First Prince of Ming Dynasty

The next morning, Zhu Biao finished washing after bed, put on the Yunlong robe sent by Chang Luohua, and ate a little food.

Liu Jin saw that it was almost done, so she went out and led Chang Mao in. The two of them didn't say much, and set off for Kaiping Palace directly.

Naturally, there was a guard of honor for the prince to go out of the palace, and a group of people left the palace in a mighty manner. The Kaiping Palace is not far from the palace, and it took only two sticks of incense to arrive.

When the carriage stopped, the two vermilion gates of the Kaiping Palace opened wide. Princess Lan led her second son, Chang Sheng, and her third son, Chang Sen, to wait outside the palace.

Chang Mao sensibly helped Zhu Biao get off the frame. When Lan saw Zhu Biao's figure, his face burst into a smile. The more he looked at Zhu Biao, the more he felt that His Royal Highness was indeed unparalleled in the world, not only his status was noble and unparalleled, but also his literary talent was also famous. Government and opposition!

When Zhu Biao got out of the car, he rushed to say hello before Lan's salute: It's been a long time since I came to see you, so it's no wonder I still visit my aunt.

Lan shi smiled and helped Zhu Biao up: Your Highness is too polite, please come into the mansion. The prince is going to inspect the camp this morning, and he will be back at noon.

Zhu Biao started to step into the Kaiping Prince's Mansion. This mansion is also newly built, with rockery and flowing water, pavilions and attics, which is extraordinary in style! It is different from the meticulousness of Li's house, but it has a sense of grandeur.

The last time Zhu Biao came with the people from the Ministry of Rites, his every move was in accordance with the rules, and he didn't take a good look at it. This time he really visited the Kaiping Palace.

After entering the main hall, I saw a heroic woman walking over surrounded by maids: The court lady pays homage to His Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu!

Zhu Biao took a serious look at Chang Luohua, with a slight smile on his fair face, his brows still showed arrogance, and his bright phoenix eyes saw Zhu Biao's robe bent into a crescent moon.

She is wearing a bright red silk dress with gold and white butterflies, a sun and moon qin and book hairpin on her head, and a piece of Longmu Jadeite hanging from her waist. She is so gorgeous!

Beautiful things always make people feel happy, Zhu Biao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, Let's get down! How are you recently?

Chang Luohua also stood up straight and said generously: My daughter is doing well, and many sisters are envious of her!

Zhu Biao laughed and walked directly to the main seat in the main hall and sat down, not to mention that Chang Yuchun was not there, even if he was, Zhu Biao could only sit in this seat!

Lan Shi and the others also took it for granted that the young man was sitting on the main seat.

Lan Shi also sat down, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Lan Shi had been observing the expressions of the two of them just now.

Although whether the two of them are willing or not, there is absolutely no possibility of going back on this marriage, but the Lan family should be more prepared.

She had asked her daughter a long time ago, although Chang Luohua kept nodding, but she was still worried, her daughter has been very self-reliant since she was a child, even if she is a mother, she can't guess what's on her mind, she has been worried that she knows she can't He nodded in protest.

But looking at the appearance of the two of them just now, Mrs. Lan felt much more at ease. She also thought that if the two of them were not satisfied, she would arrange more young and beautiful maids to marry them!

But now, let's arrange more older ones, who can also help my daughter take care of the East Palace.

While Lan was thinking about it, a servant had already brought tea, and Chang Mao personally took it and placed it in front of Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin who was on the side, and took a sip of tea when he saw him nodding. Lan Shi and the others had already sat down according to the rules!

Zhu Biao started with Chang Mao, after all he is a man and heir of the royal family, he should be the one to receive the guests when Chang Yuchun is not around.

Chang Mao said a few polite words, and Zhu Biao responded gently. Chang Luohua sat at the foot of his mother, drinking tea in a proper manner.

Zhu Biao glanced at Chang Luohua and said, Do you like to drink tea? There are some dragon and phoenix tea cakes from the Imperial Tea Garden in Wuyi Mountain in my palace. They taste good. I'll have someone bring them to you in a while.

