The next morning, after Zhu Hao finished washing, he took Gongsun Ce to the East Palace, on the way Zhu Hao saw Gongsun Ce's eyes flickering, a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhu Hao couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gongsun Ce in confusion and said: "What is on Gongsun's mind, you might as well say it!" You don't have to keep it in your heart! ”

Gongsun Ce pondered for a long time before he said to Zhu Hao: "Your Highness's trip, the minister is a little worried!" ”

Zhu Hao's trip was to visit his eldest brother who had no scheming, and he was in a very relaxed mood at the moment, and when he heard Gongsun Ce say such a thing, he said with some doubts: "Oh? If Gongsun has any concerns, please just say it! You and I don't have to worry about talking! ”

Gongsun Ce listened to Zhu Hao's words, and directly said the concerns in his heart: "Your Highness, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the child of Queen Guo, and Queen Guo was almost abolished because we found out about the fire case, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince will be dissatisfied in his heart, and even avenge his mother!" On the surface, he is close to His Highness, and then finds an opportunity to harm His Highness again! Your Highness said that you can't have the heart to harm people, but you can't do without the heart to defend people! After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Hao a little nervously.

Zhu Hao laughed when he heard this: "Gongsun is too worried, don't say that Queen Guo and my eldest brother are only mother and son in name, even if they are mother and son, with the character of my eldest brother, they will not harm me as a brother!" Besides, my eldest brother himself and Empress Guo don't have such a good relationship, there will definitely be laughter and laughter on this trip, and there will be no conspiracy and trickery! After finishing speaking, Zhu Hao paused, patted Gongsun Ce's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Gongsun, you have a heart!" And he said no more.

Zhu Hao's seemingly simple sentence made Gongsun Ce speechless for a long time, after all, Zhu Hao and Zhu Youxiao are brothers, and what he said just now was suspected of sowing discord, but Zhu Hao's sentence just now, "You have a heart!" "Just let Gongsun Ce know that the adventure just now is worth it! Because Zhu Hao did not blame him, but affirmed his loyalty.

Although Gongsun Ce didn't know where Zhu Hao's confidence in Zhu Youxiao came from, after all, Zhu Hao was the master and he was a servant. Since Zhu Hao had already said so, although Gongsun Ce still had a strong look of worry on his face, he didn't say anything more.

Soon the two came to the East Palace, what Zhu Hao didn't expect was that Zhu Youxiao had already looked around outside the gate of the East Palace and was waiting for his arrival, Zhu Hao was far away Zhu Youxiao beckoned to him: "Imperial brother!" ”

Seeing this, Zhu Hao hurriedly ran a few steps, shouting as he ran: "Big brother! ”

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a few days, and they hugged each other tightly, and after a while, the two separated, and Zhu Hao said, "Big brother, why did you wait for the younger brother outside the door?" You are the prince, and the younger brother is the minister, how can there be a reason for the king to welcome the minister! ”

In fact, Zhu Hao's words were not said to Zhu Youxiao at all, because Zhu Hao knew in his heart that Zhu Youxiao would not care about these at all, but Zhu Hao knew that in this East Palace, there would definitely be a lot of eyeliner of Queen Guo's old demon woman, although he won a small game against Queen Guo, but it did not hurt the bones, and its power was still not to be underestimated, at least not something that he could compete with as a minor prince now.

If Empress Guo knew that Zhu Hao asked the prince to come out to greet her, I don't know what kind of moth would come out, Zhu Hao's strategy at the beginning was to avoid everyone's attention, develop forces carefully, and accumulate steadily! But Zhu Hao never thought that a palace fire case successfully attracted the attention of Empress Guo, and at the same time pushed him to the opposite side of Empress Guo, which made Zhu Hao have to be cautious now.

Zhu Youxiao heard Zhu Hao's words, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about, we are brothers, don't talk about the monarch and ministers, and I am not my father, in this case, don't say it in the future, I heard that Brother Huang has been helping his father investigate the case recently, I didn't expect that Brother Huang is so powerful at a young age, he will definitely be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty in the future, Brother Huang and I are not as good as you!" ”

If it is normal, a prince and an ordinary prince say such things, it is a reprimand, and it is definitely a test of whether this prince has a heart of disobedience. But Zhu Youxiao is different, what he said is very sincere.

Although Zhu Hao has a little pride in his heart for Zhu Youxiao's words, but as the saying goes, he can't have any joy at the moment, so he hurriedly said: "The eldest brother is the prince, the future monarch of the Ming Dynasty, don't say that, you say that the younger brother can't afford it, and the eldest brother can make such exquisite wood carvings, how can he say that he is not as good as the younger brother?" In terms of ingenuity, the little brother can't catch up with the talent of the big brother even if I shoot the horse! ”

In fact, Zhu Hao's words are just for those who have a heart, but when Zhu Hao talks about wood carving, Zhu Youxiao, who has always been very cowardly, has a confident look on his rare face, and it seems that he has a faint appearance of dominating the world.

