Chapter 6 The Prince, Grandson, and Fourth Uncle

On New Year's Eve, Queen Ma was happily preparing lunch, which was a 'family banquet'.

He will be five years old after the Chinese New Year, which is naturally a relatively young age.

Holding his little sister Zhu Yue in his arms, Zhu Xiongying teased the little girl, "Yue'er, would you like to kiss your royal brother?"

Zhu Yue was very disrespectful and stretched out her little hands to push away Zhu Xiongying's face, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.

"Xi'er, please give me a kiss, brother." Looking at Zhu Xi who was looking at him eagerly, Zhu Xiongying said, "Brother Huang likes Xi'er the most!"

Zhu Xi immediately ran over and kissed Zhu Xiongying happily with her lips pouted. Zhu Yue was unhappy this time. This was her royal brother. She could not kiss him, but others could not!

Zhu Xiongying was very proud. It is normal for children to compete for favor. There is no need to be surprised at all.

Zhu Biao was a little amused, and then he said, "Ying'er, I haven't seen you hug Yunxi either?"

"Yunxi can't do it, he's too young." Zhu Xiongying said matter-of-factly, "What's more, he is a boy, and all the men in the Zhu family are heroes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting aside and looking at his children and grandchildren, immediately became happy. Sometimes he also felt that his prince was a bit weak. After all, he was a disciple of Confucianism and had a somewhat honest personality. Our eldest grandson is good, tough and decisive!

The crown prince's concubine, Lu Shi, was a little uneasy. If she hadn't taken care of Zhu Xi, Zhu Yue and Zhu Yunxi now, she, the crown prince's concubine, would not be qualified to participate in such a family banquet.

In fact, the Lu family was originally very grateful to the Crown Princess, because her ancestors were descendants of Lu Wenhuan, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu Wenhuan later surrendered to the Yuan army and killed many people, and then surrendered to Lu Ben's generation.

This also caused Zhu Biao to look down on her. It was because the Crown Princess was kind and caring that she allowed her to gain a foothold in the East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen watched eagerly. Zhu Yunwen, who was almost two years old, could usually see his prince father. But the emperor's grandfather and the queen's grandmother were rarely seen.

After the happy family banquet was over, Mrs. Lu took Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue away reluctantly, but Zhu Yunxi did not wake up.

Seeing her eldest grandson sleeping on the couch, Empress Ma sighed, "Chongba, have you seen it?"

"What did you see?" Zhu Yuanzhang said rather irritably, "You have to see it or not see it. Our eldest grandson is sensible and courteous. If you don't want me to worry, we have to pretend not to know! Don't say anything, we

They are all pretending to be confused!”

Empress Ma felt even more distressed, "How can a child of such a young age be so thoughtful?"

During the lunch just now, Zhu Xiongying paid tribute to his imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother, and of course the prince Zhu Biao. He thanked the prince's concubine Lu Shi very respectfully and thoughtfully for taking care of his younger brothers and sisters.

In fact, even Zhu Biao could tell. During the entire lunch, Zhu Xiongying only ate a few bites of vegetarian food. But he coaxed his younger siblings to eat more and coaxed his elders to be happy.

Empress Ma remembered something and asked, "Zhengsi, how did you arrange it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said matter-of-factly, "We will take our children and grandchildren to send the ancestral tablets to the Ancestral Temple for worship. Our grandchildren will naturally go. We went before, and we will go even more now! We have thought about it, our Ying'er is the legitimate son and eldest grandson, and he and

Biao'er is holding the memorial tablets of our parents."

Queen Ma was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this appropriate? Those people in the Ministry of Rites want to talk too much!"

"Talk too much?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "This is our family matter, I have the final say! The second and third sons have already signed a vassal status, and the fourth brother is about to sign a vassal status. It just so happens that our eldest grandson can be worshipped."

Empress Ma was silent for a moment and then said, "Chongba, you have also seen what happened today. That Lu family is quite gentle. It makes sense not to continue to appoint the crown princess now. You said that if Biao'er ascends the throne, the harem will not be able to

Without a master, a queen will be established sooner or later."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then said, "That's right, we are afraid of this when we think about it. You said that if Lu becomes the queen one day, her heir will also be the legitimate son. We are Beacon'er, and our Ying'er will be the emperor's grandson.

.But now that Lao Chang is gone, it is difficult for the Chang family boys to take on the responsibility, and our Ying'er also lacks support."

When Empress Ma was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang patted his thigh and said, "Wait a minute, we have already established a rule to establish a direct descendant. If we are going to leave, we will first establish Ying'er as the emperor's grandson, which will save those people.

Nonsense!"

Zhu Xiongying woke up after squinting for an hour. With the help of the maid, he took a bath and changed clothes, and then put on his crown clothes.

Mianfu, naturally, is a kind of formal dress, which is worn during major ceremonies.

In fact, four days before the main ceremony, Zhu Xiongying bathed and changed clothes every day, and he and his imperial grandfather and father went to the Zhai Palace to clean themselves every day to show their sincerity.

