Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 269 Engagement Banquet

"The day after tomorrow?"

Chen Fan said softly, one day is enough time to publish the news of the engagement banquet in the newspaper, relying on the most advanced newspaper production line brought by Chen Fan from the modern world.

Suddenly, Chen Fan thought of something.

Looking at Yinyin, he said, "Since the engagement banquet is going to be the headline of the first issue of the "Da Ming Times", then it should be more formal and solemn. You can find someone who can take pictures tomorrow and ask him to go to the engagement banquet. Taking a family portrait, and then putting this photo on the front page, can be regarded as letting the common people of Ming Dynasty see, what does their emperor look like?"

Yinyin nodded in agreement.

Yinyin knows everything about cameras and video cameras, and the National Teacher gave her a lot of equipment related to media.

Through the manual, Yinyin has a general understanding of how to operate.

Although I am not familiar with the operation at present, it will be fine after a long time.

"Okay, if nothing happens, just go down and make arrangements!"

Chen Fan waved his hand, he was still busy!
Tomorrow was his and Princess Changping's engagement party, and he had to prepare well.

After hearing the national teacher's order to expel them, Yinyin also knew that it would be inconvenient to stay longer, so she said goodbye and went back.

She still had her important business to attend to, and she didn't want to lose any time.

The next day, that is, the seventh day of the lunar new year.

For the entire palace, today is a day of great joy.

The imperial palace has already made sufficient preparations. Each palace is decorated with lights and festoons. At a glance, the entire imperial palace is full of festivities and lively.

Today is the day when Princess Daming and Imperial Master Daming are engaged, every court lady and eunuch in the palace is beaming, and everyone's face is filled with joyful expressions.

This time, Chen Fan didn't sleep until the sun was high, but woke up early in the morning.

Then, under the arrangement of Steward Wang, they went through the etiquette before the engagement banquet.

Like bathing and burning incense, praying to heaven and earth, etc., although Chen Fan thought it was very cumbersome, he still patiently went through the process.

After all, this is the only time in a lifetime, and it should be an experience of ancient traditional etiquette.

Fortunately, Chen Fan is a loner, otherwise there would be a complicated process of telling the ancestors.

Chen Fan had a hasty breakfast and then changed into a formal dress with the help of the maid.

Chen Fan was also worried that he didn't know when the engagement banquet would start, and it would be embarrassing if he was hungry.

So eat something in advance to pad your stomach.

After changing into the gorgeous dress, Chen Fan went out and entered the palace.

The venue of the engagement banquet is in the palace, so Chen Fan can just go there.

As soon as Chen Fan walked to the gate of the palace, he saw Wang Chengen waiting at the gate of the palace.

"Wang Gonggong, wait for a long time!"

Chen Fan hurried forward and made some polite remarks.

However, although the words were polite, Chen Fan was still a little touched in his heart.

Chongzhen let Wang Chengen wait for him at the gate of the palace, which is enough to see that Chongzhen attaches great importance to him.

Chen Fan liked the feeling of being valued.

Wang Chengen smiled, "The servants have just arrived too."

Chen Fan nodded and said, "There is no delay, let's go directly!"

Wang Cheng'en said: "The servant girl brought the national teacher there."

After finishing speaking, Wang Chengen walked towards the palace, while Chen Fan followed behind Wang Chengen.

It stands to reason that Chen Fan has been to the palace many times, so he doesn't need to lead the way.

But today is different.

Today is the day of the engagement banquet between him and Princess Changping.

With Wang Chengen leading the way, it seemed more formal.

The engagement banquet was held in Chongzhen's palace, which was also the place where Chongzhen held banquets.

In just 5 minutes, Chen Fan was brought to Chongzhen's bedroom.

When Chen Fan arrived, he saw that the entire bedroom was full of court ladies and eunuchs, but Chongzhen did not see it.

I haven't come here yet.

However, Chen Fan saw Zhu Cixiang and his three brothers playing wildly in the corner with a game console in their hands!
Chen Fan stepped forward and asked, "You three are here, where is your father?"

The three princes looked up, isn't this the uncle whom they haven't seen for a long time?
No, it should be called brother-in-law now.

Is this a sudden downgrade?

"Father, they will be here soon."

Chongzhen had greeted Zhu Cilang in advance.

If the Imperial Master arrives, someone will notify him and he will come right away.

really.

Before Zhu Cihong finished speaking, hearty laughter came from outside the hall.

"My dear brother, you are here!"

Then Chen Fan saw Chongzhen leading a large family in.

There was Empress Zhou, Princess Changping, five-year-old Princess Zhaoren, and a beauty that Chen Fan had never seen before.

Chen Fan stared at the beauty for a moment, and he already had the answer in his heart.

That should be Tian Guifei.

It is said that apart from Empress Zhou, Chongzhen's favorite is Concubine Tian.

In addition, the biological mother of the fourth prince Zhu Cizhen is Concubine Tian Gui.

Then, it made sense for Chongzhen to bring her to the engagement banquet.

really.

Chongzhen's next words confirmed Chen Fan's conjecture.

"Let me introduce to my virtuous brother, this is my beloved concubine Tian Guifei."

Chen Fan nodded and didn't say much.

It is not a wise behavior to be interested in the emperor's woman.

When Chen Fan saw Chang Ping, he nodded and smiled, as a greeting.

Chang Ping gave Chen Fan a sweet smile in return.

At present, this occasion is not suitable for the two of them to say more.

If you have anything to say, wait until the engagement banquet is over, and then talk in private.

"Everyone sit down, today is a family banquet, so relax and don't be too restrained."

Chongzhen said to the whole family.

Then Chongzhen took the initiative to walk up to a big dining table.

The dining table was purple in color and extremely luxurious. Chen Fan could tell at a glance that the dining table was made of rosewood.

Only the royal family has such an atmosphere, and the dining table is made of rosewood.

Others came to the table one after another and sat down according to their respective positions.

In order to take care of Chen Fan, Chongzhen specially asked him to sit next to Changping.

After everyone sat down, the maids and eunuchs who had been waiting at the side quickly brought up the food.

After a while, the table of the Eight Immortals was full of delicacies.

Seeing Chen Fan's appetite whetted his appetite.

He just ate a little in the morning, and now seeing so many delicacies, his stomach is hungry all at once.

really.

Just as Chen Fan guessed, Chongzhen made some opening remarks before moving his chopsticks.

I saw Chongzhen saying affectionately: "Today, my eldest princess is mainly engaged to the Master of the Ming Dynasty. I am very happy and very happy. The Master is my virtuous younger brother, and now he is my son-in-law. It can be called a close relationship." Add kisses."

"To be honest, I have always been looking forward to this day. Daming can be where he is today, and he can get better day by day. This is all thanks to my virtuous brother. Without my virtuous brother, my Daming would have died a long time ago."

"I can't repay my good brother. Today, I hand over Changping to my good brother. I hope you two can grow old together."
