Daming Wuhou
Chapter 116
Although Zhu Yan asked Lu Changting whether he was married or not, his desire to know was not that strong. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen each other, and it was hard to avoid a sense of unfamiliarity in his speech and actions. Naturally, most of the questions he asked were just from Resolve unfamiliar greetings without necessarily knowing the answer.
After Zhu Di answered on his behalf, Zhu Yan didn't ask any more questions.
At this time Zhu Xun came back, stepped into the door and saw Zhu Xun and Zhu Xun, and was taken aback for a moment, then walked forward with a smile.Zhu Yan was much more talkative than Zhu Di, so he started gossiping with Zhu Fan immediately, and the feeling of unfamiliarity was reduced a lot for a while, and after a while, when Zhu Fan faced Lu Changting, he could smile naturally.
Seeing that it was noon, the prince Zhu Biao also came in. After seeing Lu Changting, he specially smiled at Lu Changting, which immediately attracted Zhu Yan and Zhu Wei to look at him several times.
"Let's go, it's time." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Lu Changting was slightly taken aback, this is wrong, the New Year's Eve dinner should be waited until evening...
Zhu Di reached out and grabbed Lu Changting's wrist, and pulled him up from his seat: "It should be that the arrangement has changed, and all the concubines, princes and princesses will be present at noon."
And it's gone at night?
It seems that there is a distinction between closeness and intimacy when setting up a banquet in the palace, and the one who can sit and eat with Emperor Hongwu after nightfall should be the one he loves the most.
After thinking about it, Lu Changting was led out of the hall by Zhu Di.
I didn't feel it when I was sitting just now, and the light in the hall is not as bright and warm as the outside after all. After walking out, everyone found Lu Changting's appearance, looking like that cold and arrogant young man who is not in the world, he is really very good-looking, called People can't think of words of appreciation for a while.
Zhu Yan still stared at Lu Changting and smiled, making Lu Changting feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at Zhu Bian, then quietly guarded Lu Changting's side, blocking Zhu Bian's gaze without any trace.
Logically speaking, he should be happy that Zhu Di protected him like this, but now Lu Changting just felt his heart sank even more.
The more Zhu Di protects him like this, doesn't it mean that treating him is unusual?
This is really hard to make even a little bit of luck.
Lu Changting kept his head down all the way, without showing any emotion.
Seeing his appearance, Zhu Yan couldn't help but smiled and said in a low voice: "Could it be that you were shy just now?"
Zhu Bing frowned, and slapped Zhu Bing's leg: "What are you talking about?"
This slap awakened Zhu Bian's deeper memory about Zhongdu.At that time, Lu Changting was born to look much smaller...but he was really likable.At that time, Zhu Xing often protected Lu Changting... But... Zhu Xing looked at Zhu Di in front of him.
But how did he become the fourth brother and get closer to him now?
Zhu Yan couldn't think of a reason, because in a blink of an eye, they had already walked into the side hall.Only from the side hall can they enter the main hall.
There were quite a few palace guards in the side hall, and when they came in, they would take off their cloaks for everyone, to clear the cold, and burn their hands...just now a eunuch came to guide them into the main hall.
There are no officials in the hall, many seats are still vacant, and the concubines, princes and daughters have not yet arrived.After all, they were called by the crown prince himself, so they are naturally different.
Lu Changting was thinking that he didn't know how far back he should sit, but then he heard Zhu Di's order to the palace man beside him: "Put Mr. Lu's table case beside me."
The palace servants were stunned for a moment, a little afraid to respond.
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Just do what King Yan said."
Only then did the palace man dare to move his position.
But at this time Lu Changting was not happy at all, he just felt very uncomfortable, especially when he had just discovered Zhu Di's secret... But he couldn't say or show these things, so Lu Changting could only pretend Tsukuru sat down without hesitation.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang also walked into the hall.
Looking at the sons sitting down, all of them looked excellent, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing a gratified smile, but his eyes stopped on Lu Changting for a while, and then he said with a smile: "Why is Changting sitting with the fourth son?" Already in one place?"
Zhu Di smiled: "I'm used to it."
After hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang had personally questioned Lu Changting, Zhu Wei and Zhu Wei couldn't help but looked at Lu Changting even more surprised.
Look at Feng Shui...
What kind of feng shui did he have to see to see the emperor coming!
It would not be so unusual if he was in front of the emperor, but the tone of his father's treatment of him is surprisingly gentle, obviously with the attitude of an elder, how can this not shock people?How many people in this world can do this?When Chang Ting said he was looking at Feng Shui, his tone was too calm!
In the minds of Zhu Bing and Zhu Bing, flashed through at the same time, Lu Changting looked calm and composed when they were in the central capital, such an association... It seems not surprising.
After all, Lu Changting has been so calm and calm since he was a child.
Zhu Wei and Zhu Wei are all the favored sons of heaven, and they don't think that Lu Changting's performance is too heaven-defying.
Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang, after hearing Zhu Di's answer, was still a little surprised: "Are you used to it? Was it like this in Beijing before?"
Zhu Di nodded, and said generously: "Father, when I met him, Changting was only in his early ten years old, and his family was suffering from misfortune. After I brought him back to the palace, he regarded me as an elder brother. The day follows closely, like a bird frightened by the bow. My son is soft-hearted, and every day he asks his servants to put the table beside him when he eats, and he will get used to it after a long time."
In fact, no one who looked at Zhu Di's face would think that he was a soft-hearted person.
Lu Changting felt that he would really open his eyes and tell nonsense.
Several other princes also expressed in their hearts that these words are really stupid!Obviously it's you who never leave each other... They recalled Lu Changting's indifferent appearance back then, and they really couldn't imagine what he looked like when he never left each other...
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard the words: "So that's the case, this is also considered a predestined relationship! It was because the fourth brother was soft-hearted and brought him back to the palace, that's why Changting showed his ability to save the prince today."
It was only then that Zhu Yan and the two suddenly realized.
So it was because he saved the crown prince...
They all knew how much their father loved and valued the prince Zhu Biao, if it was for the prince, it would be normal!
Zhu Di said so generously that he treats him like a brother, and any intimate actions next will not attract attention.
It took Lu Changting a while to figure out the reason behind it.
At this moment, Lu Changting couldn't help but feel that Zhu Di is really...forget it...the word seems wrong...forget it, let's leave it at that.Can a person who can become an emperor in the future be stupid?Of course it is more flexible than others!To say that he is scheming... Maybe it is not an exaggeration!
Zhu Yuanzhang also failed to say a few words to them, because soon, concubines, princes and daughters came to the hall one after another.
