The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Zhanji was reading in his own small study.

Chen Wu walked in lightly, first bowed to Zhu Zhanji, and then said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."

Zhu Zhanji put down the book in his hand, stood up, raised his hands, and stretched greatly.

"Let's go."

Empress Xu knew that Zhang Mingzhen came to apologize to Zhu Zhanji, so she didn't say much.

Zhu Zhanji walked in, and first bowed to Empress Xu and Zhang Mingzhen: "I have seen the emperor's grandmother, and I have seen my mother."

Zhang Mingzhen waved to Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanji, come here."

Zhu Zhanji trotted up to Zhang Mingzhen, reached out and touched his mother's belly.

"Mother, is my sister good today?"

Zhang Mingzhen reached out and touched Zhu Zhanji's small face, and said softly, "My sister is very good." After speaking, she gave Xiang Se a look.

Xiang Se took out a bowl of white fungus soup and a few plates of dim sum from the food box: "Your Highness, this is specially ordered by the Crown Princess to make it in the small kitchen of the East Palace. You can try it."

Zhang Mingzhen took the tremella soup and handed it to Zhu Zhanji, and said with a smile: "Zhanji, it's still hot, eat it quickly."

"Okay." Zhu Zhanji took the white fungus soup, scooped up a spoonful and ate it.

Tremella soup is stewed with milk, and there are red dates, lotus seeds, wolfberry and other things in it.

The stew was so bad it melted in your mouth.

"Mother, I have also prepared one for you. You can try it." Zhang Mingzhen has always been careful in doing things, and it is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to do it alone.

"Then I'll try it."

Xiangse handed the tremella soup to Bai Hua, and Bai Hua gave it to Empress Xu.

"Zhanji, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Zhu Zhanji doesn't like sweet things very much, so Zhang Mingzhen ordered the small kitchen of the East Palace to stew the white fungus soup that is not too sweet.

"Zhanji, mother wants to apologize to you." Zhang Mingzhen didn't take it seriously just because her son wasn't angry with her. "Mother doesn't really blame you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhu Zhanji: "Mother, I know you love Daddy, so I don't blame you."

Zhang Mingzhen was relieved when she heard Zhu Zhanji say so.

"Zhanji, thank you for not blaming mother."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhang Mingzhen, his small expression suddenly became very serious: "Mother, there is nothing wrong with you feeling sorry for Daddy, but you can't pamper Daddy, otherwise Daddy won't lose weight."

Empress Xu on the side said: "Boss daughter-in-law, you can't be soft-hearted to the boss, otherwise it will be difficult for the boss to lose weight."

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will never soften her heart." Zhang Mingzhen said to Zhu Zhanji again, "Mother will never indulge your father, this time you must let your father lose weight."

"Then mother, you have to supervise daddy well."

"Mother will definitely supervise."

Zhu Zhanji didn't speak any more, and obediently ate the white fungus soup with his head down.

Zhang Mingzhen chatted with Empress Xu, "Mother, how is the third sister-in-law? What does Doctor Jiang say?"

"No big problem, just some qi deficiency, just take a good care of it."

"Mother, it's not true that the third uncle asked the doctor Jiang to see the third aunt, but the remedies for wanting to have a child are true."

"Recipe for childbirth?" Zhang Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of surprise, "So that's the case, did Doctor Jiang give it?"

"Physician Jiang said no." Zhu Zhanji smiled gloatingly, "Physician Jiang said that folk remedies for childbirth are harmful, and eating them will damage the body."

Zhang Mingzhen was a little surprised and said: "Jiang's doctor is right." If it were any other doctor, he would honestly offer the remedies for childbirth to King Zhao, and would never talk too much about harming his health.

Zhu Zhanji sighed in his heart that Doctor Jiang still had great medical ethics.However, with his third uncle's eagerness to have a child, he will definitely look for other people's remedies to have a child.

"The third sister-in-law has just given birth and is not suitable for pregnancy at the moment. Why is the third brother so anxious?" The third sister-in-law has not recovered her vitality not long after she gave birth.If she becomes pregnant again at this time, it will cause great harm to her body, and it may be dangerous during childbirth. The third brother is really messed up.

