At this time, it was already dusk, and there was silence in the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a poor appetite, and only drank a bowl of gruel, so he leaned on the couch and gossiped with Zhang Meiren on the side.

He only suffered a little heat stroke, and after drinking a pair of Taiyi's Chinese medicine, he already felt that his spirit had improved, but he was just a little dizzy.

"Aifei, when will you give birth to a dragon son for me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhang Meiren's little hand and rubbed it gently.

Zhang Meiren's face was flushed, and she said in a coquettish voice:

"There are a lot of concubines in the palace, and Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, but I haven't come to the concubines here for some days."

The meaning of her words is obvious, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang, if you don't come, who will I go with to have a child.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, but didn't answer.

He already has many children, and he doesn't feel anything more than one or less, and the sentence just now is just a casual remark.

He looked at the young and beautiful Zhang Meiren, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not Qin Shi Huang, and he does not seek the way of immortality, so he naturally knows that no one can change the law of birth, old age, sickness and death.

It's just that after her death, this Zhang Meiren can be regarded as helpless, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, she can only live alone in the palace, which is indeed a bit bleak.

Zhang Meiren didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking at the moment, but when she saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, she could only bow her head and be silent.

She peeked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little old, and a trace of worry appeared in her heart.

"When Your Majesty was here, I was very favored, but if Your Majesty is gone, how will I live in the future?"

This question has actually been haunting her mind, and she originally wanted to be able to conceive the dragon seed as soon as possible, so that even if His Majesty is not there one day, she can have something to rely on.

But it backfired, and after so long, my stomach didn't react at all.

"Could it be the consequence of practicing that Hundred Flowers Dafa?"

She frowned slightly, and then shook her head again.

The Hundred Flowers Dafa can only make her charm and room techniques more and more sophisticated, and it has nothing to do with whether she can conceive a child, which her master Luan Yu has already told her.

But if that's not the reason, then why?

This question made her a little restless, and she wanted to use her charm immediately, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could pamper herself and increase her chances of conception, but looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little tired, she finally dispelled this idea.

"Well, let it be."

She sighed softly inwardly and stopped thinking about it.

"Aifei, what do you think of this child?"

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang asked such a sentence thoughtlessly.

Zhang Meimei's body trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to answer.

Although she stays in this Hundred Flowers Palace every day, she is not blind to things outside the window, and naturally knows that there is a lot of controversy over the position of the crown prince in the court now.

She Zhang Xuanmiao is just an insignificant beauty, how dare she easily express any opinions?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Xuanmiao and knew that she didn't dare to answer, but this question made him feel a little irritable, so he said:

"You might as well be bold and say it, just think it's good to be at home with Zhenlala."

Zhang Xuanmiao knew that if he didn't speak at the moment, it was estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang would be angry immediately, so he said softly;

"Today, the little second master has been here all day, and the concubine is very sad to see him."

Having said this, it was impossible for Zhang Xuanmiao to show any praise for Zhu Yunwen, she could only talk about things.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that it was Lala's homework, she was not a fool, and she knew that if she was not careful, she would bring disaster to herself, so it was already a great risk to be able to say this.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "At this point, Yun Wei is very similar to the standard." ”

Then he asked, "What about Yun Xi?" What do you think of this kid? ”

"This?"

Zhang Xuanmiao was really a little embarrassed, because he didn't know anything about Zhu Yunxi, and even this time, he and Zhu Yunxi had only met two or three times.

She pondered in her heart, and for a while she didn't know how to say it in order to fool Zhu Yuanzhang over.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to expect Zhang Xuanmiao to say anything, looking at the other party's embarrassed look, he just smiled and didn't ask any further.

The room was a little quiet, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth hooked up a smile, and he remembered Zhu Yunxi's series of performances since he fell into the water, and only after a long time did he say to himself:

"Yun Hee doesn't really look like his father, but it's interesting."

Zhang Xuanmiao's beautiful eyes flashed, although he didn't know what some of the meanings in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth meant, but from this sentence alone, it could be judged that His Majesty the Emperor had not made the final decision on the choice of the crown prince.

This confused her a little.

