Chapter 112
To be honest, since Ming Tan moved to the princess mansion, although he is not as busy as someone rushing to serve him in the palace, he is better at being clean and secret, he can do things freely, and he can be more casual when meeting the subordinates of Jingzhong Industry. They reported the profitability of the store during this period, or arranged new marketing strategies and KPIs, which was much more convenient than when they were in Kunning Palace.
And by the way, the freedom of love has been realized, and the needle will not be poked.
After waking up, Mingtan was refreshed, and just leaning on the head of the bed and stretching her waist, she saw Mallow coming in from the outside, and said to her in a warm voice: "Your Highness, Wan'an, Miss Lin is coming The living room is waiting for you to have breakfast together."
Mallow was originally a maid of honor in Kunning Palace, but because she had served Mingtan for many years, she was considerate and considerate, and knew her habits and preferences best, so the queen waved her generously, let her out of the palace, and followed Mingtan to the princess. In the mansion, she became the servant girl in charge of the mansion who has the right to speak.
"Well, I know. Shurong got up in less than [-] hours."
Ming Tan yawned, and was firmly supported off the couch by Mallow, and complained unhappily: "She wakes up so early every time, it seems that I am very lazy..."
Mallow suppressed a smile, and while helping the princess to dress and wash, she persuaded the princess: "Miss Lin gets up early to practice martial arts and calligraphy, and does business. If your highness wants to, why don't you come with her? It can also improve your health." body--"
"Good mallow, stop and stop!" Ming Tan quickly interrupted her, shook his head like a rattle, and said sincerely without any shame, "I can't get up, I'm just lazy."
Mallow: "..."
About half an hour later, after dressing up in the room, Ming Tan wore a sky-blue round-neck men's suit and a smoky blue horse-face skirt, and walked to the front hall like a butterfly, and went straight to his seat. Lin Shurong, who was reading at the table, stood in front of the person and asked with a smile, "Look, Qingqing! Do I look good?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shurong was finally willing to move his eyes away from the scroll, looked up and down Mingtan's new clothes, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Could it be, it's Your Highness the Third Princess..."
"Yes!" Ming Tan twirled around, showing her the pattern of epiphyllum flowers embroidered on the corner of the skirt, "It's my birthday gift from Sister Zhao Zhao!"
Ming Tanyue had just passed her birthday, and it happened that the envoy of Qiang Mi came to pay tribute. Ming Zhao, who was far away in the grassland, took advantage of the opportunity to let him bring this set of clothes tailored by herself into the palace, and presented it to Ming as a birthday gift. Tan, by the way, I would like to congratulate Jiuhuangmei on her housewarming.
After the marriage of the three princesses, not only did they join hands with Atusa, the prince of Qiangmi, and sing in harmony, even Gerkuhan Dachanyu admired this daughter-in-law very much. He was very satisfied and returned it to the emperor every year. A lot of congratulatory documents were handed over, among which Mingzhao was praised as having heaven and earth, and he really wanted to go to Beijing to pay a visit immediately, and thank Emperor Tiancheng in person.
Ming Tan had met Atusa before, so he had confidence in the prince's character, but he was always afraid that Ming Zhao would be bullied by others in the grassland.Fortunately, after seeing his daughter's worries, the emperor deliberately read those few scriptures to her, which finally relieved Mingtan a lot.
Gerkuhan's great chanyu mastered the grasslands, and his reputation is illustrious.If he is willing to support Ming Zhao, who else would dare to be rude to His Royal Highness the Third Princess of Tiancheng?
Moreover, in those excerpts, Gerkuhan also vaguely revealed that he was old and wanted to pass on the position of Chanyu to his son-by then, when Atusa inherited his father's mantle, Ming Zhao would She is the Yan family of the Qiangmi family, the most honorable woman on the grassland, what grievances can she suffer?
What's more, Atusa is a dignified prince, after so many years, he didn't even accept a concubine in his tent, and he never attended those gatherings of singing and dancing, and only Mingzhao was by his side; The posture engraved on his face, the reputation of being clean and self-sufficient has been passed down to Tiancheng, and even if it can make Mingtan look up to him, he finally truly recognizes sister Zhaozhao's husband.
Apart from personal feelings, from a political perspective, the attitudes of Gerkuhan Dachanyu and Atusa are also showing their innocence and loyalty to Tian Chengchao, as well as their willingness to continue to cooperate— ——This is obviously because the strategy of opening up mutual markets in the border areas has given Qiang Mi a taste of the sweetness of business exchanges, and he is willing to restrain his edge and blood—if he can get the fine grains and sweets from the Central Plains without spending a lot of money Tea, soft cloth and silk, gold, silver and jade wares, as well as many exquisite and versatile instruments, what ambitions do they have?
Gerkuhan is a smart man who knows how to calculate costs and benefits.Since both parties are interested in this situation, the grassland only needs to pay some beef, goats, melons and fruits that they vomit quickly, or animal skins that are thrown on the ground and no one picks them up. The world is much better than before, so why bother to break the current peace and stability?
No one likes to go to war.Including the grasslands, including the Central Plains, and also including the emperor of Tiancheng.
In addition, Qiangmi is not a country with no news, and the prosperous scene of Tiancheng Capital has been brought back by envoys many times, including the tax system and tax laws and trade regulations reformed by Mingtan, all of which made Gerkuhan look at him with admiration, and he was very impressed. The idea of getting a share of the pie was soon born.
A qualified king should think about his own people and never let go of any opportunity to make Qiang Mi rich.
