The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

At this time, Nanjing Wharf was full of guards and ministers.

People were also standing outside the pier.

The common people heard that the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess arrived in Nanjing today, and they all came to see it curiously.Seeing Zhu Zhanji's beauty, they felt that the prince and princess must also be immortals.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji sat in the gazebo of the pier, playing chess while waiting for Empress Xu and the others to arrive.

Fortunately, the wind at the pier was strong, otherwise everyone standing under the scorching sun would definitely suffer from heat stroke.

Zhu Zhanji looked up at Jiang Mian from time to time, muttering in his small mouth: "Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Seeing his grandson's anxious look, Zhu Di stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead: "Your grandmother and the others will be here soon, what are you in a hurry for?"

"I haven't seen the imperial grandmother for a long time, and I miss her." Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Di sideways, "Grandpa, aren't you also in a hurry?"

Zhu Di, who was seen through by his grandson, had an unnatural expression on his face. He dropped the chess piece in his hand and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said to Zhu Di: "Grandpa Emperor, I'll walk around." It's too impatient to sit here and wait.

Zhu Di nodded lightly: "Go."

Zhu Zhanji led Chen Wu and Wang Zhong out of the pavilion and walked towards the south.

Although he had been to Nanjing Wharf before, he hadn't visited carefully.Before the imperial grandmother and the others arrived, he walked around to have a look.

After walking for a while, Zhu Zhanji heard a weak meowing.

"Did you hear the cat meow?"

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong listened carefully for a while, and then said: "Go back to Your Highness, I heard it."

Zhu Zhanji listened carefully to the meowing again, and found that it was coming from the front, so he ran over quickly.

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong hurriedly chased after him.

After running for a while, I finally saw the cat on a tree.

This is a kitten who looks to be only one or two months old.The whole body is black, but its mouth is white, its neck is also white, and its four small paws are also white.A pair of big round eyes, looks very cute.

"Cat cat." Zhu Zhanji called out in a low voice for fear of scaring the kitten.

"Meow..." The kitten with its four paws tightly clutching the branch, trembling slightly, lowered its head and looked pitifully at Zhu Zhanji under the tree.

Zhu Zhanji was poked by the helpless and pitiful eyes of the kitten, "Maomao, don't be afraid, I will save you now."

"Meow..." The kitten called Zhu Zhanji weakly, as if responding to him.

Zhu Zhanji rolled up his sleeves and was about to climb the tree, but Chen Wu and the others quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness, this servant climbed up to rescue him."

"Then you climb up."

Chen Wu's movements were very quick, and he quickly climbed up the tree.

When the kitten saw him, it immediately arched its waist, the fur on its back stood up, and breathed at him fiercely and warily.

Without any hesitation, Chen Wu reached out and grabbed its neck.

The kitten really wanted to resist, but it was held by the neck, so it couldn't resist at all, so it could only sigh at Chen Wu sternly.

Chen Wu carried it with one hand and climbed down the tree with the other.

Zhu Zhanji hurried forward, ready to take the kitten from Chen Wu.

"Your Highness, this cat is very fierce. This servant is worried that it will scratch you."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Zhu Zhanji took the kitten carefully and held it in his arms.

The kitten, which had just been struggling violently in Chen Wu's hands, and breathed fiercely, became very obedient when it was in Zhu Zhanji's arms.

It raised its head and called Zhu Zhanji pitifully a few times.

Zhu Zhanji reached out and touched its little head, and said with a smile on his face: "It's so cute. From today, I will be your master."

The kitten was very comfortable being touched by Zhu Zhanji and purred.

Seeing that the kitten was so cute in Zhu Zhanji's arms, Chen Wu scolded it inwardly.

"Your Highness, there should be lice on this cat. Give it to my servant." Wang Zhong said, "When I bring it back to the palace, my servant will bathe the cat and clean it before you hug it."

"Your Highness, Wang Zhong is right, this cat must have lice, so you should stop hugging it."

