Chapter 250 Before the sixth major festival

Chapter 250 Before the sixth major festival

In the palace, Emperor Chengwu was in a very happy mood, and walked around with a wine glass to drink with his courtiers.Xuan Le shuttled among the courtiers, greeting them with cold and warm greetings.

Quite a number of courtiers had discovered that Zhu Daguan was not present, and Shen Baigong and others even shook their heads and sighed.In their eyes, Zhu Daguan had chosen the wrong prince, and this was not an easy fall.

Judging from the current situation, Xuan Le is of course not allowed to be the only prince who succeeds Emperor Cheng Wu. No matter how prestigious Zhu Tianjiang is, he may end up in a miserable end in the future.Don't look at Xuan Le's compliments to Zhu Tianjiang, all the officials in the court knew that they were not the same people at all.As long as Xuan Le came to power, Zhu Tianjiang's power would definitely plummet.

Emperor Cheng Wu glanced at all the ministers, then turned to ask Prince Jing, "Brother Wang, why didn't this boy from Heaven come?"

Prince Jing rolled his eyelids, and said to himself, "I saw him just now, maybe he went down to toast."

Emperor Cheng Wu said in his heart that you, Prince Jing, knew that you were talking nonsense with your eyes open. There were only two tables for first-rank officials, and he couldn't see how many people there were.

"Prince Jing, in the spring of the next year, I plan to make Le'er the crown prince and heir. You, the uncle of the emperor, should help him more." Emperor Cheng Wu turned the topic to Xuan Le.

"Hehe, Xuan Le is very good at winning people's hearts, so you don't have to worry too much about it. To be honest, even I didn't expect Le'er to go to Zhu Tianjiang's mansion and handle the relationship with the courtiers properly."

Prince Jing raised his wine glass as he said, "Brother Huang, the Dafeng Dynasty has gone through ups and downs this year, and finally there is a spirit in the ancestors, and protect my Li family from being plundered by foreign thieves. Come! My younger brother also toasts you." .”

Emperor Cheng Wu happily picked up the wine glass, and the two brothers drank it down in one gulp.For so many years, Emperor Cheng Wu could not remember how many sieges Prince Jing helped him out of. Without Prince Jing's help, Emperor Cheng Wu might not be able to secure his throne.

"Brother Wang, Mrs. Guo is not in good health. If you are free, please go and visit on behalf of my brother."

Although Mrs. Guo's serious illness was hidden from the ministers, after the diagnosis and treatment at the Imperial Hospital, the matter could not be hidden from Emperor Cheng Wu.

King Jing nodded silently after hearing this, "Brother Huang, I think you should be more cautious about the adjustment of the personnel of the Ministry of War. Tianxin is deeply supported by all the soldiers, and his suggestion, I think it is better to adopt it. "

Emperor Cheng Wu just smiled, but did not answer Prince Jing's words.For so many years, the Dafeng Dynasty was stable on the surface, but in fact it had internal and external troubles. Emperor Chengwu had to let some courtiers form cliques.In the end, the result of laissez-faire was that Zhou Yantian took away the entire northern camp to rebel against him.Now Tianqing is too busy to take care of himself, and Dangyun is working hard to manage the situation. Of course, Emperor Chengwu will not let go of such a good opportunity to rectify the army.No matter who came to dissuade him, Emperor Chengwu made up his mind to firmly control the Dafeng military power in the hands of people he trusted.

Emperor Cheng Wu put down the wine glass in his hand, and sighed secretly in his heart.The external worries of the Dafeng Dynasty have been resolved, but internal troubles still exist.At present, what worries Emperor Cheng Wu the most is Zhu Tianjiang's uneasy factor.

In the spring of the next year, Zhu Tianxiang will accept his two wives into the mansion.It can be said that invisibly, the Guo family and Prince Jing's residence have been tied to Zhu Tianjiang's chariot.It doesn't matter if Prince Jing is here, the key is the prestige of the Guo family and Zhu Tianxiang in the army, which makes Emperor Chengwu feel faintly uneasy.

