The two brothers chatted for a while, and then a eunuch came to ask if they wanted to start serving food and wine.
The sun was already setting in the west now, and it was indeed time for the banquet.
Listening to the voices not far away, it was obvious that Yuan Chun and others had arrived, so Zhu Jingyuan ordered: "Let's have a banquet!"
"yes!"
The eunuch here went down to prepare, but Yuan Chun and others had already arrived. According to etiquette, Zhu Jinghong had to sit at a table alone.
There were three tables in the attic. Zhu Jinghong consciously walked to the table on the left, and the one on the right was reserved for Zhu Yunsheng.
A few breaths later, under the guidance of Yuan Chun and Wang Yi, Zhu Yunsheng and others walked up to the attic.
"Brother Thirteen, why are you here too!" Zhu Yunsheng exclaimed.
"Third sister, what you said is that you don't want to see your thirteenth brother so much?"
Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "In a few months, I will move out of the palace, and it will be difficult for anyone to see me by then!"
In March next year, he will hold a crowning ceremony, and then he will have to move out of the palace. At that time, he will not be able to live in the palace.
After being introduced to the banquet by Yuan Chun, Zhu Yunsheng complained: "Brother Thirteen, I don't mean that. Why do you always misunderstand me!"
At this time, the prince said: "Okay, don't make trouble when we meet, you are not children anymore!"
Zhu Yunsheng looked at the prince and said aggrievedly: "Fourth brother, thirteenth brother always misunderstands me, you have to take care of him!"
Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said: "He is a thick-skinned fellow. How can I control him? You might as well go and ask Father!"
"Fourth brother, what you said is meaningless. Are you so deceptive to your younger brother?"
The three sisters chatted happily, while Baochai and others kept to themselves and sat on the chairs behind Zhu Yunsheng.
"Is that the Thirteenth Master you are talking about?" Qiqige asked Zhen Qin.
In her opinion, the man in front of him was just prettier and taller than the others, and he didn't look like he had the courage to do anything.
At this moment, Zhen Qin was a nymphomaniac again, and she suddenly woke up after hearing Qiqige's words.
Zhen Qin said seriously: "Yes... this is the best warrior in the world, the third son of the current emperor, the thirteenth master of the Ming Dynasty!"
Only a nymphomaniac would add so many names to Zhu Jinghong, which made Baochai and Baochai dumbfounded.
"The number one warrior? I think it's just mediocre!" Qiqige sneered.
"What do you know?" Zhen Qin immediately replied.
Hearing the two people arguing behind him, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but turn around and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Zhen Qin was about to tell the truth, but Baochai took over and said: "Return to the princess, they are talking about Junggar!"
It was inappropriate to discuss what Zhu Jinghong said on this occasion, so Baochai covered it up.
"What's going on in Junggar? Who of you knows what's going on there?" Zhu Jinghong asked curiously.
At this time, Zhen Qin stood up and said in a tone of asking for credit: "Thirteenth Master, of course we know, just because of this, there are Junggar people here, and they look down upon our Ming Dynasty!"
"Oh? Who is it?"
Although he was asking a question, Zhu Jinghong glanced at Qiqige because her temperament was too different.
"That's her!" Zhen Qin pointed at Qiqige.
"Well...they come from afar, so you should take more care of them!"
Originally, Zhu Jinghong planned to ask some questions, but the occasion seemed inappropriate, so he suddenly turned around and said this.
Even if she doesn't deal with Qiqige, since it is Zhu Jinghong's suggestion at this moment, Zhen Qin is the first to respond: "Don't worry, Thirteenth Master, I will take good care of her!"
At this time, Zhu Yunsheng complained: "Brother Thirteen, these are the people in my room, you are too lenient!"
Zhu Jinghong laughed twice, but said nothing, because what Zhu Yunsheng said did make sense.
But at this moment, footsteps sounded again in the attic, but they were Zhu Jingyuan's two sons.
"Hey... nephew, come and sit down quickly!" Zhu Jinghong took the initiative to greet him.
This version of history has nothing to do with Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Zhanji, so the title of "eldest nephew" is quite serious.
