The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Today is His Highness the Crown Prince's first birthday, and the court and harem are very concerned about it.

In the previous dynasty, the ministers did not forget to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince on his birthday.Not only that, the ministers have prepared gifts.

In the harem, ladies came to Kunning Palace to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince on his birthday.Many wives also came to the palace to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince on his birthday.

As the protagonist, Zhao Yang is wearing a festive red dress, and he is even more pink and jade-carved against the ground, which is very attractive.

Zhao Yang, who was held in the arms of Empress Cao, felt like a "national treasure" in the zoo, surrounded by everyone.To be precise, he is indeed a "national treasure", the unique "national treasure" of the Song Dynasty.

Ladies and wives took turns to praise His Highness the Prince, for his good looks, for his intelligence, for his energy, for his health, and for being a boy before the Bodhisattva.In short, he praised him so much that he was embarrassed.

Princess Fukang stood beside Empress Cao, proudly showing off to everyone present how smart and obedient she was.

After a while, Zhang Maoshi, who was by the official's side, came to Kunning Palace, and was ordered by the official's family to carry the crown prince to the Jiying Hall.

At this time, the morning court had already come down, and the ministers were preparing to meet and wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's birthday in the Jiying Hall.

Zhang Maoshi saw that His Royal Highness was dressed in red, as cute as a glutinous rice dumpling.

Zhao Yang was obediently held in Zhang Maoshi's arms, holding his neck with a pair of small hands, staring around curiously with his eyes.He found that there were many flowers in the palace, especially marigolds.

Marigold has the meaning of health, peace and longevity.On His Royal Highness's birthday, so many marigolds are placed in the hope that His Royal Highness can live a long and healthy life.

Zhang Maoshi held His Highness the Crown Prince in his arms and did not dare to walk fast. He walked slowly, but very steadily.Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Maoshi arrived at Jiying Hall with Zhao Yang in his arms.

The moment Zhang Maoshi stepped into the Jiying Hall holding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all the ministers turned their attention to Zhao Yang in his arms.

Zhao Yang was not afraid of being stared at by so many people, and looked at the ministers with a pair of round eyes.

The ministers had met His Highness the Crown Prince at the Hundred Days Banquet, but at that time, His Highness the Crown Prince was only a hundred days old, so it was a small group.Now, His Highness the Crown Prince is one year old, much older than Bai Ri.Not only that, His Royal Highness has also grown a bit.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dressed in red looks like a boy in a painting, very beautiful and lovely.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were attracted by the lovely Prince His Royal Highness.

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince is so cute and energetic, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty felt relieved a lot.

Song Renzong was also so cute by his son in red, and couldn't wait to hug him from Zhang Maoshi's arms.

After Zhao Yang was carried into Song Renzong's arms, he opened his mouth and babbled at him.

At this time, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly knelt down and saluted Zhao Yang respectfully: "The ministers and others will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Yang, who was held in Song Renzong's arms, became a little excited when he looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kneeling below.He waved his two short hands and shouted loudly to the ministers in the audience.

Song Renzong smiled and said to the ministers kneeling below: "The prince asks you to get up."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

The ministers stood up and stood up obediently.Then, Prime Minister Jia Changchao came out, "I wish His Highness the Crown Prince good health and safety."

Next, the ministers celebrated His Royal Highness's birthday one by one.The birthday greetings of the ministers were very simple and plain, hoping that His Highness the Crown Prince can grow up healthy and safe.As for other requirements, there are no for now.

Zhao Yang didn't expect the ministers to give him gifts.Some send characters, some send paintings, some send poems, and some send rare treasures.

Get rich!

Made a fortune!

The gifts given by these bigwigs are all very valuable. If you take any one and sell it to future generations, you can sell it for a sky-high price, especially Ouyang Xiu's words.

Song Renzong was very happy to see his son receiving the gift, so he thanked the ministers for his son.

After the ministers paid their respects to His Royal Highness, they followed Song Renzong to the Baihua Pavilion.Ladies and wives also went down to Baihua Pavilion under the leadership of Empress Cao.

The birthday banquet of His Highness the Crown Prince was held at the Baihua Pavilion, and the Baihua Pavilion was very lively and beautifully arranged.

Song Renzong sat on the east side with his ministers, and Empress Cao sat on the west side with his ladies and wives.Because men and women are different, bead curtains are hung here for the female relatives.

After everyone was seated, the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness officially began.

Song Renzong looked at the opposite side, but he didn't see Zhang Meiren. He turned to look at Zhang Maoshi who was waiting at the side, and asked, "Why didn't I see Zhang Meiren?"

"Officials, Zhang Meiren said that the eighth princess is not feeling well, and she wants to stay in Mingluan Pavilion to take care of the eighth princess, so she will not attend the birthday banquet of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You Wu is not feeling well?" Song Renzong frowned, and asked with a worried expression, "What's wrong with You Wu?"

"The eighth princess has caught a cold."

"Did you call the imperial doctor, is it serious?"

"The imperial doctor said that the eighth princess suffered from a bit of cold, and there is nothing serious about it." Seeing that Song Renzong was worried about the situation of the eighth princess, Zhang Maoshi comforted him, "the officials don't need to worry too much."

When Song Renzong heard this, he felt relieved a lot.

"That's good." After he finished speaking, seeing Zhang Maoshi's hesitant expression, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Maoshi looked hesitant, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Seeing that Zhang Maoshi was still hesitating whether to say it or not, Song Renzong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Hearing the words, Zhang Maoshi didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said, "Officials, today is the first birthday of His Highness the Crown Prince. Is it inappropriate for Zhang Meiren not to attend?" He felt that the eighth princess was not sick, but that Zhang Meiren didn't want to come. An excuse to attend His Royal Highness's birthday banquet.

