Chapter 43 Two donkeys!
Zhu Yuanzhang was murderous in his heart, but his face was smiling:
"Why?"

Huang Xiongying said: "Because Lan Yu is a donkey, a stubborn donkey, in his heart he only recognizes Emperor Hongwu and Prince Zhu Biao, the prince Zhu Biao is Lan Yu's nephew, and he pleaded for Lan Yu several times, so Lan Yu is right. The prince is loyal."

"However, the crown prince is gone, and now only Emperor Hongwu can control the sapphire. Let me control it. It's hard to say, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with burning eyes.

I just heard Huang Xiongying say leisurely: "Unless, I am the blood of the former Crown Princess Chang's family!"

boom!
Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback by this sentence, and then asked, "Why?"

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had asked too much, and he could understand after a little thought.

Why?It's not because of blood problems!
The former concubine Chang's lineage is inextricably related to Lan Yu. Chang is the daughter of the famous founding general Chang Yuchun, and her mother is Lan Yu's elder sister.

Therefore, only those from the Chang family have a blood relationship with Sapphire.

Blood is thicker than water in China since ancient times.

Coupled with the relationship between Zhu Biao and Lan Yu during his lifetime, Lan Yu will only support the line of Chang's birth, and he is loyal.

Just like Huang Xiongying said, Sapphire is a stubborn donkey.

Once something is identified, it is difficult for ten cows to turn back.

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, only to hear Huang Xiongying say: "Because Lan Yu's heart is only loyal to the lineage of the former princess Chang's family, if she has this identity, it will be much easier to control Lan Yu!"

"But... that's impossible! How could I be the grandson of the prince? Let alone the emperor!"

Huang Xiongying sneered.

impossible!

Not possible, but you are!
Haha, no matter how smart you are, grandson, you wouldn't have thought of this, would you?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little dark in his heart for some reason, but his face remained calm.

Just listen to Huang Xiongying continue:

"So I'm just talking casually. Sapphire is indeed a problem. Even if you read him a book this time and make him restrain himself, Emperor Hongwu might not let him go!"

"At most, it can only delay his death, let's see what can be done later!"

"If he still doesn't know how to restrain himself, doesn't understand the current situation, doesn't know how to take the initiative to resign and return to his hometown, then he has to blame himself, no wonder others!"

Huang Xiongying sighed lightly.

However, the murderous aura in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart gradually dissipated.

Originally, Sapphire had already stabbed him in the heart, and he was almost determined to kill Sapphire.

But now, he wants to give Lan Yu another chance.

It is also to give his eldest grandson a chance. If his eldest grandson can completely control Sapphire, then he will leave Sapphire to serve his eldest grandson. If not, he will kill the weeds!

Sapphire, sapphire, we've given you a chance, you have to make good use of it.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart, and said to Huang Xiongying: "Okay, let's stop here, I promise you, I will follow your method to buy a copy of sapphire, and beat him well. As for whether he can understand, it is up to you." It's up to him!"

"Also, don't leak a word of what we two said today, understand?"

"Of course!"

Huang Xiongying nodded, slandering in her heart: You didn't tell me to say it, otherwise I wouldn't be bothered to say these beheading words!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked outside. After a while, Yoyo said to Huang Xiongying:

"Da Sun, weeding is very tiring. Let's weed out all the weeds and hand over a clean field to you. You have to take care of these fields for us!"

At this time, Huang Xiongying couldn't understand the deep meaning in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and said quickly:
"No need, Grandpa, you are so old, it should be time for you to enjoy the blessings, how dare your grandson make you so tired? These weeds, grandson can handle it by himself!"

"Not tired!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "We've been working so hard all our lives, so I'll clean it up for you while our bones are still moving!"

"grandfather……"

"Okay, stop talking, it's settled!"

After being interrupted by the old man, Huang Xiongying didn't say any more, but his heart warmed up, as if seeing his grandfather from the previous life.

Grandpas in the world are probably like this. They have been busy all their lives, and when they get old, they still worry about their children and grandchildren. Just like in the song, the old man does not want his children to make much contribution to the family.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, with a smile on his face.

