Minghe Hall.

"My grandson said that this move was only to find out the mastermind behind this. As for the position of grandson, I never dared to hope for it."

"What those courtiers just said were right, my grandson is not worthy."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who looked serious, smiled bitterly, and said slowly without a moment's hesitation.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but a flash of disappointment flashed between his eyebrows.

"Don't think so little of yourself!"

"Since you said you don't care what others say, then do your own thing well. We will talk about the future matters later. As a son of the Zhu family, no matter when and where you are, you must shoulder your due responsibilities."

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, looked at Zhu Yunxi with a kind face, and said solemnly.

"My grandson will remember the teachings of Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Yunxi was moved in his heart, and without changing his expression, he respectfully agreed.

"Are you confident about uncovering the traitor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then thought again and spoke again.

"As long as their evil intentions persist, they will definitely take action and sooner or later they will be exposed."

Zhu Yunxi replied affirmatively.

"Okay, although it is important to find the traitor, you must also protect yourself and do not rush into anything. Your personal safety is the most important thing."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi seriously and warned patiently.

"My grandson understands. Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for reminding me."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and replied piously.

"The registration should have been more solemn, but due to the opposition of the ministers, in order to avoid going wrong, we had to keep everything simple. The registration ceremony can only be omitted, which is a grievance for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said slowly.

"It doesn't matter, it's all fake anyway."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said nonchalantly, with a bitter smile on his face as he spoke.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled helplessly, with a trace of distress in his eyes.

"Can you play chess?"

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic and asked gently.

"know a little."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment and replied softly.

"Then play chess with me for a while."

Zhu Yuanzhang said something, and then signaled Wang Defa to put the chess equipment in place.

A pair of grandfather and grandson, who had not met each other for many years, sat opposite each other on this Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, immersed in the rare atmosphere of family affection.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because he found that his grandson's chess moves were wild and unorganized, but his offensive was fierce and gave him no chance to breathe.

This was the first time he had encountered such a no-sparing chess technique, because when other people played chess with him, they didn't dare to beat him, and they always tried their best to let him win.

By chance, he met an opponent who really wanted to compete with him. Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood. He nodded with satisfaction and dropped a piece with great interest.

Wang Defa stood aside silently, looking at Zhu Yunxi who had forced His Majesty in front of him to be at a loss, and opened his mouth in surprise.

After a long time, after a game of chess was played, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely defeated and had almost no power to resist.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel ashamed. Instead, he stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"My grandson is victorious. Grandpa Huang won't be angry, right?"

Zhu Yunxi bowed his hands and asked with a smile.

"Stinky boy!"

"Let me tell you, I haven't lost a game of chess in decades!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at Zhu Yunxi, and said in a deep voice, but even though he said this, the smile between his eyebrows could not be concealed at all.

"Then my grandson will let you be a little bit softer next time."

Zhu Yunxi showed a naive smile and said honestly.

After hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed heartily again, his face turning red.

Wang Defa on the side also smiled bitterly and shook his head. He dared to speak so unscrupulously in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty would not be angry because of it. I am afraid that only the grandson of the Three Emperors is now.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was laughing non-stop, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to giggle along with him, but in his heart he was just like Ming Jing.

He knew that if he lost today, or deliberately betrayed him, then he would be no different from anyone else. If he wanted to attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention and leave a deep impression on his almost forgotten grandson, he must try his best to win the victory just now. That game!

"I never thought that not only could you argue and write books, but you could also play chess so well!"

"As expected of our biological grandson!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang stopped laughing, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with approval and praised him without hesitation.

"Grandpa Huang is over praised. It's just because the blood of Grandpa Huang remains in my grandson's blood, so he is naturally outstanding. If you really want to praise him, you have to say that Grandpa Huang is the best among men. No one can surpass you."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, cupped his hands, and said modestly.

"Persistence despite perseverance, peaceful but not arrogant, not bad, not bad."

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and praised him heartily.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and bowed respectfully.

The praise he heard that night was more than what he remembered hearing from "Zhu Yunxi" in his more than ten years of life.

"I heard that today in the garden behind Huagai Palace, you contradicted your Aunt Ruyang in order to vent your anger on Xiao Huan's daughter, Xiao Ling'er?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, put away his smile, looked at Zhu Yunxi thoughtfully and asked.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden question, Zhu Yunxi's scalp tightened, knowing that it must be Concubine Guo Ning who told Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yes."

"But my grandson is not doing this to vent his anger on Xiao Ling'er, but to protect the royal family's face."

"Aunt Ruyang knew that Xiao Ling'er was already engaged to her grandson, but she still humiliated Xiao Ling'er in front of so many servants, and even let her maid slap Xiao Ling'er in the mouth. Not only was she hitting Xiao Ling'er, The face is also the face of the grandson, and it is also the face of the royal family.”

"Moreover, Aunt Ruyang's words seem to despise the generals. My grandson cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. If the generals in the court overhear it, it will inevitably chill their hearts."

"If my grandson does something wrong, he is willing to be punished."

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment, then knelt directly on the ground, with a respectful face, and said loudly.

"Get up and kneel down for what? I didn't say I wanted to punish you."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and hurriedly reached out to help Zhu Yunxi up, his eyes full of approval.

"You are right. Ruyang has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She has a very unruly temper. She did something wrong in this matter. I will let her mother beat her."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi who stood up slowly and said seriously.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for Mingjian."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said obediently.

"The reason why I specifically ordered Xiao Huan to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Eve Banquet with his daughter was to bring you two closer together. Unexpectedly, I happened to let you perform a hero's rescue of the beauty. It seems that my purpose has been achieved. "

"Although your engagement is for two years, you can't continue to misunderstand me. You will understand my feelings in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi and said seriously.

"Grandpa Huang has taken the trouble."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said gratefully.

"Is your illness getting better?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang leaned forward and asked softly.

"It has improved, but it will take some time to recover."

Zhu Yunxi swallowed his saliva and answered softly.

"That's good."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded with relief.

But Zhu Yunxi could only smile bitterly in his heart. At that time, he just said such an unreasonable excuse out of desperation. Unexpectedly, it actually became his own flaw, even a stain.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Now that you are a grandson and you are not going to the Imperial College, you can't remain as ignorant as before, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused and continued to ask.

"My grandson wants to open a bookstore to sell books and calligraphy."

"Open another dessert shop. Don't the Emperor and Concubine Ning think the ice crystal mooncakes are delicious? Then the people will also like to eat them."

"With these two shops, we might be able to make a lot of money."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment and replied with a smile, as if he was excited about the money.

"As a son of the Zhu family, how can I have such ambitions?!"

"You disappoint me so much!"

But after hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he asked dissatisfiedly.

In his heart, he had actually long since placed high hopes on the grandson in front of him, even though he had once been the least favored grandson and had even slowly forgotten about him.

But as time went by, this grandson brought him more and more surprises, and he had to re-examine who was the truly suitable future prince...
