Chapter 4: Congratulations from all sides (1)

For many years, the capital has never been as lively as it is today, and the people of the capital and even the entire Ming Dynasty have not been as happy as they are today. All of this is because of the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne.

There is a reason why the people are happy from the heart. First, although the new emperor ascended the throne, although he had experienced nearly two years of divisions and wars in the north and south, it was quickly pacified and the country was quickly unified, which gave the people a relatively peaceful and relaxed time and space to lick the wounds of war. Second, the new emperor ascended the throne not only exempted the taxes of the people who suffered from war and were severely affected, but also vigorously promoted new policies that were beneficial to the people. Third, he purified the administration, eliminated the chaos and chaos, threw a group of monsters and monsters into prison, and gave the people a bright world, which gave the people confidence in the court. Fourth, the court continued to use legislative means to increase the supervision of the most imperial officials, especially the punishment of illegal officials, and to protect the interests of ordinary people to the greatest extent.

The combination of many reasons has allowed the people to regain confidence in the court, and their cohesion and centripetal force have been greatly enhanced. Therefore, after the domestic conscience, the emperor's first birthday festival seemed to be a day for the whole world to celebrate together.

December 24th, that is, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. This day is not only the birthday of Zhu Youjian, the original owner of his body, but also Zhu Yinglong's own birthday. Maybe if the two were not born on the same day, maybe he should still live happily in his previous life, marry and have children, and spend the rest of his life casually.

"Why……"

"Your Majesty, why are you sighing?" Yanhong, who had combed Zhu Yinglong's hair, suddenly asked.

"I feel that it's like I'm always ten years older. You said, how can I not sigh?" Zhu Yinglong said in a little depressed mood when he thought of his first half of his life.

"Does the emperor say this to you dislike me as old as I am and don't like me to serve you?" Yanhong was too sensitive, and she paused her hands, and her eyes suddenly said red.

Zhu Yinglong reached out and gently pinched Yanhong's increasingly plump fat buttocks, and said funny: "You silly girl, you are thinking about something random. Even if you lose all your teeth in your mouth and have no strength in the future, I still want you to serve you."

With a "puff", Yanhong burst into tears and laughed, happily combed Zhu Yinglong's hair.

He put on the purple robe sewn by Zhang Yan, and then Yanhong tied a golden purple jade belt to him from behind. He looked much more handsome and handsome, and the bright red eyes looked strange.

"Your Majesty, you look so good in this dress!" Yanhong praised.

"Good look?" Zhu Yinglong turned around and looked at Yanhong, who was smiling like a flower behind him in surprise.

"Yes, purple represents nobility and elegance. The emperor's purple robe not only highlights the emperor's noble temperament, but also fully demonstrates the emperor's elegance. Sister Yan is not only skillful, but also has a strong vision!" Yanhong said in a row.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my little Yanhong knew so much, I didn't know." Zhu Yinglong felt better and said with a smile.

"Emperor, the banquet is about to begin. The queen and the empress are waiting for you to come!"

"Okay, I'll come now!"

After dressing neatly, Zhu Yinglong took Yanhong's hand and first came to Kunning Palace, and then took the dressed queen and a group of concubines to the Tai Chi Palace.

Tonight, the emperor will lively and hold a banquet in Tai Chi Hall to invite ministers and envoys from various countries.

As the eunuch Sili said, "Emperor, the Empress is here!" The atmosphere was already lively and the Tai Chi Hall was silent, and everyone turned their eyes to the entrance of the main entrance of the Tai Chi Hall.

I saw the Empress Zhou Yingning, wearing a nine-dragon golden crown, a golden purple robe, and a golden black dragon boot, a red shadow dragon, and a phoenix crown and a robe. She walked into the Tai Chi Hall with great strides.

The concubines behind him also entered. All the concubines behind Zhu Yinglong were so beautiful that they were charming. It was rare for all officials to see any of them. Now they all saw them all at once, and they looked straight at the male officials' eyes, and their eyes were still motionless.

Those foreign envoys were even more serious. They never thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could have so many beauties, and each of them was a natural beauty. Such a bliss made them drool in their envy.

Zhu Yinglong is the protagonist tonight, so of course he was not allowed to sit in the main seat, with the queen accompanying him, and other concubines sitting on both sides.

"I am congratulating the emperor on his life forever and his life together with heaven!"

First, the court officials congratulated each other, then foreign envoys offered birthday gifts, then royal relatives, and then a group of concubines offered birthday gifts.

Looking at the birthday gifts piled up like hills, Zhu Yinglong was very happy, with unique ingenuity, fighting for beauty, and was extremely beautiful.

Delicious wine and food are served like flowing water, the king and his ministers are drinking happily, the gossip and anecdotes and miscellaneous news in the market are all in one go.