"Because Uncle San is anxious for a son." Zhu Zhanji said sarcastically, "Uncle San wants his son to compete with me."

"Competing for favor?" Zhang Mingzhen looked blank, "For what favor?"

"The favorite of the emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother."

Zhang Mingzhen understood now, and said a little dumbfounded: "The third brother is really..."

Regarding the thoughts of the youngest son, Empress Xu knew clearly, but she also found the idea of ​​the youngest son very funny.

"Let him go."

Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled maliciously: "It would be fun if the third aunt gave birth to a daughter in the next child."

Empress Xu glared at Zhu Zhanji lightly: "Don't let your third uncle hear what you said."

"I won't tell third uncle." He won't say it now, but when third uncle gives birth to a daughter again, he will tell third uncle face to face.

Zhang Mingzhen talked to Empress Xu for a while before leaving.

Zhu Zhanji personally sent her to the gate of Kunning Palace.

"Zhanji, it's cold outside, go back quickly."

"Mother, then be careful."

Zhu Zhanji helped Zhang Mingzhen to sit on the step, and told the eunuch who was carrying the step: "Go slowly and pay attention to your steps."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Zhanji, you go back quickly."

Zhu Zhanji watched Zhang Mingzhen off for a while, then turned back to Kunning Palace.

"Grandmother, I want to eat roasted chestnuts and rice cakes."

Empress Xu asked slightly surprised: "Didn't you just eat some snacks just now? Why, aren't you full?"

"Suddenly want to eat chestnuts and rice cakes."

"Bake it if you want to eat it."

Chen Wu and Bai Hua went to prepare.

After a while, Zhu Zhanji sat in front of the brazier, staring at the chestnuts and rice cakes.

With a bang, the chestnuts are roasted.

Zhu Zhanji was not in a hurry to eat, but gave it to Empress Xu first: "Grandmother, you eat first."

"Grandmother just had a full meal, you can eat by yourself."

"Then I ate."

"Be careful it's hot."

Zhu Zhanji bowed his head and blew hard on the chestnuts in his hand.After the chestnuts cooled down a bit, he squeezed the chestnuts vigorously with both hands.There was a crisp cracking sound, the chestnut shell was crushed, and the aroma of chestnuts came to the nostrils immediately.

Empress Xu didn't want to eat it at first, but the aroma of roasted chestnuts was so tempting, she couldn't hold back, and ate it with Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji is very filial and has not forgotten Zhu Di.He roasted some chestnuts and asked Chen Wu to send them to Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di, Yang Shiqi and the others discussed political affairs and were chatting over tea.

Ma Sanbao came in, holding a food box in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is sent by His Highness."

"Sent by Zhanji?" Zhu Di asked in surprise, "Send me something to eat?"

"Yes, I heard that His Highness did it himself."

"Zhanji made it himself?" Zhu Di became more and more curious, "Hurry up and open it for me to see."

Ma Sanbao opened the food box, and inside was a plate of roasted chestnuts and a plate of roasted rice cakes.

The aroma of roasted chestnuts and roasted rice cakes permeated the imperial study room instantly.

"His Highness baked it himself, and I will send someone to bring it to you as soon as it is baked." Ma Sanbao flattered and said, "Your Highness, I am really filial to you."

Yang Shiqi said: "Your Highness is really filial."

Zhu Di couldn't help but said happily: "Zhanji is always filial." After speaking, he picked up a roasted chestnut and ate it, which was fragrant and sweet.

"The roasted one is not bad." He picked up another roasted chestnut and ate it.

Yang Shiqi and the others were not hungry at first, but now smelling the aroma of roasted chestnuts, they couldn't help feeling hungry.

Seeing Yang Rong and the others looking at him eagerly, Zhu Di raised his brows lightly, and said, "This is what Zhanji baked for me, don't you even think about it." After speaking, he told Ma Sanbao, " Go get them some snacks."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhu Di ate a few roasted chestnuts, he ate roasted rice cakes.

