Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Seven: Entering the Palace to Pay a Birthday Blessing
[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!
Obviously, the Duke of Wei's final idea was to hit the empress dowager. If he could please the empress dowager, the empress dowager might make an exception for the second wife, that is, the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, and give her a beautiful woman. up.
In Daming, among the conferred wives, first-rank and second-rank wives, this is the common so-called imperial wives. The third rank is Shuren, the fourth rank is Gongren, and after that, it is Yiren, Anren, Ruren and so on.
If the second wife of the Xu family is a lady of the third rank, but in this era where men are superior to women, how can the imperial court allow the second son of the Xu family, a hereditary commander of the fourth rank, to have his wife be a third-rank gentleman?
In the end, it is very likely that in order to avoid such situations, the second son of the Xu family was promoted exceptionally.
This is tantamount to seizing a loophole in the court and trying to play a trick.
But among them, there is an urgent arrangement for the afterlife of a dying old man!
Such painstaking efforts have to be said to be touching.
Yu Daochun sighed and said, "Worldly people can't see through many things."
Liu Tianzheng said with a wry smile: "Even people from other places may not be able to see through the affairs of the world and cut off thousands of emotions."
"That makes sense." Yu Daochun smiled: "Come, come, let me read you a scripture."
Liu Tianzheng smiled, with a hint of a joke: "Master Uncle, Xiaodao has just arrived, and the journey has been exhausting. I thought there would be a dust-cleaning banquet, but who would have thought that we would only treat each other with scriptures?"
"You'll know it after you've read it." Yu Daochun's face was full of red, with a bit of joy in his eyes, and he went to fetch the scriptures himself.
This book is exactly the "Tao De Zhen Jing Ji Yi".
Liu Tianzheng smiled, and thought to himself, this must be the scripture annotation that Master Uncle personally cultivated, no wonder he couldn't wait to see it for himself.
Liu Tianzheng took the scriptures, and then began to read them. Just after reading the beginning, his face changed, so he continued to read intently, the expression of surprise on his face was beyond words.
If you observe carefully, you can even find that his old face has a look of shame.
Although the two people have different generations, they have cultivated for about the same time, even their ages are similar. Yu Daochun is a Daoist Puji, and he has also been granted the title of Daoist Daoist, but they are also Daoist people. It's excellent, it's really... rare, it's hard to come out even in three hundred years.
When you see it, the sage's human body is up to you, and you don't work hard with your heart, and you don't have a way to respond to things, so all things work together, responding to feelings, like valleys responding, both good and evil go, and you have nothing to say, so it is said that all things work together When he said the words "not saying goodbye", Liu Tianzheng couldn't help but shuddered all over, feeling a sense of enlightenment.
He raised his eyes subconsciously, and looked at Yu Daochun in horror: "Master Uncle's study of Confucian classics has made rapid progress, to such an appalling level!"
Yu Daochun couldn't help showing a wry smile, and said: "Even if I study the scriptures for another thirty years, I'm afraid I may not have this understanding."
Liu Tianzheng was stunned, his jaw seemed to drop in shock.
Apart from Master Puji, who else in the North has such attainments?
He became short of breath, and said in disbelief, "Don't be joking."
Yu Daochun said solemnly: "Aren't you kidding, this person is my younger brother with a strange bone, and he is a mortal under the Taoist star. My teacher fell in love with him, so he taught me all the Taoism. It's a pity that he is not here today. Therefore, otherwise, you must see it with your own eyes.”
"Uncle Grand Master..." Liu Tianzheng was so surprised that he couldn't speak, his face was full of astonishment, and he looked at Yu Daochun in shock...

Early the next morning, the sky was still dim, and the Fang family was already busy.
Fang Jifan wore a unicorn suit, a gold belt, and a royal sword. Although he looked coquettish, he didn't look out of harmony. If it wasn't because this guy had a bad reputation, he might be a handsome young man!
He was about to go out, but he saw that there was still a candle burning in the study at this early morning.
So he looked left and right, saw Deng Jian following, and asked, "Is there someone in the study? These bastards, Tang Yin, don't know how to save some candles at night?"
Deng Jian said cautiously: "Young master, it's the master. The master didn't sleep all night yesterday. He was in the study. I'm afraid he has something on his mind."
Hey... What a sentimental father.
Why can't you think about it so much?
Fang Jifan shook his head in his heart, his father is too emotional, obviously you are a big bastard who crawled out of the dead in the killing field, okay, do you want to do this?
"Why don't you, young master, go and have a look?" Deng Jian looked at Fang Jifan carefully.
Recently, the young master's temper has become even worse. He beat and kicked him at every turn. The old injury has not healed, and he is still limping.
Fang Jifan shook his head, with a cold face: "Go, enter the palace, birthday celebration is important."
The Empress Dowager's birthday is a top priority.
The Ming Dynasty followed the Han system and ruled the world with filial piety. Now the empress dowager is over 70, and the current emperor's mother died early. Only this grandmother has become the object of his filial piety.
Hundreds of officials, civil and military, had already made their appearances a few days ago, and countless Hanlin scrambled to offer their congratulatory speeches.
Although the wives are allowed to enter the palace at noon to pay respects to their birthdays, in fact, since Mao, they have no time to eat tea to fill their stomachs. They have been busy for a long time, bathing and changing clothes. , maybe even the empress dowager couldn't get close, more people could only pay respects from a distance, and then stood a hundred meters away, but
The etiquette for entering the palace, as well as every sentence, every word, have already been prepared for several months.
