The dormitory was quiet for a while.

Mu Xiang thought that he was asleep, and was just about to quietly move his sorely swollen waist, but suddenly heard His Highness ask:

"What kind of person is that concubine?"

"Hmm......" Mu Xiang froze for a while, and Fang whispered: "Slaves can't talk about girls." ”

"Come less." Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "If you don't chew the root of your tongue in private, the sun has to come out in the west." ”

"This ......" Mu Xiang couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Zhu Zhen in amazement. How can you be so sophisticated? It's like the original simple little highness.

"What do you want me to do?" Zhu Zhen turned his head, a pair of big eyes were as bright as the morning star, how could he be half sleepy?

Just with those two thick eyebrows and baby fat on his cheeks, it makes him look funny.

"The servant doesn't dare, the servant is rude." Mu Xiang hurriedly bowed her head and apologized, and whispered: "I just think that after falling into the water, His Highness has changed a lot." ”

"You've changed a lot." Zhu Zhen had already thought of his rhetoric, and said unhurriedly: "I just grew up overnight." ”

"This is really a bodhisattva blessing." Mu Xiang cried with joy: "If Niangniang knew, she would definitely be happy." ”

"......" Zhu Zhen stopped talking, pouting his little buttocks and burying his head in the pillow, sobbing.

"Does Your Highness miss your mother?" Mu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his back.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen raised his head, his big eyes filled with tears and said, "I miss my mother." ”

"It's all the slave's fault, the servant lost his word." Mu Xiang hurriedly apologized, took out a fragrant handkerchief and wiped his tears.

"It would be nice if she could come back." Zhu Zhen followed the good path.

"The maid also wants her mother back, who in the palace doesn't want her to come back?" Mu Xiang also cried with her.

"For a while, let's let the people of Changyang Palace be bullied. The monthly routine is not given, and the food is deducted. Other palace people have long since changed into silk, but we are still wearing summer skirts. ”

"Changyang Palace is where Concubine Ding lives, right?" Zhu Zhen asked uncertainly.

"yes."

"What's her turn?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously.

"After the queen mother was provincial, the concubine was in charge of the six palaces. But as soon as the queen left on the front foot, Sun Guifei fell ill on the back foot. Mu Xiang said indignantly:

"The emperor's original intention was to let our mother take over, but when that happened, he let Concubine Ding pick up the cheap......"

"Because of this?" Zhu Zhen's void fan is a big one.

"It turns out that His Highness knows everything." Mu Xiang covered her mouth in surprise. And then there is no scruples. said indignantly: "Niangniang is the way of the thief surnamed Da!" ”

"Concubine Ding's surname is Da?" Zhu Zhenqi said: "And this surname?" ”

"She's a Lustful Man." Mu Xiang replied contemptuously. The Ming Dynasty was contemptuous of both the Mongolian and the Semu people as 'Hulu', but Zhu Zhen's mother's surname was Hu, and the people in the palace naturally avoided it.

"These Tartars are ambitious, although they don't dare to compete with the queen, they have always been eyeing the position of the concubine. Now that Sun Guifei can't see it, she deliberately provoked Niangniang and staged a bitter trick in front of the emperor to kill Niangniang, an opponent! ”

"You know a lot." Zhu Zhen smiled.

Mu Xiang's heart tightened, and she lowered her head softly, and said weakly: "I just don't dare to hide it from Your Highness." ”

"Then tell me everything you know!" Zhu Zhen sat up and asked to the end.

Mu Xiang poured beans into the bamboo tube, and really said a lot of useful things.

For example, Concubine Nada Ding was originally Chen Youliang's concubine. After Boss Zhu defeated Chen Youliang, he took it for his own use.

Zhu Yuanzhang claims to never rob women of women. made an exception this time, and it was clearly said that it was because he was angry that Chen Youliang had killed too many of his generals, so he took his concubine and returned to vent his anger.

But the palace people privately said that it was because the Nada clan was too charming and too good at confusing the lord. Otherwise, Boss Zhu, who has always been serious about military discipline and leads by example, can't help but follow Boss Cao's example.

Although no one can threaten Queen Ma's status, a man's spirit and flesh can be clearly distinguished.

In short, Da Shi is still very favored, and gave birth to the seventh son, the eighth son, and a princess one after another, and his status is naturally rising, and he is gradually arrogant.

