As soon as he stepped into the East Palace, Chang Luohua came up to him. His eyes were full of worry and grievance. When Zhu Biao saw it, he joked: "I have been kneeling for so long without speaking. Why are you aggrieved?"
Chang Luohua felt relieved when he saw that Zhu Biao was fine, but the grievances in his heart became more and more. When his eyes were red and his nose was sore, he was about to cry. He just thought about having so many slaves watching, so he held it back. But this way
It's even more aggrieved.
The pregnant woman was emotionally unstable and Zhu Biao did not dare to provoke her anymore. Chang Luohua wanted to help her in person, but luckily he was stopped by someone on the side. After a while of fussing, Zhu Biao finally entered the room and sat down. The maids and eunuchs serving in the East Palace each
His expression was serious, fearing that he might have made the slightest mistake.
Maybe it's because they are not used to it. They have been serving Zhu Biao for some years, but this is the first time that something like this happened. No one thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would have a conflict with the Holy Emperor.
It would be perfectly normal if this happened to King Zhu Feng of Jin, King Zhu Feng of Chu, and others. Those princes have been punished to kneel since they were young, and everyone is used to it.
He went into the house and changed into regular clothes before asking the imperial doctor to come over for examination. It was actually not a big deal if he opened his trouser legs. It just looked like there were some bruises and swelling, but it still frightened Chang Luohua.
The imperial doctor relaxed after seeing it, knowing that there was something like a cushion in advance, otherwise it would have been more serious than it was now. It was no joke to have to kneel for several hours, not to mention the prince's delicate body and expensive body.
Liu Jin sent the imperial doctor out, and Zhu Biao sat on the couch and asked, "Didn't I tell you this when I left in the morning? Why did I go out of my way to ask for help from my mother? This kind of thing will be inevitable in the future, so don't worry about it. Peace of mind."
It’s just about raising a baby.”
Chang Luohua just said hurriedly: "Why is it still necessary? Even if your Highness has something to do, you should discuss it with your father and how you can contradict him again."
Looking at the nervous Crown Princess Zhu Biao, she felt a little helpless. As the saying goes, a pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. It is indeed true. My Crown Princess is usually very smart and has high political acumen. She is also able to face the imperial wives with ease. Why?
Have you become stupid recently?
I can only hope that the child is not stupid, and I hope that Chang Luohua can change back after giving birth. Otherwise, it will be tiring to talk to her. Zhu Biao never likes to speak clearly, but there is nothing he can do when facing his own princess.
After explaining a few words, Liu Jin came over to report: "All the princes and princesses have sent people to visit, and the three princes, King Jin, King Chu and King Qi, even came in person."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "You can go and get rid of those who are here to visit. Just say that I am not seriously injured. As for the second son, they will take them to Wenhua Hall first. I will go there later."
Liu Jin accepted the promise and left. Zhu Biao thought for a while, and Chang Luohua said softly: "When I went to see the mother and queen, the princes and princesses also came, and together they begged the mother to go to the father to intercede."
Zhu Biao nodded with a smile and helped her lie down: "I know what's going on. You don't have to worry. You're tired after a long day. Just rest."
As soon as Chang Luohua touched the pillow, his eyes became half-closed, but he still muttered a few words stubbornly. Zhu Biao ignored her and patted her gently a few times before falling asleep completely. Looking at her, he became more and more confused.
With soft eyebrows, he suddenly felt that it would be good to just let her be stupid all the time.
After watching it for a long time, Zhu Biao lowered his knee gently. The ointment from the imperial doctor was very effective. His knee now only felt a burst of coolness, and the swelling and pain were gone.
Walking slowly to the Wenhua Hall, the three brothers of the Zhu family hurriedly greeted him. Before Zhu Biao could speak, the second one scratched his head and said, "No, it doesn't look like you have been kneeling for several hours. Last time the three of us just
I couldn't walk after kneeling for more than two hours. It took me a night to regain my strength. Why is my brother so fast?"
As soon as these words came out, the other two people also reacted. Zhu Di said with an incomprehensible expression: "I heard that there are many people kneeling in Fengtian Hall, so the eldest brother must not have the chance to get up and move..."
The third child also answered: "I can smell the ointment, it's the same as the one the imperial doctor prescribed for us last time..."
(￣▽￣““) When did you three become so smart? Can you still be my stupid brother?
Zhu Biao didn't answer, and slowly passed through them and sat on the chair, looking like he was trying his best to maintain his dignity but it actually hurt: "I heard that you even led your younger brothers and sisters to the queen mother to plead for mercy, but it's not in vain to hurt me so much."
you."
The three brothers are not children, so naturally they will not chase after this issue, just joking. If others don't know, don't they still know what their eldest brother is capable of?
Unless necessary or planned in advance, his eldest brother would never use this method. Even if he really wanted to save the young children in the families of criminal officials, he did not need to force himself in the court. This kind of trivial matter that has nothing to do with the overall situation is not a random operation.
The three brothers bowed politely before sitting down. The second brother said: "Where there is no need for us to lead, the older ones will go by themselves, and the younger ones will be taught by their mother and concubine. On the left and right is Xiang Kun."
Why not do something like lie down in front of Ning Palace?"
Zhu Biao smiled and stretched out his hand, but he didn't say anything. Zhu Ping's words were very clear. He shouldn't have said it because of his status. He probably wanted to express his position.
But it is indeed the case. This is why not do it. Anyone with any brains knows that the status of the prince cannot be shaken by trivial matters. How can you miss the opportunity to sell it? These princes and princesses will not be able to do it in the future.
You are not allowed to live off the prince.
Zhu Tie thought for a while and then said: "I shouldn't have told my eldest brother, it's just my uncle..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xiang's originally leisurely expression suddenly changed and he yelled: "Third brother!"
Zhu Biao guessed it as soon as he heard it. He was just involved in the case: "I am your eldest brother. We brothers can talk about anything. But you have to understand why my father is purging officials."
Zhu Tie sighed and continued: "My mother-in-law and my second brother will not let me ask for mercy from my eldest brother. It's just that this is my mother's clan. It would be uneasy if I didn't even ask for help."
Zhu Biao rubbed his knees and said, "I remember that your uncle worked in the Ministry of Industry."
Zhu Tie lowered his head and said: "The right minister of the Ministry of Industry has embezzled more than 3,000 taels of public funds. Although he has not been found out yet, it will be a matter of time. Just now, my grandmother entered the palace to explain her plea to my mother and concubine. Although my mother and concubine sternly refused in person.
, but after my grandmother left, she still cried bitterly, and finally went to ask to see my father, but he didn’t even meet me."
Zhu Ming looked cold and said nothing. Zhu Biao sighed and said: "Corruption of sixty taels is a capital crime, and embezzlement of more than a thousand taels is a crime punishable by execution."
Zhu Di still had a good relationship with his second son. He knew that although he was tough on the outside, he was still sad in his heart, so he started to plead for mercy: "It's just a shortfall of three thousand taels. It's different from the Ministry of Punishment. Can we make up for it immediately?"
After all, we are relatives, please help me, brother."
