Chapter 207: The Crown Prince has returned to the East Palace
At this time, in the East Palace, a small family gathering was underway.
On the small lawn, it was divided into two teams.
Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun each led a team of little brother Ma Zai, with a strip of cloth as the middle line, nervously and excitedly defending the ball that was constantly rolling on the ground, and when it would suddenly roll into the net frame behind their respective teams.
The eldest sister Zhu Qingjing sat skillfully and quietly next to the third brother Zhu Yunxi, from time to time stir-fried broad beans in oil, looking at the younger brothers and sisters on the grass in front of her, and of course, the youngest twenty-third uncle Zhu Huan, these people were playing under the leadership of the two younger sisters.
Zhu Yunxi drank tea for a while, Hangzhou Mansion is a place destined to provide a steady stream of financial taxes, and it is also a place to produce good things.
This year's new tea before the rain has just been sent to the palace in the past few days.
With the mountain spring water outside the city, as long as it is boiled and brewed, it is a taste of the world.
And he was lazily leaning back on the padded circle chair.
Last night was the first time he messed around for half a night after coming to Daming for a year, and finally in front of the damn etiquette and royal dignity, he spared Tang Queqing, who was already full of spring and his lips were red and swollen.
The taste is not enough to be humane with outsiders.
retracted his eyes from Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun, who were destined to become his women, as well as the second sister Zhu Qingshu, the third sister Zhu Qingning, the fourth brother Zhu Yunxi, and the twenty-third uncle Zhu Huan.
Zhu Yunxi silently looked at the eldest sister Zhu Qingjing on the side.
"I heard that during the Chinese New Year last year, someone outside the palace implicitly mentioned the eldest sister's family affairs?"
Where is heard.
Zhu Yunxi even checked which one the other party was.
Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, had a good relationship, went around a big circle in the harem, and finally implicitly expressed to the old man that the Geng family hoped to marry a clan girl.
After all the calculations, this clan maid can only fall on the body of the Jiangdu county lord in the East Palace.
Geng Bingwen was an indispensable general in the Ming Army.
Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he repeatedly defeated Zhang Shicheng, who occupied one side at that time. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was also a series of battles.
It's just that in the early days of the establishment of a dynasty, there were countless Meng generals who were born and appeared, so Geng Bingwen's highlights in the Hongwu Dynasty were a little unbearable compared to Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.
Now people want to ask for their son to marry the daughter of the clan, this is a loyal move, and the old Zhu family has no reason to refuse this matter.
Over the years, there have been marriages between the nobles of the DPRK and the royal family every year.
This year, she is not the daughter of your family, but she married into my old Zhu family as a princess and a princess of the county. It is the daughter of my old Zhu family in the coming year, who will marry into your family as a housewife.
This is a necessary means for the royal family to maintain the meritorious generals.
The woman is precocious, and the eldest sister Zhu Qingjing, the county lord of Jiangdu, who is two years older than Zhu Yunxi, has already reached the time to talk about marriage.
It seems to be because he mentioned his own family affairs.
Zhu Qingjing's face couldn't help but blush, and she glared at the third brother angrily: "I heard that Miss Tang didn't leave the third brother's house all night last night, if grandpa and father are informed, I'm afraid the third brother won't be good." ”
A woman is an existence that cannot be offended!
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help scolding secretly in his heart, but his face showed a flattering look, and said firmly: "The eldest sister knows, my younger brother and I are more upright and gentleman than the students who came out of the Taixue Guozi Prison!" I will never lose the dignity and decency of my family! ”
It's just a mouth, and it won't make the matter of getting pregnant out of wedlock.
Zhu Qingjing's face became more and more red, and she stood up one after another: "Prodigal!" ”
scolded in a low voice, and stayed away from the third brother who was becoming more and more immodest now.
And at this time, it seemed that because of the exceptionally good food in the East Palace, the little eunuch Yutian, who gradually couldn't stop the horizontal development, rushed to Zhu Yunxi's side with a sweat.
"Third master, the crown prince is back."
Yutian's words were concise and to the point, but as soon as Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately changed from being paralyzed in the circle chair to standing firmly in place, looking at the front with his eyes swishing.
Before he could react.
I saw that my father was already in a wheelchair and was carried into this lawn yard by two strong eunuchs.
"When I turn around, I will cut all the thresholds in the East Palace and make them live buckles!"
With a low command, Zhu Yunxi was already hurriedly waving at the younger brothers and sisters and little uncles who had completely forgotten the shape in front of him.
"The son welcomes his father back to the palace."
"The daughter has seen her father."
"The courtiers have seen the prince."
"Minister...... Junior...... I've seen the prince...... Brother ......"
Zhu Huan looked at the prince's brother who suddenly returned to the East Palace with a dull expression, and couldn't stop hiccuping, his eyes widened, and his shoulders twitched.
Zhu Biao's wheelchair was placed on the ground by the eunuch, and he calmly glanced at the people present, looked at the juggles on the lawn, and smiled silently.
With helplessness on his face, he first looked at the twenty-third brother who was still hiccups: "Messing around all day, have you ever fallen behind in your studies in the main hall?" Mr. Fang is a good gentleman, and he should learn more from him. A few times ago, Concubine Li Xian asked someone to talk to me about you, but she hasn't been back to her now. ”
Zhu Huan, who is a small ghost, has lost his joy in the past at this time, and the whole person straightens his waist.
