Chapter 230: The Ming Imperial Family's Dinner
"Was my dad cheated by you? Just like the second uncle. ”
"Impossible, I respect the heart of the fourth uncle, the sun and the moon can be seen."
In the corner of the harem, Zhu Yunxi shook his head solemnly, looking indignant, staring at Zhu Gaochi in front of him, who could only sit on his knees on the flower bed because of his heavy body.
He looked at the palace in front of him, and the palace that was originally quite wide was a little crowded because of the gathering of dozens of children and grandchildren of the old Zhu family.
The seats have already been arranged, with the old man as the center, followed by the prince, the prince and the princess, the harem concubine, the prince and the prince.
At this moment, the banquet has not officially begun, and Zhu Yan and Zhu Di, who led the troops to Lion Rock to quell the turmoil at noon, have already sat down on the seat of the crown prince Zhu Biao.
The second generation of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty naturally revolved the topic around the old man.
The princesses of each family left the table one after another to talk to the concubines of the harem and the little girls of each family.
Only the younger generation of emperors and grandsons such as Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi are scattered all over the scene.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi beside him with a faint gaze, and said in a low voice: "Before, the eldest of the second uncle's family talked to me. ”
Zhu Yunxi sighed, looked at the figure of Zhu Shangbing, the prince of King Qin, and said softly: "What did Brother Bing'er and Brother Chi'er say?" ”
Zhu Gaochi's face showed a hint of strangeness: "Brother Bing'er said, if it weren't for the fact that you are the grandson, he would definitely teach you a good lesson." ”
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing, and then looked at Zhu Shangbing, who was born in Guanzhong, and was even more concerned about the powerful appearance of the middle-aged and old Qin people.
He felt that the other party was not lying, if it weren't for his identity as the emperor's grandson, I was afraid that the two of them would not be able to beat each other combined.
"So, Brother Bing'er is angry with me about the second uncle?"
Zhu Gaochi smiled and waved his hand: "That's nothing." In fact, all the brothers of the uncle's family also know what the matter of Zhejiang Dao is for.
It's just that according to the meaning of Brother Bing'er and several other brothers, when you do these things in the future, it's best to say it in advance, and everyone should be prepared, so that you don't have to hide at home and meditate hard to figure out the reason. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi shook his body, and his butt was really a little guilty of sitting on the flower bed.
And he also took advantage of this to quietly look at Zhu Yunxi who was standing beside him.
Zhu Yunxi glanced down at Zhu Gaochi and smiled silently.
This sentence passed on by the prince of Qin Wang through the prince of Yan Wang, he understood.
Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Zhu Yunxi heard footsteps in the distance.
When he turned his head, he saw that Zhu Shangbing had already walked over.
When he approached, Zhu Shangbing bowed down and hugged his fists in a regular manner: "The minister will see the emperor's grandson." ”
Zhu Gaochi glanced up, hummed twice, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.
Zhu Yunxi laughed out loud, and already reached out to support Zhu Shangbing's hands: "Brother Bing'er is older than me, and he is all his own family at this time, and there are no foreign ministers, so don't talk about these false courtesies in the future." ”
Zhu Shangbing lowered his head, with a chuckle on his face, and suddenly his face changed, and the two fists he was holding were holding Zhu Yunxi's hand between his backhands.
A dark force came up, and Zhu Yunxi's arm was already tilted outward.
Zhu Yunxi frowned, his legs sank, he snorted, and he stopped Zhu Shangbing's sudden attack with one hand, but it was difficult for him to return his arm to the original outstretched position with just one arm.
Zhu Gaochi sat on the side, raising his eyebrows and watching the secret contest between these two cousins, his eyes showing excitement and yearning.
When he watched the two of them start to tremble, he immediately coughed lightly.
After Zhu Shangbing heard this, he immediately let go of his hands and bowed again, but this time he was more respectful.
Then without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak, he straightened up and looked at Zhu Yunxi with satisfaction.
"Brother Xi is getting more and more sophisticated now, I think that if our brother is not in Yingtian in the future, Brother Xi will not be bullied by the civil officials in the court."
Zhu Yunxi smiled helplessly, and could only smile bitterly at Zhu Shangbing's sudden temptation.
He looked at Zhu Shangbing, who was not full of anger on his face, and said softly: "Brother Bing'er is powerful and powerful, and he has been in Xi'an with his second uncle all these years, and I heard that he has made a lot of fame in the army. ”
Zhu Shangbing finally showed the demeanor that a young man should have.
I saw him shaking his head and waving his hand, with a strong sense of being a son stronger than Lao Tzu.
stretched out his hand and put it on Zhu Gaochi's shoulder, sat on the flower bed, and said to Zhu Yunxi: "If it weren't for my father pressing me every day, we would definitely want Brother Xi to hear our name in the military newspaper every day!" ”
Zhu Yunxi smiled, also sat on the other side of Zhu Gaochi, also stretched out his hand on Zhu Gaochi's shoulder, and said to Zhu Shangbing on the other side: "The second uncle is steady, and he feels sorry for Brother Bing, so he didn't dare to ask Brother Bing'er to lead the troops out of the Great Wall alone early." ”
Zhu Shangbing pouted: "If my father is steady, he will not be brought to Zhejiang Dao by you to take the blame, he deserves to suffer!" ”
Zhu Gaochi was a little uncomfortable pressed by the two brothers, twisted his waist and shook his shoulders, but found that the arms of these two hateful guys could not leave him.
had to snort: "If you go back and let grandpa hear Brother Bing'er that you arrange the second uncle like this, you must be good-looking." ”
Zhu Shangbing snorted, finally withdrew his hand, and hammered the void in front of him a few times: "If it weren't for the bad generation, we couldn't break the rules." The bastard things my father did, now only my grandfather and uncle can take care of him. ”
Zhu Yunxi's brows couldn't stop jumping, looking at Zhu Shangbing, who was talking like this, he was speechless for a while.
