Zhu Gui changed his clothes and came to the front hall, and when he saw that the tea cup and pastries in front of Zhu Zhen didn't even move, he knew that his sixth brother was very worried.

"Sixth brother, which gust of wind blew you here today?"

When Zhu Lao Liu saw Zhu Gui, he subconsciously got up to greet him, but he felt that it was inappropriate as soon as he got up halfway, and sat back in embarrassment.

How could he say that he was also Zhu Gui's brother, how could he get up to greet his younger brother?

But after sitting down, he also reflected on why he was so confused.

Maybe it's because Zhu Gui has a concubine who spoils the harem, or maybe it's because Zhu Gui has a good relationship with Zhu Yunxi, or maybe it's because Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunxi are brothers-in-law?

When Zhu Zhen thought of this "brother-in-law", his heart was tired.

Father Huang Hu Tu, how can you agree to such an outrageous marriage!

"It's nothing, I just heard some rumors, and I came to confirm with the thirteenth brother."

As soon as Zhu Gui heard that it was a rumor, he had a rough idea in his heart.

"But the court wants to cut the knight?"

Zhu Zhen was taken aback when he heard this.

"You already knew!"

"So, it's true?"

Zhu Gui sat next to Zhu Zhen and smiled helplessly.

"To tell you the truth, I just heard Miaoqing mention it and only found out about it."

"This thing can't be done accurately, there must be a rumor that separates our heavenly flesh and blood!"

Zhu Zhen shook his head in disbelief and said.

"Not necessarily!"

"Your sixth sister-in-law has a nose and eyes, there is a high probability that this thing is true!"

When Zhu Gui saw the sixth brother say this, he also had a little curiosity in his heart.

"If it's convenient for the sixth brother, let's talk to my brother in detail and let my brother open his eyes?"

"According to your sixth sister-in-law, Zhu Yunxi's child not only has to cut off the title of the clan, but also detain the son and son of our vassal king as hostages in the capital, and cut our prince's ......."

Zhu Gui didn't care about cutting the lord and cutting the money, but when he heard that he was going to detain his son in the capital as a hostage, his face changed greatly.

After all, his eldest son is less than two years old, and it is the rarest time that he can't give up 10,000.

"Is that true?"

Zhu Zhen pursed his lips and said.

"Who can say for sure, that's what the streets say anyway!"

Zhu Gui slapped the table angrily when he heard this.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"From what I know about Zhu Yunxi, he is by no means such an insidious person, someone must be sowing discord!"

Zhu Zhen pursed his lips again when he heard this.

"I hope so!"

"Sixth brother came over today to ask you if you had heard any rumors before."

"Since you also know, then the sixth brother will go home first......

"I'll send the sixth brother ......"

When Zhu Gui returned to the dormitory after sending Zhu Lao Liu off, his face was full of sorrow.

Xu Miaoqing knows his prince too well, if he doesn't encounter a big event, he will never put his thoughts on his face.

"Lord Wang, but what bad news did the sixth brother say?"

Zhu Gui nodded when he heard this, but when he thought that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Seeing this, Xu Miaoqing hurriedly got off the bed, walked to Zhu Gui's side and gently comforted him.

"Lord Wang, you and I are husband and wife, one is prosperous, one is lost, no matter how big the matter, the concubine will bear it with you!"

Zhu Gui was moved to lean his head on Xu Miaoqing's body, and tears flowed down his eyes.

"The sixth brother told me just now...... said that Zhu Yunxi wanted to detain all the sons of the vassal kings in the capital as hostages......"

"I can't bear Zhu Xunxuan, he is so young, and no one takes care of him in the capital, what can he do, woo woo woo woo ......"

Xu Miaoqing's face was also pale when she heard this, but when she saw that her prince was crying, she could only pretend to be calm and clenched her small fists.

"Lord Wang, this must not be true!"

"Tomorrow, the concubine will go to Miaozhenguan and ask Xu Miaojin in person!"

"If she still recognizes me as a second sister, she will never do such a thing!"

"Lone also went to find Zhu Yunxi......"

Xu Miaoqing hurriedly dissuaded.

"Lord, don't go."

