Chapter 10: The Wedding Banquet of the Great Prince

In order to avoid the recurrence of the assassination, ten days have passed, Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di have hardly gone out, in Zhu Di's house, it is the safest shelter, the assassin does not dare to break into the prince's residence, and because of this, Ma Sanbao during this period of time, in addition to giving medicine to the fairy to change the medicine, is to read Zhu Di's collection, Zhu Di has a large collection of books, good reading, good military.

"Report to the Fourth Highness, two days later, it is the son of His Highness, the birthday of His Royal Highness Yunwen, His Royal Highness specially invites His Royal Highness and Young Master Ma to join the banquet." Outside Zhu Di's house, the eunuch sent a message to inform Zhu Di of the arrangement.

"Big brother don't say it, I forgot the second nephew's birthday, courtesy, I forgot, tell the eldest brother, let the eldest brother forgive me." Zhu Di patted his head, from childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother Zhu Biao treated him well, he liked the eldest brother's children very much, this time, because of the assassination, he forgot his nephew's birthday.

Zhu Yunwen, who is it? Ma Sanbao couldn't be clearer, as Zhu Biao's second son, he will be the best candidate for the emperor's grandson in the future, don't look at Zhu Di's good relationship with Zhu Yunwen now, the future may not be certain.

"Your Highness told the humble position, during this time, Fourth Highness, you don't need to prepare gifts, as long as your mind arrives, the gifts will be waived." The eunuch said to Zhu Di respectfully, this eunuch is the old eunuch who serves Zhu Biao by the eldest prince's side, it can be said that he has taken care of several brothers since he was a child, and he is also a respected generation among the eunuchs.

"Then thank you big brother Haihan." Zhu Di bowed, for this old eunuch who watched him grow up, Zhu Di's eyes were full of respect, the old eunuch spent a lot of time with several princes in his life, from childhood to adulthood, Zhu Di was the most naughty prince, although he liked to read, but Zhu Di was tossing all the time, every time he let the old eunuch clean up the aftermath, and Zhu Di still felt a little guilty about the old eunuch when he grew up.

"Your Highness's feast?" Ma Sanbao, who had given the medicine to the immortal after changing the medicine, got the news of Zhu Di, and he naturally understood who His Royal Highness Zhu Biao was, Zhu Biao was the crown prince appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang, obviously Zhu Yuanzhang's biological son, and had the name of the prince and prince, but it was completely different from Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, and Zhu Biao was extremely good to his brother.

"Yes, other brothers will also come, this banquet, the father attaches great importance to it, even the general's heirs and prime minister's heirs will all visit, I guess, those guys will prepare a rich gift for the second nephew to please the eldest brother, what do you say we are going to prepare? At this point in time, there is no way to prepare. Zhu Di said, he was a little embarrassed, two days later was the banquet, although Zhu Biao didn't care whether Zhu Di gave gifts, but Zhu Di's arrogant personality was there, and he didn't give gifts, which seemed out of place.

"Isn't it very simple? We have so many production lines that haven't opened yet, we just take a perfume soap flower water and give it away, haven't all the brothers of His Highness seen these things? Don't look at the gift lightly, but the affection is heavy. Ma Sanbao said, in his package, there are also a lot of inventions that the Ming Dynasty can't see at all, as long as these three things come out of one, it is enough to make Zhu Di the most eye-catching role in the banquet, and can even rely on the channels of his brothers and sisters and generals to promote the product, don't look at a prince's channels are already very wide, but what, there are more princes to help promote, and the business is not endless?

"That's right, my father also appreciates your invention, if I give it to my eldest brother and second nephew, it is probably a good choice, then it is decided, I will order someone to prepare a high-quality wooden box to present the gift." Zhu Di said that Ma Sanbao's invention is indeed a good choice, and the reason why Zhu Biao will entertain Ma Sanbao, a person who has nothing to do with the royal family's military exploits, is precisely because of Zhu Di's strong recommendation in the court.

The high-quality sandalwood is used to hold relatively cheap soap and toilet water, Ma Sanbao is very distressed, in his previous life, this kind of sandalwood box is enough for him to spend more than half a month's salary, this is just an ornament, Zhu Di actually said that he took it out, worthy of the noble status of the prince.

"Send it to the eldest brother, otherwise I won't use it, it's distressing, it's precious." Zhu Di obviously saw Ma Sanbao's thoughts, and Ma Sanbao's expression almost wrote the heartache on his face.

..............

"Fourth Highness, let's go, Your Highness's banquet is about to begin!" Early in the morning, the sky was bright, outside the palace of the fourth highness Zhu Di, the eunuchs were waiting for Zhu Di outside, for this banquet, many princes came from afar from their respective domains, after all, not all the princes were in Nanjing, and some were rushed to Nanjing from their hometowns in Anhui.

Zhu Di was not woken up, but the sleeping Ma Sanbao was woken up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and stared at the constantly noisy eunuch with a dissatisfied face, just before waking up, he was still immersed in his sweet dream.

