Chapter 20: Reading with the East Palace

Jing Kun has been with him for the past two days, and he has already understood his stubbornness, so he couldn't help but sigh and smile: "Your Highness was playing outside two nights ago, and occasionally felt cold, and today he is still sick. ”

When the little eunuch heard Jing Kun say this, his face was slightly gentle, he nodded, and said again: "Then please ask Your Highness to accept the order." ”

**Bo listened to Jing Kun's words, and remembered that if he was strong and collided, he was exposed because of a small loss and the identity of this fake King Ning, which would inevitably affect Xu Ying and his father Xu Da, so he endured his grievances at the moment, knelt down in front of the little eunuch, and said: "Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, Weichen, receives the will." "But in my heart, I secretly said: I thought that I would be a prince and majestic, how could I be so wretched, I had to kneel when I saw the prince, I had to kneel when I saw the emperor, and now I have to pretend to be a grandson when I see this boy who is not beaten. I was extremely aggrieved in my heart, and I couldn't help but curse viciously in secret.

The little eunuch saw the grievances on his face, and his heart was happy, and he picked up the holy decree made by Huang Aya in his hand and unfolded it, and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Ning Wang Zhu Quan, Min Rui and studious, I specially edict that from today onwards, he will enter the East Palace every hour to accompany the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, and he will be here." After reading it, he collected the holy decree and handed it to **Bo, and said coldly: "The decree has arrived, and our family will go here." After saying that, he turned his head and was about to leave.

Jing Kun took a step closer, smiled and asked, "Please ask my father-in-law, is there any other prince who entered the East Palace with His Royal Highness?" ”

The little eunuch recognized that the old scholar in front of him was King Ning's teacher, so he didn't dare to make too much of a mistake, and replied: "The Holy Lord only instructed our family to summon King Yan, and the two royal highnesses of King Ning entered the palace to accompany him. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the ** Bo standing on the side, and said softly: "There are more than twenty princes, but Your Majesty has only summoned two of His Royal Highnesses." How many princes can't ask for it. With that, he turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Jing Kun looked at the hateful ** wave on the side, felt slightly funny in his heart, and accompanied him towards the outside of the palace.

Out of the gate, the two got into the royal car that Zhou Jin had already prepared, dropped the curtain, and headed towards the palace.

Jing Kun sat in the car, although he saw that ** Bo was sullen, he still said lightly: "The emperor specially summoned you to the palace to accompany the emperor and grandson, I don't know what the intention is, remember to be careful about this trip, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”

"How old is the emperor's grandson? Am I going to kneel to him? **Bo snorted in his nose and asked angrily, he naturally understood the true meaning of Jing Kun's words, be careful, and lose big because of the small.

Jing Kun sighed lightly and said, "The monarch is humble and humble, as it should be. The emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunwen, is Zhu Biao's son-in-law, 12 years old this year. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is twenty years old, and he is the fourth brother of His Royal Highness, although the old man has never seen it, he is afraid that he should not be underestimated. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered his friend, the monk Daoyan who was the teacher of Yan Wang. Heart: Although the old monk is in Buddhism, he is as ambitious as the old man, and he has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, so he is naturally unwilling to be lonely. Zhu Yuanzhang has so many sons, but Dao Yan only chose this Yan King Zhu Di, which shows that this son is not a long-lived person.

"What should be like this? It's a matter of course. "** Bo Leng said.

Half an hour later, the king car came to the main gate of Hongwu outside the palace, got out of the car, and ** Bo was about to stride into the palace. Hearing the noise of the carriage and horses behind him, he turned his head to look, only to see a royal car similar to his own car came to his side and stopped, and when the curtain was lifted, a young man about twenty years old stepped out of the car, and laughed at himself: "Brother Quan, I haven't seen you for half a year, I heard that you were infected with a small illness last month, and I wanted to visit the house, but I am afraid that my father and emperor will be annoyed, you have a large number of adults, but I have to forgive the fourth brother." "There was a lot of affection between the words.

**Bo saw the other party's Wang Che, he had already guessed the identity of the other party, and after careful inspection, he saw that this young man was quite tall and strong, and he was half a head taller than himself, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, the bridge of his nose was erect, and his eyes were bright, which was quite fierce. **Bo was slightly strange in his heart, but he still stepped forward with a smile, slapped the other party's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, it's good that you know your mistakes, and it depends on what you make amends." He saw that the other party's identity was his brother, and his attitude was quite close to himself, so that he could also pretend to be affectionate.

