It took more than an hour for Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu to send them off. If the palace officials hadn't repeatedly urged them to hint that it was time for lunch, the empress, prince and others were waiting for them to eat, and they still didn't want to have dinner with Manchuria. Po they are separated.
Mingda is very envious of their trip to the Western Regions, and wonders when I will be able to take the trip too.
Changyu only likes gems and spices from the Western Regions, as well as the most delicious lamb soup and pancakes that Man Bao said, and he doesn't really want to go to the Western Regions to bask in the sun and blow sand.
She said: "After I open the mansion, I will send someone to find a cook from the Western Regions and buy sheep from the Western Regions. I will also try the sheep soup and pancakes there."
Man Bao and Ming Da said: "Today Your Majesty asked us what our plans are for the future. Bai Er said that we will take the Jinshi examination this year, and if we still fail the examination, we will take the Mingjing examination next year, and then we will be released like us."
Mingda's forehead twitched, and after glancing at Bai Erlang, he became thoughtful.
Man Bao smiled and said: "Your Majesty is not very happy."
Mingda nodded to her, "I see."
Whether she can travel all over the world in the future depends on whether Bai Erlang can let her go.
Thinking of it this way, Ming Da went back arrogantly.
The emperor was playing with his little grandson in his arms, the crown prince and Prince Gong sat beside him, and the crown prince and princess Gong sat beside him and talked quietly.
The relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince Gong is not very good, but in fact the relationship between the Crown Prince and Concubine Gong is good. Although it is not close, it is not bad, but in front of the Empress, there are children as a topic, so they just talk about it. It became a little more intimate.
As soon as the two sisters-in-law came in, the two immediately stopped talking, greeted them with smiles, and turned their attention to them.
The emperor was a little dissatisfied, as soon as they came in, he turned his head and said to the palace: "Let's have dinner."
Mingda rushed forward and took out the box Bai Erlang gave her, "Father, look."
"What is this?" The emperor lost his voice when he saw the opal in the box. He naturally recognized this kind of thing. There was one in his private treasury, which was given to the queen in the early years, but the queen didn't like these things. Plan to give Mingda a dowry.
It's just that that one is not as good as this one. The emperor stretched out his hand and took out the opal to look at the sun, and asked with a smile, "Was it given to you by Bai Er?"
Mingda nodded with a smile, and said a little shyly, "Father, does it look good?"
The emperor smiled and nodded, "It looks good, let the people from Shangyi Bureau take a look and make you a crown to wear."
When the princes heard this, they raised their heads and glanced at Ming Da. Is this going to confer the title of Prince Ming Da
Even Mingda was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help turning to look at his mother.
The queen smiled and said to her, "Why don't you thank your father soon?"
Only then did Ming Da show off his face and smile, bowing and thanking his father.
The emperor laughed heartily, and the eagle slave sitting in his arms saw his beard curling up and down, couldn't help stretching out his hand quickly...
The emperor suddenly said "Ouch", and quickly lowered his head to prevent him from tearing his beard off.
Gu Zhong was shocked, and hurried forward to help, the queen smiled and grabbed Ying Nu's little hand, coaxing him to let go of his beard, the prince carried the child over, the emperor couldn't hold back and patted his butt lightly , "My beard was pulled by your aunt Mingda..."
Mingda frowned, and shouted, "Royal Father, it all happened when I was a child."
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it."
The title of the princess is also high and low, just like the emperor's son, although they are all princes, there is also the difference between the county king and the prince.
Generally, the son will be named the county king at the beginning, and then he will be named the prince after he has made meritorious service or the next emperor ascends the throne.
Only in this way can one be sealed, otherwise, when the next emperor ascends the throne, the number can only be stacked up, and there is no rank to be sealed, so how can he buy people's hearts
The same goes for the princess.
Several of the emperor's daughters were married as county princesses, from the first rank, the same level as the noble concubine.
There are only two exceptions at present, one is Prince Gong, he was granted the title of prince from the beginning, so not only the land is good, not to mention the proximity to the capital, but also rich; but now he has been demoted to the county king.
Now, according to the emperor, Mingda will be the second exception.
However, the crown prince had a lot of opinions on Prince Gong's conferment as a prince, but not on Ming Da, and said to the emperor: "Let's wait until the filial piety is completed, and then we can arrange a celebration in the palace."
The emperor nodded after thinking about it, "That's right, this is a great joy, and there must be a celebration."
Changyu was envious, and then quarreled with Mingda in private: "You have to treat me to something delicious to celebrate."
Ming Da said: "We are still observing filial piety. Although we don't really require abstaining from meat and fish, it is not too extravagant. I will invite you after filial piety."
"No, it's been too long, what if I forget?" Chang Yu said: "Otherwise, you invite me out of the palace? I don't have fun, I don't eat or drink too much, so I will go to Zhou Man's house to have a look." What do you think?"
Mingda pursed his lips and smiled: "You still want to see what Zhou Man brought back, don't you?"
Changyu pouted and said, "You've got the opal, but I don't even know what she brought back."
Mingda thought for a while and said: "I can ask my father for an order. On the sixth day of the lunar new year, I will go to the Huguo Temple to pay homage to the Buddha, pray for the emperor's grandmother, and I can go to Zhou's house on the way."
Changyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately hugged her arm and said, "Mingda, you are so kind."
Mingda couldn't help laughing.
Prince Gong was in a bit of a depressed mood. He came back to spend the New Year with his parents, and he would return to the fief after the Lantern Festival. He is now crippled, and the crown prince gave birth to a son. He has basically given up the idea of fighting for the position, so now What I want is to enter the throne.
He didn't think that the prince's ascension to the throne would make him a prince, so this matter had to be settled while his father was on the throne.
Unexpectedly, before he had time to speak, his father promised Ming Da the position of a prince and princess.
Prince Gong didn't know how to speak, feeling depressed.
The queen had a panoramic view of the expressions of the children, sighed slightly, and afterwards pulled Princess Gong and told her, "I see that Prince Gong has lost his appetite these two days, please ask someone to make some meat soup for him and eat some with noodles. , if staying in the palace is boring, you can go out for a walk."
The more you walk, the more you will see, and the more you will broaden your mind.
Princess Gong responded in a low voice.
At this time, Man Bao and the others walked from the palace to the intersection, Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at Liu Huan sympathetically and said, "You should go home quickly, and talk to Master Liu, if..."
Bai Shan couldn't bear it and said: "If you are beaten, you can ask Zhiyu to come to us quietly, and we will come to our house immediately with gifts to pay New Year's greetings."
Yin Yu said: "Come and find me, my house is closer, and it will only be a quarter of an hour before I send someone to find you."
Liu Huan couldn't help crying, "Why?"
Why did the emperor hurt him so much
