Zhu Di originally thought that he would go to Beiping to make a big difference, but who knew that he was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb. He didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his mind and sent someone to inquire in the palace, only to know that it was actually from Ma Xiuying's meaning, but the fundamental reason was because his mother didn't want him to suffer.

He asked Li Qi'er with great resentment, "Why did the mother concubine say those words to the queen, the child is eager to make meritorious achievements, not to stay in the middle and make no achievements." He respected Ma Xiuying as his mother before and after, but this time because of the anger in his heart, he became estranged from Ma Xiuying.

Although Zhongdu is good, it is not the place where he intended to stay. The producer of Zhongdu is like the capital, and officials at all levels are staring at everything he does, reporting layer by layer, how can he lead a group of his subordinates to gallop freely on the frontier. And if he has his own subordinate army in Beiping, it is justified, but in Zhongdu, if the army under his command exceeds 30,000, I am afraid that someone will have to tell Zhu Yuanzhang. It is no wonder that all kinds of systems will make Zhu Di feel uncomfortable.

Li Qi'er said that she said to Ma Xiuying in her early years that she hoped that Zhu Di would live a safe life, but she rarely talked to Ma Xiuying over the years, let alone instigated Ma Xiuying to instruct Zhu Di not to go to Peking in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. I don't know what Ma Xiuying suggested, I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry that day, and later she wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang several times to show that she had nothing else to think about, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused to see her. Seeing that Qingtong was a little eunuch who dared to nostril at her, she knew how unpopular she was with Zhu Yuanzhang.

The hateful Ma Xiuying! Li Qi'er clenched her fists and said sadly: "Di'er, the mother concubine does hope that you will live a safe life, but the mother concubine also understands your thoughts, and the mother concubine and your brother are counting on you in the future, how can they stop your thoughts." Not only did she not stop it, but she also did many things behind Zhu Di's back, but these things can't be told to Zhu Di now.

Needless to say, the mother and son understood what they meant to each other. Zhu Di's eyes flickered, and he muttered: "Then why did the queen let her father send the child to Zhongdu?"

Could it be that his mind was detected by Ma Xiuying? Impossible, he has always concealed it well, even in front of Li Qi'er and Zhu Hu, he never mentioned it, even if Li Qi'er guessed his thoughts, he didn't really admit it, how could Ma Xiuying detect it?

"It's all the mother's fault, she may be angry with you because of the mother's concubine. Li Qi'er angrily talked about how she stimulated Ma Xiuying to vomit blood, and told Zhu Di about Ma Xiuying and Daoyan's past, and complained: "Do you say that she and Daoyan can be innocent? If the two of them really have nothing to do, how can she be angry like that for an outsider?"

Zhu Di couldn't hear Li Qi'er's sour tone, glanced at her strangely, looked away and said: "Mother concubine, she is the queen after all, how can you do that? And she has always been wise, how can she not guess your intentions." You do this, alas...... The child is too big to obey the order to go to the central capital, but the child is worried about your situation in the palace in the future. ”

Li Qi'er showed remorse, she had been safe with Ma Xiuying for many years, but as soon as she saw Daoyan's attitude towards Ma Xiuying, she couldn't help but be jealous, and some words were said directly without going through her brain, it didn't matter if she was snubbed by Zhu Yuanzhang herself, she was used to it anyway, but now she has also involved Di'er.

Zhu Di asked, "The child heard that Daoyan was punished by the palace?"

He was rarely in the palace, and everything in the palace was hearsay, if he hadn't sent someone to inquire about the news, maybe he wouldn't have noticed Dao Yan's existence. He couldn't help but have a trace of interest in this monk in his heart, which could make the queen vomit blood for it, and make the mother concubine never forget, this person was a little interesting.

"If it weren't for her, Dao Yan wouldn't have suffered this kind of sin. Li Qi'er was hateful and angry, and her jealous face was fully revealed, completely forgetting the remorse just now.

Zhu Di immediately admonished: "Since Dao Yan is already a eunuch, you must not say anything about him and the queen in the future, if this is heard by my father, I am afraid it will bring trouble." And also...... Since he is from the queen's side, you should try not to deal with him, lest the queen dislike him...... The child went to the central capital, no better than the capital, you must take care of yourself. ”

He almost said directly, Dao Yan is a wasted person, you can't put your mind on him, or think about how to deal with Ma Xiuying and live a good life in the palace.

Hearing this tactful admonition, Li Qi'er's cheeks were feverish, and she replied curtly: "The mother concubine knows." ”

While the mother and son were talking about Ma Xiuying and Dao Yan, Ma Xiuying and Dao Yan were also talking about them.

Dao Yan asked, "You let King Yan go to Zhongzhong because you don't want him to control the vassal forces?"

There was nothing to hide in front of Dao Yan, Ma Xiuying nodded and said: "Yes, every prince will have his own subordinate officers and troops after becoming a vassal, and I don't want Zhu Di to have these." Regardless of whether that dream will come true or not, I will take precautions and remove his power. ”

Dao Yan shook his head and said, "Since you are so worried, it is better to solve it completely." If it's inconvenient for you, I can let the wooden dragon give birth to them to do this. ”

It's hard to believe that such cruel words would come from Dao Yan's mouth, but Dao Yan has long been willing to fall into hell for Ma Xiuying, but he wants to help Ma Xiuying solve anything that makes Ma Xiuying unhappy or threatens Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying's face was worried, "That's it, after all, he is the child I watched grow up, and I really can't do it." Just detain him in the central capital and don't let him have a chance to develop. ”

"Alas, you're still too soft-hearted. Dao Yan let out a long sigh, but if Ma Xiuying was really the kind of woman with a vicious mind and selfishness, how could he like it.

The next day, Zhu Di made a special trip to meet Ma Xiuying, his attitude was very respectful, holding a box and kneeling down and saying: "Erchen wishes the queen mother's health is getting better and better, this is the century-old ginseng brought by Erchen from Liaodong, please accept the queen mother with a smile." ”

"Get up, you have a heart. Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Di complicatedly. To tell the truth, the most filial piety among the princes to her is Zhu Di, except for Zhu Biao, Zhu Di will give gifts every New Year's Day, even if he can't return to Beijing when he went out on the expedition last year, he also sent someone to bring her a fox fur coat to keep her warm. Of course, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di often give gifts to Ma Xiuying, but most of them are things that are not useful, and they will not be as careful as Zhu Di.

But he is Zhu Di, thinking of the Yongle Emperor recorded in history, Ma Xiuying's heart trembled, and her smile was unconsciously much lighter.

Sensing that Ma Xiuying was not as kind to him as before, Zhu Di felt more and more that Li Qi'er had annoyed Ma Xiuying, and he decided to go to Zhongdu to live a low-key life for a while.

So after the fifteenth day of the first month, the princes set off from Beijing, Zhu Fan went to Xi'an, Zhu Di went to Taiyuan, and Zhu Di went to Fengyang.
