Zhao Xuanyi smiled
"My name is Zhao Xuanyi. It's my first time to meet you. What an honor!" When Tang Mi heard Zhao Xuanyi's name, her beautiful eyebrows moved, and then she asked with a smile.
"Are you General Li's son-in-law and Lord Zhao Mingqing's second son?"
"Have you heard of me?" Zhao Xuanyi asked happily.
"Of course! Li Hanyan's husband, who doesn't know about it in the entire Ming Dynasty?" After Tang Mi finished speaking, there was a cold breath in her tone.
"Second Young Master, long time no see!" Li Hanrui heard Tang Mi's voice and turned around helplessly.
"Miss Tang, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful!" Tang Mi smiled slightly.
"Second Young Master is still as sweet as ever, but I really didn't expect that your sister's marriage would be so sudden. When we knew the news, it had already been a month, so I apologize for not coming to congratulate you!" Li Hanrui Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Xuanyi beat him to it.
"I'm sorry, Miss Tang, but if you want to apologize, it's simple. After the banquet, we can just have a drink!" Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi and thought to himself, you are really looking for death!
"Okay! As long as Mr. Zhao is happy!" Tang Mi said with a smile.
"I'm happy, can I not be happy?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile. Tang Mi's eyes were full of doubts. It was rumored that Zhao Xuanyi was a very powerful figure. He led less than a hundred men to repel a thousand troops in the border area, and he was also very talented in literature in the capital!
But after seeing it today, why is it so different from the rumors? How do you think this is an ignorant and ignorant person?
Not long after, a man walked into the hall. He walked in with a smile. He was wearing a green robe and his clothes were very simple. When everyone saw this man coming, they stood up hurriedly and bowed. After saluting, Li Hanrui and Li Yukun also stood up and bowed. Zhao Xuanyi also hurriedly saluted. Although he didn't know who this was, he should be an important person!
"See the Fourth Prince!" everyone shouted loudly. man smiles
"My lords, long time no see. No courtesy, please feel free to do as you please! My father is hosting a banquet for all ministers today. It is nothing more than having fun with the people. Everyone, sit down!" After the man finished speaking, he walked to a few separate seats in front with a smile and sat down. !
Zhao Xuanyi took a look and found that the fourth prince looked very ordinary! He has a popular face, but his smile gives people a very close feeling, like the big brother next door. He has a kind smile on his face, which makes people feel good. He hurriedly asked
"Who is this fourth prince?"
"The fourth prince, Zhu Moxian, was born to a concubine. Since there is no power behind him, he is the least powerful among the princes. Basically no one regards him as a rival. Zhu Moxian is also very humorous. Regardless of government affairs, he is the least powerful one. Talking about Sheji, he reads in his room every day, he is very knowledgeable!" Li Hanrui said hurriedly.
"Oh! He turns out to be a serious scholar, no wonder he looks so harmless to humans and animals!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, looking at this guy reminded him of a star, such a warm man!
Zhu Moxian had just sat down, and another person came in at the door. He had seen Zhu Moxian, and looked at this person again. The feeling was completely different. The purple and loose robe could not cover up his fat body. He was still walking around. When I moved, my belly began to shake first, which looked a little funny!
Looking at the face again, good guy, he has a round face, two meatball eyes, two fat cheeks, and a catfish mouth. This has nothing to do with his appearance, but with his figure. No matter how he looks, he looks like Zhu Bajie. It’s like going down to earth!
After everyone saw it, they stood up to greet him.
"Meet the fifth prince!" Only then did Zhao Xuanyi realize that it was the fifth prince, otherwise he would have thought he was a pig!
The fifth prince waved to everyone, and then came to Ye Yuanzhi with a smile.
"Uncle, I give you my regards!" He is wide and fat, and his voice is loud and angry. He is full of confidence!
Ye Yuanzhi smiled
"My nephew is very domineering and handsome today with his purple energy coming from the east!"
"Hahaha! Thank you uncle for the compliment. I'll go over first. Let's talk after the party is over!" After that, he walked forward.
Zhao Xuanyi kicked Li Hanrui's feet
"Why did the fifth prince call him Uncle Ye Yuanzhi?"
"The fifth prince Zhu Xinhao was born to Concubine Yongning Ye Xiaofei. Ye Xiaofei is Ye Yuanzhi's biological sister, so Ye Yuanzhi is naturally his uncle!" Li Hanyan explained.
