One night in October 1363, when the sun had set, Zhu Biao personally sent his teacher Song Lian out of the Guogong Mansion, even if he had completed a day's studies.

I wanted to go back to my room directly, eat a bite to eat and read a book and fall asleep, but I saw that the big girl next to Ma came safely, saying that Mrs. invited him over.

As for Ruyi, she has already been married, and she is a pro-army general by Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

Xiao Zhu followed Ping'an towards the inner courtyard, where he now lives next to Zhu Yuanzhang's study, he specially asked Lao Zhu when he was six years old.

In front of him, he had peace and a servant with a lantern to light the way, and he was accompanied by two companions to protect him left and right, for fear that he would slip.

Just walked all the way into the inner courtyard, Xiao Zhu looked at the direction, not to go to his mother's room, this is to go to the hall in the backyard, presumably there must be something serious.

Before he could get closer, two maids came to greet him, Xiao Zhu asked a few words, it turned out that the women and children in the backyard had already arrived, and they were all waiting for him to get out of school.

When he arrived outside the main hall, he was not in a hurry to go in, took the hot towel handed by the maid, wiped his hands, and asked how Ma's appetite was in the past few days.

The hall was brightly lit, the air was filled with all kinds of fragrances, and everyone except the Ma clan stood up and prepared to greet the eldest prince in the mansion.

There were more than 20 women inside, some of whom had children pulled up their children, and those who had no children quickly stood up, waiting with their eyebrows lowered.

Ma sat on the top seat and picked up the tea, his eyes swept calmly, especially those with children.

Not long after, a noble young man walked in, his face was smooth and white, his demeanor was warm, his eyes were clear, and there was always a light smile on the corner of his mouth, exuding a calm and elegant atmosphere that only middle-aged celebrities can have.

Wearing a white robe embroidered with golden moire, it was woven by the best show girls in Jiangnan with fine silk, her long black hair was tied behind her with a gold ring inlaid with sapphires, and she wore a jade pendant of mutton fat jade Guanyin with red thread around her waist, and was surrounded by a group of maids.

When Xiao Zhu entered, he smiled and bent down to his mother and said, "Son, meet his mother."

Straightened up slightly, and bowed his hand to those women, "I've seen your aunts."

Those women also hurriedly returned the salute, "Concubine waiting to meet the eldest prince"

Eight-year-old Zhu Fan led his younger brother Zhu Li, and the Qi family pulled the young Zhu Di and Zhu Hu out to salute, "Brother meets brother." ”

Zhu Biao showed a soft smile on his face at the four younger brothers, "Okay, good, let's go to dinner"

"Let's sit down, let's sit down, Biao'er will come and sit too, my mother asked the kitchen to make you your favorite eight-treasure balls, rouge goose breast and chicken pith shoots"

Everyone sat down, Zhu Biao sat next to Ma's, below were the two brothers Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, as for Zhu Di and Zhu Lu were still young, they were eating next to their mothers, and the other concubines were on the other table.

The main seat on the left is empty, and that is Zhu Yuanzhang's seat.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Ping'an glanced at his wife and went to arrange the dishes, the kitchen dishes had already been prepared, and he had been waiting for Zhu Biao to get out of school.

Zhu Biao saw that his mother didn't mean to speak, so he turned around and asked about his younger brothers' homework, Song Lian is now teaching Zhu Biao, and Zhu Lian and Zhu Di are taught by Song Lian's apprentice.

These two are not studious, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang is not in the house, he will fish for three days and dry the net for two days, always thinking about playing.

After Zhu Yuanzhang returned home to inspect his sons' homework, he had to beat them, and every time Zhu Biao pleaded for mercy, so as to avoid the tragedy of the two of them being hung up and beaten.

In the early years, the Song family still thought that Zhu Fan was only one year younger than Zhu Biao, and if Zhu Biao did not become a weapon, his son would not have no chance...

But with the gap in reality, the Song family has long accepted their fate, and has taught their two sons since they were children, and they have to ask their eldest brother about anything, and if you don't listen to your eldest brother, no one will stop you if your father is killed.

The two children are not young, and naturally they also know the difference in status in the house, but the two of them think that they are right, not only are they not as good as the eldest brother in reading, but they are not as brave as the eldest brother.

Seeing that the father and the two couldn't even speak, and the eldest brother was still gentle and jade even in front of the angry father, he could always rescue the two brothers before they were killed.

These two have been Zhu Biao's true little brothers since they were children, and they have an inexplicable admiration for him.

Seeing the two of them talking about reading with bitter faces, Xiao Zhu is also helpless, this is whether to remember to eat or not, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang is coming back, I don't know how to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, read more books and take a few fewer beatings, it seems that I will inevitably be beaten again...

Glancing at Zhu Di with a flat gaze, Xiao Zhu never had the idea of getting rid of the future Yongle Emperor in advance, he was not afraid that he would not be able to suppress the other party.

As long as he lives, Zhu Di can only be the king of Yan forever, and if he really dares to rebel one day, he doesn't mind giving his younger brother a ride on the battlefield.

And he will also leave a secret hand in the future, if he still can't escape the fate of dying early, Zhu Di and a few ambitious younger brothers he is going to take it underground, Zhu Yunwen is not successful, but it is still possible to govern a stable world.

What's more, he doesn't just have that son, it's a big deal to have a few more, and leaving a good grandson to Lao Zhu is not in vain as a father-son relationship.
