After hearing this, Zhang nodded and said, "Han Jinhu is really blind, how can your father be easily convinced if he has been stubborn all his life? After your father died, how did you escape from them?"

Xu Pu told the rest of the story one by one.

Zhang took his beloved son into his arms and said, "These days, I am worried about you every day in the palace, lest you have three long and two short." Fortunately, God is merciful, and finally our mother and son are reunited. ”

At this time, the night was getting darker, and Xu Pu saw that his mother was tired, so he said, "Mother, it's not early, you should rest early." The child retired. ”

Zhang nodded and said, "Go ahead, let's talk again tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Pu exited the room, came outside, and the maid guarding the door said to him: "Son, the prince commanded, after you and your wife have finished talking, let you go to the front hall to meet." ”

Xu Pu asked, "My uncle has come back from the barracks?"

The maid said, "Yes." ”

Xu Pu listened and hurriedly hurried to the front hall.

When I walked into the front hall, I saw Xu Jinding talking to a person in the upper seat. The man was thirty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a purple robe, wearing a golden crown, a jade belt around his waist, a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, and a swallowtail and black beard.

When Xu Pu was more than two years old, he had seen King Yan, but he hadn't remembered anything at that time, so he didn't know what King Yan looked like. At this time, seeing that this person's popularity was extraordinary, he knew that it must be King Yan, so he hurriedly walked closer, knelt on the ground on both knees, and kowtowed to King Yan and said, "Nephew bows to my uncle." ”

Zhu Di stood up, clasped his hands, and said, "Your family doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." ”

Xu Pu stood up, King Yan took his hand and looked at it carefully, and said, "Pu'er, the last time I saw you, you were still a toddler, and now you have grown so tall. Come, sit down and talk. ”

Xu Pu agreed, and a maid moved over the chair and put it next to Zhu Di's seat, Xu Pu sat down on the chair, and Zhu Di said: "I heard from Mrs. just now that your father has been killed by Han Jinhu? How did it happen? You tell me in detail." ”

Xu Pu responded and told the story of his father's murder in detail.

After hearing this, Zhu Di showed anger on his face and said: "Han Jinhu relies on the faith of the emperor and the queen, arrogant and arrogant, reckless, really hateful!"

Xu Jinding wept and said: "Our Xu family has made great contributions to the Jiangshan Society, but in the end it ended up like this! Lord, you must be the master of our Xu family!"

Zhu Di nodded and said: "Madam, don't worry, then Han Jinhu has brutalized hundreds of officials and poisoned the people, whether it is for public or private purposes, he must be eliminated." It's just that His Majesty and the Empress have great trust in him, and I am far away from the Jingshi, thousands of miles away, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, so I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to bring him down. This matter should not be urgent, and Madame should relax first. ”

Xu Jinding bowed his head and said: "Everything depends on the prince." ”

Zhu Di nodded and said, "We are a family, the Xu family's business is my business, and I will do my best." After that, he looked at Xu Pu and said with a smile: "Good boy, although you live in peace in the palace, I will definitely help you appeal for the grievances of your Xu family." I will definitely give you the title of King of Zhongshan again. ”

Xu Pu said: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Zhu Di said: "Your own family, you don't have to be polite. ”

After that, Zhu Di asked Xu Pu about his visit to Beiping.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Pu got up and said goodbye. Xu Jinding recruited two maids and asked them to take Xu Pu to his residence to rest.

The room Xu Jinding arranged for him was in the Renxiao Palace, very close to Zhang's residence, and it was just a short time away.

The two maids led Xu Pu into the room, stood by the door and said to Xu Pu: "Son, rest early, if necessary, just give orders, there will be someone outside the door to serve." ”

Xu Pu said: "The two sisters worked hard. ”

After the maid saluted Xu Pu, she exited the room.

Xu Pu took off his coat and went to bed. He wandered in the rivers and lakes for more than half a year, and now he finally returned to his mother, and a heart that had no support for many days finally settled down, and his heart was indescribably relaxed, and he fell asleep soon after closing his eyes.

This sleep was extraordinarily heavy, and I had no dreams all night, waking up early in the morning.

Xu Pu got out of bed, got dressed by himself, and with the help of the maid, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, tidied up his clothes, and then went to ask his mother Zhang and his aunt Princess Yan to say goodbye.

Zhang and Xu Jinding had already gotten up and were drinking tea and talking in the room, and Zhu Yuying was also on the side.

Xu Pu saluted the two, Zhu Yuying grabbed his arm and pulled him up, and said, "Cousin, you came just in time, my aunt and my mother are talking about you." ”

Xu Jin said to Xu Pu: "Pu'er, I heard your mother say that you have to study every day at home, and you have to go to the palace every month to read to the emperor's grandson?"

Xu Pu lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Jinding said: "Reading is a good thing, and it must not be wasted." But it's not enough to just study, the men in our family are all golden branches and jade leaves, and they must be loyal to the country in the future, and they must be both civil and military. I have already discussed with your mother, from today onwards, you will study with Mr. Wang with Gao Chi and Gao Xi in the morning, and you will also practice martial arts with them in the afternoon with Teacher Shen. Would you like to?"

Xu Pu looked up at his mother, and saw his mother Zhang smiling and nodding at him, so he said, "Thank you aunt for bothering, nephew is willing." ”

Xu Jinding said: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

Zhu Yuying pulled Xu Pu's arm and said, "Great, cousin." In the future, we will be able to study and practice martial arts together. ”

Xu Pu said: "You also want to study and practice martial arts with us?"

Zhu Yuying smiled: "That's right!"

Xu Jinding shook his head with a smile and said, "She is a girl's family, and she has nothing to do all day long, so let her study and practice martial arts with you, and save me trouble." ”

While talking, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxi came in together and asked their mother and aunt to say goodbye, and Xu Jinding told them about Fang Cai's decision, and the two had a partner, and they were happy.

Since that day, Xu Pu has been with Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxihe, and Zhu Yuying, brothers and sisters, studying and practicing martial arts every day.

Reading and learning words, Xu Pu is used to doing it in the palace, and it is not a problem to return to his old business at this time. As for practicing martial arts, Xu Pu also learned three punches and two kicks from his father, but it was just a pastime, and at this time, following Shen Tongze to practice martial arts, he needed to practice from scratch, so the progress was very slow.

But he was the princess's nephew, Shen Tongze didn't dare to offend, and patiently taught him from the beginning.

After more than a month like this, Xu Pu gradually found his way, learned martial arts to make rapid progress, and it took less than half a year to keep up with the progress and hand over Shen Tongze to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxi's martial arts.
