my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 1 My brother-in-law is the prince

The second year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty.

As dusk draws near, the Forbidden City located at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing is already brightly lit.

The continuous glazed roof ridge is like a long dragon, extending to the East Palace in a corner of the Forbidden City.

The courtyard of the East Palace was undulating, but at this moment, someone was about to stomp their feet anxiously, shouting: "Stop, stop..."

The speaker was panting and his face was pale. He was wearing a uniform with nine chapters embroidered on it, but because the sleeves of the uniform were too long, he looked even more clumsy and embarrassed when he ran.

At this time, the person running ahead poked his head out from the moon cave, but he was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

The boy said with a look of lingering fear: "If brother-in-law doesn't hit me, I won't run away."

Then, the man who was chasing after him out of breath suddenly became furious, and gnashed his teeth and said: "It's my father's fault if I don't teach you, if you don't teach you a lesson today, why don't you go to the house tomorrow?"

The boy immediately said loudly: "But you are not my father."

The man in the uniform couldn't care less about being gentle, and said loudly with his eyes wide open: "A brother is like a father."

"It's not my brother..."

So the person in the uniform shouted again: "I am your brother-in-law!"

The boy obviously wanted to defend himself.

But at this time, along the wall of the moon cave, a few eunuchs sneaked up behind the boy, taking advantage of the boy's conversation in the air, and one of them dragged the boy like a vicious dog. He stopped, and said pleasantly in his mouth: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, people have taken it, taken it."

As soon as he yelled, the young man wanted to struggle, but the other eunuchs rushed forward, pulling his arms one by one, hugging his legs the other, like a magnet, pulling the young man so that he couldn't move.

The man who was called the crown prince took a long sigh of relief and said, "Don't hurt him!"

Only then did the prince remember his appearance, and with his hands behind his back, he calmed down and walked forward slowly.

The boy shouted unconvinced: "You sneak attack, you bastards, I will deal with you later."

It seemed that he still couldn't let go of his hatred, and while continuing to struggle, he said: "Sister, sister, help me!"

Wait until the prince walked up to him in displeasure.

The young man was already exhausted by several eunuchs. The prince was tall and a bit fat, blocking the young man like a wall.

At this moment, the young man slammed his head down, and said bluntly: "Brother-in-law, I was wrong!"

The prince was still aggressive at first, but suddenly his face became slightly milder, and his tone was obviously much calmer: "What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't hit people."

"Do you dare next time?"

The young man confessed, "Next time...don't dare again."

The crown prince waved his hand, and the eunuchs retreated, and then said again: "Go to the study and talk."

The prince in front of him is Zhu Gaochi, His Royal Highness the current prince.

And this young man is Zhang Anshi, the same mother and younger brother of the Crown Princess Zhang.

Zhang Anshi's father died in the battle of Emperor Yongle's Jingnan, so he was neglected to discipline him, and because his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi was a kind person, so in Nanjing City, Zhang Anshi was already known as a playboy at a young age. .

Today Zhang Anshi beat someone again, and was sued by the officials of the Eastern Palace in front of the prince Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi was furious, and originally planned to deal with this little brother-in-law.

But in the end he softened his heart again. Although he was angry when he saw this kid, most of his anger dissipated after he sat down in the study, but he sighed first: "You are so fond of messing around at such a young age, is it true?" My fault. Sit down for me."

"Oh." Zhang Anshi is not afraid of Zhu Gaochi, but now that his brother-in-law is furious, he still kneels obediently to one side, putting on an obedient appearance.

It has been half a year since he came to this world. At first, Zhang Anshi was shocked, terrified, and uneasy, but slowly...he began to integrate into this era. Of course, the most important thing is...in this world, he has the prince, brother-in-law and The love of the princess and sister.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi glanced at him, saw that he was suddenly calm and honest, and hissed: "Why did you hit someone?"

"That man sells fake medicine, I poked him." Zhang Anshi imitated the tone of the drug dealer and said in a loud voice: "Then he said to me: young people should not talk nonsense, if not, You will suffer."

