Chapter 18: The eldest brother is bowed down by the younger brother

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Tong coming in, she looked at Zhu Tong with a kind face, looking at the father and son standing side by side at the moment, and a sour feeling surged in her heart, this scene was something he couldn't even imagine.

She hurriedly stepped forward and took Zhu Tong's hand.

"Kid, why are you sweating? Don't worry, we'll be waiting for you. ”

As he spoke, he took a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Zhu Tong's forehead.

Zhu Tong took the silk handkerchief and thanked him:

"Xie Niangniang, the grass people will come by themselves." Zhu Tong thought while wiping his sweat,

"No, your son is so scared that he has to make friends with me and call me big brother, isn't this my life?"

Queen Ma dragged Zhu Tong to sit at the table, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tong and smiled, and said:

"Child, this is our standard, one year younger than you."

"Your Majesty, the grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Big brother, you don't have to be so restrained, if you are in private, you can call me Biao'er directly." Zhu Biao stepped forward and said.

Zhu Tong was petrified in an instant, his eyes were wide, I didn't expect the prince to call me eldest brother directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and salute me, it's over! I'm going to die this time, Zhu Yuanzhang is a famous tyrant, and when I hear my prince call himself like this, won't he just divide me into five horses!

I didn't come if I knew it, and my life was lost in the palace today, pity the thousand taels of silver I just earned, my sister brother can't take care of you...

Zhu Tong was so frightened that his neck, forehead, and palms were full of sweat, and he kept swallowing saliva, and the tea cup in his hand was still trembling, Queen Ma looked at Zhu Tong's face a little pale, and he was sweating so much, and asked with concern:

"Child, are you not feeling well? Let Niang...."Saying that, Queen Ma gently stroked Zhu Tong's forehead with her hand.

"Kid, why is it so hot?"

"What's going on? It was fine just now! Zhu Yuanzhang also put his hand on Zhu Tong's forehead and asked worriedly.

Zhu Tong saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry because the prince called him eldest brother, and immediately let out a deep breath.

"Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang, the grass people are fine, Fang Cai was shocked when he saw Long Wei."

When Queen Ma heard this, she completely let go of her worries.

"Child, don't be nervous, you just treat this place as if it were your own home, we are all your relatives."

Speaking of this, Queen Ma was obviously excited, the last sentence was so heavy and fast, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's eyes lit up when they said this, and they both stared at Zhu Tong.

"The grass people don't dare!" Zhu Tong wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Queen Ma.

"I think Biao'er's proposal is very good, in the future, your two brothers will be called brothers in private, and when there are outsiders, they will be called by ordinary etiquette." Queen Ma looked at Zhu Tong and Zhu Biao kindly and said.

"Son, listen to what the queen mother says!" Zhu Biao immediately returned to Queen Ma.

". Don't torture the people! The small people did not dare to trespass. Zhu Tong replied resolutely.

"You kid! Don't be so outside, we are also ordinary people who don't pay so much attention to their backgrounds, and besides, you have a merit in saving the queen, so you don't have to shirk this little thing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Tong paused, it seems that he has to recognize Zhu Biao's younger brother today, but he really can't say it, he is not used to having a younger brother for some reason, and he is also a prince, so who can accept it at once.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Tong nodded slightly, his Adam's apple trembled, and a thick sound like a chime slowly came out of his two nostrils.

"Big brother! Worshiped by his younger brother. Zhu Biao bowed his hand, he finally waited for the imperial brother, how excited he was, he could directly be commensurate with the imperial brother as a brother!

When Queen Ma heard this belated sound, there were ripples in her heart, her eyes were wet unconsciously, and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and this scene happened to be seen by Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong saw Queen Ma crying, he suddenly felt distressed for no reason, and subconsciously wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand.

He enjoyed the sensation as if it could heal all the wounds of his heart.

Queen Ma was stunned, this was the first time she had received care from Tong'er, and it was spontaneous, without any hypocrisy mixed with it, without any far-fetchedness, and she also enjoyed this moment very much.

Enjoying the care from this son, she was reluctant to disturb him, so she let him gently wipe it with her hands, but the tears in the corners of her eyes dripped more violently, and they had blurred her vision, and they were all on Zhu Tong's hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao on the side were breathing, not daring to make a sound, watching Zhu Tong's every move.

"Mother, you don't have to be too sad!" Zhu Tong comforted Queen Ma, although he didn't know why Queen Ma was crying, he always couldn't help but want to comfort.

"Let's be happy! Glad! Queen Ma sobbed.

"That's right! Right! Right! Happy, we're happy, your two brothers reminded us of the time when we raised an army to punish the tyrannical yuan. ”

"Hey! How many years have passed? Lingering! Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of excitement on his face......

......

Zhu Tong finished helping Queen Ma decoction the medicine and was about to leave, but Zhu Biao came over and said that he was taking him to meet a few people.

"Big brother, now that the queen mother has taken the medicine, it's still too early, or I'll take you to meet a few brothers who know us."

"I...."Zhu Tong was dragged away by Zhu Biao before he finished speaking....

Before they were minors, several princes temporarily lived in the Chufang Palace, and only when they became adults could they move out of the palace to live.

In the hall of the Fangfang,

Zhu Di and others are playing football, Zhu Fan is the oldest among them but slightly weaker than Zhu Di, and Zhu Di will also go out in another year, he is different from Zhu Di, Zhu Di has participated in the war with the army, was born brave, and he is also more outstanding on the battlefield.

Just as Zhu Di kicked the polo hard, Zhu Biao and Zhu Tong happened to come in from outside the Fang Palace, and with a bang, the polo shot at Zhu Tong, and before Zhu Tong could react, the polo was kicked away by Zhu Biao.

When all the princes saw the royal brother coming, they were so frightened that they returned to their books, trembling.

Zhu Biao apologized to Zhu Tong and said:

"I'm sorry! It's all my usual negligence! ”

"Your Highness is serious, children are greedy for fun!" As he spoke, Zhu Tong picked up the polo ball that fell on the ground and put it back in its place.

At this time, a little prince secretly climbed to Zhu Di's side: "What is this guy doing, fourth brother, tell us more about it." ”

Zhu Di saw that his younger brothers admired him very much, and the pride in his heart added ten points to him, so he raised his voice and said confidently:

"In my opinion, it should be a gentleman who teaches, and it must be the royal brother who invited us."

"It's still the fourth brother who is amazing!"

"Among so many princes, except for the eldest brother, I am the most obedient to the fourth brother!"

Just when the princes were talking, Zhu Biao and Zhu Tong walked in......
