Jinghe three years, three years can change a lot of things. For example, when he was born, he was weak like a kitten. As he got older, he gradually showed terrible destructive power. Acknowledging the reality and living a life of enjoyment with one heart, another example is the Dayan Dynasty, which was severely damaged in the last years of Jianyuan. For a time, the whole country cheered the emperor's wise and decisive, and some people even wrote a letter, praising Qin Yiwen for his martial arts, reviving the Yan Dynasty, and being a first-class figure comparable to the founding emperor.
Of course, whether these words are out of sincerity or flattery is a matter of opinion.
Because of the great victory at the border, the Dayan Dynasty finally came out of the suffocation that the emperor was captured alive at the end of the Jianyuan period. In the past three years, Chu Jinyao has successively released many palace maids out of the palace. Qin Yi has also vigorously cut down the redundant and miscellaneous officials of the court, and reused capable ministers to implement the new policy. Tingdu showed a high-spirited and enterprising momentum.
The ministers were in high spirits, so Qin Yi held a celebration banquet in the previous dynasty to commend the soldiers who had made meritorious deeds. Chu Jinyao also held a palace banquet in the harem to entertain the female relatives of the hero. All the above-mentioned Mrs. Gao Ming are invited.
This time it was originally for pleasure, but Chu Jinyao didn't want the people below to be too restrained, so he set the banquet venue next to the imperial garden. From the place of banquet is the Imperial Garden. The pavilions in the garden are served with tea. From time to time, palace people shuttle between them. It can be said that the consideration is very meticulous. Before the banquet, the family members of the close officials entered the palace early and came to speak with Chu Jinyao. Duan Yinghua happened to be bumped by the eldest prince when she entered the door. Duan Yinghua hurriedly supported the eldest prince.
"Eldest Prince, you have to run slowly."
"It's Mrs. Shizi here." Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian were sitting in the inner room, and when they heard the voice, Chu Jinyao didn't move, but Chu Jinxian stood up and greeted Duan Yinghua. When Chu Jinyao saw the child being carried in, she was so angry that she had a headache: "Qin Hongyan, you bumped into your aunt, why don't you apologize?"
How dare Duan Yinghua ask this ancestor to make amends? The eldest prince is the only child in the palace now, or the eldest son of the empress. If there is no problem, the question of establishing a prince will be discussed in a few years. How could Duan Yinghua dare to ask Qin Hongyan to apologize? Duan Yinghua hurriedly said: "What is the empress talking about? It is fortunate that the eldest prince did not fall. For someone as big as me, it will not be in the way if you bump into me. Eldest prince, you didn't get knocked down, did you?"
Because Qin Hongyan was born prematurely when he was a child, he was very weak at the beginning. Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi were very fond of him, so it was inevitable that he would be a little arrogant. Fortunately, this child's body is like Qin Yi. As he grew up, his body became better and better, and the level of turbulence was amazing. As long as he is in the palace for one day, Chu Jinyao will not stop here. The people in the palace followed him, and even the elders on both sides asked for anything from him. Qin Hongyan became more and more confident when he made a fool of himself. When Chu Jinyao saw that this was okay, he could only discipline him more and more carefully, just like now, Chu Jinyao looked at him sternly, and his mouth was full of indifference: "How did I teach you before, I collided. Elder, still don't apologize?"
When Qin Hongyan saw his mother's face sinking, he immediately calmed down, and honestly apologized to Duan Yinghua: "Auntie, I'm sorry."
Duan Yinghua hurriedly said, "It's alright, it's alright. The Queen's concubine is really strict with the prince. It's not a big deal. Why bother the eldest prince, don't scare him."
"He was frightened?" Chu Jinyao glanced at Qin Hongyan angrily, "Don't underestimate him, he has a ghost in his heart, who will follow him and who won't, he has a clear mind. In front of his father and emperor , you see if he dares to do this."
Chu Jinxian listened and smiled and said: "He was originally young, and he will go to school with Taifu in the future, and there will be more hard days in the future. We aunts and aunts don't spoil him, who can we count on in the future? First prince, run away in the future. Slow down, the people in the hall are older than you, it's nothing if you hit the adults, if you hit the vases, tables and other angular things, you will be injured, do you understand?"
Qin Hongyan nodded with his mouth closed: "I see, thank you auntie."
Qin Hongyan secretly looked at Chu Jinyao's face, and pitifully climbed up and pulled the corner of Chu Jinyao's clothes: "Mother, I was wrong, don't be angry."
Qin Hongyan was young, with fair skin and good looks, and now begging for forgiveness so pitifully, immediately melted the hearts of the women around him. Chu Jinyao's scolding just now meant a lot of teaching, and now seeing him like this, how can he get angry. She nodded lightly on Qin Hongyan's forehead and said helplessly, "You! We can all see what happened just now. Who are you planning to lie to you now?"
Qin Hongyan hugged Chu Jinyao's sleeve, raised her face and acted like a spoiled child, Chu Jinyao really had no choice but to hold him up. Children who are favored by their parents seem to be naturally spoiled, Qin Hongyan is obviously a master among them, and the female relatives around see this scene with envy and joyful laughter: "The eldest prince is smart and clever, this is to make the queen happy."
Seeing that Chu Jinyao was no longer angry, Qin Hongyan immediately turned cloudy again, and the expression on his face became alive. He rolled his eyes and put them on Chu Jinxian: "Auntie, where is Brother Lu?"
