Huh...... Please! ”

"Please ......"

Not to mention that Sun Chengzong, Gu Bingqian and other pavilion elders went to Wenyuan Pavilion to talk, Yang Feng came to the harem under the leadership of the little eunuch, but along the way, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and he quickly stopped the little eunuch who led the way in front.

"Wait...... This is not the way to the imperial study, where do you want to take Ben Hou? ”

The little eunuch turned around and said with a smile: "Hou Ye Mingjian, Your Majesty did not go back to the imperial study, but went to Kunning Palace, saying that he was going to set up a banquet in Kunning Palace to entertain Hou Ye, and I heard that the queen also cooked a few small dishes herself." ”

"Kunning Palace entertains Benhou, and the queen cooks herself?"

Yang Feng was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that Zhu Youxiao is entertaining him with family etiquette.

In ancient times, there were rules for greeting guests, and the ancients generally greeted guests in the lobby or front hall, and if the host was entertaining guests in the backyard or inner courtyard, it meant that the other party was regarded as a close person.

If you still let your family members come out to accompany you, it will be treated as a good family, if it is not for your close relatives, you will not do this, no wonder this little eunuch has an unconcealed envy in his eyes.

When Yang Feng came to Kunning Palace with the little eunuch, he saw that Empress Zhang Yan was directing several palace maids to set up dishes, while Zhu Youzheng was sitting on a stool and looking at him with a smile.

Yang Feng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Weichen has seen Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." The minister is sincerely afraid, how can he be the queen so hands-on. ”

Zhang Yan looked back and smiled: "Jiang Ninghou don't say that this palace is so delicate, this palace also sold things on the street with his father before entering the palace, and he often cooks on weekdays, but after entering the palace, he has done less."

I just heard that His Majesty said that he was going to entertain Jiang Ninghou in Kunning Palace, and this palace volunteered to take over this job, which can be regarded as moving his body and bones, and I just hope that Jiang Ninghou will not dislike the craftsmanship of this palace. ”

Before Yang Feng could speak, Zhu Youxiao on the side also laughed and said, "Why should Zitong be too humble, I remember that when you first entered the palace, I almost swallowed my tongue when I first tasted your craftsmanship. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Zhang Yanjiao gave Zhu Youxiao a roll of her eyes, which made Zhu Youxiao laugh.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, since the dishes are all ready, let's take a seat!"

"Obey the order!"

Yang Feng bowed to Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan and then sat down.

Seeing Yang Feng's unceremonious appearance, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan glanced at each other and laughed.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but say, "Zitong, have you seen it?" Throughout the Manchu Dynasty, only Yang Aiqing is so free and easy in front of me and you, if the others eat with me, which one is not trembling, but only Yang Aiqing does not treat himself as an outsider. ”

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't what Your Majesty appreciates most is Jiang Ninghou's freedom and ease?" ”

"Hahaha...... Zitong is right, this is also what I admire most about Yang Aiqing. ”

While the three of them were talking, the palace maid on the side also filled the wine glass in front of Yang Feng.

Zhu Youxiao raised his glass: "Yang Aiqing, this glass of wine respects you, thank you for clearing the border troubles in Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty, and finally exterminated the Manchu Tartars who caused the disaster, and also avenged the Ming people who died tragically under the Tartar knife." ”

"Thank Your Majesty for your love, this is the duty of a minister, and I dare not thank Your Majesty."

Yang Feng raised his wine glass and drank it all.

After two or three glasses of wine, Zhu Youxiao's face blushed a little.

He put down his wine glass and looked at Yang Feng and said, "Yang Aiqing, you have made such a great achievement, but I only named you a prince and a prince today, do you think my reward is too thin." ”

Yang Feng shrugged his shoulders, "That's not true, when the minister first arrived in Daming four years ago, he was just a cloth cloth, and now he is the governor of Daming Jiangning, the governor of the southern capital, and he is already a very human minister, if he is not satisfied, it is too greedy." Besides, life is short, even if you are the king, what if you are the king, who is not a pile of loess after a hundred years, the emperor will be like this, even if you are a big official? ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Feng in a daze for a while, and then sighed and said to Zhang Yan: "Look at it, look at it, this is my Jiang Ninghou, this is the bearing that my Ming Marquis should have, if half of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty can have Jiang Ninghou's ability and bearing, why worry that the world is not peaceful, and why worry that no one is available!" ”
