The King of Chu and the important officials in the court had never interacted with each other. Now that they were politely rejected, many of the courtiers just shook their heads and smiled, and turned away from their warm faces and their cold buttocks.
Xu Xin was canonized as a concubine. The palace only hung two red lanterns outside to show the happy event of the palace. There were many children on Chengxian Street, asking for wedding candies at the door. Aji saw that today was a happy event for the palace, so he prepared many wedding candies to comfort the children.
Suddenly he saw two people coming together. He took a closer look and saw, weren't they His Highness Taisun and Yu Qian?
"Is your prince here? You already have Princess Chu, but you haven't asked us to come for a drink? Prince Chu's palace has made a lot of money, are you still afraid that your highness will become poor because of it?"
Zhu Zhanji laughed and cursed, but was not polite and walked directly to the house.
Aji was just a bodyguard around Zhu Muchen, how could he dare to stop His Majesty the Grand Sun? He nodded hastily and stupidly, "My prince is in the hall, and I will take you in right away."
At this moment, Aji silently burned a stick of incense for himself. Prince, please let me go. There is really no other way. One is His Highness Taisun, and the other is Yu Qian, who you have always been with. Which one of these two should I do?
Can't stop it.
Today is the day when Xu Xin becomes a concubine. Zhu Muchen asked people to prepare food and drinks. He wanted to have a good celebration, but he didn't expect Aji to come with the two of them. The two came uninvited and did not kick them out on the big day.
principle.
"Aji, prepare a few more futons and invite the princess to come over!" Zhu Muchen ordered.
In the past, there was no hostess in the palace, but now it seems that there is a hostess. When guests come, they naturally have to entertain them. Besides, these two people came to the palace today to have a glass of wine, and more to celebrate that the palace of Prince Chu has a hostess. How?
Can the hostess not show up?
When Xu Xin heard the news that the prince invited her over, she was very surprised, "The person coming here is His Highness the Grand Sun, which makes me..."
There was some hesitation in her heart. After all, she came from a humble background. If she really did something wrong, would she not be blamed by the prince?
Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou looked at each other and said with relief: "The prince is still waiting. If my sister was too late in the past, she might not have given the prince face. Since His Highness the Grand Sun is willing to come to the prince's palace, that's fine."
To give the prince some face, since we are a womanly family, I believe His Highness the Grand Sun will not care too much."
The two of them were not married and could not serve at the table. They were a little envious in their hearts, but they still urged Xu Xin to come earlier.
By the time Xu Xin arrived, several people were already having a good time drinking and talking. Half of the dishes were served, and there were a few cold dishes at the back. Xu Xin personally took the food list, compared it carefully, and suddenly frowned, "This princess has been studying in the past few days.
In order to understand the preferences of the nobles in the palace, I heard that His Highness Taisun dislikes okra very much, so I will remove this dish containing okra."
"I remember that when Mr. Yu Qian came last time, my favorite drink was the prince's Chengyu wine. I remember that the prince still has one or two bottles in the wine cellar, so I can quickly bring it to entertain the distinguished guests."
After settling down the servants, Xu Xin sat obediently next to Zhu Muchen. She couldn't get in the middle of the conversation of several grown men. She only occasionally picked up the serving chopsticks and served the prince with dishes, all of which Zhu Muchen liked to eat.
Opposite me, Yu Qian was filled with envy.
"I became the censor of Shi Laozi, and I was a relaxed and comfortable official. But when did a person who knew both cold and heat take care of the King of Chu like the Princess of Chu, I really envy you!"
His Royal Highness, Zhu Zhanji, just smiled and patted Yu Qian's shoulder, with a blush on his face, "We can't even envy King Chu's blessing. Lord Yu Qian's blessing is still to come, don't do it.
in a hurry."
Just as they were talking, they saw a young boy coming over with Cheng Yu Niang. He smelled the wine from afar. Yu Qian's nose twitched and he immediately jumped in anger, "Last time, the King of Chu told me that Cheng Yu Niang
That was the last altar. Today, when Your Majesty the Grand Sun comes down, why is another altar born? Princess Chu is still so generous."
It's not that Zhu Muchen didn't want to give them drinks, it was just that he forgot about it while chatting, so he opened the wine jar himself and filled it for a few people!
After drinking too much wine, Zhu Muchen couldn't hide the words in his heart. Zhu Muchen fell drunkenly into Xu Xin's arms and said shockingly: "His Royal Highness Zhu Zhanji, you will definitely be honored with the title of Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future. If you can change the Ming Dynasty,
After decades of national policy, we started the age of navigation, established ocean-going warships, and spent ten years building warships. After we have a large number of warships, we will draw up a suitable route, and it will take another twenty years to expand our Ming Dynasty's maritime territory."
Although Yu Qian is a drunkard, he also knows what to say and what not to say. He turned pale with fright and quickly picked up a chopstick of food and handed it to Zhu Muchen's mouth, "Your Majesty, don't just drink. Eat food. Today we
I've stayed long enough, why don't I bother you again some other time..."
As he said this, he stood up and staggered to get His Highness Taisun, but Zhu Zhanji was listening with great interest, how could he leave?
