Chapter 305: The Banquet (1)
Kunning Palace is one of the three palaces in the inner court, located behind Jiaotai Hall. Its name comes from the original text of the Tao Te Ching: In the past, if one gets one, the heaven is clear, the earth is calm, the god is spiritual, the valley is full, all things are full, and all mortals are born, and the marquis and kings are one and think that the world is upright.
This name also represents the status of the queen and the emperor. It is the most noble among women in the world. The emperor is the sky, the queen is the earth, the emperor is the Gan, the queen is Kun, and the queen is also the only one in the world. It sits north and south, with 9 corridors and 3 deep, with yellow glazed tiles and double-eaved hip roofs.
When Yang Feng and his family entered the main hall of Kunning Palace, they saw six or seven gorgeously dressed men standing in the main hall. After seeing Zhu Youxiao and his wife come in, they bowed and said in unison: "I, I, please pay homage to Your Majesty and the Queen, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, thousand years of long lives!"
"Let's just flat!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand casually to signal the people to get up, and turned to Yang Feng behind him and smiled: "Yang Aiqing, I will introduce you to you. This is Liang Concubine, Hui Concubine Cheng, Rong Concubine Chun, Feng Concubine and Concubine Hu."
"The Emperor...this..."
Yang Feng was already a little shocked. In the feudal era, the way friends could call out his wife and family to introduce him to each other can be called the best of the family. If the relationship was not so good, he would not do this. Moreover, Yang Feng was sure that Zhu Youxiao had definitely called out all the women in his harem. This favor and trust had never been seen in the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.
The key to being intimate with people is to be intimate. Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was so intimate, it would be impossible to say that Yang Feng was not excited. It was like taking the whole family to a friend’s house alone, and his friends handed over his wife and children to accompany him. It is understandable that such a thing happened to ordinary people, but Zhu Youxiao, as an imperial family, made the same actions as ordinary people. It is too rare for such favors.
Yang Feng bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao and said with emotion: "What kind of virtue is me? I am really frightened to be able to be so respectful to Your Majesty."
Seeing Yang Feng bow down, Zheng Tuoniang, Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe, and Da Yuer, who were following him, all followed him to bow down.
Zhu Youxiao laughed and convinced Yang Feng with his own hands: "Yang Aiqing, don't do this. I originally said that you have been busy with the school review in two days, but the queen insisted on asking you to the palace to have a banquet and called your family. I thought about it before agreeing. Speaking of which, it was all the queen's credit, and it had nothing to do with me."
"Oh...so that's it."
Yang Feng looked at the queen Zhang Yan in surprise. He didn't expect that it was the queen's credit for him to enter the palace for a banquet today. If this is the case, this woman's political wisdom would definitely not be underestimated. However, he thought again that in another time and space, Wei Zhongxian and his old lover were able to cover the sky in the palace, but Zhang Yan could compete with them, which was enough to prove her skills and wisdom.
Seeing Yang Feng, Zhang Yan smiled slightly. She seemed to see through Yang Feng's thoughts and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang is too worried. In fact, I heard that Lord Yang not only married Zheng Tuo Niang, the famous Qinhuai River, to the golden house to hide the sweetheart, but also led the army to the grassland to snatch the most beautiful pearl of the Korqin tribe. After hearing this, I was very curious and wondered who the sacred Hai Lanzhu was able to make our General Yang so fascinated. Now can Lord Yang introduce these women behind you to the palace?"
"This...of course!"
Yang Feng didn't expect that the queen would be so straightforward. After coughing lightly, he grabbed Hai Lanzhu's hand and introduced her to her: "This is the newly married wife of Chen, Hai Lanzhu. Her father is Zaisang, the leader of the Korqin tribe."
“Yo…”
Zhang Yan looked at Hai Lanzhu even though she was the queen, and today Hai Lanzhu wore a white plain long skirt, a floral skirt with a green bottom and a tassel hanging flower skirt, and a light gold bottom marten fur and cicada wing gauze. Her head was as elegant as a cloud, her skin was as creamy as a cloisonne bracelet, and her feet were wearing blue bottom lotus soft satin shoes, which looked beautiful and vulgar.
Hai Lanzhu's beauty is not a matter of gender. Even Zhang Yan couldn't help but be amazed. He stepped forward and grabbed Hai Lanzhu's hand and exclaimed: "It turns out that he is a woman like a falling fish and falling geese. Even I am stunned. Let's do this. This bracelet was given to me by Your Majesty a few years ago. I will give it to you today."
After saying that, Zhang Yan took off a white and crystal-clear bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Hai Lanzhu's hand.