After Zhao Xuanyi listened, he nodded.
"It turns out he is Ye Yuanzhi's nephew! No wonder!" Zhao Xuanyi snorted. Zhu Xinhao came to Zhu Moxian and smiled slightly
"Fourth brother, you're here early!" Zhu Moxian smiled.
"Fifth brother, are you worried about anything lately? See how you have lost so much weight?"
"Humph, the food is not good. Why don't you, Fourth Brother, eat in your room every day? It must taste good, right?" Zhu Xinhao asked with a arrogant look.
"Naturally, I have never heard that there is a golden house in the book, a free herb hall in the book, and there are all kinds of flavors in the book, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and so on. Fifth brother, why don't you try it when you have time?" Zhu Moxian asked with a smile.
"It's not to your liking, leave it to Fifth Brother!" After Zhu Xinhao finished speaking, he sat on the table next to Zhu Moxian.
Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, there is such a thing as Concubine Yongning. It is estimated that Zhu Xinhao must be very favored. She can tell just by looking at her figure. This is the first time she has seen such a figure in this world.
Just as Zhu Xinhao sat down, another person walked in at the door. He saw that this person was not alone. He was followed by a beautiful woman. The man had a face like a crown jewel, handsome appearance, and was wearing a golden gown that was majestic and handsome. People couldn't help but see it. My eyes light up!
Everyone stood up quickly
"See the prince!" After Zhao Xuanyi heard it, he realized that this was the prince Zhu Zhelin? His eldest brother Zhao Xuanli works under him?
Today I saw a live one! Although Zhao Xuanyi doesn't know much about this prince Zhu Zhelin, looking at his style and appearance, he is much better than the two just now!
At least you can see the aura of king in him! Zhu Zhelin took the princess and sat on the seat in front of Zhu Moxian and Zhu Xinhao. The noble Zhu Zhelin did not greet the two brothers, and the two did not speak. It seemed that there was some kind of tacit understanding between the three of them!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the top. In addition to the throne at the top, there were four seats below, two on each side, and an empty table on the left next to the throne. Now the prince has made three of these four seats, and there are One is vacant.
"Whose seat is that?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"It should belong to the Seventh Prince Zhu Wenyu! But this prince has been away from the capital all year round, and I don't know if he will come back this time!" Li Hanrui said.
"Zhu Wenyu? He's not in the capital?" Zhao Xuanyi didn't understand very much. Where did a prince go when he was not in the capital?
"The seventh prince is naturally undisciplined. He likes to travel around the world and travel far and wide with his sword. He doesn't like the complicated government affairs, so he doesn't stay in the capital!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded. This is a soul that has chosen freedom!
A moment later, Zhu Yuejun was seen walking slowly from the gate wearing a white gauze skirt with four maids. All civil and military officials hurriedly stood up to greet her, and even several princes stood up and saluted.
"Meet the eldest princess!" Zhu Yuejun didn't say anything, but walked to his seat. When he passed by Li Yukun, he saw Zhao Xuanyi. Zhao Xuanyi found that Zhu Yuejun was looking at him, and was trembling with fright. He thought to himself, what are you looking at me for?
Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's scared look, Zhu Yuejun smiled happily, but did not stop and continued walking forward. He came to sit next to the throne and turned to look at Nanzhu.
Nanzhu takes a step forward
"Excuse me, my lords!"
"Thank you, Princess!" Everyone then sat down. Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, although he knew that Zhu Yuejun was the eldest princess, he had never seen this guy with such a royal air. Today, he saw it. He is really a queen!
But everyone knew that the eldest princess was here, and the emperor was probably not far away. Everyone stopped talking in a tacit understanding, and the whole hall was very quiet!
Zhu Yuejun looked at the seats below. Three of the four princes' seats were occupied. Zhu Yuejun's face looked somewhat disappointed.
"The Emperor has arrived!" A loud voice came into the hall! Everyone hurriedly stood up and knelt down
"See the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" the crowd shouted. Zhao Xuanyi also knelt down, but did not dare to raise his head. In ancient times, there was no emperor to speak. If you dare to raise your head, it proves that you are suspected of assassinating the king and killing the king. You will directly behead the nine tribes. Zhao Xuanyi does not dare to cause this trouble!
