Chapter 89: The One Who Can Make Lan Yu Frustrate
The next morning, before daybreak, Zhu Yunhuan was awakened by a burst of crying.
"San Dezi, what's going on outside? Can't we sleep?"
San Dezi came running over from outside and said.
"Your Highness, please be patient. The ladies in our mansion are packing up their things and planning to go to the nunnery to practice."
"ah……"
When Zhu Yunhuan heard about this, he felt deeply saddened.
The best years of one's life are often accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas, so it is understandable that they cried a few times.
Just as Zhu Yunhuan fell into a deep sleep, he heard a call from outside.
When San Dezi heard that it was Li Meiren's maid Xiaochan, he hurried out to greet her. When he went out, he found that it was not only Xiaochan, but also the maids of several other masters.
They were seen standing in the yard, some holding boxes, some carrying bundles, crying.
"Eunuch Wang, please tell your Highness that our master is going to practice outside the palace. These belongings are useless. Leave them as dowries for the princesses in the mansion..."
At this time, Zhu Yunhuan also dressed and walked out, and Sandezi immediately stepped forward to ask for instructions.
"Your Highness, look at this matter..."
Zhu Yunxun looked at several maids and asked.
"Since it's a dowry for my sisters, why don't you send it directly to their houses? Why send it to me?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, my master said that the Crown Princess is strict, and he is afraid that the princesses are young and might offend her."
As soon as Zhu Yunhuan heard this, he understood what he meant by being afraid of offending someone. He was afraid that those little girls would not be able to keep themselves under control and would be forcibly taken away by Lu, right?
"Fine!"
"Put all your things in my room. When my sisters grow up, I will let them visit the elders more often."
When Xiaochan heard this, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face, and the other palace maids also showed their joy.
They only knew that the Third Prince was powerful and dared to go against the Lu family. They didn't expect that the Third Prince was so smart and guessed what they meant at once.
In fact, they were not only afraid that the little girl could not keep herself in check, but they themselves could not keep themselves in check either.
Once they moved into the temple, all these worldly possessions became Lu's possession.
Therefore, they would rather give it away in exchange for a favor than let Lu get away with it.
Zhu Yunhuan just said that he would ask the princesses to visit them often. This was their biggest wish, but one that they were reluctant to express out loud.
Now that Zhu Yunhuan had taken the initiative to speak it out, it could be considered as relieving his master of his worries.
After the maids left, several more waves came, and Zhu Yunhuan took them all in. However, he registered the names of each group and clearly stated which stepmother they belonged to.
After finishing all this, Zhu Yunhuan started his normal morning run, and then took Sandezi and a pile of homework to Old Zhu for inspection.
Old Zhu was checking several memorials in the morning. When he saw his little rebellious grandson come in, he quickly put down the memorials and asked with a smile.
"How many words have you written?"
Zhu Yunxun snorted and said with a smug look on his face.
"Replying to Grandpa Huang, I have accomplished your mission and have finished writing it all!"
"oh?"
Old Zhu took the heavy pile of homework, hesitated for a long time but didn't even look at it, and threw it directly to the eunuch beside him.
"Get a brazier and burn these."
"ah?"
"ah!"
Old Zhu's words shocked Little Zhu and the eunuchs. They all looked at Old Zhu in surprise, wondering what Old Zhu's intention was.
When Lao Zhu saw their puzzled expressions, he sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew this thing was fake without even looking at it, so why bother looking at it? Was he just making himself angry?
Although Old Zhu was certain that Zhu Yunhuan had cheated again, he still touched his head kindly.
"We won't check it today. Just assume that you have finished all your homework!"
"ah?"
Zhu Yunhuan had originally thought of a lot of sophistry, but seeing how magnanimous and kind Zhu was, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
The two of them went to a side hall to eat. Even with a bun in his mouth, Zhu Yunhuan still couldn't believe it. Could this old man be so kind?
"Grandpa Huang, you really don't want to check it out?"
"dont see!"
"Even if we don't look, we know there's a ghost in there!"
"Then you..."
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunhuan with a smile.
"Grandson, you don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not as unreasonable as you think."
"cut……"
Zhu Yunhuan didn't believe that Old Zhu could be so kind. This old man must be planning something bad and was looking for trouble to give him a big one.
However, it was a pleasant surprise that I could get away with it so easily today.
After finishing his meal, Zhu Yunhuan grabbed a few big buns, wrapped them in paper, ran out happily, and handed the buns to Sandezi who was guarding the door.
“Eat it while it’s hot!”
San Dezi saw with his own eyes how his prince did his homework yesterday. When he saw him running out so happily, his face was full of disbelief.
"Your Highness, has His Majesty been fooled by your trick?"
"certainly!"
"Even if the old man finds out, so what? He didn't say we can't write like that!"
"this……"
Just as the two were about to walk out of the Qianqing Palace, a eunuch suddenly stopped him.
"Third Prince, His Majesty has ordered you to wait here for a moment. He will take you to see someone in a moment!"
