The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

The day before the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Di looked calm on the surface, but was actually very nervous inside.

More than a month ago, he had already ascended the throne and been the emperor for more than a month, but facing the upcoming enthronement ceremony, he still couldn't restrain his nervousness.

Although the enthronement and enthronement ceremonies are the same in nature, they are both being emperors.But in form it is different.Ascending the throne is to announce to the world that Zhu Di has become the emperor.The enthronement ceremony is to report to heaven and the ancestors that Zhu Di will be the emperor.

Reporting to the heavens and the ancestors, Zhu Di was a little afraid and guilty.Although he has always thought that he is the real dragon emperor, but he did not succeed to the throne justifiably, but he sent troops to snatch it by himself, and it was his nephew's throne that he snatched.So far, Zhu Di is still guilty deep in his heart.

Zhu Di learned from Zhu Zhanji that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had neither said good nor bad about his ascension to the throne, which made him feel relieved and at the same time a little disappointed.He didn't know what would happen when the ancestors were sacrificed at the enthronement ceremony.

Also, Zhu Di knows in his heart that the real dragons that have appeared so far are not because of him, but because of his grandson Zhu Zhanji.Although Jin Zhong said he was a real dragon, he didn't let the real dragon appear, which also made him a little uneasy.

Although Zhu Zhanji participated in the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Di could not guarantee that his precious grandson could make the real dragon appear.If the real dragon does not appear in tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, the people and ministers all over the world will question him as the real dragon emperor.

"Ugh……"

Hearing Zhu Di's sigh again and again, Ma Sanbao hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"I am..." Zhu Di hesitated and said, "I am worried about tomorrow's enthronement ceremony."

"What is Your Majesty worried about?"

"I'm worried that something bad will happen."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, your enthronement ceremony has been in preparation for more than a month, and the Ministry of Rites has already arranged it properly, and there will never be any mistakes." Ma Sanbao did not expect that His Majesty would be worried about tomorrow's enthronement ceremony.

Hearing what Ma Sanbao said, Zhu Di nodded slightly.In fact, this was not what he was worried about, but he couldn't tell Ma Sanbao either.

"Where's Zhanji?"

Ma Sanbao thought for a while and said, "Your Highness should be in Kunning Palace."

Zhu Di didn't have the heart to review the memorial, so he stood up and said, "Go to Kunning Palace."

"Yes, drive Kunning Palace."

In Kunning Palace, Empress Xu is making moon cakes in the small kitchen.Zhu Zhanji was "playing" with flour by the side, kneading the dough into the shapes of various animals, and then steaming it in a pot.

He squeezed a long snake, and then found two small black things to press on the snake's head to make the snake's eyes.

"Grandmother, do you think I look like a snake?"

"It's really like it."

"Hey hey..." Zhu Zhanji smiled very proudly, and then he drew scales on the "snake" with chopsticks.

When Zhu Di came, he learned that their grandfather and grandson were busy in the kitchen, so he walked over curiously to have a look.

"What are you busy with?"

Seeing Zhu Di coming, Empress Xu and Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandma Huang and I are making mooncakes."

"Making mooncakes? Are you making mooncakes?" Zhu Di looked at the "snakes" on the table.

"Grandpa Huang, I make animal steamed buns here, and Grandma Huang makes moon cakes." Zhu Zhanji said and started making bunnies again.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace..."

Zhu Di stopped Empress Xu and said, "I will do it with you."

Bai Hua hurriedly brought a basin of water and asked Zhu Di to wash his hands.

After Zhu Di washed his hands, he stood with Queen Xu and imitated Queen Xu's movements to make moon cakes.

When Empress Xu saw that Zhu Di wanted to make mooncakes, she didn't dislike him for being clumsy, so she patiently taught him how to make mooncakes.

Zhu Zhanji continued to make his little rabbit, and Hei Yu squatted on a chair beside him, staring curiously at the things in Zhu Zhanji's hand.

