Royal Beloved Black Wife

  Chapter 121 The mighty, unlucky Father Chu (1)

  The time has come to the Lantern Festival. On this day, Mrs. Zhang received a lot of boxing gifts. According to the habits of previous years, he will return most of them. But this time, he accepted them all, and gave them all in return.

   "Mother, I want to eat another bowl!" A seven-year-old girl stood on tiptoe and handed the drained bowl to the grandma, "Give me another bowl!"

   Beside her, a woman who was making a Lantern Festival was startled when she saw this scene: "Yan'er! Why are you drinking?"

   The little girl blinked naively: "Wine? This is wine! No wonder Daddy loves drinking so much, wine is so delicious! Sweet and sour, so fragrant, uh, delicious!"

  The woman was made to cry and laugh, your drunk dad is not eating such exquisite wine!

   But in the end, it’s wine, just steal a few mouthfuls, but it’s not worth it if you have too much.

The woman snatched the bowl from her daughter's hand, stuffed her with a bowl of boiled dumplings, and asked the grandmother, "Where did you buy this plum wine?"

  Grandma smiled and said, "If you go back to Madam, this is not bought, it's a gift from the grandfather!"

  In the splendid palace, His Majesty, Shangguanyi, Empress Zhuangsu and the heirs sat around a table, watching the opera performance in the middle of the lake, and eating the Lantern Festival family banquet.

   His Majesty was in his prime, but his heirs were a little weak. Apart from the eldest prince of Shangguanyi, only the fourth prince, who had a romantic relationship with the palace maid, survived to this day. His Majesty has a deep affection for him and treats him quite tolerantly.

  The fourth prince climbed up to the dining table with his trouser legs and went to get the jug placed in front of His Majesty: "Is there any more?"

   Grandma Tan was terrified, this is not the Weiyang Palace, little ancestor! The person in front of you is not your aunt, but your father and mother. How come you don't understand the rules so much?

   hugged the Fourth Prince, Tan Ma said with lingering fear: "I can't, I can't, Fourth Highness!"

  The fourth prince rolled his black pearl-like eyes and said softly, "But I want to drink it!"

   Then, he looked at Empress Zhuang Su, who was dressed in a purple palace dress and looked elegant, "Isn't that right, Aunt Huang? It's delicious, right?"

   Queen Zhuang Su fondly patted his head: "Yes, it's delicious."

   The eldest prince glanced at his ignorant younger brother, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, how old is he, and he still eats and drinks all day? Can you read? Can you recite poetry? Can you ride an archery? Nothing!

Not knowing that he was despised by his elder brother, the fourth prince stretched out his chubby little arms, fetched a wine bottle, poured himself a glass, and then poured it for the eldest prince: "Brother, this plum wine is really good, you too Have a taste."

  The eldest prince looked at him proudly, picked up the tea milk at hand and said, "I'm not used to drinking."

  The fourth prince knew that he was disliked by his elder brother, and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

   His Majesty ignored the little friction between the two, and asked Shangguan Yi, who was on the side, "Did you give the gift to the Queen Mother?"

  Shangguanyi smiled and said, "I gave it away. It's a beautiful couch made of Hetian jade, as well as thousand-year-old ginseng, deer antler and Cordyceps sinensis. I gave it away."

   Although Her Majesty is not the Queen Mother herself, she respects the Queen Mother very much. During the festivals, she will always send someone to visit her and ask her if she wants to go back to the palace.

   "Still not going back this time?" His Majesty asked.

  Shangguanyi laughed dryly: "The queen mother said that she is used to the quietness there, and... she is reluctant to bear her father and His Majesty Sejong."

   His Majesty gave a "hmm" and didn't ask any further questions. He picked up the fourth prince and poured it to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince didn't drink the plum wine, and took a sip.

  This wine is refreshing in the throat, warm and dirty in the lower abdomen, and has a different sweetness and sourness after the aftertaste.

   "Which royal chef made it?" He asked with a hint of surprise.

  Shangguanyi smiled charmingly and said, "There is no way to make such a delicious wine in the palace. It is Mr. Zhang's New Year's gift to His Majesty."

   His Majesty smiled heartily: "This old man is finally willing to return my New Year's gift! I have given it for fifteen years!"

   This time, it's not the New Year's ceremony, it's the attitude, it's the attitude!

   A table of people, knowing why he was excited, all laughed in support of the venue.

   After drinking the plum wine, he felt relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I haven't tasted such delicious plum wine for many years. When my brother was alive, I had this kind of good fortune once."

   Once, I remembered it for half my life, that taste will always linger in my heart.

   Speaking of Sejong, the atmosphere on the table suddenly froze.

   Empress Zhuang Su twitched the corners of her lips and raised her glass, "I'll give you a toast to Your Majesty."

   His Majesty realized that he had made my sister-in-law sad, and smiled shyly, clinking glasses with my sister-in-law, and after drinking, he nodded and said, "Good wine! Good wine!"

   looked at the servant behind the command, "Anything else? If there is, send two jars to the Queen Mother."

  The inner servant blessed his body and said with a smile, "No, Mr. Zhang only gave one jar."

   His Majesty's face stinks: "Stingy!"

   Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and smile again.

  The fourth prince was not used to being big or small with Empress Zhuang Su, so he was not afraid when he saw His Majesty, jumped off the ground and climbed onto his lap.

   The eldest prince frowned again, crawling? How old are you still climbing? Who is this you dare to climb? No rules no rules!

   At this moment, His Majesty turned his head and asked his eldest son, who was sitting like an old master like a bell, "I heard from Master Zhang, you have improved in your homework."

   The eldest prince raised his head naturally: "A little progress is not worth mentioning, my son should continue to work hard."

   His Majesty showed a relieved smile.

   The eldest prince gave the fourth prince a contemptuous glance, let's play, anyway, if the game is broken, I, the big brother of the prince, will cover you.

  The Fourth Prince really started playing, lying in His Majesty's arms, hugging His Majesty's neck and asking, "Father, Royal Father, Royal Father, when can I see Sister Immortal?"

   His Majesty frowned: "Sister Fairy?"

  The fourth prince nodded happily: "Yes! Such a beautiful, beautiful fairy sister!"

Seeing His Majesty's puzzled expression, Empress Zhuang Su hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's the girl from the Chu family, it's a coincidence that she saved Si'er twice, once when Si'er fell from a tree, and once from a step. Up and down."