It's really a good uncle of the second uncle!
Zhu Yunxi gave Zhu Shangbing an admiring look.
"This time, Brother Chi'er wants to stay in Yingtian, and I think Brother Bing'er will also be stayed. When the time comes, when the second uncle finishes the affairs of Zhejiang Dao, when he returns to Beijing, Brother Bing will be able to see the second uncle. ”
Zhu Gaochi immediately turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, who was in the arch fire, and then looked at Zhu Shangbing beside him, and said in a lost voice: "You can't fall for Brother Xi'er's way!" Be careful of being beaten by grandpa to the point that your ass blooms. ”
Zhu Shangbing glanced at Zhu Gaochi, and then pulled him to his side.
Then in a voice that only three people could hear, he whispered: "I heard that you are very unhappy in Beiping?" Do you want to take this opportunity to teach you a good lesson for your second and third brothers? ”
As he spoke, Zhu Shangbing did not forget to puff up his biceps, which were thicker than ordinary calves.
It's a good show-off.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head again and again: "My second and third children are not bad-hearted, and I have a very comfortable life in Beiping." ”
When Zhu Shangbing saw Zhu Gaochi say this, he could only pout his lips cowardly, and then said to Zhu Yunxi: "Today you cheated the third and fourth uncles, be careful later, the two of them will find you to settle accounts." ”
Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes, glanced ahead, and said in a low voice, "What about the third uncle's brother?" ”
He is talking about Zhu Jixi, the son of Zhu Kun, the king of Jin.
Zhu Shangbing pouted: "He and the third child of his family got up before, and I don't know what it was for, and then he was punished by his grandfather to go to Taimiao to kneel." ”
Zhu Yunxi heard it for a while.
It seems that the contradiction between the eldest and the third uncle of the third uncle has been going on for a long time.
It is no wonder that in the original history, during the Yongle Dynasty, there was a change of princes between brothers in the Jin Dynasty.
Zhu Gaochi was worried: "Do you want to go to grandpa to ask for a favor?" ”
Zhu Shangbing immediately said: "If you want to go, we don't dare to go to grandpa to intercede for the two of them." ”
Seeing that Zhu Shangbing did not agree, Zhu Gaochi could only shrug his shoulders, and could only express a helpless sympathy for the two brothers of the third uncle family who were probably kneeling in the Taimiao at this time.
With the passage of time, it slowly flowed.
It soon darkened.
In the palace, the atmosphere has also reached its peak.
I don't know which prince of Daming shouted, and this banquet can be regarded as the official beginning.
Because there are female rolls here, there can only be a small stage here, singing a few accustomed songs. There are fewer singing and dancing women, and the old Zhu family children on the scene only care about drinking and talking.
After Zhu Qimeng, the king of Jin, poured a bowl of wine, Zhu Yunxi saw that the third uncle was already walking towards him with some unsteady feet.
He immediately looked at Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi beside him.
The two of them gave him a helpless look at the same time.
Zhu Shangbing even whispered: "Let's just say it, the third uncle and the fourth uncle will definitely trouble you today." ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhu Yan had already walked straight over, and his palm slapped heavily on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder.
"Brother Xi! We haven't seen each other in years, hiccup...... ...... back then" Zhu Yan's eyes seemed to have become a little blurry because he drank too much, and after a wine burp, he could continue: "It was only a little big back then, and now I can do things for your grandfather." Shouldn't our uncle and nephew have a good drink? ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yan had already put a jar of wine in front of Zhu Yunxi.
When he looked up at Zhu Di again, he found that the fourth uncle Zhu Di had quietly walked over here, and he was also carrying a jar of wine in his hand.
If you go down to this jar of wine, you will be drunk if you are not drunk.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man and his father in fear, but saw that these two people had gotten together with the fifth and sixth uncles, with their backs to themselves, drinking wine and eating meat.
It's what it means to live or die.
Zhu Yunxi turned his head stiffly to look at Zhu Yan and Zhu Di, with a flattering smile on his face: "Third uncle, fourth uncle...... Nephew ...... overwhelmed."
"If you can't say that you can't drink alcohol, Fourth Uncle will pour these three jars of wine into your stomach now!" Zhu Di directly interrupted Zhu Yunxi's words.
Then he shouted to Zhu Gaochi next to him: "Stay out of the way, you want to drink with your brother!" ”

Zhu Yan also said to Zhu Shangbing next to him: "Go away, don't blame your third uncle for beating you while your father is not there!" ”
Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi immediately patted their buttocks, hurriedly gave up their seats, retreated to the side and shrank together, looking at Zhu Yunxi, who was about to face Zhu Yan and Zhu Di alone.
"Your dad doesn't really want to get Brother Xi drunk, does he?" Zhu Shangbing put his hands in his sleeves and arched Zhu Gaochi with his shoulders.
Zhu Gaochi pushed him and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that my father and the third uncle would make trouble with Brother Xi'er, didn't this answer what you said." ”
Zhu Shangbing watched the third uncle and fourth uncle open the wine jar in front of Zhu Yunxi, and couldn't help but tremble.
"I hope Brother Xi can resist this trouble......"
