Chapter 27: Grandpa Emperor, your grandson is very wronged!
Old Zhu chewed over these two sentences over and over again, feeling that they touched the heart.
Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by. Every piece of silk should be appreciated as it is not easy to produce.
What a great thing to say! Why can’t I think of such a good word?
"Grandson, where did you hear this?"
Zhu Yunhuan rolled his eyes and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who said it. In line with the principle of keeping things within the family, he simply put the blame on his own father.
"Grandpa Emperor, this is what happened one time when I didn't eat well and dropped a lot of rice grains. My father saw it and criticized me."
"Who said that specifically? You'll have to ask my father."
"Our emperor..."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhu's eyes turned red again and he almost burst into tears on the spot.
He felt more and more that Huang'er was outstanding, and he only regretted that he knew it too late...
Since it was said by our prince, it is easy to deal with. From now on, this sentence belongs to us!
"Actually, I said this to your father..."
"Your father was eighteen... fifteen... no, no, when he was your age, he was also scolded for wasting food."
"I never thought that after so many years, your father would still remember..."
"My great grandson, you must remember this sentence. This is the legacy of our Zhu family!"
After Old Zhu finished saying these words, he thought secretly with pride in his heart, "Let's add this sentence to the "Imperial Ming Ancestor Instructions" and let the descendants of the Zhu family pass it down from generation to generation!"
"ah?"
Zhu Yunhuan's eyes widened when he heard this. Although he didn't remember who said this, he at least remembered that this was Zhu Xi's family precepts, and it seemed to have happened in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Just by moving his lips, Mr. Zhu's plagiarized results were plagiarized?
Well, you are the emperor and you are the biggest, if you say it is you, then it is you!
Zhu Yunhuan understood this and immediately transformed the doubt on his face into just the right amount of admiration.
"So it was Grandpa Huang who said that!"
"Grandpa Emperor is so amazing. He can say such philosophical words full of life wisdom!"
When Old Zhu heard his eldest grandson's flattery, his face turned red, which was rare. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did his grandson see through it ?
But so what? I am his grandfather, so I have to do whatever I say!
If the little rebellious grandson dares to question us, we will beat him with a stick!
"What are you looking at? Why don't you eat quickly?"
Zhu Yunhuan said obediently after hearing this.
"Grandpa Emperor, you taught me yesterday that the younger generation cannot eat before the elders start eating."
When Old Zhu heard his eldest grandson say this, he felt so relieved that he immediately picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of his favorite fried lamb for his grandson.
“So good!”
"What a great grandson of ours!"
Old Zhu picked up a piece of mutton for his eldest grandson, then he remembered that he had not washed his hands yet. He immediately turned around and washed his hands in the copper basin brought by the young eunuch. But just as he wiped his hands and was about to turn around to eat, he found that only the plate of fried mutton was left.
Such a big plate of mutton, and it was all eaten by this grandson?
Old Zhu decided to observe for a while to see how his eldest grandson ate so fast.
Afterwards, Old Zhu experienced Lu's shock himself, and saw with his own eyes what it meant for a starving ghost to be reincarnated.
The grandson finished a big bowl of noodles in just a few bites, and also had a plate of stir-fried pork.
After finishing the noodles, the grandson brought over the fragrant rice, then poured the whole plate of fried pork and yellow vegetables into the bowl and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
When Lao Zhu came to his senses, the only edible things on the table were a few plates of pickles, a piece of rice cake, and a plate of shredded bitter gourd.
While Lao Zhu was smiling bitterly, he was also feeling a little angry in his heart.
How harshly must Mrs. Lu treat our imperial grandson to have starved him to this extent!
Just when Old Zhu was about to order the imperial kitchen to prepare some food, Xu Xingzu walked in with a scarf draped over his face and a smile on his face.
This has been Xu Xingzu's habit for many years. Every time the emperor was halfway through a meal, he would come in and ask for His Majesty's opinion.
He said he was listening to suggestions and serving His Majesty better, but in reality he just wanted to show his face and let His Majesty know that he had put in a lot of effort.
As soon as Xu Xingzu entered the room, he was slightly surprised to see a little child sitting at the table. When he saw the child's appearance and recognized that he was the second grandson of the Crown Prince's Mansion, he was even more surprised.
