Chapter 1082: Royal Family Banquet, the Restless Prince
"My child has seen his father, please give him regards!"
Two soft and glutinous voices made Su Mingzhe hold back what he wanted to say.
Su Mingzhe took a closer look, and unexpectedly, two cardamom girls appeared behind Xiao Ai, looking weird and charming:
"Yong'an, Yongning?"
"When did you come back?"
When Su Mingzhe saw the two girls, his eyebrows started to smile.
Both of these girls are betrothed, and their husbands are brothers—Yan Junjie’s cousins.
The Yan family has a strict family tradition and requires its children to follow the monogamy system, not to have concubines, not to be extravagant, etc.
It can be said that the Yan family's family style is very consistent with the standards for marriage with the royal family.
Among them, Yong'an's wedding will be held after the prince's wedding next year.
Yongning is still young, only fourteen years old after the new year. Her wedding will be held in a few years.
According to the customs of this era, after a woman got engaged, she had to live a simple life and could no longer appear in public.
Yong'an and Yongning, as princesses, are no exception.
As the emperor, Su Mingzhe did not want to keep his daughter in captivity.
After much deliberation, I simply funded a Kun Monastery and sent all the princesses to be married there so that they could live, study, and communicate with outsiders in the Taoist Monastery.
Now that it's the end of the year, the Taoist temple begins to have a holiday, and the princesses have time to return to Beijing.
"Yong'an and Yongning still have more face!"
Qingping looked at the scene of the father and daughter reunited with some amusement.
Now that I have met my daughter, I naturally cannot go shopping on this street.
The family returned to Shangyang Palace, chatting and laughing along the way, which was very lively.
As for those guys whose hearts were stabbed by Ouchi's guards, someone will collect their bodies a little later.
The Han Dynasty governed the country with heavy laws and regulations.
For example, when dealing with a petty thief, if caught for the first time, his fingers will be cut off and he will be imprisoned for three months.
The second time I caught him, he cut off his hand and moved away.
If there is a third time, he will be sent directly to the mine and imprisoned.
Even if we deal with petty thieves so harshly, like villains who bully the market and bully men and women, they will naturally be even more severe.
The first time he was caught, in an unsuccessful attempt, he got a tattoo and moved to Qianqian for ten years.
If he has committed a crime, he may have his hand cut off, be sent to a mine, or imprisoned, or he may have to go to Caishikou in the worst case.
These situations are the result of being caught by the government.
If he is a habitual thief or villain and is caught by the victim when he commits a crime, even if he is killed, his death will be in vain.
Don't mention these spoilers.
Su Mingzhe took his two daughters back to the palace, only to find out that the other princesses studying at Kun Monastery had returned.
Now that everyone is back, let's get together and have a family dinner.
Su Mingzhe also wants to enjoy family happiness.
Another day, it’s New Year’s Eve.
In the Golden Palace, Su Mingzhe held a grand family banquet.
Su Mingzhe, Cui Yingying, and Prince Su Shaoan were sitting at the top.
Looking at the concubines with children, the concubines without children who wanted to join in the fun, as well as the princes and princesses gathered together.
All three of them had happy expressions on their faces.
The Han Dynasty had been a country for more than 20 years. Although there were frequent droughts and floods, under the diligent governance of the emperor Su Mingzhe, the country and the people had always maintained a peaceful situation.
Among the people, refugees and bandits, and those who numbered more than a hundred people and did not respect the king, were basically extinct.
A prosperous new era is coming.
Su Mingzhe did not give other princes a chance to compete for the crown prince.
It can be said that everyone present basically kept to themselves and would not make themselves or anyone else uncomfortable.
Under such a situation, there was naturally peace in the Golden Palace.
When the banquet began, Su Mingzhe began to give a toast. After finishing his speech, he invited everyone to have a drink.
Later, Cui Yingying, as the queen, also gave a toast and invited everyone to drink together.
