There is an unwritten custom whenever banquets are held. Guests who are close to the host will usually arrive first, for the sake of true love and far-reaching relationships. Unless there is an alternative purpose, most of them will only be a little ahead of time, and they will laugh at the banquet. After eating, wipe their mouths and chat for a while, then leave with everyone and come out, just for the sake of courtesy.

During the Great Qi Dynasty, the emperor invited the ministers to banquet for the ministers. There was another set of rules. The ministers would gather outside the palace at the agreed time, and then the eunuch in charge would take the banquet to the Huaqing Palace and Fenghe Palace where the banquet was held. The former was the place where the emperor hosted ministers and nobles, and the latter was the place where the empress hosted the wife of the imperial decree and the relatives of the clan.

This is a minister, and royal relatives like Xiao, who can enter the palace in advance.

Emperor Hui of Ming sent a message to his cousin through Lu Zhan, asking her to take the children into the palace as soon as possible. He wanted to meet the younger generations who had been away from nearly four years.

So after lunch, Xiao took his three children, got on a carriage, and went to the palace first.

"Mom, my grandmother said that the emperor's uncle is the most fierce person in the world. If I dare to make trouble, the emperor's uncle will ask the guards to put me in prison and never let me out again. Is that true?" Heng Ge'er sat on his left side of his mother and asked a little worriedly. Brother Nian'er said this for the first time, and raised her head nervously, wanting to listen to what her mother said.

Lu Mingyu bit her lips and endured her laughter. Grandmother always used this trick to scare her children. She remembered that she first entered the palace, and grandmother also said that.

Xiao couldn't tear off his mother-in-law's platform, so he smiled and touched his eldest son's head, avoiding the importance of it: "Brother Heng listened to his grandmother's words, followed his mother obediently, and don't run around, and the emperor's uncle won't punish you."

Brother Heng leaned against the wall of the car, his little face was covered with solemnity.

Lu Mingyu guessed that the brother imagined Emperor Minghui must be a very terrifying person at this time, but her uncle...

Lu Mingyu's mood gradually became more complicated. Not to mention her status, Emperor Minghui was the only one who could compete with her father among the thirty-year-old men she had ever met. If her father was considered elegant and gentle, Emperor Minghui was born with a noble character, and naturally better than his father. Lu Mingyu also remembered that after his aunt entered the palace in her previous life, she visited relatives several times before and after, and her aunt's complexion was getting better day by day. At first, she was nervous and cramped, and soon became a beautiful, charming and joyful new bride. In addition to Emperor Minghui's favor, it must also be related to Emperor Minghui's outstanding appearance.

Men love sex, but women are not the same? Like those folk operas, if the hero who saved the beauty had an ugly appearance and the scholar who picked up a rich lady's embroidered handkerchief, he would not have been able to agree with his body, and the romance of the later ones. Including her and Chu Sui, Chu Sui was approaching her many times because of her beauty. Her heartbeat on the cruise ship that day was also his appearance.

Unfortunately, her appearance is unreliable, and neither she nor her aunt will have a good ending.

The winter wind blew the car curtain, and through the sudden crack, a corner of the towering red palace wall appeared. Lu Mingyu took a deep breath of this refreshing cool air and decided to only treat Emperor Minghui as his uncle in this life. His aunt had already been engaged. Emperor Minghui in the previous life just failed to protect his aunt and did not treat him harshly. Later, he was depressed and never set foot in the harem again. Lu Mingyu really couldn't blame such Emperor Minghui.

After getting off the carriage, he saw that Eunuch Fu was already waiting here. Eunuch Fu was the apprentice of the eunuch Guo Yong. Guo Yong was sent by the late emperor to serve the newly born Emperor Hui of Ming. After thirty years, Guo Yong was the person who spent the most time with Emperor Hui of Ming every day and was deeply trusted by Emperor Hui of Ming. Even the princes had to be polite when they saw him. The court officials could also guess Emperor Hui of Ming based on Guo Yong's attitude towards everyone.

Today, Xiao's mother and wife entered the palace, and Guo Yong actually sent his beloved disciple to greet him, which shows how much Emperor Minghui values ​​Xiao's cousin.