Hasn't Your Majesty always favored the eldest grandson? Why did you call the second grandson here?
Although Xu Xingzu was quite confused, he still felt proud when he saw the child eating so voraciously.
As a chef, the greatest joy is seeing others enjoy their food.
"Your Majesty, is today's meal delicious?"
Old Zhu looked at his eldest grandson helplessly and pouted his lips in frustration.
"Don't ask me that. I haven't even taken a bite yet and this bastard has eaten it all!"
Xu Xingzu became even happier when he heard this, as if he had met a close friend in life.
"Second Prince, what do you think of the food we prepared today? Is it to your liking?"
Zhu Yunxun was concentrating on eating when he suddenly saw an old man who was as fat as Maitreya Buddha. He looked at him with a smile and nodded vaguely.
“Good times!”
"It's much better than the food in our Prince's Mansion!"
When Xu Xingzu saw Zhu Yunhuan praising him so much, he immediately laughed triumphantly.
"As long as Your Highness likes it!"
"Your Highness, have you eaten enough? If not, I will prepare some food for you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang grumbled in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
"Old Xu, don't just patronize that grandson. Can't you see we haven't eaten yet?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
"Both, both, hahahaha..."
Old Zhu watched Xu Xingzu leave with a big laugh, thinking to himself that this old fellow had finally found a confidant, who knows what he will brag about in the imperial kitchen.
But our eldest grandson eats with such delicious taste that I can't help but feel envious after watching him for a while.
Not long after, Xu Xingzu ordered someone to bring up some food again.
Compared with the first wave, the quality of the imperial meal this time was significantly improved. Not only was the variety richer, but the quantity also made Zhu Yunhuan very satisfied.
After finishing the fragrant rice, Zhu Yunhuan took out a tray of soup dumplings and chatted with Xu Xingzu while drinking the soup.
"Grandpa, you are Xu Xingzu, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingzu quickly waved his hands.
“I don’t deserve it!”
"It is a great honor for me that the Second Prince calls me Old Xu. I dare not call you Grandpa."
Old Zhu felt quite relieved when he heard this, and secretly cursed this bastard for being a smart guy.
We just taught him yesterday how to treat the cook politely, and today this bastard is learning it right away.
Zhu Yunxun blinked and said teasingly with a smile.
"Grandpa Xu, I like the food you cooked. It's not as bad as my grandfather said..."
"Second Prince, is the Emperor arguing with you about this old slave again?"
"Your Majesty, I don't accept this. It's been so many years, why are you still making up stories about me?"
Xu Xingzu complained to Old Zhu, then explained to Zhu Yunhuan with a smile on his face.
"Second Prince, I haven't had to work myself since the day our Lord ascended the throne. Now I just watch others cook, and I just move my mouth and taste the dishes every day. It's very easy, hehehe."
Zhu Yunhuan suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this. He felt that something was wrong. With Zhu's violent temper, how could he endure the unpleasant taste and not change people?
It turned out that Lao Zhu promoted him and asked him to watch other chefs cook!
Zhu Yunhuan was sure that when the emperor grandfather taught his uncle a lesson, he definitely didn't tell him about this. Maybe, the unjust uncle, is still enduring the pig food made by his own cook!
Zhu Yunhuan secretly glanced at Old Zhu and thought to himself, this old man is very bad, I have to be careful in the future!
Old Zhu ate two steamed buns and a bowl of brown rice porridge with pickles and was full. He spent the rest of the time staring at his eldest grandson while he ate.
What the grandson said was right. He really had a big appetite. He ate more than two or three adults.
This made him feel both surprised and sad. Could it be that our eldest grandson was really abused in the Eastern Palace?
"My dear grandson, have you been treated harshly in the East Palace?"
"Although the Lu family has some small ideas, they still don't dare to treat you harshly and not let you eat enough, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan immediately pursed his lips and made an extremely aggrieved expression.
In fact, he had almost finished eating, and the reason he kept eating was because he was waiting for Lao Zhu to ask this question!
"Grandpa Emperor, your grandson feels so wronged, wuwuwu..."