Chang Luohua was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhu Biao to say this to her suddenly at this moment, his cheeks flushed with blood for a while.

My first reaction was to refuse, but when I thought that there were so many people around, it would be bad if I refused, so I calmed down, stood up and bowed my knees and returned: Then thank you, Your Highness.

Zhu Biao glanced at Chang Luohua's flushed cheeks and nodded with a smile, but didn't say anything.

Lan's eyes on the side were almost blind, seeing that the two of them were no longer talking, he hurriedly said to Zhu Biao: Your Highness will have dinner in the mansion today, the lord has specifically explained this before going out.

Zhu Biao naturally complied, he came here just to meet Chang Yuchun, how could he leave if the Lord didn't come, and in his capacity, it's not easy to come here too often.

After talking like this for a while, the Lan family asked Chang Mao and others to return to the school in the name of not delaying their studies, and specially asked Chang Luohua to take him around the palace.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao didn't refuse, and Chang Luohua also stood up generously and walked to Zhu Biao's side.

The two of them left the main hall. Naturally, it was impossible for them to act alone, with at least twenty or thirty people following behind them.

This meant that the two had already completed their engagement ceremony, and the emperor personally decreed the marriage, otherwise such an opportunity would not have been possible.

The two of them didn't say much, they walked around the palace, Zhu Biao stood in a pavilion, looked at the plum trees in the yard and said, You've been walking with me for so long, are you a little tired?

Chang Luohua was not polite either, and sat directly on the stone chair in the hall and said, I'm a little tired, I haven't walked this long for a long time.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao smiled and glanced at the silver embroidered shoes exposed under her skirt, and felt relieved after confirming that they were not wrapped with three-inch golden lotuses.

Chang Luohua looked at Zhu Biao's eyes and said, My family doesn't have a tradition of binding feet, is your Highness not satisfied?

Zhu Biao shook his head solemnly and said: Binding feet is a vulgarity, I hate it deeply, it's very good of you.

Chang Luohua also smiled, and she never felt that there was anything wrong with not binding her feet!

Zhu Biao really hates the custom of bound feet, not only because he hates it but because he feels disgusted!

This kind of foot binding began in the late Northern Song Dynasty and rose in the Southern Song Dynasty. Women from aristocratic families had to bind their feet since they were young, otherwise they would not be able to marry.

Fortunately, there are not so many ordinary people's homes. After all, the women of the farm family have to go to the fields to work, and it is difficult to walk with bound feet, so what else can they do!

Zhu Biao pondered for a while, how to solve this bad custom, but there was no good solution for a while. Changing customs is difficult, let alone when it comes to women, it is even more difficult.

And this matter can't be brought up by him, otherwise what will people in the world think? The majestic crown prince doesn't think about national affairs, what's the point of staring at women's little feet every day, not to mention that once the order is harsh, what will those women who have bound feet do? This world can eat people.

Zhu Biao shook his head and sighed. Chang Luohua seemed to understand the reason for his sigh, stood up to divert his attention, and asked, Is your highness comfortable in this suit?

Zhu Biao nodded and asked curiously, Did you do it yourself or did Xiuniang do it?

Chang Luohua smiled and said, If I didn't make it with my own hands, Your Highness wouldn't be happy?

Zhu Biao said with a smile: No, the one I want to marry is the Crown Princess, not the Xiuniang!

Chang Luohua deliberately breathed a sigh of relief: Then I can rest assured, my female celebrity is not very good, so I can embroider handkerchiefs. I only sewed a few stitches on this Yunlong robe, and the rest It was embroidered by embroiderers in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Biao laughed a few times and said: Then I will trouble you to embroider a handkerchief for Bengong yourself! Don't let others replace it this time!

Chang Luohua agreed with a smile, and Liu Jin and others in the distance saw the smiles of the masters, and their hearts melted!

……………

After submitting the application and signing the contract, I don't know if it will work.

Let’s recommend tickets and go for a walk (＾ω＾)

Another half chapter has been updated. I’m really sleepy. I’ll write it tomorrow. Everyone, go to bed early.
