Chapter 81 —Father and Son
"He can't go back with you."
Zhu Biao was painfully pondering how to refuse, when he heard this voice like a heavenly sound, he "brushed" and turned his head, and saw that the door became ajar at some point, and there was no one in the courtyard when he looked out of the steps, even the middle-aged man who was supposed to be guarding the door was gone.
He was amazed for a moment, and then he noticed the shadow of the ground—someone stood behind the door, the long shadow lay flat on the ground, stabbing diagonally across the threshold, almost touching his feet.
Zhu Biao's heart moved, and before he saw the person turn to the bright light, he had already guessed who it was.
…………
……
"Squeak-yah-", the door was pushed open from the outside, Zhu Di stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, perhaps out of the habit of soldiers, his spine was straight all the time, even if it was his father, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
He didn't walk into the door, and he didn't seem to have any intention of saluting the emperor, he and Zhu Biao, the ugly and handsome uncle, the three of them stood in a straight line very delicately, but the shortest Zhu Biao was stuck between these two powerful men.
Looking from the top of Zhu Xiaodi's head, he could probably meet the eyes of the third person, but Zhu Di and the ugly handsome uncle looked away at the same time.
What to do? Zhu Biao trembled, Zhu Di said the word of refusal instead of him and suddenly appeared, the ugly handsome uncle instantly became quiet, but his quietness was not compromise and concession, Zhu Biao clearly felt that the countless steel strings that were being stretched in the air seemed to be tense to the extreme and break apart in the next second!
What will happen? Zhu Biao peeked at the ugly and handsome uncle, and the other party finally slowly raised his eyes to look at Zhu Di, his eyes flashed quickly, and the two small ones present couldn't see the complicated feelings in between, and when he wanted to look again, he had already narrowed his eyes into a dark and deep depression, the brilliance was restrained, and the majesty that people didn't dare to look at directly.
Zhu Biao stole a glance at Zhu Di again, this look he had also seen in the four princes.
Zhu Di grabbed his little eyes that ran away quickly, his eyebrows gathered slightly, and he stretched out a hand towards him: "Come here." ”
He didn't say that Zhu Biao would also pass, almost the moment he saw Zhu Di stretch out his hand, he had already spontaneously lifted his leg, without thinking about it, he stuck to the fart and put his hand into Zhu Di's palm.
When he saw the four princes, he was not afraid at all, the sky fell and the four princes supported him, and he didn't want to enter the palace and the four princes helped him...... Strangely, in his heart, the four princes and the royal family seemed to be separate and unrelated, and the royal family was still terrified by the unknown, and it might be full of crazy neurosis like the twenty-five princes; The four princes are good anywhere, trustworthy, and full of security.
Yes, Zhu Biao Huoran woke up and figured out why he didn't want to admit his marriage to the ugly handsome uncle, and he didn't want to go back to the palace with him, because he knew that there was no sense of security he wanted.
After he crossed over, he tried his best to find a sense of security in this strange world, because his body was too weak, he had to pin his sense of security on other strong people and the power that could make him stronger, from Bai Changqi to magic, he went with the flow, confused, and didn't understand why he wanted to be close to someone and why he was willing to be ravaged by him, even if he complained that Bai Changqi didn't treat him as a friend, even if he didn't know how to teach himself, even if he lacked tuition, he still used the excuse of passing the time to persuade himself to insist on learning magic......
It wasn't until he and the Four Princes met again that he had the good fortune to "save" Zhu Di and become the commander of the light pole named the head of the magic department, and from then on, he clearly knew that Zhu Di had included him under his wing, and a man like the Four Princes, even if he didn't have the noble status he has now, he could protect anyone he wanted to protect.
He got the sense of security he dreamed of, so he was obedient to Zhu Di these days, listening to his words and raising a baby anxiously, even throwing magic aside.
Therefore, whether it is the prince's father or the emperor's grandfather, he doesn't like it! He is satisfied with his current life, he doesn't want to change the existing one, he is not the real Ming Dynasty that Zhu Biao, he has no blood affinity with the emperor, nor has he cultivated any feelings, if you want to say that for the sake of profit, it is too troublesome for him to be the head of the magic department from the fifth grade, where do you dare to think more. Yes, he is so unproductive, he would rather be the younger brother of the fourth prince than change his court and mix with the emperor!