The two brothers were chatting outside the gate of the East Palace, and behind Zhu Youxiao, a delicate-looking eunuch with a little bookish air on his body whispered to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's windy outside, the slave sees that you should go into the house and talk to the five princes!" The person who spoke was Wei Zhongxian, whom Zhu Hao had just met last night.

Zhu Hao listened to Wei Zhongxian's words, and said secretly: "No wonder my eldest brother in history would favor this person so much, this person is really very careful, and he is really different from ordinary eunuchs!" ”

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said, "Oh! Right! Xiao Weizi, if you don't remind the palace, the palace almost forgot that this is still outside, and it is windy outside, don't freeze the royal brother of the palace! After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Hao and said, "Look at the imperial brother, I am so confused!" Brother Huang, let's go back to the house and talk! You don't come to see the royal brother these days, the imperial brother is really boring! ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, this is all my fault for my little brother!" The eldest brother gave the younger brother such a beautiful wood carving, and the younger brother should have come to the door to thank him! ”

The two of them said this and walked to the East Palace, it was the late summer and early autumn season, the flowers in the East Palace were very luxuriant, and as soon as they entered the East Palace, they saw a piece of birds singing and flowers.

Just when Zhu Hao felt a beautiful scenery, the intermittent "squeak" sound destroyed the atmosphere of birds and flowers in this courtyard, and also destroyed Zhu Hao's good mood just enjoying the beautiful scenery, which made Zhu Hao frown.

Zhu Youxiao, who was walking beside Zhu Hao, seemed to notice Zhu Hao's abnormal expression, and said with a smile: "Imperial brother, did you hear the sound of the imperial brother's Linglong Pavilion starting?" This 'squeak' sound is really the most beautiful sound in the world! Brother Huang, do you like it too? ”

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, and there was a wave of anger in his heart: "This is the most beautiful voice in the world?" Bullshit! This TNND is noise, it's noise! Is there a bit of common sense? If you had put it before Lao Tzu crossed, you would have called the police uncle a long time ago and asked them to take you away for criticism and education, otherwise you wouldn't know why crabs live in the river in this society! ”

Although Zhu Hao despised Zhu Youxiao for a while in his heart, adhering to the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and being shameless, Zhu Hao still said very disobediently: "Good to hear!" I like it too, little brother! ”

Zhu Youxiao didn't know that Zhu Hao was against his will, and he wouldn't have thought that Zhu Hao, who still looked like a child at the moment, would be able to do it, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating when he lied, so he naturally believed Zhu Hao's words, and took Zhu Hao's little hand very happily and said: "Since you like it, brother Huang, then Brother Huang, I will take you to visit my Linglong Pavilion, and promise that Brother Huang, you will definitely like it!" ”

Zhu Hao never thought that he would lift a stone and hit his own feet this time, he didn't expect that his eldest brother would be such a sincere person, to be honest, Zhu Hao hated noise before he came to the Ming Dynasty, because he grew up in the construction site when he was a child, and often when he slept, he would be woken up by the sound of this handsaw axe and chisel, and when he grew up, Zhu Hao hated this sound very much, as soon as he heard this sound, Zhu Hao had the urge to run away, and at this moment Zhu Youxiao wanted to take him to feel it up close, For Zhu Hao, it was undoubtedly like throwing him into the Nine Hells.

Zhu Hao was very afraid to go to the so-called "Linglong Pavilion" with Zhu Youxiao, so he said: "Big brother, that's your 'Linglong Pavilion', how can the younger brother visit casually?" This is disrespectful to the eldest brother, let's not go! ”

Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhu Hao was afraid of the sound of a handsaw and axe, thinking that Zhu Hao was being polite to him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, brother Huang, you and I are brothers, don't worry!" Brother Huang is not afraid that you will covet Brother Huang's treasure! The royal brother's treasure is the royal brother's, if the imperial brother likes the imperial brother, I can give you the entire Linglong Pavilion! Zhu Youxiao said, with a deep reluctance in his eyes, apparently afraid that Zhu Hao would really open his mouth to ask him for "Linglong Pavilion"

Zhu Youxiao's expression was naturally captured by Zhu Hao, and he secretly said in his heart: "If you are the real 'Linglong Pavilion', maybe Lao Tzu will really give up this face and open your mouth to ask for it, but just your broken carpenter's house, to tell the truth, you just give Lao Tzu money, and Lao Tzu doesn't want your thing!" ”

Although he thought so in his heart, but Zhu Hao didn't dare to say this, otherwise he would have to be kicked out of the East Palace by Zhu Youxiao, he smiled bitterly at Zhu Youxiao and said: "Big brother, the younger brother doesn't read as much as the eldest brother, but he also knows that the gentleman doesn't win people's love, please rest assured, the younger brother won't want your Linglong Pavilion!" ”

At the same time as saying this, Zhu Hao was really afraid that Zhu Youxiao, a tendon, would really have to pull him to the carpenter's room, so he said directly: "Big brother, little brother is a little tired and doesn't want to go anymore, why don't we go back to the house and rest for a while!" ”
