Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 435

It is very important for the family to celebrate Lao Zhu's birthday happily.Because tomorrow is Lao Zhu's birthday, by then it will no longer be a matter of this small family, it will also be a major event of the court, and it can even be regarded as a major event of the world.

"Ying'er, we heard that the bank is still short of some money." Princess Ning Guo was a little worried, and said to Xiao Zhu, "There is still some money in our house, why don't you ask someone to move it there."

Little Zhu rushed out all of a sudden, and said with a stern face, "Auntie, we are Yin'er, and our father is the emperor!"

Zhu Zhu pulled Xiaozhu with a smile, and said, "Your father is not allowed to be Yinger? When your father was young, we always called him Yinger! Besides, you are Yiner, and your father is Yinger. Different."

"It's the same, we don't understand it anymore." Little Zhu lay on Zhu Zhu's lap, and said aggrievedly, "My little aunt, grandpa, and great-grandfather even said that they don't want to call me Da Yinger anymore."

Facing this living treasure, Zhu Yunying was also helpless.Children are inherently jealous and are more attached to those close to them.In fact, those who can make Xiao Zhu care about are basically the closest elders.Other elders, those people can't call Xiao Zhu by his name when they face Xiao Xiao Zhu, they can only call him 'His Royal Highness the Prince'.

"As good as his father, he knows how to compete for favor in front of us." Old Zhu said cheerfully to his daughters, "We remember when we were young, the emperor didn't allow us to hug other princes, right?"

Princess Ningguo didn't have a deep impression of this, but Zhu Zhu knew, "Father, we remember something like this. The queen mother also said before that the emperor was estimated to be one or two years old at that time. If the father hugged other princes , he just stared at it. Even if he didn’t speak, he wasn’t happy.”

This made Zhu Yunying a little embarrassed. He didn't cry or fight for favor at that time, mainly because he couldn't wipe his face.It just seems that the performance seems to be more subtle, but it is also seen by others.

"The queen mother said a lot before that the emperor had a lot of thoughts. He was brought up by the emperor father and the empress mother. It's fine for the emperor brother and the emperor's wife to hold Xi'er and Yue'er, and the emperor is also happy. But the emperor father and the empress mother hold The emperor is not happy with other people." Zhu Zhu continued to tease, saying, "At that time, the queen mother will not hug other people, only the emperor."

Princess Ningguo immediately followed suit and said, "When the imperial sister said this, we also remembered it. We remember that the queen mother was the most friendly before, and the emperor's younger brother and the emperor's sister also liked the mother the most. We can't remember it. Don't hug anyone else."

Old Zhu smiled even more happily, pointed at Zhu Yunying and said, "Even with this kid, everyone says he is precocious. He doesn't cry when he can't speak, and looks around all day long. Just thinking about it all day, you guys The queen mother is also holding on to this kid, so she won't hug anyone else."

Seeing that Lao Zhu was in a good mood, Zhu Zhu continued, "The emperor has always liked you since he was a child. We seem to remember that the empress mother used to visit the emperor every day in the East Palace. After you two thought about it, the emperor hugged him. Qianqing Palace. We remember that the emperor's brother and his sister-in-law said it countless times, but they were all blocked by the father and mother."

Lao Zhu was even more proud. The first eldest grandson already liked it, not to mention the very smart grandson, and it would be difficult not to bring him with him.

Zhu Yunying pointed to little Zhu, and said, "Look at this, Grandpa Huang has also been hugged. Now the time spent in the East Palace is not as good as in Qianqing Palace. It is common for us not to see him for two or three days. If Grandpa Huang said, I can't live without this kid for a day."

Little Zhu is very proud, because he knows that he is the most favored cub.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't stay idle, so he asked the maid to carry the sleeping Zhu Wenqi to the side hall, and he asked, "Brother Emperor, grandpa's birthday will be tomorrow."

"You?" Zhu Yunying said angrily and amusedly, "You are already in your twenties, and you are so careless? You can do whatever other people do, with your fifth uncle taking the lead and following Yun Wen. We're busy tomorrow, so I don't want to mention you."

Old Zhu didn't bother to talk to Zhu Yunxi, he just hugged little Zhu and asked, "Yin'er, your great-grandfather will have his birthday tomorrow, do you know what to do?"

Xiao Zhu was full of confidence and said, "Grandfather Gao, our father and our mother have already talked about it. We all remember it, and we will definitely not make mistakes."

Little Zhu started presenting treasures again and said, "Father ordered, tomorrow is a big banquet!"

The Grand Banquet, also known as the Great Feast, is the highest level of ancient banquets, and was held in the Han, Tang and Song dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were four types of banquets: big banquets, medium banquets, regular banquets, and small banquets. The big banquet was a kind of Jiali in the Ming Dynasty, and it was usually held when the country had major celebrations or festivals such as Zhengdan and Winter Solstice.The banquet is hosted by the Ministry of Rites and prepared by Guanglu Temple.

And Lao Zhu's birthday is naturally a major celebration, so of course it needs to be done.

Little Zhu said happily, "Tomorrow, our great-grandfather and our father are going to Fengtian Hall. We will wait outside until our great-grandfather and father are ascended to the throne, and we will lead the kings to the hall."