When the concubines entered the palace, their attention was originally on Zhu Yuanzhang, but after they sat down with their children, they noticed a completely unfamiliar face on the side of the princes.To them, Lu Changting is of course unfamiliar. After all, although Lu Changting walks around the palace, it is impossible to see the concubine.
Who is this man?The concubines were amazed.
To be able to dress up like this, with the best appearance and temperament, and to be able to sit among the princes.
The concubine in the palace naturally recognizes the adult prince and prince, no matter how you look at it, this shouldn't be a member of the royal family.I don't know which noble son it is...
This is the first question that many concubines think of.
But after they gradually calmed down, it was actually easy to discover Lu Changting's identity.After all, during this period of time, there were many rumors about the Feng Shui master. They all said that he was capable, handsome and handsome, and he was still young.Well done, it's impossible for such a person to appear suddenly in the palace, the only possibility is this Feng Shui master.
The smart concubine has already retracted her gaze.
Soon, after Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the palace banquet began.
On top of such a banquet, what else can one eat?Even if it is at a royal banquet, it is the same as going to a banquet with other people, there is nothing to eat, and the focus is not on eating.
This is rare for so many people in the royal family to gather in one place. In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang’s concubines and princes and princesses were not seen. Only at this time can we see each other. Naturally, we should seize the opportunity to make a good impression in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Kind of pet.
The maids filed in from outside the hall, and placed exquisite dishes on everyone's tables.
Some concubines were no longer focused on it, and they began to try their best to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.Although Zhu Yuanzhang has many concubines, he is really not a womanizer, and the only one who can command his respect is Empress Ma.It doesn't matter what others say, but it will work if Queen Ma says a word.After Empress Ma died of illness, although the concubines did not show it on the surface, they must have their own plans in their hearts. They all felt that this was an opportunity. Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was even more reluctant to step into the harem often.
This rare opportunity, with their children around to increase their favorability, they will naturally not give up.
However, in such an atmosphere, Lu Changting always felt that from the concubine's side, there was a gaze that was always looking at him. That person didn't seem to know how to hide his gaze, so he was spotted by the keen Lu Changting all of a sudden. .
Lu Changting frowned secretly in his heart, he couldn't figure out why the concubine would pay so much attention to him.
He followed this gaze vaguely, and then locked on to a woman.That woman is very young, petite and lovely, judging by her attire, her status should be lower than others.However, although this woman looks young, there is a little girl next to her. That little girl is at most thirteen or fourteen years old. Maybe it is because she inherited it from her mother, so she looks extraordinarily petite and soft. Dressed up in such rich clothes, it is really cute.
But even if he took a look at them, Lu Changting really couldn't figure out why the woman kept staring at him.These two people are complete strangers to him, and he should also be a stranger to them.
While Lu Changting was thinking, suddenly, he felt a warmth on his knee, and it was Zhu Di's palm that came up...
Is Zhu Di teasing him? !
Lu Changting suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, and why the concubine looked at him was forgotten by him.
It would be fine if he didn't know what Zhu Di was thinking, but he had already guessed it, so naturally he felt extremely weird at this time... His heart beat faster unconsciously, as if a fire was burning in his chest.
Lu Changting couldn't help but move his legs.
Zhu Di naturally noticed his reaction, and smiled softly.
This kind of laughter, which seemed to be confident and not worried at all, made Lu Changting extremely unhappy.So with a cold face, he directly pushed Zhu Di's hand away from under the table.
The smile on Zhu Di's face became even wider.
Lu Changting frowned again, fearing that no one could guess what Zhu Di was thinking, at least he couldn't at this time.
"Move your chopsticks." Zhu Yuanzhang said out loud.
Lu Changting stopped looking at Zhu Di, but picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
Zhu Di sighed vaguely, probably because he knew that he couldn't take advantage of Lu Changting.
But when his eyes touched Lu Changting's reddish pinnae, Zhu Di suddenly felt more at ease.
Then the wine was served, and the aroma of the wine began to waft in the hall, spreading a warm breath, even if you haven't drunk the wine yet, you feel warm all over your body.
The discomfort in Lu Changting's heart was slightly relieved.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "What is Concubine Li looking at? I think you have been watching for a long time." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was slightly unhappy.His own concubine paid too much attention to others, so she was naturally unhappy.
Lu Changting glanced in Zhu Yuanzhang's direction, Concubine Li, she was talking about the woman who had been eyeing him just now.
In the setting of empresses and concubines in the early Ming Dynasty, there were not so many regulations on the number of ranks. Except for the empress, they were all concubines and palace concubines.Among them, there are very few famous concubines.There seem to be only nine in the early Ming.This Concubine Li is of course an unknown one.Lu Changting guessed that she was inferior to others, but he was right.
At this time, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all eyes were on Concubine Li. Concubine Li panicked for a moment, probably because there had never been so many people staring at her at the same time.But after all, she has stayed in the palace for a long time, so Concubine Li's adaptability is not weak.
Concubine Li smiled, pointed in the direction of Lu Changting openly and said, "I'm just curious, which family's son is this? You really look good." Concubine Li obviously put on the tone of an elder looking at a junior, naturally It doesn't matter.
Just when can this kind of words be said?Someone glanced vaguely at the little girl next to Concubine Li, and couldn't help but sneer from the bottom of his heart.This is seeing that he can get together with the prince, so he thought that he could find a good home for his daughter!But he didn't think carefully about the identity of this person... A feng shui person is just a low-grade thing among the people. If he hadn't saved the prince and won the emperor's attention, how could he be in the hall?Concubine Li is also a fool!
However, these people sneered from the bottom of their hearts, but none of them wanted to remind Concubine Li.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion was a bit complicated. He knew what Concubine Li meant, but... Although Zhu Yuanzhang could look up to Lu Changting, after all, with Lu Changting's current status, even if Concubine Li fell in love with him, he would not Maybe marry the princess to Lu Changting.If you marry Lu Changting, why not marry the descendants of heroes?
Zhu Yuanzhang acted as if he couldn't understand the meaning of Concubine Li's words, and said calmly: "It was he who saved the life of the prince." No more words.
Concubine Li froze on the spot, she never expected to get such an answer.How, how is it possible?Although there are many rumors in the palace that the one who solved Duanben Palace's feng shui dilemma was a handsome young man, who would believe it?A young man can do such a thing, so what is there left for the Qin Tianjian?And even if the feng shui master was valued, Concubine Li never thought that he could sit with the princes at all.
It was under all kinds of preconceived guesses that Concubine Li failed to see through Lu Changting's identity, which led to such an oolong.