After the greetings, Xiao led Nian Ge'er in front, and Lu Mingyu and his brother followed behind and followed Eunuch Fu to Qianyuan Palace. It was where Emperor Hui of Ming usually handled memorials and was also the real bedroom where Emperor Hui of Ming had lived the longest time.

In the front hall of Qianyuan Palace, it is rare to let go of state affairs for the time being. Emperor Hui of Ming is checking the homework of the third and fourth princes.

The third prince Xiao Shuo is about to be fifteen after the New Year. Like his brother, King Qing, he has a round face with Queen Wan. He looks like Queen Wan. He is really not fat, but his cheeks are so whispering, it makes people think that he is a little fat man. Fortunately, Queen Wan is also a beauty. Although the third prince did not inherit the beauty of his father, he is a handsome young man with a beautiful face.

The only disadvantage is that the third prince’s head is really a bit stupid.

Listening to the third prince stammering and memorizing an article, Emperor Minghui leaned lazily on the bed of the Diaolong Arhat, stroked his forehead with one hand, and moved his starry eyes from the third prince to the fourth prince Xiao Xuan, "Fourth Lao, where have you learned "Mencius"?"

The fourth prince is nine years old, but he is currently reading "Mencius" like his brother, the third prince. Finally, it is his turn to show it. The fourth prince looked at his brother with his head down beside him, and a proud look that he thought no one knew about him quickly passed through his eyes. Then he raised his chest and recited it in a loud voice, memorizing the passage that the third prince had just said.

The third prince heard that his brother was so fluent in his back, his head was lowered, and his hands were quietly clenched at the cuffs, without jealousy in his eyes, only inferiority.

How good would it be if he was as smart as his fourth brother? Then the queen would not sigh at him often, and the queen would not frown in disappointment. The queen and queen had never scolded him, but the third prince knew that he was stupid. Unless the fifth brother who had just born grew up and became stupider than him, he was the stupidest among his brothers...

One was sad and the other was complacent. Emperor Minghui seemed to have closed his eyes, but in fact he took all the performances of his two sons. The third brother was stupid, but he was mellow in nature. Emperor Minghui could not count on him, but he felt very pity for this stupid son. His qualifications were born with nature. His son was born with stupidity. He couldn't force him to come, but he was just the fourth brother...

Emperor Hui of Ming likes smart sons, but is arrogant and disrespectful to his brothers. This is a matter of character. If he cannot change it, he will be embarrassed to have a great responsibility.

Just as he was about to admonish the fourth prince, Guo Yong bent over and turned, "Master Lu San, has arrived."

The third prince turned his head curiously and looked out. The fourth prince also moved his head, but looked at the father in front of him and held back.

Emperor Minghui sighed silently, he should be like a child without childlessness, and he should grow up and be sensible, but he still has a child's temper.

"Please come in." Emperor Minghui sat upright, opened his eyes, his black eyes were deep and bright, like a dragon waking up, and he no longer had the lazy aura he had shown to his sons before. Seeing Xiao bringing three beautiful children in, Emperor Minghui's lips raised. He had many expectations for the princes and naturally more sophisticated, but Emperor Minghui simply liked the children of his relatives.

"My wife, please see the emperor." Xiao stood seven steps away from the Diaolong Arhat bed and bowed. Behind him, Lu Mingyu led his two younger brothers to kneel down and kowtow to Emperor Hui, "A Nuan (Heng Ge'er, Nian Ge'er) pays his respects to the emperor's uncle. May the emperor's uncle be healthy and live the long life of the future."

When the sister's voice is sweet, the younger brothers' voices are crisp and together, and they are pleasant to hear.

Emperor Hui of Ming laughed loudly, signaling the four of them to get up, and waved to Nian Ge'er first, "Group Nian Ge'er comes here and ask the emperor uncle to hug you. Your sister, brother, and the emperor uncle have all been hugged, so Nian Ge'er's can't be left behind."

Brother Nian went back to the palace and looked at his mother nervously.

Xiao encouraged his son softly, "Group Nian, go quickly. If you like the emperor's uncle, the emperor's uncle will reward you with good things."

