Chapter 284 He doesn't want to marry and have children so early
But the child has already left Beijing, what's the point of complaining now? Being aggressive and chattering is just annoying.
And when he mentioned the emperor, Princess Kang Yi finally shut up, and the matter was over for the time being.
These families are Yuntang’s maternal relatives.
Although there are some relatives in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, they are separated by several rooms and are definitely not as close as those on Prince Cheng's side in terms of direct kinship.
Apart from sending gifts to the Marquis' Mansion during the recognition banquet, he had never sent Yuntang any gift or anything on his own, so there was no need for a return gift.
As for the others, after Yuntang was named the Protector of the Nation Princess, they found all kinds of reasons to inquire about Yuntang's situation and posted messages to make friends or get married...
Those gifts were sent to the Marquis' Mansion but were not delivered to Yuntang's yard. Marquis Yong'an put them all into the warehouse and regarded them as favors among the people in the Marquis' Mansion and would not use them to disturb Yuntang.
Marquis Yong'an helped Yuntang deliver the gifts to those families, and after explaining Yuntang's whereabouts and the fact that he would not be spending the New Year in the capital, he returned to the Marquis' Mansion to arrange the New Year's social interactions and the New Year's banquet in the palace.
He would practice martial arts whenever he had free time. Although he did not obtain any Taoist martial arts, he was originally a military general and had been the main general guarding the northern border. It was just that he had been serving in the Ministry of War in the capital for so many years and had no chance to train or even fight in wars, so he had become much lazier.
Now that he has taken the marrow cleansing pill, all the old injuries on his body have shrunk, and it seems that his body's potential has been stimulated, and even a faint energy has been condensed.
The feeling is even more obvious than when I was a child comprehending inner energy. It's like starting to learn martial arts all over again, but it can bring out new vitality.
Therefore, he practiced martial arts more diligently in the past two days. Even his third brother Jiang Mingwei, who had given up martial arts early and turned to studying and becoming an official, found the family martial arts collection from the library and started learning martial arts from scratch.
They all felt that they should not waste Tang'er's excellent elixir, and should not just eat it and wait for death without any talent in literature or martial arts. If they told others about it, they would be Tang'er's family members and a drag on them.
There is another reason that makes them excited to practice martial arts actively. That is, before Tang'er left, she gave her eldest brother two volumes of martial arts techniques. The two brothers are studying them carefully these two days.
If they learn it, it will be their turn to learn it next!
Tang'er is so powerful. If they can learn the skills that Tang'er teaches them, can they also become a little bit more powerful?
No matter whether it was Jiang Yanting, Jiang Yanxuan, or the three brothers of Yong'an Hou, this thought was surging in their hearts.
Over at the Imperial Guard Camp, dozens of young boys, both young and old, had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and under the supervision of brothers Lin Haoran and Lin Haoyu, they had begun to formally learn the basic Taoist skills.
There are so many guards, and most of them know some Taoist magic.
However, there were only a dozen or so people who were actually accepted as Yun Xuanyuan's personal disciples and inherited more Taoist skills from Qingfeng Temple, and of course, they were also the ones with the best talents.
Now that the dozen or so people have left the capital, the Imperial Guard Camp has various practices after daily training, and the atmosphere is still very good.
The young men no longer go to the academy, and the imperial study has been on vacation for a long time. Everyone is studying new skills seriously.
Soon it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the customary annual banquet held in the palace also arrived.
The annual banquet has been in charge of the Queen in recent years, and Xiao Beichen does not interfere. At most, he would show up on that day to enjoy the occasion with the Queen and his ministers, which could be regarded as a summary of the court's hard work throughout the year.
Some rewards and honors will also be given out on that day.
This year, Xiao Beichen has been living in Qingfeng Palace since he let the crown prince act as regent. After the ritual ended and Yun Xuanmo recovered, Xiao Beichen would no longer interfere in state affairs.
The prince has plenty of time to learn how to be an emperor.
The Crown Prince had more time to handle state affairs, and Prince of Qi Xiao Fei was finally able to get rid of the pile of memorials in the imperial study and at least have some rest time of his own.
When Xiao Fei learned that his mother wanted him to meet a noble lady at the palace's annual banquet and have the emperor appoint him as the Princess of Qi next year, he was so scared that he immediately ran to Qingfeng Palace and hugged his father's thigh and cried.
He is still young, he still wants to learn Taoism, he has not figured out his own life, and he still has many life ideals that have not been realized...
In short, he shouldn't get married and have children so early.
Xiao Beichen was so angry at the boy's shamelessness that he laughed. He kicked him away and scolded, "Your brother hasn't found a wife yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Fei was howling and crying about his ideals, but when he heard his father's words, he paused, then got up from the ground and said with a wry smile, "Father, you are wise."
At the New Year's banquet in the palace, not only was Concubine Liu planning her son's marriage, Empress Xu also had her own plans.
The last time she mentioned the prince's marriage to the emperor and wanted to hold a winter banquet, she was stopped by the emperor, who said that the prince should wait until he was twenty years old to get married. She did not dare to refute her verbally, but she felt a little disapproving in her heart.
The prince is already eighteen this year, and he will be nineteen after the new year. How far is he from twenty?
Even if she can't be crowned as the Crown Princess before she's 20, can't she look for suitable candidates in advance? It would be good to choose two Crown Princesses first.
Compared to Empress Xu and Concubine Liu, who each had their own thoughts and were planning for their sons' future, Concubine Zhang was in high spirits recently.
Because Xiao Ye is going to be crowned king.
On the day of the palace banquet, the female members of the families who were qualified to attend the banquet would go directly to the harem, first to the Central Palace to pay a visit to the Queen, and then to the Imperial Garden to play. The banquet was set up in the Chunhui Hall near the Imperial Garden.
The court officials and the sons of noble families who had made achievements would first go to the Wenhua Hall to meet the emperor and complete the ceremony of conferring honors before going to the Fukuzawa Hall on the other side of the Imperial Garden to take their seats.
Male and female guests will not attend the banquet in the same place, as there is an imperial garden between them. On the male guest side, the emperor will attend with his princes, while on the female guest side, the empress will attend with her concubines.
However, there are several pavilions, flower pavilions, curved corridors and other places within the Imperial Garden for guests to relax and use at their own discretion.
Men and women can walk around the Imperial Garden, enjoy the scenery, chat, drink tea, and listen to the piano...
In previous years, the young masters of each mansion would follow their mothers or other female elders to the harem. Although the arrangement was the same this year, but...
A special group of young people appeared this year, and Xiao Beichen arranged a banquet for them in an empty palace near the Fuze Palace, named Qiu Shui Pavilion.
Today is also the day when Xiao Ye is crowned king. The Third Prince's mansion was busy early in the morning, decorated with lights and looking brand new. All the guards and servants tied red silk around their waists, and they were in high spirits as they walked around.
Early in the morning, Xiao Ye went to Wenhua Hall wearing new clothes.
But when he saw his father and brother, he couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "It's a pity that Junior Master ran away again, and didn't even see me in my glory..."
Seeing him like this, Xiao Beichen rarely refrained from cursing, and said kindly, "Didn't your junior uncle give you a set of swordsmanship as a gift? When she comes back after the New Year, it's time for you to hold a banquet to welcome her back."
When Xiao Ye thought of the wonderful sword manual that his father had passed on to him, the smile on his face became even brighter.
Soon, the coronation ceremony, which was not a special coronation ceremony, began.
