[Red Mansion] The first cute rabbit

In an instant, all the ministers, who were talking loudly, walked to the center of the hall and knelt down in an orderly manner. Originally, according to the grade, Baoyu was going to kneel in the disciple seat on the right rear of Mr. Zhu, but Mr. Zhu was not there, so he had to follow Shui Rong closely. When you see where he is kneeling, just kneel behind him on the right.

Shui Rong only cared about going up to find out where the concubine was, and didn't bother to tell Baoyu where to kneel at all.Although Mr. Zhu is the emperor's teacher, he is a courtier after all, and he is far away from the place where the king of Beijing should kneel.

The hall was very quiet, the emperor didn't make a sound, and the ministers didn't dare to get up.

Although the emperor defeated several courtiers, he was still not very confident, and he still valued these etiquettes. For the purpose of establishing his majesty, he was not in a hurry to get his courtiers to get up, but just stood there, looked around, and looked around. Is there any inconsistency.

As soon as Yuan Chen entered the gate of the palace, he saw the young master in the sky blue brocade robe, like a banished immortal who fell into the mortal world for the first time, followed closely by the King of Beijing, who was holding the concubine's hand, in a panic, with an expression on his face. Kneeling behind him hesitantly.

"Huh? King of Beijing..." The emperor stared, turned around, and finally landed on the beautiful young man behind King of Beijing.

"Father, he is a friend of mine, and he was specially brought here by Shui Rong." Yuan Chen quickly stepped forward and explained in the emperor's ear.

The crown prince's face still needs to be given, the emperor nodded, elongated his tone, and said majesticly: "Pingshen."

Shui Rong stood up, only to find Baoyu kneeling behind him, glanced at the high-ranking emperor with some fear, walked over and whispered hurriedly: "Baoyu, you are overstepping, go back to your seat."

Baoyu was a little panicked, followed Shui Rong's gaze, and looked at Gao Zuo, the emperor still covered his face with a thick jade curtain, but the person standing beside him was looking over.

His Royal Highness the Prince.

Baoyu looked at the high seat in the distance, and slowly backed away. The handsome and gentle His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was sitting in the moonlight stroking rabbit hair and listening to books seemed to be someone who had lived in his previous life, even though he was separated from him now. Less than [-] meters away, but still out of reach.

But in an instant, that person seemed to be smiling and nodded towards him, just like under the moonlight, every time the little rabbit listened to his interpretation and thought seriously with his chin on his hands, His Majesty the Crown Prince would show such a smile. A warm smile.

Baoyu froze in place.

"Shi Ying, don't stand here, take your seat quickly." Mr. Zhu hurried over, took the little disciple's hand and returned to his seat.

The princes and ministers began to congratulate the emperor on his birthday and present gifts according to their ranks.The Emperor Taishang advocated frugality, and he never held such a large-scale birthday banquet for himself when he was in power, but the new emperor held it, which shows that the new emperor has a different personality from the Emperor Taishang. It takes a lot of scenes.

The ministers weighed the size of the gifts they gave.It needs to be expensive, but not too expensive, everyone will work hard on exquisite and ingenious workmanship, why use the lake stones of Taihu Lake to carve a unified country; , Snow otter skin from northern Xinjiang made a pair of boots......

The new emperor was very satisfied with seeing all the ministers trying their best to pick out gifts. Gifts don't matter how expensive they are, as long as you put your mind to it and show your respect to the emperor, that's enough.

What Mr. Zhu gave was a Xiaoxiang bamboo flute, which is elegant and valuable.The emperor was very satisfied. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the young man who was kneeling behind the King of Beijing, now standing behind Mr. Zhu, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Zhu, which family is the young man behind Qing from?" Live beautifully."

"Back to the emperor, he is the youngest son of Jia Zheng, the second housekeeper of Jia's house. His name is Jia Jie, and his name is Baoyu." Mr. Zhu answered with cupped hands, and motioned Baoyu to come forward and salute with his eyes.

Baoyu had to stand quietly behind Mr. Zhu and kowtow to the emperor to celebrate his birthday, but now that his name has been called, he can only go forward and kowtow to the emperor alone.

"Are you the son who was born with jade? Look up and let me see." The emperor heard the Jia family, and looked at Prince Zhongshun and the crown prince respectively.

"The appearance is really good, but it's a pity that there is such an uncle who wants to die." Prince Zhongshun saw the emperor looking over and knew that he already knew which Jia family this young man came from. Seeing the purity in Baoyu's eyes, he thought with regret road.

Baoyu raised his head and looked at Gao Zuo with big black eyes. After failing to see clearly the expression of the emperor with jade curtains on his face, he unconsciously turned his head to look at the prince beside him.

"Chen'er, you said you want Xuan to enter the palace as a companion, is he the one?" The emperor looked at it for a moment, then tilted his head and whispered to the prince.

"Yes, Royal Father." Yuan Chen bowed slightly, his tone very respectful.

"Baoyu, how is your knowledge?" Although the emperor felt that Baoyu's appearance was gentle and harmless, since the crown prince thought so, there was no way to defend against it, but thinking of some rumors, he ignored it in the hall and asked the most concerned question directly. .

"Back to the emperor, the students are learning from Mr. Zhu, and they will benefit a little." Baoyu saluted and replied respectfully.

