capital ancestral temple
Autumn is the autumn festival, and every family worships their ancestors.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, together with all the princes and grandsons, knelt in the ancestral temple.
The scene was extremely grand.
Anyway, there are many more living people in the room than those few memorial tablets.
Lao Zhu can say that there are not many named ancestors, and he can catch up to his grandparents even if he fights to the death.
but,
With Lao Zhu's speed of creating people, after three or four generations, the Zhu family's ancestral temple will be enough.
Just a hundred years of effort is more than someone's ancestors accumulated over hundreds of years.
Zhu Yuanzhang knelt in front,
He looked solemnly and said,
"Xiongying is not here this time,
Dad, Mom, please don’t blame me.
I wish your great-grandson a good life in Jiangnan. "
Zhu Yuanzhang kowtowed, and the young Zhus behind him all kowtowed.
It's not that troublesome for Lao Zhu's family to worship their ancestors. After kowtowing a few times, it's done.
Zhu Yuanzhang took Queen Ma and invited Xiao Zhu to have a meal together.
This is also one of the few opportunities for these princes to have dinner with their father in the past year.
"Chongba, you go over first.
I'll go back to Xianning Palace. "
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,
"What's wrong? Girl?"
Queen Ma smiled and said,
"It's okay. The wind is too cold. I'll get some clothes."
"Just ask someone to pick it up, why are you going through all the trouble?"
Queen Ma said,
"It's just a matter of walking two steps. I can just go by myself."
Zhu Yuanzhang knew Empress Ma's temper and would not use maids casually.
He nodded and said,
"Sister, do you need us to accompany you?"
"No, you go ahead."
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
Queen Ma nodded and headed towards Xianning Palace.
Walk to Xianning Palace,
I found that the palace door of Xianning Palace was not closed tightly.
Empress Ma frowned slightly, it was impossible for her to make such a mistake, and in the harem, she could come in so openly,
definitely is...
"mother!"
There was a noise in the palace, and a woman in her thirties with a similar face to Queen Ma ran out and threw herself into Queen Ma's arms.
Queen Ma said in surprise,
"Qing'er!"
The woman in Xianning Palace is the fourth daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
Princess Anqing, Zhu Qinger.
Princess Anqing stuck out her tongue,
coquettishly said,
"Mom, I missed you so much that I came back~"
For a girl like Princess Anqing who got married, Lao Zhu did not regard himself as an emperor, but really regarded it as a marriage between two families.
The husband sings and the wife follows,
Naturally, he followed the consort back to his hometown.
so,
Princess Anqing has basically no chance to return to Beijing except for the New Year.
Queen Ma felt something was wrong.
His tone became much more serious,
"Qinger,
Today, every family worships their ancestors,
If you don't follow your husband at home to worship your ancestors, why are you going back to the capital? ! "
Empress Ma's harsh tone made Princess Anqing freeze in place.
Princess Anqing's eyes turned red when she felt aggrieved.
But Queen Ma's expression did not ease at all.
"Mom, I, I just missed you, so I came back to Beijing."
Seeing her daughter like this, Queen Ma's heart was not iron-clad.
He said in a slightly slower tone,
"Did Ouyang Lun bully you?"
When Zhu Qing'er heard this, her tears turned into laughter.
Roll up your sleeves,
Jiao shouted,
"He dares!"
Queen Ma shook her head. Ouyang Lun was born as a commoner and passed the Jinshi examination to enter the palace.
This son's talent, posture, and conversation were excellent, and he was immediately attracted by Lao Zhu. Ouyang Lun was also the first prince-in-law born in white in the Ming Dynasty.
Even if Ouyang Lun doesn't take it seriously,
A princess from the Tian family, a common scholar,
Such a big gap is obvious,
Therefore, Ouyang Lun obeys Zhu Qing'er in everything, and Zhu Qing'er's character is also very unruly.
Ouyang Lun seemed to be worshiping a great Bodhisattva at home.
"Besides! His family has nothing to worship their ancestors!"
When Empress Ma heard this, her face instantly fell.
shouted,
"Kneel down!"
Zhu Qing'er subconsciously knelt on the ground, her eyes full of fear.
In the past, Lao Zhu beat Lao Er and Lao San, but he couldn't free up his hands at all. Moreover, Lao Zhu beat his son to death, but doted on his daughter to death.
so,
The princess is basically under the supervision of Queen Ma.
Queen Ma rarely uses her hands, but if she does, she can beat these princesses in a way that they will never forget.
Queen Ma's tone was more serious than ever before,
“Can you understand something?!
Your husband is worshiping his ancestors, and the whole family is there, but you are not.
They don't say anything on the surface, but they don't poke your husband's back behind his back? !
What did you take him for? ! Still not your husband! "
Zhu Qing'er lowered her head, her tears falling to the ground.
She was extremely wronged,
I went all the way from Shaanxi to Beijing just to surprise my mother.
What can be exchanged for?
A slap in the face!
Queen Ma was so angry that her hands trembled uncontrollably.
“The girls who get married in our family can’t even respect their husband’s parents after they get married!
Where do you want your mother's old face to go? !
Your father has talked about so many in-laws, whether it’s the second brother and the others, or your second sister and the others,
They are all here to lead a good life for the couple!
How about you, don’t you even understand this rule? !
If your father goes to talk about marriage again in the future, will everyone think that your father is here to bully others? !
Just because he is the emperor, he sends unruly and unruly girls out? !
Yes or no? ! "
Zhu Qing'er was trembling all over,
He lowered his head and said,
"No, it's not."
"Go back right now! I'll find you the fastest carriage!"
Queen Ma pointed outside the palace door.
Zhu Qing'er choked and climbed up, staggering towards the outside of the palace.
A trace of distress flashed in Queen Ma's eyes,
But there is no way,
Compassion does not rule the house;
This time Zhu Qing'er really went too far!
You just don’t take your husband’s family seriously!
By chance,
Zhu Yuanzhang strode in. After seeing Zhu Qing'er,
He said with great joy,
"Qing'er?!"
Then, he held Zhu Qing'er tightly in his arms.
Zhu Qing'er couldn't suppress her grievance any longer and burst into tears.
Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly,
"Hey, why are you crying? Who bullied you! Tell us!
Dad, take it out on you! "
Zhu Qing'er didn't speak, just cried.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma blankly,
"Did your mother train you to be like this?"
Queen Ma said angrily,
"How did you come?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly,
"We saw you had been gone for so long, so we followed you."
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Qing'er and winked at Queen Ma to please,
Sister, okay, let’s just go there.
Queen Ma snorted coldly,
"Ask your girl yourself! What good things have you done?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was not stupid, he figured it out instantly.
Why is Zhu Qing'er in the capital at this time?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked seriously, holding Zhu Qing'er's shoulders,
asked,
"Qing'er, what's going on?"
Zhu Qing'er lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little red,
"Qing'er, you didn't worship your ancestors at your husband's house? Did you go to Beijing directly?"
Zhu Qinger nodded.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, his face turned red instantly.
Don't say that our in-laws are a commoner family. No matter who the in-laws are, doing this is too much.
Ancestor worship is the biggest event of the year.
Isn’t our girl slapping her husband’s face?