"this……"
Hai Lanzhu held the bracelet and looked at her husband hesitantly. After seeing Hai Lanzhu's inquiring gaze, Yang Feng couldn't help laughing, "Please accept it. Of course, the Queen's things will be taken away. If she doesn't accept it, wouldn't she give face to His Majesty and the Queen?"
After hearing her husband's words, Hai Lanzhu then received the bracelet after getting a blessing to Zhang Yan.
Seeing that Yang Feng was so at ease, Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing and covered her mouth: "No wonder Your Majesty likes you so much. Lord Yang is really upright and honest, unlike some people who obviously like him but want to pretend to refuse."
Zhu Youxiao also laughed and joked: "Zi Tong, you don't know. Last year, when I was a guest at Qianhu, his Jiangdongmen Village, this guy planned to take care of me for food. I didn't want to give it to him at that time, but I was unhappy."
"What, there is such a thing?"
Zhang Yan looked at the concubines beside her and couldn't believe it, and finally burst into laughter.
Yang Feng scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I wasn't too poor at that time. I wanted to get some money to subsidize the daily expenses of Thousand Households. Didn't you ask for it later?"
Zhang Yan was so angry that she almost collapsed to the ground and pointed at Yang Feng and couldn't speak. Until now, she finally knew why her husband always talked about this person. This person was so interesting.
"Okay...Okay, stop laughing, I will introduce these to you next."
Yang Feng was afraid that Zhang Yan would laugh out loud, so he would be in trouble. He quickly pulled Zhezhe, Da Yuer and Zheng Tuoni over and said, "This is Zheng Tuoni, who was originally a girl from an official family, but later his father was convicted and sold to a brothel. Last year, Weichen redeemed her for her. As for these two..."
Speaking of this, Yang Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, "This real name is Borjijit Zhezhe, and this real name is Borjijit Bumbutai, and this real name is Borjijit Bumbutai, the real sister of Hailanzhu. They were originally the concubines of Huang Taiji, the eighth son of the thief chief Nurhaci. Later, they were captured by ministers on the grassland and snatched them from the ministers. Now they are all ministers' women."
"Dang..."
The hall where laughter was originally full of laughter immediately stopped, and everyone looked at Yang Feng and the girls behind him with incredible eyes.
The teacup in Zhu Youxiao's hand fell to the ground, and a fine teacup produced by Jingdezhen fell to the ground and fell into pieces. He pointed at Yang Feng and pointed at the three girls of Hai Lanzhu for a moment, but they couldn't speak for a while. Even Zhang Yan opened her mouth wide and pointed at Yang Feng for a while. She didn't know what to do.
In fact, Yang Feng married Zheng Tuoniang, a woman from Qinhuaihe. In the eyes of Zhu Youxiao and others, he was just a young and romantic person, and it was nothing. But he married the three aunts and nephews together, and the three aunts and nephews married the same husband. This incident was really incredible and amazing for everyone who was deeply influenced by the etiquette and law of the Han people.
"This is this..." Zhu Youxiao stuttered for a long time and didn't know how to speak.
After seeing the reactions from everyone, Yang Feng noticed that the faces of the three girls of Hai Lanzhu were a little dim and lowered his head. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, please report to Rong Chen, this is the case. After I arrived in Liaodong last year..."
Immediately after Yang Feng took him to Liaodong, he felt that the cavalry was insufficient and lacked war horses, so he decided to lead his troops to the grassland to get enough war horses through war. Unexpectedly, he met Huang Taiji, who was carrying the bride price and two concubines to propose marriage to Hai Lanzhu, and then defeated Huang Taiji and then rolled the bed sheets with the two of them, accidentally letting Zhezhe get pregnant with his child.
Finally he said, "This is actually the fault of the ministers, which ruins their reputation. If the minister ignores them and allows them to stay in the Korqin tribe, they will definitely die. Since the matter is caused by the ministers, then the ministers will be responsible for them, so they will bring them back to the Ming Dynasty without stopping."
Yang Feng talked about this for half an hour. The hall was quiet, and only Yang Feng's voice echoed in the hall. Zhang Yan and the concubines were stunned when they heard it. How did they, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, have heard such a bizarre thing?
When Yang Feng narrated, Hai Lanzhu, Zhezhe and Da Yuer's three girls had red eyes. Finally, when they saw that Yang Feng had taken all the mistakes on them, tears could no longer be allowed to flow out. The three of them couldn't help but come behind Yang Feng and leaned on him and cried.
After a long time, a beautiful woman sitting next to Zhang Yan exclaimed: "It's so terrifying and bizarre, it's even better than what is said in the play."
Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly: "The Liang Concubine is right. I have never heard of such a bizarre thing. If the three daughters of Hai Lanzhu were not standing in front of me, and Yang Aiqing said it personally, I would have thought it was fabricated."