Concubine Li thought about it now, and her face immediately turned red. She lowered her head and pretended to be food, wishing she could swallow what she just said. She couldn't help resenting those who secretly laughed at her and misled her. Lu Changting.On the contrary, the daughter beside her blinked her eyes, showing a calm posture.
Lu Changting is actually quite embarrassed at the moment.He is not stupid, of course he also sensed what Concubine Li meant.Although it is impossible for him to be so beastly as to be interested in a little girl, Concubine Li still had an attitude of admiration just now. When she heard that he was a Feng Shui master, she immediately lost her face.
Lu Changting, who was stirred up by innocent people, also lost face.
Lu Changting concealed his unhappiness, lowered his head and continued eating food.
Zhu Di put his hand on his knee again and patted him lightly, which made Lu Changting annoyed and funny this time.It was originally an extremely ambiguous gesture, but with the addition of this well-known comforting gesture, the taste became more complicated, and Lu Changting naturally couldn't help being angry and funny.
Lu Changting said in a low voice, "I'm fine." Naturally, the volume was barely enough for the two of them to hear.
"En." Zhu Di responded lightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the other end was also a little annoyed, this concubine Li really can't handle things!She was the one who showed her intentions, and she was the one who turned around and got angry and slapped her face!With her behavior like this, how could Lu Changting get off the stage?It is necessary to ask him and the prince to compensate others.
Concubine Li still didn't know that she was rejected, and the other concubines couldn't help but secretly laughed.
This palace banquet, because of Concubine Li's interference, Lu Changting didn't feel the slightest taste of the New Year, even though they watched the singing and dancing, watched the fireworks, the hall was harmonious and harmonious...
But from Lu Changting's point of view, it was very boring.
The meal was really tasteless.
Fortunately, the palace banquet was not too long, and soon, the concubines and their children retreated first, and then several adult princes accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang out of the hall.
After walking outside the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with concern: "How is your reading in Changting?"
Lu Changting: ...
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was an expression of caring for him, which was equivalent to showing the emperor's kindness.But Lu Changting's mood at this time is the same as when he heard his parents ask you if you finished your homework just after eating.
Lu Changting replied with a complicated expression: "There are still many things I don't understand, so I read it slowly."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "That's easy, let the fourth child find a teacher for you."
The reason why he didn't ask the prince to invite him was because Lu Changting was indeed not qualified enough. The prince could invite more than just a teacher?Those who deal with the prince are all great Confucians!He just wanted to meet ordinary teachers, but he had nowhere to do so.
Zhu Di nodded in response, "Father is right."
"After eating, I'm sure I'll be drowsy, so Chang Ting will follow the fourth child to rest." As an emperor, it's really not easy to care so much.
Lu Changting nodded his thanks, no matter what happened to Concubine Li, at least Emperor Hongwu didn't offend him, and of course Lu Changting didn't have any grievances, and he didn't lack the courtesy that should be done.
Seeing that Lu Changting was still advancing and retreating with discretion, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take a good look at Lu Changting again while he was relieved.A person who can have such a mind will never be a mortal.
The group quickly dispersed.
The four of them, including Zhu Xi, had been allied with Zhongdu at the beginning, and their relationship was naturally better than other brothers, so it was rare for them to get together, so they also went to the hall to rest and gossip together.
If Empress Ma was still around, they certainly wouldn't be so leisurely, at least they would have to pay New Year's greetings to their mother and talk with her.But now that Empress Ma is gone, which harem woman can afford them to pay New Year's greetings?
After entering the palace, Lu Changting rested.Only the Zhu family brothers were left looking at each other.
Zhu Yan whispered: "Isn't Changting angry?"
Zhu Di stood up: "I'll go and have a look."
Zhu Xi followed suit and got up: "I'll go too."
Zhu Bing and Zhu Bing just looked up at them, hesitating whether to say "I'll go too", but Zhu Di turned around and said, "Second brother, don't go, there are too many people, it's even more annoying .”
After all, Zhu Di had already passed by first.
Unconvinced, Zhu Xi turned around and asked his two younger brothers, "Will I be annoying?"
Zhu Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "How could it be? The fourth brother's words are too poignant!"
Zhu Xi kept silent. After all, both Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were his elder brothers. Can he say that one is right and the other is wrong?Of course not.
Lu Changting rested on the couch, because he didn't eat much food at the palace banquet just now, so it's just right to lie down now.It's just that he just fell asleep when he noticed that someone opened the curtain and came in, and a gust of wind blew in. It wasn't too cold, but a bit cool.
Lu Changting opened his eyes, and saw Zhu Di looking down at him.
This... This is a bit embarrassing.
Such a posture gave Lu Changting the illusion of being controlled by others, and even felt that Zhu Di in front of him was too powerful, which made him instinctively feel a sense of crisis.
Lu Changting immediately supported the couch and sat up. After changing the position, Lu Changting felt much more comfortable.
"Fourth brother, is something wrong?"
Zhu Di said: "You don't need to pay attention to what Concubine Li said, but a concubine who is always in a daze always likes to talk nonsense. There are other things, you don't have to take it to heart." The rest, of course, refers to it It was what Zhu Yuanzhang said.
You dare to scold your father's little wife!Lu Changting blinked and said, "I'm fine." Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that at the time, although it was unpleasant, as a father, such considerations are not wrong.My delicately raised daughter, marry someone like you?If he had a daughter, he would not bear it either.Although perhaps the bigger reason is that marrying him has no worthy interests.
But Concubine Li's attitude really made him unhappy.
I eagerly approached it, and found out that it was not of value as I imagined, and I was very disgusted.He, Lu Changting, was in no hurry to beg her!
Lu Changting secretly frowned.
In fact, let alone this time, even in later generations, Feng Shui master is not a respectable profession, except when those people ask him for something, they respect him very much, but how do you think of him in your heart, then you can say no Ready.In ancient times, there was a clear class system, so it is not surprising that Feng Shui masters are regarded as inferior.
At this time, Lu Changting had to think about what else he could transfer to in the future... Although he was relying on his own ability to make a living, there was no other way, it was inevitable that people would be divided into ranks and ranks at any time.And he didn't want to do the next thing...
"I'm really fine, fourth brother don't need to worry about it." Lu Changting said lightly, and he looked very calm indeed, no anger or inferiority could be found on his face.
On the contrary, let him not take it to heart.Zhu Di couldn't help smiling, squatted down in front of Lu Changting, and said, "Changting thought about taking the imperial examination? Or joining the army? If he stayed in the Qin Tianjian, he could do something. After all, he is an official, but..."
