Zhu Houcong was still a little unconvinced just now, but now that he saw the Wanshou Yi, he could only shut his mouth and dare not question it.
No one would suspect that Zhu Houzhao was lying on this matter. After all, the royal family had the dignity of the royal family. No matter how shameless Zhu Houzhao was, he would not dare to risk the name of the common people to put money on his family's face.
Because once the fraud is exposed, not only the prince's face will be lost, but even the faces of Emperor Hongzhi and the Queen Mother Zhou will probably be dimmed.
Seeing Empress Dowager Zhou's expression, Zhu Houzhao's figure was shining with pride and his face was extremely proud. He could tell that his great-grandmother was very satisfied with the gift.
Chen Ziyu on the side tugged on Zhu Houzhao's sleeve, and while others were not paying attention, he said in a very low voice: "Your Highness, stop showing off, I still have gifts to give!"
Chen Ziyu is so anxious. A lot of money has been invested in the western suburbs workshop, and now the goods are piled up so much that the warehouse can hardly hold them anymore.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately!
Immediately gave Chen Ziyu a reassuring look!
Then he picked up the box containing cod liver oil, walked to the Queen Mother Zhou, knelt down on his knees with his hands clasped in fists, and said loudly:
"Twenty thousand miles of mountains and rivers. Since ancient times, it has never been known that one dynasty can unite 20,000 miles of mountains and rivers."
"The seventy-year holy life span will last for eight thousand nine hundred and thirty years from now on."
"My great-grandson Houzhao presented cod liver oil. I wish my great-grandmother Feng good health and continuous blessings!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who had just been shocked were stunned again!
What is this cod liver oil?
What's going on with this couplet?
In particular, all the civil servants were eagerly wondering where the couplet mentioned by the prince came from!
It's a pity that no one can find the answer!
Even Emperor Hongzhi on the stage was secretly frightened. He knew exactly what level his son was at.
If you say that this couplet was written by the prince, Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it even to death!
Emperor Hongzhi himself was a man who read a lot of poetry and books. Regardless of whether he was a Jinshi or not, at least his vision was not too bad!
On the surface, this couplet is congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday, but in fact, it is secretly flattering me!
If this couplet was written by someone else, it would have been offered as a treasure. How could it be given to the prince?
There is only one explanation!
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Chen Ziyu, and sure enough!
Chen Ziyu looked like the old god was there, without any trouble, with a faint smile on his face.
Emperor Hongzhi was quite moved!
For such a good gift to be handed over to the prince for the limelight, this cannot be described as generous!
Silly son-in-law!
After thinking this, Emperor Hongzhi looked deeply at the audience. He saw a red-faced Chen Rui whispering to the left and right from the crowd, but no one seemed to pay attention to him.
I saw him chattering happily alone.
yes!
Anyone who has such a son would probably go crazy with joy!
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi felt a trace of jealousy in his heart. How great it would be if Ziyu's surname was Zhu!
The thought flashed away, and Emperor Hongzhi remembered what Daoxuan Zhenren of Longquan Temple had said, that the prince is the king of tomorrow, and Chen Ziyu is the capable official sent by God to assist the prince!
Emperor Hongzhi nodded secretly.
"Huzhao! My dear grandson! Come to grandma!"
Queen Mother Zhou said with tears in her eyes, movingly!
As a woman, she did not have as many ideas as Emperor Hongzhi. She only hoped to see her descendants grow up healthily and make the Ming Dynasty more powerful in the future.
The prince's current behavior seemed to be a different person in the eyes of Queen Mother Zhou. Although he still had the temper of a young man, he had changed a lot!
As long as the prince gets better, there will be successors to the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Houzhao, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately got up and walked towards the Queen Mother Zhou with a smile on his face while holding the cod liver oil.
"Great-grandmother, this cod liver oil is something that great-grandson and Lao Chen worked hard to develop. It is made from precious medicines. Take it to strengthen your body and prolong your life!"
Zhu Houzhao did not forget to take the opportunity to introduce cod liver oil, after all, he would rely on it to take money out of everyone's pockets!
"Huzhao, Ziyu, you two are interested!" Empress Dowager Zhou smiled kindly.
Zhu Houzhao glanced around with the corner of his eye and found that Zhu Houcong had retreated behind King Xing at some point, looking a little lonely.
It's true that the little Taoist originally thought that this kind of occasion was his personal show, but he didn't expect that the current prince had changed so much and completely suppressed him.
However, the little Taoist priest was a little lucky in his heart that he didn’t take out the couplets he had prepared so hard in advance, otherwise he would be embarrassed and thrown into his grandma’s house!
Comparing it with the couplets that the prince had read, the little Taoist priest found that the couplets that he had carefully studied for more than a month and then wrote were not bullshit!
"Great-grandmother, Lao Chen and my sister have also prepared gifts. How about letting him take them out and present them to great-grandmother in person?"
Zhu Houzhao said tentatively.
As a prince, there is nothing wrong with presenting gifts in person, but Chen Ziyu is just a prince-in-law and is not qualified to do so. After all, those princes only appear on the gift list and are not qualified to present gifts in person.
"This..." Queen Mother Zhou hesitated. She had no objection to this matter, but considering the thoughts of other noble ministers, Queen Mother Zhou looked at Emperor Hongzhi beside her.
Emperor Hongzhi saw the questioning look in Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes, so he said with a smile: "Grandma, Xiurong is the legitimate daughter of my grandson, so she is naturally qualified to offer gifts in person, so let Ziyu do it for you!"
As soon as these words came out, they perfectly blocked the jealous thoughts of others. After all, Chen Ziyu represented Princess Taikang's gift.
Moreover, no matter whether it was emotional or rational, Emperor Hongzhi would let Chen Ziyu show his face.
After all, without Chen Ziyu's help, Zhu Houzhao would not have been able to steal the show like this. Secondly, the soaps and perfumes in Chen Ziyu's gifts were all products of workshops in the western suburbs.
Xijiao Workshop owns 50% of its shares. If it can make money early, it can also enrich its own funds!
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi had resolved the potential embarrassment with just a few words, Queen Mother Zhou smiled leisurely and nodded at Chen Ziyu.
"Ziyu, let Aijia see what you and Xiurong have prepared!"
When Chen Ziyu saw this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order!"
After taking a long breath, Chen Ziyu picked up the perfume and soap beside him and came to the Queen Mother Zhou. Following Zhu Houzhao's behavior just now, he spoke respectfully and congratulated her in a decent manner.
Perhaps it was a woman's nature. Although Queen Mother Zhou had seen countless rare treasures, this was the first time she saw things like perfume and soap. Suddenly, her face became more curious, and she quickly asked:
"Ziyu, what...what does this perfume and soap do?"
