Deja Vu, Yang Family's Daughter Is Growing Up
Soon, the news that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to hold a banquet for his ministers and announce the marriage of the King of Han spread throughout the entire Ying Tian Prefecture.
This was also Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.
Since it was decided that this marriage was going to be a grand one, even on the day of the engagement, it had to be a grand one.
"I wonder which girl is so lucky to be with you?”
Zhu Li, who was waiting in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, was chatting with Zhuge Liang in his mind.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang came back, he found someone to busy himself with the engagement party at night. He had no time to care about him for the time being, so he was happy to be free.
"The daughter of Yang Qi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. I met her at the imperial banquet two years ago. At that time, it seemed that foreign countries had come to pay tribute, and his father had given a banquet to the ministers. At that time, the Ministry of Rites was the host, and Yang Qi was granted an exception to bring his daughter to the banquet.”
As Zhu Li said that, the image of a 13 or 14-year-old girl's delicate and pretty face appeared in his mind. She was a beauty that had not fully opened, but she was already in the embryonic form.
At that time, this girl had given him a rather stunning feeling.
His appearance was secondary. In his previous life, he had seen many beautiful women, so he had the ability to control himself.
However, from her eyes, Zhu Li could see wisdom and confidence. This was also a rare quality of ancient girls, which left a deep impression on him.
After two years, this girl must have grown even more beautiful.
Thinking of this, Zhu Li's heart actually surged with a trace of anticipation.
"Now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression of it. It's rare to see you so concerned about a woman. Do you like her?"
Zhuge Liang asked curiously.
"I don't really like him. After all, I've only met him once. Maybe she gave me a special feeling, different from other girls.”
"Moreover, as a prince, marriage is not something that I can decide!”
Zhu Li explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"At least you don't reject this marriage, right?”
Zhuge Liang saw through Zhu Li's thoughts and said with a smile.
At night, the Hall of Heaven's Tribute was brightly lit.
The civil and military officials had all received Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation, so they naturally did not have the guts to be absent.
The engagement banquet began at 10:00 pm, and the officials of the six departments had already arrived one after another.
Bureaucrats could be seen exchanging greetings everywhere in the hall, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
"Ninth Brother, let's wait for the banquet to start before going out. You're the star of the night, so go out and greet everyone first.”
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang took some time to look at the pile of memorials. He had already arranged the banquet, and other things were naturally handled by others. There was no need for an emperor like him to do it personally.
"Yes, Imperial Father."
Zhu Li responded and followed Eunuch Wang out of the study.
"Jiang Feng, bring some men to the front hall and keep an eye on the Han King's every move.”
After Zhu Li left, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Jiang He, who was hiding in the dark, and ordered him.
In the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, outside the main hall of the Front Hall.
"The Han King has arrived!"
With Eunuch Wang's shout, everyone's eyes focused on Zhu Li.
"Greetings, King of Han!"
"Greetings, Ninth Imperial Uncle!"
Even though the civil and military officials, including Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunyan, looked down on Zhu Li, they still had to pay their respects to him in accordance with etiquette.
Of course, while everyone was greeting him, there were also many scrutinizing gazes that were sizing up the Han King in front of them.
At this moment, Zhu Li was wearing a brand-new python robe. He stood at the gate of the Hall of Heaven Tribute, looking extremely heroic.
After all, he was the son of the Emperor. It was as if he was born with the aura of a king. Especially in this kind of setting, everyone could not help but have a strange feeling in their hearts.
This Han King seemed to be different from what they had heard in the rumors.
"There's no need to be so polite. Father is still reviewing the memorials. The banquet will begin at 10:00. Father will appear, so there is no need to be restrained.”
Zhu Li's words were quite appropriate, and at the same time, there was a trace of royal dignity, causing the officials to look at each other.
Was this really the Han King who was rumored to have a problem with his brain?
In the Eastern Palace, the two brothers, Lu shi and Zhu Yunwen, unconsciously frowned.
Although they did not like the King of Han, they still had many opportunities to interact with him in the palace.
In the past, the King of Han had always wanted to keep a low profile and would never show off in such an occasion. Today, he felt that the King of Han was a little different from usual.
Actually, it wasn't just them. Even Blue Jade, Chang Sheng, and the other officials revealed looks of surprise.
Zhu Li naturally noticed everyone's expressions.
Especially the wariness and fear in Lady Lu's eyes.
"It seems that Madam Lu is already wary of you. Is she afraid that you will snatch the throne from her man, Zhu Biao?”
Zhuge Liang's voice sounded in Zhu Li's mind.
"Among the princes, all the princes who could pose a threat to Zhu Yunwen have already become vassals, except for this prince.”
"As long as I don't leave the Ying Tian Prefecture, I won't be able to rest assured.”
Zhu Li didn't care much about this. It was already within his expectations.
"How much trouble can a woman cause?”
"I think Zhu Yunwen and his brother are getting more and more unpleasant to the eye. If we can't get rid of them as soon as possible…"
Right at this moment, Ying Zheng's voice rang out.
Zhu Li didn't wait for him to finish his words before he locked him in the small dark room.
He should not have let this fellow out. If he had known earlier, he would have locked him up for a few more days!
Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Li entered the main hall and came to the opposite side of Madam Lu and Zhu Yunwen. He greeted each other and sat down.
On the left and right of the throne were the Eastern Palace and the King of Han, while the other princes and ministers were arranged in front of a few tables on both sides of the hall in order.
As Zhu Li sat down, the atmosphere became lively again.
No one took the initiative to greet Zhu Li, and Zhu Li would not ask for a snub by chatting with those princes and ministers.
Zhu Li looked around. Most of the people present were princes and generals who had a certain weight in the court. The lowest grade was above the fifth grade.
The rest were the family members and children of these nobles and generals, most of them came to see the world.
Not long after, Zhu Li's gaze stopped at the table where Yang Qi, the Minister of Rites, was sitting.
In addition to Yang Qi, the Minister of Rites, there was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting obediently beside him.
As soon as Zhu Li saw the girl, he found that her bright eyes were also staring at him.
"Interesting. This girl actually doesn't have stage fright when she looks at you. Does she not know that you are her future husband?”
Sensing the curiosity and scrutiny in the girl's eyes, Zhuge Liang's voice rang out again.
"Senior Zhuge recognized it?"
Zhu Li also felt that the girl was interesting. The feeling of deja vu from two years ago appeared again.
That's right, it seemed familiar.
For some reason, Zhu Li felt that this girl was the same kind of person as him.