A series of performances such as singing, singing, dancing, and Western musical instruments made civil and military officials, foreign envoys and concubines in the harem feast their eyes and ears.

However, many of the people who came to attend the birthday party today felt that it was not so comfortable and happy, and Sony was one of them.

He was originally unwilling to attend this birthday party because of the ugly painting, but it represented the Later Jin Dynasty, so he had to come, especially when he saw the proud look of the fire painting, he felt the anger in his heart turbulently.

But the Ming Dynasty seemed to deliberately arrange him to sit closest to the map, which made Sony feel uncomfortable, especially the many people around him, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at them.

The picture is also a wonderful person. Sony has ulterior motives and has ulterior motives. Since they meet each other at the banquet, they naturally have to say a few arrogant words.

It is also a disadvantage that Sony is gradually becoming more and more mature and his skin is getting thicker. It is naturally no problem to have a little sarcasm.

In terms of eloquence, the map is not a match for Sony at all, especially Sony has a vast relationship in the capital. Many officials from the Ming Dynasty have a certain preference for Sony. If it weren't for the map being the emperor's brother-in-law, no one would want to pay attention to this rude and lustful Mongolian envoy.

Beauty is always one of the topics of men.

The grudge between Sony and the Liquor Picture is also because of a beautiful woman, the top girl named Xiaohong from Wanhualou.

After a happy and romantic night, Xiaotu fell in love with Xiaohong, the best brand who is good for Sony. After hearing the rules that the woman in the brothel could redeem her, Xiaotu immediately took Wanhualou to Wanhualou to redeem her body for Xiaohong.

Although the Lietu looked rude, he was a careful person. Xiaohong refused to follow him at first, but after the continuous persuasion of Lietu, he finally followed the Lietu back to the Mongolian grassland. Sony received the news and was ready to go. Although it was nothing to lose a good-looking prostitute, Sony's face was violently incited by Lietu.

The girl who had been together for more than a year was thrown into the arms of other men in a blink of an eye. The rumors made him look disgraceful, which made him even more hate the material.

Looking at the unscrupulous smile of the picture, Sony felt uncomfortable as if he was swallowing a dead fly. When the sweet wine came to his mouth, it became a bitter wine that was difficult to swallow.

Dutch envoy Williams and the Spanish minister who came to Beijing also showed a clear distinction at the banquet, without interfering with each other, and both showed high postures, which was annoying to look at.

The difference is that the Japanese Emperor and the envoy sent by the shogunate Masao Oshima was extremely humble, and the flattering smile on his face did not change at all, which formed a sharp contrast with it.

The birthday banquet lasted until the hour of Hai, and the officials and a group of foreign ministers gradually dispersed. Zhu Yinglong also drank a lot of wine, a little drunk.

Yanhong and Lin Rong helped the slightly drunk Zhu Yinglong back to the Kunning Palace, the Queen Zhou Yingning's bedroom. Today is the emperor's birthday. The queen is the emperor's wife, so we should naturally spend the night at the queen's place tonight.

Zhu Yinglong was very afraid of getting drunk. It was not just because he was drunk and misleading, but more because he was more willing to be afraid that he would tell his secret after he got drunk. This secret was too involved and could not be told. Therefore, he was very restrained in drinking and even did not drink it.

Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor and the queen had a very weak relationship, but many people did not understand why the emperor insisted on making her the queen. Even Zhu Yinglong herself couldn't explain it clearly. Perhaps the biggest reason was that she was originally the identity of her own wife!

In fact, Zhou Hou was a very virtuous queen, and this harem was well-known. She never competed for favor, was strict with herself, was lenient to others, and often helped palace maids and eunuchs in difficulty. She was kind-hearted and dignified and beautiful, so she was definitely a good wife and mother.

On the dragon bed, Zhou Yingning carefully fed Zhu Yinglong the sobering soup for a night, then covered him with a brocade quilt, sat quietly beside the couch, waiting for him to wake up.

Zhu Yinglong just felt a little dizzy, but in fact he was still very clear-headed. He knew everything Queen Zhou Yingning had done for him just now.

Perhaps, he made Zhou Yingning the queen because of her dullness, or what he longed for the most was a dullness, which he could only feel in Zhou Yingning.

"Ning'er?" Zhu Yinglong exclaimed in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I am here." Zhou Yingning said hurriedly.

"Thank you for your hard work these days, and the harem matters have made you worry."

"This is what I should do."

"Ning'er, help me up!"

"Your Majesty, slowly, you have drunk a lot of wine just now." Zhou Yingning hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhu Yinglong sit up.

"I haven't drunk much, I know it." Zhu Yinglong smiled and said, "By the way, I haven't seen Huang'er and Ning'er for several days. My father is becoming more and more incompetent!"

"Huang'er and Ning'er have already fallen asleep. Your Majesty, please see them tomorrow." Zhou Yingning whispered.
Chapter completed!