"But there is not much future to speak of." Lu Changting said.
In fact, there is nothing better than having real power in your hands, and having real power in your hands is what can really make you tough!
Zhu Di nodded: "Yes."
Power ministers can control the situation, and generals can control people's lives.
Someone like Dao Yan is the most suitable to be a powerful minister.But he... he is not suitable to be a military commander either!Lu Changting frowned, and said, "Fourth brother, let me think about it."
In Beiping, he is a powerful Feng Shui master and a member of King Yan's Mansion. With the name of King Yan and the aura of great ability, he is naturally respected.But what about being respected in a small place?When it comes to Yingtian, I'm afraid that everyone will look down on him...
Lu Changting pushed all these thoughts out of his mind.
"Fourth brother, I want to sleep for a while." Lu Changting raised his head and said.
"Okay." Zhu Di stood up, took a thin quilt and put it on Lu Changting's body, and then walked out.
Lu Changting always felt that Zhu Di might have noticed a little change in his attitude, Lu Changting frowned, pulled the quilt and fell asleep.
The hall was warm and harmonious, and I slept until night after sleeping, just in time for dinner.
Lu Changting sat up from the couch and looked outside, the lights were bright.
"Are you awake?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Lu Changting turned his head to see that Zhu Di had come in at some point, and was looking at him right now.Perhaps it was because of the candlelight that reflected Zhu Di's face in an extraordinarily gentle and ambiguous way.
Lu Changting threw away the thin quilt, but he couldn't help shivering when he got up.
Zhu Di quickly put the cloak on him.
Lu Changting was used to Zhu Di's caring behavior, so he accepted it very naturally. After receiving it, Lu Changting remembered the embarrassment.Lu Changting couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in his heart, why did he feel that Zhu Di's current routine was the legendary boiled frog in warm water?
Fortunately, his frog suddenly discovered it before it was cooked.
Lu Changting pushed Zhu Di's hand away without any trace, "Is it time for dinner?"
"Well, let's have New Year's Eve dinner together." When Zhu Di said these words, there was a warm New Year's flavor immediately.
It's just that when Lu Changting thought about it, there would be other people later, and he felt bad.
He followed Zhu Di out, and there was no one in the outer hall, only the palace guards outside the hall.
The New Year's Eve dinner in the palace was actually not as full of people as imagined.Compared with the exquisite dishes at noon, the New Year's Eve dinner at night is much simpler, but it is also much more simple, which is suitable for filling the stomach in the cold winter.
It was quite in line with Emperor Hongwu's temperament.
Neither he nor Empress Ma are extravagant, and they often teach their children not to be extravagant. The palaces in the palace are rarely rebuilt.It is different during the day, it is the face that symbolizes the royal family, of course the palace banquet cannot be made simple.But in the evening, in order to teach his son, Emperor Hongwu would naturally develop the New Year's Eve dinner in a simple direction.
The palace people led them into a room. Although this room is not small, it is really not big in the palace.
And the food is here.
And it's on a big table, which has the taste of folk people celebrating the New Year.
Zhu Xi and the others had already sat down around the table.
Zhu Di led Lu Changting and sat down.Lu Changting raised his eyebrows slightly. Although the table is big, can it accommodate so many people?It's not like there are only a few people at the New Year's Eve dinner, right?Emperor Hongwu should have other favorite sons, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw two young men walking in. They were both dressed in princely clothes, and they still looked dusty.I didn't see the two of them during the day.It can be seen that he just rushed to the capital.
Two young men came forward, glanced at Lu Changting in surprise, and then said, "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother."
Zhu Xi nodded: "Come on, sit down."
The two didn't talk much, and immediately stepped forward and sat down at the table.The young man who seemed to have a stronger aura of noble son asked first: "Is the father still in the future?"
It was Zhu Xi who answered: "Well, at this time, father and elder brother are still dealing with business."
The young man responded in a low voice without asking further questions.
It's just that Lu Changting noticed that another young man who was more arrogant had a trace of disdain on his face.
This seems to be a master who can't hide his emotions!
Lu Changting secretly imprinted the appearance and performance of the two of them in his mind.
Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived with the prince, and also the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi, but the princess did not come.If Empress Ma is here, I am afraid that the Crown Princess can also come.It's just that now that Empress Ma is gone, the Crown Princess, as a woman, naturally cannot come again.
In his heart, Lu Changting felt that this was quite unkind. The New Year's Eve dinner was only eaten for family reunions. This Emperor Hongwu satisfied his own desire for reunion, but left the prince and concubine aside.
The family is not reunited yet!
But slander belongs to slander, Lu Changting's face is not revealing.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to let Lu Changting come to this dinner. He could celebrate the New Year in the palace, which no one else could enjoy in his life. Only then did Zhu Di acquiesce in bringing him here.
Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Yunwen and walked over.
At the same time, someone from the palace set up a small table, and Lu Changting suddenly realized that this was where Emperor Hong Wu sat.
After seeing Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunqi, and Zhu Yuanzhang sitting together, Lu Changting couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, among the princes, they were all assigned lower ranks and received special treatment.
Lu Changting withdrew his gaze, not surprised, and caught a glimpse of displeasure on the haughty young man's face.
Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed these two people very quickly, but he also showed a loving father's attitude and said a few words to these two people.
It was only then that Lu Changting knew that among the two, the one who looked more noble and noble was Zhu Zhen, King of Chu, who was said to have been extremely favored by Emperor Hongwu since he was born, and the other arrogant young man was Zhu Wei, King of Qi. If he remembered correctly, the end didn't seem to be very good.
But looking at the style of these two people, you can get a glimpse of it.
After everyone was seated, the food was served.
Because the prince was by his side, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely communicated with other sons.
So, parents cannot have many children, because once there are many children, there will inevitably be partiality, and once there are partiality, problems will arise.Why are you being nice to him and not to me? Isn't it all in your blood... Maybe it was just sad when you were young, but not sad when you are older, but it may lead to even greater conflicts.
Lu Changting took all of their performance into his eyes, then silently bowed his head and ate his own food.
This meal really seemed warm, but in fact... I'm afraid it will make some people feel cold in their hearts.
Lu Changting ate while thinking, and as he ate, there was more food in the bowl. Lu Changting turned his head and saw that Zhu Xi and Zhu Di threw it at the same time, and they both expected Di to look at him.
Lu Changting suddenly felt that these two people were really funny.
Hmm... This New Year's Eve dinner was still warm for him.
After all, there were Zhu Di and Zhu Xi sitting in front of him.
Being able to celebrate the New Year in one place is already the best thing.
