The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

"What's delicious to eat tonight?" Zhu Zhanji ran to the dining table and saw that the beef pot was eaten tonight, his face suddenly lit up, and cheered, "My favorite beef pot .”

Zhu Di looked at the greedy grandson with a funny face, "You little greedy cat, what is there that you don't like to eat?"

"Grandpa, I don't eat too many things." Zhu Zhanji sat down at the dining table obediently, and counted on his fingers, "I don't like chicken skin, fat meat, and egg yolk..." He has a big mouth, but he doesn't like to eat everything.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard his precious grandson talk about the things he didn't like to eat, and said in surprise: "Zhan Ji, there are so many things you don't like to eat, this is not okay, children should not be picky eaters."

"Grandpa Huang, is there anything you don't like to eat?" Zhu Zhanji curled his lips and said, "Grandpa Huang, you don't like fatty meat, you don't like eggs, so you are also picky eaters."

"I……"

As soon as Zhu Di opened his mouth, Zhu Zhanji interrupted him: "Grandpa Huang, don't say that you are not a picky eater if you don't like food."

Zhu Di who was just about to say this: "..."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Di, and hummed, "Grandpa, don't be fooled just because I'm a child."

Zhu Di coughed lightly and said, "Grandpa Huang knows you are smart, so it's not easy to lie."

"I'm smart." Zhu Zhanji grinned at Zhu Di, "It's not that easy to lie to me."

Empress Xu smelled the aroma of the vegetables and felt a churn in her stomach, which made her want to vomit.

Zhu Zhanji noticed Empress Xu's strangeness, and asked with concern: "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Di looked towards Empress Xu, and seeing Empress Xu frowning slightly, her face was a bit unsightly, and hurriedly asked: "Empress, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?"

Empress Xu smiled reassuringly at Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji: "It's okay, I guess I used too much lunch, so I don't have an appetite now."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "The imperial grandmother did eat a lot at noon." At noon today, the imperial grandmother ate two more bowls of rice than usual, and there was still a lot of meat.

Hearing what Empress Xu said, Zhu Di was relieved: "I don't have much appetite, but you have to eat a little, or you will be hungry at night."

"Grandmother, you should eat something." Zhu Zhanji put a piece of cooked beef into Empress Xu's bowl.

Empress Xu smelled the aroma of beef, and her stomach churned so badly that she couldn't help retching: "Evil..."

"Queen!"

"Grandma!"

Bai Hua quickly brought a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea first."

After Empress Xu took a few sips of tea, the nausea in her stomach got better.

Zhu Di instructed Ma Sanbao: "Go and call the imperial physician."

"Your Majesty, I'm fine."

"Queen, let the imperial physician feel the pulse."

Zhu Zhanji said from the side: "Grandmother, you may have indigestion, let the imperial doctor see it, and then prescribe you medicine for digestion." The grandmother always told him not to eat too much, but she ate too much herself.

Empress Xu also thought it was indigestion, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

After a while, Ma Sanbao came with the imperial physician.

The imperial physician saluted Zhu Di and Empress Xu first, and then felt the pulse of Empress Xu.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji sat aside, and when the imperial physician took the pulse of Empress Xu, their brows suddenly frowned, and then a puzzled look appeared on their faces.

"Doctor, what's wrong with the Queen?"

"Doctor, what happened to the imperial grandmother?"

What's the matter with this imperial doctor, so many dramas about his pulse, he was puzzled for a while, and surprised for a while.

The imperial physician bowed to Zhu Di, and said with some fear, "Your Majesty, please allow me to take the empress's pulse carefully."

Zhu Di's heart sank slightly when he heard this, and worry appeared in his eyes: "You take the queen's pulse carefully."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help worrying that the emperor's grandmother was not sick.

Empress Xu's heart was raised unconsciously, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face.

The imperial physician took the pulse of Empress Xu carefully.The queen's veins sometimes disappear.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji didn't speak any more, they waited worriedly for the imperial doctor to take a good pulse.

The imperial physician took another full moment of pulse, and then he knelt down towards Zhu Di: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the empress is happy."