"If there is a mother, there must be a son, and her son King Qi is not a good thing!" Mu Xiang said angrily: "At a young age, he bullied the palace people all day long, and the cats and dogs in the palace couldn't escape his poisonous hands." ”

"The swallow is making a nest in Changyang Palace, he is noisy, so he asks people to destroy the bird's nest, and then burns the chicks to death with his own hands!" Mu Xiang also gave an example: "The scar behind His Highness's ear was also beaten by him when he was a child!" ”

Zhu Zhen touched the back of his ears, and sure enough, he found a half-inch-long scar on the left.

"Don't look at him half a year younger than His Royal Highness, he can be ruthless. On the May Day, he also kicked a palace maid and broke his ribs. Mu Xiangyu said angrily there: "It's a pity that Concubine Dading is insidious and vicious, and no one dares to report to the emperor for fear ......of her revenge."

Zhu Zhen listened and fell asleep thoughtfully.

~~

The next day, Zhu Zhen slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

Mu Xiang has already been on duty, and the palace maid who served him has been replaced by another smaller palace maid, and I don't know what it is called.

Dressed neatly and simply had breakfast, Zhu Zhen said that he wanted to go out.

Wang Defa hurriedly ordered someone to prepare for the car.

There was a small fire person who presented the ebony waist card that blocked the entry and exit, Wang Defa took it and hung it on his waist, and then held His Highness's hand and bowed out of the palace gate.

Ten small firefighters were already waiting outside the door.

Two firefighters led the way with red gauze lanterns, one lantern with 'Wan'an Palace' written on it, and the other with 'King of Chu' written on it.

The other eight small firefighters followed behind with water jugs, spittles, chairs, suitcases, golden umbrellas, incense burners, and so on.

Zhu Zhen glanced at Wang Defa and said, "What's missing, right?" ”

"It's a little less, but the rules are like this, and you can only use a full guard of honor when you leave the palace. In the palace, you must start from Jian You. Wang Defa explained gently.

"Wang Defa, why do you have to have a sedan chair? Could it be that the lonely prince can't go out on foot? Zhu Zhen looked at Wang Defa, isn't this old eunuch playing me?

"Hey, how many things have you forgotten about your highness?" Wang Defa said with a caring expression of caring for mentally handicapped children: "This is because the emperor has specially decreed that all princes except the prince will walk in the palace in order to prevent His Royal Highness from being indulged in leisure and hard work!" ”

"And this rule?"

"No, even if you leave the palace and leave Beijing, you can't blindly take a sedan chair, and you have to stop and walk three out of ten." Wang Defa said even worse.

"......" Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but have an ominous premonition.

There is such a 'loving father', and the happy lying life of the prince in his dream may not come true.

~~

But there is one thing, Zhu Zhen is very clear. In this Forbidden City, the words of that father are the golden rule, and there is absolutely no room for bargaining.

He could only honestly open his legs, and under the guidance of the two eunuchs, he walked out of Wan'anmen and turned onto Xiyi Long Street.

Xiyi Long Street is a street sandwiched between the West Sixth Palace and the Qianqing Palace. Within the high red wall to the east is Boss Zhu's bedroom.

Zhu Zhen was a little entangled, I don't know if I want to go in and pay a respect? What does my father look like?

To be honest, Zhu Zhen has always been stunned about the matter of 'meeting his father'.

In front of others, it's not a big problem to make some mistakes by yourself, and you can always rely on your status to get by.

But in front of His Majesty Hongwu, who started with a bowl and killed people without blinking, I am afraid that it is difficult for him not to show his original form. If Boss Zhu thinks of himself as a monster, or a ghost possessed or something, it is cheap to click a knife, and it is not impossible to peel the skin and pull the grass.

Wang De observed his words and looks, and when he saw that his face was pale, he guessed a few points. "Your Royal Highness, at this time, the emperor should be in the Wuying Palace, not in the Qianqing Palace."

"Oh, let's do that another day." Zhu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then there must be a quasi-date, and the old slave will play for His Highness in advance." Wang Defa reminded him: "The emperor has all the opportunities every day, and he never has leisure. Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be seen at any time without a pass. Of course, the queen can also ......"

In other words, His Highness's level is still not enough.

"Well, you can see it." Zhu Zhen was slightly injured. It turns out that the father is not just able to see him if he wants to, he is really self-inflicted.

"Yes." Wang De responded, and asked again: "Then where are we going now?" ”

"The main hall." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.