The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_
It's not enough to just look at the yin house and the yang house, you have to use Feng Shui in a bigger place...
Good night everyone~
After Zhu Di answered on his behalf, Zhu Yan didn't ask any more questions.
At this time Zhu Xun came back, stepped into the door and saw Zhu Xun and Zhu Xun, and was taken aback for a moment, then walked forward with a smile.Zhu Yan was much more talkative than Zhu Di, so he started gossiping with Zhu Fan immediately, and the feeling of unfamiliarity was reduced a lot for a while, and after a while, when Zhu Fan faced Lu Changting, he could smile naturally.
Seeing that it was noon, the prince Zhu Biao also came in. After seeing Lu Changting, he specially smiled at Lu Changting, which immediately attracted Zhu Yan and Zhu Wei to look at him several times.
"Let's go, it's time." Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Lu Changting was slightly taken aback, this is wrong, the New Year's Eve dinner should be waited until evening...
Zhu Di reached out and grabbed Lu Changting's wrist, and pulled him up from his seat: "It should be that the arrangement has changed, and all the concubines, princes and princesses will be present at noon."
And it's gone at night?
It seems that there is a distinction between closeness and intimacy when setting up a banquet in the palace, and the one who can sit and eat with Emperor Hongwu after nightfall should be the one he loves the most.
After thinking about it, Lu Changting was led out of the hall by Zhu Di.
I didn't feel it when I was sitting just now, and the light in the hall is not as bright and warm as the outside after all. After walking out, everyone found Lu Changting's appearance, looking like that cold and arrogant young man who is not in the world, he is really very good-looking, called People can't think of words of appreciation for a while.
Zhu Yan still stared at Lu Changting and smiled, making Lu Changting feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at Zhu Bian, then quietly guarded Lu Changting's side, blocking Zhu Bian's gaze without any trace.
Logically speaking, he should be happy that Zhu Di protected him like this, but now Lu Changting just felt his heart sank even more.
The more Zhu Di protects him like this, doesn't it mean that treating him is unusual?
This is really hard to make even a little bit of luck.
Lu Changting kept his head down all the way, without showing any emotion.
Seeing his appearance, Zhu Yan couldn't help but smiled and said in a low voice: "Could it be that you were shy just now?"
Zhu Bing frowned, and slapped Zhu Bing's leg: "What are you talking about?"
This slap awakened Zhu Bian's deeper memory about Zhongdu.At that time, Lu Changting was born to look much smaller...but he was really likable.At that time, Zhu Xing often protected Lu Changting... But... Zhu Xing looked at Zhu Di in front of him.
But how did he become the fourth brother and get closer to him now?
Zhu Yan couldn't think of a reason, because in a blink of an eye, they had already walked into the side hall.Only from the side hall can they enter the main hall.
There were quite a few palace guards in the side hall, and when they came in, they would take off their cloaks for everyone, to clear the cold, and burn their hands...just now a eunuch came to guide them into the main hall.
There are no officials in the hall, many seats are still vacant, and the concubines, princes and daughters have not yet arrived.After all, they were called by the crown prince himself, so they are naturally different.
Lu Changting was thinking that he didn't know how far back he should sit, but then he heard Zhu Di's order to the palace man beside him: "Put Mr. Lu's table case beside me."
The palace servants were stunned for a moment, a little afraid to respond.
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Just do what King Yan said."
Only then did the palace man dare to move his position.
But at this time Lu Changting was not happy at all, he just felt very uncomfortable, especially when he had just discovered Zhu Di's secret... But he couldn't say or show these things, so Lu Changting could only pretend Tsukuru sat down without hesitation.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang also walked into the hall.
Looking at the sons sitting down, all of them looked excellent, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing a gratified smile, but his eyes stopped on Lu Changting for a while, and then he said with a smile: "Why is Changting sitting with the fourth son?" Already in one place?"
Zhu Di smiled: "I'm used to it."
After hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang had personally questioned Lu Changting, Zhu Wei and Zhu Wei couldn't help but looked at Lu Changting even more surprised.
Look at Feng Shui...
What kind of feng shui did he have to see to see the emperor coming!
It would not be so unusual if he was in front of the emperor, but the tone of his father's treatment of him is surprisingly gentle, obviously with the attitude of an elder, how can this not shock people?How many people in this world can do this?When Chang Ting said he was looking at Feng Shui, his tone was too calm!
In the minds of Zhu Bing and Zhu Bing, flashed through at the same time, Lu Changting looked calm and composed when they were in the central capital, such an association... It seems not surprising.
After all, Lu Changting has been so calm and calm since he was a child.
Zhu Wei and Zhu Wei are all the favored sons of heaven, and they don't think that Lu Changting's performance is too heaven-defying.
Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang, after hearing Zhu Di's answer, was still a little surprised: "Are you used to it? Was it like this in Beijing before?"
Zhu Di nodded, and said generously: "Father, when I met him, Changting was only in his early ten years old, and his family was suffering from misfortune. After I brought him back to the palace, he regarded me as an elder brother. The day follows closely, like a bird frightened by the bow. My son is soft-hearted, and every day he asks his servants to put the table beside him when he eats, and he will get used to it after a long time."
In fact, no one who looked at Zhu Di's face would think that he was a soft-hearted person.
Lu Changting felt that he would really open his eyes and tell nonsense.
Several other princes also expressed in their hearts that these words are really stupid!Obviously it's you who never leave each other... They recalled Lu Changting's indifferent appearance back then, and they really couldn't imagine what he looked like when he never left each other...
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard the words: "So that's the case, this is also considered a predestined relationship! It was because the fourth brother was soft-hearted and brought him back to the palace, that's why Changting showed his ability to save the prince today."
It was only then that Zhu Yan and the two suddenly realized.
So it was because he saved the crown prince...
They all knew how much their father loved and valued the prince Zhu Biao, if it was for the prince, it would be normal!
Zhu Di said so generously that he treats him like a brother, and any intimate actions next will not attract attention.
It took Lu Changting a while to figure out the reason behind it.
At this moment, Lu Changting couldn't help but feel that Zhu Di is really...forget it...the word seems wrong...forget it, let's leave it at that.Can a person who can become an emperor in the future be stupid?Of course it is more flexible than others!To say that he is scheming... Maybe it is not an exaggeration!
Zhu Yuanzhang also failed to say a few words to them, because soon, concubines, princes and daughters came to the hall one after another.
When the concubines entered the palace, their attention was originally on Zhu Yuanzhang, but after they sat down with their children, they noticed a completely unfamiliar face on the side of the princes.To them, Lu Changting is of course unfamiliar. After all, although Lu Changting walks around the palace, it is impossible to see the concubine.
