Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1356 Wanfu, the Empress Dowager

  Zhu Houcong looked at his cousin with resentment.

  He has seen his cousin's dominance.

  So he took a step back obediently.

  The empress dowager saw her, and couldn't help but her face darkened slightly: "You are brothers, how can the crown prince talk to his brother like this."

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "Yes, Sun Chen was wrong."

  He admitted his mistake easily.

  Zhu Houzhao is like this. He usually acts recklessly, but it does not mean that he is unreasonable.

  In fact, he understands the truth, but he can't do it.

  The empress dowager's face softened, she smiled, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then at Fang Jifan: "You two are Jiao Buli Meng, Meng Buli Jiao. The Ai family knows that you will definitely come together."

"Speaking of it..." The Empress Dowager laughed again: "Aijia was talking to Concubine Fang and Xiurong just now, Aijia is getting old, I really envy you young people, I heard that you are doing a good job in Shuntian Mansion, Your Majesty I am full of praise for you. The Ai family is a woman. She doesn’t understand the affairs of foreign courts. people."

  Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "Yes, it is said outside that Sun Chen is even more holy than the father..."

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty is too absurd. The prince and ministers, how can they deserve such a compliment, but His Royal Highness is full of love for the people, which is true. The prince often said that he only does two things in his life. There will be no regrets. The first is filial piety, filial piety to the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress. The second is to love the people. The common people are the heart and soul of His Royal Highness, and His Highness is one and a half , I don’t want them to be hungry or cold, let alone let them be wronged, it is precisely because of His Royal Highness that the minister was inspired by him and tried his best to do things within his reach.”

  The Empress Dowager glanced at Emperor Hongzhi who was at the side.

  Emperor Hongzhi listened to Zhu Houzhao and didn't know what to brag about. His face was more than flushed, and it was clearly about to turn purple. After hearing Fang Jifan's words, his face softened a little.

  Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said: "That's all right, come on, you all come here."

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan stepped forward.

Mrs. Zhou took some candied fruit from the table and stuffed them into their hands. Although Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were both grown up, in her eyes, they were just children who hadn't grown up. I'm hungry, this candied fruit is a tribute from the Duke of Qian, and it tastes really good."

  Zhu Houzhao ate the candied fruit in one bite, chewed it and downed it. Fang Jifan took his time.

   "When it comes to paying tribute, I have a big gift for my mother's birthday." Zhu Houzhao hiccupped and said.

  Even though the Empress Dowager knew that her great-grandson would give gifts, when Zhu Houzhao said it herself, she was still surprised and said with joy, "Oh, what kind of gift is it?"

   Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan.

   These days, he is busy with the revision. Anyway, Fang Jifan agreed, and he is too lazy to ask more questions.

   Now that she is the empress dowager, she will naturally wait for Fang Jifan to donate it.

  Anyway...Fang Jifan is rich.

  He is very confident.

  Fang Jifan nodded with a smile, and then whispered something to the **** beside him.

  The **** understood, went out for a while, and then took a bundle.

   is a baggage.

   This burden is soft.

  What's inside?

  Everyone knows that Duke Qi is as rich as an enemy country, and his family's money is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold and silver.

   Then, the gift he gave must be extremely precious.

  So people kept their eyes open, wanting to see what kind of rare treasures they were gifting.

  Even Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help standing up, with his hands behind his back, showing a somewhat curious look.

  The rest of the wives were all holding their breath.

  The Empress Dowager likes this feeling very much, and what is worth looking forward to is the most precious.

  Fang Jifan unpacked the burden layer by layer.

  It seems that the things contained in this bag are really precious, even he has to be careful.

   Immediately afterwards, the burden was opened layer by layer.

   Dang Dang Dang Dang!

   In Fang Jifan's heart, the prelude to the Symphony of Destiny sounded.

   Then, a piece of clothing was shaken out.

clothing…

  People looked at a piece of clothing that Fang Jifan unfolded in amazement...all of them were dumbfounded.

  The crown prince and Qi Guogong just gave one piece of clothing?

this…

  Many people's faces can't hide the loss.

This is it?

  The Empress Dowager couldn't help but wiped her eyes and put on reading glasses.

  She looked astonished.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look. This dress...is of course extremely expensive, but the selection of materials, materials, and even the style are nothing to say.

   It's just... He gets disappointed right away.

Even so, this kind of birthday gift is certainly a treasure in ordinary people's homes, but in front of the Empress Dowager, let's see what other people give, not to mention pearls, agates, corals, and other rare treasures. Treasures, all of them are fine products.

  But the crown prince, Fang Jifan, and the empress dowager loved you a lot, but the result...is...

  Emperor Hongzhi's face sank slightly.

  The empress dowager seemed to feel the emperor's chill.

