Han Shizu

Chapter 1116 The Wedding Banquet
Since Duke Qin's mansion does not occupy enough land and space, the wedding banquet was directly placed outside the mansion, and the additional seats directly occupied two streets.It is said that it will not disturb the people, but when it is actually implemented, there is no way that it will not infringe on public resources. Even the Kaifeng government sent some servants to coordinate matters and maintain order beforehand.

The people who participated in the wedding cannot be described as rich or noble at all, because they are all powerful and powerful, either have titles or hold official positions.The gathering of crowns and caps almost lined up outside Leping Square. Many people arrived, but they could only walk for a while to go to the palace, wait for the arrangement, and then offer gifts and congratulations.

As night fell, the inside and outside of Duke Qin's mansion were naturally brightly lit and crowded with guests.The place where Emperor Liu's family stayed was naturally among them. It wasn't the busiest place, but it was the most luxurious.

The big family of the emperor set up four banquet tables before they settled down, and the princes and princesses crowded two tables.In the past few years, the speed of childbearing has slowed down significantly, but a few daughters have been added. Now Emperor Liu has thirteen sons and seven daughters, no more, no less, a total of twenty princes and daughters.

This is not only an affirmation of Emperor Liu's fertility, that the Tian family has flourished and thrived, but also a symbol of the prosperity of the Han Empire, with successors.

The empress dowager is sitting in the main seat. The empress dowager, who is over sixty years old, is getting old day by day. Even if she has the best life and the most thoughtful recuperation, she still can't withstand the invasion of time. The empress dowager's body is going further and further down the downhill road. .

However, the eldest grandson's marriage obviously made the Queen Mother feel extremely joyful and gratified, and there was always a kind smile on her face.Liu Chengyou was very happy in his heart, and he couldn't help saying to Li Shi: "Mother, Liu Xu got married, and your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately gave him an annoyed look: "What do you mean, don't you care about your eldest son's marriage?"

"Of course they are concerned, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to make such a big scene!" Liu Chengyou said immediately.

In fact, although the guests gathered, civil and military ministers, and even the people of Tokyo came together to congratulate, but the established ostentation still made Liu Chengyou vigilant.
His one son is like this, and there are twelve or more in the future, and there is one prince. Qin Gong is like this, and the standard of the prince must be higher.

Of course, Emperor Liu's thinking is not humane. It is a happy event, and happiness is the most important thing. Any ideas and measures have to be implemented afterwards.

With a lot of thoughts, Liu Chengyou said to Li Shi: "I just feel a little bit emotional, time flies, Liu Xu has grown up before I know it, maybe in a year or so, mother, you will be able to hug your great-grandson!"

Emperor Liu's words obviously hit the Empress Dowager's heart, and Li Shi smiled and said: "You want to hug your grandson too!"

Liu Chengyou was also indifferent, subconsciously touched his beautifully trimmed beard, and said: "It seems that my son is getting old too!"

You know, Emperor Liu is now 34 years old, and he is full of plans.If you can hold a grandson by the age of 35, then it is really early enough.
"Father, you are not old at all!" At this time, a slightly frivolous voice rang in my ears, but it was the fifth son Liu Yun who walked up to Emperor Liu, a little dizzy, and said with a smile: "I will definitely give you another time!" Let's add some brothers and sisters."

"Liu Yun, shut up!" Hearing what he said, before Emperor Liu opened his mouth, the virtuous concubine or wife scolded him, then got up and walked to Emperor Liu, pulled Liu Yun to worship him, and said to Emperor Liu: " Officials, Liu Yun's disrespectful words are due to my incompetence in discipline, please punish him!"

"Hey, it's a happy day, don't make such a fuss." Seeing that someone had noticed the situation here, Liu Chengyou quickly helped Zhe Niangzi up.

Then he glanced at Liu Yun, noticed the jug in his hand, and said, "I don't have the capacity to drink, I drank a few mouthfuls of yellow soup, and ran to your father to say nonsense!"

Hearing this, Liu Yun looked at Fengmei's mother who was glaring at her angrily, and then met Liu Chengyou's eyes, and then he came to his senses, subconsciously put the wine pot behind his back, stared at his eyes, and said embarrassingly: "Brother got married, as a brother , I feel happy, and I should congratulate with wine."

"Yantuo!" But Liu Chengyou summoned the waiter, pointed to the tables and seats where the princes gathered together, and ordered: "You should keep an eye on them, don't let them drink, especially the little prince and princess!"

"Yes!"

Because the princes and daughters are so young, the drinks prepared for them are mostly fruit juice and tea, but the older princes can still drink some wine, especially the two brothers Liu Xi and Liu Fang. Yun also began to experience.

