178 Flounder
There is no queen in the current Shang Dynasty. Chu Yi's biological mother is the original Crown Princess of the current Shang Dynasty. She died of illness ten years ago. Since then, she has not reunited since then, and now she is in vain.
Since he ascended the throne, his ministers have written several letters to ask him to establish a new new title, but they have been refuted by him.
So everyone thought that this year's squat banquet was cancelled, but they never thought that Empress Dowager Yuan suddenly announced the girls to the palace in the afternoon. Immediately afterwards, the emperor also ordered people to go to various prefectures to pass oral orders, and summoned some of the right-age young men to the palace to attend the squat banquet.
Gu Yanfei, Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and the others chose the closest position to the musicians. After the musicians finished playing the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", the storyteller next to him began to shake his head and talk about the book as soon as he knocked on the awkward tree.
Gu Yanfei divided his heart into two halves, half listening to books, and the other half listening to Wei Jiaoniang's words: "This flounder banquet has been around for more than 40 years, and it is held every year. I thought this year would be an exception."
"In fact, this feast of stewed feast was originally held by Emperor Taizu to see the princesses."
"Taizu said that his princess is not afraid of not being able to get married, and she will not be more powerful than the prince-consort. Anyone who wants to come will come. It is called a blind date. Both men and women have to see each other first before they know whether the marriage will be completed."
"It is said that when Changning Princess Changning thought the feast was not lively enough, she called a group of peers to come together. Taizu also thought that it was very lively for everyone to go on a blind date like this, and this custom was preserved year by year."
Lu Qin peeled the pine nut and sighed: "Emperor Taizu has always had all kinds of wonderful ideas, he is such a strange person!"
The storyteller next to him is talking about a story about Taizu's anecdotes.
He started talking about the lotus when Emperor Taizu was young, saying that Taizu was naughty when he was young. At the age of sixteen, he fell down the valley and broke into a bloody head. After three days and three nights, he woke up and realized and became a new person.
Speaking of Taizu, he started as a small constable. In just three years, he became the head of the team and established some prestige in the town.
Speaking of the chaos in the world at that time, there was auspicious signs of the black dragon coming to the world above Taizu's house. Taizu then rose up...
Originally, these stories were familiar, but today, many people have more or less heard of the "real dragon vision" in the capital. Now, when listening to this anecdote, some people inevitably showed meaningful expressions.
There are also people who have never heard of it like Lu Qin who entered the palace early. When they saw Wei Jiaoniang's winking and eye-catching look, they happily put their little face over and asked them whispered: "What's wrong?"
Wei Jiaoniang held Lu Qin's shoulder, pulled her closer, and whispered to her ear.
Lu Qin's eyes widened wider and his pupils burst out with an unusually bright light, and he wrote his shock and curiosity nakedly on his face.
"What a dragon?" Lu Qin asked in a low voice.
"..." Wei Jiaoniang's eyes twitched for a moment, and she was too lazy to answer such a stupid question.
The storyteller next to him had already spoken that the black dragon was lingering above Emperor Taizu's head, and he kowtowed three times in a row, and then he let out three more times before he floated away;
Speaking of the people in the whole town saw the black dragon appearing and kneeling to the black dragons together, the scene was very spectacular;
Speaking of Emperor Taizu's pride and ambition...
Lu Qin naturally understood Wei Jiaoniang's contempt and was too lazy to pay attention to her. She ran to chat with other girls she knew and asked if they had heard that a real dragon appeared in the capital today.
With her help, there was a rustling rustling around in a short while.
This incident is really incredible. Some people believe it, some people believe it or not, and some people look at each other without comment.
There was a roar in the pleasure boat, and there were more and more discussions, until there were a burst of light steps outside the pleasure boat, with the sound of laughter like silver bells.
"This year's flounder banquet was held in this pleasure boat."
“It’s much more interesting than being in a palace.”
“That’s right.”
A dozen noble ladies of royal family surrounded the Changqing princess of Prince Jing's mansion, walked over and over again, one by one, browsing and laughing.
Some girls came forward to greet Changqing and others, some girls sat there smilingly nodded, and some were just talking to others, thinking that they didn't see it at all.
With the arrival of these noble ladies in the royal family, the scene became more and more lively. At first glance, there were young girls in their prime on both floors.
Changqing glanced around and his eyes fell on Gu Yunhao, who was smiling not far away, and smiled sweetly: "Yunhao."
Changqing quickly stepped over and pulled Gu Yun'an away from Yu Chaoyun and the others.
"I'm about to look for you." Changqing took Gu Yun's arm intimately and walked forward, smiling and biting her ears in a low voice, "Am I going to call you Auntie?"
Changqing was the legitimate daughter of King Jing. She has been a regular guest in the palace since she was a child. Therefore, she is well-informed. As soon as she entered the palace, she heard that the Empress Dowager planned to set the wedding date of King Kang and Gu Yunhao after this year.
King Kang and King Jing were the same generation. When Gu Yunhao became Princess Kang, Changqing became her junior.
Speaking of his wedding date with King Kang, Gu Yun's lips curled up slightly.
A glimmer of light happened to sprinkle on her beautiful face, outlining her soft and delicate outline, and a little golden light flowed in her pupils, making her charming and charming.
Gu Yunhao's expression was a bit tender and charming, but without shyness, and said generously: "Changqing, I am still me. You can call me whatever you used to."
Even if she married King Kang, she would not just rely on King Kang. She was Gu Yunhao first and his wife second.
Changqing liked Gu Yunhao's true temperament without any hesitation. He laughed and leaned into her ear and said, "I don't dare."
"Uncle Kang Wang... I can't afford to provoke him."
Anyone can see King Kang's feelings for Gu Yunhao.
Gu Yun'an smiled and pursed his lips. The dimples beside his lips became deeper, and his smile was lingering and sweet.
As soon as they sat down, they heard a squealing report from an eunuch guarding outside:
"The Emperor is here!"
"The Empress Dowager is here!"
"Your Highness the Great Prince is here!"
“…”
The emperor, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in side by side with Empress Dowager Yuan, followed by King Kang Chuyou, Prince Chu Yi, and several other princes and princesses. The team was huge. There was also a girl in pink who was about ten years old, sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed in by the palace servants.
She wore a pink butterfly dress with a flowery jacket, melon-shaped face, white skin, cherry mouth, and a cute double bun. She was thin and small.
Now the descendant is thin and has only one son and one daughter. This is the only princess in the palace today, named Anle.
Everyone stood up to salute, and while bowing, they all quietly looked at the eldest prince Chu Yi.
Chu Yi had just returned to Beijing for a few months and was living in seclusion. At least half of the people present had never seen him. There was curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes.
Someone looked back and forth at the eldest prince and King Kang, and measured it in his heart.
Thinking about today's "real dragon vision", this feast of stewed flock is obviously a bit unusual.
