Zhu Di returned to the harem with a heavy heart, although he had several young and beautiful concubines, but when he had something on his mind, he still liked to come to the queen's bedroom, only here, his heart could relax and rest. Starting

Zhu Di came to Kunning Palace, and before entering the palace, he heard a burst of laughter, childish and innocent, very lively, and his brows couldn't help but smile, knowing that his eldest grandson was coming. Zhu Gaochi and his wife often take their son to the harem to ask for peace, every time they sit in the city for a while, talk and chat with their mother, but the eldest son has probably been reprimanded more since childhood, Zhu Gaochi is more afraid of his father, and when he sees Zhu Di, he will be dumbfounded.

The old son, the eldest grandson, this is the most painful thing for the old man, Zhu Zhanji, this child is not only beautiful, but also clever and sensible, especially to please Zhu Di, the eldest grandson is here, Zhu Di's mood is much better, and the lines on his face have softened before he has entered.

"My daughter-in-law has seen my father!" As soon as the princess Zhang saw Zhu Di coming in, she rushed forward to give a salute, and Zhu Zhanji also jumped over, took his hand and said sweetly: "Hello imperial grandfather, imperial grandfather hug!" ”

"Okay, grandpa, hug!"

Zhu Di smiled, hugged his eldest grandson, and said to Zhang: "Get up, I've told you a few times, my own family, don't be so polite in the harem!" It sounds like criticism, but his demeanor is kind, although Zhu Di doesn't look down on his eldest son, he likes this eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson very much. Zhang is the daughter of Zhang Qicheng, the commander and the marquis of Pengcheng, who is clever and virtuous, treats people well, behaves quietly and harshly, especially respects the elderly, her filial piety is sincere, and she is not pretentious, and she is very favored by Zhu Di and Queen Xu. It is this Zhang family, in the original history of Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, orthodox six dynasties, from a folk woman to the princess, the crown princess, and then to the queen of the world, the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother, the children are both kind and strict, strict control of the mother's family, at home is a good wife and mother, in the court is a generation of virtuous queens, in her lifetime, the great eunuch Wang Zhen is afraid of her prestige serious and never dared to interfere in politics, was evaluated by later generations as "female Yao Shun".

With such a daughter-in-law, Zhu Di and Empress Xu naturally have nothing to pick.

As soon as Zhu Di looked up, he saw Ming'er again, and couldn't help but smile: "Ming'er is also here, you haven't been here for a while, although you are pregnant, it is good to move around, your sister has always missed you." ”

Saying that, Zhu Di's gaze moved to his queen's face, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this look. He and Empress Xu have been husband and wife for many years, and the two have always been in love, and he naturally knows what is wrong with his beloved wife, although Empress Xu also has a smile on his face, but he only glanced at it, and saw that his beloved wife was smiling, and her eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be tears faintly.

As soon as Zhu Di's heart moved, he became suspicious, but in front of Ming'er and his daughter-in-law, it was not good to ask what was going on.

Zhu Zhanji was held in his arms, playing with his beard while twisting twisted as if asking him to tell him the story of Bingge, Zhu Di couldn't help it, so he had to sit down with him in his arms, and told a story about his own battle outside the Saiwai and the capture of Hu Sheikh Lin Timur in a big battle in Checher, and Zhu Zhanji applauded when he heard it.

But after all, the child didn't have the sex to listen to a story, so he couldn't stay, and pestered his aunt and grandmother Ming'er to accompany him to fishing.

Zhu Di couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed: "You naughty boy, Baoqing has grown up, and the goldfish who didn't come to harm me is now changing you again." As soon as you come, grandpa's fish will suffer, hehe, go, go, look at him, naughty children, don't fall into the pool. Xiao Ming'er smiled and promised, and then took Zhu Zhanji's little hand and left.

Zhang hurriedly got up and said, "Father, Aunt Ming is pregnant, and my daughter-in-law can't rest assured, so let's take care of her." ”

Zhu Di said "ah", slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, I forgot about this stubble, now Ming'er is also a person who needs to be taken care of by others, okay, you go and take care of it!" ”

Zhang promised and left.

Zhu Di held his knees and glanced at Xu Hou, who happened to turn his head and seemed to be serving tea, which coincidentally avoided his gaze.

Zhu Di waved his hand, and the palace maids and chamberlains who were waiting in the hall immediately saluted lightly and all withdrew.

Zhu Di coughed and asked with concern, "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

As soon as Empress Xu's hand touched the teacup, she trembled when she heard it, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "What's on the mind of the concubine, don't be suspicious of the emperor." ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Queen, how many years have you and I been husband and wife?" Do you have any problems that I don't know? ”

He walked over, gently put Empress Xu's hand between his big hands, and said softly: "You have not been in good health in recent years, and once your head disease breaks out, it will be painful, but you can't think too deeply!" You are the queen of the world, what else in the world can make you distressed? If you have any difficult matters to decide, just say and listen to me! ”

Empress Xu avoided his gaze, gently withdrew his hand and said: "It's really nothing, it's just that I see that my grandson is so old, and I think that in the past, when the three brothers Gao Chi, Gao Xu, and Gao Shu were also at this age, they played together all day long in the palace, and they were like mud monkeys, provoking you to advocate fire, the three brothers defend each other, brothers and brothers, so affectionate, I suddenly felt something." ”

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he faintly understood, and couldn't help but say solemnly: "Does the queen have any ideas for insisting on the matter of storage?"

