The crown princess Lu is not very old, and her cheekbones are slightly red.

Her eyebrows were dignified, her eyelids were narrow and hooked, and she was wearing a palace robe and moved lightly, looking at Zhu Xiongying's small courtyard lightly.

"It's funny...... too"

And Zhu Yunwen quietly looked at her with dark eyes aggrievedly, and embellished her at her feet.

"Meet the Crown Princess!"

Zhou Kuan hurriedly saluted.

Several palace maids and chamberlains rushed in, pushed open the fence door of the small courtyard, and stood on the left and right.

"Where's Xiongying?"

Lu Shi asked softly with a cold face, she was originally a famous minister Lu Benhuan in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and her family had been cultivating and reading heirlooms for generations, and her father Lu Ben was once a noble family in the Yuan Dynasty, and after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, she was rewarded.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he inherited Yuan Zuo, and attached great importance to the princess and concubine, the prince and concubine attached great importance to the "root foot" (origin), because Wang Baobao was not born in a golden family, and was not reused by Emperor Yuan Shun for a time, so under the introduction of Song Lian, Zhu Biao married the Lu family who was born into a famous family as a concubine.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Lü's father Lü Ben was punished for managing the repair funds of the meritorious temples of the Taichang Temple, and Zhu Yuanzhang punished him for going to the meritorious temple to do a servant work, and later was repeatedly promoted under Zhu Biao's intercession, and it didn't take long for him to be transferred to the salt envoy of the two Zhejiang.

Although his father Lu Ben died of illness in the tenth year of Hongwu, the Lu family did not fall out of favor, but was quite favored by the prince Zhu Biao, and after giving birth to the eldest son Zhu Yunwen in the tenth year of Hongwu, he was promoted to the prince's side concubine. In the twelfth year of Hongwu, after the crown princess Chang gave birth to Zhu Yunxi due to illness, the Lu family was promoted to the crown princess.

Now that she has been the head of the East Palace for three years, she is respectful to Queen Ma on weekdays, and she also tries her best to be fair to Zhu Xiongying and other royal grandchildren, and try her best to take care of her.

"The child is here!"

Zhu Xiongying had already greeted him, looked at Zhu Yunxi who was following everyone, a little cowardly and stunned, he frowned, stepped forward and took Zhu Yunxi's hand, and then saluted to the Lu family.

"The child meets his mother."

The eldest concubine is the eldest, even if Zhu Xiongying doesn't like her stepmother Lu very much, she can only bow to her.

"Xiongying, excuse me."

Lu Shi paced forward, looked left and right, waved his hand to let the surrounding attendants disperse, and pulled Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Xiongying to sit down together, different from Zhu Xiongying's expectations, Lu Shi smiled faintly, and amiably reached out to wipe the dust on Zhu Xiongying's face with his handkerchief, and then observed and looked at the small courtyard, and sighed: "Your small courtyard is very good, no wonder Yun Wei and Yun Xi love it." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded again and again.

Zhu Yunxi raised his head in a daze, and smiled at Zhu Xiongying: "I like it, I like it......"

Zhu Xiongying rubbed Zhu Yunxi's head, pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, and glanced at Lu Shi with her eyes, what kind of medicine is her stepmother selling in the gourd, why did she suddenly come to her place.

After thinking about it, he still spoke.

"Mother, why did you come here today, why did you ......?"

Lu Shi smiled faintly, she clapped her hands, there were already some rare fruits served by the waiter, including watermelon, melon, and grapes, etc., all of which were seasonal fruits, as well as lotus seeds peeled from the tender lotus pod, which were fragrant and crisp.

"Yun Wei said, Xiongying, you love to eat fruits, these watermelons and melons are not southern melons and fruits, but sand melons paid tribute by Ningxia Wei, sweet and delicious, I made a special trip to send them to you."

"Thank you, Mother!"

Zhu Xiongying was smiling, grinning and laughing, very happy.

Lu Shi also nodded slightly at him, kind and kind.

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, the mother and son are filial, if you don't know the people who follow the feet, I'm afraid you will really treat them as your own mother and son.