"What brother Lu, you want to be called cousin." Chu Jinyao was helpless, because several of them called "Brother Lu" and "Brother Lu" all day long. After a long time, the ghost even called "Brother Lu". Son" come. Zhao Lu was even older than him, so how could he be called by a nickname
Qin Hongyan doesn't care about this. Children of similar age always refuse to call each other "brother" or "sister". Qin Hongyan has been favored since childhood, and even more reluctant. Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian sisters have a very good relationship, and because of the accident in the western suburbs that year, Qin Yi was also very courteous to Chu Jinxian and the Zhao family. Brother Lu and Qin Hongyan were similar in age, so Qin Yi intended to let Brother Lu In the future, I will be Qin Hongyan's companion. This is of course a good thing for the adults on both sides, so the two children are getting closer and closer, almost playing together since childhood.
Seeing Qin Hongyan asking about her son, Chu Jinxian smiled softly and said, "He didn't sleep well yesterday. He was a little tired when he entered the palace. Now he is sleeping in the side hall. Go to the side hall and see, he should wake up."
Qin Hongyan said "hey", jumped off Chu Jinyao's knees, and ran outside. The palace maid and eunuch behind him was startled, and a large group of people rushed to catch up. Chu Jinyao kept looking at Qin Hongyan until he ran far away and could no longer see it, and then retracted his gaze.
Duan Yinghua said, "The eldest prince is really smart at running these few steps, and he will definitely be better at sports in the future. Our eldest sister is not as strong as the eldest prince."
Duan Yinghua gave birth to her first child the year before. Although she was a girl, she was also the first child of the Marquis of Changxing, and she was very favored by their elders. In particular, neither Chu Jinyao nor Chu Jinxian have daughters, they really love seeing such a sweet and soft little girl. Chu Jinxian comforted her and said: "How can a girl compare with a boy, and how old is the eldest sister, she is more than a year and two years younger than the two of them, so how can you compare them together. After a while, the eldest sister will be full. Run away, and you won't have time to trouble yourself."
When it comes to children, parents of any family have many worries, but even if they are worried, they are happy. Duan Yinghua smiled and said, "I borrow the aunt's good words. It's a pity that she can't be separated from people now, so it's hard to bring her into the palace, otherwise she can play with these two cousins. The last time she went back, she kept talking about looking for her brother. play."
Since the crisis of Chu Jinmiao that year passed, the relationship between Duan Yinghua and the second young master has improved a lot. Although it is not like glue, it is no problem for the two to be considerate and respectful to each other. It's not hard to guess what Duan Yinghua's thoughts are. Although the eldest sister is still young now, there are always too many things like childhood sweethearts. First, play with the two cousins. In the future, whether it is the eldest son of the Zhao family or the first prince, both A first-class son-in-law. Even if the marriage of the children is not completed, it is a good thing to have two elder brothers who will surely succeed in the future.
Since the spring of this year, Mrs. Chu's body has become more and more weak. She no longer has the appearance of a shrewd and powerful elder, but shows the fatigue of an old man. Old Madam Chu gradually lost her power and handed over the affairs of the mansion to Duan Yinghua.
Duan Yinghua was extremely strong, even stronger in her parents' family. After she got married, she was even more reluctant to admit defeat, because the family she married into was a descendant of the family, and now Duan Yinghua is one of the best in the capital. The Marquis of Changxing has taken the Second Young Master with him wherever he goes these years. The meaning of cultivating the transfer of power is very obvious. The Second Young Master is low-key and humble, and he is not at all domineering and publicized by the Queen's elder brother. His low-keyness has attracted praise from many people. There are rules to observe the etiquette outside, and Duan Yinghua grabs it in the mansion. Anyone who comes to the Marquis of Changxing mansion will be applauded.
The Zhao family was unhappy all these years, until the birth of the eldest sister, when she saw such a delicate and soft little girl, her heart was moved all of a sudden. I don't know if it is to make up for the regrets of the year, Zhao's special care for the eldest sister, almost doing it herself. Many people in the mansion speculated that the Zhao family was trying to make amends. Now that Chu Jinyao and Zhao family have separated, Zhao family has made many detours in his life, and now he can only transfer his full guilt to the eldest sister, as if this can make up for the mistakes of the year. The Zhao family focused on raising her granddaughter and did not interfere in the affairs of the house, so Duan Yinghua was able to free up her hands to manage the central feed.
Her family's family is thriving, and seeing that she is going uphill, Chu Jinyao can only feel relieved when she sees it. Chu Jinyao heard the sound of Qin Hongyan and Brother Lu playing outside the house, and she couldn't help but smile. Children have their own children and grandchildren, so let them worry about their own affairs.
"Empress Empress, Madam Fuguo brought all the young ladies to greet the Empress."
Chu Jinyao recovered and said with a smile, "Quickly please."
More and more people came to greet him. Chu Jinyao saw that the time was almost up, so he moved everyone to the banquet hall. After the news of Qin Yi's banquet came from the previous dynasty, Chu Jinyao also smiled slightly at the eyes of the audience, and said, "To celebrate the victory at the border gate today, this is a great blessing for the whole country to rejoice, so a banquet is held to celebrate the merits of this war. The ladies and ladies don't have to be restrained, let's have a banquet."
Chu Jinyao took the lead in raising the wine glass, and there was a rustling sound of toasting the glass. Chu Jinyao raised his head and drank the wine in the glass amid many chorus and salutations. After a glass of wine, the atmosphere became lively, and the guests and hosts enjoyed the banquet. After the palace banquet was over, Chu Jinyao took everyone to the stage to watch the play.
On the high platform, Chu Jinyao alone has the best angle of view, and those who can accompany her are all the much-anticipated celebrity favorites. Halfway through the stage, a palace servant hurried onto the stage and whispered something in Chu Jinyao's ear.
Chu Jinyao's brows furrowed invisibly.