"what?"

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji stood up suddenly, and the grandpa and grandson yelled out in unison.

Empress Xu sat on the chair blankly, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has been pregnant for more than a month." The reason why the imperial physician took the pulse for so long was because Empress Xu's pulse did not show.The imperial doctor was afraid that he would take the wrong pulse, so he confirmed it again and again.

"That's great, hahahahahaha..." Zhu Di laughed loudly.

Zhu Zhanji cheered in surprise: "I'm going to have a little aunt."

Bai Hua and Ma Sanbao knelt down immediately: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress."

Zhu Di laughed loudly and said, "Rewards, rewards, rewards are available throughout the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di stretched out his hand to hold Empress Xu's hands, and said excitedly, "Empress, we have another child." This child was his first child after ascending the throne.

Empress Xu had an unbelievable expression on her face: "Your Majesty, am I really pregnant?"

"Really, we have another child." Zhu Di was full of joy, "Queen, we have another child."

Empress Xu laughed: "We have another child..." Smiling, her eyes were red.

Zhu Zhanji didn't bother Zhu Di and Empress Xu, he grabbed the imperial physician and asked, "Emperor physician, how is the emperor's grandmother, is there anything that needs attention?" Although it is a happy thing that the emperor's grandmother is pregnant , but the emperor's grandmother is not young, and she must have worked harder than her mother to conceive a child.

"If you go back to Your Highness, there is nothing serious about the empress's body, but she needs to rest well."

"Anything to watch out for?"

"The empress needs a good rest..." The imperial physician told Zhu Zhanji in great detail the things that need to be paid attention to.

Zhu Zhanji wrote it all down, and then asked: "Is there anything the emperor needs to make up?"

"The empress's body needs nourishment..." The imperial physician carefully told Zhu Zhanji what Empress Xu needed to nourish.

Zhu Zhanji wrote it down again: "Is there anything else that needs attention?"

"Your Highness, there are no more for the time being."

"Go down and get a prescription."

"Yes, Your Highness." The imperial physician retreated respectfully.

At this moment, Zhu Di and Empress Xu regained their composure a little.

"Zhanji, what did the imperial physician say?"

"Grandpa, the imperial physician said that the imperial grandmother needs to take a good rest and take care of her baby..." Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Di and Empress Xu verbatim what the imperial physician had just said to him.

"Queen, you can't be tired now, let other people handle the affairs of the harem."

Empress Xu also knew that her birth was hard-won, and she didn't want anything to happen.

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to handle the affairs of the harem."

"Queen, you must take good care of your baby and don't get tired." Zhu Di also understood that it would be a very difficult task to conceive again at Queen Xu's current age. If you don't pay attention, something will happen to Queen Xu.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take good care of the baby and never let myself be tired." Empress Xu didn't expect that she would be pregnant again.Many years ago, when she gave birth to her fourth child, she had a dystocia, and her body was injured at that time. The doctor said that it was difficult for her to get pregnant.At that point, she accepted that she could no longer conceive.Unexpectedly, after many years, she would be pregnant again.Is this a gift from God to her?

Zhu Zhanji walked up to Empress Xu and said with a smile: "Grandmother, I said you can give me a little aunt."

Zhu Di reached out and hugged Zhu Zhanji into his arms, lowered his head and kissed his grandson's face fiercely a few times: "Zhanji, you are really the lucky star of Grandpa Huang."

Empress Xu said with a smile on her face: "We, Zhanji, are right." Maybe Zhanji brought this child.

"Grandmother, you will definitely give birth to my little aunt." Zhu Zhanji said very firmly, "You and grandpa will have a little princess.

"

"Queen, I also hope to be a daughter." Zhu Di said with a very gentle expression, "We have three sons and no daughter yet. This time you will definitely give birth to a princess for me."

Empress Xu smiled softly, "I also want to give birth to a daughter for Your Majesty."

"Grandfather and Grandmother, don't worry, it must be your daughter." Zhu Zhanji said firmly, "I said it was aunt, it must be aunt."

