The palace maids and eunuchs who were busy in the imperial kitchen did not know Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zhen.

Zhu Gaoxu and the two simply wandered around inside.

Seeing something delicious, Zhu Gaoxu winked at Guo Zhen.

Guo Zhen understood immediately and took them all away without others paying attention.

Then Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zhen slipped out of the imperial dining room.

Those palace maids and eunuchs didn't care about the two children.

Little did he know that these two people had already eaten and taken a lot of things.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, there are small bridges and long water corridors.

Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zhen were sitting in a pavilion. Guo Zhen looked around like a thief.

Then he took out the eight-treasure duck stolen from the imperial kitchen.

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately asked Guo Zhen to eat together.

While Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zhen were eating happily, Queen Ma became completely anxious.

During the Longevity Festival, ministers and envoys accompanied the emperor to celebrate the festival at noon.

The women and children were all entertained by Queen Ma.

When the dinner is held, everyone will attend together.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu did not go to Queen Ma at all because he and Guo Zhen were stealing food.

Soon Queen Ma discovered that Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zhen were missing.

After waving her hand, Empress Ma said to her eunuch: "Don't take this matter seriously. Send someone to look for it quickly!"

The eunuch nodded and immediately sent people to look for Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu and his two men had no knowledge of this at all.

At this time, the two of them were eating with their mouths full of oil. After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu and the two finally had enough.

Wiping the grease stains from the corner of his mouth, Zhu Gaoxu said to Guo Zhen: "I didn't expect that the son of Marquis Wu Ding would steal things like other thieves."

After hearing this, Guo Zhen rolled his eyes at Zhu Gaoxu, and retorted with the same unwillingness to admit defeat: "The Prince of Nanyang County is not that good, will he be the same as me in the end?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Looking at the sky, Zhu Gaoxu felt that time had almost passed, and immediately said: "It's almost time to change it back, otherwise the family should be anxious."

Guo Zhen nodded after hearing this.

Then the two of them walked towards one end of the corridor.

Before he had even taken two steps, a group of eunuchs rushed towards him.

After seeing Zhu Gaoxu and the other two, a group of eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, little ancestor, why are you two here?"

With that said, the eunuch hurriedly took Zhu Gaoxu and the two of them back to Queen Ma to return to their lives.

Queen Ma was currently entertaining the families of the ministers.

After seeing Zhu Gaoxu and the others, he nodded, and then lightly ordered to keep an eye on them and not let them run away again.

Zhu Gaoxu and the two were thus guarded by a group of eunuchs.

Fortunately, there was Guo Zhen beside Zhu Gaoxu at this time, which kept Zhu Gaoxu from being too bored.

The two were placed in a small courtyard by a group of eunuchs.

Guo Zhen sat next to Zhu Gaoxu and said: "I heard that His Highness will soon go to the north to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service."

Guo Zhen's tone was obviously filled with envy.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "A true man stands between heaven and earth, and he should make immortal contributions!"

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Guo Zhen's eyes brightened and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with admiration.

Then Guo Zhen plucked up the courage and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Let's set off tomorrow. How about His Highness taking me with him?"

"puff."

Zhu Gaoxu almost burst into tears when he heard Guo Zhen's words.

Guo Zhen is the beloved son of Marquis Wu Ding, although there is basically no great danger in this northern expedition.

But there are bound to be some acclimatizations along the way.

Don't wait until the end. There is something wrong with this kid, so he can't afford to take the blame.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately shook his head and said: "What's there to follow in the war? If you ask me, this time I went to the north mainly to fight against the little thieves. There's nothing interesting to see."

"When I go back to kill the remnants of the previous dynasty, I will take you with me. Then we two brothers will go into battle to kill the enemy together!"

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Guo Zhen obviously listened.

His eyes lit up, and Guo Zhen nodded seriously.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that Guo Zhen would say something shocking again, so he immediately said: "Just wait for me in the capital. When I come back, let's go hunting outside the city together."

When Guo Zhen heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, he held Zhu Gaoxu's arm hard, nodded and said: "Brother, you must press back together!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, thinking that he had finally been fooled.

Then, the two of them chatted about other things in the courtyard.

In the small courtyard, they chatted about their big dreams.

Because Guo Zhen is favored by his father, his mind is actually very simple.

After a few words, he was completely fooled by Zhu Gaoxu.

It can be said that he has an increasing admiration for Zhu Gaoxu.

And Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that his little brother would be so easy to deceive.

Seeing the light in the other person's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu felt a little guilty for the first time.

"Your Highness, are you really not lying to me? When I inherit my father's title as Marquis of Wuding, we will send troops to Korea together!"