Zhu Xiongying picked up a melon, sniffed it and showed joy in his eyes: "It's so fragrant, this melon must be sweet, thank you mother, I also planted some acacia in this small yard, all of which I cultivated by myself, I will pick some immediately, mother, you take it back and taste it." ”

Saying that, he stood up, picked up a bamboo dustpan, and picked some mushrooms and mushrooms that he cultivated in the dark room, and the mushrooms he cultivated were the most common oyster mushrooms, which were more convenient to grow than other mushrooms.

Zhu Yunwen saw that his mother did not refuse, so he ran and jumped with Zhu Yunxi to help.

Lu Shi had a smile on his face, but at this moment, he was slowly solemn and expressionless.

"Three years of northern cuisine full of meat, good vegetables quite reminiscent of Nanzhou flavor, local vegetables for Jiuxia Zhen, smallpox suddenly from Wutai jade" Zhu Xiongying picked the oyster mushroom very full, and Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi walked out happily.

All three of them were covered in mud, but they were very happy.

Especially Zhu Yunwen, who smiled exceptionally brightly.

Black eyes looked at Zhu Xiongying, full of admiration.

It's just that the happier he is, the darker Lu's face becomes.

"Mother, you take these locust and go back to taste it, fry it in lard and eat it, and then put some leeks and eggs to make scrambled eggs with leek locust curtain, which is delicious in the world!"

"Good!"

When he turned around, Lu Shi was already smiling.

"Xiongying, you take Yun Wei with you on weekdays, you can't be too playful, you can't waste your studies, you are the eldest grandson of my Ming Emperor, and you will inherit the Ming Dynasty in the future, you should know that Confucianism is important."

Lu said.

"Mother, the child knows!"

Zhu Xiongying grinned, revealing her white teeth.

Lu Shi said two more words of greeting, persuading Zhu Xiongying not to forget the Confucian scriptures, and then took Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi and left slowly.

Zhu Xiongying warmly welcomed and said goodbye.

It can be called the filial piety of the mother and the son......

After they walked away, Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and slowly put it down, and his smiling cheeks turned solemn.

He turned around and looked at the watermelons and melons on the table.

"Otomo ......"

Zhu Xiongying stared at the watermelon with a serious look in his eyes.

"Did you say this melon is ripe?"

Without waiting for Zhou Kuan to answer, Zhu Xiongying shook his head lightly and grinned: "Unfamiliar ......"

He picked up the melon, threw it into the soil and smashed it, and used it to feed the chickens.

He frowned violently, and suddenly said to himself: "My stepmother's father, Lord Lu Benlu, once worked as a salt transfer envoy in both Zhejiang, do you know how profitable is salt?" ”

……

On the other side, Lu Shi led Zhu Yunwen and walked slowly.

Zhu Yunxi was lonely, hanging his head, and even the palace maid didn't pay much attention to him.

There is no way, the current master of the East Palace is the Lu family.

If any palace maid is too good to Zhu Yunxi, something will happen......

An old man of the Lu family, who was born as an in-housekeeper, bowed his body and said, "Niangniang, what to do with this Huaiguo?" ”

The Lu family tilted his head and glanced at the old man of the Lu family, and frowned: "You said that Xiongying is so precocious, has anyone taught him?" ”

The old man of the Lu clan frowned and shook his head.

"The emperor's eldest grandson is young and intelligent, but his mind is not pure, he does not poetry and Confucianism, he does not study the scriptures, it is not the right way, he is obscene and skillful, all of them are studied by inferior people, how can he be willing to fall?"

Lu's eyes flashed.

Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips, his dark eyes flickered, and said: "Mother, it's not, eldest brother said, these things are all practical things, hard work prospers the country, and it is useless to read dead books." ”

The old man of the Lu clan was shocked.

"Your Royal Highness Yun Wei, how can you speak like this, my Lu family, a family of poetry and books for generations, cultivating and reading heirlooms, if you don't learn Confucianism, how can the Lu family be noble now, you must not learn that crooked heresy, you must study hard, reading is the right way!"

The crown princess Lu also narrowed her eyes, and her narrow eyes hooked.

She glanced at the Huai Gu that Zhu Xiongying offered to her, and said, "Stir-fry this Huai Gu with leek eggs and lard in the way Zhu Xiongying offered, and give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to eat." ”

"Yes......"
