Chapter 14 Old Zhu's Suspicion
Chapter 14 Lao Zhu’s suspicion
After finishing his political duties, Lao Zhu hurried back to Kunning Palace.
Seeing the queen weaving and seeing the youngest daughter listlessly making needlework, Lao Zhu looked around and asked, "Where is our great-grandson?"
"We went to the East Palace. Yunwen beat Yunxi and he passed." Queen Ma said, and then immediately said, "Don't think too much, it's just a child's play."
Of course Queen Ma knew very well what kind of person Lao Zhu was.
Maybe at this time, Lao Zhu has already imagined a big drama.
For example, there is no crown princess in the East Palace now. It is Lu, the concubine, who is in charge of the affairs of the East Palace. Although Zhu Yunxi grew up in front of Lu, after all, he would not be a parent-child like Zhu Yunwen.
If, if Mrs. Lu wants to sit upright, if Mrs. Lu does not keep her peace, her son will become arrogant. This is also very possible. After all, it seems that Mrs. Lu is the most likely to be promoted as the crown princess.
Yes, she is very likely to be the next queen.
As for the East Palace at this moment, Zhu Xiongying held a wicker in his hand and looked serious, "Tell me, what is the fight about?"
Zhu Yunwen was only four years old, and would burst into tears when his mouth dropped. Zhu Yunxi was only three years old, and he didn't understand why his brother, who was usually so kind to him, would be cruel to him.
Mrs. Lu forced out a smile and said, "Great grandson, it's Yunwen who wants to steal Yunxi's rattle just because he's one year older."
"Rattle?" Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, and then asked immediately, "I remember that the thing I gave Yunxi didn't have a rattle. Yunxi, are you trying to steal the second brother's rattle?"
Zhu Yunxi burst into tears immediately, and Zhu Yunwen was too frightened to speak.
"You are brothers and have grown up together since childhood!" Zhu Xiongying was angry, looking very angry, "Especially you, Yunxi, who made you so pampered and proud? Why do you want your second brother's things?
Seize?"
Zhu Yunwen seemed to have come to his senses at this time and said cautiously, "Brother Emperor, I don't know how to be humble. I should be taking care of my third brother."
"We'll talk about your business later. You should be humble and take care of your younger brother!" Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yunwen and said seriously, "But you have to remember, what is yours is yours, and that is not what you need to be humble!
"
Lu's heart skipped a beat. She always felt that these words were told to her by her grandson.
In fact, Ms. Lu felt bitter because she was a concubine. Speaking of which, the status of a concubine was not low. Normally, in addition to the crown princess, there were two concubines.
But in the final analysis, this is the 'concubine'. The grandson of the family is a legitimate descendant and has entered the ancestral temple. Even if the concubine is an 'elder', she does not dare to put on airs in front of the grandson.
After giving Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi a good lesson, Zhu Xiongying treated them equally as much as possible.
After reprimanding his two younger brothers, Zhu Xiongying left with his two younger sisters. He took his two younger sisters to dine. As for the two naughty younger brothers, they can't write now, so they had to stand in the penalty room and face the wall for half an hour before going in.
meal.
As soon as Zhu Xiongying left, Zhu Biao came back. He didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to say anything about the second and third sons being punished.
He is familiar with these routines. This is how he disciplined his younger brothers back then. These younger brothers and sisters were basically educated by Zhu Biao, so in the minds of the younger brothers and sisters, Zhu Biao's status was not generally high.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi stood for half an hour before going to the side hall to eat.
Although they had just been taught a lesson by Zhu Xiongying, the two children also cried a lot. But now, they immediately started to eat again and played happily with their brothers.
After all, they are just three or four-year-old children. Even though royal children are generally precocious, they are still children in the final analysis.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen who was laughing and joking, Zhu Xiongying just smiled: As long as I don't die, there will be nothing wrong with you!
Lao Zhu was flipping through the memorials absentmindedly, looking outside the palace door from time to time. The lamps were already lit, why hasn't our great-grandson come back yet?
Suddenly he heard the noise outside, and Lao Zhu immediately laughed. His eldest grandson was finally back!
"Grandpa Huang, Grandma Huang." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile as soon as he entered the palace, "Xi'er and Yue'er were crying, so I put them to sleep before they came back, which made Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang worried."
Empress Ma smiled and said meaningfully, "I'm not worried. My grandson will not lack someone to take care of him even if he is in the East Palace."
Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu with a smile, and Lao Zhu had nothing to be embarrassed about. In front of the prince, he occasionally pretended to be a strict father, but in front of his grandson, he would no longer pretend. He was a kind grandfather.
Lao Zhu was in a good mood and asked casually, "Great grandson, what do you think of today's events?"
"Ouyang Lun may have become a little arrogant because he just qualified." Zhu Xiongying said his analysis seriously, "After all, he is still not ambitious enough and has no structure. Once he gains power, he becomes rampant."
Old Zhu was amused, and then said, "You bastard, you know that's not what we're talking about!"
"Grandpa Huang, how much trouble can be caused by just two brothers fighting around." Zhu Xiongying was also happy, but also said a little helplessly, "Yunwen and Yunxi are both good children, how can they cause so much trouble."
Queen Ma also said at this time, "It means you are worrying blindly."
This made Lao Zhu unhappy, and said with some worry, "We are fifty-one years old, how many more years of good life do we have?! If we kick our legs, who will look at our eldest grandson! Biao'er won't say anything now
, there’s no guarantee that Mrs. Lu won’t nag her in my ears in the future.”
"Ying'er will be ten years old in two days. If you elect him as the grandson of the emperor!" Empress Ma was not polite and insisted directly, "Your ancestral precepts have also stipulated that he will be appointed as the grandson of the emperor at the age of ten!"
Calculating, there are still three years left, but this is also a relatively quick thing.
Zhu Xiongying was also worried that the old couple would continue to quarrel, so he quickly asked, "Grandpa Huang, what should I do about my aunt's marriage?"
"You are the only one who is troublesome!" Lao Zhu nodded Zhu Xiongying's head and said angrily, "We can't get off the stage now. Your imperial grandmother will be nagging in our ears all day long."
Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's okay to nag now, but it's not good if your aunt is asking someone to blame you. If you ask me, it's better to find someone who knows the basics."
"You three, don't be too troublesome. I'll take care of this matter." Empress Ma interrupted Zhu Xiongying and said directly, "You all know the important matters of the imperial court, and you won't let any of these things happen."
It saves people worry.”
Zhu Xiongying was aggrieved. This time, the emperor and the prince looked away. What did they do to his great-grandson?!
Seeing that Zhu Xiongying went to bed, Lao Zhu did not go to the other concubines to rest.
"Sister, how many things do you think our Ying'er has hidden in his heart?" Lao Zhu tossed and turned and said with some worry, "We believe that our grandson can be a good emperor in the future, but we are worried that he is too tired."
Queen Ma was a little funny, but also a little strange, "Although you dote on Biao'er, you are not afraid of Biao'er suffering. How come you are like this when you come to Ying'er?"
"I guess it's because we are getting older and our hearts have softened." Lao Zhu thought for a while and said with some emotion, "Ying'er has been sensible since he was a child, and we like him too. After all, this is our grandson!"
Empress Ma actually also understood that in Lao Zhu's eyes, Prince Zhu Biao was his biological son. In other words, Zhu Biao was Zhu Chongba's son. As for the other heirs, they were the sons of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and their emotions were different.
.
Aiwujiwu, Zhu Xiongying, the direct grandson, is naturally his biological grandson.
What's more, the intelligence and potential displayed by both Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying made Lao Zhu very satisfied. He had enough reasons to believe that the country he had worked so hard to build would usher in a prosperous age in the hands of his descendants.
Ming Dynasty will definitely be passed down!
Zhu Xiongying continued to play his good grandson, while his sister-in-law was named Princess Anqing and married Liu Bowen's eldest grandson, Liu Lian, the eldest son of Liu Lian, amidst Lao Zhu's blowing nose and glare.
This is also a 'coincidence'. Liu Lao is now twenty years old, but he first kept filial piety for Liu Bowen. Just after the filial piety ended, Liu Lao's father had a conflict with Hu Weiyong's party members and was coerced into falling into a well and died. Now the filial piety has just ended.
Although Lao Zhu disliked Liu Bowen very much, he still had to hold his nose and admit it.
Zhu Xiongying watched happily without making any comments. This Liu Lao should not have such an arrogant or short-sighted character.
The Three Kingdoms were established by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen unified the world.
Although Liu Bowen is a bit of a myth here, there should be no problem with his talent and learning, and there are too many stories about him.
Liu Bowen didn't see it. Looking at Liu Bowen's grandson, it shouldn't be too bad.
