Chapter 64 Sweet Potatoes!

Forbidden City, East Palace.

During this period of time, the place seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, which made people a little breathless.

In the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Lu held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and was chanting sutras devoutly.

At this time, an elderly court lady walked up to Mrs. Lu's side with somewhat hasty steps, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, check it out!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, the rolling prayer beads in her hand stopped immediately: "Say it quickly!"

The maid hurriedly said: "Third Highness often goes out of the palace these days, and every time before going out, he goes to the old emperor to inform him, and then takes the old emperor's two guards out of the palace."

"Where did he go?" Mrs. Lu couldn't wait.

The maid replied: "He always goes to a Zhuangzi under Jubao Mountain."

"The Zhuangzi of Jubao Mountain?"

Lu Shi finally opened his eyes slowly, showing a puzzled look, and asked, "What is he doing there?"

"I don't know."

The maid shook her head: "Because there are two guards of the old emperor following each time, our people dare not get too close."

Lu continued to ask: "Then who is he going to find?"

"I haven't found out yet, because... because the Third Highness didn't go to other places after he entered, and stayed until he left. Our people tried to inquire, but found the guards of the old emperor, so they didn't dare to act rashly. !” The maid replied cautiously.

"waste!"

Mrs. Lu couldn't help cursing, and asked with a frown, "That's all?"

The maid hurriedly said: "Also... and we found out that the Zhuangzi should belong to the old emperor, and the old emperor used to go there often!"

"The emperor's Zhuangzi?"

Mrs. Lu showed a thoughtful look, and whispered: "What is the third child doing there? Playing? Relaxing? Farming?"

Mrs. Lu couldn't figure it out, but she let go of her hanging heart.

Because if it was just going to the old emperor Zhuangzi, then she would feel relieved.

There was such a situation before, the king of Qi, Zhu Yu, was sent back to his hometown in Fengyang by the old emperor, so that he could receive education in farm life.

Zhu Yunxi's situation is probably similar.

This instead shows one thing, the emperor did not train Zhu Yunxi as a prince.

Because if he was trained as a prince, the emperor should not let him go out of the palace often, but bring him by his side, teach him by precept and example, and gradually participate in the management of state affairs.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the maid next to her, "Let our people stop following the third child."

If the emperor finds out, it will not be worth the loss.

Because in this way, her virtuous and virtuous image that has been carefully cultivated for so many years will collapse, and she will be considered a mean woman by the emperor.

It's over by then.

She herself doesn't care, she is afraid that if her son is involved, then there will be a catastrophe...

Since being rejected by the old emperor that day, the Lu family stepped out of the East Palace for the first time.

She is going to the university hall to see.

Mottled tree shadows are projected on the red palace wall.

Lu's footsteps on the bluestone slab became much lighter. These days, he was indeed suspicious. How could the third child who had been suppressed by him intentionally or unintentionally, and looked down upon by him, change overnight?

What Wen'er said was right, no matter who you lose to, you won't lose to Zhu Yunxi!
I have to tell Wen'er the news as soon as possible, so that Wen'er can rest at ease and study...

……

"Meet the Crown Princess!"

At the entrance of the university hall, the guards and palace servants saw Mrs. Lu and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"You wait here, I will come to see the grandson of the emperor studying!"

After Zhu Xiongying died, her Wen'er could justifiably be called the grandson of the emperor.

Mrs. Lu said a few words to the palace people behind her, and then walked towards the school alone.

Now it's autumn, and the autumn air is crisp, and the afternoon sun is less scorching and more gentle.

Looking in from the window of the school, you can see those young princes, one by one, stumbling around, scratching their heads and scratching their ears, or nibbling at the end of their pens, looking like they are wandering away...

"Humph--"

Lu's gaze swept across Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest sons, and he snorted softly.

That gaze, scanning slowly, finally landed on the middle seat in the front row of the school. The young man in the seat was sitting upright, with his back straight, listening to the teacher's lecture intently.

In an instant, that originally disdainful gaze became soft and full of pride.

"Good son!"

A smile appeared on Lu's face unconsciously.

For a while, Mrs. Lu was bewildered.

She is proud and fortunate that she has an obedient and sensible son, and this son is the meaning of her life!
She would do anything for her son.

Just looking at it, I heard today's teacher Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar, say loudly: "This time, the best completion of the class is the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi, and... the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi, especially the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi, has made great progress. Sir, you princes, you should learn a lot from the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi..."

