Chapter 50
The next morning, Zhu Biao got up and ate a bowl of white jade lotus seed porridge, then got up and walked around the yard a few times.
"What happened last night?"
Liu Jin returned: "Last night, His Majesty gave a banquet to all the ministers, and ended up drinking with the generals of the Northern Expedition in person."
Zhu Biao nodded and glanced in the direction of Fengtian Temple, thinking that today's court meeting should be very interesting.
Zhu Biao twirled the Canaan incense bracelets one by one in his hand, breathing the air rhythmically.
"Master, Kun Ning Palace is here to invite, I heard that there are many wives and ladies of the generals of the Northern Expedition..."
Zhu Biao let out a breath slowly. It is normal for the queen to entertain the family members of the heroes, but it is not normal for him to go.
Zhu Biao showed a smile on his face, it seemed that he was about to meet his daughter-in-law.
Turning around and going back to the room, Yunjin changed him into a robe. The black collared dress was made of sable, and the sleeves were sable.
The front and back shoulders of the embroidered text are one dragon each, and the folds are six walking dragons, with five-color clouds in between; the other is that the collar and sleeves are stone blue, with gold and sea dragon borders in winter, and gold borders in summer.
The embroidered text is one dragon on the front and back on the shoulders, four dragons on the waist curtain, eight dragons on the skirt, two dragons on the collar, and one dragon on the sleeve. There are folds in the middle, and the lower panel is Babao Pingshui.
A three-inch jade bead is tied on the jade belt around his waist, and the dragon shadow is entwined on the jade bead. Today Zhu Biao did not wear a crown, but simply tied it behind his back.
After thinking about it, Zhu Biao called out Nuanyu again, and then led him to Kunning Palace.
Nuan Yu was a little confused, why did she suddenly want to take her out.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the harem, I saw a few boys in similar clothes standing there.
"Brother! Brother! Why did you come here!"
Seeing Zhu Biao and those guys, they rushed over, and the second child said: "Brother, we have been waiting for you for a long time, didn't you change your clothes on purpose?"
The third child interjected: "You can tell that today is not normal just by looking at the body of the eldest brother."
The fourth child nodded and looked carefully: "It seems that we are going to have a sister-in-law!"
Zhu Biao looked at his younger brothers with a smile: "What's the matter? What are you waiting for me here? It's rare to have ladies from various houses enter the palace. If you don't choose carefully, you will rarely have a chance in the future.
Talking casually with his younger brothers, he led the way into the harem.
The **** guarding the side shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness and all the princes are here!"
Zhu Biao saw a lot of people after walking a few steps, especially in the direction of the Royal Garden.
The princes behind Zhu Biao all had small faces, calm faces, looking straight ahead, never wanting to smile like they were just now, and they all revealed the aura of aristocrats.
Zhu Biao glanced back and couldn't help laughing, turned his head and continued to walk forward. Along the way, a few noble ladies surrounded by maids gave way to salute on both sides of the road from time to time.
Most of these ladies are only eleven or twelve years old, and the older ones are about fourteen or five years old. However, most of the serious ladies in official families are sensible very early. They learned to manage housework from their mothers when they were ten years old.
So they stood here and waited early, expecting to be favored by the prince, and each of them greeted them with the most gentle tone and saluted with the most graceful gestures when they passed by.
Of course, there are also those who think that the prince is too sought-after and turn their targets to the prince. Unfortunately, all the princes are carrying it, so it is naturally impossible to express their favor to them.
Along the way, although Zhu Biao didn't stop when he saw the salute, he still returned a gentle smile.
All the way to Kunning Palace, there are quite a few people inside. Apart from the family members of the generals, Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines are also there, especially those with sons, all of whom are watching covetously.
Zhu Biao and others entered the hall after the notification. On the high platform, only Empress Ma was sitting alone.
After Zhu Biao led the princes to greet Empress Ma, everyone else stood up, put their hands together on their chests, slightly bent their knees, lowered their heads and said in unison: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness, and all the princes. Your Highness!"
The voices of Yingying and Yanyan are endless, that is to say, Zhu Biao is still young and can only come here before he has a wife. In a few years, he will avoid suspicion, and the same is true for the remaining princes.
Zhu Biao bowed slightly, with a decent smile on his face, nodded and walked up directly, and sat in the first seat on the left side of the hall.
The princes followed Zhu Biao and sat down. Zhu Biao was facing Concubine Li, who was the second and third concubine's mother. Seeing Concubine Li smiled softly, she got up to avoid it, leaving the first seat on the right.
Zhu Biao didn't say anything, Nuan Yu beside him took the tea from the maid and put it carefully in front of Zhu Biao.
The eyes of all the ladies were fixed on Zhu Biao, and everyone knew that His Royal Highness had reached the marriageable age...
Empress Ma looked at the little girls in the hall with a smile on her face, and then listened to the compliments of the ladies to her son.
Only Xu Da's wife Xie looked at the fourth prince Zhu Di, and she was also very satisfied with her expression.
After an incense burn, Empress Ma stood up and went downstairs to talk to Xie and Lan, and then led a group of women to the imperial garden.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole hall became much more relaxed, and Zhu Biao also stood up and walked out. Along the way, there were always girls staring at him affectionately, wanting to say something, but they all seemed to hesitate.
Zhu Biao has no interest in children. Although they look mature and look like seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, it's a pity that their bland figure still betrays them.
There are also some ordinary-looking ones, even with gorgeous makeup and luxurious jewelry, it is difficult to hide their temperament.
Zhu Biao's purpose is very clear, since Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Chang Yuchun's daughter, it must be her.
After all, he had to meet him, so that he would have a bottom line in his heart.
Before he went out, a pretty girl stood in front of Zhu Biao as if she had been pushed out.
Looking at the bewildered girl, Zhu Biao stretched out his left hand with a bright smile on his face: "Be careful, don't fall down."
Zhu Biao squinted his eyes, as if he heard the sound of some people grinding their teeth.
That girl also looked at the gentle and jade-like young man in front of her with blurred eyes.
Zhu Biao didn't say much, and he didn't care whether the girl was pushed out or acted by himself, it had nothing to do with him.
smiled and said to the girls around: "The weather is nice today, why don't you all go to the Imperial Garden and have a look."
