Zhu Gui looked carefully and saw Concubine Guo Hui sitting aside sobbing as if frustrated.
"I originally could stay with me for three years, but I didn't expect..."
Zhu Gui also understood Concubine Guo Hui's mood and comforted her: "Concubine, my son has grown up, and it will be a matter of time before he goes to the feudal land."
"But..." Guo Huifei looked distressed.
Zhu Gui smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, my sons and ministers are all getting married and know how to take care of themselves."
Hearing these words, Concubine Guo Hui was slightly startled, sighed, and her eyes turned red again.
"Your father is also cruel. That girl from the Xu family is arrogant and domineering. My son is so well-behaved. If he marries her, he will definitely suffer a lot in the future. Wuwuwu..."
The corner of Zhu Gui's mouth twitched. Although Xu Miaoqing was arrogant and domineering, she was also an inefficient lamp.
Thinking of the pride in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes when he left the hall, he was sure that this was the old man's intention!
…
Early the next morning, an imperial edict was issued, and the thirteenth prince Zhu Gui was renamed the acting king and became a vassal immediately!
Because they were driven out of the feudal vassal by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Gui's team was not as majestic and generous as other princes.
There was only a solitary pony carriage.
Sitting on the rickety carriage, Zhu Gui opened the curtain and raised her face to breathe in the fresh air.
A group of people came out from the palace, which made the people talk a lot.
"Hey, isn't the person in that carriage the Thirteenth Prince?"
Some of the people watching recognized Zhu Gui.
"What is the Thirteenth Prince doing out of the palace at this point?"
"Hey, you don't know, right? The Thirteenth Prince was talking back to the Emperor, and he was driven away and became a vassal."
Hearing the gossip outside the window, Zhu Gui didn't take it seriously, happily lying on the lap of the maid arranged by Concubine Guo Hui, and drove towards the fiefdom of Yunzhou.
However, some people are happy and some are sad.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Zuhui, looked sad as soon as he came to court that day, and sighed: "Oh, my second sister will have a hard time in the future."
Mrs. Xu frowned, her face as pretty as gelatin showing some confusion, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Duke Guo of Wei told the court one by one what happened this morning.
He let out a long sigh and said: "The Thirteenth Prince dares to speak to the Emperor like this in the palace. He has had a violent temper since he was a child. Now he has no one to care about him in the fiefdom!"
"If the second sister marries her, she may suffer a lot. The acting king is definitely not a good match!"
In fact, Wei Guogong was right. Historically, Zhu Gui was indeed inactive and violent after arriving in the fiefdom, and he did not have a good attitude toward Princess Xu.
What the two talked about inside was clearly heard by a girl outside the house.
The girl's skin is as white as snow, her eyes are as bright as black gems, and her facial features are exquisite. Although she is young, she already looks stunning.
Xu Miaoqing pursed her lips and complained, "It's so annoying. The eldest sister can marry the young and promising King Yan, but I have to marry this idiot."
Within a few days, the Xu family became the object of ridicule in the city. The king was far away in the feudal territory, and only the young lady of the Xu family in front of him was regarded as a target.
After returning from the outside, Xu Miaoqing angrily smashed the room and vented the grievances she had suffered during the day.
Mrs. Xu was not happy about this marriage either, because during this period, the Duke's mansion was ridiculed.
Now he is tied to this idiot, and he dared to contradict the emperor at a young age. If Zhu Yuanzhang is angered again in the future, the Xu family will also suffer.
"The Thirteenth Prince is considered useless. He is going to Yunzhou to fend for himself. Will Miaoqing also follow?"
Mrs. Xu bit her red lips and said angrily, "Now our Duke of Wei's mansion has become a joke. Otherwise, let's just forget about this marriage."
Wei Guogong waved his hands, with helplessness on his resolute face, "Do you think we have the final say in this marriage? The marriage was granted by the emperor. Even if you want to regret the marriage, it must be the emperor's will!"
The Thirteenth Prince was demoted, but then he regretted his marriage. Isn't this just jumping on Zhu Yuanzhang's head?
An emperor can despise his own son, but if he shows disdain as well, it's not because he thinks he has lived too long.
"Then what do you want to do?" Mrs. Xu tugged on her sleeves and whispered to Duke Wei, "Tomorrow you request an order to send a team of people to Yunzhou immediately to help repair the palace."
"After the repairs are completed, send her there. If Miaoqing stays here for one more day, others will have to laugh at our Duke's mansion." Mrs. Xu curled her lips and left.
Xu Miaoqing was lying by the door and ran back to the room when she heard Mrs. Xu's voice.
She grabbed her handkerchief and bit her lips, feeling chilled in her heart. Her brother and sister-in-law, who used to care so much about her, turned out to dislike her because of their reputation.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable and aggrieved she became, and Xu Miaoqing's hatred for Zhu Gui deepened.
On the second day, Duke Guo of Wei submitted a memorial and requested that someone be sent to Yunzhou to supervise the renovation of the palace so that the prince and princess could get married as soon as possible.
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little regretful in the past two days. Zhu Gui took nothing with him. He didn't know when the palace would be repaired when he went there, and he couldn't bear to help him. It would be better now. Since Wei Guogong requested the order, he asked him to send someone.
Do it.
The Duke of Wei immediately sent his second son Xu Yingxu to lead people to Yunzhou.
A few days later.
Xu Yingxu, who was wearing a flying fish pattern gown and a strong figure, was dumbfounded when he looked at the desolate scene in front of him.
"My lord, do you really live here?" he asked in surprise.
He could swear that this was the worst palace he had ever seen.
"Haha, don't worry about it, General Xu. My yard inside is still well maintained, and I'm not in a hurry outside." Zhu Gui chuckled.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to repair it, it’s just that he doesn’t have the money!
Xu Yingxu rolled his eyes and was speechless. King Dai had never thought of repairing the palace to marry the princess, but the Xu family was very anxious.
"You came just in time." Zhu Gui narrowed his eyes and smiled and hugged Xu Yingxu, "General Xu, if my guess is correct, you are here to help me repair the palace, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yingxu, who was sitting aside, had a stiff expression and nodded.
"I wonder how much money General Xu brought?" Zhu Gui asked with a smile.
Xu Yingxu was dumbfounded again.
I'm just here to help you live, it doesn't mean I have to pay for the repairs myself!
However, when Zhu Gui cried for a while in front of him, General Xu saw the shamelessness of the dignified king for the first time.
In desperation, a letter asking for help was sent to the Duke's Mansion.
