Chapter 53: Princess Yongchun
Jiang touched Zhu Houxi, who was coquettish in his arms, and said: "Okay, what is polite to your mother, the most important thing is that my family can be happy." ”
Zhu Houyu knew that Jiang was sincerely for her own good, as a mother, she would not force her son to do things she didn't like to do, as long as Zhu Houxi could be happy, she was even willing to compromise some etiquette for her son.
"Let's go, you should be hungry after a busy day, and the concubine for dinner asked her to prepare your favorite braised lion's head, as well as stir-fried shrimp."
Hearing that there was his favorite dish, Zhu Houxi immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, concubine." ”
Jiang asked people to pass the meal, so he and Zhu Houyu went to the main hall, and after a while, before the food came, Zhu Houxi's sister Zhu Xiuli came jumping up.
"Mother, big brother."
Looking at his sister's smiling appearance, Zhu Houxi's mood was also very happy.
"It's all big girls, you can't walk like this in the future, you have to be steady."
Zhu Xiuli didn't care about Zhu Houxi's words, but stuck out her tongue mischievously, made a grimace at Zhu Houxi, turned her head and began to complain to Princess Jiang of Xingxian: "Mother, look, eldest brother, he murdered me." ”
Of course, the Jiang family ignored Zhu Xiuli's small report, this is a matter between their brothers and sisters, as a mother, she really shouldn't favor anyone, and Zhu Houyu's words to educate Zhu Xiuli are indeed right, if she helps her son, she will make her daughter sad, if she helps her daughter, it will definitely hurt Zhu Xiuli, after all, before a woman in the Ming Dynasty gets married, she must learn the rules and etiquette, especially the daughter of the royal family, Zhu Xiuli will definitely have at least one title of county lord in the future.
Seeing that her mother didn't help her, Zhu Xiuli understood that she might not be reasonable this time, so she could only raise her mouth unhappily, twist her head to the side and no longer look at Zhu Houxi.
"Tomorrow, let the eldest brother find a palace man to teach the little sister the rules, so that I can find a good husband for the little sister in the future."
The marriage of Princess Yongchun in history can be described as twists and turns, and finally married Xie Zhao, but Xie Zhao is a Mediterranean, Princess Yongchun suddenly became the biggest joke in the capital, although she was happy in the end, but how could others know about the ups and downs in the middle.
Zhu Houxi, as Zhu Xiuli's eldest brother, of course would not allow his little sister to become a joke in the capital, so he had already made a plan to solve his brother-in-law's Mediterranean Sea before the little sister and Xie Zhao met.
Hearing Zhu Houxi mention finding her husband's family again, Zhu Xiuli said shyly: "Mother, look at the eldest brother, he hasn't found me a princess and sister-in-law yet, so he wants to marry my sister." ”
The princess didn't help when she saw her children bickering, but the smile on her face exposed the emotions in her heart.
Seeing that the little sister was still complaining, Zhu Houxi said with a smile: "I originally wanted to take you out to play tomorrow, but now it seems that I don't need it." ”
Zhu Houxi's original tricks were tried and tested, but today they failed.
Zhu Xiuli said: "My brother lied to people, and my brother also said that I would enter the palace tomorrow and find a palace person to learn etiquette." ”
"You can go play first, and then go to the palace people."
As soon as Zhu Houxi finished explaining, Zhu Xiuli left her seat and ran to his side, holding his sleeves with two small hands and said, "Brother is the best, take me out to play tomorrow, I promise to listen to my brother in the future." ”
Seeing that Zhu Xiuli was well-behaved like a docile kitten, the corners of Zhu Houxi's lips were slightly hooked, Zhu Xiuli did not escape his routine in the end, but whenever it was involved in going out to play, Zhu Xiuli would lose to Zhu Houyu every time and obediently admit her mistakes.
After a night without words, they went back to their rooms to rest, and the next day as soon as it was dawn, Zhu Xiuli dressed herself up like a ceramic doll, waiting for Zhu Houxi to fulfill her promise.
Zhu Houxi looked at the pretty little sister and said with a smile: "What are you doing here?" ”
"My brother promised to take me out to play today, but he can't break his promise."
Seeing that Zhu Xiuli's little face turned red because of nervousness, Zhu Houxi was embarrassed to tease her again, so he said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you out to play today." ”
After that, he took Zhu Xiuli out of the house.
At lunchtime, Zhu Houxi took his little sister to the leopard room, and had dinner at Zhengde's place, and by the way mentioned that he wanted to find a palace person to teach Zhu Xiuli the rules, but Zhengde was dissatisfied: "How old is the little sister now, what rules do you learn, I see that the little sister is so lively, I will make an order in a while, and I will make an order to make the little sister the princess Yongchun, and it will be good to recruit a horse captain for the little sister in the future." ”
Zhu Xiuli saw that someone was supporting her, and immediately began to talk to Zhu Houxi.
Zhu Houxi forgot that this Zhengde is also a sister control, and with Zhengde's favor, I am afraid that he will not have to worry about his own brother in the future.
Zhu Houxi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The eldest brother spoils the little sister so much, I am afraid that there will be a rude and willful little demon king in this capital in the future." ”
Zhengde smiled: "Hahaha, my brother is the demon king of the mixed world, and my sister naturally wants to be the little demon king of the mixed world." ”
Zhu Houxi was immediately a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether the demon king of the mixed world that Zhengde was talking about was him or himself.
When Zhu Houxi and Zhu Xiuli returned to Xingwang's mansion, Zhu Xiuli immediately ran to report the good news to the Jiang family, informing the Jiang family that Zhengde was going to make her a princess.
Winter went to spring, and in a blink of an eye it was the eighteenth year of Zhengde, and this year the envoy Yasan of the fire came as promised, and he came with the Portuguese envoy Pires.
Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, the two presented gifts to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of their respective countries, and met with the Ming Emperor Zhengde.
After the two envoys had finished handling all the state affairs, Yasan the Fire took Pires and quietly came to the Xingwang Mansion.
Inside the transportation hall.
The Fire Warrior Yasan said respectfully, "Dear His Royal Highness King Xing, I'm glad to see you again. ”
Pires followed and said, "Pires meets His Royal Highness King Xing. ”
Before coming, the fire man Yasan told Pires all about Zhu Houxi's identity and status, and how much Emperor Zhengde attached importance to him, and told him to deal with Zhu Houyu carefully, and don't treat him as an ordinary child, because last time he risked to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, he was severely pit by Zhu Houxi, and only brought back two jars of pickles.
Zhu Houxi looked at the two aliens and said, "This king, I am also very happy to meet the two envoys. ”
There is no way, in Zhu Houxi's eyes, the two people in front of him are money, Tianjin Wei's sea salt has been successfully refined, so he is ready to transport the refined sea salt to Manraka to sell, and by the way, check whether there is a problem with the refined sea salt.
Fire Yasan said: "Some of the ingredients that His Highness asked me to look for have already been found, and now they have been transported to the outside of the mansion, I wonder if His Highness should fulfill his promise?" ”