"Hasn't Zhu Di woken up yet?" Ma Sanbao subconsciously looked at Zhu Di's room, his room was opposite Zhu Di's room, his eldest brother's son's birthday banquet didn't wake up, in another room, Yaoxian woke up early, she was much more ruddy than before, the wound had not healed, but she was able to get out of bed and walk, during this time, Yaoxian would always go back to her small hospital to see patients, don't look at her as a weak woman, but strong like a man.

"Sister Medicine Fairy, are you awake? I prepared today's medicine for you last night, do you want me to change it for you? "During this time, Ma Sanbao's meticulous care made Yao Xian's injuries improve a lot, speaking of which, Ma Sanbao is still very guilty about Yao Xian, if it weren't for him, Yao Xian would not have been so seriously injured.

"It's okay, Young Master Ma still has to attend the wedding banquet of His Royal Highness, the little woman can change her medicine, so there is no need for the young master to worry." The little mouth under the veil of the medicine fairy smiled, after this period of time, she still did not show her true face, but the previous coldness was gone, and occasionally she would make a little joke with Ma Sanbao, and discuss the medical skills she liked.

"That's good, I'll go and tell His Royal Highness to get up, it will take a lot of time to wash and dress up!" Ma Sanbao opened his mouth and said, in Daming, it is very grand to participate in the banquet, if you go sloppy to participate in the wedding banquet, it will be regarded as disrespect to the host, especially the wedding banquet of the eldest prince, don't look at the eldest prince Zhu Biao himself is kind, and other people's eyes will not be so kind.

Waking up Zhu Di is also a trouble for Ma Sanbao, during this time with Zhu Di, he learned that this Royal Highness is angry to get up, don't look at Zhu Di has already become a father, but he still maintains a young heart. When Zhu Di opened his eyes, he looked angrily at the child in front of him who was still smiling after waking him up, he was also immersed in a sweet dream, in which he was a commanding general, and before he could cut off the enemy's head, he was woken up by Ma Sanbao.

"Don't sleep, don't sleep, Your Highness is still waiting for you!" Ma Sanbao reminded Zhu Di, and Zhu Di patted his head at this time, remembering that today was the banquet held by his eldest brother and the birthday of his second nephew.

.............................

Zhu Biao's mansion is different from other princes, Zhu Biao's residence is second only to the palace, in Zhu Biao's mansion, there are rockeries and small streams, this banquet is held in a vast courtyard, in the courtyard set up tables and chairs early, Zhu Biao himself, is in his own bedroom and just two years old Zhu Yunwen frolicking.

There is a five-year-old child reading the sage book next to Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Biao, he is Zhu Biao's eldest son, Zhu Xiongying, this son is smart, staring at every paragraph of the book with big eyes, and whenever he has any doubts, he will ask the gentleman next to him.

"Xiongying, you won't study today, today is your brother's birthday, and I'm still waiting for you to play with your brother." Zhu Biao said to Zhu Xiongying, who was reading the sage book hard, Zhu Xiongying nodded, and did not close the book in his hand, although it was easy for his father to say, he still couldn't put down the golden house in the book.

"Okay, father, when I finish reading the book, I'll play with Brother Yunwen." Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth, this child and Zhu Yunwen are half-brothers, however, since he was a child, Zhu Xiongying likes his younger brother very much, he doesn't have so many battles in the royal family, even if his father is the prince, he may become the future king.

"Big brother, I'm coming for you!" Zhu Di took Ma Sanbao to break into the room of the eldest brother Zhu Biao, and in Zhu Di's hands, he held a luxurious sandalwood box, which contained the earliest invention after Ma Sanbao came to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, you're too flamboyant, aren't you?" Ma Sanbao frowned and looked at Zhu Di, Zhu Di's triumphant appearance frightened Zhu Yunwen next to him, Ma Sanbao was helpless, no wonder Zhu Yunwen would exploit Zhu Di and other princes in the future, it turned out that he had been intimidated by Zhu Di since he was a child.

Zhu Yunwen was frightened by Zhu Di, he was still a child, his big black eyes flashed with tears, tears rolled down his eyes, and soon, he howled and cried, provoking Zhu Biao had to use all kinds of methods to make him laugh, but this kid was too difficult to deal with when he cried.

"Don't cry, don't cry, my uncle has prepared something good for you, do you want to take a look?" Zhu Di was obviously frightened by Zhu Yunwen who brought the rain with pear blossoms, he just wanted to show off the gift he gave to his eldest brother in a high-profile manner, but he didn't expect to cry his nephew, Zhu Di never thought of it.

"With this uncle, I am Zhu Yunwen, and I will exploit you in the future, even if I can't beat you, I will weaken your power." Ma Sanbao thought in his heart, he didn't prepare any gifts, but he bought a string of sugar gourds on the road, sugar gourds are the best weapon for children, don't look at Zhu Yunwen's royal background, sugar gourds also have infinite attraction to Zhu Yunwen, the moment he saw the sugar gourd strings, Zhu Yunwen held back his tears and reached out to ask for the sugar gourd strings in Ma Sanbao's hand.

"This kid is not the grandson of the emperor, and it is not bad to be an actor!" Ma Sanbao reluctantly handed over the sugar gourd to Zhu Yunwen, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