Unlike Su Mingzhe who was drinking with everyone, Cui Yingying's eyes mainly fell on the matchmaker not far away.
The matchmaker sat alone at a table, and the other concubines avoided her as if they were a nuisance.
However, many people looked at her with fear and a hint of admiration.
After all, the matchmaker is the only person in the Han Empire who can be fine even after scolding the emperor.
Later, as the prince, Su Shaoan also said a few words and invited everyone to drink together.
The emperor, queen, and prince were the nominal masters of the Han Empire.
The three of them finished speaking.
The bell was struck by the musicians.
The dancer entered the stage with small steps and walked slowly onto the high platform.
Everyone fell silent.
The royal family banquet of the Han Dynasty was of a high standard, second only to Su Mingzhe's banquet for civil and military officials in the Han Empire.
In addition to singing and dancing, the performances that can be arranged include various juggling, juggling, drama, etc.
It can be said that in this era, all the performance pieces that can be called elegant have been moved over.
All the concubines, princes, and princesses present were watching the show intently.
Su Mingzhe looked at it for a while and lost his mind.
He glanced at the whole place with his peripheral vision, and his mind began to make habitual calculations.
There are too many children. The total number of princes and princesses exceeds 270.
As a father, it is inevitable that he will not take good care of himself.
For example, the two princesses Yong'an and Yongning, who were relatively favored, had already settled on a husband with a good family background.
On the other hand, some princesses who are usually inconspicuous seem to be almost fifteen or sixteen years old and have not yet arranged for a husband.
"It's not good for me to treat others favorably. It's time to arrange some good families for these girls."
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
Su Mingzhe began to think again in his mind, there are those brave young men in the government and the public who are qualified to be his son-in-law.
A family dinner was held for nearly two hours before it ended.
Although Su Mingzhe keeps smiling, people who know him well know that he has been distracted.
Finally waited for the family dinner to end.
Su Mingzhe first asked Queen Cui Yingying to go with him to the imperial study to discuss matters.
After the discussion was over, Cui Yingying went back to the palace to rest, and Su Mingzhe went to Shangyang Palace to play with the concubines.
As an emperor, life is simple and unpretentious.
The Spring Festival passes quickly.
The prince's marriage was settled.
The He family, which was originally just an ordinary official family in Luoyang City, suddenly became very popular.
There is an endless stream of people coming to seek connections every day.
He Jingsi couldn't help but sigh, it's true that "if you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives".
My family was just married to the emperor, but even dignitaries like Jiu Gong and Sixteenth Marquis came to make friends and build relationships with my family.
These people are too realistic.
In a blink of an eye, it’s time to receive the lottery.
Prince Su Shaoan came to visit with a pair of wild geese he had shot a few days in advance.
He Jingsi did not dare to take advantage of his father-in-law, so he respectfully welcomed the prince into the house and treated him well.
Su Shaoan's mind was not on the banquet.
In the middle of the banquet, he escaped with wine and went to the backyard of He's house, wanting to see what his future bride looked like.
After all, he had only heard people say that He Zhenniang was gentle, virtuous, and had a dignified and delicate appearance.
He has never seen the specific appearance.
Today is the day for receiving lottery tickets. After today, the two of them will be considered a couple in name only.
Su Shao'an drank a little wine, and the alcohol became stronger. His mind became hot, and he really wanted to know what his wife looked like.
It's a pity that He Zhenniang is a very strict woman. After knowing that her marriage was decided, she even refused to leave her attic.
Su Shaoan walked around the He family yard, but found nothing.
Returning to the palace in despair, Su Shaoan took advantage of the wine to go to Qixia Palace, told his mother his thoughts, and then asked if there was any way to arrange a meeting between himself and the future crown princess.
"Nonsense!"
Cui Yingying, who once pursued free love, heard her son's words and scolded her unceremoniously:
"Prince, you are the crown prince of Han Dynasty, how dare you act so wantonly!?"
