Zhu Youzhu wore the jade pendant given by his mother and left with his mother's blessing. Since then, he has never seen his helpless mother who loves him very much, and the only thing his mother left him is this jade pendant. Whenever he misses this mother, he can only take out this jade pendant that he wears close to him and look at it. This has become a habit of life for him, the emperor, for many years.

With the full support of Empress Ming Xianzong, Zhu Youzhu was announced to the public as the queen's adopted son. Zhu Youzhang's identity was immediately revealed, and Wan Guifei couldn't stop it if she wanted to. Ming Xianzong is very fond of this son, because this son is his only child and his hope. There is another thing that outsiders don't know is that the reason why Ming Xianzong likes this son is because this son is the same as when he was a child, he is an uneducated "wild child". Ming Xianzong was not allowed to read when he was a child, and there was no master to teach him to read. Zhu Youzhu is the same, because his identity cannot be exposed, so he hides in the partition wall almost every day until he is six years old, and he doesn't even care if his hair grows, of course, it is impossible to receive any education. When Ming Xianzong saw this son for the first time, he immediately remembered his almost miserable childhood, and of course he fell in love with this biological son with sympathy. In addition, Zhu Youzhu has not had father's love since he was a child, and he is very eager for his father's love, and when he sees Ming Xianzong, he immediately shouts "father". Yes, Zhu Youzhu is not called "Father", but "Father", which makes Ming Xianzong very happy. "Father" and "son" are the titles between monarchs and ministers, even fathers and sons must be called as monarchs and ministers, so there is no family affection at all. "Father" is a son's unique title for his own Laozi, Zhu Youzhang called Ming Xianzong "father", which means that in Zhu Youzhang's heart, Ming Xianzong was Zhu Youzhang's father first, and then the king of a country. Although Ming Xianzong needs a son to inherit his career and status, he also needs a biological son to treat him as a father. So when Zhu Youzhu called him like this, Ming Xianzong not only did not blame, but he was very happy in his heart, and almost jumped up and hugged his son with his own hands.

Ming Xianzong named Zhu Youzhu as the crown prince for the first time, and Zhu Youzhang's status was a certainty from then on. Wan Guifei saw that Zhu Youzhang's position was stable, and it was difficult to deal with it directly, so she had to pretend to be affectionate. In fact, Concubine Wan has only one purpose, to create an "accident" to kill the child after taking Zhu Youzhang's custody. But not only Wan Guifei has brains, but the queen and Ming Xianzong also have brains. The queen used Zhu Youzhang's adoptive mother's identity and Zhu Youzhang's biological mother's deathbed entrustment as an excuse not to let the child follow Wan Guifei. Ming Xianzong also knew Wan Guifei's style over the years, and he was also worried that Wan Guifei would kill his only son, and he would be sorry for his ancestors and father at that time. In addition, the queen is the nominal hostess of the harem, and Zhu Youzhu should be handed over to the queen to raise in name, which is a rule and a etiquette, so Ming Xian Zongnan did not listen to Wan Guifei's words and handed over Zhu Youzhu to the queen to take full care of and raise. Wan Guifei wanted to harm Zhu Youzhang, but she didn't have a chance to get close to Zhu Youzhang. The queen knew that Zhu Youzhu was not only her talisman now, but also her hope for the future, so she took the greatest effort to take care of and protect Zhu Youzhang.

Originally, Wan Guifei had a lot of power in the harem, but because of the crown prince Zhu Youjiao, the queen's power gradually grew up, although she couldn't confront Wan Guifei head-on, but Wan Guifei couldn't control the overall situation. In addition, Wan Guifei is the crown prince, not the original concubine or palace maid, and no one dares to joke about this kind of thing. Everyone knows that Ming Xianzong likes this prince very much, and the future world will be Zhu Youzhang's, and no one dares to offend Zhu Youzhang. It doesn't matter if you frame and torture some concubines who have no descendants, if you hurt and murder the crown prince, no one dares to do it. If you are discovered, don't say that your life is absolutely not guaranteed, and even your family will have an accident because of it. They didn't want the family to be over like this, so no one dared to help Concubine Wan deal with Zhu Youjiao. Not only did the subordinates not care about it, but even Wan Guifei herself didn't dare to do it. It was the first time she saw her husband Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen being so kind to someone other than herself, and she had also been warned by her husband Ming Xianzong that she must not contradict Zhu Youzhu head-on. Since then, Wan Guifei's power has gradually declined, and Zhu Youjiao, with the help of the queen and others, has gradually gained his own strength, so he doesn't have to worry about Wan Guifei poisoning herself. Concubine Wan Guifei was shocked and angry, coupled with her old age, she finally died in her palace after falling ill. After Ming Xianzong learned that Concubine Wan Guifei was dead, he was also overly sad, and left Zhu Youzhu and Jiangshan soon after.