Seeing the crooked mooncakes made by Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji sneered unceremoniously: "Hahahaha, grandpa, what you pack here is not mooncakes, but sesame seed cakes?"

"Is there such a small biscuit?"

"Is there such a big moon cake?"

The cakes made by Zhu Di are bigger than mooncakes and smaller than sesame cakes.

"And Grandpa Huang, you are so generous, you put so much stuffing, it feels like the dough is almost unable to cover the stuffing."

"Isn't it good to put more stuffing?" Zhu Di thought that making moon cakes and flat food should put more stuffing, so that it tastes better.

"Of course it's not good. You can't put so much stuffing." Zhu Zhanji scolded his grandpa with a small mouth.

"You think Grandpa Huang's bag is not good, then you should make it." Zhu Di said angrily.

"Just wrap it, I'm sure it's better than you." Zhu Zhanji tilted his grandfather like him, then picked up the dough, skillfully scooped a spoonful of stuffing into the dough, and then easily put the dough Pinch well. "Look, I'm better than you."

Zhu Di was shocked, he didn't expect his precious grandson to actually make mooncakes.

Empress Xu smiled and said: "Zhan Ji is smart, I teach him once, and he will learn."

Zhu Zhanji raised his chin and said triumphantly to Zhu Di, "Grandpa Emperor, you are so stupid that you can't even wrap such a simple mooncake."

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Zhanji: "I don't believe I can't make mooncakes well." After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to look like a big deal.

Zhu Zhanji ignored his grandfather and continued to make his little rabbit well.

Zhu Di failed to pack several bags one after another, which made Zhu Zhanji laugh at him.Zhu Di was so angry that he reached out and rubbed his grandson's face.

Zhu Zhanji's little face was covered in flour by his grandpa, and he immediately fought back, spreading the flour from his hands on Zhu Di's face.

Empress Xu saw that the grandparents and grandsons were about to quarrel again, and she was worried that they would waste flour, so she drove them out.

Zhu Zhanji joked that Zhu Di was a tabby cat.

Zhu Di laughed at him as a little cat.

The grandfather and grandson "argued" at the door of the kitchen. The content of the quarrel was so childish that Empress Xu couldn't bear it anymore.Bai Hua and the others waited aside, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Empress Xu patted the flour in her hands, washed her hands again, and then returned to the side hall with Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di's original nervous mood disappeared immediately after being made such a fuss by his grandson.

"Grandpa Huang, aren't you busy today, why did you come to Kunning Palace at this time?" It was only Si time, and at this time usually, his Grandpa Huang stayed in the imperial study room to review the memorials.

"Why, can't I come to Kunning Palace at this time?"

Zhu Zhanji did not answer Zhu Di's question, but tilted his head and stared straight at his grandfather.

Zhu Di was a little baffled by his precious grandson, "Why are you staring at me like this?"

Zhu Zhanji sat up straight and said: "Today's grandpa is really strange, isn't it, grandma?"

Empress Xu had long seen Zhu Di's strangeness, she nodded slightly: "Yes."

Zhu Di didn't expect to be spotted by Zhu Zhanji and Empress Xu, he was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and said, "It's all right now."

Seeing that Zhu Di didn't want to say more, and seeing that Zhu Di was really fine, Empress Xu didn't ask any more questions.

Zhu Zhanji put down the teacup in his hand and said to Zhu Di and the others: "Grandpa Huang, you and Grandma Huang are chatting slowly, I'm going to read a book." Grandpa Huang should have something to tell Grandma Huang.

"Go."

After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Di looked at Empress Xu and asked, "Empress, do you mean that tomorrow's enthronement ceremony will go smoothly?"

Empress Xu was not surprised to hear Zhu Di's question.She had already guessed that Zhu Di would be worried about tomorrow's enthronement ceremony.

"Your Majesty, it will be very smooth." Empress Xu said very firmly.

Hearing what Empress Xu said, Zhu Di felt more at ease.