Nian Ge'er looked at the man in the yellow robe sitting upright on the Arhat's bed and walked forward half-believingly.

The boy looks very much like his father, and is handsome and handsome. Emperor Ming Hui likes him very much. He carries Nian Ge'er to his lap intimately, lowers his head and asks with a smile: "How old is Nian Ge'er?"

Brother Nian looked at him and slowly stretched out his three fat fingers, "I will be four tomorrow."

"So smart." Emperor Ming Hui praised it without hesitation and took out the meeting gift from his sleeve that had been prepared for his nephew. A golden carved cow long life lock was engraved with "peace and wishful thinking" in front and "long blessings" on the back. At such an age, Nian Ge'er didn't know how to appreciate jade and antiques, she liked gold objects that were valuable at first sight. She held the long life lock in her little hand and looked at her mother happily.

Xiao laughed at him, "Why don't you thank the emperor uncle?"

Nian Ge'er raised her head and looked at the man waiting for him to thank him. She suddenly stepped forward and kissed Emperor Minghui on the face.

Xiao was stunned, looking at the circle of saliva marks on Emperor Minghui's face, his heart raised.

Emperor Minghui was also stunned for a while. His own son had never kissed him. The first time he enjoyed this kind of treatment, Emperor Minghui was very happy and rubbed Nian Ge'er's head. He wanted to hug him for a while and then put it down, but suddenly he couldn't bear to let go. He asked Nian Ge'er to play with the long-lived lock with a golden bell. He smiled and raised his head and looked at Lu Mingyu's brother.

Lu Mingyu was frightened by her younger brother just now, and her cheeks turned red because of nervousness, which seemed a bit shy.

Emperor Ming Hui looked at his cousin again and praised him sincerely: "A Nuan looks more and more like your mother, like our royal family."

Lu Mingyu looked back at his elders openly and joked obediently: "That's because the emperor's uncle likes me, and my father always says I look like him."

Emperor Minghui smiled and looked at Heng Ge'er, "Brother Nian is like your father, Heng Ge'er's eyes are like your grandfather, it's not bad. Both of you have worked hard, and when you grow up, your uncle is named you as a high-ranking official."

Brother Heng was brave and tentatively said, "Uncle Emperor, I want to be a general."

Emperor Minghui nodded seriously, "Okay, but Brother Heng has to learn kung fu well. Only men with good kung fu can become generals."

Brother Heng nodded excitedly, "I can squat in horse stance!"

Emperor Ming Hui raised his eyebrows in shock and asked Brother Heng to squat one immediately.

Heng Ge'er immediately walked forward two steps and poses in a sensible manner. Emperor Minghui looked at him with a smile. The fourth prince looked at Nian Ge'er sitting on his father's lap, but pursed his lips unhappily. He couldn't understand why Nian Ge'er praised him for his intelligence just by saying that his father was old. He recited the letter so well, but he didn't even laugh at him.

The fourth prince did not dare to blame his father, so he exuded his resentment on Heng Ge'er and Nian Ge'er. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't like it.

The third prince looked at Brother Heng who was squatting for a while, and his eyes moved secretly to Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu wore a light peach-pink palace outfit today. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with tangled plum blossoms. It was bright and luxurious. She wore thick-soled peony embroidered shoes under her feet. She looked much taller, with pink face and peach cheeks standing beside Xiao, standing obediently, like a freshly budded peony, tender and watery.

The third prince watched with relish. The queen always praised the Chu sisters as beautiful, but the third prince thought that this A Nuan sister was the best.

The young man's eyes were clear and persistent, and he simply liked his new sister. Lu Mingyu felt it and looked over with confusion.

When his eyes met, the third prince was stunned for a moment, and then grinned at Lu Mingyu, not thinking that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

The third prince is stupid, almost everyone knows that he is. Facing the young man's kind smile, Lu Mingyu also smiled slightly.

The princes of this dynasty were all 16 years old and were granted marriages. Lu Mingyu remembered that the princess of the third prince in his previous life seemed to be the youngest daughter of Lord Yan, the envoy of Tongzheng.

"Emperor, the Duke of Chu and his family have arrived."

Guo Yong walked in again and reported respectfully.
