The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chen Wu told Yuan Qi that Zhu Zhanji didn't like crickets, and told him that Ma Sanbao wanted to arrange an errand for him.

"Wang Zhong and I guessed that Mr. Ma will arrange for you to go to the [-]th Prison or the [-]th Division." Chen Wu said again, "Yuan Qi, whether it's the [-]th Prison or the Fourth Division is a good place to go."

Yuan Qi was sullen and did not speak.

"Yuan Qi, Wang Zhong and I have spoken good words for you, but Your Highness said that he has no shortage of people to serve you." Seeing Yuan Qi's gloomy face and not speaking, Chen Wu knew that he was very upset, "Your Highness knows that you are My friend Wang Zhong and I specially asked Eunuch Ma to arrange a good job for you. Yuan Qi, with your temperament and intelligence, once you go to the [-]th Prison or the [-]th Division, you will be able to rise to the top soon."

"Brother Chen Wu, the Twelfth Supervisor and the Fourth Division are naturally good errands, but they are still not good enough to serve His Highness." Yuan Qi wanted to be the number one eunuch in the palace and live a prosperous life.

"Yuan Qi, go to the Twelfth Superintendent or the Fourth Division to work first. I believe you will be able to do the job well. Then His Highness will see your ability. At that time, Wang Zhong and I will talk good things to you. Maybe at that time His Highness will ask you to serve him by his side, and he will rely heavily on you."

Yuan Qi's eyes lit up when Chen Wu said these words.

"Yuan Qi, if you want to serve His Highness, go to the Twelfth Superintendent or the Fourth Division and do a good job so that His Highness can see your ability. Then you can still help His Highness, and His Highness will definitely use you. "

Yuan Qi felt that Chen Wu's words made sense, nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Chen Wu, you are right, if I make some achievements in the [-]th Prison or the [-]th Division, His Highness will definitely let me serve him .”

Seeing that Yuan Qi had regained his energy and looked full of energy, Chen Wu heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.

"Yuan Qi, I believe you can do it."

Yuan Qi patted his chest, and said confidently: "Brother Chen Wu, I can definitely do it."

Chen Wu smiled apologetically at Yuan Qi: "Yuan Qi, sorry, we didn't help you this time."

"Brother Chen Wu, there is nothing His Highness can do if he doesn't like crickets. Besides, didn't you and Brother Wang Zhong help me find a good job from His Highness, I thank you very much." Yuan Qi stood up and saluted Chen Wu.

Chen Wu quickly stood up and helped Yuan Qi up: "Yuan Qi, what are you doing?"

"Brother Chen Wu, thank you very much." Yuan Qi said with a smile, "When I become famous, I will definitely thank you very much."

"You and I are friends, and we should help each other. Don't say thank you between us." Chen Wu pointed to the dishes and snacks on the table and said, "You must be hungry, let's eat something first."

"Brother Chen Wu, then I won't be polite." Yuan Qi picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and started to eat.He thought the dishes were cold, but he didn't expect them to be warm. "Brother Chen Wu, this dish is really delicious."

"This is leftover from His Highness's meal, made by the small kitchen of Kunning Palace." Chen Wu said with a smile, "Your Highness is very picky about food, if the chef in the small kitchen cooks bad food, His Highness will punish you. "

"I've heard of this." Yuan Qi asked curiously with his mouth full of oil, "Brother Chen Wu, His Highness doesn't like cricket fighting, so what does he usually like to play with?"

"Your Highness plays Cuju when you have time on weekdays." Chen Wu thought for a while and said, "Your Highness also plays chess, plays the piano, and draws pictures to pass the time. However, Your Highness plays Cuju the most."

"Brother Chen Wu, why didn't you say it earlier." Yuan Qi glared at Chen Wu complainingly, and then said angrily, "If I knew His Highness liked Cuju, I would have given His Highness a Cuju."

"Yuan Qi, I didn't hit you. Do you think the cuju you gave me was made in the palace?" Chen Wu picked up a piece of chicken and put it into Yuan Qi's bowl, and said with a chuckle, "The supervisor of ceremonies will eat it every once in a while." I will make a new Cuju for His Highness every time."

When Yuan Qi heard this, his face immediately collapsed, and he pouted and said, "That's right."

"The Emperor and the Empress dote on Your Highness, and His Highness's basic necessities of life are excellent." Chen Wu said again, "The emperor and the Empress will immediately order the Fashion Bureau to make it for Your Highness if the local government pays tribute to the good fabrics in the palace. clothing."

"Brother Chen Wu, Your Majesty

And the empress dotes on His Highness, no one knows. "Yuan Qi said in a tone full of envy, "So, Brother Chen Wu, how lucky you are to be able to serve His Highness. "

Seeing Yuan Qi's envious face, Chen Wu didn't show off or show off in front of him.Since he went to serve Zhu Zhanji, he never showed off in front of Yuan Qi.

"Wang Zhong and I have been lucky for eight lifetimes." After finishing speaking, he deliberately brought the topic back, "Your Highness is very smart, not an ordinary child."

"Brother Chen Wu, shouldn't His Highness be smart?"

"No, what I mean is that His Highness's intelligence is different from others." Chen Wu said, "Although His Highness is young, he understands many things, so I told you before, you can't treat Your Highness as an ordinary child. .”

"Brother Chen Wu, tell me how smart His Highness is?"

"Your Highness..." Chen Wu was just about to say something, when he suddenly realized that there were many things he couldn't say, "Yuan Qi, I'm sorry, I can't say anything."

Yuan Qi didn't press Chen Wu any further, and started talking to him about the dishes he ate.