Lu Shi, who was watching from outside the house, gradually froze on his originally smiling face.

Zhu Yunxi?
The old emperor will give you some sunshine, and you will really shine!

Your grandpa took you to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to let you learn how to be a virtuous king who cares about the people. You don’t really think that you have a chance, do you?

It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't even know how old you are!
Thinking in Lu's heart, her gaze gradually became sharp...

"Okay, get out of class!"

As Liu Sanwu's voice fell, there was a burst of cheers in the school.

But soon, the cheers stopped abruptly, because Mrs. Lu walked in.

"I've seen the princess and concubine!" Liu Sanwu hastily bowed and saluted.

"Xueshi Liu, hurry up and get rid of the ceremony!"

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "I came this time to see the princes and grandchildren studying. I just heard that Xing'er has made great progress. I am so happy!"

"Mother!"

Zhu Yunqi hurried up to meet him.

Mrs. Lu nodded to Zhu Yunxuan, then looked at Zhu Yunxi who was standing aside, smiled and waved: "Xiao'er, come here!"

Zhu Yunxi walked over as he said.

Mrs. Lu rubbed Zhu Yunxi's head with a smile, and said: "Xiao'er, you have made progress, and you are really happy as a mother. From now on, don't fight with others anymore, but don't be afraid if you are bullied. Mother will seek justice for you!"

Zhu Yunxi was overwhelmed by the sudden concern, so he nodded.

However, Mrs. Lu put away her smile, looked at the other princes, and said in a deep voice: "Who hit our family's Xi'er last time, stand up and apologize to Xi'er!"

King Shen and the others were startled.

Didn't the emperor teach you a lesson last time?Why are you still here!

It's not over, is it?
A look of impatience suddenly appeared on the faces of the little princes in their teens.

"King Shen! King An! King Tang! Do you want me to ask your mother and concubine to sue you?"

Mrs. Lu began to roll the roll, which left the young princes speechless.

If they really complained to their mother and concubine, they might have to be beaten up again!
In desperation, Shen Wang Zhu Mo had no choice but to take the lead and walked forward, glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and reluctantly said:
"sorry!"

"sorry!"

The other little princes also had no choice but to apologize, but each of them made their voices a little longer, and resentment flashed in Zhu Yunxi's eyes.

A smile flashed in Lu's eyes...

……

Beijing Normal University, Chang'an Street.

The streets are crowded with people, all kinds of people are busy...

The old and the young are walking side by side.

"Look, how lively it is!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said to Huang Xiongying beside him: "When we were young, our village was nothing but mountains. If we could have such a lively scene, we would be so happy!"

Huang Xiongying said with a smile: "Grandpa, you have to think this way. Fortunately, there was no such a lively place at that time, otherwise you might not be who you are today!"

"Hey! Well said!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, with a look of loneliness on his face, and said: "But at this time, we still feel very uncomfortable. If our parents were still there, we would let our mother listen to the big show every day, and let our father drink and eat. Meat!"

Huang Xiongying said: "Grandpa, grandpa and grandma are alive in heaven, so they must be very pleased!"

"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, smiled again, looked at Huang Xiongying and said, "Dasun, we heard that you are very satisfied with the emperor's reward?"

Huang Xiongying nodded.

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more intense, and he said, "That's not what you said when you first read the list of rewards. Why, you changed your mind after seeing the real thing?"

Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "Yes and no."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a puzzled look, and asked, "How do you say that?"

Huang Xiongying replied: "When I saw the real thing, I found that there was one thing that did not match the list!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned all of a sudden, and murderous intent rose in his eyes: "Who is so bold? How dare you switch the rewarded items without permission?"

"Grandpa, that's not the case!"

Huang Xiongying shook his head and explained: "That item is not a package change, but a mistake by mistake, but it is precisely because of the mistake that my grandson is happy!"

"What is it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly curious.

What is it that went wrong that made his eldest grandson not even look at gold, silver and treasures, but only the wrong thing.

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "The ginseng on the reward list is actually not ginseng, because it is not ginseng at all!"

"what?"

The murderous intent in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes once again rose: "The barbarians are so courageous, how dare they lie to us... We Daming!"

"Grandpa, don't be impatient, listen to your grandson first."

Huang Xiongying comforted the agitated old man, and then said: "Although that thing is not ginseng, its value is higher than ginseng!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying suspiciously: "What is that?"

"Sweet potatoes!"