Zhang Anshi shrugged, showing a helpless look, and continued: "I saw that he said so, so I had to beat him."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Zhu Gaochi twitched his face, and finally said with a straight face: "A gentleman is kind, and a villain is vindictive. No matter how unfair things are in the world, don't..."

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "I know I was wrong."

"I haven't finished talking yet, so don't interrupt."

"Ah...the brother-in-law said slowly."

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth: "You are a relative of the emperor, so you can't fight with others. If not, where is the dignity? Your sister spoils you, but I am the prince, how can I pamper you?"

As he said that, Zhu Gaochi lowered his voice: "Besides, there are so many eyes and ears in the palace, and you don't live up to it. Do you know... Father...has heard about you a few days ago..."

Zhang Anshi thought to himself, isn't the current emperor Zhu Di also a ruthless person?My nephew, Zhu Yunwen, can still cut it, so I take him as an example.

But... Is my reputation so bad that I actually listened to it in Datian?
This can't help but make Zhang Anshi worried.

You know, the current emperor has three sons. Although his brother-in-law is the prince, the emperor prefers Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

But can this be his fault?Since he crossed over to this world, most of the time he was still honest and responsible, so he beat up a peddler who sold fake medicine yesterday.

And his notoriety is notorious, on the one hand, the original owner of the body is not a good bird, on the other hand, he is afraid that someone deliberately slandered him in front of the emperor.

Seeing his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi's worried look, Zhang Anshi's heart skipped a beat, no, I can't go on like this, I want to start a new life, change my mind, and try to make a good impression on others.

Only then did Zhu Gaochi say: "Okay, let's not make an example."

"Oh." Zhang Anshi nodded honestly.

"Are you hungry?"

Zhang Anshi shook his head.

Zhu Gaochi was sitting on his knees, seeing Zhang Anshi's aggrieved look... He pondered for a moment on his simple and honest face, and then suddenly said to himself: "Those companions didn't hurt you, did they?"

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Fortunately, it's just that my arm hurts."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Punish them later, and let you out."

Standing aside, the eunuch trembled slightly, raised his head slightly in astonishment, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

Zhu Gaochi asked Zhang Anshi to sit beside him on his knees again, then stroked Zhang Anshi's back with his hands, and sighed: "You are too confused, although I am the prince, but the emperor is not satisfied with me, because of this, I am in the East Palace, But you have to be more cautious in your words and deeds. An Shi, don't mess around anymore in the future. Fortunately, your elder sister doesn't know about this, otherwise..."

Zhang Anshi has been a human being for two lifetimes, so he immediately understood Zhu Gaochi's thoughts.

He is now a relative of the emperor, but he is notorious. Emperor Yongle is dissatisfied with the crown prince. If someone uses his brother-in-law's evil deeds to add fuel to Emperor Yongle, it will be very detrimental to the crown prince.

Zhang Anshi was able to slowly adapt to this world, thanks to the care and love of the prince's brother-in-law.Zhu Gaochi may not be an honest person, but he has nothing to say to his brother-in-law.

So Zhang Anshi immediately said eloquently: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I have made a decision. From tomorrow on, I will be a new man, and I will never let people say that I am full of evil."

Zhu Gaochi smiled, and only caressed Zhang Anshi's back affectionately: "It's good if you have this heart."

Obviously, he didn't believe Zhang Anshi's oath.

For this, Zhang Anshi was indignant, didn't he have any credit at all?
After being caught by Zhu Gaochi and taught the principles of how to behave, Zhang Anshi was released from the East Palace.

As soon as he left the East Palace, Zhang Anshi immediately looked like a bird out of the cage.

But outside the East Palace, there were already people who were looking forward to it. Dressed in a green coat and a hat, when he saw Zhang Anshi coming out, he immediately greeted Zhang Anshi, bowed and said, "My lord, you didn't get punished, did you?"

"Punishment, what punishment? My brother-in-law loves me before it's too late." Zhang Anshi looked at his servant Zhang San with a smug face. Having such a brother-in-law in this life is not in vain.

My brother-in-law will be the emperor in the future!
