Chapter 7 First Encounter with Zhu Youxiao
Zhu Hao was surprised for a while when he heard this, and he was both a little looking forward to meeting the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also a little apprehensive. What I expect is that this is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all, and if he can have a good relationship with him as a child, then the future will definitely help him. And the worry is that if the two don't talk to each other, then I'm afraid he will be even more difficult in this huge palace in the future. Although he had already seen Zhu Youxiao last night, Zhu Youxiao at that time was in a coma after all, and he did not have any communication with him, for fear that he would not be able to have a common language with Zhu Youxiao.
However, as an acting school, Zhu Hao quickly had his own ideas, that is, four words to his liking, since Zhu Youxiao is a well-known carpenter emperor in history, then I will talk more about carpenter production with him in a while, I am not afraid that this Zhu Youxiao is not interested.
After making up his mind, Zhu Hao followed Wei Xiaobao in three steps and made two steps to the door, at this moment there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing outside Zhu Hao's door, dressed gorgeously, looking extremely noble, but the wooden expression on the young man's face was completely inconsistent with the temperament that this suit should set off.
Zhu Hao saluted the young man according to etiquette and said, "Brother Zhu Youzhen, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" May the prince be in good health! ”
Zhu Youxiao's face was still very wooden and said: "The imperial brother doesn't need to be polite, I came over to accompany the imperial brother on the order of my father, and the imperial brother came in." ”
Although Zhu Youxiao's words and etiquette were appropriate, the look of unconfidence in his eyes was still captured by Zhu Hao, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although this Zhu Youxiao is the prince and prince, but his father doesn't love his mother, and it is really not easy to live in this palace.
Zhu Hao, who is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, knows that this Zhu Youxiao himself is not the biological son of Empress Guo, but was born to a concubine of his father, who died suddenly soon after giving birth to Zhu Youxiao, and Empress Guo had nothing to do, so she raised Zhu Youxiao. The main reason why Empress Guo raised Zhu Youxiao was because Zhu Youxiao was the eldest son of Emperor Zhu Changluo of Taichang, and Empress Guo adopted Zhu Youxiao, so Zhu Youxiao became the eldest son, and it will be the prince in the future. This also explains why Zhu Youxiao's biological mother died suddenly, although the history of the Ming Dynasty is very vague, but Zhu Hao thought about it with his toes, all this must be inseparable from the old demon woman of Queen Guo.
Thinking about Zhu Youxiao's situation and experience, Zhu Hao couldn't help but sympathize with Zhu Youxiao, but he didn't show maturity that didn't match his current age at the moment, because Zhu Hao knew that when the prince came here to find him, he would inevitably follow the old demon Queen Guo's people to monitor, and if he showed his feet at the moment, it would be completely an act of death.
Zhu Hao stood up and smiled sweetly at Zhu Youxiao, and then said: "I'm tired of the imperial brother's worries, the imperial brother is all right, did the imperial brother bring a gift to the imperial brother?" Take it out and show it to the emperor! ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Youxiao's sleeve, showing great intimacy, but Zhu Hao's actions made Zhu Youxiao very unnatural, and he stammered a little: "That...... That, the Imperial ...... O royal brother! The royal brother came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts! ”
Looking at Zhu Youxiao's reaction, Zhu Hao also understood that his performance just now was a little too much, it seemed that before he crossed over, the relationship between his body and the cheap big brother was not very close, and his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy, but this only lasted for a moment.
Zhu Hao scolded in his heart: "Yaya! Lao Tzu cares if you had a good relationship before? Lao Tzu only knows that now he must hold his thighs as a cheap big brother, so that after this big brother ascends the throne in the future, he will lose the opportunity! Cheaper Wei Zhongxian's big eunuch! ”
Thinking like this, Zhu Hao immediately continued to pull Zhu Youxiao's sleeve and said, "No, no, Brother Huang, you must give a gift to your brother today, otherwise your brother won't let you leave!" ”
Zhu Youxiao was coquettish by Zhu Hao's brazen show, and he really didn't know what to do, so he could only carefully take out an item from his arms, so he was extremely cautious, and his eyes were full of reluctance, as if it was the most precious thing in the world, he handed it to Zhu Hao and said: "This is the most precious thing for the imperial brother, give it to the imperial brother today!" I hope the royal brother can like it! ”
Zhu Youxiao said and handed the item in his hand to Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao almost didn't throw it directly on the ground when he received it, it turned out to be a piece of wood. But if you look closely, you can see that a lifelike bird is carved into this piece of wood, spreading its wings, as if the bird will fly away if you are not careful.
Zhu Hao secretly sighed in his heart: "The Carpenter Emperor really lives up to his reputation, and the gift he gave to someone turned out to be a piece of wood!" This made Zhu Hao have to cry and laugh a little. To him, this thing is really just a thing to coax children, and it is useless at all.
