After the discussion of restaurants and restaurants is over, the monarch and his ministers officially enter the banquet.
After the maids filled the wine glasses in front of everyone, the emperor raised the glasses to the sky and said, "Welcome the old and usher in a good year. I wish the dragon banquet country in the new year: good weather and good rain, and peace and prosperity for the country and the people!"
The others also raised their cups to the sky, and said in unison: "The weather is good and the rain is safe, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"
Afterwards, all the wine in the wine glasses of the monarch and minister was spilled on the ground, with a very serious and sincere expression!
After doing these actions, the monarch and minister sat down.
Afterwards, the emperor smiled and said, "Ai Qingqing, today's New Year's Day, everyone eat and drink well. Today, there is no distinction between rulers and ministers, as long as everyone is happy!"
The sage said that there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, but we dare not really do not distinguish between monarchs and ministers.
At any time, facing the king of a country, one must be careful.
As soon as the emperor finished saying this, the third prince couldn't wait to stand up and said to the emperor, "Father, this time my son went to the south to investigate Zhou Anping, the governor's mansion in Qingfeng City, where he accidentally obtained a few treasures. The son-in-law gave it to his father as a gift.
I wish the father and emperor good health, and the dragon and the tiger leap! "
After listening to the emperor, there was no expression on his face, but he seemed to be somewhat interested and said, "Oh, what kind of treasure?"
The third prince said, "A 500-year-old ginseng, a 300-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and a Tianshan snow lotus!"
As soon as the third prince's words fell, the people who were present again were surprised.
It's no ordinary treasure!
Although 500-year-old ginseng is not as precious as 1,000-year-old ginseng, it is also hard to find. The old Ganoderma lucidum is even more difficult to find, and there is Tianshan Snow Lotus, a precious medicinal material for strengthening the body.
Each one is rare.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that your chest was tight and uncomfortable a few days ago? This Ganoderma lucidum is an elixir to expel these patients!" The imperial concubine said to the emperor with a smile.
At this moment, the queen is also a rare echo of the imperial concubine, and said with concern, "Emperor, the concubine immediately asks the imperial kitchen to cook a Lingzhi soup for you to eat. After all, your health is important!"
After listening to the emperor, he didn't show liking or happiness, he just nodded and said, "Well, the third one, you really have a heart!"
Seeing the emperor's lack of joy and anger, the third prince's heart sank, and then a dark hatred emerged.
Why is it that the crown prince can only get a few cherries to get his compliment, and the few treasures he has worked so hard to get only get a faint "heart".
The father is really too partial.
However, he still said with a smile, "It's right for my son to be filial to his father and emperor!"
After the third prince presented the gifts, all the other princes and grandsons offered the gifts they had prepared.
Just because the third prince Zhuyu was in front, the gifts of the other princes and grandsons seemed a little eclipsed.
"Father, my son found a painting and calligraphy of Song Ci and gave it to the father. I wish the father good health and live younger!"
"Royal father, my son has found an official kiln ceramic product from the pre-Jing Dynasty. Please take a look at the emperor! I wish the emperor good health, and the country and the people of Longyan are safe!"
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson prayed for you at Lingyin Temple. The abbot gave my grandson a jade pendant that had been opened, which would surely keep people safe for life. The grandson gave the jade pendant to Grandpa Huang, and I wished Grandpa Huang's health better and better. Well, Longyan's national army is strong and strong, and it is getting richer and richer!"
...
After these people presented gifts one by one, it turned out that the remaining two did not move.
One is Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu, and the other is Emperor Sun Yuwen Xuhong!
Therefore, everyone looked at the two of them, and the third prince looked at them, even a little provocative.
The third prince smiled and said to the two, "eldest brother, nephew, what kind of gifts did you prepare for the father?"
In fact, he had some guesses about the gift that the prince was going to give, but he was not sure about the gift that the eldest grandson was going to give.
It's just that he gritted his teeth secretly when he thought of the gift that the prince was going to give.
Obviously that thing belonged to him, but Zhou Anping, a cunning person, secretly gave it to the prince, which really **** him off.
However, even if the prince took out that gift, it was nothing compared to the gift he gave. This made him feel a little more balanced.
The prince and the eldest grandson looked at each other, and after that, the prince stood up and said to the emperor, "Father, my son got a purple cloud flower by chance and gave it to the father, wishing the father more and more young, dragon The banquet country is getting stronger and stronger!"
This time the emperor seemed to be a little more interested and said, "Oh, Ziyunhua?"
The crown prince said, "Yes, the royal father!" Having said that, he asked his confidant to hold out the pot of purple cloud flowers.
As soon as I see the green leaves, the purple cloud flower, planted in a small flower pot, it makes people feel comfortable.
This time, people were surprised for a moment.
This year's New Year gifts for the princes are really surprising and unexpected.
