my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 34
Zhu Gaochi came in, and together with Mrs. Zhang, saluted Zhu Di first.Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi, his eyes fell on Zhang Shi again, and he seemed to be muttering in his heart, that Zhang Anshi is like a horse monkey, why is it completely different from the dignity of his daughter-in-law, was it born by a father?
Zhu Di only nodded coldly.

So Zhu Gaochi and Mrs. Zhang saluted Empress Xu again.

For Empress Xu, whether it is Zhu Gaochi or Zhu Gaoxu, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so she naturally said happily, "Come, sit down and talk."

The Queen of the Han Dynasty, Wei Shi, immediately looked at Princess Huaiqing, and Wei Shi said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you came just in time, take a look at this Jade Buddha, it was collected by Princess Huaiqing herself, it is just right Baby, I'm afraid there won't be another carver in the world."

As she said that, she held up a Jade Buddha. This Jade Buddha was crystal clear, obviously made of the best jade material. The carvers she praised, in fact, anyone with sharp eyesight could see that this was definitely not a vulgar object.

Mrs. Zhang also smiled and stepped forward, looked at him carefully, and said, "Ah, it's really unusual."

Princess Huaiqing said: "Sister-in-law worshiping the Buddha, there must be a lifelike Bodhisattva in the bright hall of the palace. Speaking of which, this thing...but it is not easy to find, thanks to the concubine running around, it was finally found. "

What she meant was quite a bit of asking for credit for the son-in-law Wang Ning.

Empress Xu raised her eyes, glanced at Zhu Di who was still stern and silent, and nodded with a half-smile.

Webster then said aside: "Wang Ning really put his heart into it. Back then, when our father was in Beijing, he was in Nanjing and risked his life to convey the military situation of Nanjing to the father, so as to facilitate the war." It shows his loyalty."

After all, Wei Shi rolled his eyes, looked at Zhang Shi and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think so?"

What else can Mrs. Zhang say, she smiled sweetly, nodded her head and said: "Yes, it's just that when Emperor Taizu Gao was here, there were so many loyal people who made outstanding achievements, but when they entered the capital, they became arrogant and domineering, violating the people, Fighting for power and profit, planting and framing, didn't they end up in a good end?"

Hearing this, Princess Huaiqing and Webster's face froze slightly.

Mrs. Zhang said again: "It can be seen from this that if a person wants to start well and end well, he must always be cautious. As children, the most taboo thing is to get carried away for a while. The country that the father brought down is not easy. It can't be done just because of it." Our sons and daughters are disrespectful, which makes people criticize."

On the surface, she was reminding herself, but in fact she meant something.

As soon as these words came out, the hall was extremely quiet.

Zhu Gaoxu frowned, showing displeasure.

The smile on Princess Huaiqing's face was stiff, she quickly lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows to hide the unkindness in her eyes.

The son-in-law Wang Ning is indeed known as domineering in the capital, and his relationship with Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu is also very good.

Wei Shi's mouth was still slightly hooked into a smile, but his mood was different, but it was another look.

Zhu Di said at this time: "That's right, it's nothing to be successful in Jingnan, and nothing to do with great achievements. To be a man requires a good start and a good end. You must know how to advance and retreat. The Crown Princess is a sensible one."

Empress Xu was not as reckless as Zhu Di, she seemed to have noticed something, smiled slightly and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, you are also talking about our daughter's family here, Your Majesty is the master of the world, this woman's business , Your Majesty, don’t say too much. You are all your own children and sisters, don’t always talk about big things, behind closed doors, we are a family, just like ordinary people, how can there be so many things to talk about.”

Zhu Di blew out his beard, stared at him, but shook his head in frustration, and remained silent.

Only then did Webster's face soften a little: "My queen, His Royal Highness the King of Han also prepared a big gift for you, wishing my mother Wujiang."

Empress Xu said, "Take a look."

Immediately, Webster winked at the eunuchs in the palace, one eunuch understood and hurried away, and after a while, he saw a group of eunuchs carrying a huge red silk-covered object.

After the thing was placed on the ground, Webster stepped forward and lifted the red silk, and immediately, the entire hall was brightened with folds.

