The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

In the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, something like that happened in the Palace of the King of Han. Now everyone in the capital is talking about the lack of virtue of His Highness the King of Han, which caused thunder and lightning." Xie Jin was the most straightforward of them, "Your Majesty, Your enthronement ceremony is an important event, a grand event for Ming Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes."

Yang Shiqi went on to say: "Your Majesty, what Master Xie said is very true. His Highness the King of Han is now being criticized by others. It is better not to attend the enthronement ceremony."

Yang Rong followed up and said, "Your Majesty, what if His Highness King of Han attends the enthronement ceremony and brings thunder, lightning, and even fire like a few days ago?"

"Your Majesty, there must be no mistakes in your enthronement ceremony."

Listening to Yang Shiqi and the three of them, Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, the incident in Han Palace is well known, you should think twice."

"His Majesty……"

Yang Shiqi and the others, as Zhu Di's confidantes, always think about Zhu Di.They also hesitated for a few days about not allowing King Han to participate in the enthronement ceremony before they dared to bring it up to Zhu Di.

"I know the words of the three lovers." Naturally, Zhu Di could feel the sincerity of Yang Shiqi and the others.

Yang Shiqi and the three of them felt relieved when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin, and said in a gentle voice, "Please tell me, Ai Qing."

"Your Majesty, when your enthronement ceremony is over, you should let His Royal Highness the King of Han return to the Yunnan fiefdom." Xie Jin said, "Your Majesty, I said something rebellious. His Highness the King of Han is not suitable to stay in the capital, let alone by your side." , otherwise it might bring you..." [Unfortunately], Xie Jin didn't dare to say it.

Yang Shiqi went on to say: "Your Majesty, Yunnan is an important place in southern Xinjiang. After you ascended the throne, several countries around Yunnan did not send people to congratulate them. You should send His Royal Highness to Yunnan to frighten them."

Yang Rong said: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han is brave and good at fighting, and he is your own son. If he goes to guard Yunnan, the surrounding countries naturally dare not underestimate Daming."

Xie Jinyan said: "Your Majesty, the countries around Yunnan have always been dishonest. They should have sent a majestic general to guard them long ago. Isn't that why you asked His Royal Highness King Han to go to Yunnan?"

Zhu Di nodded lightly: "I let Gao Xu go to Yunnan to deter the surrounding countries. At the same time, I also supervise Yunnan officials to prevent them from colluding with foreign countries."

"Your Majesty, since you have this intention, after the enthronement ceremony is over, you should let His Highness King of Han return to Yunnan."

"Your Majesty, apart from His Highness the King of Han, the other lords should also return to their fiefs." Yang Shiqi persuaded, "It is not a good thing that so many vassal kings are stranded in the capital."

Zhu Di nodded his head lightly and said, "That's exactly what I mean. After the enthronement ceremony is over, let the vassal kings return to their fiefdoms."

Yang Rong and the others quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di smiled slightly, then looked at Yang Shiqi, "After the enthronement ceremony is over, Shiqi, it's time for you to teach Zhanji how to read."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Zhanji likes to read and study, and he asks me every day, when will you teach him to read?" Zhu Di shook his head, helplessly and dotingly, "He couldn't wait to read, and said that if you are too busy, Teach him to read and ask me to change him to another teacher, I have never seen a child who loves reading so much."

"It's the minister's fault for not teaching His Highness."

"Zhanji also said that if you don't teach him, he can finish reading the three biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period." Zhu Di was deeply helpless, but his tone was full of pride, "This child studies for at least two hours a day. The empress and I They didn’t urge him to read and write, he read and practiced very obediently himself.”

"I didn't expect His Highness to be so eager to learn." Yang Shiqi joked, "When I was three or four years old, I only knew how to play, and was forced by my parents to study."

Xie Jin said: "I didn't get enlightened until I was six years old. At that time, I didn't want to study. I was always forced to study by my master and parents."

