Chapter 52: A money-losing guy who only knows how to eat!
When Old Zhu heard that his grandson dared to talk back to him, he immediately lost face.
"etc!"
"Bring that grandson back to us. We didn't hit him lightly just now. Let's teach him a lesson again!"
Upon hearing this, several young eunuchs immediately carried Zhu Yunhuan back, making Zhu Yunhuan so anxious that he burst into tears.
"Grandpa Emperor, please spare me, spare me, wuwuwu..."
Old Zhu was just trying to scare him, and when he saw him begging for mercy, he snorted coldly.
"snort!"
"Are you humming one for us?"
"Grandpa Emperor's kindness to his grandson is higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and as endless as the surging river..."
Old Zhu felt his scalp tingling at the flattery and quickly waved his hands as if he was chasing away a fly.
"Hurry up and take him away. If this grandson keeps talking for a while , our palace will become a stable, full of the smell of flattery!"
Although Old Zhu expressed his disgust, he had a smiling face, and it was obvious that he was very happy with the flattery.
When Qin Deshun saw Zhu Yunhuan being carried away, he immediately said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, look at the Third Grandson's body. He seems to be much healthier than before!"
Old Zhu took over the conversation and said with a smile.
"really!"
"I can take a lot more beatings than before, hahaha!"
Old Zhu chatted and laughed for a while, then went to court refreshed, and on the way he hummed the Fengyang tune with great interest.
Gong in the left hand, drum in the right hand, hey hey...
There is that little rebellious grandson who is disobedient and clever and annoying.
He cried out when he was hit by a stick, but he forgot the pain when the wound healed...
While Zhu Yuanzhang was humming a tune as he went to court, Crown Princess Lu was angry because Zhu Yunhuan was absent from breakfast again.
"It seems that someone has climbed up the social ladder and no longer cares about the food in our Prince's Mansion!"
"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Wait for me to feed you!"
Upon hearing this, several concubines hurriedly lowered their heads, fearing that they would anger Mrs. Lu and not even have breakfast.
After complaining, Mrs. Lu immediately picked up the chopsticks and poked a bun viciously, then put it in the bowl and poked it a few more times.
When the others saw her picking up her chopsticks, they dared to eat.
However, the people sitting at the table did not make a sound.
Not to mention the sound of smacking lips while eating, there wasn't even the sound of the dishes and chopsticks hitting each other.
This is the rule for royal family to eat together. I guess there are only three people in the entire royal family who act as if they are alone as Zhu Yunhuan.
The other one, of course, is the old patriarch of the royal family, the founder of the Ming Empire, Zhu Yuanzhang, Mr. Zhu’s building.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was special. He was destined to set rules for others in his life. Who would dare to teach him the rules?
Just when Mrs. Lu was about to tie the buns into a sieve, her personal maid Dongmei came over and whispered in her ear.
"Your Majesty, someone just saw Zhu Yunhuan being carried to the Imperial Hospital. It is said that he was severely punished by His Majesty because he angered His Majesty!"
"ha!"
"really?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Little Fuzi from our palace just ran back and told me about it. Many people saw it!"
When Mrs. Lu
Humph!
I have known for a long time that the son of this lowly maid is not worthy of being in public. Even if he is lucky enough to gain the favor of Your Majesty, he will sooner or later anger Your Majesty because of his bad temper!
Duke Zheng defeated Duan at Yan!
My son is destined to be the Duke of Zheng, while Zhu Yunhuan can only be Gong Shuduan!
It seems that I have to continue to indulge him until he develops a lawless character!
Lu's heart knot was untied and his appetite improved.
Not only did he enjoy the meal himself, he also picked up some food for his two sons and four concubines' daughters.
"Zhu Yunhuan lost his mother a long time ago, and now he has lost his father. You sisters should play with him more in the future to ease his grief. Remember?"
The two younger ones looked confused when they heard this, while the two older princesses nodded quickly.
"Please rest assured, mother. We sisters will play with our third brother every day and will never let him study too hard and ruin his health!"
When Mrs. Lu heard Zhu Mingyue say "Third brother", she felt it was irritating.
If it were in the past, she would have slapped him in the face. However, yesterday afternoon, the old man had just sent an edict to the Ministry of Rites, asking them to decide on the ceremony for the sacrifice to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and also ordered the Ministry of Works to draw up a plan for repairing the royal mausoleum.
After these two decrees, the whole atmosphere in the palace changed.
Everyone naturally called Zhu Yunwen the second grandson of the emperor, and Zhu Yunhuan the third grandson of the emperor...
Lu knew that there must be someone secretly instructing this, and it might be that the news came from the Imperial Household Department.
Therefore, even when she heard people in the Prince's Mansion calling her that, she dared not say anything.
Because the Imperial Household Department is the dog raised by that old guy. If that old guy didn't give the order, how dare they do such a thing?
Lu's chest rose and fell violently several times before he suppressed the evil fire in his heart.
Fortunately, Zhu Mingyue was a smart girl, and the second half of her sentence was quite thoughtful, otherwise she would have been angry to death.
"Ming Yue is so smart!"
"Here's a chicken neck for you. If it's not enough, there's more here!"
Zhu Mingyue took the chicken neck and immediately showed gratitude.
"Thank you, mother!"
"I will definitely keep an eye on my third brother for you in the future and never let him study too hard!"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, the smile on her face became even more intense.
"You have reached the age of marriage, and your mother has nothing, so I will give you a set of head jewelry!"
"Dongmei!"
"Give Mingyue my set of agate head ornaments inlaid with gold and silver!"
Zhu Mingyue hurriedly stood up to thank him, but she felt disapproving in her heart.
Whether it is a chicken neck or this so-called agate jewelry, it is only my turn to get it because others don't like it.
Relatively speaking, the third brother was the one who truly treated them as family members. He gave them the best things and ate the chicken bones with little meat on them.
With just this small favor, he still expects me to help him cheat Third Brother and ruin his future?
Nonsence!
Tonight I will tell my third brother to study hard and surpass all the sons you gave birth to!
Seeing Zhu Mingyue thanking her profusely, Mrs. Lu thought she had successfully bribed this little girl. She was so happy that she even ate an extra bowl of rice.
This was a rare harmonious atmosphere for the concubines, so everyone ate as much as they could until they could not eat any more.
Just when Mrs. Lu was enjoying her meal, another trusted palace maid, Chunlan, came in hurriedly and whispered in her ear.
"My lady, I heard that Zhu Yunhuan went to the Imperial Hospital lying on the sedan chair of Your Majesty..."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, the smile on her face froze immediately, and she asked in disbelief.
"What?"
"Your Majesty actually..."
When Mrs. Lu thought of this, she immediately slapped Dongmei hard on the face with her backhand.
"Bitch!"
"I asked you to pass on a message, but you couldn't even deliver it completely. What use do I have for you?"
Although Chunlan's voice was not loud just now, Dongmei who was standing next to her could hear it clearly. She was also shocked when she heard this, and thought to herself that Xiao Fuzi was deceiving people. Why didn't he report such important news!
Sure enough, before she could finish her complaints, she was slapped by the Crown Princess.
"My lady, I don't know either. Xiao Fuzi didn't mention it just now!"
"waste!"
"You guys are the same, a bunch of money-losing bastards who only know how to eat and eat!"