Compared with the lively atmosphere in the palace, the Guo Mansion looked miserable.Due to the old lady's serious illness, even the festive atmosphere in the mansion has dimmed a lot.

In the bedroom in the backyard, Lin Feng endured his grief and sat beside the old lady's bed.For so many years, it was the first time that Lin Feng entered the old lady's bedroom openly.

After Guo Tianxin returned to Beijing, Lin Feng almost never stepped into the gate of Guo Mansion.His identity has almost been made public in the Guo Mansion, it is impossible for Guo Tianxin not to know Lin Feng's identity.The dignified Dafeng Dynasty's sticky boss had hidden in his mansion for nearly 20 years, and Guo Tianxin would definitely figure out the reason.Guo Tianxin is not stupid, he can guess who Lin Feng is for with a simple reasoning, and he will hide for 20 years.

Both Guo Tianxin and Lin Feng didn't want to pierce this layer of embarrassment, in order to preserve a bit of the dignity of the General's Mansion.The old lady specially chose Guo Tianxin to let Lin Feng come over when she participated in the memorial ceremony, also to avoid Guo Tianxin and Lin Feng meeting.

The door of the room was closed tightly, and several guards of the mansion stood at the door and waited. No one knew what the old lady said to Lin Feng in the room.But when Lin Feng came out, he had an extra delicate wooden box in his hand.

Lin Feng returned to Zhu's Mansion with a blank expression. As soon as he entered his small courtyard, Lin Feng told his servants not to disturb him, he needed to be quiet.

In the front hall, Zhu Daguan was almost driven crazy.A few girls didn't know who was leading the hair, so they put on jewelry one after another, and asked Mr. Zhu to write a poem for each of them according to the time and situation.If one person writes a poem, it will be difficult for Mr. Zhu.Didn't they know that a girl's heart is a bottomless pit, and Zhu Tianxiang is almost at the end of his rope.If I knew it would be so boring to come back alone, I might as well have some fun in the palace.

Once the sacrificial ceremony was over, the capital city seemed to be covered with a layer of colorful clothes, and every household was welcoming the arrival of the new year.

Zhu Tianjiang actually got a few private gifts from Yelu Douha, and came to the palace in a sedan chair.Zhu Tianjiang was not giving gifts to Emperor Chengwu, he was giving the harem and Princess Jing.

Xuan Le's biological mother, Concubine Dong Gui, is even more expensive based on her mother and son, and has become the empress of the West Palace second only to Queen Rong.Ping Guiren, the mother of the fourth prince Xuanzhu, was also promoted to the rank of noble concubine and became one of the main concubines of the harem.

Under the guidance of the eunuch on duty, Zhu Tianjiang brought Daniel to the East Palace.Empress Rong rewarded Hong Xiaoqing with an official title, so he should thank him as an older brother.

"Minister Zhu Tianjiang, I greet the empress~!" Zhu Tianjiang shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Empress Rong smiled, "Lord Zhu, excuse me~!"

Who in Dafeng Dynasty didn't know that Zhu Tianjiang didn't like to kneel down, he yelled loudly, but his legs didn't bend.

"Master Zhu is busy with business, why come to this harem when you have time?" Concubine Rong asked dignifiedly while sitting on a chair.

"Miss Qiantui, the day after tomorrow is a big festival. Tianxiang was entrusted by my younger sister, and I came here to thank Empress Qiantui for her kindness. Tianxiang didn't bring any presents. I have a little thing here, and I hope that Niang Qiantui likes it." Zhu Tian As Jiang said, he took out a fiery red gemstone phoenix hairpin from his sleeve pocket.

This thing is Yelu Douha's private collection, and Zhan Ling is usually not allowed to see it.If it wasn't for Zhu Tianxiang's haggling to give up [-]% of the profits of Zhu Ji Yinlou, Yelu Douha would never have offered these treasures.

Don't look at Empress Rong as Dafeng, this is the first time I have seen such a crystal clear baby.

"Oh my god, it's so ingenious, where did you get this thing?" Queen Rong held it in her hand fondly.