"It's okay, the lice can't come to me." Zhu Zhanji touched the kitten's belly, which was soft and deflated, "I'll take you to eat."

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong had no choice but to follow Zhu Zhanji back.

"Grandpa, I found a cat." Before Zhu Zhanji arrived at the gazebo, his voice came first.

"cat?"

When Zhu Zhanji walked into the gazebo, Zhu Di noticed the thin cat in his arms.

"I just picked it up from a tree." Zhu Zhanji felt the shivering kitten in his arms, and stroked its head and back. "Grandpa, can I have a cat?"

"Okay." Zhu Di thought that the cat was picked up from the outside, and it must be unclean, "This cat has not been cleaned, so you should not hug it."

"It's okay, I don't dislike it." Zhu Zhanji picked up a piece of snack, squeezed it into small pieces, and fed them to the kitten piece by piece.

There are only snacks in the gazebo, and there is nothing else to eat, so I can only feed the kitten with snacks first.

The kitten was very hungry and eagerly ate snacks.

Zhu Zhanji was afraid that it would choke, so he brought his teacup to the kitten and let it drink water.

Seeing this, Zhu Di didn't say anything.

Although the kitten is very hungry, it is still small, and it will be full after two snacks.

Chen Wu brought a box from nowhere, and Zhu Zhanji put the kitten in it.He was afraid that the box would be hard, so he deliberately put his handkerchief in the box.

The kitten lay obediently in the box, slightly raised its head to enjoy the little master's touch.After a while, the kitten fell asleep in the box.

At this time, a guard came to report that the empress's boat was not far ahead and was about to arrive at the pier.

Zhu Zhanji handed the kitten to Chen Wu and the others, and followed Zhu Di to the pier.

After waiting for a while, the grandfather and grandson finally saw the official ship carrying Empress Xu and the others.

Empress Xu, Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Yu stood on the deck of the bow.

Zhu Zhanji waved to Empress Xu who was not far away, and shouted loudly: "Grandmother, father, mother."

When Empress Xu heard her grandson's cry, she immediately raised a smile on her face and waved to her grandson who was not far away.

Zhu Gaochi really wanted to wave his hands and yell in response to his son, but considering that he is the prince now, and there are so many people watching on both sides of the strait, it is not easy for him to do such a rude thing.

Looking at her son on the shore not far away, Zhang Mingzhen felt both joy and sourness in her heart.

Zhu Zhanji waved vigorously while jumping up and down: "Grandmother, father, mother."

Zhu Di didn't yell this time, but just waved to Empress Xu who was not far away.

Standing behind them, Zhu Gaoxu whispered to Zhu Gaosui: "Why didn't Dad yell today?"

Zhu Gaosu glanced at Zhu Di, who was very quiet today, and said in a low voice: "Father is the emperor now, how could he still yell like before."

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "Father finally knows that he is the emperor."

"Second brother, what you said..."

Soon, the boat that Empress Xu and the others took arrived at the pier.

Zhu Di boarded the boat himself, and led Empress Xu's hand to get off the boat.

At this time, the guards and all the civil and military officials saluted Empress Xu and the others: "Your servants will see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

"The ministers and others see His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

"I'm waiting to see the princess."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Empress."

Zhu Di held Empress Xu's hand and said, "Are you tired, do you want to sit in the gazebo for a while and return to the palace later?"

Empress Xu glanced at the crowded crowd on the pier, and smiled slightly at Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not tired, let's go back to the palace directly." The weather is so hot, and Empress Xu is a little uncomfortable asking everyone to wait for them at the pier. have the heart.

"Okay, then let's go back to the palace."

Zhu Zhanji followed Zhu Di and Empress Xu into the carriage, and Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Mingzhen got into another carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Empress Xu took Zhu Zhanji into her arms, touching and kissing him.

For Empress Xu, her grandson has been raised by her side since he was born, and has never been separated for such a long time.After seeing Zhu Zhanji for a while, Empress Xu really missed her grandson.