Song Renzong frowned slightly and said: "Young Wu is not feeling well, so it's better for Zhang Meiren to stay and take care of it." In fact, Song Renzong knew in his heart that Zhang Meiren did not come to the prince's birthday banquet deliberately on the grounds that the eighth princess was uncomfortable.

Hearing what Song Renzong said, Zhang Maoshi couldn't say anything more.

Zhao Yang, who was held in Song Renzong's arms, sneered in his heart, Zhang Meiren definitely did not come to his birthday banquet on purpose.

Song Renzong didn't talk about Zhang Meiren and the eighth princess, and watched the song and dance performance with Zhao Yang in his arms.

At this time, in Mingluan Pavilion, Ju Bai was persuading Zhang Meiren: "Lady, today is His Highness the Crown Prince's birthday banquet, so it's not good if you don't attend."

Zhang Meiren said indifferently: "There's nothing wrong with it. One more of me is not much, and one less of me is not much."

"Miss, the government attaches great importance to His Highness the Crown Prince, and you should also attend His Highness the Crown Prince's birthday banquet for the sake of the officials' face." Ju Bai persuaded earnestly, "If you don't attend the birthday banquet of His Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid that the officials will The family will not be happy."

After hearing this, Zhang Meiying dropped the book in her hand and said with a displeased face: "I'm not happy yet."

"Miss..."

Zhang Meiren interrupted Ju Bai impatiently: "If you don't go, you won't go, you don't need to say more."

"Yes, lady." Ju Bai didn't dare to persuade him any more.

Zhang Meiren snorted coldly in her heart, I just deliberately didn't go to the prince's birthday banquet, just because I didn't want to see Cao Yi's proud face.

Empress Cao didn't care at all if Zhang Meiren didn't come to attend His Royal Highness's birthday banquet.It would be ridiculous for Zhang Meiren to think that she could humiliate her if she didn't come to participate.

After Song Renzong held Zhao Yang in his arms and watched the singing and dancing for a while, he asked Zhang Maoshi to hold Zhao Yang to find Empress Cao, and asked Empress Cao to send someone to send Zhao Yang back to Kunning Palace.

The banquet was too lively, and Song Renzong was worried that it would scare Zhao Yang.Besides, the weather is a bit hot today, and he is worried that his son will be overheated.

Empress Cao asked her nurse to carry Zhao Yang back to Kunning Palace.Wait until the Zhou Catch Ceremony begins, and then bring Zhao Yang back.

Zhao Yang watched the singing and dancing in Song Renzong's arms just now, but he didn't think it was interesting.Besides, he was a little sleepy.Before returning to Kunning Palace, he fell asleep in the nurse's arms.

Seeing that Zhao Yang was carried back to Kunning Palace, Princess Fukang followed her back to Kunning Palace.When she returned to Kunning Palace, she stayed by Zhao Yang's little bed.She didn't return to the Baihua Pavilion until the luncheon started.

At the luncheon, Zhao Yang had nothing to eat, so he stayed in Kunning Palace to eat rice noodles.

After the luncheon was over, it was Zhao Yang's Zhou Catch Ceremony.As a prince, his Zhou Catch Ceremony is different from that of ordinary children.Most people's Zhou Catch Ceremony is held in the evening, but his Zhou Catch Ceremony is held in the afternoon.

If his Zhou Catch Ceremony is held at night, then the ministers and wives will have to stay in the palace until late, which is against the rules.Furthermore, the ministers of the previous dynasty wanted to watch His Royal Highness' Zhou Catch Ceremony.

Previously, King Yu's Ceremony of Catch Zhou was held at night, and the ministers of the previous dynasty did not watch it. After all, King Yu was not named a prince at that time.

After the luncheon, a large table was placed in the middle of the Baihua Pavilion.

Various things were placed on the table, including swords, jade pendants, books, brushes, abacus, copper coins, rulers, seals and so on.

When Zhao Yang was carried, Song Renzong, Empress Cao, and ministers were already standing by the table.As for the women and wives, they did not stand at the table, but continued to sit in their seats.

Empress Cao reached out to embrace Zhao Yang, pointed to the things on the table, and said to him: "Yang Yang, I will go and grab what you like later."

Princess Fukang, who was standing beside Empress Cao, raised her head and said to Zhao Yang: "Yang Yang, you have to catch it carefully." She really wanted to tell Yang Yang what to catch, but the maid and her sister wouldn't let her say it.

Song Renzong hugged his son from Empress Cao's arms, and said to his son gently: "Yang Yang, grab whatever you like." After finishing speaking, he put Zhao Yang on the table.

Zhao Yang, who was sitting in the middle of the table, was not in a hurry to grab something, but first looked curiously at what was there.

Seeing his son looking at him, Song Renzong encouraged him and said, "Yangyang, go grab something."

Empress Cao also said: "Yang Yang grabs things."

Princess Fukang urged: "Yangyang, grab something quickly."

The others didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Yang with "fiery" eyes.The ministers were curious to know what their Highness the Crown Prince would catch.

Zhao Yang looked at Empress Cao, then at Song Renzong, and immediately began to get up.

Seeing their son get up, Song Renzong and Empress Cao suddenly became nervous.The ministers also looked forward to it.

The scene suddenly became very quiet, and everyone's eyes were on Zhao Yang who was crawling on the table.