After Zhu Youzhu became the emperor, he thought of the tragic struggle in the harem, so he decided to be monogamous. He had only one wife in his life, and she was his queen, the mother of his sons. It is rare for two people to love and love in the palace for most of their lives, and it is rare for the harem to be quiet and peaceful. It's just that because there are no concubines, Zhu Youzhu has very few descendants. In addition to Zhu Houzhao, who later became Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, the two couples also had a son and a daughter. It's just that this one is older than Zhu Houzhao, and he should have been the crown prince's child, but he died at a young age. Zhu Houzhao is the only biological son raised by Zhu Youzhang of Ming Xiaozong, so Zhu Youzhang passed the throne and jade pendant to Zhu Houzhao together. Zhu Houzhao didn't know the true origin of this jade pendant, so it was not appropriate to carry it with him. Later, after being exiled to the Dragon and Phoenix Shop, in order to please Sister Li Feng, he casually gave it to the old drunkard master who was still a child at the time. After several turnovers, it finally fell into the hands of Qin Tai and Zhan's little son Xiao Ping'an, and became a personal jade pendant to bless Xiao Ping'an.

Of course, Qin Tai didn't know the story behind this jade pendant, but Qin Tai also saw some problems from the texture of the jade pendant. At that time, the land area of the Ming Dynasty was not large, which can be said to be a little better than the Song Dynasty, but it was definitely not as good as the previous dynasties. Although after the Tang Dynasty, almost all of the major jade-producing places were not under the jurisdiction of the central government, the Tang Dynasty was always the nominal suzerainty, and the local government had to offer jade as a tribute to the royal family every year. During the Song Dynasty, the imperial court also exchanged iron tools and tea for horses and jade from northern countries. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, because of the discord with the northern ethnic minorities, the two sides had a hostile relationship, so jade was rarely traded. This jade pendant is authentic Hetian white jade, Hetian jade is produced in Xinjiang, of course, it is not what the court said it would have. Except for some old jade from the previous dynasty, it was only secretly carried by some smugglers. Not only is it dangerous but also illegal, so the quantity of jade is small and the price is relatively expensive. This piece of jade pendant is not only of high quality, but also has good carving, this kind of craftsmanship and this texture, such a piece of jade pendant is not cheap. In addition, the old drunkard master said that this was given to the young old drunkard master by Zhu Houzhao, who had been the emperor, so it was even more precious.

Qin Tai was originally worried that Xiao Ping'an would accidentally bump the jade pendant, and wanted to help his son put it away, and put it on for Xiao Ping'an when he was older and sensible in the future. But Zhan Xiaoxiao said to her husband Qin Tai: "Forget it, this is a piece of my godfather's heart." Just hang it on for your son, I hope that Yu Pei can bless my son with a safe and secure life. The gourd is engraved on it, which means that there are blessings and blessings, bless our son to live a long life and live a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing. As for whether you are an official or not, it doesn't matter. According to what I mean, it's better for children not to be officials, and there is nothing wrong with being a flat-headed commoner. Qin Tai also nodded and agreed, and from then on, this jade pendant was hung on the neck of Qin Tai and Zhan's youngest son, Xiao Ping'an, to bless the child to grow up safely.

Nearly a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao have been waiting for news from the front line almost every day. They were really worried about the old drunkard master, although the army of the imperial court was numerous, its combat effectiveness was not strong. Coupled with internal disunity, it is very likely that there will be spies of the White Lotus Sect. In the event of an accident, the first person in danger is the informer, that is, Zhan's little godfather and old drunkard. As a civil illegal organization, the White Lotus Sect suffers most from traitors and spies. The old drunkard master has the mark of the White Lotus Sect that is no longer clear, and most people think that the old drunkard master is a traitor to the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect's methods of dealing with traitors are very cruel, and it is very likely that they will torture and kill the old drunkard master. Zhan Xiaoxiao is really worried about the safety of her godfather and the old drunkard, she knows that the court and the government will not care about the life and death of the old drunkard, and even if something happens, she will not take care of the old drunkard. If you act quickly, you should have already attacked the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, and the news of the victory should be there. If the attack does not go well, you should also ask for the support of the imperial court and send the second echelon to reinforce it. But there is no news at all, is it because the news leaked before the attack began? Need to find the enemy's main force before launching a full-fledged attack? In this case, the old drunkard master is really dangerous. Either they have been killed, or they are about to become the main target of the White Lotus Sect.

Just when Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't wait, Boss Chen came back. They did not bring back a large amount of gold and silver treasures, nor did they find any clues to the treasures, but came back with injuries. After they came to the old main altar of the White Lotus Sect, they first withdrew the original army, and then the people of the Jinyi Guard set up defenses to prevent the news from leaking out. After arranging everything, the commander of the Jinyi Guard led people into the White Lotus Sect's main altar in batches and carried out a carpet search. Because this place has been occupied for a while, and the good things on the surface have almost been taken away by the officers and soldiers stationed there, nothing has been found.
