Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?
Chapter 73 A belated reward
on the street.
In the carriage.
"Commander Xiao, don't mind. He usually treats me like this. He didn't mean to offend me."
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Deng Chuan, who was standing upright in front of the carriage, and explained with a smile.
"How dare you lower your rank?"
"I know that because His Highness was assassinated in the palace last time, they were specially ordered to personally protect His Highness. It is good to be vigilant in everything."
"This is a low-ranking officer who has been rude. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Xiao Huan hurriedly shook his head and said respectfully.
Looking at such a sensible father-in-law in front of him, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smile.
"I wonder why Commander Xiao suddenly led his troops to stop my palace's carriage?"
Zhu Yunxi asked directly without any chatter.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. This move was indeed a bit reckless. However, I did not mean to be disrespectful. I just wanted to apologize to Your Highness for the previous misunderstanding."
"I didn't know His Highness before, so I offended His Highness. I have always felt guilty. Recently, I was ordered to track down the remnants of the rebels in the city, and I don't dare to take it lightly!"
"I wonder where Your Highness is going? Your Majesty can lead the Jinwu Guards to escort you all the way!"
Xiao Huan bowed and said with a pious expression.
"Last time? But it was clearly my fault that I kidnapped your daughter last time. Why does Commander Xiao feel guilty instead?"
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
"The official has already said that it was all a misunderstanding. It was the official and my daughter who mistook His Highness. I hope Your Highness has a lot of people and doesn't mind it."
Xiao Huan said with remorse on his face.
Hearing Xiao Huan's answer, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt dumbfounded. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone more shameless than himself.
It was obvious that he was acting like a hooligan, but now it is the victim who is apologizing.
It seems like this is to show loyalty!
"I have forgotten what happened last time. It is in the past and there is no need to mention it again."
"As for the escort, there's no need for it. With the royal guards here, Commander Lao Xiao doesn't have to worry about it anymore. It's your duty to arrest the rebels."
Zhu Yunxi smiled, waved his hand, and said slowly.
"Yes."
"Since His Highness said so, I will not disturb His Highness."
"But no matter when and where, as long as His Highness is in need, everyone in the Xiao family will do our best to assist His Highness, even to the death!"
Xiao Huan bowed his hands and said firmly.
"Okay, I'll take note of it."
"Can your men get out of the way now?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded and asked with a smile.
"Of course!"
"Step aside!"
Xiao Huan hurriedly agreed, and then waved at the Jinwu guards not far away.
As Jin Wuwei moved out of the way and the carriage continued to move forward, Zhu Yunxi also slowly lowered the curtains and ignored Xiao Huan who was so attentive.
Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and watched the carriage slowly pass by in front of him.
"In the future, don't talk about your relationship with me when you meet anyone. What will happen in the future is still unknown."
But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi's voice came from the carriage again.
Xiao Huan frowned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and saluted again, with a solemn expression on his face, wondering if he had said something wrong just now.
inside the carriage.
"It seems that he is not stupid. He has already realized that His Highness's favor is no accident."
Hong Yuan slowly spoke.
"At that time, when Grandpa Huang claimed that Xiao Huan initiated the engagement, I felt that something was a little strange. Now he has stopped my carriage in public without any hesitation. It seems that he is really urgent."
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully.
"Your Highness doubts his intentions?"
Hong Yuan also frowned and asked softly.
"I don't know, just don't be from King Yan!"
"Send someone to secretly check his resume to see if he has any connection with Zhu Di or other factions."
Zhu Yunxi paused and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Hong Yuan bowed her hands and replied respectfully.
Zhu Yunxi said nothing more, and a faint smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
If Xiao Huan just wants to use his big tree to enjoy the shade and is not someone else's chess piece, maybe he can really use it as his own. As the commander of the personal guards, he will be responsible for the defense of the entire Kyoto. If he can conquer it, that would be great.
Thinking of this, the smile at the corner of Zhu Yunxi's mouth became more and more obvious.
Two days later, Hongyuan immediately reported the findings to Zhu Yunxi, proving that Xiao Huan had not been affiliated with any faction before.
Zhu Yunxi was very satisfied with this result.
...
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The eunuch, the leader of Shangshan Supervisor, and a group of followers lined up in two rows and slowly walked into the Liang Palace.
As a rule, during every festive occasion, Zhu Yuanzhang would order the food supervisor to prepare some special ingredients and send them to the palaces and the houses of princes and ministers.
