Chapter 10: The Invitation of the King of Shu

The princes and grandsons cheered loudly and discussed with each other the time arrangement for tomorrow's rest.

Among them, Zhu Xiongying found Lan Bin for the first time, and said with great interest: "Cousin, tomorrow I will rest, I will go to your house to play with you, okay?" ”

"Eldest nephew, of course I personally welcome you to go to my house to play, but whether you can leave the palace or not, it's not you and me who have the final say, it's up to your imperial grandfather and your father to have the final say!" Lan Bin stopped abruptly and said euphemistically.

Just kidding, Zhu Xiongying is the eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang and the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's formulation of the Emperor's ancestral teachings, Zhu Xiongying is the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no one.

Zhu Xiongying can find Zhu Yuanzhang by himself and beg to go out of the palace to play. But whether he wanted it or not, he couldn't say yes.

In case Zhu Yuanzhang, who is suspicious by nature, suspects that he instigated Zhu Xiongying to go out of the palace to play, it is okay that nothing happens, at most he will be trained. But if something happens, the heads of the Yongchang Houfu will not be enough to cut off.

"As long as you welcome your cousin. I'm going to find the emperor's grandfather, cousin, you wait for me, you must wait for me! ”

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly said a word and ran out.

"Wait..."

Lan Bin couldn't stop it, so he could only watch Zhu Xiongying run away, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, I hope this little guy won't talk nonsense in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Otherwise, it's over.

Thinking about it, he wanted to go directly, but after thinking about it, if Zhu Xiongying explained Zhu Yuanzhang and didn't see him when he came back, wouldn't he be disappointed. will even complain about himself as an uncle.

Slowly, he will have to rely on Zhu Xiongying in the future, even if he and Zhu Xiongying's relationship are not allowed to leave like this.

In the end, he had no choice but to sit back in his place and wait.

"Lan Bin, let's go!"

After cheering, the princes walked towards the outside of the main hall, and when they passed by Lan Bin, they didn't forget to say a word.

During these days, the princes and Lan Bin got along very harmoniously, and there was no bullshit. It's not that the princes have a good temper, but that the relationship between Zhu Xiongying and Lan Bin is even better than that with them, protecting Lan Bin everywhere.

And Lan Bin is extremely low-key, sensible, and respectful to them, so that people can't make mistakes.

Moreover, Lan Bin is still the little marquis of Yongchang Houfu, and his brother-in-law is Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.

They have a temper, and they don't dare to shoot at Lan Bin.

Lan Bin got up and sent them off one by one.

"Uncle, tomorrow in the drunken immortal building of Qinhuai River, there will be a cultural meeting. Come with me! Zhu Chun, who was the last to go, came to Lan Bin's side and invited.

These days, he has long seen that Lan Bin has an opinion about himself.

As for what his opinion is, he also knows it, but because he doesn't have a sister himself, and the other sisters are not born to the same mother, he can't understand Lan Bin's feelings.

However, this did not hinder his desire to befriend Lan Bin.

First, after Zhu Yuanzhang decreed the marriage, whether he and Lan Bin were willing or not, the fate of his Shu King and Yongchang Houfu had been connected, breaking bones and connecting tendons.

Second, although he is a prince, he has no foundation outside the palace, and some things and some places have to rely on the help of Yongchang Houfu.

And Lan Bin is the only son of the Yongchang Houfu, and it is certain that he will inherit the title of Yongchang Marquis in the future.

Being good friends with Lan Bin has only advantages and no harms.

Lan Bin raised his eyebrows, and said with an unkind gaze: "Drunken Immortal Building, it seems to be Qinglou!" ”

If it weren't for the place where he was, he would still be in the main hall and still in the palace. If it weren't for Zhu Chun being the prince who had been crowned king, he would have wanted to spit on Zhu Chun's face, your uncle, I'm your brother-in-law, what do you mean by taking me to Qinglou?

"Uh, uncle... Brother Bin, although the Drunken Immortal Building is a green building, it is different from other green buildings, there are no pickled things. ”

Zhu Chun naturally knew what Lan Bin meant, and hurriedly explained: "Besides, we are going to participate in the cultural meeting and exchange knowledge, not a prostitute!" ”

"Nonsense, where can't the Wenhui be held, do you have to choose it in the Qinglou? It's clearly under the guise of a cultural meeting, and it's just a collective prostitute! Lan Bin pouted.

Not long after he came to Yongchang Houfu, he was dragged by his cousin Chang Sen to a trip to the Qinglou.

Usually those well-dressed literati, when they arrived at the Qinglou, they were all unruly and ugly.

This is not counting, the most shameful thing is that those literati, obviously visiting the Qinglou and holding prostitutes, but in the name of such a literary meeting, such an exchange of knowledge, etc., a group of double-standard dogs.

Disgraceful.

Zhu Chun was choked up, and said with some confidence: "Not all the literary meetings held in the Qinglou are prostitutes. There are also..."

"Don't explain, explanation is a cover-up! I'm not interested in a group of sanctimonious people holding a literary meeting. And..."After Lan Bin waved his hand to stop it, he stared at Zhu Chun again, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you like to read and get close to Confucianism, it's all right." But you have to remember that you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the prince. ”

"Your every move is seen by people with a heart, and you can't discredit the emperor!"

Zhu Chun felt uncomfortable for a while, he kindly invited Lan Bin to attend the literary meeting, but he didn't want to be invited, and he was rewarded with a few meals.

However, he also knew that Lan Bin was for his good, and said in silence: "I know, that king will go first!" ”

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Lan Bin saw that Zhu Chun didn't say that he wasn't going, so he knew that he still hadn't changed his mind, sighed secretly in his heart, and saluted.

Zhu Chun looked at Lan Bin for a moment, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and left with the eunuchs who greeted him.

After the King of Shu left, Lan Bin was left alone in the main hall, and he continued to sit in his position and wait.

Tea Kung Fu, when Lan Bin was waiting impatiently, there was a rush of footsteps outside the main hall.

Lan Bin thought it was Zhu Xiongying coming, so he hurriedly got up and greeted him, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the main hall, he saw a eunuch trotting over: "Young Master Lan, the emperor announced that you are here!" ”

What did Xiongying say in front of the emperor?

Lan Bin's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law, may I ask the emperor to find me, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Slaves don't know!" The eunuch shook his head and said, "Young Master Lan, hurry up!" Don't let the emperor wait. ”

"Please lead the way!" Lan Bin said.

"Young Master Lan, you're welcome!"

The eunuch nodded, left the main hall with Lan Bin, walked through the palaces, and came to the outside of the Qianqing Palace where Zhu Yuanzhang worked every day.

The eunuch stopped, turned sideways and said, "Young Master Lan, the emperor is waiting for you inside, you can go in quickly!" ”

"Father-in-law, don't you need to report it?" Looking at the Qianqing Palace close at hand, Lan Bin was inexplicably a little panicked and stopped moving.

The eunuch smiled and said: "The emperor has explained, Lan Gongzi has arrived, just go in directly, no need to report!" ”

Lan Bin had no choice but to say goodbye to the eunuch, hurriedly entered the Qianqing Palace with his head down, raised his eyes and swept Zhu Xiongying, sitting in front of the imperial case, on a chair, Zhu Yuanzhang with a bad face.

looked at Zhu Xiongying who looked at him expectantly. I felt a bad feeling in my heart, and I was about to kneel.

"Excuse me!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang stopped it first, he said: "Lan Bin, our good grandson is clamoring to leave the palace, and he is still clamoring to go to your house, what do you think?" ”

I'm watching from the sidelines, okay?