"Now it's different from the past, now Zhu Yunxi is the grandson of the emperor, and he has helped his father take care of the government for a long time, and he is no longer a child who plays with you in the main hall."

"You must be respectful to the imperial grandson in the future, and don't joke about your childhood, so as not to touch the taboo of the king."

"We are in the same vein as the king, and only by abiding by our duties and being obedient and courteous can we ...... for a long time"

Zhu Gui was obedient to his daughter-in-law, and when he saw his daughter-in-law dissuading him, he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Uh-huh!"

"Lonely listen to you!"

"To tell the truth, Lone is a little worried about that kid now, and I always feel that he is becoming more and more like his father......"

When Xu Miaoqing heard this, she slapped her prince on the head.

"What did you say!"

"Obviously, he is becoming more and more like the prince, with the same benevolence and righteousness as the prince, and the world in his heart!"

Zhu Gui glanced at his daughter-in-law in a daze when he heard this, and then the two looked at each other and laughed together.

Perhaps there is one thing in both of them, that is, "like my father" is not a compliment.

After a night of fermentation, almost all the kings of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing knew that the imperial grandson was going to cut the treatment of the clan.

Then these vassal kings were busy, and they went through the streets and alleys one by one to inquire. There are those who go to find familiar ministers, some who go to find familiar nobles, and some who go to Princess Lin'an and others to inquire, but no one asks Zhu Yunxi, and no one goes to the palace to ask the old man.

Zhu Yunxi had already known about their movements through Jinyiwei, and he was quite curious in his heart, so they didn't want to come over and ask me?

Just when Zhu Yunxi was thinking like this, he saw a female crown in a Taoist robe walk into the government affairs hall.

This woman is Xu Miaojin's personal maid Xiaoshi, and after following Xu Miaojin to become a monk, she fished out the name of a wonderful stone.

But whether it is Xu Miaojin or Zhu Yunxi, they are used to calling her Xiaoshi.

"Little Stone, why are you here, but your young lady misses me?"

As soon as Xiao Shi heard such unserious words as the imperial grandson, he couldn't help but slander in his heart.

The emperor's grandson's ability is really full-length!

I've been married to my own lady for so long, and I haven't stayed in Miaozhenguan once, which is really blind to my own lady's infatuation!

"Back to the imperial grandson, the princess came to see my young lady today, and my young lady would like to ask His Royal Highness to accompany ......"

Zhu Yunxi guessed what was going on after a little pondering when he heard this, he should have come to inquire about the clan's reduction of the lord, right?

"Good!"

"You go back and tell your young lady that Lone will come over later."

Xiao Shi said after giving Zhu Yunxi a salute.

"Poor road retirement!"

If Xiao Shi is most satisfied with the monk, it is estimated that he can call himself a slave without seeing people.

Even if she sees the imperial grandson, she can call herself a poor man.

Xiao Shi returned to Miaozhen Palace, and said proudly when he saw his own young lady and Xu Miaoqing.

"Miss Hui, the imperial grandson promised to come over in a while!"

Xu Miaojin didn't have any expression when she heard this, she just pursed her lips and snickered. Xu Miaoqing saw that her sister had such a big face, but she was sincerely happy for her sister.

"Third sister!"

"I didn't expect you to have such a big face, just send a little girl to invite the imperial grandson!"

"Seeing you so favored, the second sister is relieved!"

Xu Miaojin blushed when she heard this, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Second sister, what are you talking about, I am just a Taoist couple with the imperial grandson, not what you think......"

When Xu Miaoqing heard the words of the third sister, she couldn't help but laugh.

"You just pretend to be with me!"

"Where did the royal Taoist come from, it's just a trick to hide people's ears!"

"To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the relationship between the eldest sister and me, you wouldn't have suffered this grievance, and the position of the concubine wouldn't be cheaper than others!"

When Xu Miaoqing said this, she took her sister's little hand and whispered.

"Miaojin, how often do you talk to the imperial grandson?"

Xu Miaojin asked stupidly when she heard this.

"Which one?"

"Oh, that's it...... When you left the cabinet, didn't your mother order anyone to teach you? ”

When Xu Miaojin heard this, he immediately remembered the scene when he returned to his parents' house for the first time after he and Zhu Yunxi became a Taoist couple.