  But he looked at the crown prince and Fang Jifan very considerately, and pretended to be pleasantly surprised: "This dress is really beautiful, very good."

  She got up and ran her fingers through the fabric.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't know the empress dowager's intention of protecting him, but it was inconvenient for him to do anything, and he still kept smiling.

Fang Jifan said: "My lady, this dress is priceless. It is the only one in the world, and only my wife is worthy of this dress. For this dress, the prince and ministers have worked hard and spent countless efforts. I beg your lady to wear it." Take it."

   "Okay, okay, as long as it is given by you, Aijia will like it. This is a sincere filial piety."

  The wives did not dare to show their anger. Although they smiled reluctantly, they felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

  Only Zhu Houcong said from the side: "Prince, Qi Guogong, look, my family sent such a big coral."

   "..."

   Such a big coral tree!

  Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao at the side felt embarrassed suddenly, tugged at Zhu Houcong, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with an apologetic face. Zhu Youzhao is a cautious person.

  This nephew can do anything.

   There is also Fang Jifan, that bastard, he plucks the feathers of geese, eats people without spitting out bones, people who have bought a house have a deep memory of this. Even though he was the closest clan of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhan didn't want to offend the crown prince and Fang Jifan, and said with a smile, "This dress...is very expensive at first glance."

  He started.

  So...

  Everyone nodded.

   "Yeah, yeah, nice suit."

   "Such a good material is rare."

   "The filial piety of His Royal Highness and Duke Qi... really... really..."

  The wives agreed one after another.

   But everyone's heart is like a mirror, tacitly.

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Empress Zhang seemed to feel that the crown prince and Duke Qi had gone too far, so she couldn't help coughing.

  There was only Zhu Xiurong, but she was very determined, with a peaceful smile on her face, and she sat by the side without saying a word.

  Zhu Houzhao wanted to kick Zhu Houcong into the sky.

   What he hates the most is brats, why are you joining in the fun.

  Because Zhu Houzhao also felt that...the birthday gift that Fang Jifan swore to prepare was a bit shabby.

  Old Fang...This is a trap for me.

  He wailed inwardly.

  Fang Jifan continued: "My lady, let's see if this dress fits me well?"

   "OK. Somebody..."

  The Empress Dowager didn't care.

  At her age, she has long lost interest in the so-called gold, silver and jewelry. She doesn't have much of anything, but this gold and silver jewelry can't be more.

  Fang Jifan gave this dress, which can be regarded as... unique.

  Courtesy is less important than affection.

   She gave her a wink, and an **** stepped forward and carefully changed the clothes for the Empress Dowager.

  This garment is double-breasted, so it is convenient to wear, just put it on your body.

  The colors used are gorgeous, and they are extremely soft when worn on the body. Needless to say, the materials used are of the best quality.

  The empress dowager felt that it fit her body very well, and she nodded with satisfaction: "Ai's family wears the dresses woven in this palace too much, and I'm still not used to them. Wearing this dress makes me feel comfortable."

  Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the real strength of this garment is not that it is comfortable to wear, but that...its name...is called Wanfu Yi."

  Wanfuyi...

  The empress dowager was astonished, she stared at Fang Jifan: "Oh, what is this trick?"

   "This... this... it's really famous. It's just... I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but after reading it, the empress will understand." He turned his head and looked at another eunuch.

  The **** dared to neglect, so he had to obediently go.

   Moments later, several eunuchs brought in several instruments.

  In addition to a magnifying glass with a higher magnification, someone actually brought a microscope.

  Everyone was in a fog.

   But at a loss.

   Even the Empress Dowager became confused.

  Fang Jifan first took a high-magnification magnifying glass and stepped forward: "My lady, let's see."

  The Empress Dowager took the magnifying glass, and Fang Jifan gently pushed the other end of the magnifying glass, aiming at the cuff of the dress.

   This look...

  The empress dowager was silent.

  On the clothes, small characters appeared in the lens of the magnifying glass.

  The Empress Dowager had no choice but to identify carefully, only then did she realize that the word on it...seemed...as if...it was a word for blessing.

   Such "Fu" characters are densely packed, and it is almost invisible to the naked eye. Only under a magnifying glass can it be seen.

  The Empress Dowager couldn't help but move the magnifying glass, only to find that, except for the cuffs, the upper and lower parts of the clothes were actually the word "Fu".

  Wanfuyi...

  The Empress Dowager understands.

  The so-called Wanfu clothes are written with the word "blessing" all over the clothes. How much effort does it take.

  The empress dowager has enjoyed all kinds of blessings in her life. To be honest, she admires Taoism, and those who believe in it have their own preferences for these meaningful things.

   Now such a piece of clothing, there is a lot of 'blessing'. Fang Jifan just said that this piece of clothing is priceless, but he was really right.