Yang Rong also said: "I didn't want to study when I was a child, and was forced to study by my parents. It's really rare for someone like His Highness to love reading and studying."

What Zhu Di wanted to hear was what they said.

"I didn't want to study when I was young. At that time, my father was fighting outside and couldn't control our brothers' studies. The eldest brother was responsible for teaching us to read. Our brothers were very naughty, and few of them were willing to study. At that time, the eldest brother was very angry. I have suffered a lot of beatings because of it.” Thinking of the time when he was studying when he was a child, Zhu Di’s face showed nostalgia, “At that time, in order to let us study hard, my elder brother threatened and lured us in various ways, but it still didn’t work out. The effect. I originally thought that I would threaten and lure my grandson like my elder brother so that my grandson can study hard, but I didn't expect that I don't have to worry about it at all."

"Your Majesty, it's your blessing that His Highness is so diligent and studious." Yang Shiqi said with a smile, "I often have a headache about reading to my children, and they are not very willing to study."

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry about his studies. It really makes the ministers envy His Majesty." They were not flattering, but really envied Zhu Di for having such an obedient and studious grandson.

Hearing the envious words of Yang Shiqi and the others, Zhu Di was extremely proud, but he said: "Sometimes this kid spends half a day studying, and I'm worried that he likes reading too much and thinks he's a nerd."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is beautiful, how could he become a nerd?" His Royal Highness was full of cleverness, which made people like it very much.

"Your Majesty, with Master Yang's teaching in the future, His Highness will never become a nerd."

Zhu Di looked at Yang Shiqi again: "Shiqi, you should take more care when teaching him in the future, don't let him study hard."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di then showed off Zhu Zhanji's intelligence and agility to Yang Shiqi and the others, which made Yang Rong and the others startled.

Zhu Zhanji, who was flaunted by Zhu Di everywhere, was playing Cuju with the eunuchs in Qiongyuan and Zhu Panxuan.

Zhu Zhanji can read and practice calligraphy every day, but he didn't forget to play.

He works on a principle.When you are studying, study hard.When you play, play well.When you are reading, you will never want to play, and when you are playing, you will never want to read.

Now he is still too young to play many things, but he can play Cuju well.

After playing Cuju for a while, Zhu Zhanji and the others stopped.

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong brought tea and snacks.

Zhu Zhanji also asked them to prepare tea and snacks for the eunuchs who played Cuju with them.Of course, the tea and snacks given to them are different, and they are definitely not as good as Zhu Zhanji's.

Zhu Panxuan took a nest of silk and Fang hesitated to eat it.Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji asked with some doubts: "Uncle Panxuan, what's the matter with you, why are you in a daze?"

"Zhanji, Daddy said we're leaving soon."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "When Grandpa Huang's enthronement ceremony is over, Grandpa Seventeen will return to his fief."

"Zhanji, I don't want to be separated from you." Zhu Panxuan was reluctant to part with Zhu Zhanji.He knew in his heart that if he separated from Zhanji this time, he would not see Zhanji for a long time.

"Uncle Panxuan, it's fine if you want to stay, but do you really want to separate from your parents?"

Zhu Panxuan was silent when he heard this.He didn't want to be separated from Zhanji, nor did he want to leave his father and mother.

"Zhanji, can't Daddy stay in Nanjing?"

"Grandpa Seventeen is a vassal king. According to the rules, he is going to fief the land." Zhu Zhanji took a bite of the snowflake crisps, and then said, "Uncle Panxuan, Grandpa Seventeen will not be willing to stay in Nanjing forever."

Zhu Panxuan had a bitter face and did not speak.

"Uncle Panxuan, we can communicate frequently." Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a good idea, "Uncle Panxuan, I will give you a task."

As soon as he heard that there was a mission, Zhu Panxuan's eyes suddenly brightened, "What mission?"

"When you go to Nanchang, you must eat all the delicious food in Nanchang, and then send it to me. If you can't send it, write down the recipe and I will let the royal chef in the palace make it."

