"Big Brother." As soon as Cao Jinxuan saw the Big Prince Cao Jinqi sitting in a wheelchair, she immediately jumped over to greet him.
Yu Yuanzheng saw that the eldest prince did not go to the banquet hall, but seemed to be waiting here quietly.
"Well. Sister Xuan, I have something to ask the eldest young lady. Would you please wait a moment?" The eldest prince spoke to the woman very gently, and his voice was very pleasant.
It's rare for someone who has been in a wheelchair for a long time to have such a good attitude.
The two girls stepped aside.
The two guards and eunuchs serving the eldest prince also retreated three feet away.
Yu Yuanzheng pushed the wheelchair to a pavilion nearby.
"Is Ziqi okay?" The eldest prince looked into the distance and asked the first question slowly.
"I don't know what he was like before. I've been married to the palace for only three days and it's been a month. In the past month, there hasn't been any change. He's been in a coma every day."
Yu Yuanzheng didn't know the eldest prince well, so of course she couldn't tell him the truth.
"The second prince is two years older than him. We have been playing together since childhood and have always been good friends. Two years ago, when the second prince passed away, he often came to see me. Half a year ago, when he passed away, the second prince never saw him again." The eldest prince talked about their past with a bit of sadness on his face.
"You are friends?"
"Yes."
"Who else is his friend?" For some reason, Yu Yuanzheng wanted to know Shangguan Ziqi's past.
She had been married into the palace for so many days, but she still hadn't fully understood Dajizi's past, nor did she know what he was like before.
Yu Chaoyang didn't dare to pay any attention to him. If she asked a few more questions, she would be suppressed and scolded by Yu Chaoyang, who thought she was a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
"Prince Jing, Cao Jinyu, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's family, Zhao Jinyu, the four of us have always been praised by the ladies in the boudoir as the four sons of the capital. But now Prince Xiao and Ziqi have become useless people." At the end, the eldest prince's face was full of desolation.
The darling of heaven fell to the dust. This gap is not something that everyone can face calmly. The eldest prince still has a good attitude. Some people cannot accept it and commit suicide.
"Oh, I didn't expect that my husband had such a title before. If it weren't for fate, I and he really wouldn't be husband and wife."
"This is fate. Take good care of him, maybe he will wake up one day. He is a kind and loyal man."
What he meant was that she should take good care of Shangguan Ziqi wholeheartedly now, and he would be responsible for her in the future.
Yu Yuanzheng had never really thought about this issue.
She didn't have that kind of feeling for him.
Now he is just her patient.
"Don't worry, I don't want to be a widow yet."
"Can you be a doctor?" The eldest prince suddenly changed the subject.
"Why do you ask?" Yu Yuanzheng asked vigilantly.
"Human body breathing is recorded in the palace history books. It was mentioned by Princess Rong about a hundred years ago, and she really saved a person with this method. But because it is too unbelievable, few doctors use it. In fact, it is very inelegant to save people, and it requires mouth-to-mouth breathing. But you used it today."
"It's like this.
I am not a doctor. I just figured it out on my own. Then not long ago, I used a method in Ning'an Marquis' Mansion, and Yue Sanzi drowned and stopped breathing.
I didn't expect that the person was saved.
I saw him drowning again because of playing around, so I had to use it again."
After hearing Yu Yuanzheng's words, the eldest prince laughed.
People say that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. It seems that Yue Sanjizi has not learned his lesson at all.
"How did the eldest prince get his face injured?" Yu Yuanzheng saw such a long scar on his face, which really affected his beauty. It was a pity that a piece of top-quality jade had a flaw.
"Two years ago, the emperor was assassinated by assassins sent by Canglan Country. The prince fell off a cliff and was injured while protecting the emperor." The eldest prince did not hide it and spoke of it generously. Most people knew this.
"Including your legs, which became disabled at that time?" Yu Yuanzheng asked, looking at his legs.
"Yes." The eldest prince said two words lightly and didn't want to talk more.
As a prince, and one who was injured for the emperor, there must have been many doctors treating him. But after two years, he is still in a wheelchair, which shows that it must be a chronic disease.
"Let's go, it's almost time." The eldest prince just wanted to know about Shangguan Ziqi's situation.
