Mu Huagui

Chapter 167 Full Moon
"I really want to celebrate the full moon like this." Chen Jiao'er secretly clicked her tongue as she watched Guanshi Feng's arrangement for the princess.The water banquet alone lasts three days and three nights, no matter who you are, even if you just say a few words of congratulations, you can serve the table.

The imperial chef and some of the best chefs in the capital were invited to prepare the banquets for the banquet in the mansion. There are 36 dishes per table, and the materials alone cost thousands of taels of silver per table.The tables for the female guests inside are different, but they cost several hundred taels more per table than before.

For the food alone, tens of thousands of taels of silver went out, not to mention other expenses of the palace.To hold a full moon wine, I am afraid that there will be no 10,000+ taels of silver.

"Mother, it's just a full moon wine, isn't it too extravagant." Chen Jiao'er looked really shocked.

"I let you give birth to Brother Shun in such a dangerous situation. When I think about it, I feel ashamed of you. I didn't do anything under such circumstances. You are the daughter-in-law of our family, and you have no confinement." Sit still. Just take it as a little compensation for you and the child, just wait with peace of mind." The princess patted her hand, which was what the prince meant.

Thinking of my daughter-in-law, who was hunted down with a big belly and almost died.When I gave birth, I didn't even have a stable wife around me.The prince and his wife couldn't even sleep well. After discussing it several times, they decided to have a full moon wine, which can be regarded as a shock to their daughter-in-law.

"Mother, it's actually my fault. If Jiao'er hadn't been capricious, she wouldn't have..."

"What are you talking about? It's obvious that he was plotting something wrong. If you counted the timing, how could it be your fault?" The princess was a little displeased with Chen Jiao'er's sudden departure, but the matter has passed, and she gave birth to Brother Shun and brought her back to the palace smoothly. .

Everything else is not important anymore. At this time, let's talk about the previous mistakes, except for hurting feelings.This kind of troublesome thing is not done by a smart person.

If there are meritorious ministers who are rewarded, there will naturally be guilty ministers who will be punished.In addition to the vain title of a son-in-law, Princess Yonglong was also demoted to Princess Yonglong after all.Yonglong entrusted Mr. Xiong to beg, but the emperor said coldly, "If it wasn't for the face of relatives, this kind of person would deserve to die." He was so frightened that no one dared to go to the emperor to beg for others.

On the day of Brother Shun's full moon, Chen Jiao'er walked out with the newly dressed little figure in her arms.He was not afraid of life, and when he saw the crowds, he grinned and kept laughing.

Anyone who reaches out to hug him must take a good look with his big black eyes first, and when he confirms that it is a beautiful girl or daughter-in-law, he will smile and let him hug him in his arms.

If they were older, they pouted, turned away without even looking, and bit their fingers.It's a joy to amuse all the people.

"I don't know who this child looks like, so tired and lazy." The concubine's self-satisfied modesty made people who knew her joke even more.

"I think it's exactly like the son of the world. After marrying such a stunning daughter-in-law, it's time to marry a stunning granddaughter-in-law in the future."

"Why don't you say that you are like a prince, you married a stunning concubine?"

It caused everyone to burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic. If they didn't know, who would believe that the current emperor was almost overthrown just a month ago.

"Princess, the emperor sent someone to deliver a reward, and asked the big guy to go out to receive the order." Zhu Meng came up to report.

"Hey, hurry up, you can't keep the angels waiting for long." A group of people cheered and went to the gate, waiting for everyone to kneel down, the eunuch Xuanzhi smiled and touched his purse.

In order to take this errand, he broke his head. Who doesn't know that he can please the big red man in front of the emperor and get rewards.Don't look at this purse as light and flimsy, it must be a silver ticket.

The person kneeling down to receive them, after listening to the strings of names reported, knew that the gift he had collected so hard was not worth seeing under the imperial gift of the emperor.

After receiving the order, Zhou Mingyuan personally sent the angel away, and was dragged into the banquet by Chang Zaixian as soon as he entered.Shi Mingchang picked up his eating bowl and almost reached Zhou Mingyuan's face.Of course, it is not rice, but wine.

"Hehe, Chang Shizi said that you are a straightforward person who can drink better than him. I am a rough person and can't speak nicely. I offer you a glass and wish you a happy son."

Zhou Mingyuan chuckled, "Brother Shi is polite, it's just..." showing the imperial decree in his arms, "I have to go back and put it away, otherwise it would be disrespectful. I asked Chang Shizi to help me drink this bowl. Come out later and come to toast. "

No one expected that the imperial decree was still in his arms.This time, even the most tricky person couldn't find a reason to persuade him, Chang Zaixian pinched his nose, grimaced, and was poured down a bowl of wine like a young daughter-in-law.

Zhou Mingyuan laughed out loud, cupping his fists and bowing to each other.After leaving, however, several people discussed in private that the serious-looking Shizi was actually a good-tempered and polite man.

Only Chang Zaixian gritted his teeth, and Lu Huo'er couldn't stop laughing when he saw it. He simply smiled and raised another glass, suggesting that everyone should drink together.It didn't take long for the table to drink up and down by itself.When Zhou Mingyuan came to toast, there were not many sober ones left.

In the inner room, in someone's arms, Brother Shun started making a fuss, the nanny hurriedly hugged him, and turned to Chen Jiao'er, "Brother Shun may be hungry."

