Chapter 268 Descendants of Yandu
Prince Jin's Mansion has prepared for this birthday banquet for about half a year. With the financial and material resources of a royal mansion, this birthday banquet is naturally very lively.

At this moment, the banquet of the palace was placed from the palace to the street, and there was a long row along the street, that is to say, no matter whether they came to celebrate the birthday of Prince Jin, even ordinary people could sit down and have a meal. Suddenly.

Of course, it's fine to eat outside, but it's a bit difficult to go in to meet Prince Jin and congratulate him on his birthday.

But Zhao Shilang is a big boss in the court, and he can be ranked in the top ten of the six departments. As soon as he walked to the main entrance of the palace, Li Mu, the eldest son of the Jin palace, greeted him personally, bowed his hands to Zhao Changping, and saluted with a smile: "Changping Sir is here."

Although Zhao Shilang had a tired look on his face, he still bowed his hands and returned the salute, shaking his head and said: "Your Majesty is being polite, I dare not be your Majesty, sir."

Li Mu lowered his eyebrows and said: "The people who came here today are all relatives and friends of Prince Jin's residence, and they are all old friends of my father and king, so you don't have to be polite, sir."

These words were indeed polite. Usually when Li Mu saw these officials in the court, he would call them by official titles, but today his old father celebrated his birthday, so the titles were not so appropriate.

Zhao Changping nodded slightly, then looked back at Zhao Er, and said, "Pass the gift list to your son."

Zhao Jizhou quickly handed over the gift slip with both hands, and after Li Mu accepted it, he bowed his head in thanks.

Shen Yi is following behind Zhao Jizhou at this moment, he is not rich enough to give a gift list, he just brought a wooden box, handed it to Li Mu with a smile, lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this is my son who ran away yesterday. I searched all over Jiankang's bookstores, and found a Jiankang Geographical Atlas, which I have already read below. Compared with today's geographical atlases, it is much more detailed. The Prince of Jin is the Yin of Jiankang. Maybe you can use Got it."

"The gift is frivolous, please don't be offended."

Li Mu took it with a smile, then handed the wooden box to the servants around him, stepped forward and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and smiled heartily: "Ziheng has such a thought, it is already very precious, father won this gift , most likely will be happy."

He turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please come in quickly, three distinguished guests, the banquet will begin soon."

Zhao Shilang nodded silently, and led the two juniors into the inner house of Prince Jin's Mansion.

The inner house of King Jin's Mansion is not the house where King Jin's family lives, but the backyard of King Jin's Mansion. It occupies a large area. In addition to the house where he lives, there is also a huge garden. Shen Yi once lived in this back garden. to a tea party.

At this moment, there are about a dozen tables in an open space in the back garden.

The guests on the dozen or so tables are the real guests of this birthday banquet. These people present cannot be described as either rich or expensive, they can only be said...

All nobles.

They are all the dignitaries of Da Chen.

Originally, if Shen Yi came to pay homage to King Jin himself, he would most likely not be able to enter the inner court, but with Zhao Changping leading him, Shen Yi followed the Zhao family father and son and entered the inner court smoothly.

The servants of Prince Jin's Mansion had already arranged a seat for Zhao Changping and led the three people over. After Zhao Shilang arranged for his two nephews to sit down, he said to the two people: "You guys sit here, I'll go see you Prince Jin."

He is a big boss, so naturally he wants to celebrate his birthday with King Jin face to face.

After Zhao Shilang left, Shen Yi and Zhao Jizhou sat at this table together, feeling like a rabbit into a pack of wolves. Fortunately, Zhao Er, he knew some people more or less, and he could talk to some people at the same table, while Shen Yi You can only sit where you are, watching your nose and mind.

