The noon gate is the Fengtian gate.

Inside is the main hall Fengtian Palace, the front of the palace is the Wen Building, the Wu Building, the back is the Huagai Palace, the Body Palace. Nowadays, in addition to the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Hall is the temple that Zhu Yuanzhang most often stays in.

His daily life, as well as dealing with various government affairs, were carried out in the Huagai Palace.

The red wall and yellow tile canopy hall is magnificent, and the whining north wind rolls up the plain snow in the sky, and the entire canopy hall is covered with plain white ice and snow, and a skate is hung on the eaves.

One by one, the palace ladies and eunuchs constantly cleaned up all kinds of snow and ice cubes hanging on the eaves, and some people swept the snow on the courtyard and steps with brooms from time to time, and kept that there was no thick snow covering the roof and ground of the palace at all times.

Zhu Yuanzhang likes to open the doors and windows of the palace widely, and there is no charcoal brazier in the palace for baking, so the temperature in the palace is very cold and freezing.

An old but still upright figure, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the falling snowflakes, the whole person is like a statue, dead and silent, it is Zhu Yuanzhang.

He didn't make a sound, and there was a dead silence in the hall, only the whining sound of wind and snow, and the rustle of Gong'e sweeping the snow in the distance.

"Emperor, it's time to eat."

Wang Jinghong cautiously came behind Zhu Yuanzhang and reminded him softly: "The imperial doctor has instructed you, the emperor, you need to eat on time now." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to come back to his senses, took his eyes back from the snow outside the window, and didn't take a second look at Wang Jinghong, and walked to the dining table and sat down with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he sat down, someone immediately took the steaming food from the food box and placed it in front of him, and then respectfully stepped aside to wait for orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word, and began to eat with an expressionless face.

"Your Majesty, King Yunxi is here."

Like a ghost, Jiang Zhen came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side lightly and reported to him: "He came over with a big box from the prince's mansion. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was picking vegetables, slowly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xuan, and a look of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes: "What is he carrying a big box for?" ”

"I don't know, my subordinates guess that it should be something that Your Majesty asked him to bring." Jiang Zhen reported truthfully: "He asked to see him outside the Huagai Palace, did he let him come in now?" ”

"You go and let him in now." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Whoa!"

Jiang Zhen received the order, turned around and left.

As soon as he turned around, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said again: "Wait." ”

Jiang Xuan hurriedly stopped and looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was holding chopsticks, seemed to ponder for a moment, and said to Jiang Zheng, who was waiting for him to speak: "You help him carry the big box in." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Jiang Zhen answered, turned around and walked out.

……

Outside the canopy hall.

Zhu Yunxi was waiting with a large box.

While he was waiting, Jiang Xuan walked out.

"Your Highness Yunxi, I'll help you carry it."

Jiang Xuan looked at Zhu Yunxi's huge box, his eyes were full of doubt, and he was very curious why this imperial grandson wanted to carry such a large box by himself, and it was easy to ask a few people to help him with his identity.

"No, you don't."

Zhu Yunxi listened to Jiang Xuan's words, and refused without hesitation: "I can do it myself, I don't want to borrow other people's hands for the things in this." ”

"Your Majesty asked me to help you carry it."

Jiang Xuan was very puzzled when he saw that Zhu Yunxi was obviously very tired, and he insisted on carrying a big box by himself.

"Not really."

Zhu Yunxi refused again, and then asked, "Did Grandpa Huang let me in?" ”

Jiang Xuan: "Yes. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhu Yunxi didn't say much, and under Jiang Xuan's surprised gaze, he took a step forward with a box weighing dozens of catties and walked into the Huagai Palace.

Carrying the box step by step up the stone steps of the Huagai Hall is undoubtedly a very tiring thing.

Jiang Zhen was very worried that this imperial grandson would not be able to hold on, and suddenly fell and injured himself.

Therefore, you can only follow behind you step by step, and be ready to shoot at any time.

"That's a tall step!"

Zhu Yunxi's shoulders were actually hurting terribly, and he was tired enough to choke and gasp for breath.

But he didn't mean to ask people to help him.

Still gritting his teeth and insisting on carrying the huge box, he walked up the white jade steps step by step.

Just when Zhu Yunxi was about to be exhausted.

He finally took the final step.

Without stopping, he slowly walked into the canopy hall with the big box on his shoulder.

In the Huagai Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was eating slowly, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head to look at the door, and then saw Zhu Yunxi looking at the box and walking in.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Zhu Yunxi carefully put the big box on the ground, and then held the box and gasped for breath.

"Why are you doing that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi's embarrassed appearance, and frowned: "Why is an emperor and grandson so embarrassed, and what kind of system has he become?" Didn't I ask Jiang Zhen to help you? ”

When Zhu Yunxi, who was out of breath, heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he took two deep breaths to make his breath a little smoother, and then replied: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't want any outsiders to touch my father's things." ”

"Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was indifferent, but a look of doubt flashed in his deep eyes.

"Because, what is in it is my father's things."

Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "Grandson doesn't want any outsiders to touch his father's things at will. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's hand that was picking up vegetables paused slightly, and finally took a serious look at Zhu Yunxi.

At this time, in the wind and snow clouds, a trace of sunlight naughtily tore through the clouds, shone in through the window lattice, and fell on Zhu Yunxi's face, which was golden and bright, and shadowed the fluff on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was holding chopsticks, looked at Zhu Yunxi's slightly immature young face, and his eyes were in a trance for a moment, as if in an instant, he saw the former appearance of his son Zhu Biao.

He also saw that there was a trace of sweat on Zhu Yunxi's forehead.

He was sweating in such a cold weather, which showed how tired he was from carrying that box just now.

"There is a heart, there is a heart."

After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses and took a deep look at the subtle sweat stains on Zhu Yunxi's face: "Wipe the sweat on your face, come and eat something with us." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to ask himself to eat with him, Zhu Yunxi was very surprised, and was slightly stunned, and did not react for a while.

There has never been such treatment before, not only him, but also Zhu Yunwen and these people do not have this treatment. Even if it is a New Year's holiday, their children and grandchildren are not qualified to sit at the same table with Zhu Yuanzhang to eat.

Moreover, he also keenly captured the word "we" that Zhu Yuanzhang just said, instead of the word "I", which is different from before.

"What is the pestle doing there?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Yunxi was stunned and did not move, and his brows furrowed.

"I just haven't eaten yet!"

Zhu Yunxi came back to his senses instantly, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then walked over, pulled out a chair and sat directly opposite Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang had been staring at his every move, and when he saw his smooth reaction, he quickly sat down in front of him, and a look of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.

What's wrong with this kid today?

In the past, this kid saw himself like a mouse saw a cat, and he was not afraid, why is there no fear today? So calm and calm?
