In everyone's impression, the current crown prince and step-concubine of the Ming Dynasty has always been known as a virtuous and virtuous woman.
On weekdays, she is virtuous and gentle, and she lives in the East Palace for a long time. She is a model of a woman who cares for her husband and raises her children.
In addition, she was born in the Lu family of Shouzhou, and her family can be traced back to Lu Wenhuan, a famous general in the former Song Dynasty.
This kind of background not only allowed her to enter the Ming Dynasty clan, but also became the crown prince's step-concubine.
And because of this background, Zhu Yunwen gained more or less the attention and expectations of the civil servants in the DPRK and China after the fifteenth year of Hongwu.
They are the same people!
Under the thoughtful gazes of the meritorious generals headed by Lan Yu, and the curious gazes of the civil servants headed by Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe.
Ms. Lu stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and saluted respectfully: "My daughter-in-law wishes your majesty good fortune, good health and long life."
She used her identity as daughter-in-law.
Everyone present looked sideways and eagerly awaited what the crown prince's step-concubine was going to say.
Zhu Yuanzhang also glanced at the prince who was also puzzled, pondered for a moment, and then laughed heartily and said: "We are very good! We have been very relieved to have you as the head of the East Palace these years."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his daughter-in-law with neither salt nor indifference.
The Lu family was not what he wanted. The girl from the Chang Yuchun family of King Kaiping was always the one he was most satisfied with. However, that girl's fate was not false, and her good fortune and longevity were not there.
The old man didn't ask her what she wanted to say when she stood up.
A strange feeling flashed through Lu's heart, and she lowered her eyebrows and looked sideways at Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi who were sitting in the row.
Make up your mind.
Finally, she slowly said: "My daughter-in-law saw that my father mentioned earlier that our children and grandchildren have grown up. A few days ago, the crown prince also said that the children have reached the age of marrying.
Thinking that the children are now older and have indeed reached the age where they should be designated for marriage, my daughter-in-law is blind, so she has no choice but to take advantage of today's happy day to do something even more joyful and ask her father to provide support for the marriage of these two children. The matter is settled. "
Mrs. Lu expressed her feelings in public, which immediately caused a burst of whispers from the civil and military ministers present and the female relatives of the noble family.
Among them, the female relatives of the Honorable Family who were present were looking forward to it the most.
There is no other.
Nowadays, the clan of the Ming Dynasty has always focused on the Xungui family as the first choice for marriage arrangements for their descendants.
Everyone can see clearly that this is the connection between the emperor's family and the nobles in order to win over the nobles.
If not, why did the Crown Princess come from the Chang family and Princess Yan from the Xu family.
Most of the principal concubines of the kings of the clan were women from noble families in the court.
Zhu Yunwen, who was looking at the white-faced actor on the stage, looked back blankly at his mother-in-law.
He didn't know about this beforehand, and for some reason his mother-in-law brought it up in public today.
He couldn't help but look sideways at Zhu Yunxi who was in front of the desk next to him.
I saw Zhu Yunxi holding up the wine glass at this time and raising it slightly towards him.
"Second brother, I'd like to give you a toast."
After speaking, Zhu Yunxi raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
Then he looked deeply at Lu's back.
Zhu Yuanzhang also glanced deeply at Mr. Lu, and then glanced at the Crown Prince in confusion.
"oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang drew out his voice and said calmly: "What you said makes sense. The emperor and his grandson are old, so it's time to decide on a marriage. Otherwise, all the good girls will be taken over by other people's boys?"
As he spoke, he looked at the nobles present with a smile on his face.
Seeing the old man telling a joke, the nobles present echoed in agreement, and the whole place burst into laughter.
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed lightly, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
He looked at Mrs. Lu and said with a smile: "It's time for us to grab the opportunity and find a good girl! I wonder if the Crown Princess has a girl that she likes. Let us know first."