Zhu Di rubbed his precious grandson's little face: "Zhanji said it was my aunt, so it must be my aunt."

"That's right, I'm right." Zhu Zhanji didn't know where his confidence came from.

"Okay, the emperor's grandmother believes in you."

"The emperor's grandmother is also pregnant with my aunt, that's double happiness." Zhu Zhanji smiled very happily, "I have a younger sister and an aunt. It's really great."

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's joyful appearance, Zhu Di and Empress Xu also laughed.

"Zhanji, if your grandma really gave birth to an aunt for you, grandpa will reward you."

"Really?" Zhu Zhanji's eyes instantly became very bright.

Zhu Di lightly pinched Zhu Zhanji's chubby face, and said dotingly, "When did Grandpa Huang ever lie to you?"

"Then grandpa, you have rewarded me."

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's confident look, Zhu Di couldn't help but want to tease him: "If your grandma gave birth to a little uncle, then you have to give the grandpa golden beans."

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he said with a straight face: "Grandpa Huang, you can't get my golden beans." It's not that simple to want his golden beans.

"Grandfather is waiting."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji's stomach growled.

Hearing the cry of Zhu Zhanji's stomach, Zhu Di and Empress Xu were startled for a while, and then they laughed lightly.

Zhu Zhanji clutched his stomach, and said with an aggrieved face, "I'm hungry." He didn't eat a bite for dinner.

Empress Xu reached out and touched Zhu Zhanji's small face, and said warmly: "It's the emperor's grandmother who made Zhanji hungry."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Let's go, let's have dinner." After speaking, he instructed Bai Hua, "Prepare dinner for the queen again."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Queen, don't follow us to the dining hall for dinner." Zhu Di thought of Empress Xu's disgusting appearance in the dining hall just now, and couldn't bear the heart of Empress Xu to go to the dining hall for dinner with them. "You can have dinner in the side hall."

"Okay, I won't go to the dining room with you guys." When Empress Xu thought of the smell of beef in the dining room just now, her stomach churned again, and she almost vomited out.

"Grandpa Huang, let's go eat quickly, I'm starving to death." Zhu Zhanji said, clutching his stomach in hunger.

"Grandpa Huang will take you to the dining room for dinner."

Zhu Zhanji was so hungry that when he arrived at the dining hall, he ate eagerly.Because I ate too fast, I choked myself.

Seeing this, Zhu Di quickly fed him soup.

After taking a few mouthfuls of soup, he finally swallowed the meal that was choked in his chest.

Zhu Di raised his hand and tapped Zhu Zhanji's little head, "Eat slowly."

"I see, Grandpa Huang." He really choked to death just now.

"Drink some more soup." Zhu Di fed Zhu Zhanji a few more sips of soup, "Zhanji, your imperial grandmother is pregnant now, you can't make your imperial grandmother tired."

"Grandpa, when have I ever made Grandma so tired?" Zhu Zhanji cast a sideways glance at Zhu Di and said, "Grandpa, it's you, don't tire Grandma."

"Then you have to take good care of your imperial grandmother, you know?" Zhu Di was very busy on weekdays, and it was impossible for him to be by Empress Xu's side all the time.

"Grandpa Huang, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Grandma Huang."

Zhu Di knew that Zhu Zhanji had always been careful, and he was relieved to have him accompany Empress Xu on weekdays.

"By the way, you still have to make your grandma happy, you know?"

"Grandfather, I am the best at making Grandmother happy." He will definitely make Grandmother happy every day. "Grandpa Huang, you have to make Grandmother happy, and you have to care about Grandmother every day..."

Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Di again what he said to Zhu Gaochi before, and asked Zhu Di to accompany Empress Xu to eat and chat every day.

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Di said dumbfoundedly: "Didn't you tell your father this before?"

"Now tell Grandpa Huang that Grandmother is pregnant after all." Zhu Zhanji stared straight at Zhu Di with a very stern expression, "Grandpa, if you upset Grandmother or bully Grandmother, I can……"

Zhu Di jokingly asked, "What will happen to you?"

Zhu Zhanji said ferociously: "I don't want you as a grandpa."

