Chapter 58 Daddy is getting promoted
When the time came, the empress notified the female relatives who were playing everywhere to go to Minghe Hall.
The emperor's concubines also participated.
Yun Hongxiao did not have many concubines, three concubines, four concubines, and only a few beauties and nobles.
The empress led a group of ladies to Minghe Hall.
Everything needed for the banquet was ready.
This was arranged by her long ago, and Minghua, the head of her palace, was in charge. The eunuch Yuan,
the chief steward beside the emperor, was in charge.
The ladies of each family entered the hall first and found their respective seats and sat down.
The empress went to find the emperor. She wanted to attend with the emperor. This was customary.
Feng Tianxing was asked to learn painting for most of an hour.
In her previous life, she really didn't know this. Only those talisman masters learned painting.
Yun Ranqing brought Feng Tianxing to Minghe Hall and found Feng Zuwen, but he did not leave and followed him.
Only his mother and eldest brother were required to attend the ceremony with the emperor. It did not matter whether he went or not.
Feng Zuwen felt very uncomfortable when he saw the fourth prince who was as sticky as taffy, but he had to accept it.
Song Shuqing felt it was nothing, she felt more sympathetic to the child.
In the center of the hall, singing and dancing were adding to the fun.
"The emperor is here, the empress dowager, the queen, the noble concubine, the eldest prince, and the second prince are here." As the eunuch shouted, several of the most noble people in the palace came out together.
All knelt and kowtowed.
"Stand up."
Yun Hongxiao looked very happy.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Moon Worship Festival.
When the autumn grain is harvested, people hold a celebration to thank the gods for their protection.
"Today is a festival, and I have good news for everyone. This year, the autumn grain storage statistics of several prefectures around the capital have increased by half a percent compared to last year. Our people have worked hard."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Wu Manjiang spoke first.
Wu Manjiang is over 60 years old, but his back is straight and he is in good spirits.
Feng Tianxing saw so many people for the first time, and her eyes turned around.
When she saw the empress dowager, she was stunned.
Fifteen!
[The empress dowager only has fifteen days to live? ]
Thinking back, it seems to be the case. She
must have a sudden illness.
But she didn't care what the illness was.
This empress dowager was not Yun Hongxiao's biological mother, but the mother of a princess. The Queen Mother
is not the First Empress, but the Empress Dowager.
She is only ten years older than the Emperor, and is only forty-six now.
She gave birth to a princess named Yun Zhirou, who is the fifth princess of the previous emperor.
Feng Zuwen and Song Shuqing were shocked when they heard this.
Can a concubine decide life and death?
The couple did not realize this. This is the first time they heard a concubine say such a thing.
This is not easy to deal with.
Both of them looked at the concubine, but Feng Tianxing only paid attention to the excitement and did not pay attention to the parents around her.
Feng Zuwen and his wife looked at each other. What should they do?
Yun Hongxiao continued: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's celebrate together. When the moon is at its highest point in the sky, we will all go outside the palace to worship together."
"The palace banquet begins." The chief steward, Eunuch Yuan, shouted.
The palace people began to act.
The food and wine began to be served.
The singing and dancing continued.
The seats were arranged according to the family.
Eating was actually secondary, the main thing was to communicate with each other.
Yun Hongxiao was not high and mighty, and he was often close to the ministers.
The wives of the nobles who sat in the upper seats could also come down and chat with the ministers' families.
This kind of gathering was very close to the people, just to celebrate the festival.
But after all, it was in the palace, and the hall was not noisy.
"Marquis Wu'an, is your injury healed?" Yun Hongxiao actually asked Feng Zuwen first.
"It's no longer serious, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Feng Zuwen immediately stood up and replied.
"Yes, you have made an indelible contribution to the recovery of the stolen offerings."
"It is my duty, and I do not deserve such praise from the Emperor."
"I will give you three months' leave, and there are only a few days left. When do you plan to take up your post?"
"Your Majesty, I want to spend more time with my daughter who I just found. Can you allow me to take a few more days off?" Feng Zuwen saw that the Emperor was in high spirits today and wanted to ask for a few more days off. He had just mastered the martial arts that the daughter had given him.
"Feng Zuwen, you are so good, you actually want to be lazy."
"Well, Your Majesty, my daughter has suffered too much outside. As a father, I want to spend more time with her to make up for the three years of absence. Isn't it too much?" Feng Zuwen was really brave. Feng
Tianxing looked at his father with stars in his eyes.
In her previous life, she started watching over this family from heaven when she was born in this body. She really didn't know how her father and the emperor got along in the past.
Were they still buddies?
"Forget it, let's wait until the vacation is over. Don't think about it anymore. The commander of the Imperial Guard proposed to retire some time ago, saying that he was old. Are you capable of doing it?"
Wow, dad is going to be promoted?
It's okay to say this in front of so many people?
But what I saw in my previous life didn't happen.
Feng Tianxing was very surprised. Could it be that so many things have changed because of her arrival?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Feng Zuwen was not polite.
Everyone present was envious.
Feng Zuwen certainly wouldn't be polite. The more power he had in the army, the more things he could do in the future.
The concubine said that the second prince was not a good person, so he wanted to prevent him from ascending the throne.
The Imperial Guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the entire imperial city, which is equivalent to the emperor entrusting his own safety to them.
There are only 10,000 Imperial Guards in total. They are divided into four camps, and Feng Zuwen is in charge of one of them. Now he is asked to take charge of all of them, which is a much greater responsibility.
Of course, there are also Imperial Guards outside the city, but they are standing troops, and they go wherever they are needed.
"Well, everyone have fun, and there is no need to be restrained today." Yun Hongxiao was very satisfied to see Feng Zuwen accept it generously.
He knew Feng Zuwen's character very well, and it was perfect for him to be given that position.
Then many people came to toast Feng Zuwen, especially some military generals, his colleagues, etc.
There were also several generals present today, and they had to come and toast.
Yun Ransheng was filled with resentment after hearing the emperor's decision. He had wanted his uncle to find a way to get the position to someone he liked.
But his father acted so quickly. In front of so many people, no one could object.
In addition, Feng Zuwen had indeed made contributions not long ago, and he was originally serving in the Imperial Guard.
Feng Zuwu, who was also present, took a few deep breaths before suppressing his anger.
Feng Yuanhao saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was getting more and more intense, so he turned in his wheelchair to find familiar people to chat and drink.
Slowly, he approached the table of Jingzhao Yinan, the prefect of Jingzhao.
He came alone without his family.
This table was filled with officials who came alone without their families.
"Uncle Yuan, I offer you a toast. I really admired Miss Yuan's poems at the poetry party that day. You can see that you are very talented. I plan to give up martial arts and pursue literature. I would like to ask Uncle Yuan for more advice."
Feng Yuanhao said everything he wanted to say in one breath, as if he was afraid that people would not listen to him.
"You are a good boy. Come to my house when you are free. I like boys who love literature the most. Qiaolan told me about this when she came back that day. Learning requires taking the best of all schools to make further progress." Yuan Yinan admired young people like Feng Yuanhao very much. People who have experienced setbacks know how to make progress.
"Thank you, Uncle Yuan. Then I will come to bother you often." Feng Yuanhao was very happy.
More than a month has passed since the poetry party. He can't find any reason to contact Yuan Yinan. Today is the best opportunity, and he will certainly not let it go.
The whole palace was filled with the clinking of cups and chips.
A young eunuch hurried to find the chief eunuch Yuan.
When Yuan heard the report, he was shocked.