"Okay, we've eaten and talked, it's time for us to go back, there are a lot of things at home waiting for us to have a headache!"

"Grandpa, you should take good care of your body, don't get tired!"

Every time the old man went back, he would talk about a lot of things at home, and Huang Xiongying could tell that the old man was busy enough, as could be seen from his bloodshot eyes, so he reminded him aloud.

"Ah--"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed lightly: "Our body is stiff!"

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "No matter how tough you are, you are over 60, but don't always think that you are still as capable as a young guy. We will be filial to you for a long time in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "If you are really filial, marry us a daughter-in-law quickly and give birth to a big fat boy!"

Huang Xiongying smiled and stopped talking.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, then strode out...

……

And at this time, the Xu Mansion.

The three brothers Xu Zuhui, Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou were also greeting a distinguished guest. (Reminded by readers, Xu Da was dead at this time, so I changed it)
It was none other than Concubine Guo Hui.

Concubine Guo Hui's sudden visit caught the three brothers by surprise, and they also wondered why Concubine Guo Hui came here.

After some chat.

Concubine Guo Hui smiled and said: "Your sister Miaojin has reached Jiji's age this year, right?" Years old, but for the needs of the plot, I can only change it...)
"Back to your mother, Sister She just turned fifteen this year."

The one who answered was Xu Zuhui. As the eldest of Xu Da's eight children, he inherited his father's title of Duke of Wei, and at the same time he was in charge of the military governor's office in the court.

He is eight feet five inches tall, handsome and talented, so he is highly regarded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In addition to Xu Tianfu who died early, Xu Da's other two sons, Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou, were also reused by the court, and several daughters were also married to the prince's son and grandson, except of course Xu Miaojin.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang did not treat Xu Da's lineage badly at all, on the contrary, he gave preferential treatment and reuse.

Therefore, the unofficial history said that Zhu Yuanzhang sent roast goose to kill Xu Da, which should be nonsense.

At this moment, the three brothers have vaguely guessed the purpose of Concubine Guo Hui's visit.

really.

Concubine Guo Hui smiled and said: "Let's not go around in circles anymore, we are here this time to talk about a marriage with your sister Miaojin."

"Oh?"

Xu Zuhui said curiously: "I don't know which son or prince the empress wants to marry?"

"Um……"

Concubine Guo Hui thought for a moment, then smiled wryly, and said, "It's not convenient for us to reveal the identity of that person for the time being!"

"what?"

The three brothers of the Xu family showed a surprised expression.

You can't even reveal your identity, what kind of relative are you talking about!
Concubine Guo Hui glanced at the three brothers, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will never treat your sister badly, that child is not only handsome and powerful, but also has a very good family background, and that child is very intelligent, just like your Miao Jin Very good match!"

The reason why Concubine Guo Hui came to Xu's family in such a hurry to say goodbye was not only because of the emperor's confession, but also because Xu Miaojin was smart, well-read and sensible since she was a child, and she liked her very much. Moreover, she had asked someone to calculate the horoscopes of Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaojin. It is a combination of yin and yang, a match made in heaven.

There is another important reason, that is, she heard that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Zhu Yunqi, the emperor's grandson, are both interested in Xu Miaojin.

So she stopped procrastinating and just made a reservation first.

Hearing Concubine Guo Hui's words, Xu Zuhui showed embarrassment, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I'll tell you the truth, we can't make up our minds about our sister Miaojin's marriage!"

Concubine Guo Hui was startled, and said: "Eldest brother is the father, why can't he be the master?"

Xu Zuhui smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Our sister Miaojin has been spoiled and spoiled by us since she was a child. Although she has a delicate mind, she is also very stubborn. If she doesn't want to do something, there is nothing we can do about it! "

What Xu Zuhui said was the truth. In history, Xu Miaojin was intelligent, well-read poetry and books, but cold-tempered and had his own thoughts.

It can be seen from her refusal to become Zhu Di's queen, and finally shaved her hair to become a nun.

Concubine Guo Hui frowned slightly upon hearing this.

After thinking for a while, Concubine Guo Hui said, "Is Miss Miaojin at home? Why don't you call her out?"