This birthday banquet is like a big drama, everyone has their own roles, but even the most inconspicuous actors need to hone for a long time before they can show their youth in that moment on the stage.
The mansion of Duke Wei's mansion in Beijing is also busy.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Mu, urged her again and again, acting like the head of the family and urging the servants to prepare, for fear of any mistakes.
She has a violent temper, and when the servants saw her, none of them was afraid, and no one dared to make mistakes.
She is the wife of Duke Wei's son, so she was named a third-rank Shuren early on. At this time, she was already wearing a golden embroidered cloud and peacock pattern cloak, and a bright red robe and skirt, showing her grace. After looking around, she couldn't help but ask.
"Siblings are still dressing up? When is this? Waiting for the big day, are you still dawdling? Are there no rules at all?"
The girl who was questioned was so frightened that she didn't dare to vent her anger, and replied: "Second Madam..."
"Okay, let her go, she doesn't matter anyway." Sitting upright, Mu sipped her tea.
Coincidentally, Fang Shi came in wearing a fine attire, stepped forward in small steps, and bowed to Mu Qi.
"Sister-in-law..."
"You came well." Mu Shi just nodded lightly, and said: "After a stick of incense, it's time to enter the palace. There is no one waiting in the palace."
As she said that, she said to the girl beside her: "Go and ask if Daoist Hongfa is ready. You can't miss it. There is also a birthday gift. Then ask someone to look at it and compare it with the list of gifts one by one."
The girl bowed and said goodbye.
Mu's eyes fell on Fang's body again.
"After entering the palace, you follow me obediently. The rules in the palace are complicated. Whatever I do, you do. Don't be like your nephew. There are no rules. Originally, when we entered the palace this time, our Xu family You can still show your face, but I have heard some rumors. Your nephew is so bold that he actually helped someone to fight against the Zhou family. Old man, even if there are a lot of adults, what do you think?"
Fang Shi was scolded, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she hesitated for a long time and said: "The child is not sensible, why should my sister-in-law care about it."
Mrs. Mu smiled, but with a hint of mockery, she said: "I heard that you have been to Fang's house twice, even though you have entered the capital, it's better to go home and have a look, if you can, you should visit less in the future. Our Xu family can't afford it. The old man invited Daoist Hongfa to the palace to give lectures and celebrate the empress dowager's birthday. Don't you understand? You are still entangled with the Fang family. Are you sincerely embarrassing the Xu family? Daoist Hongfa is a person who has attained the Tao. Our Xu family finally invited him. Ordinary people invite him, even if they lift a sedan chair, they may not be able to invite him... Well, that’s all, think about it in your own heart. .”
Fang Ruyi saluted with a low eyebrow, "Yes."
Mu Qi stopped looking at Fang Ruyi and drank tea with her head down.

Zhu Houzhao entered the palace early in the morning, and first went to Kunning Palace to greet his mother.
At this time, even Empress Zhang and Princess Taikang Zhu Xiurong were already dressed in splendid attire. Empress Zhang corrected Zhu Xiurong's birthday words over and over again: "When it comes to great-grandmother Wan'an, the voice should be raised, you It's a daughter's house. Don't learn from your royal brother. To your royal brother, the empress dowager has a heart like a mirror, knowing that he is naughty. You are different. You are a princess. You have to behave like a ceremonial, and you have to be more educated and reasonable than those wives outside. Come on , try again."
Zhu Houzhao was listening, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. Who is he offending, and what the queen mother said was scolding him incidentally.
Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to refute. After seeing his mother, he didn't have time to pay attention to himself, so he obediently stood aside.
I saw Zhu Xiurong gently stepping forward three steps on the lotus feet, according to Queen Zhang's instruction, slightly bowed his head, showing respect, waited for three steps, and then stopped, with his delicate body slightly lowered, at this time the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he only looked up. Mou glanced straight ahead, followed the rules, closed his eyelids, bowed his body gracefully, and lowered his voice first: "Sunchen Zhu Xiurong, I pay my respects to my great-grandmother..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Lip paused slightly, and her voice became higher and higher: "Great-grandmother Jin An, longevity and blessings..."
Empress Zhang breathed out: "Okay, it looks a little better, but it's still a breath away..."
Zhu Houzhao stared straight at him, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister salutes like this, it really looks like she's going to fall ill at any time."
Zhu Xiurong was a little embarrassed by Zhu Houzhao's words, her pretty face flushed slightly.
Empress Zhang gnashed her teeth angrily: "Go, don't come here to mess around."
"Oh, the minister is gone, my son is waiting for Fang Jifan to enter the palace." Zhu Houzhao was about to run away.
When Zhu Xiurong heard Zhu Houzhao mentioning Fang Jifan, he thought of what Zhu Houzhao said that night that was unclear, and suddenly his eyebrows twitched, his eyelashes trembled, and his eyes were slightly red.
Zhu Houzhao took a look, and quickly said: "Sister, what's wrong with you, who provoked you?"
Only then did Empress Zhang look back, seeing Zhu Xiurong's silent and aggrieved expression, she couldn't help saying: "What's wrong? Who bullied you, and you were fine before."
Zhu Xiurong bit her lip and remained silent.
This made Empress Zhang to be cautious: "You told the empress that you have grievances, and you must not keep it in your heart. Who is it?"
Zhu Xiurong turned his head and said softly, "Brother."