After a while, Zhao Changping came out of the inner house, returned to his seat, and greeted his colleagues at the same table with a smile. At this time, King Jin's birthday banquet will officially begin, and Li Mu, the son of the prince, does not have to be there. Receiving guests at the door, after Li Mu came to the inner house, he found Shen Yi who had already been seated. He first greeted everyone at the table, looked at Shen Yi with a smile, and asked, "Has Zi Heng met King Father?"

Shen Yi got up, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Prince Jin yet."

"Then Ziheng, come with me. A few days ago, my father kept talking about meeting you. Now that I'm at home today, I have to see you no matter what."

Only then did Shen Yi stand up, greeted Zhao Changping, and then followed Li Mu towards the back house.

Li Mu walked ahead to lead the way, then handed back Shen Yi's gift to Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "You will give it to the father in person in a while."

After Shen Yi took it, he nodded silently.

The Prince Jin sighed as he led the way.

"It turned out that after the father read Ziheng's poems, he felt emotional. After reading the mansion newspaper written by Ziheng half a month ago, he carried it with him and read it when he had nothing to do."

"Although my father was not born in the north, I have heard stories about Yandu from my grandparents since I was a child, and I am quite touched by the mansion newspaper written by you."

Prince Jin was of the same generation as the first emperor, and both were sons of Emperor Xianzong.

Emperor Xianzong is the son of Emperor Sejong.

Emperor Sejong was in his 30s when he crossed south in embarrassment. At that time, Emperor Xianzong was nearly [-] years old. Therefore, Emperor Xianzong grew up in the north, that is, in Yandu. He would naturally follow his son They talked about some old things in Yandu.

By the time of the third generation, Li Mu, their feelings for the north were not so warm, but for the second generation like King Jin Li Rui, they still had feelings for the north.

When Jin Wang Li Rui was young, he once stayed in Yandu for a period of time to trace the traces of his ancestors.

While the two of them were talking, Li Mu had already brought Shen Yi to a side hall in the back house of Prince Jin's mansion. Prince Jin was drinking tea in the side hall. Li Mu asked Shen Yi to wait at the door, and walked in by himself. He lowered his head to his father and said.

"Father, the banquet is about to begin, and it's time for you to go out to meet guests."

Prince Jin gave a "hmm" and asked, "Is there anyone in the palace?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I haven't come yet, but I should arrive before noon."

King Jin nodded again and did not speak.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Mu gave Shen Yi a wink, and Shen Yi, who was standing at the door, walked in, bowed his head deeply to Prince Jin and cupped his hands: "Jiangdu Shen Yi, congratulations on the birthday of Prince Jin."

Hearing the name Shen Yi, Prince Jin's gaze changed slightly. He looked up at Shen Yi, then pointed to the chair opposite him, and he, who was always serious, showed a rare smile: "Young Master Shen is here."

Shen Yi held the wooden box containing Jiankang Geography Maps in front of Prince Jin with a smile on his face: "This is my birthday gift to the Prince, and it is Jiankang's Geography Maps. The Prince is in charge of Gyeonggi. it works."

"Ah."

Prince Jin put the box aside, nodded and said, "It's rare that you have a heart."

After complimenting Shen Yi, the Prince of Jin asked Shen Yi a few more words about the residence newspaper and the exam. After the conversation between the two came to an end, the uncle looked at Shen Yi and smiled: "Mr. Yijue, since you came here today to celebrate the king's birthday, why didn't you prepare two lines of poetry?"

Shen Yi froze for a moment, then lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and thought of something.

"My lord, such things as poetry and prose are always flashes of inspiration, but I came across a few sentences at the end of next year, which can be used to celebrate my lord's birthday."

Prince Jin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, with a calm expression: "Young Master Shen, come and listen?"

Shen Yi nodded silently, and after glancing at Li Mu, he bit the bullet and read out.

"Everyone is one year old now..."

After he finished reading the beginning of this sentence, which tasted like doggerel, he paused, glanced at the expressions of the father and son, and continued to read.

"It's not that the world prefers me to be old."

　The angry brain hurts, the update is late...