Her mother called her to the bedroom, found an old mother, and taught her a lot of embarrassing things.

"Second sister, I haven't ...... with the imperial grandson yet"

"Huh?"

Xu Miaojin looked at the second sister's face full of surprise, and hurriedly explained.

"It's not just me, the main concubine and the two side concubines in the North Palace are not ......"

"Huh?"

Xu Miaoqing's surprise was louder, in her mind, this was completely impossible.

I think that after she married that bastard Zhu Gui, that bastard couldn't wait to tie her to the bed every day!

The emperor's grandson has been married for so long, and he is not at all tempted to guard four beauties who are like flowers and jade, which is too unbelievable, right?

"What the hell is going on?"

"It stands to reason that even if he is not in a hurry, His Majesty the Emperor will not allow him......"

Xu Miaojin was so shy when she heard this that she almost buried her head in her chest.

"Don't blame him......"

"He is actually for our good, saying that we are too young and our bodies have not yet grown, and the probability of dystocia is ...... if we conceive at this time."

"This, this, this ......"

When Xu Miaoqing heard this, she suddenly remembered the version of the Emperor's ancestral training that she received last year, and it seemed that she really mentioned this matter, saying that a woman would have sex too early, which would be unfavorable to a woman.

But when her sons were all born, she was in the mood to look at these things, so she turned a few pages at random and put them on the offering table to eat ashes.

Xu Miaoqing stared at her sister's eyebrows again, and saw that her sister's eyebrows were slender and there was no sign of distraction, so she believed what her sister said.

Normally, if a woman has sexual intercourse, the eyebrows on her eyebrows will be scattered. Looking at his sister like this, he really hasn't experienced anything between men and women.

"Alas!"

"My hard-working sister, do you really want to be a Taoist aunt for the rest of your life?"

"Second sister, in fact, there is nothing bad about being a Dao aunt......

"And I don't have to eat fasting and chanting scriptures, I can play with the emperor's grandson every day, and I have a very happy time......"

Just as the two were talking in the boudoir, they suddenly heard a hearty laugh in the distance.

"My brother-in-law is late, and I ask my second aunt to forgive me, hahaha!"

Xu Miaoqing is really worried about talking to Zhu Yunxi, and now when he hears him say this, he has a spectrum in his heart.

Since he calls himself his second aunt, then he should treat him as his brother-in-law.

"The courtiers meet the imperial grandson!"

"Excuse me!"

"Come on, bring up the lychees that Gu brought to the second aunt!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's voice fell, four or five little eunuchs walked up carrying a lychee tree planted in a wooden barrel.

When Xu Miaoqing saw the lychee tree, she was so surprised that her eyes almost fell off.

It's October, and although it's not very cold, it shouldn't be such a treasure, right?

Xu Miaoqing was stunned, but when she looked at Xu Miaojin again, she saw that Xu Miaojin was not the slightest surprised, and she was even more surprised in her heart.

Could it be that this kind of thing is common?

Didn't you say that the imperial grandson was the most frugal, how could he do such a wasteful thing?

Zhu Yunxi saw Xu Miaoqing's surprise and hurriedly explained with a smile.

"This is a late-maturing variety unique to Lingnan, and today several navy teams returned to Beijing to report on their work, and they were specially brought back for Gu to try."

"I thought that my second aunt would go back to Beijing for a long time, so I specially brought you a tree to taste."

Xu Miaoqing saw Zhu Yunxi say this, and she was a little relieved.

"Concubines, thank you for the reward from the imperial grandson!"

Xu Miaojin saw that Zhu Yunxi was coming, and hurriedly beckoned someone to serve the food, and personally held a pot to fill Zhu Yunxi and the second sister with a glass of fruit wine.

Xu Miaoqing looked at the wine in the cup, and her panic eased a little again.

It seems that the imperial grandson is still the same as before, and he is not addicted to wine......

Xu Miaoqing thought of this, and hurriedly sighed a few times in her heart.

She really hopes that the imperial grandson can indulge in lust, at least her third sister doesn't have to keep the empty boudoir alone!

When a group of dishes were served, Xu Miaoqing immediately knew that the imperial grandson was still the original imperial grandson, and he had not become extravagant.