Lao Zhu was very relieved, and pointed to Zhu Yunxi, "Your nephew knows the ritual process, but you don't?! You didn't think much when you were young, and you are still like this now?! Let's see, now you have your emperor brother to protect you. Watching you, maybe your nephew will protect you in the future."

Zhu Yunxi didn't care either, and said with a smile, "That's fine, anyway, we won't worry about it for the rest of our lives."

Old Zhu lost his temper, and immediately said to Little Zhu, "Then let's get up early tomorrow. Before we go to Fengtian Hall, you have to accompany us to Huagai Hall. We will change the court clothes there, and there will be visits by the court deacons. .You go there with us, and you will also be paid homage."

Zhu Yunying didn't even bother to say anything. Little Zhu was very familiar with the three main halls in the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty.In some seats reserved for the emperor, little Zhu was either held by Lao Zhu, or Lao Zhu sat on the throne, and Xiao Zhu sat on Lao Zhu's lap.

"But our father said, we have to be good tomorrow." Little Zhu was very distressed, and said to Lao Zhu, "Grandfather, we can no longer wear dragon robes tomorrow, otherwise it will be bad."

Old Zhu was even more relieved, and quickly said to Xiao Zhu, "We also know about this. For insignificant occasions, we will wear dragon robes for you. We will definitely not for such occasions. When the time comes, you can just wear the prince's court clothes." Well, stronger than your uncle."

"Our father also said, we must be the most obedient tomorrow." Little Zhu leaned in Lao Zhu's arms and said, "My father said, let us praise."

Old Zhu's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's good! Your father liked to be lazy since he was a child, but he was incompetent. Then let's pay homage to him. Your father and your second uncle are just as incompetent, so let's point at our Yin'er and show us Thanks."

Little Zhu's fighting spirit was high in an instant. Like many children, she is the most motivated and likes to be encouraged and praised the most.

And Zhu Yunying didn't care about some things at all, just drank wine, ate vegetables, and chatted with Mei Yin, Liu Xie, Zhu Yunxie and Feng Cheng.As for what is being arranged by Lao Zhu now, there is nothing to care about at all, Lao Zhu is coaxing Xiao Xiaozhu.

"Our Yin'er is the most powerful. If we live two more years, we can see that our Yin'er will share your father's worries." Lao Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu and said with full expectation, "Let's fight for more Live for a few years, and we will arrange some tasks for you when the time comes, so we can practice our hands. Your father is at your age, and he has also started to do things."

Zhu Yunying was speechless, and looked back at Lao Zhu, "Grandfather, we have nothing to do in Yin'er for half a year. We remember the marriage between our little aunt and uncle, so we have intervened. But even if it is like this, we will give it to you and me." Royal father complained a lot."

Lao Zhu suddenly became energetic again. Although the family members knew what was going on, as long as he could show his grandson's precocity and intelligence, what Lao Zhu could do was to publicize it again.

So everyone listened carefully and cooperatively. For example, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu misjudged the person and believed Ouyang Lun. If Xiao Zhu Congying hadn't seen through Ouyang Lun's character, Zhu Zhu and Liu Cha would definitely not be together.

As for that Ouyang Lun, who was a Jinshi, a county magistrate, and a magistrate in those years, those who didn't know thought that Jane was promoted quickly in the heart of the emperor.As a result, it took three years from being awarded an official to being skinned and used as grass, but it bluffed many people.

"Tomorrow we will get up early and go to the Huagai Palace with my great-grandfather." Little Zhu said full of fighting spirit, "Then we have to go to the East Palace to pick up my younger brother and wait outside the Fengtian Palace."

Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Your brother is too young, he won't go tomorrow."

Little Zhu was unhappy, and said, "My younger brother will stand, go and stand first. If he wants to cry, let's let him come back. Our great-grandfather's birthday, we have to go!"

Wang Shi was both happy and worried. Although she and Lian Qiongqiong came to Qianqing Palace together, they were not qualified to take a seat, and they just waited on the side.Little Zhu's words certainly made Mrs. Wang happy, and if Zhu Wenqian went to the big banquet, he could also raise his status a little bit.

But thinking of Zhu Wenqi's age and so on, Wang was very worried that her son would not be able to cope with such an occasion.It's just that the Taishanghuang is so old, who knows if the Taishanghuang will have a chance to have a big birthday again.

Zhu Yunying smiled and didn't say much, let little Zhu try to take care of his younger brother first, which can be regarded as giving little Zhu more prestige.As for Zhu Wenqi, if he can't cope with such an occasion, it will be fine to send Zhu Wenqi back to the East Palace.

"In that case, I won't let you go to the East Palace to pick him up." Zhu Yunying said, "You should wait outside Fengtian Hall when the time comes, and let someone send your younger brother there. You are the eldest brother, you have to see Take care of him and protect him. If he can't handle it, you can ask someone to send him back."

The prestige of being an older brother also needs to be cultivated from an early age.

In the eyes of his younger siblings, Da Zhu was like a half father.In the hearts of Zhu Yunying's younger brothers and sisters, Zhu Yunying can now be regarded as a representative of elder brothers like fathers.And little Zhu, maybe it should be the same.

As an older brother, he takes on more responsibilities, which is not necessarily a bad thing.Especially in the royal family, the status of the eldest son needs to be clarified, and this matter must also be taken seriously.