Zhu Zhanji kissed his imperial grandmother a few times, and acted like a baby in Empress Xu, saying how much he missed her.

Empress Xu was very happy to be coaxed, and she kept saying "my good grandson".

Looking at the picture of Empress Xu and Zhu Zhanji getting tired of being together, Zhu Di felt a little apprehensive.In his opinion, the person Empress Xu misses the most should be him.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Zhanji nestled in Empress Xu's arms, chattering to her about what he had done during this time, and what Zhu Di had done.

When she learned that Zhu Di was very busy every day and reviewed the memorials late at night, Empress Xu immediately felt distressed.

"Your Majesty, no matter how busy the state affairs are, you must pay attention to your body."

Hearing Empress Xu's words of concern, Zhu Di felt warm in his heart: "Empress, you are here, you can supervise me to have a good rest."

Empress Xu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my concubine will definitely supervise you."

The two met and smiled.

Although Zhu Di and Empress Xu didn't talk about love, Zhu Zhanji still felt the deep affection between them.

Zhu Zhanji got up from Empress Xu's arms, sat aside and said to Zhu Di: "Grandpa Emperor, I know you want to hug Grandmother, so I will give you Grandmother."

Zhu Di raised his hand and gently tapped his precious grandson's little head, and said with a doting smile, "It's not big or small."

"Grandpa, I know you want to hug Grandmother, so don't hold back." Zhu Zhanji urged solemnly, "Hurry up and hug Grandmother."

Empress Xu reached out and pinched Zhu Zhanji's soft face: "Slick."

Zhu Di was not embarrassed, and reached out to hold Empress Xu in his arms.

Empress Xu was stunned for a moment, then softened her body and leaned against Zhu Di's arms.

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand to cover his eyes, but the distance between his fingers was a bit large.

Empress Xu couldn't help laughing when she saw her grandson peeking at her.

In the presence of Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di just hugged Empress Xu and did nothing else.

The two hugged for a while and then let go of each other.

Zhu Zhanji covered his eyes tightly and said to Zhu Di and the others: "Grandfather and Grandmother, don't worry about me, you can do whatever you want, I won't peek."

Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji into his arms, raised his hand and gently slapped his little butt.

"No seriousness."

"Grandpa, actually you really want to kiss Grandmother." Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Di teasingly, "Grandpa, don't be shy, kiss directly, I will cover my eyes and not look at you."

With a slap, Zhu Zhanji's little butt was slapped hard by Empress Xu.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month, how dare you laugh at the emperor's grandmother and emperor's grandfather."

Zhu Zhanji pouted, and said aggrievedly: "Grandmother, I'm not thinking of you."

Empress Xu laughed and scolded: "It's getting more and more naughty."

After Zhu Di and the others left, the ministers and common people on the pier also left.

The common people are very dissatisfied with the appearance of the prince and princess, especially the prince.They never expected the prince to be a big fat man.

It is obvious that His Royal Highness the emperor's grandson looks like a celestial being, so why is the crown prince a big fat man, and he is not good-looking.The princess is very thin, but her appearance is not very good.Then how did they give birth to His Royal Highness who is good-looking?

Not to mention that the common people were very disappointed with Zhu Gaochi, and many officials were also very disappointed with the prince's figure and appearance.

Many officials, like the common people, saw that His Highness the Emperor's grandson was beautiful, and thought that His Highness the Crown Prince should also be a handsome person. They never thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was actually a big fat man. This...

There are also many officials who have met Zhu Gaochi before.At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive.It's just that Zhu Gaochi is not as fat as he is now.It's only been a few years, His Royal Highness has grown so fat, it's really...

Although you can't judge people by their appearance, people are sensory animals, and they definitely like good-looking things.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui rode horses and accompanied Zhu Di's carriage.

Of course they noticed the expressions of the officials seeing Zhu Gaochi just now, and they were very happy in their hearts.

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his voice and said to Zhu Gaosui: "Third brother, the ministers are not very satisfied with the eldest brother, the prince."