"ah?"
On the other hand, after finishing his breakfast, Old Zhu picked up Zhu Yunhuan's homework and glanced at it, and he saw the trick in it.
"This rebellious grandson..."
"Remember this beating today for now, and we'll deal with him when we have time later!"
Old Zhu threw his homework into the brazier with a wry smile, then strode out of the hall and sat directly on his sedan chair.
Zhu Yunhuan was sitting anxiously on the steps outside the palace waiting, when he suddenly saw Old Zhu waving at him.
"come over!"
"Let's take you to see someone!"
Seeing that Old Zhu looked in good spirits, Zhu Yunhuan became bolder. He ran over and sat on Old Zhu's lap.
"Grandpa Huang, who are you taking me to see?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
The sedan chair carried the two people through the Hongwu Gate and all the way to the Wulong Bridge outside the palace gate. Only then did Zhu Yunhuan see dozens of people standing on the other side of the bridge.
These people were all wearing exquisite armor and riding on tall horses.
When he saw himself and Lao Zhu coming, he immediately dismounted and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, I, Lan Yu, greet you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang put Zhu Yunhuan on the ground and patted him on the shoulder.
"go!"
"Greet your great uncle!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan hurriedly walked up to Lan Yu and bowed to him.
When Lan Yu first saw his nephew sitting on Lao Zhu's lap, he was already moved to tears. Now that he saw that his superior was so considerate and even let the child come to greet him, his tears could not be stopped.
Although he knew clearly that this was Zhu the Butcher's way of winning people's hearts and his purpose was to make him work for the Zhu family, at this moment he still enjoyed it and had no regrets .
This Zhu the Butcher really understood him well and knew who he wanted to see most at this moment!
Lan Yu put down his other leg, knelt on both knees respectfully, and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The so-called armor makes it inconvenient to perform rituals, and is often just an excuse.
We are all going to work hard for your Zhu family, and you still dare to talk to us about those empty formalities. Isn't this nonsense?
But today, when Lan Yu knelt, he was convinced and filled with joy.
Because he was not working for Zhu the Butcher, but for his grandson!
"Your Majesty... I... I will go to the border and... I will fight to the death, wuwuwu..."
When Old Zhu heard this, a smug smile appeared on his face.
"I believe you this time, hahaha!"
When Lan Yu heard what Lao Zhu said, he felt uneasy and his face turned red with embarrassment.
What does the word "superior" mean? Didn't he believe it when we said it before?
Zhu Yunhuan heard the conversation between the two and looked at Lan Yu curiously and asked.
"Uncle, are you going to war?"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke mercilessly without waiting for Lan Yu to speak.
"What expedition? He's just returning to camp!"
"He threw tens of thousands of troops to the border and ran back alone!"
"Deserter!"
When Lan Yu heard what his nephew-grandson said, he looked at Lao Zhu with a depressed look on his face. Seeing this, Lao Zhu hurriedly said.
"You two can chat, I won't interrupt!"
Upon seeing this, Lan Yu frowned and scolded.
"What deserter? I didn't have time to ask for permission to come back and attend your father's funeral !"
"In the future, you must listen to your grandfather and study hard in the palace. In the future, you will become a man like your father!"
When Zhu Yunhuan heard this, he became dissatisfied. Why does everyone come to teach me? Why should I, Zhu Yunhuan, listen to others' nagging when doing things?
"Uncle, if you say so, then I have to give you a few words of advice."
"What?"
"Can you be more restrained when you go to the border this time? Don't beat up the imperial envoys and tear down the city gates?"
"I……"
"Also, if you win a battle, don't be proud. When you see the concubine of the Mongol Emperor, can you restrain yourself and give her some face?"
Lan Yu was completely stunned when he heard this. He only had such a small thing happen to him, and he told all of it to this kid?
"Up!"
"You are going too far. How old is Zhu Yunhuan? Why are you talking to him about this?"
When Old Zhu saw that his eldest grandson dared to teach Lan Yu a lesson, he almost died of laughter. Now seeing Lan Yu looking at him with a depressed face, he felt extremely happy.
You, old man Lan, have finally come to this day, hahaha!
"Lan Yu, we never told him about you, who knows where he heard it from!"
"Besides, everyone knows about the bad things you did. If it weren't for your past contributions, I would have killed you long ago. How could I let you, a scourge, stay here until today!"
"I……"
When Lan Yu heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, especially in front of his nephew and grandson, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to jump into the moat and drown.
"Your Majesty... I... I'm leaving now..."
After saying this, Lan Yu quickly got up from the ground, mounted his warhorse and fled with dozens of guards.
When Old Zhu saw the old man's behavior, he laughed again and then rubbed his eldest grandson's little head.
"As expected of our eldest grandson, you did a great job today!"
"After all these years, you are still the first person who can make Lan Yu lose face, hahahaha!"
"Tell us what you want to eat at noon, and we'll send someone to deliver it to you at noon. Just consider it a reward for you!"