Zhu Biao's mental activity is abundant, but in reality, only a few seconds have passed, Zhu Di held his hand, calmly met the gaze of the ugly handsome uncle, and said steadily: "The DNA does not match, the Zongren Mansion will not recognize his identity, does Your Majesty want him to be attacked by the civil officials?" ”
It's coming, it's coming! Zhu Biao lost his mind for a moment and came back to life, and finally heard the word "Majesty" from the mouth of the fourth prince, and was 100% sure of the identity of the ugly and handsome uncle...... Why isn't it exciting at all? He was obviously very excited every time he saw Kangxi Weifu reveal his identity in a private interview or Huang Ama appeared to save Xiaoyanzi...... Well, it must be because there is no background music.
Zhu Biao hooked his head, soundtracked in his heart, pricked up one ear, heard the ugly handsome uncle snort coldly, and the tone was like two people when talking to him: "Do you think I can't protect him?" ”
"I don't dare."
"You've dared."
"The minister is terrified."
Zhu Biao: "......"
Hey, where did the two crappy actors come from, they are not involved at all, and they are not distracted by the lines at all! Ugly and handsome uncle...... No, the emperor said a sentence to the top of the four princes, which literally seemed to show weakness, but in fact, he didn't even fight, and he didn't have any fireworks to reads. What's even more unreasonable is the emperor, the four princes are such a provocation, ordinary people's irritable fathers can jump up and fan their sons all over the ground, but the emperor who is famous for his bad temper is steady, it seems that the person in front of him is not even qualified to lose his temper with him, and he can only hear coldness, coldness, or coldness in his voice.
The emperor turned around and paced two steps, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look up, he walked with his hands behind his back and looked very similar to the four princes when he wore national uniforms, but the four princes always had a straight spine, but the emperor's upper body leaned forward slightly.
He remembered the first time he met the emperor in the imperial city, and he was also pacing in the shade of flowers and trees with such a posture, Zhu Biao guessed that he might be making poetry at that time, but now, now he doesn't dare to guess.
The Emperor paced for a few steps before stopping, obviously having made a decision, he was a resolute and heroic man, he had always been good at weighing the pros and cons, and rarely let his rational judgment be affected by emotion.
This "very little" has always been only because of the prince.
What Zhu Di said is reasonable, the emperor himself can dictate to the officials, but Zhu Biao can't stand the trials and tribulations of those hypocrites, just if the news leaks out, the whole country will be shocked rather than happy...... He didn't mean to take Zhu Biao away immediately when he came over today, but when he saw his face like a prince and hugged the young man's body into his arms, the emperor felt in a trance that it was the prince who had returned, and it was the son he couldn't find all over the world who finally returned to him......
Even if Zhu Di didn't say anything against it, the emperor would soon come to his senses and make a new decision, and Zhu Di came, appearing just right, pointing out his mistakes, as if Zhu Di was always right, and he was just an old and mediocre old man.
The emperor sneered in his heart.
He walked to the door and said to Zhu Biao with a pleasant face: "You will serve in the Guoshu Academy first, and grandpa will come to see you another day."
He paused, as if remembering a trivial matter, and said casually: "You like to learn magic, and the head of the magic department should also be, that is, this level is inevitably a small family, and it is fortunate to enter from a white body, since it is already a lucky entry, it is better to do it in one step...... What do you think of the Baron? ”
Male male male baron!! Zhu Biao's legs suddenly softened, and he was about to kneel on the spot, but fortunately, Zhu Di still held his hand and lifted him up.
The emperor patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, and said in a flat tone: "Although the Ming Dynasty is not a family with one surname, in the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family can act recklessly. ”
This is the snake spirit face Wang Ding's words to sarcastically mock the royal family just now, and the emperor really heard it, and the words that came out of his mouth were obviously intended to slap his face, and the most terrible thing was that he didn't even mean to say cruel words when he spoke, so it was taken for granted, and it was an understatement.
Zhu Biao was directly stunned, the emperor laughed, walked into the patio with his hands behind his back, and the servants and guards scattered everywhere immediately gathered over, and dozens of people instantly appeared in the empty courtyard just now, making people wonder how they did it, which is a miracle.
The middle-aged man who didn't look like a servant at all was also in the crowd, and glanced over this side from afar, Zhu Biao looked up along his line of sight and found that he was looking at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di ...... Zhu Di's eyes stared at the emperor's back, seemingly expressionless, but the corners of his lips were tightly pursed at some point.
"Hiss......" Zhu Biao's hand was suddenly pinched by him, and he instinctively screamed in pain, but Zhu Di beside him didn't hear it.
The middle-aged man and other servants guarded the emperor and left calmly, the emperor did not look back, his height was not comparable to the four princes, but at a glance, everyone would see him first in the crowd.
He is the focus of everyone's gaze, and his attention is stingy and refuses to leave a point for those he deems unworthy.
He didn't say goodbye to Zhu Di.