The harem seems to be calm, but in fact, since the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, there has been an undercurrent, because it is an indisputable fact that Zhu Yuanzhang is old, and everyone will think about the future and make some preparations for it.

Although Zhang Xuanmiao is just a low-grade beauty, she naturally thinks about this problem when she hears it and sees it.

She's only in her early twenties this year, and she still has a long time ahead of her, and thinking about it gives her a bit of a headache.

Outside, Zhizhi was still roaring hoarsely, adding a little irritation, and although the house was burning with mosquito repellent grass, there were still some mosquitoes buzzing around in her ears.

A small red envelope has been swollen on her delicate arm at some point, a little itchy, and her fair ankle seems to have been bitten, she hurriedly shrunk her foot into the skirt, but the weather was too hot, and after a while, she only had to helplessly stretch her foot out of the skirt.

Zhu Yuanzhang may have rough skin and thick meat, although there are mosquitoes flying around, but he is not like Zhang Xuanmiao, who is bitten all over his body.

He looked at the small bag on Zhang Xuanmiao's arm and felt a little distressed, but he was helpless, although he was the emperor, he couldn't control these mosquitoes.

There was a sound of knocking footsteps outside the house, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and said in his heart Who is so unruly that he dares to make noise in the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Zhang Xuanmiao also immediately raised his head, and then saw one of Zhu Yunxi's heads.

Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned, but Zhang Xuanmiao stood up and walked to the door.

"Little Third Master, why are you here?"

She asked.

Zhu Yunxi scratched his head meaninglessly and said:

"I'm thinking about Grandpa Huang, so let's take a look."

Didn't you just come here in the afternoon....... Zhang Xuanmiao looked at Zhu Yunxi and laughed in her heart: "It seems that these two brothers are not willing to be idle for a moment for that position." ”

In her heart, she naturally thought that when Zhu Yunxi came in the afternoon, she saw Zhu Yunxi waiting for Zhang in this Zhu Yuan, so she waited until this time to come.

Zhu Yunxi walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and reached out to take out the wind oil essence and cool oil from his arms.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson made these two things, and you won't suffer from heat stroke in the future."

As he spoke, he handed these two things to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two things in his hand and asked with some doubts.

"It's wind oil essence and cooling oil."

Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandpa Huang only needs to smear this thing on the temples on both sides, and he won't suffer from heat stroke anymore." ”

"Is it so amazing?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it."

Zhu Yunxi said as he picked up some cool oil with his fingernails and smeared it on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a cool feeling spreading from his forehead, and his originally somewhat drowsy mind became sober.

"Well, it seems to be very effective."

He said in his mouth, but he heard Zhu Yunxi say:

"Grandpa Huang, these things can not only prevent heat stroke, but also prevent and treat mosquito bites."

"Oh, and this feature?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the wind oil essence and cool oil in his hand, and smiled at Zhang Xuanmiao:

"That's right, you can try it and see if Yunxi's thing is so magical."

Zhang Xuanmiao snorted, felt a hint of snorting, frowned and said:

"Your Majesty, this thing smells so bad."

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yunxi immediately took out the flower water and said with a smile:

"If you want to use it, of course you use this."

Zhang Xuanmiao took the flower water with a puzzled face, uncorked the bottle, and immediately smelled a good fragrance.

"It's called toilet water, and when you take a few drops in the bath, the fragrance can be retained on the skin."

Zhu Yunxi immediately began to explain: "And what's even more amazing is that if you drop a few drops of flower water on your clothes, mosquitoes will not dare to bite, if you are accidentally bitten by mosquitoes, as long as you apply this thing, you can immediately stop itching and reduce swelling." ”

"Then I'll try."

Zhang Xuanmiao estimated that she was itching in a panic, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and smeared the flower water on her arms.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Xuanmiao's white and tender lotus arms, feeling a little embarrassed, and wanted to turn around immediately, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Xuanmiao, they didn't seem to realize this at all, and they didn't even look at themselves.

He suddenly realized: "It turns out that I am just a child in their hearts, and if I am like this, it seems that I have a ghost in my heart." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Xuanmiao both stared at that arm tightly, and after a while, Zhang Xuanmiao exclaimed in surprise:

"Oops, it really doesn't seem to itch anymore."

