Chapter 162 Birthday
Zhu Biao sighed, this is really facing his darkest thoughts, even if it is his own son, Zhu Biao is very resistant now.
It may also be related to his age. After all, he has never reached the stage of having children in his two lifetimes. Zhu Biao shook his head, stood up and went back to sleep.
Zhu Biao got up early the next morning to dress and eat, and Liu Jin came back after a while. After serving Zhu Biao, Liu Jin brought warm water to rinse his mouth and said, "The servant went to the harem to give gifts early in the morning, and the sage is also here. The second prince was very happy after receiving the gift from His Highness, and said that he would thank you very much tonight, the Holy Majesty didn't say anything, but the servant looked at the Holy Majesty very satisfied."
Zhu Biao nodded, what a surprise he didn't need to do, as long as it was smooth and steady, it was also in line with the rules.
Princes’ birthdays are not a big deal, even Zhu Biao’s birthday is the same, and it has never been a big event, let alone the rest. At this time, only Zhu Yuanzhang’s Longevity Day will be a big event.
Princes celebrating their birthdays usually have a meal with their biological mother in the morning, a meal at Kunning Palace at noon, and a meal with their younger brothers in the evening. Whether Zhu Yuanzhang participates or not depends on his mood.
Now that Zhu Biao is not in charge of the imperial examination, and Li Shanchang did not show up, these scholars can only go to see Song Lian, the chief examiner, which is no different from worshiping Zhu Biao.
The rest of the things were also arranged. Zhu Biao had nothing to do before his wedding, so he had no choice but to continue to study the map he had drawn.
At noon, Liu Jin came to remind Zhu Biao that it was time to go to Kunning Palace, and the queen was the real aunt of the princes, so it was time to celebrate their birthdays.
Zhu Biao set off for Kunning Palace. When he arrived, the hall was already full of people, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not there. It seems that he was discussing with the ministers about the matter of sharing the property.
When Zhu Biao stepped into the hall, everyone in the hall stood up and saluted except Empress Ma. They didn’t move too much. After all, this was a family feast. Zhu Biao nodded with a smile on his face, asked them to sit down, and walked to his seat. down.
After Zhu Biao sat down, he realized that there were more and more people attending the family banquet. Before he knew it, the Zhu family was already very big. Zhu Biao now had eight younger brothers and seven younger sisters, and the youngest two were born this year. , is still in the swaddling baby of their mother and concubine.
Empress Ma was actually quite happy to see so many people, and it was rare to have some fun. She didn't care that her husband had so many women, after all, it was a normal thing in this era.
Before the meal, Empress Ma smiled and congratulated Zhu Yu, congratulating him for being one year older. After Zhu Yu stood up and thanked him, the rest of the concubines and older brothers and sisters also offered their blessings.
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang’s harem is still very peaceful. The concubines have long accepted their fate. The position of queen and prince cannot be shaken by them.
After an hour, everyone dispersed. Zhu Biao stayed in Kunning Palace to drink tea with his mother. Empress Ma was a little unhappy. Lao Zhu's ninth son.
He has some congenital deficiencies since he was born, and he has been suffering from minor ailments since he was raised so meticulously. The child who is only a few months old can't even drink soup, so he can only let the nanny drink the medicine and then feed him.
Zhu Biao just took a look at it just now. The child is indeed on the verge of being unable to support him, but there is nothing he can do about it. Such a small child will be difficult to deal with even in later generations, let alone this era.
It is estimated that it is because of this characteristic that a hard-hearted tough guy like Zhu Yuanzhang loves him for a lifetime. Many people may not be able to do this by themselves, but it does not prevent him from liking such a person.
Soon Empress Ma was going to take classmate Zhu Lu to take a nap. Zhu Biao said goodbye and left. On the way back, he somehow wanted to meet Chang Luohua.
When it was time to eat dinner, Zhu Biao changed into casual clothes and set off for the Chongyi Building. He met the three brothers of the Zhu family at the gate of the palace, and then got into the carriage together.
The re-translation building has been taken down, and there are dozens of people standing downstairs, all of whom are young men in rich clothes. People passing by stay away from them, for fear of bumping into these honorable children.
Standing at the forefront is Chang Mao, who told him that he will soon become the wife of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although Chang Yuchun voluntarily gave up a lot of power, anyone with a discerning eye can see that once there is a situation where a general needs to step in, Zhu Yuanzhang must have asked him to be in command.
Xu Yungong next to Chang Mao looked as usual. He knew his own ability and understood Chang Mao's ability. Although he was overwhelmed now, so what, His Royal Highness would not allow his relatives to be too powerful. Become the real minister of humerus of His Royal Highness.
Li Qi and Tang Ding stood aside calmly, and the rest of the honored children were discussing enthusiastically. They were also teenagers in their teens and twenties, and they had been trapped in the capital for too long. Enough is enough.
Now the princes heard the news that His Royal Highness is going to take them to Shanxi, which made them drink happily for several days. Young people, they all want to prove themselves.
The dozens of people who came tonight are all the children of Marquis and above, and the rest are not qualified to participate in the prince's banquet, and they are all eagerly waiting for the news at home.
Xu Yungong asked Chang Mao: "Have you made arrangements for the kitchen?"
Chang Mao nodded: "Don't worry, all the process is watched by my father's soldiers, and the dishes are ordered twice. After they come out of the oven, someone will try a random one to make sure nothing goes wrong."
Xu Yungong was relieved a lot. Although Chang Mao was mainly responsible, if something happened to His Royal Highness, none of them would be able to escape.
After waiting for a while, they saw three carriages approaching. The first two jumped off more than a dozen people, gestured at them, and then dispersed into Chongze Tower. Xu Yungong and others naturally knew the identities of these people.
When the last carriage came to a steady stop, Liu Jin first jumped down to place a step stool, and then Zhu Biao walked down wearing a black robe, and Zhu Yu and others behind him also came down one by one.
Changmao Xu Yungong led a group of people to salute Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao smiled and asked them to stand up, and there were many passing people watching outside.
Zhu Biao was surrounded by stars and entered Chongze Tower, and Zhu Yu was a little upset at this time. It was obviously his birthday, but the protagonist was the elder brother, and he built the steps himself.
But there is no other way, if the eldest brother does not come, it would be nice if some of these honorable children come to support him, and they will inevitably have a meal of family law when they go back.