"Since everyone has come to disturb us, I believe that the King of Chu will not mind this small meeting. Why not stay for a while and listen to the great insights of the King of Chu."
With the blood boiling in his heart, can he really achieve the position of supreme being in the 95th Five-Year Plan? He is half sober after drinking.
Zhu Muchen heard that the person opposite wanted to hear what he had to say. Anyway, he was so drunk that he simply stood up and said eloquently: "As long as we start the age of navigation, we will seize the American continent as soon as possible and build our Ming Dynasty in every corner of the world.
Colonies, search for high-end talents in metallurgy and alchemy from all over the world, occupy every port first, and then establish colonies. As long as we take the lead, our Ming Dynasty will have a bright future!"
"With colonies, we can plunder resources from all over the world, and then abandon the useless thing of coming to Korea from all countries, and switch to global colonization. As long as you surrender to us, you will avoid being beaten. If you are not willing to surrender, let them have a taste with your fists."
Our Ming Dynasty is powerful."
When Zhu Muchen said he was happy, he hugged the pillar and pressed his face against it, drooling with excitement. He even imagined what it would be like if the tentacles of the Ming Empire extended to every corner of the world.
He described it as a powerful thing, but Zhu Zhanji didn't react for a long time. He kept thinking about these words in his mouth, "World? Navigation? Battleship? Colonization?"
What exactly is this? But he should understand the general meaning. After he is firmly seated in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he should expand the territory of the entire Ming Dynasty and develop it even stronger. Just thinking about it makes him excited.
passionate.
Yu Qian, who is addicted to alcohol, could not stop him before, but now His Highness Taisun refused to stop him. He stood stunned for a long time holding the wine glass with his mouth wide open. He had no intention of drinking today. The King of Chu was drunker than him.
Even scarier.
Xu Xin, who was sitting on the futon, knew that it was not good for a woman like her to interrupt at this time, but her own prince was so drunk that he was so stupid, what should he do?
Just as he was hesitating, His Highness Taisun Zhu Zhanji suddenly sat on a bench in the pavilion with Zhu Muchen. The two held hands like a pair of brothers. His Highness Taisun said with all his heart: "Although your Highness does not
I know what kind of ruling method you are talking about, but I have always regarded you as a friend. I will definitely obey the King of Chu's strategies without any exception. From today on, you and I are just grasshoppers on a rope."
Smiling infatuatedly, the two brothers Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Muchen hugged each other's shoulders. The King of Chu made it clear that when he was in the north, the two of them fought bloody battles and advanced and retreated together. Their friendship could not be overturned.
Instead, it’s not a bad idea to take a trip to Prince Chu’s Mansion today.
In Zhu Zhanji's eyes, as long as the King of Chu said that he could ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it meant that the King of Chu had already taken a stand and would definitely support him in taking the throne.
Yu Qian put down his wine glass. He had always admired King Chu. Although he did not understand what King Chu was saying, he was willing to follow King Chu and His Highness Taisun. He picked up a glass of wine and raised his voice: "Your Highness Taisun, if you have any
Whatever I, Yu Qian, can do, I will go through fire and water for you."
After subduing two people at once, Zhu Zhanji sobered up a little. Although Yu Qian was a new member of the imperial court, his ability even made Prince Zhu Gaochi win over him. It would be good to have one more person to help him. He raised his glass and touched Yu Qian.
Drink it all.
Seeing the three people entangled and talking nonsense again, at this moment, Xu Xin, who had been sweating next to her, saw that Zhu Muchen couldn't hold it back and even vomited out the food he had just eaten, so he hurried over to pick it up.
He stopped him and said apologetically: "Your Highness, Mr. Yu Qian, I'm really sorry. My prince is too drunk and is already drunk. Please don't take it to heart. I will take him back to change his clothes."
"
Zhu Zhanji saw that today's drink was almost finished. He waved his hand and asked Princess Chu to take King Chu back first. He waved his sleeves and said, "Master Yu Qian, have you finished your drink today? Let's leave after you finish."
King Chu, please rest."
The two left together, and the banquet was over, but Xu Xin's heart was pounding, and she personally changed Zhu Muchen's clothes, put him on the bed, wiped his face with a hot towel, and sighed. The prince was usually very cautious.
We were almost at every step in Nanjing City, fearing that we would make the wrong move. Not long after the emperor's reward arrived, the prince suddenly said some words of positioning. If it reached the ears of the person above, wouldn't that husband be able to encourage His Highness the Grand Sun to plot?
Usurping power?
At that time, she was a woman and could only cough hard, but she could not stop the prince and did not dare to interrupt. Now she frowned tightly, and she was really sweating for her husband.
Zhu Muchen was still drunk in his dream, imitating a wine glass with his hand, "Come, let's drink again, fill it up, Yu Qian, didn't you say you like Cheng Yu Niang? When you leave, I will be generous and give you a glass.
!”
"Why don't you drink? Aren't you always a drunkard? I haven't been able to drink it yet. Where is the wine? Where is the wine I drank?"
Zhu Muchen clenched his hands into fists and put them to his mouth. He didn't drink a drop of wine and fell into a deep sleep again. Xu Xin was covered in cold sweat and leaned against the bed, not daring to take a step away for fear that the prince would say something random again.?