"I'm afraid that something will happen at the enthronement ceremony tomorrow."

Empress Xu stretched out both hands to hold Zhu Di's hand, and said in a gentle yet firm tone, "Your Majesty, tomorrow's enthronement ceremony will go very smoothly, so don't worry about it."

Zhu Di held Empress Xu's hands tightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Queen, to tell you the truth, I am very worried about tomorrow's enthronement ceremony."

"It's normal for Your Majesty to be nervous. The day after tomorrow is the concubine's conferment ceremony, and the concubine is also very nervous." Empress Xu joked, "After all, it's our first time."

Zhu Di was amused by Empress Xu's last words: "Hahaha, that's right, it's our first time."

The couple sat on the couch, drinking tea and chatting, the atmosphere was very warm.

In the study, Zhu Zhanji is studying hard.

Heiyu lay beside his hand, listening to his reading, squinting his eyes and nodding his head.

After a while, Zhu Di came in and began to inspect Zhu Zhanji's homework.

Zhu Zhanji was not afraid at all when faced with his grandfather's questioning, and answered confidently, and his words were correct.

Zhu Di praised Zhu Zhanji fiercely, and then told him that Yang Shiqi would teach him to read after the enthronement ceremony was over.

This is good news for Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di accompanied Zhu Zhanji to read the book for a while, and then returned to the imperial study to continue reviewing the memorial.Even if tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Di will not let himself take a rest.

For lunch, Zhu Di didn't come to Kunning Palace, but ate at Qianqing Palace.

After lunch, he didn't rest, and continued to review the memorials, and didn't stop until dinner.

Dinner is served in Kunning Palace.With Zhu Zhanji around, Zhu Di and Empress Xu's appetites will not be bad.

After dinner, Zhu Zhanji took his grandfather in one hand and his grandmother in the other, and walked in the yard to digest food.

After walking back to Kunning Palace, Zhu Di played chess with Empress Xu, and Zhu Zhanji sat at the desk to draw.

When it was Haishi, Zhu Zhanji was about to go back to his bedroom to sleep, but Zhu Di stayed behind.

Zhu Di leaned on the bed, patted his precious grandson on the back, and told Zhu Zhanji a story.

After listening for a while, Zhu Zhanji fell asleep in Zhu Di's arms.

Not long after he fell asleep, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao in his dream.

"Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle Xiongying, good evening."

"Why are you so happy? What good things happened?" Zhu Yuanzhang joked, "Is it silver or gold beans?"

"I also want to pick up silver and gold beans, but unfortunately I don't have such luck." It's strange to say that he has never picked up money.It's not that he is auspicious, why hasn't he picked up any money.

"Then why are you so happy?" Zhu Yuanzhang pinched Zhu Zhanji's chubby face.

"Tomorrow is my grandpa's enthronement ceremony, and this is the first time for me to participate in the enthronement ceremony."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he deliberately put away the smile on his face and said, "What's so happy about this?"

"Great-grandfather, what was your enthronement ceremony like?"

Mentioning this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became proud and proud: "My enthronement ceremony was very grand..."

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang showed off to Zhu Zhanji the grandness of his enthronement ceremony in various ways, which made Zhu Zhanji's blood boil.

When Zhu Yuanzhang finished blowing his enthronement ceremony, Zhu Biao did not take Zhu Zhanji to study, but asked him to go to bed quickly, after all, he would attend the enthronement ceremony tomorrow morning.

The next day, at dawn, Zhu Zhanji was woken up by Zhu Di, dressed in a daze by Zhu Di and the others, and fed breakfast in his sleep.

After breakfast, Zhu Zhanji woke up completely, and followed Zhu Di to sacrifice to heaven and earth.

Today's weather is very good, sunny, cloudless.

Zhu Di led civil and military officials and clansmen to offer sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple.

At this time, Zhu Di stepped onto the altar.

The people in Nanjing City all looked forward to the sky towards the imperial city, waiting for the real dragon to appear.
