Chapter 30: Closing the Door

"Hahaha, the last general will meet the prince, Your Highness!"

A burly general in armor, bronze skin, and a bearded beard appeared on the side of the ship and personally held the gangway. "Your Highness, please come aboard."

"There's Laude Qinghou." Zhu Biao politely arched his hand, and took his younger brothers on the boat to meet his mother.

Zhu Zhen followed behind the fifth brother, and looked at Na Deqinghou when he heard the sound, he was really majestic, and he was a fierce general at first glance.

'He is Liao Yongzhong...... His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't help but sigh secretly, his father really has no taboos. He also dared to let the shipwreck maker pick up his mother.

"Your Highness, watch your step." Feeling his gaze, Liao Yongzhong moved forward slightly.

"Why is your beard red? Is it dyed? Zhu Zhen asked curiously.

"Hehe, the last general has been on the water all year round, and his beard is also stained with rust." Liao Yongzhong touched his red beard proudly.

"Hey, it's a pity, it......'s a pity," Zhu Zhen shook his head and sighed, and followed his brothers over.

"What a pity?" Liao Yongzhong was stunned there, is it a pity for this beautiful beard?

~~

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood on the deck, two young men wearing dragon robes greeted him excitedly.

"Big brother!" A handsome man with white teeth and red lips rushed forward to salute and greet His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Hahaha, third brother, don't come unharmed." Zhu Biao also strode up to meet him, hugged the other party, and came to an affectionate bear hug.

It turns out that he is Zhu Yu, the king of Jin, and the third brother is so handsome, even more handsome than the eldest brother. Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh secretly. Like him and the fourth brother, who are not good at appearance, they can't be compared.

But when he saw his other brother, he was confident in his appearance again.

"Big, big brother......" The other is naturally the second brother Qin Wang Zhu Zhang, he is not slow, but he speaks slowly and stutters.

"Bye, meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Haha, second brother, you've lost weight." Zhu Biao also gave Zhu Fan a big hug.

'Director Fox ......' Zhu Zhen looked at the second brother, who was more than half a head taller than the fourth brother, but his head was very square, with a pair of big cheeks and a shallow beard, and a pair of slitted eyes that were not very smart at first glance.

It is the reincarnation of a Tibetan fox......

After they finished the ceremony, the younger brothers also stepped forward to meet the second and third brothers.

"Hahaha, fourth, you, you guy, you want to die, brother." Zhu Fan hugged the fourth child and didn't let go.

"I'm the same." Zhu Di also hugged his second brother and didn't let go, and the two of them were about to kiss.

"Five hundred, don't patronize and make love, come in and meet the queen mother." Zhu Xiao rolled his eyes and reminded the two.

"Well, good." King Qin and King Yan let go at this time, and hurriedly followed the eldest brother into the cabin.

~~

In the spacious cabin, the decoration is very simple.

Queen Ma, surrounded by a group of female officials, sat on the throne and accepted a group of concubines, as well as princes and princesses.

She was forty-four years old, and she was born with a kind, unpretentious face, and a pair of big feet. If it weren't for wearing an apricot yellow shirt and a phoenix crown on her head, I am afraid it would be difficult to associate her with the queen of a country.

But look at everyone in front of her, that heartfelt respect. Even Concubine Da Ding's bewitching slut is respectful and respectful, and you will understand that she is the mother of a country as a matter of course.

"Get up." Queen Ma raised her hand gently. "It's all a family, so polite."

After giving the seat to the Sixth Palace, she looked at the vacant chair on her left hand side, revealing a sad look.

"On the twenty-seventh of last month, I received an urgent report that Sister Sun was critically ill, so I hurried back with the second and third children, but I still didn't see her for the last time."

The concubines and the princess and the princess and the princess wept with the queen.

Queen Ma beckoned to the two girls who were crying the most: "Jing Jing, Fu Ning, come to the queen mother's side." ”

"Queen Mother......" The two princesses threw themselves into her arms like swallows and cried loudly.

Everyone cried even more, and even Zhu Zhen was infected by the atmosphere, and his nose was sour for a while.

