Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 496 The Palace Banquet

As soon as the news of the reduction of grain tax and commercial tax was released, the people who were already celebrating became even happier. This is really a benefit.

Today's Yunzhou Army is still a wartime mechanism, although the remaining food can already feed the whole family.

But who in this world would think that their own family has too much food?

Businessmen think so too.

The carnival gets even more exciting!

……

Bianjing, the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, Yunzhou County [-] Miles is urgent!"

Zhao Duan, who had just come down from the morning, returned to Funing Palace when he saw Cao Shuang running in with a happy face and holding a letter.

Zhao Duan rushed 800 miles a day, and suddenly he felt a sudden, what happened to Yunzhou County?They actually used the 800-mile rush rate?

However, when he took the letter and opened it, the solemnity on his face suddenly melted like the snow in early spring, and a bright smile appeared!

The girl from the sixth family is actually pregnant!
Although I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, just being pregnant makes the sixth child a lot ahead of the others, and I finally have the hope of seeing my grandchildren!
Thinking of this, Zhao Duandang couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately greeted Cao Shuang, "Cao Shuang!"

"Your Majesty! The servant is here!"

Cao Shuang hurriedly stepped forward, but knowing Zhao Duan, he had vaguely guessed what the other party was thinking.

As expected, Zhao Duan directly ordered: "Go quickly and call the queen, the prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and Da Zongzheng and King Zhenxi. By the way, all princes, as long as they get married, they must bring their families!

Tonight, I will hold a royal family banquet at Jiying Hall!go! "

Cao Shuang was taken aback when he heard the words, hesitated for a moment before asking uncertainly, "Your Majesty, you mean in the Jiying Hall?"

Zhao Duan's eyes widened: "Why not? For such a big event, can't I use Jiying Hall to hold a family banquet?"

Cao Shuang hurriedly shook his head, how could it not work? This Song Dynasty belongs to you. You can hold the family banquet wherever you want.

Cao Shuang quickly responded:

"The slaves obey!"

No wonder Cao Shuang would hesitate, there are three levels of banquets in the Song Dynasty Palace.

They are the first-level banquet, the second-level banquet and the third-level banquet.

Among them, the first-level banquet was held in Jiying Hall, the second-level banquet was held in Zichen Hall, and the third-level small banquet was held in Chuigong Hall.

Usually, only important envoys are invited, and such important banquets as the Baiguan Annual Banquet will be held in Jiying Hall.

Now that a family banquet was arranged in Jiying Hall, Cao Shuang was really taken aback, but it could also be seen how happy the Holy Majesty is now.

Cao Shuang left in response, Zhao Duan still couldn't control the excitement in his heart after he left, he walked back and forth in Funing Palace excitedly, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

And soon the news that the emperor was going to hold a family banquet in the Jiying Hall spread throughout the outer courts, especially the edict that every prince must bring his family members with him seems reasonable, but it seems strange to emphasize it so much .

Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Sheng was discussing this matter with the counselor, but after discussing and discussing, he couldn't come up with a reason.

Finally, the fifth prince simply said: "No matter what my father is thinking? At worst, our soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us. Besides, among the brothers, I am not married yet, and my father specifically promised to bring a family, so it shouldn't involve me." "

After hearing this, the counselor nodded in agreement: "The fifth prince is right, just go to the meeting normally."

The fifth prince was in trouble, and the fourth prince, Zhao Ji and Meng Yuru, were also puzzled.

"Princess, what do you mean by father? Why do you specifically emphasize that you must bring your family?"

Zhao Ji couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, so he simply asked the problem to his wife. This was also his usual practice, and he had been doing this all these years.

Meng Yuru rolled her eyes when she heard this, knowing that he was lazy, but she didn't say anything more. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head:

"There is too little information in hand to make a judgment.

However, my father called King Zhenxi and Da Zongzheng over this time, presumably because the matter involved must be related to the clan. "

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Ji asked.

"do nothing."

"do nothing?"

"Yes! Do nothing!"

Meng Yuru nodded affirmatively and then said:

"When the enemy's situation is unknown, respond to all changes with the same.

We don’t know anything about the situation now, and taking rash actions may be self-defeating. It’s better to do nothing. After we figure things out and see what the situation is, we can make corresponding arrangements. "

"it is good!"

Zhao Ji was as obedient as ever and didn't bother to think too much, so he nodded and agreed.

Compared to their guessing and guessing, Da Zongzheng and King Zhenxi didn't have the slightest pressure, and immediately started to prepare after receiving the news.

They are all elders in the royal family, and nothing can be counted against them, the most is to be a witness, so they have nothing to worry about.

As soon as the prince received the news, the queen had already hurried over.

"Has my son received an invitation to your father's palace banquet?"

The queen asked impatiently as soon as she arrived.

The prince nodded calmly and replied, "Eunuch Cao just left."

The queen found a seat and sat down, and then asked worriedly: "What does your father mean by this? Why do you have to remind me to take your family there? You also called Da Zongzheng and King Zhenxi?"

Zhao Ming shook his head: "My son doesn't know, but I think Father must have his own intentions."

"Hey! I can't explain it clearly, even your father!"

The queen couldn't help complaining, but Zhao Ming just drank his tea silently without saying a word.

The queen glanced at him, and then said: "Then will the queen go with you later?"

Zhao Ming glanced at him, and suddenly asked, "Is the queen mother willing to see Qingning?"

The queen's face froze for a moment.

Li Qingning is the Crown Prince's current concubine, her father is Ning Guogong Li Wen, and she is the eldest daughter of Ning Guogong's mansion.

Originally the queen was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but since she married the prince for ten years and had nothing to do, the queen has always disliked her, and now she doesn't even look at her on weekdays. Would like to take a look at her.

During the period, it was not that the queen did not let the prince accept another concubine, but the prince was unwilling. The husband and wife respected each other as guests and had a very good relationship, but they had nothing to do.

This has also kept the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bad, mainly because the queen is to the princess.

Now when this topic is mentioned, the queen's face froze.

After being stunned for a long time, thinking that it had been a long time since I had a meal with my son, I could only endure the reluctance in my heart and nodded: "Okay!"

The corners of the prince's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately called his servants to ask them to call the prince's concubine.

The palace banquet started at the fourth quarter of the unitary hour. When the palace lanterns were lit, the Jiying Hall was brightly lit, and all kinds of delicacies were put on the table, as well as wine, fruit and juice.

Songs and dances have been performed since the beginning of Youshi.

And tonight's guests began to arrive one after another.

Until the sixth quarter of the unitary hour, all the invited people arrived at the Jiying Hall.

The protagonist of today's family dinner, Zhao Duancai, came belatedly with a smile as bright as the spring breeze...