**Bo didn't know that this Yan King Zhu Di and his fake Ning King Zhu Quan were half-brothers, and they only looked alike in two ways.

Yan Wang Zhu Di punched him, and said with a smile: "That foolish brother will set up a table for you to accompany the sin wine for the virtuous brother another day, you have to get it." When he said this, he wondered slightly, and said secretly: Why did Zhu Quan's kid suddenly become so strong? It seems that he has practiced some martial arts, it seems that he is also a hidden person, remembering that his father Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly summoned his seventeenth brother to the East Palace to accompany him, and he thought that he was also quite praised. Zhu Di is a deep person in the city, and at this moment he is already secretly wary of ** wave. The smile on his face did not show the slightest flaw.

Jing Kun stepped forward to salute, and secretly thought in his heart: "This Yan King Zhu Di seems to be rude, and his words are decent, and he should not be underestimated. Although the fake monk Daoyan is sanctimonious, his vision is not bad, and he must have his talent when he chooses the person he assists. Thinking of this, he turned his head, looked at ** Bo with some meaning, said goodbye and turned around, and walked towards the Ning Palace. Although he wanted to accompany ** Bo into the palace, he couldn't enter the palace without the holy decree, and he was helpless.

**Bo and Zhu Di walked into Hongwumen side by side, and followed a eunuch in the palace in the direction of the East Palace.

Walking on the royal road, there are palace eunuchs, palace maids, and forbidden army sergeants in the distance, bowing to the side of the road, welcoming the two princes.

Seeing their respectful appearance, Bo said in his heart: I knelt alone in the morning, and now there are no less than dozens of people kneeling me. It's not too much of a loss, but when I think of this, I can't help but feel a little happy. Zhu Di smiled and chatted with **Bo, and said secretly in his heart: Zhu Quan, this kid, has not seen anything outstanding on weekdays, and may not be loved by his father. ”

After a cup of tea, the two came to the East Palace area, only to see that the palace here is brilliant, carved beams and paintings, and the yellow glazed tiles on the roof are more and more solemn and solemn by the sun.

After turning around for a while, the two came to the bottom of the steps outside the hall where Zhu Biao, the prince of the East Palace, was located. The eunuch who led the way bowed and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's study, the servants dare not trespass without being called, so I will ask the two Highnesses to take care of themselves." With that, he turned and left.

When I got up the stairs and entered the large study, I saw that the shelves were full of books under the four walls. In the middle of the study are three small low desks, each with a chair in front of it. Directly in front of a large desk and a Taishi chair are placed behind it, the tables and chairs are made of agarwood, and the smoke of sandalwood wafts from a copper incense burner in the corner of the wall. An elder and a young man were standing in the middle of the study and talking.

**Bo looked at it intently, the green Chinese New Year's Eve was more than 1 years old, wearing a cyan scarf, wearing a blue robe, simple and generous, medium but slightly thin, black hair, handsome appearance, a pair of Danfeng eyes under the sword eyebrows, an angular mouth, and a scholar's dress, looking at himself and Zhu Di. The young man was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little doll, with clear eyebrows, snow-white skin, porcelain doll-like appearance, and a pair of flexible big eyes were looking at himself and Zhu Di coldly.

Zhu Di hurried two steps, overtook ** Bo, bowed to the two of them, one eldest and one young, and knelt down, and said: "Weichen Zhu Di, see His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun." ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled with satisfaction: "That's it, you should meet Mr. first in this study, it's not me, remember next time, and get up." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he stood up and stood aside.

**Bo had already made up his mind on the way into the palace, he couldn't lose his identity because of a small loss, at this time, he was reluctant to do so, but he had to reluctantly take a step forward, and before he knelt down, he heard Zhu Yunwen say coldly: "Why don't you kneel down and salute?" ”

**Bourbon wanted to see the salute, but when he heard the other party say this, he couldn't bow anymore, stood up straight, looked at Zhu Yunwen's childish attitude, trying to pretend to be calm and calm, and Zhu Di next to him had a silent expression, couldn't help but laugh, and said: "As a prince, why doesn't this Mr. Fang salute me?" ”

Seeing that he was so rude, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Your Majesty once said in person that in this study, only the etiquette of teachers and students, the order of the elder and the young, and there is no dignity and humility of monarchs and ministers. ”

**Bohaha laughed and bowed to the ground, obliquely only bowed to Mr. Fang, and only said: "Student Zhu Quan to meet Mr. Fang." As he spoke, he secretly comforted himself in his heart: This Mr. Fang is much older than me, and he is now my teacher, but the students are not at a loss when they worship the teacher.