After another moment, the red bag on that arm gradually disappeared, and its snow-white complexion returned.

Looking at such a magical scene, Zhang Xuanmiao was amazed.

"Is this your invention again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, "If it weren't for the emperor's grandfather suffering from heat stroke, Yunxi wouldn't have thought of making this thing." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and slapped Zhu Yunxi's head directly.

"Stinky boy, are you hoping that your imperial grandfather will get sick again?"

Zhu Yunxi shrank his head and said with a smile: "Imperial Grandpa Hongfu Qitian, he won't get sick." ”

These words are so hypocritical that even Zhang Xuanmiao feels goosebumps when she listens to them.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Only you, this kid, dare to talk to me like this." ”

Zhu Yunxi scratched his head and sneered:

"If this thing is distributed to every soldier, I wonder if it will have any effect on the war?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and immediately slapped and shouted:

"How could it not work?"

"This has a big effect, if you think about it, summer marching is the most prone to heat stroke, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the wild, if you have this thing, I don't know how much the pain of the soldiers will be alleviated."

Hehe, the old man is quite good...... Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened, and he said in surprise:

"So it has such a big effect?"

"Why do I feel like I've made a meritorious service again?"

Zhang Xuanmiao, who was on the side, was amused by Zhu Yunxi's deliberately cute appearance, and she said to Zhu Yuanzhang in a coquettish voice:

"Your Majesty, the third master has made such a great achievement, you can reward him."

"Say, what do you want Grandpa Huang to reward you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood and asked with a smile:

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes and said, "Grandpa Huang, I want to live outside the palace, or you can give me a house." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to make a request, and asked curiously:

"What, isn't it comfortable to live in the palace?"

"It's not,"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head again and again: "It's just that my business is getting bigger and bigger now, and it's really inconvenient to live in the palace." ”

As soon as he heard the three words of business, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows wrinkled, and he said unhappily:

"It's business again, is that all you have in mind is this?"

Zhu Yunxi spread his hands and said with some grievances:

"But I don't have much to do other than that!"

He said this on purpose, now that he has made up his mind to compete for the position of the crown prince, it is naturally impossible to do it like before, only by doing something can he gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, and only then can the Hongwu Emperor rest assured that he will put Daming into his own hands.

But it was impossible to say this by himself, so he could only lure Zhu Yuanzhang to bring it up and ask him to do something.

Sure enough, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he fell into thought.

Yes, it's a mule or a horse to pull it out and slip around, and I didn't give the two emperors and grandsons a chance at all, so how do you know which of these two people is the most suitable to sit in that position?

He thought for a while and said to Zhu Yunxi:

"From tomorrow onwards, you and Yun Wei will come to participate in the morning in the future, don't think about making money all day long."

Is this to me and Zhu Yunwen on the same stage?

...... Zhu Yunxi nodded, but there was a little expectation in his heart.

After a while, Zhu Yunxi left the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Zhang Xuanmiao covered her mouth and smiled: "The third master is really smart, the concubine heard that many people have made a lot of money with him." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Smart is smart, but it's not used in the right path." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the little third master didn't read much, you let him participate in the early dynasty, can he understand? Will there be any jokes? ”

Zhang Xuanmiao took Zhu Yunxi's toilet water, so she can remind Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, and it can be regarded as a foreshadowing for Zhu Yunxi first, so as not to make Zhu Yunxi make a joke to make Zhu Yuanzhang angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhang Xuanmiao, and snorted in his nose:

"This kid is very slippery, everyone used to think that he didn't read, but do you know that he can not only write poetry, but also write books."

Yes?

...... Zhang Xuanmiao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief, but listened to Zhu Yuanzhang continue:

"By the way, the Journey to the West that you talk about every day was written by this kid, do you still think he hasn't read a book?"

"Huh? It was written by the third master? ”

Zhang Xuanmiao exclaimed, her black and white eyes full of surprise.

"That's why I said this kid is very."

"But why did he do this?"

Zhang Xuanmiao blurted out.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face became a little gloomy, and he sighed after a long time:

"He's timid, so he's afraid."

When Zhang Xuanmiao heard this, her heart suddenly chuckled, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