Zhu Jinghong's table was relatively empty. When his uncle spoke, the two brothers Zhu Muchun also sat down.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong said: "My nephew, look at you, you know how to study all day long, what can you do when you grow up?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was extremely shocked. Only Qiqige agreed with it and felt that what Zhu Jinghong said was very reasonable.
Just listen to Zhu Muchun's reply: "Thirteenth Uncle, how can you say it's useless to study and learn etiquette and expand your knowledge?"
Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan on the side was very pleased. His son did not disappoint, and he should be relieved that his mother is alive in heaven.
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles... It's not good for you to stay in the study all day long. It would be fun to practice archery and horse riding with your thirteenth uncle when you have time!"
Finally, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't listen anymore and immediately said: "Thirteenth brother, you'd better say less!"
There was no other way, so Zhu Jinghong had to change the subject and talk about things in life with his two nephews.
As the exquisite dishes were served, the sound of music outside sounded, and the banquet officially began.
The two brothers exchanged glasses, and soon they had a jar of wine.
Zhu Jingyuan was already drunk, while Zhu Jinghong was holding the wine jar and wanted to drink more with his brother.
"Thirteenth...Brother, you can't drink any more. We have to host a banquet tomorrow...tomorrow!"
"Hey... just take a nap and you'll be fine. Fourth brother, what are you afraid of!"
"I really...can't drink anymore!"
Hooking Zhu Jingyuan's neck, Zhu Jinghong filled another glass and said, "Fourth brother...it's just a glass of wine. If you don't drink, you won't give your brother face!"
The two brothers were drinking, and the female relatives present were at another table. Yuanchun couldn't stand the situation anymore.
"Thirteenth brother, please spare your fourth brother. Look, he's unconscious!" Yuanchun said.
The more "intimate" Wang Yi stood up and walked towards the prince and took the tea cup from his hand.
"Thirteenth brother, you can't drink any more, the prince's body and bones can't bear it!"
Zhu Jinghong didn't care, but seeing that the prince was really not doing well, he picked up the wine jar and walked away.
While Yuanchun and the others were taking care of the prince, Zhu Jinghong walked towards Zhu Yunsheng and the others.
"Third sister, let's have a drink!"
"Brother Thirteen, I'll have tea instead of wine, please!" Zhu Yunsheng was extremely free and easy.
"please!"
After the two drank one glass, Zhu Jinghong filled another glass with the strength of the wine, and then looked for Baochai behind him.
"Miss Xue, Master Xue... I have to give you a toast!"
Hearing this sentence, Baochai was frightened. She was not qualified to let Zhu Jinghong toast.
Zhen Qin, on the other hand, had already taken the initiative to refill the cup, waiting for Zhu Jinghong to find her next.
Baochai stood up and took two steps back, his expression full of panic: "Master Thirteen, a little girl can't afford this!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and reached out to hold Baochai, but unexpectedly, he took a few steps back.
"Master Thirteen...please respect yourself!" Baochai mustered up the courage to say this.
Although she was devoted to Zhu Jinghong, being teased in front of so many people was something she couldn't accept.
At this moment, Zhu Yunsheng put his hands on his hips and said, "Brother Thirteen, don't bully Sister Bao, or I'll sue you!"
Thinking of the old man's face, Zhu Jinghong suddenly became more awake.
"Third sister, Miss Xue taught me how to play chess, so she is considered my teacher. Isn't it right for a disciple to respect his teacher?" Zhu Jinghong argued forcefully.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunsheng said coldly: "Brother Thirteen, if I don't want to drink with you, can the apprentice embarrass the master?"
"Um...it seems to make sense!"
Based on this, Zhu Jinghong turned around and looked at Baochai with an apology on his face: "Miss Xue... it was Zhu who was abrupt, don't blame me!"
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong retreated, intending to talk to his two nephews about life.
This disappointed Zhen Qin, who was watching eagerly, and sighed why Thirteenth Master didn't come to have a drink with her. She had a lot to say to him.
However, at this moment, Qi Qige picked up the wine glass and walked straight towards Zhu Jinghong. When passing by the wine table, she also picked up a jar of wine.
"Master Thirteen, I want to have a few drinks with you!"