Zhu Di suppressed a smile and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Huang won't bully your grandmother." It was too late for him to feel sorry for the queen.

Zhu Zhanji smiled sweetly at Zhu Di: "I also think that Grandpa Huang will not bully Grandma Huang."

Zhu Di picked up a piece of beef and fed it into Zhu Zhanji's small mouth, deliberately jokingly said: "With you here, how dare I bully your grandmother."

"Grandpa Huang, it's good that you know." Zhu Zhanji suddenly thought of something, raised his head and looked at Zhu Di, "Grandpa Huang, Grandmother Huang is pregnant, shall we go to Beijing next year?"

Zhu Di who asked this question was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Do you want to stay and take care of your imperial grandmother?"

"Grandpa Huang, so we will go to Beijing next year?"

"The plan to go to Beijing next year remains unchanged." Zhu Di will not change his plan to go to Beijing just because Empress Xu is pregnant. "Zhanji, do you want to stay and take care of your imperial grandmother?"

"The imperial grandma doesn't need me to take care of her. I will go to Beijing with the imperial grandpa."

"Then you will go to Beijing with Grandpa Huang next year."

Grandpa Huang's plan to go to Beijing will not be changed by anything.From this point of view, Grandpa Huang is very worried about Bei Yuan's power.

The mother and the emperor's grandmother are both pregnant, and will give birth to a younger sister and aunt next year, but it is a pity that he will not be in Nanjing next year.

After the grandparents finished their dinner, they went to the side hall to look for Empress Xu.

Empress Xu just finished eating.

Zhu Di asked with concern: "Queen, how do you feel, do you still want to vomit?"

"Grandmother, how much did you eat?"

"Don't worry, I just ate something." Empress Xu smiled slightly, "I didn't feel sick either."

After hearing this, Zhu Di felt relieved a lot: "That's good."

Seeing that Zhu Di and Empress Xu had something to say, Zhu Zhanji retreated with discernment and returned to his room.

Chen Wu saw that Zhu Zhanji flipped through the books as soon as he returned to his room, and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, what are you looking for, can this servant find it for you?"

"What about the Book of Songs?"

Chen Wu walked to a bookcase, took out a book from it and handed it to Zhu Zhanji.

"Your Highness, the Book of Songs."

Zhu Zhanji took the "Book of Songs" and flipped through a few pages at random.

"Your Highness, what are you doing reading The Book of Songs?" He remembered that His Highness hadn't started studying The Book of Songs yet.

"I want to choose baby names for my sister and aunt." Zhu Zhanji said while flipping through the "Book of Songs", "I will definitely not be able to choose the names of my sister and aunt, but I can help them choose baby names."

Chen Wu hesitated for a while and said, "Your Highness, the princess was born as your aunt. According to the rules, you are not allowed to give your elders a baby name."

"Really?" Zhu Zhanji smiled indifferently immediately, "I will let the emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother agree that I can give my little aunt a baby name."

"Your Highness, if you ask the emperor, the emperor will definitely agree."

"Chen Wu, my little aunt is really good at taking advantage."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"You see she hasn't been born yet, she is my little aunt."

"Your Highness, although the princess is younger than you, she is older than you."

"So the little aunt will take advantage." Thinking of having a little aunt who is a few years younger than him in the future, Zhu Zhanji was both happy and worried.What worries him is that his little aunt will use her seniority to oppress him in the future. "I hope little aunt will be a well-behaved girl in the future."

"The princess must be very well-behaved."

"I hope." Zhu Zhanji wrote down the name he thought was nice while flipping through the "Book of Songs".

That night, Zhu Zhanji didn't read books or practice calligraphy. He just focused on naming his sister and aunt.

If Chen Wu hadn't repeatedly urged him to rest, I'm afraid he would have continued to write.

After Zhu Zhanji fell asleep, Chen Wu sorted out the paper on which he had just written his name, and found that Zhu Zhanji had written more than a dozen sheets.Every sheet of paper is filled with names.

"His Royal Highness is full of expectations for the birth of the princess and the princess." However, if the empress and the princess don't give birth to the princess and the princess, His Highness will be very sad.