"Okay, I went to Nanchang, and I must eat all the delicious food in Nanchang."

"There are still interesting things, and send them to me when the time comes."

"no problem."

"Remember to go to teahouses to listen to books more, and write to me when you hear good or funny stories."

"Okay, I listen to it every day."

With the task assigned by Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Panxuan was not so repulsive about going to Nanchang.

After drinking tea and snacks, Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Panxuan to explore the palace.

When they were in King Yan's Mansion in Beiping, the two of them went to every place in King Yan's Mansion.Now in the palace, it is natural to search every place in the palace.

With Chen Wu and the others leading the way, Zhu Zhanji and the others don't have to worry about getting lost.However, even without Chen Wu and the others leading the way, Zhu Zhanji and the others would not get lost.

Zhu Zhanji's little head is very clever, he can remember the road very clearly after walking once.However, Zhu Panxuan's head is not very smart, and he can't remember the way. Without Zhu Zhanji, he will definitely get lost and can't get out.

After walking for a while, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Panxuan became dishonest and climbed up the fence and onto the roof.

The two sat side by side on the roof, looking into the distance.

Chen Wu and Wang Zhong stood under the fence, looking up at them from time to time, worried that they might run off the roof.

"Zhanji, the houses in Nanjing are densely packed together."

"It's quite crowded." It seems that Nanjing is not as big as Peking University.

"Zhan Ji, can we still go to Peiping in the future?" After staying in Peiping for a few months, Zhu Panxuan completely liked Beiping Mansion.

"You should still be able to go." Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and patted Zhu Panxuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I can't go now, but when I grow up, I will take you there."

"it is good."

After the two sat on the roof and enjoyed the scenery of Nanjing City, they climbed down.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji landed smoothly and without injury, Chen Wu and Wang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

If His Highness were injured before the enthronement ceremony, the Emperor would never spare them.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the sun in the sky, and said to Zhu Panxuan, "It's time to go back and practice calligraphy."

Zhu Panxuan nodded obediently: "Then go back."

The two bounced back to Kunning Palace.

Empress Xu was busy looking at the portraits of draftees.After Zhu Di's enthronement ceremony and her conferment ceremony are over, the draft will officially begin.However, before the official start, Empress Xu has to look at the portraits first, and then eliminate a group of people from them, similar to auditions.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Panxuan accompanied Empress Xu to look at the portrait for a while and felt bored, so they went to the study to study and practice calligraphy.

Heiyu lay beside Zhu Zhanji, reading and writing obediently with the little master.

Zhu Panxuan didn't like reading before, but since Zhu Zhanji stayed together, he also liked reading.

After Zhu Zhanji finished reading the book and practiced calligraphy, he picked up the brush to paint black jade.

In the dream, there was Zhu Biao teaching Zhu Zhanji Danqing.Outside the dream, there is a painter named Zhu Zhanji in the palace.

Zhu Zhanji's painting has improved a lot.Now he has formed a habit every day, that is to draw a picture of Hei Yu every day, and record the process of Hei Yu's growth.

After finishing painting the black jade, a picture flashed in Zhu Zhanji's mind, like a comic book.

Yes, he can draw what happens every day.

With an idea in mind, Zhu Zhanji drew what he did today in the form of a comic book.

Zhu Panxuan stayed in Kunning Palace for a while, and then returned to Prince Ning's Mansion.

Zhu Di will come to Kunning Palace for dinner.

Since Empress Xu returned to the palace, Zhu Di would come to Kunning Palace to have dinner with her every night.

Sometimes, Empress Xu would go to the small kitchen to cook a few dishes in person.

Although Zhu Zhanji has long been able to eat by himself, Zhu Di puts vegetables into his mouth from time to time.

Zhu Zhanji was also happy to be fed by his grandfather.

"Queen, the ministers suggest that I should not let Gao Xu participate in my enthronement ceremony."