According to the ancestral teachings of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, the eldest son of the crown prince is the grandson of the emperor, and the second son and concubine are all granted the title of county king at the age of ten.

So now Zhu Xiongying is just a ‘grandson’, he is not old enough, so naturally he has not been canonized yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang is walking like a dragon and a tiger, wearing twelve crowns, a big fur coat, and black clothes. The upper part is painted with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects, and the lower part is embroidered with algae, fire, rice, and zong.

There are six chapters of Yi, Fu and Fu, totaling twelve chapters.

Zhu Biao also came, with Jiuzhai crown and Jiuzhangfu. Dragon, mountain, Huachong, fire, Zongyi, Fenmi, 黼, 黻.

And Zhu Xiongying's Ba Qia Mian Qi Zhang Fu, Hua Chong, Huo, Zong Yi, Zao, Fenmi, Fu, Fu.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood. He looked at his children and grandchildren and said, "Let's go, follow us to the Fengxian Palace."

Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, but then Zhu Xiongying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Chen has something to report."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Get up, get up and talk!"

Zhu Xiongying slowly said, "Your Majesty, my mother and concubine have passed away, and it is time for Sun Chen to pay her respects."

"Bastard!" Zhu Biao became unhappy and immediately said, "Your mother-in-law will be incense in my Zhu family's ancestral hall."

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Biao and said slowly, "I know, but Sun Chen wants to go to the Kaiping Palace after the year, and I hope he will allow it."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at Queen Ma, who nodded slightly. They had said in private before that at this time of year, the grandson would definitely want to mention this matter.

"Ying'er, this makes sense." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly, "Let's go to the palace when you are in the second year of junior high school. Your mother is gone, but your uncle is still here. It is also the rule for the nephew to visit his uncle. Then, let us

A guard of honor will send you off."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Father, that is too much of a courtesy. If the father gives Ying'er and Chang family dignity, he can issue an imperial edict and let Ying'er pass by the prince's guard of honor. The boy has prepared some gifts.

, Father and Queen will give you some more. If you are worried, send a few more caring people to follow you."

Queen Ma immediately laughed and said quickly, "Okay, okay, I've also prepared some cloaks and vests for Ying'er to send over."

Zhu Yuanzhang led his son and grandson towards Fengxian Hall, and then Zhu Biao led Zhu Xiongying to stand in a proper manner.

It's interesting to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely a workaholic and a triathlon champion.

Zhu Xiongying's thirteenth uncle Zhu Gui is only less than half a year older than Zhu Xiongying. His fourteenth uncle Zhu Mei is two years younger than Zhu Xiongying and is said to have just been weaned. His eighteenth uncle is just one month old. But his nineteenth uncle,

It's possible to be born right before your eyes.

Because the second brother and the third brother had already joined the feudal dynasty, Zhu Di became the oldest among the princes except the prince.

Although he was unwilling to do so, he still stood behind his grandson obediently.

Facing his father, Zhu Di did not dare to have the slightest idea. In front of his imperial brother, Zhu Di was also an extremely well-behaved and good brother. Now he just thinks about joining the vassal, and he just wants to go to Yan to live freely and lead troops to fight.

Zhu Xiongying suddenly spoke, turned to Zhu Di and asked, "Fourth uncle, has the date for the vassalage been determined?"

Zhu Di said with a smile, "Not yet! My eldest nephew, if the fourth uncle becomes a vassal, go and play with the fourth uncle!"

Zhu Biao turned around and glared at Zhu Di, "Please behave yourself, the queen! If you dare to imitate your second and third brothers, you don't need to be dealt with by my father, I will deal with you first!"

Zhu Di shrank his neck and did not dare to speak, so he could only nod his head obediently.

The second eldest son, Zhu Fang, was smart and brave in his childhood. He only became a feudal lord in May this year. As a result, he built a lot of construction work in the palace, wasting people and money. He had just let himself go when he was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The third child is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has beautiful eyes and a beautiful beard. Gu Yan is powerful. On the way to the vassal, he whipped the chef for trivial matters.

As a result, he was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the chef was in charge of food and could punish him at will for fear of being poisoned. He reprimanded Zhu Fan and said that when he was trying to bring peace to the world, he punished everyone who made mistakes one by one, but he had not done so in the past twenty-three years.

Dare to blame the chef "Xu Xingzu".

Zhu Xiongying also searched for this Xu Xingzu for a long time, but could not find his shadow.

"Fourth uncle, let my younger brother come to the palace in two days. I am the elder brother, and I should also see my younger brother." Zhu Xiongying showed an innocent smile and said to Zhu Di, "If the fourth uncle wants to become a vassal, I don't know when I can see him."

younger brother."

Zhu Di's eldest son Zhu Gaochi was born in Fengyang Mansion this summer. Zhu Xiongying still wants to see this 'fat brother'.

Zhu Di nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, if Gao Chi returns to the capital, he will naturally let his grandson take a look."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly and then said, "Silence!"