Who is this man?The concubines were amazed.
To be able to dress up like this, with the best appearance and temperament, and to be able to sit among the princes.
The concubine in the palace naturally recognizes the adult prince and prince, no matter how you look at it, this shouldn't be a member of the royal family.I don't know which noble son it is...
This is the first question that many concubines think of.
But after they gradually calmed down, it was actually easy to discover Lu Changting's identity.After all, during this period of time, there were many rumors about the Feng Shui master. They all said that he was capable, handsome and handsome, and he was still young.Well done, it's impossible for such a person to appear suddenly in the palace, the only possibility is this Feng Shui master.
The smart concubine has already retracted her gaze.
Soon, after Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the palace banquet began.
On top of such a banquet, what else can one eat?Even if it is at a royal banquet, it is the same as going to a banquet with other people, there is nothing to eat, and the focus is not on eating.
This is rare for so many people in the royal family to gather in one place. In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang’s concubines and princes and princesses were not seen. Only at this time can we see each other. Naturally, we should seize the opportunity to make a good impression in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Kind of pet.
The maids filed in from outside the hall, and placed exquisite dishes on everyone's tables.
Some concubines were no longer focused on it, and they began to try their best to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.Although Zhu Yuanzhang has many concubines, he is really not a womanizer, and the only one who can command his respect is Empress Ma.It doesn't matter what others say, but it will work if Queen Ma says a word.After Empress Ma died of illness, although the concubines did not show it on the surface, they must have their own plans in their hearts. They all felt that this was an opportunity. Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was even more reluctant to step into the harem often.
This rare opportunity, with their children around to increase their favorability, they will naturally not give up.
However, in such an atmosphere, Lu Changting always felt that from the concubine's side, there was a gaze that was always looking at him. That person didn't seem to know how to hide his gaze, so he was spotted by the keen Lu Changting all of a sudden. .
Lu Changting frowned secretly in his heart, he couldn't figure out why the concubine would pay so much attention to him.
He followed this gaze vaguely, and then locked on to a woman.That woman is very young, petite and lovely, judging by her attire, her status should be lower than others.However, although this woman looks young, there is a little girl next to her. That little girl is at most thirteen or fourteen years old. Maybe it is because she inherited it from her mother, so she looks extraordinarily petite and soft. Dressed up in such rich clothes, it is really cute.
But even if he took a look at them, Lu Changting really couldn't figure out why the woman kept staring at him.These two people are complete strangers to him, and he should also be a stranger to them.
While Lu Changting was thinking, suddenly, he felt a warmth on his knee, and it was Zhu Di's palm that came up...
Is Zhu Di teasing him? !
Lu Changting suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, and why the concubine looked at him was forgotten by him.
It would be fine if he didn't know what Zhu Di was thinking, but he had already guessed it, so naturally he felt extremely weird at this time... His heart beat faster unconsciously, as if a fire was burning in his chest.
Lu Changting couldn't help but move his legs.
Zhu Di naturally noticed his reaction, and smiled softly.
This kind of laughter, which seemed to be confident and not worried at all, made Lu Changting extremely unhappy.So with a cold face, he directly pushed Zhu Di's hand away from under the table.
The smile on Zhu Di's face became even wider.
Lu Changting frowned again, fearing that no one could guess what Zhu Di was thinking, at least he couldn't at this time.
"Move your chopsticks." Zhu Yuanzhang said out loud.
Lu Changting stopped looking at Zhu Di, but picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
Zhu Di sighed vaguely, probably because he knew that he couldn't take advantage of Lu Changting.
But when his eyes touched Lu Changting's reddish pinnae, Zhu Di suddenly felt more at ease.
Then the wine was served, and the aroma of the wine began to waft in the hall, spreading a warm breath, even if you haven't drunk the wine yet, you feel warm all over your body.
The discomfort in Lu Changting's heart was slightly relieved.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "What is Concubine Li looking at? I think you have been watching for a long time." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was slightly unhappy.His own concubine paid too much attention to others, so she was naturally unhappy.
Lu Changting glanced in Zhu Yuanzhang's direction, Concubine Li, she was talking about the woman who had been eyeing him just now.
In the setting of empresses and concubines in the early Ming Dynasty, there were not so many regulations on the number of ranks. Except for the empress, they were all concubines and palace concubines.Among them, there are very few famous concubines.There seem to be only nine in the early Ming.This Concubine Li is of course an unknown one.Lu Changting guessed that she was inferior to others, but he was right.
At this time, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all eyes were on Concubine Li. Concubine Li panicked for a moment, probably because there had never been so many people staring at her at the same time.But after all, she has stayed in the palace for a long time, so Concubine Li's adaptability is not weak.
Concubine Li smiled, pointed in the direction of Lu Changting openly and said, "I'm just curious, which family's son is this? You really look good." Concubine Li obviously put on the tone of an elder looking at a junior, naturally It doesn't matter.
Just when can this kind of words be said?Someone glanced vaguely at the little girl next to Concubine Li, and couldn't help but sneer from the bottom of his heart.This is seeing that he can get together with the prince, so he thought that he could find a good home for his daughter!But he didn't think carefully about the identity of this person... A feng shui person is just a low-grade thing among the people. If he hadn't saved the prince and won the emperor's attention, how could he be in the hall?Concubine Li is also a fool!
However, these people sneered from the bottom of their hearts, but none of them wanted to remind Concubine Li.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion was a bit complicated. He knew what Concubine Li meant, but... Although Zhu Yuanzhang could look up to Lu Changting, after all, with Lu Changting's current status, even if Concubine Li fell in love with him, he would not Maybe marry the princess to Lu Changting.If you marry Lu Changting, why not marry the descendants of heroes?
Zhu Yuanzhang acted as if he couldn't understand the meaning of Concubine Li's words, and said calmly: "It was he who saved the life of the prince." No more words.
Concubine Li froze on the spot, she never expected to get such an answer.How, how is it possible?Although there are many rumors in the palace that the one who solved Duanben Palace's feng shui dilemma was a handsome young man, who would believe it?A young man can do such a thing, so what is there left for the Qin Tianjian?And even if the feng shui master was valued, Concubine Li never thought that he could sit with the princes at all.
It was under all kinds of preconceived guesses that Concubine Li failed to see through Lu Changting's identity, which led to such an oolong.
Concubine Li thought about it now, and her face immediately turned red. She lowered her head and pretended to be food, wishing she could swallow what she just said. She couldn't help resenting those who secretly laughed at her and misled her. Lu Changting.On the contrary, the daughter beside her blinked her eyes, showing a calm posture.