The table full of chicken, duck, fish, and various seasonal vegetables is a rare delicacy in the homes of ordinary people, but it can be placed between the royal family and the nobles, and it is just the standard configuration for banquets on weekdays, and it is definitely not excessive.

The three of them sat down to eat, and when they ate, they just talked about some border matters, as well as interesting things about Zhu Xunxuan's weekdays.

Just when Xu Miaoqing didn't know how to turn the topic to the matter of the clan's reduction of the lord, Zhu Yunxi seemed to see through her heart and mentioned the matter very intimately.

"Second aunt is visiting today, but I want to ask about the title of the clan?"

Xu Miaoqing hurriedly left the table when she heard this, and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Back to the emperor's grandson, the courtiers didn't believe those rumors, and they didn't care about the matter of cutting the lord or not, but someone said that the court wanted to detain the son of the vassal king in the capital as a hostage, and the courtier's daughter was a mother for the first time, so she was really worried in her heart, so she pretended to visit the third sister to inquire about the news......"

Xu Miaojin saw that the second sister was kneeling, and she hurriedly stood up and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was sitting on the side worriedly.

"Yoon-hee...... Is this true? ”

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xu Miaojin, then at Xu Miaoqing, and then nodded.

"It's a bit true!"

Xu Miaojin felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, and when Xu Miaoqing heard this, he felt that his eyes were dark, his body shook a few times, and he almost fainted on the spot.

When Zhu Yunxi saw her like this, he hurriedly ordered someone to help her up, and sent someone to call the imperial doctor.

Xu Miaoqing hurriedly waved his hand.

"The concubine is fine!"

"The concubine is just pregnant, lacking qi and blood, and is not in the way......"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly congratulated when he heard this.

"Congratulations in advance!"

Xu Miaoqing smiled bitterly when she heard this.

"What's there to congratulate here, it's just another hostage......

Zhu Yunxi's face immediately sank when he heard this, and he called the accompanying Jinyi guards over.

"Ordered someone to investigate, why did it come out that the hostages were so outrageous!"

"No!"

After Zhu Yunxi sent away the Jinyi guard, he solemnly said to Xu Miaoqing.

"Second aunt can put her heart in her stomach, what kind of person Lone is, you and Zhu Gui both know it."

"How could I hold your son hostage in Kyori?"

Xu Miaoqing's heart relaxed a little when she heard this, but her face was still a little unconvinced.

"Then you just ......"

"Alas!"

"Lone does have the intention of letting the son of the vassal king stay in Beijing, but he never thought about being a hostage, he just wants them to go to school in the capital and urge them to learn more useful knowledge."

"And at least wait until they grow up to eight years old, why are they left in Beijing if they are too young, and they are not ...... to coax children."

When Xu Miaoqing and Xu Miaojin heard Zhu Yunxi's complaint, their hearts were as cheerful as seeing the sun, and Xu Miaojin laughed even more.

"You will say strange things, and when those beauties in your palace give birth to children, see if you can coax you, hehe......"

Xu Miaoqing didn't dare to joke with Zhu Yunxi, and asked solemnly.

"Dare to ask the imperial grandson, eight-year-old children are too young, let them study in the capital, and there is no caring person around to take care of ......"

Zhu Yunxi interrupted Xu Miaoqing without waiting for her to finish.

"Lone allows the son of the vassal king to accompany and take care of it!"

"If the vassal king is not at ease, he can also visit Beijing from time to time!"

"And two winter and summer vacations a year are enough for them to go home to visit their relatives and share the joy of family with their parents."

"The reason why Gu has this arrangement is mainly because I am afraid that you will raise the descendants of the old Zhu family into wastes who only know how to eat, drink and have fun!"

"Since Lone bears the burden of the temple, he has to plan for the future generations of the Zhu family!"

When Xu Miaoqing heard Zhu Yunxi's words, she generally understood his intentions, and asked tentatively.

"The ...... of the knighthood"

"Cutting the knighthood is something else, and it is not a complete reduction of the low-level title, but a different form."

"And Lone will also lift some restrictions on the clan, allowing them to do business, politics, and the military, as long as they have talent, they will never be buried because of their clan status!"

"I, the son of the Zhu family, can also enter the phase and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty!"
