[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

It can be said that on the first day when he returned home, Zhu Mingcheng was annoyed by his stupid brother.Now he has to worry about whether his younger sister is doing well in the palace, and whether the niece raised by his stupid brother will be angry with her. More importantly, he is beginning to worry about what the emperor thinks.

It's not that he's overthinking, it's really, it's that the news his daughter brought was very bad.Although it was only a few words, Zhu Mingcheng could tell that even his daughter Zhu Yanran was wondering whether his younger sister Zhu Guiren was afraid of the new queen and therefore played tricks behind her back to cause trouble for the new queen.

It wasn't Zhu Mingcheng who said it, really, it was his daughter's words that really gave him this feeling.

If it was in the past, if their Zhu family was still at the border, or a military household at the border, then Zhu Mingcheng definitely dared to say that his little sister was not such a person.But now?The younger sister has been with the current emperor for 20 years, and she has been sitting in the harem of the nobleman for ten years. Is the younger sister still the same as before?

Zhu Mingcheng didn't know.

Because he knew that people would change, and even his little sister couldn't keep the innocence, cuteness and cuteness of the past forever.

But, more importantly, how the emperor sees their Zhu family now.

As a border general, Zhu Mingcheng is proud, because he thinks that everything he has now is due to his military exploits.However, this does not mean that he does not understand the relationship between the former dynasty and the harem.The most obvious thing is that Zhu Mingcheng would not have lived so peacefully in the Northwest if it hadn't been for the fact that Mrs. Zhu has been so outstanding in the harem for so many years that even the queen dared not mess with her.

In Zhu Mingcheng's view, the younger sister's favor is the emperor's trust in him.Then, on the other hand, if Mr. Zhu is not so favored, will the emperor still trust him?

That's what Zhu Mingcheng wanted to know.

Jia Yan originally thought that she would see a reprint of Nian Gengyao in popular novels, arrogant and domineering, but at the royal banquet in Shanglinyuan, Jia Yan realized that she was wrong when she saw the great general of Zhenhai.

Zhu Mingcheng is not Nian Gengyao.

This was discovered when she asked An Wen to pour wine for Zhu Mingcheng.

When Anwen walked towards Zhu Mingcheng's seat with the jug in his hand, Zhu Mingcheng stood up, dared not to refuse, but held the wine glass in both hands, and when Anwen finished pouring the wine, he first asked the emperor and queen above Thank you, then nodded to An Wen, and finally picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Such a character made Jia Yan unable to help comparing him with those historical figures—this Zhu Mingcheng, if he wasn't someone like Guo Ziyi, then he was the Tokugawa Ieyasu who was in front of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he was absolutely difficult to deal with.

Jia Yan sitting on the chair is also the focus of everyone. Her every move is watched by everyone present.Among them, Zhu Cairen, who was licensed today to compete with Wei Jieyu, couldn't help but say:

"Why does the Empress keep staring at my uncle, but is there something wrong with my uncle?" @无限好文，all in Jinjiang Literature City

Zhu Cairen's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Everyone couldn't help but glance at her, and then followed her words and turned their attention to Jia Yan who was in the chair.

Jia Yan smiled and said: "The Hexi Corridor is the main road leading from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and it is also a place that military strategists must contend for. Xihai Yanzi is the most important thing. In the past, the Xianbei people entered the Central Plains from here. Over the years, if It's not the general who guards the Hexi Corridor, I'm afraid the northwest will not be so stable. This cup, I should respect the general."

After the queen said so, everyone present raised their glasses.

"Respect General."

Mrs. Zhu also didn't like this niece who was supposed to be her daughter-in-law but became her "sister" in the end.With her status, of course there is no need to worry about a small talented person.However, as the daughter of the Zhu family, and the Emperor specially held a dust-cleaning banquet for her brother in Shanglin Garden, she would be ashamed for her niece to say such a thing. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

However, the emperor and empress are sitting here, and it is not her turn to teach a little talented person, even if this talented person is her natal niece.

More importantly, Mrs. Zhu knew that now it was her turn to compete with her niece for the support of Zhu's family. She hadn't had a child for ten years, and her niece was young, and her niece's parents, He was also the head of the Zhu family's General's Mansion in the capital.

She had to find a way to have a private talk with her second brother, at least, at least not let her stand on the niece's side.

Zhu Mingcheng could clearly see Zhu Guiren's expression.

Zhu Mingcheng saw the worry on his sister's face, and also saw the stupidity of his niece, and felt depressed.But this is Shanglin Garden, and the emperor and empress are present here, even if he has something on his mind, he can't put it on his face.

For palace banquets, there must be professional dancers and singers from the Jiaofang Division to perform, but it is not necessary for the concubines to dance and sing, especially when there are outsiders.

Palace banquets are nothing more than watching singers and dancers dance, and then eating and drinking are over.Even when you speak, you must be careful with your words.

However, because Zhu Mingcheng was the leader of the army and had made great achievements in battle, he was able to go to Honghui Hall to talk to his sister and nephew afterwards.

The brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for many years, before Zhu Guiren opened his mouth, his eyes were red.The sixth prince felt that his throat was stuck and he couldn't speak.

For many years, the sixth prince has been protected by his parents, raised in the palm of his hand, and Zhu Minghui's family flattered him to the utmost. Before Zhu Qiuniang entered the palace, he really had not suffered any grievances.But when Zhu Qiuniang entered the palace and became his father's talent, the sixth prince realized very clearly that his third uncle had betrayed him as well as his mother.If the second uncle doesn't want their mother and child anymore, he really doesn't know what to do.

So, just like a baby bird seeing its own mother, the sixth prince just stared at Zhu Mingcheng, but couldn't say anything.

Looking at his younger sister who still looks the same but has a completely unfamiliar demeanor and demeanor, and then looks at his nephew whom he hasn't seen a few times, Zhu Mingcheng's first reaction is whether he should marry another wife.

It's no wonder Zhu Mingcheng thought so, just now, the emperor's performance at the banquet has already explained everything.If what his daughter Zhu Yanran said before was true, then he had to consider the fact that the emperor feared that the harem had too much entanglement with the former court.

Therefore, after paying respects to nobleman Zhu, after the ceremony, after taking a seat, Zhu Mingcheng's first sentence was not to ask nobleman Zhu if he was okay, but: "I heard that the elder brother of the empress is in southern Guangdong, isn't it?"

The sixth prince immediately said: "When uncle came to Honghui Hall, the first thing he said was not to care about the mother, but to ask the empress's elder brother?"

Zhu Gui immediately stopped his son: "That's enough, Emperor! How sooner or later you will change your temper!" Then he turned to Zhu Mingcheng and said, "That's good, why did Second Brother ask this?"

"Then can the empress clear up the confusion for the minister?"

Zhu Guiren immediately noticed that her brother's tone and address were wrong, she forced a smile, and said, "Second brother, you, why are you so strange to my sister?" Seeing that Zhu Mingcheng's expression was wrong, Zhu Guiren had no choice but to put down the greetings and said : "Yes, when the empress accepted the royal appointment, she threw her own brother to Yazhou. Later, this uncle of the country made great contributions in the south. Long live originally said that he would be transferred back, but The empress refused, so Long Live promoted this uncle of the country to be the second-rank chief envoy of Nanyue. It's very good, why does the second brother ask this?"

Zhu Mingcheng said: "Your Majesty is always smart, how come you don't even understand this?"

Zhu Guiren hesitated, and then said: "Second brother! You! Are you mad at your sister? Can this civil servant be the same as a military general?"

"Civilian officials and military generals are of course different. Civilian officials are scholars who failed to rebel for three years, but what about military generals?"

Zhu Mingcheng said this sentence in a low voice.

Zhu Guiren seemed to have been slapped severely by someone, and he said after a while: "Second brother, is second brother leaving me too?"

Zhu Mingcheng said: "Little sister, you have always been smart, why are you confused now? Nanyue is full of miasma, if you are not careful, you will die as a foreigner. But the empress still sent her own brother to that place..."

The sixth prince couldn't help interjecting: "That's because the Jia family committed a crime!"

"Shut up!" Zhu Gui stopped what his son was about to say, then turned to his elder brother and said, "Second brother, what exactly do you want to say?"

Zhu Mingcheng said: "Sister, it's not a bad thing for your third brother to send your niece and daughter to the palace. At least, at least our Zhu family can be separated. In this way, we won't be implicated in anything in the future..."

Zhu Guiren was stunned. She stood up abruptly, took half a step forward, and said, "Second Brother, what do you mean? Do you mean to separate?"

Parents are here, no separation.

Zhu's family is different from Jia's family. In Jia's family, Jia Daishan is gone, but Jia's mother is here.According to the three obediences and four virtues of husband's death and son's obedience, Jia Daishan is gone, and Jia She is the head of the Rongguo Mansion. His request to separate the family may be a bit harsh in the eyes of some people, but it is still reasonable and legal.But until today, the Jia family has not separated, and Jia Zheng's family still lives in Qingronghou's mansion.Instead, it's the Zhu family who are going to split up? !You know, the old man of the Zhu family, that is, Zhu Guiren's biological father, is still there!

Lord Zhu shook his head repeatedly, and said: "I don't agree. Second brother, this is not acceptable! The folks may do this, but our family, no! Absolutely not! I don't agree!"

Zhu Guiren's voice was placed in the palace, and according to the palace rules, it was definitely up to the level of screaming.

Zhu Mingcheng didn't say anything. In the following time, no matter how noble Zhu objected, and no matter how dissatisfied the sixth prince expressed, he never said a word.

Then, the next day, Zhu Mingcheng handed in his resignation, saying that he was already in his forties, almost 50 years old, and he had been fighting in the battlefield for many years, and his body was full of injuries.He didn't want to go back when he returned to the capital this time. He hoped to hand over his military power and then live at home for the elderly.