In the past, the Liang Palace was always deliberately ignored. Zhu Yuanzhang did not mention it, and Shangshan Superintendent naturally did not dare to mention it. However, things are different from the past. This gift now also belongs to the Liang Palace.
"Father, what is this?"
The person in charge of greeting was Zi Ning. After bowing to the chief eunuch, Zi Ning stared blankly at the special ingredients that he had never seen before in the hands of the entourage, and asked with a puzzled look on his face. road.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and your Majesty has given me a special reward. I wonder if His Highness the Third Emperor's grandson is in the palace?"
The leader eunuch asked with a smile on his face.
"Please, father-in-law, please wait for a moment. I will go and report it right away."
Zi Ning bowed her hands and hurriedly left the front hall and walked quickly to the back garden.
After a long time, Zi Ning returned in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness is in the study room in the back garden. Please ask your father-in-law to move to the back garden."
Zi Ning said softly while saluting.
"Please lead the way."
The leader eunuch nodded, and then motioned for the followers to follow him holding things.
Zi Ning did not dare to neglect, and began to lead the way nervously.
She never thought that the chief eunuch would one day be so polite to a little maid like herself.
Soon, under the leadership of Zi Ning, the leader eunuch and a group of followers came to the door of the study in the back garden, and then were called into the study by Zhu Yunxi.
"The eunuch, the leader of the servant Shangshanjian, meets His Highness the Third Emperor Sun."
The chief eunuch walked in slowly with his head lowered, looked at Zhu Yunxi who had his back turned to him, and bowed respectfully.
But after he finished speaking, he didn't get a response. He couldn't help but feel a little confused, so he looked up at Zhu Yunxi in confusion.
Then he discovered that although Zhu Yunxi had his back to him, he was not standing or sitting, but was kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the chief eunuch couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but after he took a closer look, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly knelt down on the ground with a plop and performed a prostration.
In front of Zhu Yunxi, there is a secret door hidden in the study. Inside the secret door, there is a table. Placed side by side on the table are the tablets of Prince Zhu Biao and former Crown Princess Chang.
After sitting on his knees for a long time, Zhu Yunxi slowly stood up, finished burning incense, put a string of Buddhist beads in his hand on the table, pressed the button, and slowly closed the secret door.
"Father-in-law, please go home without any ceremony."
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxi turned to look at the chief eunuch and said lightly, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.
"Yes."
"The Third Emperor's grandson is so filial that the old slave admires him."
The leader eunuch agreed. As he spoke, he stood up slowly, his eyes full of admiration.
"I failed to fulfill my filial piety to my father and mother during their lifetime. Now I can only chant sutras and pray here every day. May their spirits in heaven rest in peace."
Zhu Yunxi sighed and said seriously.
The chief eunuch looked at the pious Zhu Yunxi and recalled what Zhu Yunxi had experienced over the years, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that my father-in-law is here on orders?"
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and changed the topic.
"Exactly."
"Every festive season, His Majesty will specially order the Chief Food Supervisor to send rewards to various palaces and mansions. His Highness's status among the royal family members is no longer what it used to be, so His Majesty specially orders to prepare a copy for the Wandering Palace, and The doubling of the number shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to you, Your Highness."
"If this old slave has been negligent in any way before, I hope His Highness can forgive me."
The leader eunuch bowed his hands and said respectfully.
"My father-in-law said something serious. I naturally understand the difficulties involved."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nonchalantly.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The chief eunuch bowed again, his face full of gratitude.
"Zi Ning."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and shouted towards the door.
Hearing this, Zi Ning walked in slowly, took out a bag of silver and handed it to the leader eunuch.
"Your Highness, this..."
The chief eunuch was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.
"My father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way. The festival is coming, please accept it."
Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"By the way, His Majesty ordered His Highness to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in two days' time."
The chief eunuch looked grateful, saluted again, and said respectfully.
"it is good."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded, and responded slowly, a look of being under control flashed across his eyes.
Immediately, the leader eunuch said goodbye to Zhu Yunxi and left slowly with his subordinates.
As the chief eunuch, he traveled among the palaces all year round. Although he occasionally received rewards, this was the first time that he was as generous as Zhu Yunxi.
Therefore, after leaving the Wandering Palace, the chief eunuch immediately reported Zhu Yunxi's enshrinement of the prince and princess's tablets in the study to the eunuch chief Wang Defa...
