Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the beautiful female doll in front of him, although he was puzzled, he nodded charitantly: "Get up." After speaking, he looked at Ah Xiu: "Madam, what is this?" Ah Xiu bowed: "Back to the prince's words, this is the doll that the concubine saved in the hands of the traffickers today, the concubine and her fell in love with her, so she was accepted as a righteous daughter, and gave her a nickname called Chenghuan, hoping that she can be Chenghuan in the future." If the prince does not dislike it, the concubine will ask the prince for a name on behalf of Chenghuan. ”

"Cheng Huan Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan knees. Good intentions! This doll's eyebrows and eyes really look like a lady. In this case, Cheng Huan will change to a big name! Give the surname Zhu, and the general specifications of Shan'er. What does Madame think? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to Hui Lan's surprised look and said gently. Ah Xiu was naturally happy, Zhu Yuanzhang said that Chenghuan and Shan'er are of general specifications, Shan'er is a grandson to the outside world, and Chenghuan is also a grandson's specification. Here Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mention Zi'er, which is tantamount to pointing out Zi'er's identity in front of everyone, and even wiped Huilan's face and gave Ah Xiu a prestige, how can Ah Xiu not be happy?

"Now that the prince has opened the golden mouth, the concubines will thank the prince for his kindness." Ah Xiuying bowed down. "Madame is gracious. Now that everyone is here, I will say one more thing, and you have all heard it clearly: Xiuying is my original partner, the only princess in the palace, and my wife Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, and my wife and I swear to live and die together. For example, the matter of receiving a righteous son and a righteous daughter, although it is a major matter in the eyes of you and others, it is a family matter in the eyes of this king. I said earlier that the lady has the final say on all the affairs in the house, and the meaning of the lady is the meaning of the king. This king has already said that the lady has full authority to handle the affairs of the house, and there is no need to ask this king. Are you clear? Zhu Yuanzhang helped Ah Xiu up and shouted to everyone.

Everyone in the courtyard, including Lian'er and Huilan, hurriedly saluted together: "Follow the instructions of the prince!" We are all at the mercy of the princess! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, asked his subordinates to move two chairs out, and deliberately helped Ah Xiu to sit down first, and then sat down by himself: "Madame, although you can handle affairs now, this king will listen to it." After speaking, he asked Ying'er to take a soft cushion for Ah Xiu's waist. Ah Xiu bowed her head and answered, pulled Cheng Huan, and hugged her and sat on her lap: "Now that the prince is here, I will also ask my sister in front of everyone, why are you teaching people in my room?" The words seemed to be angry but not angry, but the voice was cold and majestic. Lian'er looked at Huilan and Ah Xiu, and saw that today was unusual, and she didn't dare to speak out to persuade her, but she muttered in her heart.

Seeing this situation, Huilan gradually saw that it seemed that Ah Xiu had sued her, and she was angry and anxious. She thought: A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, whether the beating is true, or should he confess first, so she lowered her eyebrows and gave a salute: "It's Huilan who is rude." It's just that this girl who waits for the young lady is too anxious, and she dares to argue with me, Huilan was angry for a while, and she forgot the rules before she started to teach the slave. Please also ask Madame to forgive Hui Lan. Ah Xiu smiled lukewarmly and nodded: "Since that's the case, I don't blame my sister." It's just that Mei Xiang, although the child is young, is still sophisticated and knowledgeable, she is protecting her master, and there is nothing wrong with her, but her sister said that she was wrong, but she was wronged. ”

"Mei Xiang, come here." Ah Xiu beckoned, "Although you are young, you know the protector, and I should reward you." In the future, Chenghuan will be your master, and you will serve carefully. After speaking, Su Xin rewarded her with a month's worth of silver. Mei Xiang hurriedly thanked the reward and took it and stepped aside. With a smile, Ah Xiu lowered his head and asked Cheng Huan on his lap: "Cheng Huan, you came to sue Sù Niang, why are you crying, and how is your face swollen?" Cheng Huan pursed her lips, wanted to cry but held back, and was about to tell her mother about her grievances, but Hui Lan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly distinguished: "Sister forgive her sins, just now Hui Lan doesn't know that Cheng Huan is Madame's daughter-in-law, she almost knocked me down......" "Shut up!" Ah Xiu interrupted her with a cold face: "I'm asking about Cheng Huan, I only believe that children don't lie, what are you anxious to distinguish?" Afraid I've wronged you?! The prince is here, I will never let you speak! Zhu Yuanzhang saw Huilan's abruptness, and thought to himself: When did Huilan start to become so sophisticated? It seems that no matter how many concubines there are, there is only Ah Xiu who has a confidant. Thinking of this, he coughed and glared at Hui Lan. As a result, the heart of the concubine is despised.

"Yes! What my sister taught me was that Hui Lan listened attentively. Huilan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not good, and quickly admitted her mistake. Ah Xiu ignored her, looked at Cheng Huan and nodded with a smile, and asked Cheng Huan to answer what he said just now. "I heard Mei Xiang Juyun and the two sisters say that my mother is the biggest in this house except for the prince, I wanted to ask my mother if it was true, and I ran into this lady when I was in a hurry......" Cheng Huan sobbed, looked at Huilan, and then looked at Ah Xiu. Ah Xiu glanced at Huilan and nodded gently at Cheng Huan: "Cheng Huan, don't be afraid, go on, what about later?" "Then I fell, and as soon as I got up, the lady slapped me twice and made me kneel." Cheng Huan blinked his big eyes, there were still small teardrops on his eyelashes, and he pointed at Huilan pitifully and said.