Of course, judging from Liu Yun's consistent style of performance, it is not surprising.Seeing his blurred eyes, Emperor Liu couldn't help being a little angry, and glared at him: "Why did you come to see me?"

Hehe smiled, and Liu Yun said to Liu Chengyou: "My son is thinking, the eldest brother is married, and you will reward me with a daughter-in-law sometime."

This kid Liu Yun is also really brave, all the concubines present couldn't help but look sideways when they heard it, the lady Zhe wanted to screw out her son's ears.

As for Emperor Liu, meeting Liu Yun's expectant gaze, he immediately laughed and cursed: "You boy, you miss a woman before your hair grows!"

As he said that, he ordered to Zhe Niangzi: "Take him down to sober up, don't let this bastard cause any trouble at the banquet!"

"Yes!" Seeing that Emperor Liu was not angry, Zhe Niang felt a little relieved, and then led Liu Yun down. She suddenly felt that she was too loose with her offspring.

Zhe Niangzi has now given birth to four sons and one daughter, namely the fourth son Liu Fang, the fifth son Liu Yun, the eighth son Liu Ai, the eleventh son Liu Xiao and the sixth daughter Liu Lei.

The fourth brother, Liu Fang, appears more frequently, so I don’t need to mention it; the fifth child, Liu Yun, has always been smart, but has an eccentric personality, and is more active than the third child. Practicing hard, but being smart, like a gangster;
Compared with the two outstanding elder brothers, the eighth eldest Liu Ai, who was born in the ninth year of Qianyou, is a good boy, but also represents mediocrity; the eleventh son Liu Xiao, who is not yet six years old, is weak and sick, and once let Liu The emperor was worried that he would be like the princes and daughters who had died. Fortunately, he survived, but his body was still weak. As for Liu Lei, the sixth daughter, who was only a little over three years old, she couldn't see anything.

"Officials, I'm not talking behind my back, Liu Yun, you love him too much, you should discipline him more, if you indulge, I'm afraid he will cause trouble in the future!"

The only one who can say that, dare to say that, is Gao Guifei.When talking about Liu Xi's education, she also reacted in the same way. Therefore, Emperor Liu didn't mind what she said, but just smiled: "Lively is more lively, and discipline has never been relaxed. It's just nature. When you get older, you will pay attention to proportion.”

"Today is Liu Xu's day of great joy. We watched him grow up. Now that he is able to start a family and start a family, we should be happy for him. As for other things, it is not appropriate to discuss them here." At this time, the Queen's Talisman also spoke. With a smile on his face, he toasted and invited: "Let's have a drink together and congratulate him."

When the empress opened her mouth, everyone naturally had to save face. Although all the women present here except the empress dowager were women who had discussed with the emperor, the difference in status was obvious, and even Concubine Gao didn't say anything more.

Although the night is getting darker, it is very bright inside and out. Above the night sky, it is also dotted with gorgeous fireworks. Under the fireworks, there are singing and dancing.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations Your Majesty!"

The ministers and ministers naturally all smiled and came to congratulate.Hearing the words of congratulations over and over again, Emperor Liu almost couldn't help saying "We are happy together, happy together".

Not only Emperor Liu, as today's protagonist, he was also surrounded by everyone, thanking everyone for their congratulations, even if it was just for the sake of meaning, after a round, he was also dizzy because he couldn't drink well.If it weren't for the big talisman to stop, I'm afraid even the bridal chamber would be difficult tonight.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the happy daughter-in-law!" This time, it was two people who came together, um, Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin who had just returned to court.

The two tall and burly generals, who had killed Hexi to silence, were actually in front of Emperor Liu with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes.After returning to the court, Emperor Liu hadn't officially met the two of them, which made them quite anxious. At this time, of course, they wanted to take advantage of the festive day to try and make a confession.

Paying attention to the expressions of the two, Guo Jin was tense, but it was hard to hide his nervousness. Wang Yansheng was even more obedient, with a huge contrast in his image. Seeing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help being amused, and held a cup to touch the two of them: "Thank you two Sir! You have fought hard in the northwest, and it is rare to return to Beijing, so enjoy yourself and have fun tonight!"

"Yes!" Seeing Emperor Liu's attitude, the two were overjoyed, and drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.

At the banquet, there were still some episodes. For example, the Seventh Prince Liu Hui wrote a congratulatory poem for his eldest brother, which attracted a lot of praise.As for Liu Fang, after drinking a lot of wine, he even went to the guards to borrow a sword, and wanted to dance with a sword to cheer him up, and then he was strangled. In the big wedding scene, this kid wanted to dance with a sword, how could he be allowed.

In addition, Zhang Yanwei, Marquis of Anding, drank too much and went crazy at the banquet.