"Hey, this is a family tradition from the younger generation. If the queen hadn't made up my younger sister, I wouldn't be willing to take it out. Since the queen mother likes it, then I can rest assured." Zhu Tian said in his heart that this thing was a red tourmaline in his previous life, Not worth a few bucks.

While the two were talking, they heard someone talking to Daniel outside, "Daniu, why are you here?"

"My lord came to pay respects to the empress, so of course this stick-wielding envoy will follow."

When Zhu Tianxiang heard this, he thought something bad was going to happen, and just as he wanted Empress Rong to quickly put Fengchai away, he saw Princess Seven running in.

"Master Zhu, you also come to give presents to the queen mother. How can I set an example? Do you have my share? Hey! Queen mother, this~ oh my god, it's so beautiful~!" The seventh princess found the phoenix hairpin in her mother's hand and snatched it away. past.

"Be careful, you child, don't break it." Rong Guifei smiled helplessly.

If it is in front of other ministers, this is a shameful thing.But Zhu Tianjiang had saved the harem once, and Concubine Rong Gui didn't treat him as an outsider.

"Is this from you?" Seventh Princess asked with pouted lips.

"Yuexin, this is a family heirloom from heaven, I don't know if I should accept it or not." Concubine Rong said with a smile.

The Seventh Princess didn't believe Zhu Tianjiang's nonsense, and looked at Zhu Tianjiang with a smirk, "To be honest, did Dou Ha sell it to you?"

"What nonsense, she doesn't have this thing." Zhu Tian said in his heart that Yelu Douha had repeatedly told him not to say that she gave it to him.If a few girls found out about this, it would be strange if they didn't turn the courtyard upside down.

"Since this is the case, then I want it too." Seventh Princess stretched out her little hand, as if she couldn't finish without giving.

"You child, how can you ask courtiers for things. Heavenly descendants, don't take it seriously, I'm spoiled by this girl." Empress Rong said with a wry smile.

"No, if he doesn't give it, I'll lock him in my bedroom and never let him go out." Seventh Princess said stubbornly.

However, after finishing speaking, the Seventh Princess immediately realized that this statement was inappropriate.A princess who was not out of the court unexpectedly locked a big man in her bedroom, and her words revealed infinite ambiguity.

Zhu Tianxiang quickly coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.The seventh princess blushed, and glared resentfully, "I'll settle the score with you later, mother, I'll go out first." After speaking, the seventh princess bit her lip and ran out with her head down.

Concubine Rong secretly sighed in her heart, as a mother, she couldn't see what her daughter was thinking.Unexpectedly, there are rules in the ancestral system, members of the royal family are not allowed to marry the same husband, which makes Concubine Rong very helpless.

Zhu Tianxiang chatted a few words about Hong Xiaoqing and Xuanzhu in embarrassment, and hurriedly got up to leave.For the love of the Seventh Princess, Zhu Daguan is like a mirror in his heart.In the past, Zhu Tianxiang didn't care about these things, the more the better.But now, Zhu Daguan didn't dare to pick up the hydrangea again.

After leaving the East Palace, Zhu Tianjiang and Daniel came to Concubine Ping's courtyard.Among the several princes, Zhu Tianjiang felt that only Concubine Ping was the most low-key.It's even a little tasteless.Even when Xuanzhu was seriously ill, her biological mother hadn't visited her a few times, let alone the disputes between the princes.

"Minister~Zhu Tianjiang, kowtow to see your mother for a thousand years~!" Zhu Tianjiang clasped his fists and shouted with his head down.

"Master Zhu is dead~!"

"Thank you, Madam, for a thousand years~!" Zhu Tianjiang took advantage of the situation and straightened his back.

Visiting the palace during this season is basically for giving gifts.Zhu Tianjiang didn't make any detours, and took out the gift directly.Concubine Ping's performance was not as straightforward as Queen Rong's, she just glanced at it and put it on the table.