The movements of Empress Xu's hands paused, and then she asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

"It's not because of what happened in the Han Palace a few days ago." Zhu Diman said helplessly, "This incident has caused a lot of trouble, and everyone in Nanjing is saying that Gao Xu's virtue is not good. Yang Shiqi and the others are worried that Gao Xu will appear in our office What kind of trouble will be caused at the enthronement ceremony."

Zhu Zhanji nodded to his husband in his heart while bowing his head to pick up the rice.

Not allowing the second uncle to participate in the grandpa's enthronement ceremony is more uncomfortable for the second uncle than killing him.

After listening to Zhu Di's words, Empress Xu was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, what the ministers said is not unreasonable."

"I also think what they said is right, but Gao Xu is my own son after all, if he is not allowed to participate in the enthronement ceremony, I'm afraid it will hurt his heart."

Empress Xu thought for a while and said, "Gao Xu has been restless for the past few days, Your Majesty, why don't you order him to rest at home now."

Zhu Di understood Empress Xu's meaning, sighed softly and said, "That's the only way to do it." After speaking, he asked Ma Sanbao to pass on the oral order.Of course, Ma Sanbao was also asked to bring some supplements to Hanwang Mansion.

In the past few days, Zhu Gaoxu has been pointed out whenever he went out, and now Zhu Di asked him to rest at home, which was just in line with his wishes.

When Zhu Gaosui went to visit Zhu Gaoxu, his second brother was sitting in the gazebo drinking alone.

"Second brother, drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health." Zhu Gaosui was not in the city of Nanjing when something happened in the palace of the Han Dynasty that day, but he took Princess Zhao to live in Zhuangzi for a few days.

In those few days, the city of Nanjing was very hot, Princess Zhao felt uncomfortable and bored, coupled with her poor appetite, King Zhao took her out for a walk.

"Now when everyone sees me, they avoid me like a snake and a scorpion. It's better for you to come to my house directly, and you won't be afraid of getting bad luck."

"Second brother, you and I are brothers." Zhu Gaosui sat down opposite Zhu Gaoxu, picked up a jug of wine and drank it, and then said, "Besides, isn't the matter already over?"

"Third, if you sympathize with me, I won't accept it." He, Zhu Gaoxu, doesn't need to be sympathized with by others.

"Second brother, why do you want me to take pity on you?"

The brothers raised the jug and touched it.

"Second brother, the current situation is not good for you. It is inconvenient for you to stay in the capital." Zhu Gaosui persuaded, "After the emperor's enthronement ceremony is over, second brother, please resign and return to Yunnan. After a few years, the capital's If you forget what happened in Han Palace that day, come back again."

Zhu Gaoxu also knew in his heart that it was not suitable for him to stay in Nanjing now, otherwise the people in the capital would always remember what happened in the Han Palace that day.

"I have this plan." If he continues to stay in Nanjing, it will be very bad for him.

"It turns out that the second brother also has an idea, and I was worried that you would not want to leave Nanjing."

Zhu Gaoxu glared at Zhu Gaosui, and said angrily, "I'm not a fool."

"Second brother, of course you are not a fool."

"I'm not in Nanjing, you have to keep an eye on the boss."

"Second brother, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on the eldest brother."

"Let the boss be happy for two years first, and when I return to Nanjing again, his good life will come to an end." Zhu Gaoxu originally didn't want to leave Nanjing, but he had to leave at this time, and he was so aggrieved when he left, which made him I was very upset.

"Second brother, when you arrive in Yunnan, you must manage well."

"It's natural."

Zhu Gaosui knew that Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to mention his son, so he didn't mention a word from the beginning to the end, so he told Zhu Gaoxu about Yunnan.

Zhu Gaosui returned to King Zhao's Mansion after having dinner at the Mansion of King Han.

Princess Zhao was very dissatisfied with Zhu Gaosui's going to find Zhu Gaoxu.Like everyone else, she disliked Zhu Gaoxu's ominousness, and worried that Zhu Gaojiu would be contaminated if he got too close to Zhu Gaoxu.

