It was already approaching dusk when Zhu Ying returned from the Gunpowder Department.
At this moment, in the Ming Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang also finished his busy day.
After dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang walked and came to Renzhi Hall.
He wanted to chat with his eldest son Zhu Biao.
After waving his hand and asking Liu He and other eunuchs to wait outside the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the Hall of Renzhi alone.
At Liu He's signal, the eunuchs serving in the palace bowed and exited.
As soon as he entered the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunzhen's brother, Xiang Yuanlu, kneeling in front of the coffin and reciting scriptures.
"What a good boy."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.
He did not expect that his grandchildren would come here every day to pay their respects after returning from the Imperial Palace Academy.
Hearing the sound, Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunzong came over. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, they hurriedly said:
"Grandpa Huang."
"Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yuanzhang came over, helped the two of them up, and said smoothly: "They are all good children. You come here every day, so you are not afraid?"
Zhu Yunzhuo searched and found Zhu Mingyue and replied: "Grandpa Huang, our father is here to protect us, how can we be afraid?"
Zhu Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then added: "My brother and I don't have a mother or concubine. Now that my father is gone, it's hard to sleep every night. Only by coming to pay homage to my father and queen can I go back and sleep peacefully."
Girls always mature earlier than boys.
Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunzhu were both born to Prince Zhu Biao's wife Chang.
Chang passed away and Lu became his stepwife.
Zhu Biao, who was busy with state affairs, obviously neglected his children a lot.
Mrs. Lu also has her own biological child, and she has a lot of thoughts about Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunzong.
Now that my father has passed away, you can imagine how he was treated.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhu Mingyue said, he felt a little guilty.
After all, they are his direct grandchildren, but he doesn't have much time to take care of them.
Looking at the coffin of his eldest son in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
Zhu Ying is their eldest brother, so it's time for that little brat to fulfill his eldest brother's responsibility.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the two of them: "In two days, I will take you to the palace to meet your eldest brother."
Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunzhuo were confused when they heard this.
After hesitating, Zhu Mingyue asked: "Grandpa Huang, our eldest brother, didn't he pass away long ago?"
Zhu Mingyue was born in the ninth year of Hongwu, and is only two years younger than Zhu Xiongying.
I have a deep impression on my elder brother in my memory.
When Zhu Xiongying died young, Zhu Mingyue was already six years old.
At that time, Zhu Xiongying was still very kind to his sister, with a willful attitude.
As a woman, Zhu Mingyue's status was relatively low. The rules in the palace were strict and she became sensible early.
Naturally, I understand what kind of status my eldest brother Zhu Xiongying had in the palace at that time.
He was especially pampered by Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang.
This kind of status cannot be replaced by anyone. Now Grandpa Huang suddenly said that he would take them to meet his eldest brother, which made Zhu Mingyue a little confused.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We also thought that your eldest brother passed away, but God has been kind to me. After ten years, your eldest brother is back again."…
"This..." When Zhu Mingyue heard this, she didn't know what to say.
Looking at Grandpa Huang's face flushing slightly, he looked a little excited.
Somehow, she suddenly felt scared.
Zhu Yun Ziyun Huicai subconsciously leads to the sister who lives upstairs.
I was timid at first, but behind me was my father's coffin, and all the maids and eunuchs had left, making it even more deserted.
Grandpa Huang suddenly said to take them to meet their dead eldest brother.
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit scary.
The two of them hugged each other and shivered.
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and saw his grandchildren looking like this, and then he realized that he might have frightened them.
He explained: "Don't think blindly, we are still fine. Your eldest brother is now opening a teahouse by the Qinhuai River and living well."
Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Have you eaten the breakfast the day before yesterday?"
Hearing this, Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunzi cried out.
As the princes and grandsons, they naturally have rich clothes and fine food, so they have no worries about eating and drinking.
But the breakfast the day before yesterday let them know what real delicacies of mountains and seas are.
"You have it, Grandpa Huang. That breakfast is so delicious. Is that the breakfast made by my eldest brother?"
Zhu Yunzhen was stunned and couldn't help but licked his lips and said.
In front of the delicious food, the slightly scary atmosphere disappeared, and Zhu Yunzhi seemed to be satisfied.
"That's right, your eldest brother did it earlier. Ten years ago, your eldest brother didn't die. Those damn quack doctors couldn't even detect fake death."
Zhu Yuanzhang explained.
When the two of them heard Grandpa Huang's explanation, their eyes lit up.
They have been studying since childhood and do not understand some of the rules of tombs.
Grandpa Huang would never lie to them, so when he said this, they naturally believed him.
After Zhu Mingyue heard this, she didn’t think much, but asked directly:
"Grandpa Huang, now that eldest brother is back, why haven't you entered the palace yet? I haven't for many years."
