Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 81
Lao Zhu is really happy about this Northern Expedition victory. He usually advocates frugality, but today he is generous.

There is wine and meat, but the premise cannot be wasted.

Zhu Biao took Zhu Di to stand by to watch the palace ladies and eunuchs set up a banquet, and Princess Lin'an came over with a pastry.

She tugged at Zhu Biao's clothes, and said softly, "Brother, here you are."

Zhu Biao lowered his head, glanced at Zhu Di and smiled at her, "Why don't you give it to the fourth child."

"Brother, it's gone." Princess Lin'an squeezed a piece into her mouth, and opened her hand to Zhu Di: "Hey, it's gone."

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao laughed out loud, and Zhu Xi and Zhu Bian who were beside them saw her and ran over to talk too.

"Play with me later."

In her opinion, it was a good deal for Xiao Dian to play with her instead.

Zhu Biao took her pastry and took a symbolic bite, Lin'an clapped his hands happily when he saw it.

"The cakes in Lin'an are delicious, and my elder brother likes them very much." Zhu Biao looked at his sister and said kindly.

Zhu Di pinched her face and asked, "Why don't you play with them today?"

"I don't want it, they wrote a poem that's awesome..." Lin'an folded his arms and hummed.

Zhu Biao patted her head, returned the pastry to her and said, "Big brother will teach you something about pastry."

"Okay, okay." Princess Lin'an clapped her hands and applauded: "My favorite food."

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, a plate of pastries is delightful."

"There is no date for your return. Steamed goose pancakes with crispy chicken."

It looks like a spoof, but for Princess Lin'an, it's Noh fun for a long time, and for her sister, Zhu Biao is not that particular.

Xu Miaowei, Xu Miaoyun and Chang Meirong walked over with a group of women, Princess Lin'an waved her hand and said, "Sister Miaowei, do you want cakes?"

Xu Miaowei came over with a folding fan, glanced at Zhu Biao, then lowered her head and said, "I have seen Your Highness."

Then he took Lin'an's hand: "You eat."

Xu Miaoyun and Chang Meirong all saluted Zhu Biao: "I have met His Royal Highness, the fourth prince."

Ministers and family members are distinguished, and Zhu Biao and Zhu Di entertain these noble sons and daughters.

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Miaoyun, nodded slightly, this is the girl his father promised him.

"Everyone, please take a seat at the front." Zhu Biao said to a group of female relatives.

Chang Meirong searched for Zhu Biao's figure out of the corner of her eye. Yesterday, after hearing from her father that she would be betrothed to His Highness the Crown Prince, there was always something strange when meeting her.

Zhu Biao didn't feel anything. As usual, he noticed that someone was looking at him, and when he turned his head, he found that everyone was talking.

Xu Miaowei, who was seated, stared at Zhu Biao's back, full of admiration, Xu Miaoyun next to her coughed twice, and then she turned her head to talk to Princess Lin'an and the others.

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Miaoyun and said to Zhu Biao: "Brother, it's her, two female students."

"Fourth, what do you think?" As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, those honorable sons came forward to salute.

"Chang Mao has met His Royal Highness, the fourth prince."

"Xu Yungong has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Tang Ding has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Geng Xuan has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Liu Lian has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Then the two brothers Fu Rang, Deng Zhen, Li Qi and Hu Peng, and Feng Sheng's son Feng Zhi also came.

Everyone complimented Zhu Biao for a while, and by the way, Zhu Di was also praised.

Chang Mao and Feng Zhi respectfully said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness is young and promising, and has repeatedly made national policies. We all admire him."

Afterwards, Li Qi, Tang Ding, and the others also came over to talk, their voices of praise were a bit loud, and countless pairs of eyes of the woman inside saw it.

The people around looked at Zhu Biao with a little more admiration. This is the future prince of Ming Dynasty, and they will have to hug his thigh in the future.

Countless figures came in from all directions, and some of them headed towards the extremely wide area in the middle.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go in too."

The tables are arranged in two long paths, one side is for men, the other side is for women, and there are tables behind the two sides. The general's family and children are all here, adding up to a grand scene.

Zhu Biao entertained these princes and ladies instead of Lao Zhu, and his position was in the middle.

Mu Ying didn't know where she went today, she was called away by Queen Ma in the morning, and she hasn't come back yet.

Among the female relatives, apart from the two ladies of the Xu family who are outstanding in appearance, they are the daughters of Chang Meirong and Feng Sheng's family.

These people vary in age, but today are all invited.

Zhu Biao looked around and saw that almost all the people had arrived, so he raised his glass to signal everyone to start.

Chang Mao was very happy, sitting there with a smile on his face, anyone who understands what giving a marriage means.

Hu Peng and Li Qi were together, and the two gathered together and talked.

Xu Yungong and Chang Mao also talked, nothing more than congratulating each other.

Except for greetings, Tang Ding didn't say much else. Tang He always told him to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Just let him deal with it calmly, don't get too close, and don't be too unfamiliar, Tang Ding remembered Tang He's words and sat in his seat.

Zhu Di is sitting next to Zhu Biao, they have different styles.

Zhu Di has the temperament of a tiger, but Zhu Biao exudes elegance. If you look closely, you will find that he has both, and there is an invisible sense of oppression for the sons of generals.

At the celebration banquet, everyone sat in their seats drinking and eating.

Today, Miss Chang's mood can be said to be shy and nervous. She always remembers Mrs. Chang Lan Caiyun's advice to go out, and always pays attention to her demeanor.

Xu Miaoyun glanced at Zhu Di, and continued to sit quietly. For her, she admired Zhu Di very much.

Xu Miaowei poked the dishes in the bowl with her chopsticks. She admired Zhu Biao during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

I heard from my father that he proposed the resident register at a young age, and Haihe paralleled these things.

She thinks that men should be like this, many things have to be changed if there are problems, those history books are not the best lesson.

She was very angry once when she heard some officials talking about the prince's policies. What do they know?

Just like women like men, why do they have to wait for men to take the initiative, but women can't.

She didn't dare to say this, because her father would definitely scold her.

Many ladies also looked at these young masters.Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince, and seeing them again, it feels dull.

But who made them so unlucky that they couldn't even win the prince's favor, so they had to settle for the next best thing.

"I have seen His Highness the Prince." Mu Ying walked in from the gate, and hurriedly approached Zhu Biao to sit down.

Zhu Di ordered someone to arrange bowls, chopsticks, food and drinks for Muying.

Mu Ying stood up and said, "Thank you Fourth Prince, thank you Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Biao nodded to him, and when the celebration banquet was over, he had to ask where he was just now.

　Qinggong Building did not exist at that time.

　　Song Lian's "Zhang Zhongzhuan" records that Zhu Yuanzhang did build a building in Nanjing called Zhongqin Building, where the advisers and generals around him discussed military plans.It has been written in the poems of Wang Guangyang, Tao An and others.

　　Qinggong Building may be a fictionalized structure based on Zhongqin Building in later generations.