He already recognized these two sisters, the eldest was his eldest sister Zhu Jingjing, thirteen or fourteen years old. The youngest is his sixth sister Zhu Funing, who is only five or six years old.

Both of them were born by Sun Guifei. Because Lao Zhu stipulates that the princess will be crowned a princess before she gets married, there is no title for the time being.

"Well, don't cry, isn't there still a queen mother?" Queen Ma wiped her tears from her two daughters with red eyes and said, "In the future, you will move to Kunning Palace to live, and follow your mother in the future, so as not to let you suffer the slightest grievance." ”

"Well, thank you, Queen Mother......" The two sisters cried even more, but their mood was noticeably more relaxed.

"Okay, let's stop talking here, if you have something to say, go home and talk slowly." Queen Ma pulled her two daughters up and beckoned everyone to get off the boat and return to the palace.

~~

On the way back, the scene was even more enthusiastic.

From the wharf to the west gate of Shuiximen, ten miles away, the roadside is crowded with people helping the old and the young.

Seeing the queen's phoenix drive, they looked at the dust and worshipped, shouting that the queen is a thousand years old, and the mother's holy life is boundless.

After entering the city, the road narrowed, and the scene was even more exaggerated, and the crowd of people who came to see Queen Ma driving was shoulder to shoulder, you pushed me, and many people shouted dumb throats.

The officers and soldiers of Ying Tianfu and the pro-army Governor's Mansion can't care about making a score now. Hurriedly hold hands and line up two pedestrian walls, so as not to let the tide of crowds collide with Niangniang's holy car.

Zhu Zhen clearly remembered that when they went out of the city, although there were many onlookers, most of them watched the excitement. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't cause much repercussions.

And now, not to mention the number of people several times more, they are more than ten times more fanatical.

Obviously, these people are coming for Queen Ma.

He had no doubt that as long as the kind aunt ascended to the heights, they would follow her to the soup and fire, and they would not give up.

"In the second year of fighting the dragon and phoenix, your father captured Jiqing Road and changed his name to Yingtian, and it has been a full eighteen years." Concubine Hu Chong saw his doubts and explained softly:

"For eighteen years, your mother has cared for the people of Jinling City as if they were her own children, leading them to resume production; Establish a charity hall to take care of the elderly, the weak, orphans and the disabled; Always protect them as much as possible, not to be harassed by officers and soldiers, and not to be bullied by local tyrants and inferior gentry. ”

"It was your mother who allowed them to live and work in peace and contentment in troubled times, and even their days became more and more prosperous. It was your queen mother who advocated a thirty tax on the shop, and strongly advocated the abolition of the Yuan Dynasty's many taxes to encourage the development of industry and commerce, this Nanjing city has today's prosperity, and it is inseparable from your mother's care......" Concubine Hu Chong sighed convincingly: "The queen mother is really amazing." ”

Zhu Zhen nodded and understood. 'Love the people like sons' is easy to say, but how many people in high positions are willing to do it?

'For the benefit of the people' is easy to say, but how many of those big people can do it?

Queen Ma was willing, and she did it. Naturally, the people will love her as a mother.

~~

As a result, it was not until dusk that the driver returned to the Forbidden City.

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately pushed aside his busy official duties and personally held a grand banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Queen Ma.

Queen Ma also thanked the emperor calmly, everything was in accordance with the law, and there was no abnormality.

But all the concubines and children were very interested, and when they filled their stomachs, they retired together, and asked the queen who was tired of traveling to rest early.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to keep them for a while, but he refused to ......

'Obviously, I usually rely on the ...... and don't leave' Seeing that in a blink of an eye, the family was all gone, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious in his heart, and he also wanted to slip away.

"We can't sleep so early. It's better to go back to the Qianqing Palace to play the chapter for a while, and then come back and sleep soundly. ”

He has planned it, and he won't come back when he arrives at the Qianqing Palace. After two hours, someone will say, 'Your Majesty is not done yet, please rest for the queen mother first.' That's it.

He had a good calculation, but as soon as he raised his buttocks, Queen Ma said lightly: "Close the door!" ”

The female official guarding the gate of the temple immediately snickered and closed the door tightly.