Lu was also prepared and said calmly: "As the saying goes, when you marry a virtuous wife, the relationship between husband and wife is like the harmony of yin and yang, complementing each other. When an emperor or grandson marries a wife, the first priority is whether the woman's conduct is virtuous and decent. We must also pay attention to, Can he be compatible with the emperor's grandson's temperament and complement each other in the future?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement: "That's the truth. Our daughter-in-law can see it clearly."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xungui again and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it. In your family, if there are any girls of the right age, let the princess have a good look, and she must be able to live with the emperor's grandson. Let’s go together.”
Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, who was still eating barbecue with his head down, immediately threw away the meat in his hand after hearing this, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, there are not many others in my family, just the girl. If there are too many, I will bring them all into the palace and let the crown prince choose for the third master. As long as the crown princess and the third master take a fancy to her, I will leave the girl in the third master's house to live her life!"
His words were so vulgar that the female family members who came with him immediately raised their hands and slapped their thighs with reproachful expressions on their faces.
However, Cao Zhen's words were like sparks, which immediately caused the nobles who had girls of the right age to stand up one after another and said that they would send their girls to the palace.
Mrs. Lu nodded her head in greeting and expressed her gratitude.
However, in my heart, I have already complained that these nobles are talking about the third master.
One by one, they can’t wait to stuff all the women in their family into their third master’s house!
Just when she was about to reveal her true purpose.
Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe who had been watching, stood up again: "Your Majesty, the marriage between the emperor and his grandson will complement each other from now on. Prince Guangling has been studying since he was a child, he is pure and gentle, and his marriage should be with a noble woman from the court as his wife, and the yin and yang should be harmonious. .The Prince of Huaiyou County is brave and mighty, so he must have the support of the woman who has passed down the poetry and calligraphy family, and the husband and wife are one."
Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs who was beside Liu Sanwu, immediately raised his head and looked sideways at the scholar, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lu, who was unable to say anything, looked at Liu Sanwu with confusion, and was filled with surprise for a moment.
What she wants today is for Zhu Yunxi to break off his marriage to the Xungui family and let Yunwen get a share of the marriage.
What is the use of reading?
What is the use of civil servants?
When the time comes to use it, it must be used by noble generals with military power.
Lu could see it clearly, but she had never dared to say it out loud since she came forward.
If she said it, it meant that her nature had changed. But if you don't say it, the plan will not succeed.
Just when she was hesitating about how to express her true intention, the scholar from Zhongshu stood up and said everything she wanted to say.
Liu Sanwu glanced at the Crown Princess and the two princes opposite.
No one knows what he is thinking.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu who stood up from time to time.
Several possibilities flashed through his mind, and he looked at the Crown Princess with a normal expression from the corner of his eye.
It was at this time.
A loud bang attracted everyone's attention.
I saw Zhu Yunxi angrily staring at a palace lady kneeling on the ground in front of him: "What are the rules! You, a maid, can't even carry a plate. Who taught you?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi turned around to meet the eyes of everyone present, stood up and faced Zhu Yuanzhang with his fists clasped: "Grandpa, this maid is temporarily transferred to the grandson to make ice cream for the adults in the court. The grandson is usually neglectful. Discipline, Grandpa was shocked, and then my grandson disciplined and punished her!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced lightly at Gong E, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over.
Then he glanced at Zhu Yunxi meaningfully, smiled slightly, and looked at everyone: "This kid is really angry now. If he is punished, we will not dare to eat iced food in the future."
Immediately he looked at Zhu Yunxi and glared: "Let her go down, we are tired too, this drama makes us drowsy. You guys eat and drink while I go back."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang waved, and Sun Gouer, who was waiting by the side, hurried forward and helped the emperor who seemed to be really sleepy and swaying.
When the ministers saw that the emperor was about to leave, they immediately stood up and gathered together, watching the emperor leave respectfully.
Mrs. Lu stared blankly at the old man's leaving figure, feeling countless bitterness in her heart.
She looked back and glared at Gong'e who was kneeling on the ground cleaning up the mess, then sighed helplessly and walked back to her seat.
On the stage in front, the actors had already sung this one-man show to its climax.
With a clanging sound, Guan Yunchang was full of lofty sentiments and ambitions, showing his true qualities as a hero, majestic and mighty.