"My lord, you don't care about what happened in the Han Palace that day, but you also have to think about the child in my belly." Princess Zhao was very angry, "You went to the Han Palace and came back with bad luck, if you hurt my belly child, what should I do?"

Zhu Gaosui didn't want to go to Hanwang Mansion either, but he couldn't part ways with his second brother now.

"What do you know."

"My lord, if you want the same disaster to happen in Zhao Wang's mansion and Han Wang's mansion, and if you want me to give birth to an ominous thing like my second sister-in-law, you should go to the second brother every day."

This sentence frightened Zhu Gaosui, he didn't want what happened in the Han Palace that day to be staged in the Zhao Palace.

"Okay, I won't go in the future."

Hearing what Zhu Gaosui said, Princess Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "My lord, hurry up and get rid of the bad luck."

Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to listen to Princess Zhao's words to get rid of the bad luck.

Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaoxu to rest at home, and Zhu Gaoxu drank at home every day and got himself drunk.As for Wei Shi and his newborn son in the backyard, he didn't even look at them.To be precise, naturally after that day, he never stepped into Webster's yard again.

Ever since Webster knew what happened that day, he was in tears all day long, his eyes were almost blind from crying, and he lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, the nuns and maids around her were loyal, and they were not too frightened to approach her because Wei Shi gave birth to the ominous little Highness.

The meticulous care of the nanny and the maids made the little Highness get better day by day.

A few days ago, Zhu Gaoxu sent someone to inform Webster that he would not let their son go to Yudie, and would send him to Zhuangzi after his full moon.

"Princess, you can't cry anymore." Mammy said very distressed, "Your eyes can't cry anymore... You don't think about yourself, your little Highness, you can't cry anymore."

"Yes, Wangfei, if you hurt your eyes from crying, how will you take care of your Highness in the future?"

Webster raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said with a choked voice: "You are right, it's just...I...you say why God treats me and my child like this."

The nanny and the maids didn't know how to answer her question.

"Princess, you still want to think about what to do in the future?" Mammy said, "I heard that after the emperor's enthronement ceremony is over, the prince will go to Yunnan. I wonder if he will bring His Royal Highness with him?"

"He won't take our mother and child with him." Webster smiled sadly, "Our mother and child are an ominous thing to him."

"Then... Princess, what will happen to you and your Highness in the future?"

"The child is the flesh that falls from me, and I will not leave him alone. After the full moon, I will take him to Zhuangzi, and in the future we, mother and child, will live together." Webster was very ambitious before and wanted to be a queen, but The birth of her son shattered all her dreams.Now she just wants to raise her son. "Although he can't go to Yudie, he is of royal blood after all. The queen mother will never let our mother and son starve to death."

"Princess, you have been wronged by this." The mother and maids felt wronged for Wei Shi.

Wei Shi laughed at himself: "This is my fate." After finishing speaking, she said, "After the full moon, I want to go to the palace and then make peace with the prince."

"Harmony?"

"I will not occupy the position of Princess Han." During this period of time, Webster thought a lot, thinking of many ways out for her and her son. "After the divorce, the child and I have nothing to do with the prince, so the prince doesn't have to be troubled by our mother and child."

"Princess, at this time, you are still thinking about the prince, and the prince..."

"My lord didn't feel sorry for me. He has been treating me very well all these years. This time, I hurt him."

"princess……"

"Bring a pen and paper. I'll write a letter to the queen and ask her for an amulet." Webster smiled slightly, "The amulet made of Zhanji's lanugo can save life and bring good luck. I hope the child If you can be more blessed by Zhanji, then he can grow up in peace and health."

"That day was also thanks to His Royal Highness, otherwise His Royal Highness would have..." Momo witnessed what happened that day with her own eyes.

"Yes, thanks to Zhanji." Webster ordered, "Go to my warehouse and pick some golden beans and jewels, and send them to the palace with the letter tomorrow."

"Yes, princess."