Empress Xu hurriedly left her seat and said respectfully: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the imperial examination, how dare the concubine disobey it." State affairs ...... "The concubine really doesn't want to participate, and she doesn't dare to interfere, but the three sons are all concubines' flesh and blood, and they don't dare to participate in state affairs and concubines, but when they think about family affairs, they can't help but be worried......"

Zhu Di didn't understand, frowned and said, "What is the queen going to say, why can't I understand?" ”

Empress Xu wanted to speak and stopped, but Zhu Di was not worried: "Queen! You are my Zhu Di's pillow person, a husband and wife who have been a husband and wife all your life, do you have anything to say? ”

When Empress Xu heard this, two lines of hot tears suddenly flowed down, and as soon as she put on her skirt, she knelt down in front of Zhu Di, and said with tears streaming down: "The concubine promised herself to the emperor, and she never asked for anything." There are only you and me here today, and the concubines have something to ask for, so I implore the emperor to read the love between you and my husband and wife, and you must promise me! ”

Zhu Di was greatly surprised, seeing his beloved wife crying sadly, he was very distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug each other, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up, you and I husband and wife, nothing can be discussed, how can you still do such a big gift, hurry up, get up!" ”

Empress Xu shook her head, her expression even more sad.

"The concubine just wants to ask the emperor for a companion!"

Zhu Di couldn't hold her, so he said in a loud voice: "You say it, why do you have to make this gesture." Xu Hou said: "The establishment of the prince is a major matter of the country, and the concubine is a woman, so she does not dare to intervene." The three sons are all born to concubines, and they can't talk about favoring anyone, as a mother, I just hope that their children will be peaceful and contented in their lives. No matter which child the emperor chooses to be the crown prince, the emperor has the emperor's considerations as soon as it is built, and the concubine has nothing to say, the concubine is just considered from the family, and I hope to ...... Hope ......"

Zhu Di was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet, and said in a loud voice: "Queen, you say, just say it, I don't blame you, I never blame you." ”

Xu Hou said faintly: "The concubine's headache has broken out in recent years, and it is getting more and more serious, and many famous doctors have been invited, and many prescriptions have not been effective, and the concubine is worried that she will not be able to serve the emperor for too long, and she will not be able to take care of our children all the time, so the concubine wants to beg the emperor, if the emperor appoints our eldest son as the prince, then it will be enough, Gao Chiren is kind and loving, and has always cherished his younger brother, so as not to cause any human tragedy."

But Gao Xu and Gao Suspicion ...... those two children"

Empress Xu sighed softly and wept: "Gao Chi is your eldest son, since the Zhou Gong Dingli, all dynasties and dynasties have established a long tomorrow, and now the emperor is devoted to Gao Chi's body, if you choose Gao Xu, it is nothing, but I am afraid that in Gao Xu's heart, the final cave is a disease." Since gradually becoming more reasonable, their brotherhood has gradually thinned, and the years of experience in the army have accumulated murderous spirit, and the brotherhood is even more ......

The concubine was worried, once Gao Xu ascended the throne, he would never allow his brother who threatened his throne, nor would he tolerate the child Zhanji, and at that time...... "Seeing Zhanji's carefree appearance today, the concubine felt physically and mentally, so she was sad." The concubine only hopes that if the emperor chooses Gao Xu, then he will think of a way no matter what, so that he can set up Gao Chi's family, or seal the vassal country, and keep them away from the Central Plains, or ...... "Alas! The concubine's body and mind are in chaos, and the woman's opinion can't think of a wise opinion, but this worry is still in the emperor's heart! ”

Empress Xu did reveal her true feelings, not because she listened to Ming'er and Zhang's words and deliberately instigated a tear offensive against her husband, but because Ming'er's words really moved her. Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, she knows the temperament and nature of her three sons, so she deeply believes that what her sister said, if it comes to such a time, such a human tragedy is not very likely to occur, but will definitely occur, and it is to shed tears.

Zhu Di listened to the queen's worries, and blurted out that "they were born to one mother, flesh and blood, if Gao Xu is elected as the crown prince, he will not use the means of trampling on his brother to get rid ......of future troubles", but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly swallowed back.

With his own will, can Gao Xue be his emperor with peace of mind? Zhu Yun instigated soldiers without soldiers, money without money, power without power, and he had never even touched the prince's side, and now he is not locked up in Fengyang High Prison, sent people to strictly guard him, and forbade contact with anyone? Gao Xu's eldest brother is there, and he has fought with him for the throne, and he has the support of so many courtiers, can Gao Xu really feel at ease?

And with Gao Xu's temperament, once he becomes the emperor, will he be afraid of brotherhood?

Zhu Di unexpectedly remembered a scene in the army in the past: Fang Xiaoru used a counter-plot, pretending to rebel against the prince, but in fact he wanted to use his hand to get rid of the lost Gao Chi, and he asked Gao Xu about Gao Chi's expression when he was hostage in Nanjing, and Gao Xu's words couldn't help but hit him with a chill......

Ming'er and Zhang's accompanied Zhu Zhanji to play by the pool, the fish rod that the child played with was simple, but the fish in the pond was easy to hook, and he could catch one soon, which made Zhu Zhanji lose the fishing rod, for fear that the fish would escape and be lost, so he pounced on it, held the fish in his arms, and jumped with joy, and the cute appearance amused Ming'er and Zhang's couldn't help but hide their mouths.

was having fun, Ming'er suddenly realized it, and looked back, but saw Zhu Di standing quietly under the palace porch, looking at them from a distance, his figure was still heroic, but Ming'er saw it in her eyes, and always felt a sense of depression, even though it was far away, she still taught her face......
