Seeing Zhu Xiongying appear, Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunwen and others immediately stood up according to the rules and saluted respectfully.
And Zhu Xiongying did not forget that there were his imperial uncles in the main hall, so he naturally had to bow obediently.
"Thirteenth Uncle, your trip this time has offended Fifth Uncle." Looking at Zhu Gui, Zhu Xiongying said jokingly, "He has been scolding you and Fourteenth Uncle all day long, saying that you are the most
No conscience."
Zhu Gui is actually not very nervous. His mother-in-law is Guo Huifei, the daughter of Guo Zixing. She is also god-sister to Queen Ma. The most important thing is that Zhu Gui knows very well that the fifth brother, also known as the fifth brother, is a little older.
, we don’t have much contact, and since we are all princes, we can’t have too close contact in the future, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Zhu Gai felt a little aggrieved, "Xiongying, Fifth Brother has wronged us. We agreed to help him farm, but it's just that the emperor's decree has come down, so naturally we have to obey it."
Zhu Gui is a more appropriate name for Zhu Xiongying, since he is still a few months older. However, Zhu Kai usually does not dare to call him 'eldest nephew' because he is two years younger than Zhu Xiongying.
Of these two, one is currently the King of Yu and the other is the King of Han.
In fact, this also shows the development of the Ming Dynasty. They were all granted titles in the eleventh year of Hongwu. At that time, although Lao Zhu had also made up his mind to ask the kings to guard the border, he just didn't think too far ahead. At that time, the northern border had not yet been built.
Some lines of defense.
So there is no need to think too much about it. The title will definitely be changed. Zhu Gui and others probably know this well. After all, the title of king not only represents their status, but is also directly related to their place of vassalage.<

"Let the fourth child go back." After touching Zhu Yunzhen's head, Zhu Xiongying said, "Brothers will go eat and drink with me. Those who are old enough will drink some wine. Those who are not old enough will recite poems and write poems for me at the banquet.
Dance with swords and guns!"
Now that the emperor's grandsons have spoken, the young eunuchs who were waiting in front of the emperor's grandsons rushed back to the palace to say something to their masters.
Looking at Zhu Gui, Zhu Xiongying asked, "Uncle Thirteen, do you want to go there together? What if I say, you guys go there together? Although we are uncles and nephews, we are only close in age. Now we can drink.
, that is, Uncle Thirteen."
Zhu Kai said somewhat unhappily, "I am also thirteen, and I am the same age as Yunxi."
"I don't allow Yun Wen to drink. Yun He is a little too young." Zhu Xiongying grabbed Zhu Gui's arm and said, "Uncle Thirteen, look at it, we are the only ones who can drink now."
p>
Zhu Gui stopped being pretentious, but still said, "Your fourteenth uncle also drinks some wine in private."
This is actually normal. Drinking at the age of thirteen or fourteen is very normal in this era. People of this age are generally treated as young adults, and basically they are not treated completely as children.
And Zhu Xiongying was also justified, "Uncle Thirteen, of course no one will say anything about the two of us drinking. Uncle Fourteen and the others drink in private, so no one will say anything. If I let Uncle Fourteen and the others drink, grandma won't blame them."
Uncle Fourteen and the others, but I will definitely be scolded!"
Now no one is raising any objections, and the queen has moved out, so naturally she will be very convincing.
It's normal for the queen not to allow them to drink. If they really drank at the banquet, the queen would probably turn a blind eye. But if it involves the emperor's grandson and gets scolded, that's a big deal, so it's better to punish them directly.
What about these parties?
Although the atmosphere seems to be lacking without the drinks, there is nothing much to say. This banquet was still a success.
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Gaochi and others were reciting poems and writing poems, and were also discussing various Confucian classics. Zhu Yunxi was enjoying the singing and dancing, and then ran to compete with the emperor Zhu Zhen who had not yet been ennobled.
Generally speaking, the atmosphere is good. At least Zhu Xiongying feels that the atmosphere is very harmonious and harmonious. Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao will naturally not disturb them. Empress Ma and Chang also have no objections and even arranged for someone to bring some delicacies.
Drinks. As for the mothers and concubines of these princes, they all hope that their sons will perform well.
Even in the deep palace, even if they have basically no contact with the affairs of the court, many concubines are aware of it. In the past two years, some princes are about to start vassaling. Can you go to one?
The better part is that in the past, we only had to consider the arrangements of the emperor and the prince.
And now everyone knows that the opinions of the emperor's grandson can actually influence the emperor and the prince. The princes' voice in the court combined is not as good as that of the emperor's grandson.
After a brief gathering with the clan disciples of similar age, Zhu Xiongying returned to Dashan Palace.
Seeing Zhu Xiongying's return, He Yuyao took the initiative and said, "Today, the emperor's aunt and the emperor's sister are having a lot of banquets, and it's not easy to arrange for the concubine. I want someone who is close to her to send someone over to pass the message. I will go over and sit down in a few days.
Talk."