Although Yang Rong and the others couldn't eat the chestnuts and rice cakes baked by Zhu Zhanji himself, it was good to be able to eat the dim sum made by Shang Shanjian.

While eating, Zhu Di also showed off to Xie Jin and the others.

What can Xie Jin and the others do, they can only echo Zhu Di and praise Zhu Zhanji for being sensible and filial.

In the imperial study room, the monarch and his subjects ate snacks and drank tea together, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Zhanji was no longer satisfied with eating baked rice cakes.On a whim, he asked Chen Wu and the others to skewer meat and vegetables for him.

He wants roast meat and grilled vegetables.

Empress Xu let him do whatever he wanted.After a while, the side hall was filled with the smell of meat.

"If you continue to eat like this, you don't have to eat dinner."

"You still have to eat for dinner." Zhu Zhanji handed the freshly grilled mutton skewers to Empress Xu, "Grandmother, it should be cooked, try it."

Empress Xu took a small bite and tasted it, and it was indeed cooked.

"Grilled well."

Zhu Zhanji is roasting venison for himself.He thought the venison would taste better roasted.

After eating some barbecue, Zhu Zhanji was a little full and didn't eat any more.

"Grandmother, I'll take Heiyu out to play for a while."

Empress Xu warned: "You just ate, don't run away."

"I won't run." Zhu Zhanji ran around in the yard after eating a full meal before, causing his stomach to hurt.

After Zhu Di chatted with the ministers, he came to Kunning Palace to find Empress Xu and Zhu Zhanji.

"Grandfather." Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Di from a distance, and ran towards him happily.

Zhu Di knelt down and hugged his precious grandson who rushed into his arms.

"Grandpa, are my roasted chestnuts and rice cakes delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's very delicious, Grandpa Huang finished eating it all." Zhu Di kissed Zhu Zhanji's little face, and said dotingly, "I didn't expect that Zhanji is so good, and he can roast chestnuts and rice cakes. "

"Grandpa, I can also barbecue." Zhu Zhanji patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, "Grandpa, I will roast for you now."

"Okay."

Back in the side hall, Zhu Zhanji grilled meat enthusiastically.

Zhu Di was talking to Empress Xu while eating the barbecue presented to him by his grandson.

I will seal the pen tomorrow, so I don't need to go to court for the time being.After the Shangyuan Festival, the court will resume the court.

"The imperial court seals the pen, Your Majesty, you can take a good rest for a few days." Since Zhu Di came to the throne, he has been very busy every day.In the past six months, he has not had a day of leisure.

"Although the pen is closed, there are still many things to deal with." Zhu Di also wants to take a good rest, but he can't rest for the time being. "Queen, after the Shangyuan Festival, when the imperial court resumes the imperial court, I will resume Jinyiwei."

When Empress Xu heard this, she nodded calmly: "Your Majesty, as long as you make up your mind." She knew that Zhu Di had made up his mind, and no matter who persuaded him, it was useless.

"I plan to send Jin Yiwei to investigate the White Lotus Sect."

Empress Xu nodded in agreement: "The matter of the White Lotus Sect must be thoroughly investigated." Jin Yiwei is good at investigating matters.

"Queen..."

Zhu Di talked to Empress Xu about other things, which were all things to do in the spring of next year.

At the same time, in Zhao Wang's mansion.

Zhu Gaosui sent people to find a recipe for conceiving a child, but he couldn't guarantee that it would work.

"My lord, take me into the palace tomorrow to greet the queen mother."

"Greetings to the empress?" They were clearly talking about the folk prescription for giving birth, but they didn't understand why Princess Zhao suddenly said about entering the palace to pay her respects. "You can enter the palace to pay your respects by yourself, why do you need me to take you there. Also, didn't you just enter the palace to pay your respects to the queen two days ago?"

"I want to go to the palace to meet Zhanji."

"See what Zhanji is doing?"

Princess Zhao said: "My lord, you forgot that Zhanji is auspicious. I want to take advantage of his blessing."