Early the next morning, Nanny went to the palace with the palace card of Princess Han.

Empress Xu saw that Wei Shi sent the nanny next to her into the palace, and thought that something had happened, so she hurriedly called her in.

The nanny first bowed to Empress Xu politely, and then handed the letter and gift written by Webster to Bai Hua.

Bai Hua first took the letter to Empress Xu.

Empress Xu felt very uncomfortable after reading the letter.

"She hasn't had a good time."

"Empress, the princess..." The nanny told Empress Xu about the fact that Webster washed his face with tears every day.

After Empress Xu finished listening, she said softly, "Let her rest well, after all, the child still needs her mother to take care of her."

"Empress, with your words, the princess will definitely rest well."

"Go and call Zhanji."

"Yes." Bai Hua went to the study and invited Zhu Zhanji to the main hall.

Zhu Zhanji first bowed to Empress Xu, and then looked suspiciously at the nanny standing aside: "Aren't you the nanny next to Second Aunt?"

"Your Highness, this servant is right."

"Zhanji, your second aunt would like to ask you to give your cousin a baby name."

Zhu Zhanji pointed at himself, and asked in disbelief: "Let me take the baby name, shouldn't the second aunt take the baby name by themselves?"

"Your second aunt wants you to take it."

"Because I'm Xiangrui?"

Empress Xu nodded lightly: "Yes."

"Okay, what kind of baby name does Second Aunt want me to have?"

"Your second aunt hopes that your cousin can grow up safe and healthy."

"Then call it Ping An." Since it's a baby name, it doesn't hurt to be casual.

"Okay, then call it Ping'an." Empress Xu said to the nanny next to Webster, "The name is Wei An."

"Thank you empress, thank you Your Highness for giving me the name."

Zhu Zhanji asked strangely: "Why is it called Wei An instead of Zhu An?"

"Your second uncle doesn't want to recognize your cousin, so he can only take your second aunt's surname."

"There's nothing wrong with having my second aunt's last name."

"Zhanji, your second aunt gave you a lot of golden beans and jewels, and it's reciprocal. Shouldn't you give me something safe?"

"Okay, then what can I do to give you peace?"

"Give him the jade pendant you once wore." Empress Xu said softly, "Let Ping An touch your blessing."

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, without any hesitation, he immediately tore off the jade pendant on his waist, and handed it to the nurse beside him.

"This is the jade pendant that the imperial grandmother ordered someone to make for me. Although it does not have my name on it, there is a longevity peach engraved on it, which symbolizes longevity. I am giving it to Ping'an cousin, hoping that he can grow up healthy and safe."

Mammy expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

"In the future, I will often go to Zhuangzi to visit Ping'an's cousin."

When Mammy heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, then her eyes turned red, and her voice was choked up: "Thank you, Your Highness..." In the future, His Highness will often visit his wife and the young master, and the life of the young master and the others will be much easier.

Empress Xu said some words of concern again, and then she let Mammy leave.

Before the nanny left, Empress Xu rewarded Webster with many things.

Webster knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace with tears in his eyes.She used to think that her mother was partial to her sister-in-law and didn't like herself, but she didn't expect that now it was her turn to be loved by her mother.

She is also grateful to Zhu Zhanji in her heart.

Zhang Mingzhen learned that Empress Xu had rewarded Webster with a lot of things, and also sent people to send a lot of supplements and medicinal materials, as well as the clothes and shoes that Zhu Zhanji wore when he was a child.

Zhu Zhanji's childhood clothes are more precious to Webster, and she immediately changed them for her son.

She believes that her son will become blessed if he wears Zhu Zhanji's childhood clothes and Zhu Zhanji's jade pendant.

Webster and Ping An, except for Empress Xu, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhang Mingzhen, are concerned, and others don't care.

However, in the next few days, Empress Xu and Zhu Zhanji have no time to care about the mother and son Wei, because Zhu Di's enthronement ceremony is coming.