"The ministers probably didn't expect His Royal Highness to be a big fat man." Zhu Gaosui said with a smile, "Second brother, you can rest assured now."

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face: "Third brother, fortunately I listened to your words, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the scene just now."

"Second brother, maybe in a short while, a minister will propose..." Zhu Gaosui didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious.

Zhu Gaoxu instantly understood what Zhu Gaosui meant: "I will arrange it."

"Second brother, wait for a while to arrange, after all, mother and the others are just here."

As soon as Empress Xu was mentioned, Zhu Gaoxu's full smile disappeared when he learned just now, and a trace of fear could not help showing on his face.

"You're right." Mother just arrived, if he deals with elder brother at this time, mother will definitely not let him go.

Zhu Gaochi, who was discussed by Zhu Gaoxu and the others, was paralyzed on the carriage without any image at the moment.

Zhang Mingzhen sat aside and massaged him with Li Liang.

"Oh, it's not good for a son to be too beautiful." Zhu Gaochi didn't fail to notice the surprised and disappointed expressions of the ministers when they saw him.

"Your Highness, it's your own fault. Don't blame Zhanji." Zhang Mingzhen immediately defended her son, "Who is to blame for your own weight gain? You have been told to lose weight a long time ago, but you don't."

Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed: "Let them go." Because he was too fat, Zhu Gaochi had received many strange looks, and he didn't take the disappointed looks of the ministers just now. "I rely on talent, not face." He learned this sentence from Zhu Zhanji.

Zhang Mingzhen was amused by Zhu Gaochi's last sentence, and echoed him: "Yes, yes, our Prince does not depend on his face but on his talent."

Zhu Gaochi reached out and touched his face, and said silently in his heart, in fact, I also want to rely on my face.

"I don't know how Zhanji has been during this time?" Thinking that after seeing them just now, his son only got close to Empress Xu, followed Empress Xu into the carriage, and left them behind, Zhang Mingzhen felt a little uncomfortable up.Although she knew in her heart that her son was raised by Empress Xu since he was a child, and it was right to get close to Empress Xu, as a mother, she still couldn't help being a little jealous.

"It must be better than ours." Zhu Gaochi comforted Zhang Mingzhen, "You see, he has grown up a lot, and he has grown a lot taller, and his little face is still flushed."

"Too."

"Father is hungry, and he will not know Zhan Ji." Zhu Gaochi's words are absolutely correct.Zhu Di would rather starve himself than let his precious grandson starve.Of course, it is impossible for them to starve. "It's also thanks to the master who brought Zhanji to find father first, otherwise I, the crown prince, would be hanging."

Zhu Gaochi was very surprised when he learned on the ship that he was named the crown prince.He originally thought that his father would not immediately canonize him as a prince, after all Zhu Di had always been dissatisfied with him.

When he was the eldest son, Zhu Di was very dissatisfied.Now that he is going to be the prince, it stands to reason that Zhu Di will be even more dissatisfied, and will take this opportunity to make his second brother the prince.

Zhu Gaoxu wrote to ask Daoyan what was going on.Dao Yan said that he gave birth to a good son.

"His Royal Highness, you are the eldest son. If the emperor does not make you the prince, who will be the prince?" Zhang Mingzhen felt that Zhu Gaochi was thinking too much.

Seeing that Zhang Mingzhen didn't understand, Zhu Gaochi didn't say much.He knew best in his heart that he didn't think too much about it.Without the son Zhanji, he would not have been canonized as the prince immediately.

Others are more expensive than mothers and sons, but he is more expensive than fathers and sons!

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi felt that there is nothing wrong with the fact that fathers are more expensive than sons.Others think that fathers are more expensive than sons, but they can't, such as the second and third brothers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing triumphantly.

"Hahahahaha..."

Seeing Zhu Gaochi laughing suddenly, Zhang Mingzhen asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, what are you laughing at?"

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Mingzhen, in our family, your mother is more expensive than your son, but my father is more expensive than your son."