However, looking at Zhu Youxiao's cautious appearance just now, Zhu Hao also understood that this woodcut was the most precious thing for Zhu Youxiao, of course Zhu Hao couldn't throw him directly on the ground, otherwise the atmosphere of brotherly harmony that he had worked so hard to create today would be completely destroyed, and at the same time, I am afraid that Zhu Youxiao would never have a good impression of him in the future.
Therefore, our new Oscar winner, Zhu Hao, started his superb performance again. I saw Zhu Hao holding the woodcarved bird in his hand, and ran in the yard ecstatically, shouting as he ran: "Chirp!" Chirp! Chirp! The birds are flying! Tweeted! Suddenly, he tripped his right foot with his left foot, stumbled and fell to the ground, and cried out, and then said, "I'm sorry! Sorry birds! It hurts you! As he spoke, he stroked the wood carving, and then continued: "The bird doesn't cry, and it will definitely not let you fall to the ground again in the future." As he spoke, he held the wood carving in his arms with teary eyes.
Zhu Hao's performance made Zhu Youxiao, who had been expressionless on the side, finally show a smile, he laughed and said: "Brother Huang, it's just a wood carving, he won't fall and hurt!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Zhu Hao up, and then continued: "The imperial brother didn't fall and hurt himself, right?" If the emperor's brother falls and is injured, his father will definitely punish the emperor's brother! ”
With tears in his eyes, Zhu Hao shook his head vigorously and said, "No!" Then after a pause, Zhu Hao continued in a miserable tone: "I just threw the little bird that the imperial brother gave me to the ground, I feel very distressed!" ”
Zhu Youxiao's face was warm and said with a warm smile at the moment: "It's okay, the imperial brother likes the imperial brother's gift, and the imperial brother is very happy!" ”
Zhu Hao nodded and said, "Brother Huang, which craftsman made this wood carving for you!" I want to ask for a few more! You tell Youjian, and Youjian also begs the craftsman to make a few more for Youjian! ”
After Zhu Hao's words were finished, the smile on Zhu Youxiao's face became even stronger, he coughed lightly, and then said, "Well, this...... It's made by the royal brother! If you like to go back to the royal brother to do a few more to send you! ”
After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Hao jumped up and said around Zhu Youxiao: "Really? Big brother, you are so powerful! You're really amazing, can you teach you? ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and his good impression of Zhu Hao also increased greatly, he was very resistant to Zhu Hao pulling his sleeve just now, but now he took the initiative to pull Zhu Hao's little hand, and the two brothers are like one person at the moment.
Friendships between children tend to come faster and more purely than friendships between adults, and as long as they are approved by another person, they can quickly become good playmates.
The two brothers happily started playing games in the courtyard, and at this time, a shrill voice came from outside the courtyard: "Your Majesty has a will!" His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and the Fifth Prince's Imperial Study are here! Chin this! ”
Zhu Youxiao, who was still smiling just now, after hearing this voice, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and turned to a panicked look, Zhu Hao saw this, and sighed in his heart, it seems that his father is really a great psychological burden for his eldest brother, Zhu Hao stretched out his little hand and shook Zhu Youxiao's hand vigorously to show comfort, Zhu Youxiao seemed to feel Zhu Hao's comfort, turned his head to Zhu Hao and squeezed out a smile, although this smile was extremely reluctant, But Zhu Hao also felt the kindness of his eldest brother.
To say that Zhu Hao did not plan to replace Zhu Youxiao and directly become the crown prince to inherit the throne before is deceptive, but after this day's contact, and at the same time Zhu Hao analyzed the pros and cons, he made up his mind that everything should go naturally.
Now he is still young after all, Queen Guo has the help of relatives behind him, and his mother is subject to Queen Guo in addition to his father's favor, whether it is in the court or in the palace, if he really replaces his eldest brother's crown prince, he, the prince, will definitely not live for three days, and he will die, just look at how Queen Guo treats her father's other sons. If it weren't for his mother's pampering by his father, and his mother's lack of ambition, I'm afraid he would have died in the hands of that old witch.
It seems that his own safety in the future will depend on this cheap big brother, after all, if nothing else, according to the normal historical process, his father will travel west this month, Zhu Hao has the heart to change all this, but after all, he is still too small in this palace now, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse the situation, so Zhu Hao made up his mind to have a wave of dogs, and the last person who can eat chicken is the one who will finally win! Who cares whether your process is brilliant or a dog search, what the world ultimately sees is nothing more than the result.
On the way to the study, Zhu Hao made up his own follow-up policy, but Zhu Hao didn't think that his decision today would help him in the future.
Later generations have poems:
Emperor Chongzhen rarely had a mind, and the holy name is still there.
I don't care about right and wrong, and I am not afraid of the process and eventually become a talent.