Huilan's face changed suddenly, and she wanted to explain, but when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang staring at her, she was a little more angry, so frightened that she could only lower her head and be anxious. Ah Xiu didn't look at her either, just nodded comfortingly at Cheng Huan. Cheng Huan blinked, and cried aggrievedly: "Mother! Did Cheng Huan do something wrong? Cheng Huan apologized to his wife-woo-" "Cheng Huan is good, Cheng Huan doesn't cry." You're not wrong. Ah Xiu wiped her face with a handkerchief and coaxed her. Is that lady from the house? If so, why is it more dazzling than what my mother wears? Cheng Huan asked in a low voice, but the people on the steps heard it clearly. When Lian'er heard this, her face turned pale for a while, and she knew in her heart that Huilan had made a big mistake today, she was just wondering, Ah Xiu treated herself very well, why did she suddenly become estranged from Huilan today, and then thought about it again, she knew that it was Huilan who took it upon herself to alienate the young masters, so she angered Ah Xiu.

"Chenghuan, come." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and greeted Chenghuan. The little girl looked at the prince and looked at her mother, slowly slid off Ah Xiu's lap, and walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang took out a Hetian mutton fat jade eight-treasure jade pendant from his belt and handed it to Cheng Huan: "Take it, Cheng Huan entered the mansion today, and received the grievances, and my father rewarded you." Cheng Huan saw that the jade was as white and translucent as snow, and it was worn by the prince, so he didn't dare to take it, and looked back at Ah Xiu. Seeing Ah Xiu nodding, Cheng Huan knelt down and saluted and took it: "Cheng Huan, thank you, Daddy!" Zhu Yuanzhang helped her up, stuffed the jade pendant into her little hand, picked her up, put it on his knees, and said to her gently: "Chenghuan is a good child, no wonder your mother loves you!" You're right, your mother is the biggest lady in the house, and the one who beat you is the aunt in the house, she is not sensible, so don't learn from her. ”

"Lord, I'm ......" Hui Lan wanted to say something with an embarrassed face. That's enough! You've said enough today! Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted her impatiently, "Give Chenghuan an apology." Huilan was startled, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief, as if she didn't know this man: "Lord Wang? "Didn't I say that clearly enough? I want you to apologize to Chenghuan! Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Huilan coldly, "What?" Do you want me to be clear?! His voice was even colder, and even Ah Xiu was secretly taken aback. Huilan didn't give up, and she was brave enough to open her mouth to say something, but when she saw Lian'er winking at her frequently, she had to shut up again.

"Although you are the king's concubine, your current position is the grace given to you by your wife. This king said that Cheng Huan is the regulation of Miss Yan in the house, since you hit her, shouldn't you apologize? Do you still want this king to call the shots, really strict, according to the family law, let people slap your mouth? Zhu Yuanzhang got up and stood behind Cheng Huan, and his tone was full of tiger power. Hui Lan was so frightened that she fell to her knees. There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone lowered their heads in fright, arched their bodies, and did not dare to come out. Lian'er also lowered her head at this time: Huilan, who was so smart in the past, has the courage to argue with the prince today, although she is the biological mother of the son, she should avoid suspicion and humility, and the wife and concubine are different from each other, so why should she be bored by herself? That's it, now that she is here, if she doesn't do what the prince wants, I'm afraid she will make a shame.

What a ruthless prince, such a poisonous lady! The son whom I have worked so hard to give birth to is now your heir in your name, and now he will humiliate me like this? Thinking of this, Huilan gritted her teeth and said weakly: "Cheap concubine Huilan, I have made amends to Miss Chenghuan." After speaking, Huilan shed a tear in humiliation: I hate that I was deceived by you that day and gave you the child! Even if the mother and son can't recognize each other, I will take them to relax, and they will be given color! One day, I'll get back what I deserve! A hundred years after the prince, Biao'er and I will not be able to recognize our relatives with blood, and then the mother will rely on her son, and then find an opportunity to repay today's shame, and preach that you are in the right position but have never come out, robbing other people's heirs of the ugly thing!

"Sister, get up. It's all my own family, since I apologized, let's forget it. What does the prince think? Ah Xiu did enough to play, gently greeted Huilan up, and respectfully asked the prince for instructions. Zhu Yuanzhang also dissipated his anger a little and nodded: "It's not too early, let's disperse!" Let the people pass the meal, and this king will accompany us here with his wife today. Just as he was about to enter the room, he turned to Huilan and said, "Send back the rocker in your room." You've worked hard today, and you don't have to come out for a few days. Seeing that his wife is so generous, and she still follows the rules every day, you should also learn a little, so that you can read the female precepts and the female analects. "Don't meet with Madame's children until you change your ways, lest you teach them badly." After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and entered Ah Xiu's room.
