Chapter 290 The Queen’s Birthday, Amnesty to the World
On the day of Queen Qin's birthday banquet, Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty issued a decree for amnesty to the world.
Let the people of Dayong Dynasty celebrate his queen together.
As soon as this news came out, the whole court was naturally shocked, and the people even praised him, saying that the emperor and empress had a deep love for each other.
The concubines in the harem were really jealous.
Even if they had known for a long time that the emperor only had eyes for the queen, Concubine De and Shu Fei and others had already looked away, but this time the emperor made such a grand gesture for the queen's birthday, which still made them unable to help but feel envious, jealous, and hateful.
.
However, no matter how bitter it is, she is the queen, who dares to make a mistake?
As a daughter-in-law, Yin Ruhua naturally had to express her mother-in-law's first birthday.
But the precious objects in her hand were all given to her by her mother-in-law to play with, or they were given to her by Situ Ji.
Speaking of myself, I really don’t have much to offer.
Besides, my mother-in-law is a queen, so what good things have I never seen? No matter how hard I try, I can't get anything out of it.
So after thinking about it, Yin Ruhua made a new outfit for her mother-in-law a month ago.
Every aspect of the clothes is very good and there are no flaws, but when entering the palace with such a birthday gift, Yin Ruhua is still worried about whether she will look shabby?
Situ Ji didn't think so, "From the selection of fabrics to the completion, you did it all yourself. Your mother will like this gift."
Clothes are not worth the money, but they are better because of your sincerity.
Yin Ruhua felt relieved.
So I followed him and went into the palace to congratulate my mother-in-law on her birthday.
On the day of the birthday banquet, officials of second rank or above can bring their family members into the palace to attend the banquet.
Marquis Yin brought Mrs. Zhang into the palace with him. As for Aunt Hui, even though she was Yin Ruhua's biological mother, she was not qualified to come to such an occasion.
Even if she comes, it will make Yin Ruhua lose face, so don't say she can't come, even if she can come, she won't come.
In formal occasions, Mrs. Zhang, her aunt, had to be present, and Mrs. Zhang was accompanied by her second daughter-in-law, Zhang Yuxin.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Mr. Zhang from Duke Huiguo's mansion, Mrs. Zhang and his son and daughter-in-law were already waiting for them.
The two families are related by marriage and blood, so it goes without saying that they are related.
Together with Mr. Zhang and his grandson Zhang Xianwu, Yin Houye talked about the recent events in the capital.
Mrs. Zhang was with Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Yuxin and Zhang Xianwu's wife, Mrs. He. When women got together, they talked more about family matters.
Mrs. Zhang and her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. He, both went back to see Yin Ruxing.
However, the Zhang family has a lot of things going on. I haven’t gone since the last time I visited them. I don’t know how they are recovering these days.
Since Zhang Yuxin, the daughter-in-law, and He, the nephew-in-law, were still there, Zhang just said that she was recovering well and didn't mention much.
The Queen's birthday banquet was held in Chonghua Hall.
The Chonghua Palace is not in the harem, but is a position between the harem and the previous dynasty. Because the harem is the residence of the concubines, there are male guests at this palace banquet. In order to avoid conflicts, such banquets are usually held here.
When they arrived, many people had already arrived at Chonghua Hall.
For example, families such as Dingbei Hou Mansion, Lin'an Prince Mansion, and Xiao Family and Zheng Family.
There are no officials above the second rank in the Xiao family, and Mr. Xiao, who has the highest official position, is actually only from the third rank.
Of course, the reason why I was able to get in was because as a member of Concubine Shu's family, the mother clan of King Qi, I was related to the royal family, so I was able to get a post to enter the palace.
There are male and female seats in the Chonghua Hall. The male seats are on the left and the female seats are on the right. The seats of each family who come to the banquet are also arranged.
The Zhang family and the Yinhou Mansion are related by marriage, so their seats were arranged together.
Mr. Yin Hou and Mr. Zhang and his son sat together on the men's side, while Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sat on the women's side.
On the left is the position of the female family members of the Guozhang's Mansion, and on the right is the wife of Dingbei Hou.
The female family members of the Guozhang Mansion have not yet arrived, but Mrs. Dingbeihou has arrived. Mrs. Zhang and her two sisters-in-law have a very good relationship with Mrs. Dingbeihou. After they sat down, they started chatting with her.
Mrs. Dingbei Hou had a cheerful temperament and said: "The Queen likes to be clean. She has rarely held any banquets over the years, let alone a big event like today. I heard that the Queen originally wanted to forget it.
She didn’t want to spend any money, but the emperor wanted to do it for her, so it was done!”
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "The Empress is used to being simple, but it's good to be lively like this once in a while."
Zhang nodded, "That's right."
Mrs. Dingbei Hou: "Yes, although the past two years have not been peaceful, our Dayong Dynasty has been blessed by God, and it has not caused too much damage. The bustling and bustling is harmless."
After chatting and joking with them for a while, he talked about his own banquet: "I'm going to have a banquet next month, and you all have to be there. You must not be absent, otherwise I will fall out with you."
"Mrs. Dingbei Hou invited us to attend the banquet no matter what. Even if you think we are shameless and come uninvited, we still have to ask for a cup of tea." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.
"Why do you come here uninvited? I will be the first to post for you when the time comes!" Mrs. Dingbei Hou said happily.
They were talking and joking, not to mention Mrs. Xiao, who was a few tables away, being surrounded by several ladies and praising her.
Mrs. Xiao smiled so proudly.
Mrs. Zheng, the mother-in-law of King Rong, looked disdainfully at Mrs. Xiao who was smiling very happily as she was held in the moonlight by the stars. "Look at how frivolous she is. Has she forgotten who she is after climbing up to the eldest princess?"
?”
Although Princess Lin'an also felt that Mrs. Xiao's nouveau riche behavior was really unbecoming of an elegant person, what kind of occasion was this?
"Now that the prince and the prince of Qi have joined forces, we should not have any friction with the Xiao family." Don't speak ill of others in public.
Mrs. Zheng said: "I know, I'm just telling you."
Princess Lin'an, "..." Don't tell me, I don't want to hear it at all.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang who were chatting happily with Mrs. Dingbeihou, and joked: "I heard that Mrs. Dingbeihou will host another banquet next month. What happened at her banquet last time
She doesn't feel ashamed that she has to do something scandalous this time!"
Princess Lin'an, "..."
"There is also Zhang Yulan (Mr. Zhang), she has a strong temper all her life. Who would have thought that in the end, her daughter was given away by a concubine. In the end, the fake concubine gave birth to a concubine and married into the Prince of Qi's palace as a princess. The legitimate daughter she gave birth to
But you can only marry into the Mu family, a rough guy whose ancestors were born as butchers! You are pregnant and have a big belly, you can be beaten to premature birth, and almost kill one and two people, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Princess Lin'an really wanted to change seats. She finally understood who Princess Rong's mouth looked like. She definitely looked like this mother-in-law!
On such occasions, one can speak so freely!
Facing Mrs. Zheng's look that said, "It's your turn to say a few words", Princess Lin'an said: "...These things are no secrets."
So don’t take it out and fry the leftover rice!
Mrs. Zheng was about to say something when she turned around and saw Mrs. Qin coming with her daughter-in-law.
He suddenly sneered and whispered, "I'm afraid you don't know, but I got an inside message. The prince wanted to send Qin Xi to the military camp to train, but Qin Xi couldn't hold up the wall. In order not to go to the military camp, he had to give it to himself.
He drugged himself to the point of vomiting and diarrhea, and he lay on the bed with a fever that made him talk nonsense!"
