Chapter 223 The desire to survive is full
"It is still unknown whether the emperor will really keep Zhu Xuntao in the palace."
"Since it is not certain, then we are in trouble."
The end of the year, the palace banquet.
Regardless of Zhu Xuntao's merits, just based on his status, Zhu Xuntao is qualified to call the emperor uncle.
In this way, Zhu Xuntao will naturally not be able to hide from people like he was hidden in the Zhu Mansion by Madam Sun before.
At this palace banquet, even if the prince does not add fuel to the fire, the emperor will be able to see Zhu Xuntao,
and he will definitely call Zhu Xuntao to talk to him, giving Zhu Xuntao an extraordinary favor.
The Queen was finally convinced by the Prince:
"Have you made the thing called sunglasses?"
Hearing that Zhu Xuntao could actually see the aura of an emperor in the Prince, the Queen was amazed by Zhu Xuntao again and again.
She couldn't help but sigh, what kind of god is Zhu Xuntao, his functions are too complete.
Thinking of Zhu Xuntao marrying Xiao Jingzhan and becoming her niece-in-law, the Queen felt full of security.
And this sense of security was given to her by Zhu Xuntao, her niece-in-law.
"It seems to be almost done, and can be used together."
With the help of Zhu Xuntao, the craftsmen have already fired the colored glaze.
Facing the colorful colored glass, the prince couldn't help but admire Zhu Xuntao's extraordinary brain
. How did she put so many good things into her brain?
Even though he already knew that the world Zhu Xuntao originally lived in was still much more advanced than the Great Yong Dynasty.
But just because you often use something doesn't mean you can definitely make it.
Everyone has to wear clothes, so does that mean everyone can weave cloth?
The prince, who understood this, admired Zhu Xuntao so much,
and was even more fortunate that Zhu Xuntao could come to the Great Yong Dynasty to lend him a hand.
"Mother, my father liked the glass cup very much after seeing it."
"Actually, I have also prepared a set for you, mother. I hope the queen likes it."
As for the glass, the prince, like Zhu Xuntao, did not get any superficial fame, but he got all the actual benefits.
Zhu Xuntao got a share of the profits, but the prince actually held the real power.
The emperor gave the glass business to Minister Zhao.
But the sovereignty of all matters related to glass production was in the hands of the prince alone.
The prince had the final say on how much and what kind of goods Minister Zhao could get from the craftsmen.
As long as the prince was willing, he could even get involved in the business, and Minister Zhao could not object. Fortunately,
before Xiao Jingshen could not stand alone, the prince did not intend to break up with Minister Zhao.
Therefore, Minister Zhao only knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with him,
but he had no idea that the prince, who usually had a good relationship with him, was even more ruthless . He
had even decided on the candidate to replace him, and was just waiting for Xiao Jingshen and Zhu Xuntao to finish their studies.
"Really?"
The empress gladly accepted her son's gift.
She opened the brocade box handed over by the prince and was immediately attracted by the colorful glass in the box:
"It is indeed a masterpiece of nature. It is no wonder that the emperor liked it so much before and no one was willing to give it to him."
After all, it is the only set. Even if it is not used, it is good to put it aside.
But now the empress has a complete set herself, so why would she care about the emperor's.
The Great Yong Dynasty can produce it by itself, and the glass will only become ordinary from rare.
But now, Xihan Jing'er is still there, and with the support of the prince's filial piety, the queen is very happy:
"My son is thoughtful, and mother loves him very much."
"Order them to use all the colored glass, and don't let it gather dust in the storehouse."
"Yes, queen."
A palace maid took the colored glass set, and on the one hand, she was impressed by the luxury of the colored glass,
and on the other hand, she was happy that she had learned more today with the help of the queen
. Thirdly, the palace maids were even happier when they thought that such colored glass "came" from the hands of the prince.
The prince's position as the heir to the throne was stable, and so was the queen's position as the empress.
The power of the two masters in the palace was unbreakable, and they, the servants, had hope.
The Crown Prince and the Empress had already discussed it, and the people in the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion who had received the news had made it clear that Zhu Xuntao would be brought along to the palace banquet.
Zhu Xuntao twisted her stiff shoulders and neck:
"Entering the palace, and attending a palace banquet? Can I not go?"
"You... don't want to go?"
Xiao Jingzhan was surprised.
The people in the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion remembered that in the past, Madam Sun had been forcing Zhu Xuntao to hide her in order to prevent her from becoming more popular than Zhu Yingyan.
Now, Zhu Xuntao is the Crown Prince's Consort of their mansion.
Even if it is a palace banquet, as long as Zhu Xuntao wants to attend, she can do it as if she were attending a family banquet.
Whatever Madam Sun was unwilling to give Zhu Xuntao, they would double it.
With someone like Zhu Yingyan, she still wants Zhu Xuntao to be a stepping stone for her. What a fool is dreaming!
But Xiao Jingzhan was surprised to hear Zhu Xuntao take the initiative to say that she didn't want to go to the palace banquet.
Zhu Xuntao paused:
"If I say I don't want to go, will I be ignorant of what's good for me?"
Being able to enter the palace and attend the palace banquet is not about the meal, but about showing off one's extraordinary status.
Even Zhu Yingyan would brag to Zhu Xuntao about the luxury of the palace banquet every time after attending it.
But Zhu Xuntao didn't believe Zhu Yingyan at all. Those people who attended the palace banquet didn't dare to eat or drink
in order not to damage their image in front of the saint .
Moreover, the palace is so big that even if the dishes are steaming hot when the chef cooks them, they are not warm
at all when they are served .
It is hot in summer, so we are not afraid.
But it is winter now, and the snow is melting.
Are you sure that those soups will not freeze when they are served on the table?
Anyway, anyone who eats such dishes will have diarrhea, and even a strong stomach cannot stop it.
"Not really."
Thinking about the situation of the palace banquet, Xiao Jingzhan expressed his understanding of Zhu Xuntao's idea.
If there is less vanity and less purpose, then the palace banquet is indeed not a good place to go.
"However, you are the Crown Prince's Consort of the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, so you can call the Emperor your uncle."
"Even if you find an excuse not to go this time, you can't avoid it next time."
At this point, Xiao Jingzhan showed a bitter smile, thinking that Zhu Xuntao would mention Prince Yu again.
If Zhu Xuntao married Yu Bai, because of her status as a widow, Zhu Xuntao
would not be rude to refuse to attend the palace banquet, and she would also be called a tactful person.
Hearing Xiao Jingzhan's answer, Zhu Xuntao just sighed deeply:
"Ah..."
[Ah hey hey hey hey...]
In Zhu Xuntao's series of sighs, at least Prince Yu's name did not appear, which made Xiao Jingzhan's straight back relax.
Very good, with Prince Yu as his imaginary fake rival, Xiao Jingzhan kept his desire to survive full every second in front of Zhu Xuntao.