By the time the prince's brother finished asking, he had already stopped hiccuping, lowered his head and replied in a nervous whisper: "The homework has never been left behind, Mr. Fang praised Brother Chen yesterday, he is the smartest person in the main hall!" The concubine's side...... The food made by the concubine is not as good as that of the East Palace......"
Zhu Biao shook his head with a wry smile more and more helplessly.
In his early years, he was strict with his younger brothers, and when they grew up, he continued to do so.
It's just that now, these younger brothers are more spoiled and indulgent, and the discipline is more lax than the previous brothers.
"When we finish eating in the East Palace, let someone get a copy and bring it back to Concubine Li Xian, so that your mother can also taste the food in the East Palace." Zhu Biao admonished.
Zhu Huan kept nodding: "Brother I know." ”
At this time, Zhu Biao looked at the three slim daughters who had already come out.
The second and third girls are still young, and they have to be kept in the palace for many years.
Zhu Biao looked at the big girl Zhu Qingjing with some reluctance on his face: "Changxing Hou is a meritorious service in the court, in the early years, his father died fighting for our family, he took over his father's career and fought bloodily for our family." His son Geng Xuan is a kind-hearted person, and now he can be regarded as inheriting the family style of the Geng family and working in the army. But we heard that he is also a tender man, and he will not treat you badly. Even if he wants to be negative, your third brother will also stand up for you! ”
As he spoke, Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and stared at Zhu Yunxi, who was standing in place in a daze.
Zhu Qingjing, who had never taken family affairs to heart, suddenly turned red at this time.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but cautiously approached the eldest sister in front of his father, and handed out a handkerchief from his sleeve.
Listening to the meaning of his father's words, the old man had already agreed to Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, to ask for his son Geng Xuan to marry the daughter of the clan.
The eldest sister will be married out of the palace in a year or two.
Now she is the daughter of the Zhu family, and when she leaves the palace, she is the wife of the Geng family.
When the time comes, no matter what you experience outside, the royal family can't say anything. But as a younger brother, according to his father's will, he is the one who can stand up for his sister.
But Zhu Biao had already looked at Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun, and his face showed more tolerance and caressing.
"Xin Guogong has done a lot of things in his life, and now he has returned to his hometown, but he calls the old man and we miss it tightly, now you can enter the palace and make a family affair with this bastard boy in my family, which is a blessing for my family, if he does something wrong in the future, you just have to tell us, and we will stand up for you."
Tang Queqing lowered his head, not daring to think about the absurd things that happened last night, just a strong blessing, and his mouth said that the love of the heavenly family can continue to be graced by the Duke of Xinguo.
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said that the old man and the Duke of Xinguo both came out of the same place, and they were not favored in any way, so he looked at Mu Caiyun, who was placed at the end and entered Yingtian City for the first time from the distant Yunnan.
Zhu Biao sighed lightly: "I was seriously ill last year, and after hearing the news of my brother, I couldn't afford to get sick, and I couldn't feel at ease." Fortunately, he sent a doctor over and handed him back, only to learn that his brother had gradually recovered. I haven't seen my brother for many years, he is guarding the land in Yunnan for our family, and the old man and I both miss him.
I didn't dare to say it in the past, and I never thought about it. For fear of wronging his brother, he didn't mention the matter of the family being close to each other. Now that you are here, you will live down-to-earth, just like in the mansion of the Marquis of Yunnan.
The concubine was decided early on, and if you think about it, my brother really doesn't care about these, and no one can move the position of your side concubine, and the same will be true in the future. It's all cheap for my bastard, wronged girl, you leave home and go back to Beijing.
When you get married, I will send a letter to ask my brother to return to Beijing. I think that your eldest brother should be able to take care of things at that time, and when the time comes, you will ask your father to stay in Beijing. ”
Perhaps Zhu Biao was particularly fond of Mu Ying, the brother who brought him up, and what he said seemed to be a little too much.
However, no matter who was present, even Tang Queqing never had half a bit of jealousy.
Speaking of which, who is Xiping Hou Muying?
In the early years, it was a national surname! It's the emperor's old man and the queen Ma's righteous son!
The daughter of such a family, no matter which family she marries, must be a housewife. Even if she marries into the royal family, she should be the position of the main concubine, but now she can only be a side concubine, no matter what, she has wronged others.
Mu Caiyun was already crying, but fortunately, Tang Queqing was on the side, gently hugged her, and leaned her head on her shoulder comfortably.
Zhu Biao sighed lowly, and at the end, he set his eyes on Zhu Yunxi, who was said to be a bastard.
Zhu Yunxi was a little worried and nervous in his heart.
Daddy suddenly returned to the East Palace without prior notice, which is not a good sign.
Just as he was like the little twenty-third uncle when he saw the prince's brother, he looked up at his father nervously.
I saw that Zhu Biao's face was already a little gloomy.
"Come with me to the little study."
It was very calm, so calm that it made Zhu Yunxi's back chill and his heart cold.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Yunxi could only move his legs step by step, and with some difficulty, he followed behind his father step by step and walked towards the small study of the East Palace.