In the past, it was not calligraphy and painting, but jade pendants or something.
Today is a good day. The gifts from the third prince are all treasures, and the gifts from the prince are also treasures.
It's just that for the emperor of his current age, the prince's gift seems to be more in line with the emperor's heart.
The emperor said to the prince again, "Well, the prince really has a heart!"
The third prince was completely blackened at this time.
Why is the father so eccentric?
Obviously his gift is more valuable, isn't it?
Why is it the prince who is praised again?
The third prince secretly hated again in his heart.
The object of his secret hatred is of course the prince.
He thinks that the prince stole everything from him.
It's just that he has to endure it now.
After the prince's gifts were delivered, only the eldest grandson was left.
In the past, every gift from the eldest grandson of the emperor was considered quite satisfactory, so I don't know what happened this time.
However, what is disappointing is that this time the gift is still quite satisfactory, neither too bad nor too good.
Send a copy of the Buddhist scriptures!
As the emperor got older, he believed in Buddhism more and more, and he would recite sutras and chanting Buddha for half a day on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The gifts of the princes and grandsons are finished. According to the previous process, it is time for the monarchs and ministers to eat, drink and have fun.
At this moment, Jiang Yunfeng suddenly stood up and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, after this Chinese New Year, Nan'er should be twenty-five. Other people's children are in their teens, but Nan'er is still single. I'm worried!" He said with a worried look on his face.
No one expected that Jiang Yunfeng would suddenly talk about Jiang Zhennan's marriage after a good New Year.
It's just that Jiang Yunfeng said so, but no one thinks that Jiang Yunfeng is really worried about Jiang Zhennan.
Including the emperor.
The emperor winked, and asked lightly, "Oh, Jiang Aiqing, listen to what you mean, do you have a suitable candidate? I don't know who is the daughter of the Aiqing family?"
When the emperor said this, the corner of his eye glanced at Jiang Zhennan's expression next to him.
But what disappointed him a little was that the wood was still the same as before, and there was no fluctuation in the cold face.
Jiang Yunfeng said immediately, "It's Zeng Yanli, the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Household!"
"What?" The emperor was stunned at first, but then there was a sense of anger in his heart.
Who is this Zeng Yanli? Even if he is sitting in the palace, he has heard of it.
Listening to this name, Zeng Yanli, don't think she is really a beautiful woman.
In fact, this woman is fat and fat, that's all, after all, the beauty of the soul is the real beauty.
But this woman's heart is not at all beautiful, she is short-tempered, arrogant and domineering, and she will kill people at every turn.
When encountering those noble women in the capital, as long as their status is lower than her, she will find an excuse to teach them a lesson, so that those officials whose official position is higher than the minister of the household can only swallow their anger when they see their children being bullied.
After all, in their opinion, this is just a petty fight between the children, and it is impossible for adults like them to come forward and teach Zeng Yanli a lesson.
Therefore, this is Zeng Yanli, and none of those noble families dare to marry, only those small families who flatter the servants of the household will let their son marry this shrew, and this son is only Could be the heir.
But what's even more surprising is that Zeng Yanli said that there were five marriages, two of which were not passed. One of the fiancés fell to his death immediately during the wedding, and the other heard that he was going to marry a shrew. was immediately frightened to death.
The other three relatives were all after passing the door. One husband was drowned when he was passing by the pond; the other was unable to stand the shrew and hanged himself to death. The last one was a joke. And die.
After her last husband died, Zeng Yanli felt ashamed, she simply packed up and returned to her parents' home.
It's just that this temperament remains unchanged.
He was so angry that the minister of the household would send this wicked girl to a nunnery several times, and the lonely old man would grow old for life.
It's just that his mother-in-law loves her daughter and hangs herself every three days, so she is not allowed to do so.
After so many deaths of the direct descendant, no one's direct descendant is precious, so even if he wants to go up to the top, he will not bear the direct descendant.
It is impossible for the direct son and grandson, so the concubine will come.
However, the status of the concubine is low, which Zeng Yanli does not look down on at all, and she commits suicide all day long and does not marry.
Therefore, Zeng Yanli has been staying at her parents' home for several years, and she has never talked about marriage again.
Now this Jiang Yunfeng suddenly proposed such a marriage, hehe, what a joke.
Does he really think that if Kefu is matched with the evil star, everything will be all right? Or a couple made in heaven?
He really farts.
Jiang Zhennan is a dignified general of the country, even if he is an evil star, he is more than enough to match any daughter, even a princess.
The emperor asked, "Jiang Aiqing, I heard that Zeng Yanli has a bad reputation, and she is still a woman. How could you let her betrothed to my general of the township?"
Hearing this tone, the emperor was displeased.
It's just that Jiang Yunfeng and his wife were so intent on bridging this marriage that they didn't notice the emperor's tone.
