Chapter 3 Who is he trying to embarrass by making this weird face?
Zhu Yunhuan was carried back to the bedroom by the young eunuch. He cursed and groaned for a long time before falling into deep sleep.
This experience left him with a huge shadow, making him realize that even if he traveled through time and space and became the emperor's grandson, he could not speak carelessly.
Otherwise, there will be unexpected disasters.
When he woke up again, the pain was not that severe, but he felt extremely hungry.
He immediately called a young eunuch and asked him to get him something to eat, but the eunuch's answer made him collapse.
"Your Highness, there is no food in our bedroom. Please be patient for now and go to the Crown Princess' bedroom for dinner in the morning."
"What time is it now? How long until dawn?"
"It's about five o'clock now, right?"
"When I was taking a nap just now, I vaguely heard the sound of a clapper outside five times."
Zhu Yunhuan collapsed again when he heard this answer. What time is the fifth hour?
But obviously no one could answer his question, because the ancients had a very weak concept of time. They looked at the sun's shadow during the day and the hourglass at night. The simplicity of these timekeeping tools could not give rise to an accurate concept of time.
Zhu Yunhuan reflected deeply on his mistake and decided that he would make himself a watch as soon as his injury healed.
If a watch is too technically difficult, then make a pocket watch. If a pocket watch is not possible, then make a clock.
Then make a few more and give one to the old man, hehe!
Since he was too hungry to sleep, Zhu Yunhuan didn't care whether the young eunuch was sleepy or not, and chatted with him casually.
"Hey, what's your name?"
When Zhu Yunhuan said this, he pointed to his head and explained it briefly.
"The doctor said I have soul separation syndrome. I can't remember many things."
The young eunuch nodded without any doubt, indicating that he understood the other party's condition.
"Reporting to Your Highness, this servant is Wang De."
"So you are the third child?"
"Your Highness, remember now, I am indeed the third child in the family!"
Zhu Yunhuan said "Oh" lightly, thinking to himself, "What the hell did I remember? I just thought of a secret visit."
"Then you will be called Sandezi from now on!"
Wang De was very happy when he heard this, and quickly bowed deeply to Zhu Yunhuan.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the name I gave you. From now on, I will be called Sandezi!"
Wang De's sudden reaction confused Zhu Yunhuan. He couldn't understand why he could make the other party so happy just by saying a nickname.
Little did they know that in the Ming Dynasty, these eunuchs who served closely would, if nothing unexpected happened, be with one noble person for the rest of their lives.
If Zhu Yunhuan is crowned king in the future, they will also have to follow him to his fiefdom. As for whether they can become the chief eunuch of the palace, it depends on whether they can gain the trust of the noble.
The noble man personally gave him the name, which showed that he regarded him as a confidant. How could he not be happy?
Zhu Yunhuan couldn't understand all these twists and turns, he just wanted to get some words out of this guy.
"San Dezi, I have forgotten a lot of things. Can you tell me about my father... I don't need to talk about my father. What's my mother's name? Is there any high-ranking official in my family?"
Zhu Yunhuan’s purpose was very simple, which was find a backer for himself.
Otherwise, it is hard to say whether a nobody like him, who has not even a name left in history, can live to see the day of being crowned king.
"Are you asking about the late Crown Princess?"
"oh?"
Zhu Yunhuan was puzzled when he heard this. Wasn't the one who knelt on the ground and kowtowed yesterday his own mother?
"I guess so. Try to be as detailed as possible, especially the name!"
"Then I am offended!"
"Your biological mother, Crown Princess Chang, was born into a prominent family. She was the daughter of Kaiping Prince Chang Yuchun, and her name was Chang Wan..."
Zhu Yunhuan calculated silently in his mind. He remembered that Chang Yuchun died quite early, so he was probably buried in the ground now, right?
Sure enough, Sandezi's next words confirmed his guess.
"After Master Chang passed away, it was originally the eldest master of the Chang family, Chang Mao, who inherited the title of Duke of Zheng . Later, Chang Mao violated military discipline and offended His Majesty, so His Majesty demoted him to Longzhou as a commander."
"Your Majesty, in consideration of the achievements of Prince Kaiping, allowed the second master of the Chang family, Chang Sheng, to inherit the title and changed his title to Duke of Kaiguo..."
Zhu Yunhuan was a little disappointed when he heard this. Although the title of founding duke sounded like a very high position, the name Chang Sheng was too unfamiliar and he had never heard of it before.
In fact, if he had not traveled through time to Zhu Yunhuan, he would not have known that there was such a person in history.
After all, the knowledge he learned during his nine years of compulsory education only covered historical figures such as the Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song.
"Is there no powerful person in my mother's family?"
"A powerful person?"
San Dezi frowned and thought about it, then suddenly his eyes lit up.
"By the way, you also have an uncle who was granted the title of Duke of Liang, and is also a high-ranking official!"
"oh?"
"What's my great uncle's name?"
"Blue Jade!"
"Oh my god, Lan Yu is actually my uncle?"
Lan Yu was one of the few historical celebrities Zhu Yunhuan knew. In his impression, this guy seemed to be very good at fighting. He fought the Battle of Buir Lake and wiped out the last breath of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
But later, no one knew what he had done wrong, but Zhu Yuanzhang executed his entire family, and tens of thousands of people were implicated as well.
In principle, Lan Yu is quite suitable to be a backer, but this backer is a bit dangerous, and he might even be implicated.
Zhu Yunhuan took note of it secretly, and then asked about some palace rules, and finally had a certain understanding of the daily life of his new identity.
In principle, as long as he doesn't offend Zhu, no one can control him in the current Ming Dynasty!
As for the stepmother, Mrs. Lu, she can barely even pretend to be a good wife and mother, so how dare she overly restrict him?
After Zhu Yunhuan understood his position, he secretly planned a development path for himself.
Make money, be crowned king, and return to your fiefdom!
Farming, training soldiers, and being the king of the sea!
Aquaman has a double meaning.
Let Prince of Yan and Zhu Yunwen fight to the death first, and when they are almost done fighting, come over and pick peaches in the name of clearing the emperor's side, la la la!
"San Dezi, how has the Lu family treated me over the years?"
When Wang De heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he hesitated whether to tell the truth.
Because if he told the truth, it might cause his Highness to come into direct conflict with the Lu family. But if he didn't tell the truth, he would feel guilty towards the former Crown Princess.
"How should I put it? The current Crown Princess treats you well, right?"
When Zhu Yunhuan saw that Wang De spoke so reluctantly, he knew what was going on. This was another cliché story of a stepson and a stepmother.
Fortunately, he vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he had fought with his stepmother for more than ten years. Although he could not remember the specific things, he still had some understanding of the general mental journey. Therefore, he was not afraid at all when he heard such things rashly!
Humph, from now on, the Lu family’s good days are over!
…
Princess Lu was dressed in new clothes under the service of the palace maids. As soon as she walked into the dining hall, she saw a thin young man standing by the table early in the morning, holding a bowl in his hand and banging it on the table.
When Mrs. Lu saw this scene, she was stunned. When did this child become so enthusiastic about eating? He was like a starving ghost reincarnated!
Besides, who was he trying to embarrass by making this weird face?
If outsiders saw this, they would think that his stepmother was abusing him!