This is a two-foot-high coral tree with luxuriant branches and a trunk extending everywhere. Once it reveals its shape, all the people in the bedroom will be taken away by it.

Empress Xu was also pleasantly surprised, looking at the coral, she couldn't help saying: "This kind of coral can only be seen in books."

Seeing Empress Xu's interest, Wei Shi immediately said: "Yes, Empress Mother, this is something that even money can't buy."

This coral is red all over, and red coral is a symbol of power, wealth and auspiciousness in the eyes of the ancients. A single coral bead may be valuable, but such natural red coral, and there are Two feet high, it can be described as a priceless treasure,
Even Zhu Di couldn't help but put his hands behind his back, looked around, and couldn't help saying: "The King of Han is paying attention."

Empress Xu smiled and said: "It's hard work, it took a lot of effort. Although our royal family is rich all over the world, such a treasure that shouldn't be in the world is really rare."

The Hanwang couple felt like honey at once, and this Hanwangfei, Webster, hit the iron while it was hot: "In fact, there has never been such a rare treasure before, and the reason why it reappeared is not because the father obeyed the destiny, so he gave birth to auspiciousness? So it is appropriate to dedicate it to the Queen Mother today, because the Queen Mother is very blessed."

Zhu Di's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.

The smile on Empress Xu's face grew stronger, and she said, "Good, good, hearty, hearty."

Only then did Webster raise his eyes, and looked at Zhang with a smile: "I don't know what gift the emperor and sister-in-law brought. The mother and mother are happy today. As children, we must make her happy. The gifts from the emperor and sister-in-law , must be ingenious."

Standing aside like a wooden stake, Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a while.

Crown Princess Zhang also looked embarrassed.

"Ahem..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Mrs. Zhang calmed down, looked very gracious, and said with a sweet smile: "The gift, it's already prepared, and it was sent to the Meridian Gate first, come and get it."

The princess of the Han Dynasty couldn't figure out Zhang's mind, but seeing that she didn't show her beauty, she didn't know if she was suspicious.

The eunuch Deng Jian who came along has been waiting outside, and left in a hurry as soon as he heard the order.

After a while, there were also seven or eight eunuchs carrying a huge thing.

This thing was also covered with red silk, when everyone looked at it, Mrs. Zhang sweated in her heart, saying that it was a lie to say that she was uneasy, and she didn't know what tricks her brother had made.

It's just that now, I have to rush the ducks to the shelves.

However, Queen Han's Concubine Webster's face was full of ridicule. She knew very well that the prince and his wife are usually very tight, and no matter how they raise money, it is impossible for them to be as rich as their gifts. Now that her jewels and jade are in front of them, their Li... I'm afraid it will be ridiculous.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang lifted the red silk.

Immediately afterwards... a huge wooden object was placed in front of everyone.

It turned out to be... a pile of wood.

"Pfft..." Princess Wei of Han didn't hold back, she laughed lightly, and said, "Ah, is this a generous gift from the emperor's brother and wife? It's very rare."

Princess Huaiqing still remembered that the crown prince was running on her son-in-law, so she also chimed in: "Yes, this is quite rare."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Zhang: "..."

Zhu Gaochi is actually okay, he is actually not good at fighting for favor, and it is embarrassing to be ashamed.

But Mrs. Zhang was a little bit off guard.

Is this something that my brother worked hard on?

Her pretty face blushed slightly, but this blush was fleeting. Even in such an embarrassing situation, she still maintained the grace that a princess should have.

"Huh?" But at this moment, no one noticed that Empress Xu's eyes lit up.

She stood up slowly and walked slowly towards this pile of 'logs'.

Empress Xu's face was a little dignified. After looking up and down, her eyes were both suspicious and a little puzzled, but... obviously she had a great interest in this thing.

And Zhu Di, who was on the side, couldn't help becoming interested, and walked around this pile of 'wood'.

After stopping, Zhu Di and Empress Xu looked at each other.

Then Empress Xu said to Deng Jian: "This is..."

Deng Jian said: "Ma'am, this is a loom."

"Ah." Empress Xu exclaimed, and then said: "I really look like a loom, but I have never seen such a style."