Xu Zuhui showed bitterness again, and said: "Go back to your mother, Miao Jin...she asked Emperor Yunwen's grandson to call into the palace, saying that she wanted to study poetry and songs with Miao Jin!"

"Oh--"

Concubine Guo Hui showed a dazed look, and then said: "In that case, let's go back first!"

"My lady, go slowly."

The three brothers of the Xu family hurriedly got up and saw each other off...

……

At the gate of Xu Mansion.

Seeing the back of Concubine Guo Hui leaving, Xu Zengshou frowned and asked, "Brother, who do you think this Concubine Hui is proposing to marry?"

Xu Zuhui glanced at Xu Zengshou and said, "I guess it's the emperor's grandson Yunqi!"

"Not really."

Xu Zengshou raised his eyebrows: "If it's the emperor's grandson Yunqi, there's no reason for Concubine Hui not to reveal her identity. Besides, for such a big event, there's no reason for the Crown Princess not to come forward!"

Xu Zuhui replied indifferently: "In short, I think the most suitable for our sister is Huangsun Yunwen. The two are about the same age, and both love poetry and songs. They are a match made in heaven!"

"I don't think so."

Xu Zengshou once again put forward a different opinion: "Let me tell you, our sister doesn't like Huangsun Yunqi. After all these years, you still can't tell? She likes heroes like our father, not some weak scholars!"

"Oh?"

Xu Zuhui frowned: "Then who do you think is suitable for our sister?"

"King Yan!"

Xu Zengshou said the name without hesitation.

"Ha ha--"

Xu Zuhui laughed disdainfully, and said: "King Yan is Miao Jin's brother-in-law, if you ask Miao Jin to marry her brother-in-law, you will really consider for King Yan!"

Xu Zengshou was not annoyed, and said, "Didn't the old emperor also marry her sister-in-law? Why did King Yan..."

"Bullshit!"

Xu Zuhui cut off Xu Zengshou's words loudly: "The emperor's sage is comparable to King Yan?"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Xu Yingxu hurriedly stood up to smooth things over:
"Whether it's the king of Yan or the grandson of the emperor, Miao Jin has her own choice, so don't worry about the two of you!"

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Both Xu Zengshou and Xu Zuhui snorted coldly and walked away...

……

East Palace, in the garden.

"Miaojin, you're here!"

Zhu Yunwen saw a girl wearing a willow-green flower satin right lapel blouse and apricot-yellow silk horse-faced skirt walking towards her, she immediately smiled and greeted her with a smile.

The girl has willow eyebrows and almond eyes, her face is exquisite and exquisite, and her pair of watery eyes are looking forward to shine.

The person who came was naturally Xu Miaojin.

"The daughter of the people has met His Highness!"

Xu Miaojin bowed and bowed, Zhu Yunqi hurriedly said: "You don't have to be polite, how many times have I told you, don't call me Your Highness, just call me Yunqi!"

"Menwomen don't dare to mess with etiquette!"

Xu Miaojin frowned slightly, and replied seriously.

Although the two of them are about the same age, in terms of seniority, she is still older than Zhu Yunqi, and the status of Zhu Yunqi's grandson is still here.

Zhu Yunwen didn't care either, and said with a smile: "Miao Jin, I wrote a poem when I was with Grandpa Huang and my father some time ago, and I wanted to ask you to come and have a look, but it's a pity that my father passed away. I dare not go to you during this time, you don’t know how sad I am during this time, I can’t see you, I can’t see Grandpa Huang, I don’t know who to talk to..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen's smile disappeared, replaced by a look of loneliness.

"My condolences, Your Highness!"

Xu Miaojin nodded slightly.

"Hey, look at me, really!"

Zhu Yunwen scratched his head: "You are so happy to come here, but I tell you these sad things, you really deserve to be beaten!"

Xu Miaojin just watched with a smile on her face, not knowing how to answer.

"Come on, I'll take you to the study room to read the poems I wrote, and you can give me some advice to see if I write well!"

Zhu Yunwen showed a bright smile, with anticipation that couldn't be hidden.

Xu Miaojin nodded with a smile.