"Well, the eldest prince can come to the palace to visit her husband." Yu Yuanzheng pushed the eldest prince up and walked to the palace road to hand him over to his guards.
The scene of the two of them talking in the pavilion was seen by Yu Chaoyang who was far away.
She was also about to go to Taiming Palace when she saw the two of them talking alone in the pavilion.
How come Yu Yuanzheng is so familiar with the eldest prince and even talks to him alone?
Although Yue Yuying and Lingxuan Jun were waiting nearby, this was not against the rules.
She, a married woman, actually dared to meet a stranger in public, and the man was the eldest prince.
But she did not step forward, she just took note of it, flicked her handkerchief and left.
Yu Yuanzheng and her two sisters came to Taiming Palace together, and there were already many people there.
They are seated in family units.
Yu Yuanzheng found the seats of the prince and princess and sat down obediently next to the princess. Then sat the prince and his wife, and at the table next to them was the second old lady and her family.
If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Shu was from the royal palace, the Second Old Lady and her family would not have been qualified to enter the palace to attend the banquet, and Concubine Luo would not have come.
It was Yu Yuanzheng’s first time attending such a palace banquet. She was curious about everything and looked around.
I also asked the princess some questions.
The princess introduced them to her patiently.
When the voice of "The Emperor has arrived" was heard, the Emperor and the Empress walked into the hall with a group of concubines and princes. After they took their seats, the ministers and their families knelt down and bowed to them.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
After sitting down again, the emperor stood up and looked at everyone.
"I live in a prosperous era, on this Dragon Boat Festival, I specially hold this banquet to celebrate the festival with your family and enjoy the happiness of family.
The Dragon Boat Festival is an ancient custom with a long history. It is a festival to commemorate loyal and virtuous people and to pray for good health.
Here, I pay tribute to the memory of the ancestors, and hope that all of us, the ministers, can learn from this, care about the people, work diligently and love the people, and jointly build the foundation for the prosperity of our dynasty.
I wish that all people in the world, no matter where they are, can enjoy peace, health and happiness.
Come, my dear ministers, raise your glasses with me, and drink together. May our dynasty be everlasting, our country be peaceful and our people be safe, and may the Dragon Boat Festival be a happy and prosperous one, with long-lasting blessings!"
Everyone drank from the glass together.
Then there was singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere.
Then the palace banquet officially began.
The palace maids came and went, and the first thing they brought to the table was of course rice dumplings.
When the palace maid placed the rice dumplings in front of Yu Yuanzheng, she realized that they were somewhat different from the ones she had played with outside before.
If the size is different, this plate is much smaller. Basically, it is the size of one bite.
Some of them even have words pasted on them.
Everyone was staring at the plate of rice dumplings on the table.
"Everyone, I have a little game for you.
Please check the rice dumplings in front of you.
If the words on the rice dumplings on your plate together form an idiom, then your table will have a performance.
Whether it is singing, dancing, or playing the piano, as long as it is something you are good at, you can go to the center of the hall to perform and liven up the atmosphere for everyone.
Of course, the imperial harem encourages young people to take part, and in the end the imperial harem and the emperor will decide who will be the best and reward them with 100 taels of gold."
The Queen explained the doubts to everyone in a gentle voice.
As soon as the queen finished speaking, some bold young men shouted: "Wow, one hundred taels of gold. How tempting."
Each table began to check the rice dumplings.
"Yeah, our table's name is: Peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
"Our goal is to make the country rich and the people strong."
The plates were closer to Yu Chaoyang, so she looked through them one by one.
"What is it?" Shangguan Zishu asked.
"Happy Dragon Boat Festival."
"Oh my, our table has also formed an idiom: 㩙谷丰盛旦." Shangguan Zifeng, who was sitting at the second old lady's table next to him, shouted, "Mom, no one at our table knows how to perform any programs."
Shangguan Zifeng said with a frustrated face, and then looked at his sister. It was obvious that the blame fell on Shangguan Ling.
Shangguan Ling was already ten years old, the right age for marriage.
She wanted to perform on stage, but she was not proficient in anything and had only learned a few tricks. She would definitely embarrass herself if she went on stage.
"Crown Princess, come over to this table and serve." The second old lady gave a direct order.
She knew very well what her grandchildren were capable of, so she shouldn't go up and embarrass herself.