"Master Zhu, I would like to thank you for your rescue of Zhu'er. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

"Your Majesty is serious. His Highness Xuanzhu and I are brothers and sisters, and I only succeeded by chance." Zhu Tianxiang said modestly.

If other courtiers say this, it will be embarrassing.As a courtier, he dared to feel like brotherhood with the prince. Isn't this putting gold on his face?But these words came from the mouth of Zhu Daguan, no one would think that he was flattering the royal family.

"Lord Zhu, Zhu'er is blessed to have a confidant like you. However, I would like to advise you that there are some things that you will lose even more after you get them. Zhu'er can give up the fight for the throne, Bengong is very pleased. I don't ask him to be superior, but to live a peaceful life."

Listening to Concubine Ping's indifferent words, Zhu Tianxiang felt as if he was talking to a monk master, and there was a sense of Zen everywhere.

Concubine Ping is well maintained. From her appearance, she seems to be only in her thirties.In terms of appearance, she is also better than the former Empress Feng.Zhu Tianjiang was also wondering why such an indifferent beauty has always been a nobleman.

Zhu Tianjiang didn't dare to stay longer, after hearing a few words of advice, Zhu Tianjiang got up and said goodbye.Coming outside the palace, Zhu Tianjiang saw many courtiers waiting outside the palace.They can't just report their ranks like Zhu Tianjiang, and they can enter. If they want to give gifts, they have to go through the eunuch on duty.Therefore, this season is also the time when eunuchs get rich.

Concubine Dong Guifei heard about Zhu Tianxiang's entry into the palace to give gifts immediately. She did not expect that Zhu Tianjiang went to the East Palace and Concubine Ping's courtyard, but did not come to pay her respects. Dissatisfaction suddenly arose in her heart.

Official Zhu didn't care who the mother of Concubine Dong Gui was, the reason for giving gifts to Empress Rong was because of Hong Xiaoqing, and going to Concubine Ping was for Xuanzhu's sake.As for the other noble concubines in the harem, Zhu Tianjiang didn't even bother to visit.

Just as Zhu Tianjiang left the palace, a person came to stop Zhu Tianjiang's official sedan chair.Zhu Tianxiang opened the sedan chair curtain and saw that it was Doctor Cai.

"Doctor Cai, you are not staying in the imperial hospital, what are you doing here blocking my way?" Zhu Tianjiang asked while sitting in the sedan chair.

"Master Zhu, I am here to wait for you." Imperial Physician Cai said respectfully.

"Oh? Wait for me? Let's talk about it first. I don't have any secret recipes I want."

Imperial Physician Cai shook his head, "My lord, I am not here to ask for some secret recipe, but to ask you to help Mrs. Guo again."

When Zhu Tianxiang heard this, he quickly waved his hands, "I said Doctor Cai, it's not that I can't help, but that I don't have the ability. I'm a human being, not a god. Mrs. Guo is old, and I don't have the strength to recover. "

Imperial Physician Cai was stunned, "My lord, Mrs. Guo is highly respected, is there really nothing you can do?"

"My God, curing diseases and saving lives is the business of your Tai Hospital, and it is not under the jurisdiction of me, the Security Envoy." Zhu Tianjiang smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking that this old guy really regarded himself as a god.

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Cai sighed sadly, "Ah! If this is the case, it seems that Mrs. Guo has really reached her limit, and this humble minister is helpless."

Zhu Tianjiang was taken aback, "Why, is Mrs. Guo serious?"

Imperial Physician Cai looked up at Zhu Tianjiang, "Ten days sooner, twenty days later, if the old lady doesn't have a miracle~ah~!" Imperial Physician Cai shook his head as he said.

Zhu Tianxiang was startled, he didn't expect Mrs. Guo to be so serious.If it is true what Imperial Physician Cai said, then he can't even wait for his own wedding date.

"Doctor Cai, let's go! Go to the Guo Mansion!"

Zhu Tianjiang said solemnly with a cold face, and immediately ordered Daniel to change his way to Zhennan General's Mansion.Anyway, the old lady treated him well, Zhu Tianjiang had to find a way to delay the old lady's life until after the wedding!