Zhu Gaosui immediately understood Princess Zhao's intention, nodded and said, "Okay, I will take you into the palace tomorrow."

"Zhanji likes golden beans, let's bring a few more bags." Princess Zhao said meaningfully, "It's best to exchange something from Zhanji."

"You want Zhanji's things?" Zhu Gaosui asked with a puzzled face, "What do you want Zhanji's things for?"

"My lord, do you still remember the second brother's son?"

Zhu Gaosui was slightly startled, then frowned and said, "Why are you mentioning that ominous thing?"

"The child survived well, and nothing strange happened again." Princess Zhao has been sending people to secretly watch Wei Shi and their mother and son, and has a better understanding of their mother and son. "Before Wei Shi went to Zhuangzi, he asked Zhanji for a jade pendant for her son."

"You mean that Zhanji's jade pendant will bring good luck to the second brother's son?"

Concubine Zhao nodded affirmatively: "That's right."

"If you want Zhanji's jade pendant, golden beans are not enough." Zhu Gaosui thought for a while and said, "I remember I have a jade pendant made of suet white jade."

Concubine Zhao thought for a while and said, "There is such a jade pendant."

"Just exchange this jade pendant with Zhan Ji." Zhu Gaosui chuckled lightly, "If you don't exchange the jade pendant with Zhan Ji, you won't be able to get his jade pendant."

"I'll find out later, and exchange it with Zhu Zhanji tomorrow." Princess Zhao said again, "Sometimes what children say is very accurate. I'll ask Zhanji tomorrow."

"Ask Zhanji what?"

"Ask Zhanji if he wants a cousin." Concubine Zhao's calculations were very precise, "Zhanji is auspicious, so what he says will be very accurate."

Zhu Gaosui felt that Zhao Wangfei's words made sense, "Then you can ask tomorrow."

No wonder Zhu Gaosui and Princess Zhao were anxious to have a son.After the end of spring plowing next year, Zhu Di will take Zhu Gaosui to Beijing together, and he won't be able to return for a while.

Zhu Gaosui wanted to let Concubine Zhao conceive a child before he left, otherwise he would have to wait until he came back from Beijing.

Going to Beijing next year, Zhu Gaosui doesn't know when he will be able to come back. He doesn't want to fall behind his second brother.

Before Zhu Gaoxu went to Yunnan, he married a new princess.Although Concubine Han is not pregnant yet, it should be soon.

When Princess Han gave birth to a child, Zhu Gaoxu planned to use this incident to return to the capital.

Before that, Princess Zhao was pregnant a few months later than Webster.This time, Princess Zhao didn't want to give birth to a son later than Princess Han.

Far away in the Kunning Palace, Zhu Zhanji, who had just finished his dinner, sneezed suddenly: "Ah!"

This sneeze was very loud, which startled Zhu Di and Empress Xu.

Zhu Di hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, walked up to Zhu Zhanji, reached out and touched his forehead and small face: "You didn't suffer from the wind and cold, did you?"

Ma Sanbao immediately said: "Your maidservant, go and call the imperial physician."

"Grandpa Huang, I'm fine, there's no need to call the imperial physician." Zhu Zhanji rubbed his itchy nose, "Grandpa Huang, someone should be talking about me." It should be Daddy talking about him.

Empress Xu was worried: "Let the imperial doctor take a look."

Not long after, Ma Sanbao led Jiang Wusheng over.

Jiang Wusheng is on duty tonight.

"I have seen..."

Just as Jiang Wusheng was about to salute, Zhu Di stopped him.

"Excuse me, you can quickly feel Zhanji's pulse."

Zhu Zhanji obediently stretched out his right hand to Jiang Wusheng.

Jiang Wusheng put his hand on Zhu Zhanji's veins.After a while, his brows were wrinkled, and there was a look of doubt on his face.Then, his face suddenly became serious again.

Noticing Jiang Wusheng's expression, Zhu Zhanji raised his heart in an instant, isn't he really sick?

Zhu Di and Empress Xu were also frightened by Jiang Wusheng's changing expression, and their hearts couldn't help becoming heavy.