Lu Changting is actually quite embarrassed at the moment.He is not stupid, of course he also sensed what Concubine Li meant.Although it is impossible for him to be so beastly as to be interested in a little girl, Concubine Li still had an attitude of admiration just now. When she heard that he was a Feng Shui master, she immediately lost her face.
Lu Changting, who was stirred up by innocent people, also lost face.
Lu Changting concealed his unhappiness, lowered his head and continued eating food.
Zhu Di put his hand on his knee again and patted him lightly, which made Lu Changting annoyed and funny this time.It was originally an extremely ambiguous gesture, but with the addition of this well-known comforting gesture, the taste became more complicated, and Lu Changting naturally couldn't help being angry and funny.
Lu Changting said in a low voice, "I'm fine." Naturally, the volume was barely enough for the two of them to hear.
"En." Zhu Di responded lightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang on the other end was also a little annoyed, this concubine Li really can't handle things!She was the one who showed her intentions, and she was the one who turned around and got angry and slapped her face!With her behavior like this, how could Lu Changting get off the stage?It is necessary to ask him and the prince to compensate others.
Concubine Li still didn't know that she was rejected, and the other concubines couldn't help but secretly laughed.
This palace banquet, because of Concubine Li's interference, Lu Changting didn't feel the slightest taste of the New Year, even though they watched the singing and dancing, watched the fireworks, the hall was harmonious and harmonious...
But from Lu Changting's point of view, it was very boring.
The meal was really tasteless.
Fortunately, the palace banquet was not too long, and soon, the concubines and their children retreated first, and then several adult princes accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang out of the hall.
After walking outside the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with concern: "How is your reading in Changting?"
Lu Changting: ...
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was an expression of caring for him, which was equivalent to showing the emperor's kindness.But Lu Changting's mood at this time is the same as when he heard his parents ask you if you finished your homework just after eating.
Lu Changting replied with a complicated expression: "There are still many things I don't understand, so I read it slowly."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "That's easy, let the fourth child find a teacher for you."
The reason why he didn't ask the prince to invite him was because Lu Changting was indeed not qualified enough. The prince could invite more than just a teacher?Those who deal with the prince are all great Confucians!He just wanted to meet ordinary teachers, but he had nowhere to do so.
Zhu Di nodded in response, "Father is right."
"After eating, I'm sure I'll be drowsy, so Chang Ting will follow the fourth child to rest." As an emperor, it's really not easy to care so much.
Lu Changting nodded his thanks, no matter what happened to Concubine Li, at least Emperor Hongwu didn't offend him, and of course Lu Changting didn't have any grievances, and he didn't lack the courtesy that should be done.
Seeing that Lu Changting was still advancing and retreating with discretion, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take a good look at Lu Changting again while he was relieved.A person who can have such a mind will never be a mortal.
The group quickly dispersed.
The four of them, including Zhu Xi, had been allied with Zhongdu at the beginning, and their relationship was naturally better than other brothers, so it was rare for them to get together, so they also went to the hall to rest and gossip together.
If Empress Ma was still around, they certainly wouldn't be so leisurely, at least they would have to pay New Year's greetings to their mother and talk with her.But now that Empress Ma is gone, which harem woman can afford them to pay New Year's greetings?
After entering the palace, Lu Changting rested.Only the Zhu family brothers were left looking at each other.
Zhu Yan whispered: "Isn't Changting angry?"
Zhu Di stood up: "I'll go and have a look."
Zhu Xi followed suit and got up: "I'll go too."
Zhu Bing and Zhu Bing just looked up at them, hesitating whether to say "I'll go too", but Zhu Di turned around and said, "Second brother, don't go, there are too many people, it's even more annoying .”
After all, Zhu Di had already passed by first.
Unconvinced, Zhu Xi turned around and asked his two younger brothers, "Will I be annoying?"
Zhu Yan hurriedly smiled and said: "How could it be? The fourth brother's words are too poignant!"
Zhu Xi kept silent. After all, both Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were his elder brothers. Can he say that one is right and the other is wrong?Of course not.
Lu Changting rested on the couch, because he didn't eat much food at the palace banquet just now, so it's just right to lie down now.It's just that he just fell asleep when he noticed that someone opened the curtain and came in, and a gust of wind blew in. It wasn't too cold, but a bit cool.
Lu Changting opened his eyes, and saw Zhu Di looking down at him.
This... This is a bit embarrassing.
Such a posture gave Lu Changting the illusion of being controlled by others, and even felt that Zhu Di in front of him was too powerful, which made him instinctively feel a sense of crisis.
Lu Changting immediately supported the couch and sat up. After changing the position, Lu Changting felt much more comfortable.
"Fourth brother, is something wrong?"
Zhu Di said: "You don't need to pay attention to what Concubine Li said, but a concubine who is always in a daze always likes to talk nonsense. There are other things, you don't have to take it to heart." The rest, of course, refers to it It was what Zhu Yuanzhang said.
You dare to scold your father's little wife!Lu Changting blinked and said, "I'm fine." Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that at the time, although it was unpleasant, as a father, such considerations are not wrong.My delicately raised daughter, marry someone like you?If he had a daughter, he would not bear it either.Although perhaps the bigger reason is that marrying him has no worthy interests.
But Concubine Li's attitude really made him unhappy.
I eagerly approached it, and found out that it was not of value as I imagined, and I was very disgusted.He, Lu Changting, was in no hurry to beg her!
Lu Changting secretly frowned.
In fact, let alone this time, even in later generations, Feng Shui master is not a respectable profession, except when those people ask him for something, they respect him very much, but how do you think of him in your heart, then you can say no Ready.In ancient times, there was a clear class system, so it is not surprising that Feng Shui masters are regarded as inferior.
At this time, Lu Changting had to think about what else he could transfer to in the future... Although he was relying on his own ability to make a living, there was no other way, it was inevitable that people would be divided into ranks and ranks at any time.And he didn't want to do the next thing...
"I'm really fine, fourth brother don't need to worry about it." Lu Changting said lightly, and he looked very calm indeed, no anger or inferiority could be found on his face.
On the contrary, let him not take it to heart.Zhu Di couldn't help smiling, squatted down in front of Lu Changting, and said, "Changting thought about taking the imperial examination? Or joining the army? If he stayed in the Qin Tianjian, he could do something. After all, he is an official, but..."
"But there is not much future to speak of." Lu Changting said.
In fact, there is nothing better than having real power in your hands, and having real power in your hands is what can really make you tough!