Zhu Yunqi hurriedly led the way...

When the two came to the study, Zhu Yunqi excitedly took out his poem, bowed slightly, and handed it to Xu Miaojin with both hands respectfully.

"This is a poem by student Zhu Yunqi, teacher Xu Miaojin please enlighten me!"

The corner of Xu Miaojin's mouth twitched slightly, and then read softly:

"Who will pinch the jade nails to break the marks in the sky. The shadow falls to the bottom of the cold pool, and fish and dragons dare not swallow it."

Hearing Xu Miaojin's pleasant voice, Zhu Yunqi didn't know whether he was excited or shy, a faint blush appeared on his white and tender face, and asked:

"How about it?"

Xu Miaojin nodded with a smile, and said: "Of course the poems written by Your Highness are excellent. Who doesn't know that Your Highness is a great talent in my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunqi was even more excited when he heard it, and looked at Xu Miaojin with burning eyes: "Miaojin, guess what I wrote?"

Xu Miaojin tried her best to maintain a smile, and said, "Yueyaer."

"That's right, that's right!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and said: "Miao Jin is really smart, what I wrote was exactly the crescent moon that night!"

When it came to poetry, Xu Miaojin suddenly thought of something, and said, "Your Highness, I also have a poem here, how about you help me see it?"

"Yeah!"

Zhu Yunqi danced with excitement as if he had met a bosom friend.

Xu Miaojin picked up the pen on the desk, dipped it in the ink, and began to write on the paper spread out on the desk, slowly writing in graceful characters.

Zhu Yunwen read softly beside him: "The dark plum smells the flowers, and the lying branches hurt the bottom. The distant smell is like water, and it is easy to see spring green, and the shore is like green, and the shore is like green, and the shore is like dark green!"

Xu Miaojin was slightly taken aback when she heard the sound.

Why does it sound weird?

She got the booklet from Chan'er that day, and there was a poem and a song in it. The song shocked her, but she still couldn't understand the poem.

Always feel that something is wrong?
A person who can write such a song that even shocked her is a god, why not write a poem that doesn't make sense?

She read it several times, but still didn't understand.

Is it because my knowledge is not enough?

So just now when Zhu Yunqi was talking about poetry, she thought of this poem, and wanted Zhu Yunqi to take a look at it, what was going on?

But when Zhu Yunwen read it just now, it sounded weird.

"Your Highness, can you read it again?"

"of course can!"

How could Zhu Yunqi refuse Xu Miaojin's request, and immediately picked up the poem written on the table, and read aloud: "The dark plum smells the flowers, and the lying branches hurt the bottom. It is heard from afar that it is like water, and it is easy to reach spring green. The shore is green, the shore is green, the shore is dark green!"

"Pfft!"

As soon as Zhu Yunqi finished reading, Xu Miaojin suddenly couldn't help laughing.

She got it!
She finally understands!
From the very beginning, I had preconceived that it was a good poem, and I had been delving into its meaning, and I was concentrating on it when I read it, without thinking about other aspects at all.

Now from the standpoint of a bystander, listening to Zhu Yunxuan read it aloud, she finally understood.

It turns out that this is a deceitful poem!
Hearing Zhu Yunxuan's serious reading aloud, Xu Miaojin couldn't bear it anymore, covered her mouth and laughed.

It was the first time for Zhu Yunqi to see Xu Miaojin laughing so happily, and he was so happy that he wanted to take off, thinking that he just read it well to make Xu Miaojin laugh, and immediately read aloud again in a louder voice:
"The dark plum smells the flowers, and the branches hurt the bottom. It smells like water, and it is easy to see spring green, and the shore is like green, and the shore is like green, and the shore is like black green!"

It also made the ending too long.

"Haha, does it sound good? I'll read it again if it sounds good!"

Xu Miaojin just wanted to tell Zhu Yunqi not to read...

And right now.

pat!

There was a sound of something falling from the door of the study.

The two turned their heads quickly when they heard the sound, Zhu Yunqi's smiling face froze immediately, and Xu Miaojin frowned all of a sudden.

I saw the Crown Princess Lu's standing at the door of the study with a livid face...