In terms of eating, Chen Wu was influenced by Zhu Zhanji, and he was able to speak clearly.

After eating, Chen Wu asked Yuan Qi to stay and rest, and Yuan Qi stayed politely.

After a while, Chen Wu fell asleep, but Yuan Qi did not.

Yuan Qi stared at Chen Wu's face, and swore in his heart that he must serve His Highness by his side.

Bai Hua and Ma Sanbao acted very quickly, and they investigated the cricket and cock fight clearly within a day.

After checking it out, it will be reported to Zhu Di and Empress Xu.

Zhu Di and Queen Xu ordered severe punishment.

Anyone who fought crickets or cocks in private in the palace was punished. Some were punished, some were fined a monthly fee, and some were demoted to the palace.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu also ordered the eunuchs and maids in the palace to be revoked, which made the eunuchs and maids a lot more honest.

When Zhu Yunqi was in power, he advocated "benevolence" to govern the country and manage the harem.The punishment for the people in the palace has always been light, which caused the eunuchs and maids in the palace to be a little lax in the rules and etiquette.However, the rules of Yanwang Mansion are very strict, and the requirements for servants are very strict.

Yuan Qi originally thought that he would also be unlucky, but unexpectedly he escaped a catastrophe and was even sent to the Zhidian Supervisor.

The Zhidian Supervisor is in charge of cleaning the halls and corridors.

Seeing Yuan Qi's failure and not serving Zhu Zhanji, Deshun was naturally very angry, but there was nothing he could do.After much deliberation, he could only think of a way.

He used the excuse of going out of the palace to run a business, so he went out of the palace to meet the altar master.

The altar master asked: "Can't you buy off the eunuchs or maids around Zhu Zhanji?"

Deshun replied respectfully: "Altar Master, there are only two eunuchs around Zhu Zhanji. They are inseparable from Zhu Zhanji. It is difficult for humble officials to get in touch with them. Another point is that they are difficult to be bought."

"Apart from these two personal eunuchs, is there no other servant around Zhu Zhanji?"

"No."

"Zhu Zhanji is the emperor's grandson, and there are only two people around him?" The altar owner was a little disbelieving.

"Altar Master, you don't know that Zhu Zhanji doesn't live in his own palace. If he lives in his Hongqing Palace, naturally there won't be two people around him to serve him."

"Then where does he live?"

"Kunning Palace, Zhu Zhanji lives with the empress, and people in Kunning Palace also serve him, so there are not many people who serve him personally."

"Can't you bribe people from Kunning Palace?"

"Altar Master, the people of Kunning Palace are not so easy to buy."

"You can't buy the people around the queen, but can you buy the maids and eunuchs of the Kunning Palace?" The altar owner felt that Deshun's brain was a bit out of order, "We just need to know the whereabouts of Zhu Zhanji."

Deshun said: "Try a humble job."

"This matter must be done quickly." The altar master warned very sternly, "The teacher must be in a hurry."

Deshun asked boldly: "The altar master, what is the leader Zhu Zhanji doing?"

The altar master glanced at Deshun coldly, and said in a cold tone: "This is not something you should ask about."

Deshun felt a chill in his heart, and said with a frightened face: "I know my mistakes from my humble job."

The altar master waved his hand, "Do your job well and don't let me down."

"Yes, altar master." After Deshun finished speaking, he retreated obediently.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Deshun spent some effort and finally succeeded in buying a rough envoy eunuch in Kunning Palace named Xiao Yezi.

This little leaf is in charge of cleaning the yard of Kunning Palace on weekdays.

Zhu Zhanji usually likes to play Cuju in the courtyard of Kunning Palace, take a walk to digest food, and play hide-and-seek with Heiyu.

The eunuchs and maids cleaning the yard can often see Zhu Zhanji in the afternoon.

For them, the happiest moment of every day is seeing His Royal Highness in the afternoon.

His Royal Highness treats them very well.When the weather is cold, His Highness will send them ginger soup.When the weather is hot, His Highness will send them herbal tea.

Last winter, His Royal Highness Huangsun saw that their clothes were thin, and specially gave them thick clothes.

His Royal Highness is very kind to them.Sometimes, even chat with them.

Xiao Yezi thought that Deshun worshiped His Royal Highness and just wanted to know something about His Royal Highness, so he bought her off.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't know what happened in the yard for the time being.For the past two days, his attention has been on his mother.

Crown Princess Zhang Mingzhen will give birth in the next few days.In the past two days, Zhu Zhanji often went to the East Palace.

On this day, Zhu Zhanji went to the East Palace to visit Zhang Mingzhen after lunch.

Xiangse and the others supported Zhang Mingzhen for a walk, and Zhu Zhanji was by her side.

After walking for a while, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly had a stomachache.

Seeing this, Xiang Se knew that the princess concubine was about to give birth, and immediately ordered someone to prepare hot water, and went to the imperial hospital to call the imperial doctor.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi stood outside the delivery room.

Zhang Mingzhen cried out in pain from time to time in the delivery room.

Zhu Zhanji's scalp tingled when he heard it: "Daddy, did mother scream so badly when she gave birth to me?"

"That's not true. Your mother gave birth to you very smoothly, and you didn't suffer any crimes." Zhu Gaochi comforted Zhu Zhanji, "Women will scream in pain when they give birth, and your mother will be fine."

"what!!!!!"

Zhang Mingzhen's sharp cry came again from the delivery room, making Zhu Gaochi's heart skip a beat.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't stand his mother's screams, so he raised his hands to cover his ears.

Fortunately, Zhang Mingzhen stopped crying after crying for a while, and then the baby's cry came from the delivery room.