——If the measures of Princess Yonghui can be continued and expanded, the thriving business will eventually spread to the frontier.At that time, Qiang Mi will be able to buy more and better things than now!
At the same time, he also quickly recalled: Ming Zhao got married in the past, and the ostentation was very grand. Among them, there were two most generous dowries, which were from Princess Yonghui...
After Gerkuhan noticed this, he had to admit that his son was really lucky to marry a good wife.
If they respect Mingzhao enough, they will not only let Emperor Tiancheng see Qiang Mi's attitude, but also satisfy Princess Yonghui, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
What's more, the third princess is not only gentle and kind, but she also had a pair of skillful hands because she was not favored in her early years. They also hit it off very well, she is the water-like soft Central Plains woman who echoes their traditional ideas!
Gerkuhan has praised Atusa more than once.
As expected of my son, why is his vision so good!
Refusing to accept a concubine, just want to spend a lifetime with the third princess?OK!What's wrong?The father is very open-minded and firmly supports his son in pursuing true love!
Therefore, under the dual effects of politics and emotion, the current happy situation has been created.
"...On my birthday, when this set of clothes was sent to the mansion, it was accompanied by a letter from Sister Zhaozhao: She said that she had a good life in Qiangmi, and she might come to Tianchengyi with Atusa this year. Let’s go, discuss the frontier tax system, and then you must have a good talk with me.”
Ming Tan narrowed his eyes with a smile, stroked the fine embroidery pattern on the skirt, and gestured to Lin Shurong enthusiastically: "At that time, I will invite a troupe to the Princess Mansion together with Ah Min, and we will perform her "Joking about Mountains and Seas" "! Let's set up another card table and play leaf games all night. Whoever loses will..." She rolled her eyes and clapped her hands. Ten sheets—my youth is back!"
Lin Shurong: "..."
When she first saw His Highness's excited appearance, she still felt a little bit like a snack.But now after listening to the other party's plan...
Miss Lin sighed speechlessly.I only hope that the three princesses will not regret coming back when the time comes.
……
Ming Tan deliberately changed into new clothes today, not just to show Lin Shurong's appreciation, but also for a more important purpose, which is to enter the palace to participate in the Zhuohua Spring Banquet.
The Zhuohua banquet began in the previous dynasty. In order to respond to the "Taoyao" in the Book of Songs, taking its meaning of "caused by the concubine", the Emperor Wen of the former dynasty specially held such an imperial family banquet in spring, which lasted for a hundred years. It is intended to praise "concubines cultivate their internal transformation, help gentlemen, make the world polite, and marry at the right time*", and invite concubines, princes and princesses from all palaces to attend, and enjoy peach blossoms and lunch with the emperor. It's not a small banquet.
However, this spring banquet has no traditional significance after all, and the emperor is not very interested in the scene of three thousand beauties competing for beauty, so at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he temporarily suspended the banquet under the name of "too extravagant", and let the whole palace wait. Seeing the concubines who were shining brilliantly in the peach blossom grove, they had no choice but to die down with hatred.
"So, Your Majesty now...why do you want to reopen the Burning Flower Banquet?"
Although it was a family banquet, but because most of the guests were female, Lin Shurong could join Ming Tan in attending.On the carriage to the palace, she finally couldn't hold back, and turned to ask Ming Tan, but she got a helpless sigh from the other party.
"You may not believe it," Ming Tan looked strange, raised his hand as if a little embarrassed, covered his face, and explained to her with his head tilted, "Father Emperor decided to hold another Burning Flower Banquet because, because ..." She stammered for a long time, as if she was very embarrassed to speak, and then held back a sentence, "Because after I moved to the princess mansion, I only entered the palace to pay my respects on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year..."
Although Ming Tan hadn't finished speaking, Lin Shurong had already reacted, and couldn't help but smile and bend his eyes, and said slightly jokingly: "That's why your majesty and empress miss you, that's why they specially re-organized the Burning Flower Banquet, and wanted to keep you alive." How long will you stay in the palace?"
"That's it," Ming Tan pouted, and responded with a voice like a gnat, "I'm too embarrassed to even mention them!"
But Lin Shurong didn't think it was embarrassing. Instead, he stroked Mingtan's hair and persuaded earnestly: "Poor parents in the world, your majesty and empress are also parents—since they all miss you, your highness should take care of you." Entering the palace, you have just fulfilled your filial piety."
"Yeah, I know."
Ming Tan nodded, although his face was still a little red, but the previous discomfort was gone.She sighed again, took advantage of the situation and rubbed the other's palm, slowly and quietly sighing in her heart.
——Fortunately, she has Lin Shurong, and she doesn't plan to get married in this life.Otherwise, how could it be so easy to return to the palace for a temporary stay?
What a foresight, foresight!
The author has something to say: I'm sorry that the last two or three days will be shorter!It's really busy, but it's almost over, everyone will forgive me! (star-eyed chirp)
* ""Taoyao" is caused by concubines. If you are not jealous, men and women will be righteous, and when you get married, there will be no widowers in the country." From "Preface to Poetry".
"The empress and concubine cultivated her internal transformation and sponsored the gentleman, so that the world was polite and the marriage was not lost, so it was called 'Zhi Ye'." Quoted from Kong Yingda.
"Mao Poetry Preface" believes that "Taoyao" is related to concubines and kings.However, modern scholars generally do not take the point of view of "Preface to Mao Poetry", but think that it is a poem congratulating a young girl on her marriage.
In order to find a reason (?) for the emperor and empress to see her daughter, this article fabricated the Burning Brilliance Banquet.Babes, still remember to take the views generally accepted by modern scholars~