I saw two people walking in from outside the main hall. Emperor Zhu Chufeng and Queen Zhang Huairu walked into the main hall. They were dressed in extremely luxurious golden coats. When the two people walked in, an invisible aura spread instantly, scaring everyone. Although It’s a birthday, but this kingly aura is really unbearable!
Zhao Xuanyi also felt that his heart was very unstable. Could it be that this was the emperor's domineering power? This is the first time I have realized that it is really not a cover-up!
After the emperor and queen passed by, followed by the great eunuch Wang Jingrong, followed by several young eunuchs and several good-looking maids, they came to the throne. Zhu Chufeng sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the civil and military officials below.
"All my dear friends, stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Queen!" Everyone stood up and sat down, but it was completely different from before. Everyone was serious, no one was whispering to each other, and they all had serious expressions on their clothes!
Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, he knew he was here to celebrate his birthday, but those who didn't know thought he was here to mourn! By the way, what time is it?
Aren't you ready to eat yet? Aren't any of you hungry? Turning his head to secretly look at the emperor and queen on the high platform, Zhao Xuanyi was shocked when he saw that the emperor Zhu Chufeng didn't look very good!
He has a popular face, with a beard on his face. I'm sorry, but I can't pick out which one is good-looking or distinctive. Any emperor in the TV series is more handsome than this one, but the kingly aura on his face is really Yes!
And the queen...? Okay, I was wrong. This appearance really matches the emperor. His face is a little bloated and very rich. I can only describe it this way. He is not as good-looking as his wife, and he is much worse than Ziyuan. The emperor is also the most respected person in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. , why did you fall in love with this person?
I must believe that she is Zhu Xinhao’s mother Zhao Xuanyi! Zhu Chufeng turned to look at Zhu Yuejun who was standing aside.
"Yue-kun, let's start!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yuejun stood up slowly
"My emperor's birthday banquet begins now!" As Zhu Yuejun finished speaking, the band on the side began to play music, and waves of beautiful melodies entered the ears.
And as the music came to mind, a group of palace maids walked in outside, holding various delicacies in their hands. Zhao Xuanyi was so excited when he saw it, and finally came. He hadn't eaten since the morning, and now it was already the afternoon, so he could finally eat. Something!
The maids thoughtfully took away the fruits and teapots from the table, and then placed delicious dishes on the table. After all the tables were filled with dishes, the maids all evacuated!
The expression on Zhao Xuanyi's face changed from the initial excitement and anticipation to surprise and shock. There were three dishes on the table, a plate of fried pork, a plate of fish, a plate of vegetarian fried spinach, and a plate of fish. Pot of wine!
Nothing but these three dishes and a bottle of wine! Looking at the countless slices of meat and a fish as long as the palm of his hand on the plate, Zhao Xuanyi began to doubt his life. Why are you feeding the cat?
Are the chefs one of those stingy chefs from Michelin? Just plant some vegetables? Where's the rice? Is there unlimited refills of rice?
What's going on? What about the food in the imperial dining room? What about the royal taste? Who are you trying to fool? You didn’t use me as money?
Wang Jingrong poured wine for Zhu Chufeng, and Zhu Chufeng raised his glass.
"Today is my birthday. Thank you very much for coming, dear friends. You don't have to be constrained by etiquette today. You and your ministers will have fun together. Cheers!"
"I wish the emperor may you be as blessed as the East Sea and live longer than the Southern Mountains!" everyone shouted, and then drank a glass of wine! Zhao Xuanyi's face was filled with despair, and he turned to look at Li Hanrui.
"Don't tell me, are all the dishes served?" Li Hanrui covered his mouth and smiled.
"I asked you to eat a few sesame seed cakes a long time ago, but you refused to accept them. Now you know what's going on? Do you think you are here to eat at the palace banquet?"
"if not?"
"A palace banquet is nothing more than the emperor giving a favor to the civil and military officials, and the civil and military officials come to the banquet to give the emperor a favor. Everyone pays attention to etiquette. Although the emperor and his ministers enjoy the same, their identities can never be changed. Coming here is a worldly thing. See Watch dances, listen to music, and drink a few glasses of wine, it's just a formality, why don't you go to a restaurant?" This is not Li Hanrui's first time here, so he naturally understands these things!
