Chapter 972: Reminiscence
"Your Majesty, the queen mother sent someone over, saying that she asked Your Majesty and the Marquis of Jiangning to move to the Qianqing Palace of Kunning Palace for dinner."
Just as Yang Feng and Zhu Youxiao were drinking and talking, Sandezi came in from outside to report.
"Oh...... It seems that Zitong can't wait. Zhu Youxiao smiled, and then stood up: "Yang Aiqing, it seems that we have to go to Kunning Palace if we want to continue drinking this wine." ”
Yang Feng also laughed: "The reason why the queen mother sent someone to urge is that your majesty and the queen mother have a deep relationship." Besides, isn't Your Majesty bored just because the two of us big men are drinking? ”
"Hahaha......" Seeing that Yang Feng actually dared to ridicule himself, Zhu Youxiao laughed.
Zhu Youxiao has been accustomed to all kinds of compliments and flattery since he was a child, and even more so after becoming the emperor, whether it is the harem or the courtiers, seeing him is all respectful, and the courtiers can only fold it through euphemistic methods even if they are dissatisfied with the emperor.
And Yang Feng is different, when Yang Feng and Zhu Youxiao are together, they rarely seem to put themselves in the position of courtiers, but more like friends, he will clearly say it when he encounters different opinions, and he also explained to Zhu Youxiao the world pattern and the various drawbacks of the Ming Dynasty through various methods such as albums and words.
He even made a joke from time to time to ease the atmosphere, the two of them are more like friends getting along with each other, Zhu Youxiao feels very relaxed about the state of the two of them being teachers and friends, which is also one of the important reasons why Zhu Youxiao admires Yang Feng.
Today's Kunning Palace has changed from the calm of the past, due to the arrangement of Queen Zhang Yan, Yang Feng's women were all accepted into the palace, Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe, Da Yuer, Zheng Tuniang, Xianniang, and even Milia and Kanaya's mother and daughter were all taken in, and there were so many people at once, and the entire Kunning Palace became noisy.
A burst of laughter rang out in the hall.
In the spacious hall, Empress Zhang Yan sat in the center, and on his right were the harem concubines such as Concubine Liang, Concubine Hui, Fan, and Concubine Cheng, and on the left, Hai Lanzhu. As for Zhezhe, Da Yu'er, Zheng Tuoniang and other concubines of Yang Feng, they were not qualified to sit on this occasion, and could only stand next to Hai Lanzhu.
Zhang Yan, who was dressed in a light yellow palace dress, put on a light makeup, looking both graceful and luxurious, beautiful and elegant, she smiled at Hai Lanzhu who was sitting on the lower left of her: "Sister Hai Lanzhu, I didn't expect to see you for a year, you are also pregnant, this is really gratifying, now Jiang Ninghou can be regarded as a successor." ”
Hai Lanzhu smiled, gently stroked the bulging lower abdomen, and her face exuded a hint of maternal brilliance, "The blessing of the queen's mother has finally lived up to expectations, but I don't know if it's a man or a woman." ”
Zhang Yan took Hai Lanzhu's little hand and said kindly: "Alas...... It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. You and Jiang Ninghou are still young, and rebirth is enough, wouldn't it be better if you could have a few more children? A few sisters, do you think this is the reason? ”
The concubines next to them didn't reply, and Zhu Youxiao's voice came from the side.
"Zitong is right, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. If the boy should inherit Yang Aiqing's title in the future, and if the girl can be my righteous daughter, wouldn't it be good? ”
As soon as the girls saw Zhu Youxiao, who was standing at the door in a bright yellow dragon robe, and Yang Feng, who was standing beside him, half of his body fell behind, they quickly stood up and bowed down together, "The concubines and others have seen Your Majesty, may your Majesty live long live, long live, long live!" ”
"Alright, let's all get up!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand disappreciatively to signal the girls to stand up, and he quickly came to Zhang Yan and sat down, and ordered: "Yang Aiqing also sits, and Yang Aiqing's concubines are also regarded as such. ”
Following Zhu Youxiao's instructions, the eunuchs and palace maids moved the stools over, and everyone thanked Zhu Youxiao in unison before they sat down.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao sat down, he asked Zhang Yan, "Zitong, are you in such a hurry to send someone to call me, is there anything urgent?" ”
Zhang Yanjiao glanced at Zhu Youxiao with disgust: "Your Majesty is making fun of the concubines again, if you let others know, you don't know how many rumors will be born." ”
"Who dare?" After Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, he looked around, and the palace maids and eunuchs around him lowered their heads one after another.
Since Zhu Youxiao was almost killed in the water last time, Zhu Youxiao, who felt that the people around him had already been infiltrated like a sieve, first asked Wei Zhongxian to carry out a major purge of the palace, whether it was Kunning Palace or the eunuchs and palace maids around him, almost all of them were changed.
After Wei Zhongxian changed the stubble, he asked Sandezi to check again, after such three times and two times of cleaning, it can be said that all kinds of spies that had infiltrated him and the queen have been cleaned up, even if there are still a few people left, they are all kittens and dogs, and they are destined to not make any big waves. This is the reason why he dared to ask Zhang Yan in front of everyone.
Who would have expected, but Zhang Yan was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, although you are in the imperial study with the ministers and the Marquis of Jiangning to discuss national affairs, but the concubines and others are waiting for you, you must know that this meal today is invited in your name, if you don't come, who will dare to eat?" ”
"Eh, what's the matter?"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the Yang Feng family invited by the royal family in his name today, if the wine and food were all prepared, and he, the head of the family, was not there, this would not only be a matter of rudeness, it would simply be embarrassing the courtiers.
He patted his head: "Eh, it's really strange to say, the guests have already come, but the host is not at home, that is, Yang Aiqing's wife and concubine are polite, otherwise if it were someone who was in a hurry, she would have scolded her mother a long time ago." Come on, hurry up and pass the meal! ”
The emperor was about to eat, and the palace ladies and eunuchs below hurriedly got busy, and soon three or four tables were set up, and everyone sat down one after another.
Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, naturally shared a table with the empress, and as the guests invited today, Yang Feng and Hai Lanzhu were also able to share the table with the emperor. In addition, several concubines of Zhu Youxiao made a table, and Yang Feng's concubines also made a table.
Looking at the several tables full of people around him, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Zitong, your Kunning Palace hasn't been so lively for a long time. ”
"yes!" Zhang Yan also nodded and said, "Since the concubine married His Majesty, there have never been so many people here." It seems that in the future, I will have to invite Sister Hai Lanzhu into the palace and accompany the courtiers and concubines more. ”
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult." Zhu Youxiao pointed at Yang Feng and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Jiang Ning, who is the right person, has asked me for the envoy of the governor of Luzon, and it will be announced to the world in a few days, and when the Marquis of Jiang Ning takes office, let alone Zitong, even if I want to see him, it will be difficult." ”
"Oh...... Is there such a thing? ”
For a moment, all the women were surprised.
