Chapter 206 News about Luanjiao’s renewal of the palace

Jia Cong and Jia She finally returned to the Forbidden City.

Even if you avoid the Xinzheng Imperial Court meeting this morning, you don’t have to attend the banquet of ministers to share cold pork.

But if I want to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager Tianxi, I still have to go.

It was already afternoon, and the banquet of ministers had dispersed early.

The imperial dining room is busy preparing for the afternoon palace banquet.

Jia She and others have just passed the gate of Qinzheng Hall.

I saw Dai Quan and Dai Xue standing in the square in front of the palace against the wind.

He only had a young eunuch behind him to hold a snow umbrella for him.

"Uncle, Third Master, Sixth Master, you are finally back..."

Dai Quan came forward eagerly.

Jia She asked: "Is dad awake?"

Of course Mr. Qi would not do anything serious to Emperor Yongtai, so he just took a nap.

Dai Quan nodded vigorously.

"The old sage just woke up and was looking for Third Master."

"The saint cannot persuade you."

Jia She and Zhong Chun Zhong Qin speed up their pace.

Sure enough.

Ningshou Palace was in a state of turmoil again.

Emperor Tianxi looked helpless as he looked at Emperor Yongtai who was holding a big red pillar and wouldn't let go.

Jia She took a deep breath.

He stepped forward and pulled down Emperor Yongtai who was hanging on the pillar.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Emperor Yongtai was overjoyed: "Third brother! Accompany me to have a meal!"

"I'm hungry!"

Emperor Tianxi showed his hands to Jia She and Zhong Chun Zhong Qin, dumbfounded.

He obviously came specially to invite Emperor Yongtai to the Qinzheng Palace to attend the royal family banquet.

Emperor Yongtai refused to go, holding on to the pillar and not letting go.

As a result, Emperor Yongtai complained that he was hungry just after Jia She came back.

When outsiders see him, they think he is the emperor and refuses to feed the emperor.

Jia She saw that Emperor Yongtai was still wearing casual clothes, not even regular clothes.

He smiled and coaxed:

"Today is the first day of the first lunar month. How about you change into new clothes and then go have a meal?"

As long as Jia She is around, Emperor Yongtai will be extremely well-behaved.

"Okay!" He smiled and went to change clothes with Dai Quan.

Jia Cong and Qi Youlu then stepped forward to pay New Year greetings to Emperor Tianxi.

"Uncle Ninth, congratulations on the new year, and wish Uncle Ninth a long life, good luck and happiness!"

Qi Youlu changed his name and repeated what he said.

Emperor Tianxi gave him a purse.

He said with a smile: "Other New Year's gifts were sent to Rongguo Mansion this morning, including those for your second and fourth sisters."

"My little daughter-in-law was sent to the Lin Mansion."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Thank you, Uncle Jiu!"

"Yes, where is the imperial grandmother? Where is the ninth aunt? I want to pay them New Year's greetings."

"Where's Yao'er?"

The Empress Dowager was not in Ningshou Palace at this time, so Jia Cong certainly knew.

Emperor Tianxi smiled and said: "The Queen Mother and your Ninth Aunt are holding a family banquet in Kunde Palace today."

"Yao'er and Xun'er will go to the Qinzheng Hall to accompany your uncles first."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "There are no outsiders, why don't you sit together like last time?"

"Whether it's separated by a bead curtain or a screen, isn't it much more lively?"

Jia She tapped him on the head: "It's okay in normal times, but not today, the first day of the first lunar month. There are regulations."

As he was talking, Emperor Yongtai walked out of the palace with a renewed look.

"Third brother, let's go and have a meal!"

Jia She helped him get on the dragon chariot.

I and Zhongchun Zhongqin were beside the dragon chariot, walking slowly in the wind and snow.

There is naturally a little eunuch behind him holding a snow umbrella.

Emperor Tianxi also got on the dragon chariot.

Jia Cong and Qi Youlu's retinue were by Emperor Tianxi's side.

Emperor Tianxi suddenly turned to Qi Youlu and smiled: "Youlu, do you like the word Jinghe?"

Qi Youlu didn't react for a moment: "Jinghe?"

Jia Cong was overjoyed, this must be the title for the coming Spring Festival.

Judging from the two characters Jinghe, Yingchun should be the princess!

He gently pulled Qi Youlu and said with a smile: "I would like to thank Uncle Jiu for my second sister!"

Only then did Qi Youlu understand, his handsome face turned red: "Thank you, saint!"

Emperor Tianxi smiled and said: "When the family banquet is over, go and thank your Imperial Grandmother and Aunt Ninth."

"The title was decided by your Imperial Grandmother and Aunt Ninth."

It’s really different from last time.

This family banquet at the palace seemed extremely grand and formal.

Zhonghe Shao music, Danbi Da music, and Danbi Qing music were played in sequence.

Emperor Yongtai and Emperor Tianxi sit in the middle.

The remaining princes are arranged on the left and right, followed by the prince's son-in-law, Ma Yibin.

Emperor Yongtai originally held on to Jia She, but he was coaxed for a while before he let go.

After Zhongchun is Jia She's seat.

Tu Yao ranks first among the princes, and he is obviously the invisible prince.

In the future, I will receive the book of treasures, worship my ancestors and report to the temple.

Tu Yao's position will be moved forward, above the princes.

Jia Cong took his seat under the guidance of the young eunuch.

Sitting in front of him is the Crown Prince Chungsoon, and behind him is the Crown Prince Giyong.

Prince Chung-chun and the Crown Prince don’t look much alike.

There is no military spirit in his body, but the demeanor of a refined scholar.

Prince Zhongchun Tufang nodded and smiled at Jia Cong.

"Brother Cong, just follow me when we salute."

Jia Cong quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Fang, for your advice."

The prince generation is fine, but there are only ten of them, and Jia Cong can still distinguish his uncles from uncles.

Even Tu Yao and Tu Nu can't tell the difference between the big rankings of the next generation.

Let alone him.

Therefore, when Jia Cong met the princes and princes who were older than him, he would always call him eldest brother.

Just give it a name.

Of course, Prince Yiyong, who was sitting behind him with his nostrils turned upward, was not among them.

Qi Youlu's seat was further away, sitting together with the Prince Consort Ma Yibin.

The banquet is over in no time.

Jia She first served Emperor Yongtai and returned to Ningshou Palace.

Zhongchun, Zhongqin, Zhongshun accompanied Emperor Tianxi to the side hall to drink tea and talk.

Tu Yao and Tu Yun took Jia Cong and Qi Youlu to Kunde Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen.

The family dinner has dispersed.

The Queen and Princess Zhongshun Princess Zhongshun chatted with the Queen Mother.

Qingheyi and Xiao Cuier are still here.