Zhu Di nodded: "Yes."
Power ministers can control the situation, and generals can control people's lives.
Someone like Dao Yan is the most suitable to be a powerful minister.But he... he is not suitable to be a military commander either!Lu Changting frowned, and said, "Fourth brother, let me think about it."
In Beiping, he is a powerful Feng Shui master and a member of King Yan's Mansion. With the name of King Yan and the aura of great ability, he is naturally respected.But what about being respected in a small place?When it comes to Yingtian, I'm afraid that everyone will look down on him...
Lu Changting pushed all these thoughts out of his mind.
"Fourth brother, I want to sleep for a while." Lu Changting raised his head and said.
"Okay." Zhu Di stood up, took a thin quilt and put it on Lu Changting's body, and then walked out.
Lu Changting always felt that Zhu Di might have noticed a little change in his attitude, Lu Changting frowned, pulled the quilt and fell asleep.
The hall was warm and harmonious, and I slept until night after sleeping, just in time for dinner.
Lu Changting sat up from the couch and looked outside, the lights were bright.
"Are you awake?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Lu Changting turned his head to see that Zhu Di had come in at some point, and was looking at him right now.Perhaps it was because of the candlelight that reflected Zhu Di's face in an extraordinarily gentle and ambiguous way.
Lu Changting threw away the thin quilt, but he couldn't help shivering when he got up.
Zhu Di quickly put the cloak on him.
Lu Changting was used to Zhu Di's caring behavior, so he accepted it very naturally. After receiving it, Lu Changting remembered the embarrassment.Lu Changting couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in his heart, why did he feel that Zhu Di's current routine was the legendary boiled frog in warm water?
Fortunately, his frog suddenly discovered it before it was cooked.
Lu Changting pushed Zhu Di's hand away without any trace, "Is it time for dinner?"
"Well, let's have New Year's Eve dinner together." When Zhu Di said these words, there was a warm New Year's flavor immediately.
It's just that when Lu Changting thought about it, there would be other people later, and he felt bad.
He followed Zhu Di out, and there was no one in the outer hall, only the palace guards outside the hall.
The New Year's Eve dinner in the palace was actually not as full of people as imagined.Compared with the exquisite dishes at noon, the New Year's Eve dinner at night is much simpler, but it is also much more simple, which is suitable for filling the stomach in the cold winter.
It was quite in line with Emperor Hongwu's temperament.
Neither he nor Empress Ma are extravagant, and they often teach their children not to be extravagant. The palaces in the palace are rarely rebuilt.It is different during the day, it is the face that symbolizes the royal family, of course the palace banquet cannot be made simple.But in the evening, in order to teach his son, Emperor Hongwu would naturally develop the New Year's Eve dinner in a simple direction.
The palace people led them into a room. Although this room is not small, it is really not big in the palace.
And the food is here.
And it's on a big table, which has the taste of folk people celebrating the New Year.
Zhu Xi and the others had already sat down around the table.
Zhu Di led Lu Changting and sat down.Lu Changting raised his eyebrows slightly. Although the table is big, can it accommodate so many people?It's not like there are only a few people at the New Year's Eve dinner, right?Emperor Hongwu should have other favorite sons, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw two young men walking in. They were both dressed in princely clothes, and they still looked dusty.I didn't see the two of them during the day.It can be seen that he just rushed to the capital.
Two young men came forward, glanced at Lu Changting in surprise, and then said, "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother."
Zhu Xi nodded: "Come on, sit down."
The two didn't talk much, and immediately stepped forward and sat down at the table.The young man who seemed to have a stronger aura of noble son asked first: "Is the father still in the future?"
It was Zhu Xi who answered: "Well, at this time, father and elder brother are still dealing with business."
The young man responded in a low voice without asking further questions.
It's just that Lu Changting noticed that another young man who was more arrogant had a trace of disdain on his face.
This seems to be a master who can't hide his emotions!
Lu Changting secretly imprinted the appearance and performance of the two of them in his mind.
Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang arrived with the prince, and also the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi, but the princess did not come.If Empress Ma is here, I am afraid that the Crown Princess can also come.It's just that now that Empress Ma is gone, the Crown Princess, as a woman, naturally cannot come again.
In his heart, Lu Changting felt that this was quite unkind. The New Year's Eve dinner was only eaten for family reunions. This Emperor Hongwu satisfied his own desire for reunion, but left the prince and concubine aside.
The family is not reunited yet!
But slander belongs to slander, Lu Changting's face is not revealing.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to let Lu Changting come to this dinner. He could celebrate the New Year in the palace, which no one else could enjoy in his life. Only then did Zhu Di acquiesce in bringing him here.
Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Yunwen and walked over.
At the same time, someone from the palace set up a small table, and Lu Changting suddenly realized that this was where Emperor Hong Wu sat.
After seeing Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunqi, and Zhu Yuanzhang sitting together, Lu Changting couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, among the princes, they were all assigned lower ranks and received special treatment.
Lu Changting withdrew his gaze, not surprised, and caught a glimpse of displeasure on the haughty young man's face.
Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed these two people very quickly, but he also showed a loving father's attitude and said a few words to these two people.
It was only then that Lu Changting knew that among the two, the one who looked more noble and noble was Zhu Zhen, King of Chu, who was said to have been extremely favored by Emperor Hongwu since he was born, and the other arrogant young man was Zhu Wei, King of Qi. If he remembered correctly, the end didn't seem to be very good.
But looking at the style of these two people, you can get a glimpse of it.
After everyone was seated, the food was served.
Because the prince was by his side, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely communicated with other sons.
So, parents cannot have many children, because once there are many children, there will inevitably be partiality, and once there are partiality, problems will arise.Why are you being nice to him and not to me? Isn't it all in your blood... Maybe it was just sad when you were young, but not sad when you are older, but it may lead to even greater conflicts.
Lu Changting took all of their performance into his eyes, then silently bowed his head and ate his own food.
This meal really seemed warm, but in fact... I'm afraid it will make some people feel cold in their hearts.
Lu Changting ate while thinking, and as he ate, there was more food in the bowl. Lu Changting turned his head and saw that Zhu Xi and Zhu Di threw it at the same time, and they both expected Di to look at him.
Lu Changting suddenly felt that these two people were really funny.
Hmm... This New Year's Eve dinner was still warm for him.
After all, there were Zhu Di and Zhu Xi sitting in front of him.
Being able to celebrate the New Year in one place is already the best thing.
The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_
It's not enough to just look at the yin house and the yang house, you have to use Feng Shui in a bigger place...
Good night everyone~