"That's right, they won't say anything of course." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "You should go and sit with the two imperial aunts. You can't let them, as elders, come to see you! We two
You also have to talk to this girl."
He Yuyao also understands what Zhu Xiongying means. In fact, the marriage of the two princesses has been decided, one at the end of the year and the other at the beginning of next year. Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi will also get married in two years.
After looking at Zhu Xiongying, He Yuyao took the initiative and said, "Your Highness, I think it's time for you to accept a concubine."
Zhu Xiongying was immediately happy. His wife took the initiative to bring up the matter of helping him take a concubine. This matter was really interesting.
In fact, Zhu Xiongying also understands some of He Yuyao's thoughts. If she says she doesn't care at all, it must be a lie. But as the emperor's concubine, she is indeed very favored and has a transcendent status.
But this also requires her to have more responsibilities to bear. In addition to carrying on the royal family lineage, she also needs to be a 'mother who cares about the world'. Jealousy is obviously not an excellent quality, and it is also something that cannot be tolerated.<
/p>
Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it in two years. I don't want to have a concubine now."
Hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, He Yuyao was naturally happy. She was newly married, so it would be strange to feel comfortable letting her husband accept a concubine. But who made her the emperor's grandson? She knew that some things were unavoidable, so...
Take the initiative to speak.
If you really have to accept it, or if you accept it unwillingly because of repeated urging from your parents and elders, then it is obviously not a good thing. He Yuyao, who is from a wealthy family, naturally understands such things.<
/p>
Since you can't change anything, then take the initiative to speak up. At least you can get a higher evaluation from your grandson and get more recognition from your parents and elders.
Although Zhu Xiongying had a meal with the clan members and drank a little, he was still measured. He didn't appear hungover. He got up when it was time to get up, washed up and ate some snacks.
Looking at the drizzle outside, Zhu Xiongying put on his cloak. There was no need to worry about holding an umbrella. People like Zhang Changping and He Zhongxian would not let Zhu Xiongying get caught in the rain.
Looking at the time, Zhu Xiongying said, "Let the people in the Shangshan Supervisor prepare some ginger tea. After going to court, give it to all the officials, saying that the grandson cares about the court officials and the pillars of the court, or she is not young."
p>
Of course, a cup of ginger tea will not completely prevent officials from getting sick. But in such weather, it is a kindness for the concubine to think of those people, and it is also a sign of the concubine's wisdom.
In fact, even if the official salary is not high, they still don't lack a cup of ginger tea, and they can even take shelter from the rain on their way to court.
However, after receiving the ginger tea rewarded by the Concubine, they wanted to be grateful and praise the Concubine for her wisdom.
There are some routines that everyone actually has a sense of proportion in their hearts, but they also tacitly acquiesce.
Just like the concubine concubine giving ginger tea, naturally no one would think that this is a panacea. Similarly, everyone knows better that without the permission of the emperor, the prince or the grandson, it would be impossible for the concubine to reward the courtiers.
Ginger tea.
Just saying casually, Zhu Xiongying definitely doesn’t need to worry about the specific operations, others will arrange it.
Zhu Xiongying, who came up early in the morning, was still a little silent. He didn't seem to have anything more to say, he just listened.
But when the next dynasty was approaching, Zhu Xiongying suddenly left his job and said, "I'm going to report to your Majesty the Emperor, Grandfather, that Sun Chen has something to report."
Lao Zhu was a little surprised, but he still smiled and said, "It's accurate."
Zhu Xiongying said directly, "Your Majesty, Sun Chen had a banquet with all the emperor's uncles and emperor's brothers yesterday. The thirteenth emperor's uncle and the fourteenth emperor's uncle are already of marriage age. Sun Chen thought that the emperor's uncles should get married first, and then become feudal lords.
!"
The smile on Lao Zhu's face became even brighter and he said, "Good, great good!"
Zhu Xiongying continued, "A few days ago, Concubine Taisun repeatedly mentioned that she should be Sun Chen's crown prince, but Sun Chen thought that she was still young and should not indulge in women. But I also thought that the affairs of the heavenly family were the affairs of the world.
The marriages of emperors, grandsons, and kings should have regulations. Sun Chen has requested that the emperor and empress wish to set up the rules for future generations to marry wives and take concubines."
Lao Zhu was even more cheerful. In fact, he also had some arrangements for marrying wives and concubines for his descendants. But his grandchildren were different. He had to settle these things directly and set some rules.
This is in line with Lao Zhu's appetite. He is born to worry about life, and he also feels that future generations must care about all aspects. So it is also a good thing to arrange a rule now.
Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying sang in harmony, and Zhu Biao quickly joined in to play the drums, and some things seemed to be arranged clearly.
After the next court, there were palace maids and eunuchs who had prepared the ginger tea ordered by the concubine Taisun to be given to the civil and military officials so that they could go away from the cold. This also made the civil and military officials unanimously move towards the Great Good Palace to express their gratitude.
Everyone is a showman and a smart person, so naturally they all know that this is a time to enhance the reputation of the concubine. These matters not only require the attention of the royal family, but also the cooperation of all officials.