In his sleep, Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, and couldn't wait to tell them the good news that Queen Xu was pregnant.

Knowing that Empress Xu was pregnant, Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang were very happy.

Empress Ma and the others are very fond of and satisfied with the daughter-in-law of Empress Xu.

Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes are not glasses to Zhu Di, and his nose is not a nose, but he clearly showed his liking for Empress Xu, his daughter-in-law.

Empress Ma and Xu Da couldn't help worrying about Empress Xu, after all, Empress Xu was not young.

Zhu Zhanji told Queen Ma and the others that he and Grandpa Huang would take good care of Queen Xu.

Zhu Biao asked, "Zhanji, did you set up a stall today?"

"Grandpa, I went, and I made two hundred coins..." Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Biao what happened at the stall today and what he heard.

After Zhu Biao and the others heard this, their complexions instantly became very ugly.

"Great-grandfather, I just said that the bad guy Uncle Yunwen is not suitable to be an emperor, and you still don't admit it." The bad guy Uncle Yunwen has been emperor for a few years and has done some good things, but there are more bad things than good things. "I'm afraid that the villain Uncle Yunwen didn't know about the refugees from the beginning to the end."

Empress Ma sighed slightly and said, "That kid Yun Wen's temperament is indeed not suitable for being an emperor."

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly asked, "Zhanji, where did those refugees go?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know yet, Grandpa Huang has sent someone to investigate."

Zhu Biao said solemnly: "Zhan Ji, the refugee issue is no small matter, you must pay attention to it."

"Grandpa, don't worry, Grandpa Huang will take it very seriously."

"Find it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be trouble." Zhu Biao frowned again when he thought of what Zhu Zhanji said about the White Lotus Sect before, "Zhanji, I'm worried about another thing now."

Seeing that Zhu Biao's expression suddenly became so heavy, Zhu Zhanji's heart shuddered, and his expression became heavy without realizing it: "Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Zhu Biao didn't answer, but instead asked Zhu Zhanji: "If your grandpa didn't find those refugees, where do you think those refugees would go?"

"Can't find those refugees?" Zhu Zhanji felt that this was impossible, "It is impossible to find so many hooligans, unless they are all killed. Even if they are all killed, they will leave traces. It's impossible for anyone not to notice."

"What if you can't find it?"

"Really can't find it?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and thought about it. After a while, he suddenly thought of the assassin he met in Fengyang before. He exclaimed, "White Lotus Sect?!"

"As far as I know, the White Lotus Sect likes to confuse ordinary people. If these refugees can't find them, they are likely to be robbed by the White Lotus Sect." When Zhu Biao was alive, he had dealt with the affairs of the White Lotus Sect. very understanding. "The members of the White Lotus Sect are all lunatics."

"If this is the case, it would be terrible." Zhu Zhanji said, "Grandpa, the emperor sent someone to secretly investigate the White Lotus Sect. If those refugees were really taken away by the White Lotus Sect, the people sent by the emperor Will definitely know."

"The White Lotus Sect has to guard against it."

When mentioning the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Yuanzhang looked disgusted: "How can this group of lunatics not be able to kill them all?"

"Actually, there is a good way to really curb the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect."

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly asked: "What way?"

"As long as the common people can eat well and dress warmly, they will not be bewitched by the White Lotus Sect." Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Zhanji, this is the task of your grandpa, you, and your father." .”

"Grandpa, I understand." Grandpa was right, as long as the common people live a good life, they will not be tricked into rebellion.

Zhu Biao didn't talk about it anymore, and began to teach Zhu Zhanji how to read.

After Zhu Zhanji finished reading the book with Zhu Biao, Empress Ma pulled him aside and explained some things to him in great detail.

Empress Ma was worried about the hardship and danger of her daughter-in-law's pregnancy, so she told Zhu Zhanji some local methods, just in case.

Before Zhu Zhanji went to sleep, he suddenly thought of a question. He remembered that his grandmother died of illness in Yongle five years ago, which means that his grandmother would die of illness in four years.