"Back to the emperor, although this student is young, he has a keen mind, is erudite, and has gained a lot of benefits. He is a talent to be created." Mr. Zhu arched himself again, received the gaze from the senior disciple, and understood it instantly, without hesitation Seriously speak well for the little disciple.

"Okay, every good teacher must have a good apprentice. Return to your seat." The emperor waved his hand without expressing any opinion.Feeling the little help-seeking gaze cast by his outstanding son, he enjoyed it very much, and he didn't mind extending the rare feeling of superiority that Lao Tzu should have in front of his son infinitely.

With a decent smile on Yuan Chen's face, he stood a little behind the emperor, bowing slightly to ask questions from time to time, giving the emperor Laozi the No. 1 decency of his dynasty.

After congratulations from all the ministers and officials, the envoys sent by the big and small countries and affiliated countries from all over the world came to the stage. Their gifts were much more exaggerated. It was the first one, and it was the new emperor, so the gifts prepared were much thicker, and they were all unique special treasures of the country.

Mr. Lin Chenruo, the strangest Hanlin scholar in this dynasty, is very busy, and he does all the translations for dozens of countries, big and small, by himself.There is no way, the dynasty attaches great importance to imperial examinations, although they also set up miscellaneous subjects, but there are very few applicants. ,What is the use.

Although Master Lin knew a foreign language, the dynasty hadn't held such a grand state banquet in decades. Even though he had done the preview beforehand, he still got stuck a few times. Fortunately, the foreign envoy didn't understand the Chinese language, so it wasn't embarrassing.

After reading the long list of envoys, Mr. Lin heaved a long sigh of relief. It's great, he lived up to the expectations of the Holy Grace, and he didn't lose the face of the dynasty.

"Report, there are envoys from the night tour country." Outside the door, the eunuch's voice sang the report.

All the ministers looked at each other, traveling the country at night?In this world, there really is such a No. [-] country, where is it, and what does it look like?

Sweat dripped from Mr. Lin's forehead. He had never even heard of this country, let alone where it was. He looked eagerly at the gate of the palace, and begged in his heart that the envoy of this country could say something about him. speak the language.

In the midst of everyone's anticipation, a few dark-and-white people came in under the guise of envoys, walked to the center of the hall, and bared their teeth at the emperor on the high seat: "§※&◎￠￡*沭{."

The emperor looked confused: "What did you say?"

After sweating for a moment, Mr. Lin glanced at the emperor and his ministers, who were full of clouds and mist in the hall. With much experience in adapting to the situation, he roughly translated: "Your Majesty, the envoys of Yeyou Kingdom are congratulating you on your birthday and blessings." Woolen cloth."

The emperor hurriedly replied with a smile: "Thank you, Monarch Yeyou, please take your envoys to your seat."

Mr. Lin stretched out his hand hurriedly, saluted everyone in Yeyouguo, and pointed to the empty seats graciously.

"§※&◎￠￡＊沭{." The black-faced envoy was not happy, and was still repeating his own words stubbornly.

Mr. Lin also stubbornly handed them over to their seats, thinking that you should calm down a bit, why don't you just come to celebrate your birthday, and it's not an academic discussion, what are you so persistent about?

The black-faced envoy blushed, and the white-faced old man Lin blushed anxiously. When they were in a stalemate, a clear voice sounded: "My lord, what he said is that their highness princess has sprained her ankle and is still in the palace. Waiting outside the door, hoping that someone will come to meet you."

The eyes of the emperor and all the officials cast their eyes on the place where the voice came from. The handsome young man stood up shyly, smiled and spoke a barbaric barbarian to the black-faced envoy.

The black-faced envoy nodded repeatedly and let out a long sigh.

"Tell the imperial doctor to heal the princess of Yeyou Kingdom, and tell me to sit on the chariot and let the princess sit." The emperor finally understood what the envoy meant, and he was very relieved. Arranged generously.

The young son of the Jia family interpreted with a smile, and the black-faced envoy bowed to the emperor to thank him.

"Father, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. This young master of the Jia family is extremely smart, my son..." Yuan Chen looked at Baoyu who was gradually letting go in the palace with a smile in his eyes. Speak up on time.

The emperor hadn't seen Yuan Chen acting like a baby for a long time, and he was very satisfied. After laughing three times, he said loudly: "Jia Jie has a keen mind and a wide range of knowledge. From now on, follow the prince and study with him in the South Study Room. "

Mr. Zhu was overjoyed. Although Baoyu was famous before, the rumors were not very good. Today, he is fighting for face in front of all officials. Doesn't it mean that he is a good teacher and has cultivated a playboy into a talented person?Immediately led Baoyu to kneel in the center of the hall to thank him. Jia Zheng, who was outside, listened to the eunuch's decree, and hurried to the hall to thank him.

After paying homage to the emperor, according to the etiquette, Baoyu wanted to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he did not dare to be careless, so he knelt and kowtow respectfully according to the rules.

There were brisk footsteps coming towards her. After Baoyu knocked her head three times, she stretched out her hands and put them on her arms.

The joints are clear, white and slender, it is these hands that have fed him countless times with purple bamboo shoots, brushed rabbit fur, and... bathed him.

"You don't need to be too polite, you and I are about the same age, you can come from tomorrow." Yuan Chen lifted Baoyu with a cheerful voice.