"Hurry up, take it down and feed it quickly, don't starve us Brother Shun." The princess pushed Chen Jiao'er in.

"Go and help me call Miss Xia's family to speak." Chen Jiao'er ordered Licorice.

This was the first time the two met after the incident, and it was not easy for her to disturb Chen Jiao'er while she was in confinement.Seeing her now, I couldn't help crying while hugging her.

"Sister, what's the matter, aren't you happy to see Jiao'er?"

"You know it's not like this." Xia Zisu saw that her chin was even sharper than before she was pregnant, and her complexion was abnormal.I also want to know that Chen Jiao'er is confinement in the palace, and she must not eat less precious ingredients and medicinal herbs to nourish her body.

But he still looks like this, one can imagine how much he suffered back then.Chen Jiao'er recounted the story of being chased and killed in detail, and Xia Zisu was terrified and frightened when she heard it. She rubbed her chest for a long time but couldn't recover.Lu Huo'er has been playing it lightly, she knew there was a problem.

After crying again, he stopped his tears and told Chen Jiao'er that Lu Huo'er and Chang Zaixian had persuaded some middle and lower-level officers and soldiers to respond to their uprising.

Zhou Mingyuan's hidden guards made an agreement with them. On the same night, a group of people threw kerosene-coated torches into the official residences in Beijing, causing chaos and attracting many people to fight the fire.

A group of people cooperated with the assassin to open the city gate. The assassin assassinated the officer guarding the city gate. Lu Huo'er then poured poison into the water source and fell a batch. Finally, the king of Dongjun led the remaining imperial forest army and gathered officers and soldiers to attack the south gate together.Only then did the gates of the city be opened, allowing the emperor and Zhou Mingyuan's army to enter the city.

The army from Liaodong arrived shortly thereafter, and the emperor took control of the overall situation and locked tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from Liaodong outside the city.And these officers and soldiers also got the order of the Shangguan to move out, and they didn't know that it was a conspiracy.

The eunuch standing on the city wall read the imperial decree, and then hung up the head of Xianjun King, and the army put down their weapons and surrendered.The general of Liaodong did not wait for the emperor to issue an order to execute him. After seeing the head of King Xianjun, he executed himself in front of the battle.

It sounded easy, but Chen Jiao'er knew that it was not easy in the middle, if any person or link made a mistake, the result might be different.

Especially the death of King Xianjun, if he can't be found so quickly, what will happen to the general of Liaodong.Thinking of this, I realized that Zhou Mingyuan didn't seem to have mentioned Zhou Minghua's current situation.

Seeing her asking, Xia Zisu hesitated and said, "You will know sooner or later, so you might as well tell you first. Zhou Minghua was named Prince Pingjun for his meritorious service in reporting traitors."

"Your Majesty has nothing to do. If he kills all of his meritorious deeds, it will damage the Emperor's reputation." Xia Zisu comforted her, "Anyway, they have lost their holy favor, and it's no big deal to leave a false name. They will never dare to do it again in the future It's jumping."

"It's okay." Chen Jiao'er forced a smile.

If there is no shadow of Qin Yiyi in these things, she will not believe it.But the emperor has just made Pingjun king, and if he pulls out Qin Yiyi, it seems to be against the emperor, and if he pulls out Aunt Lu.One-for-one trading cannot be done, and it is better to leave it to find other opportunities in the future.

As soon as the full moon wine was finished, Prince Dong drafted a memorial and resigned from the post of Minister of the Household Department, and recommended several capable ministers under his command for the emperor to choose.

In the palace, Zhou Mingyuan lost his temper to his father and said, "You don't even discuss things with me, just let me do what you want. It's so easy to get to today's situation, and you still think you can't do it."

"Silly son, you still don't understand that the emperor is young, and he has been oppressed by the king of Xian County for ten years. Once he regains the initiative, he will never let anyone block his way. The father is already old, and it is him again. Uncle, instead of standing there to be annoying, it is better for you young people to step forward and create a peaceful and prosperous world with him."

"Your father is right. The emperor is in charge of the government. There is nothing left to do. This family depends on you to support it. Don't let us down. Your father has worked hard all his life. It's time for us to take care of our grandchildren and take care of them for the rest of our lives. "The concubine smiled and pointed to the bamboo garden where Zhou Mingyuan lived, "They are all fathers, and they are still so rough."

Zhou Mingyuan came back disheartened, and when he saw his son, he smiled again. He lifted his son high, threw him up and caught him again.Brother Le Deshun laughed "giggle", waving his fleshy little hands, very excited.

The nurse next to her was so frightened that she unconsciously opened her hand to pick it up, but she was afraid of offending the Shizi and dared not move.Chen Jiao'er snatched her son from him, "You, if it gets to mother's ears, it will make you feel better."

"Haha, please don't, I'm afraid of her." A few days ago, he just walked around outside with his son in his arms and sneezed twice when he came back.

Ever since he was a child, it was the first time he was scolded by the princess like this for his own son. Zhou Mingyuan really couldn't laugh or cry.However, he was struggling, and then thought of a new way to tease his son, which was to throw it away and pick it up again.After playing for a few days, Brother Shun reached out to hug him as soon as he saw him.As if something made him proud, he played more and more vigorously.
