Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 59 Before leaving

My precious grandson is going to Peiping, which makes Lao Zhu very reluctant.

After the baby's eldest grandson was born, he has been under Lao Zhu's nose almost all the time.To say that the only time they were apart was when Zhu Xiongying returned to his hometown in Fengyang to worship his ancestors last year.

But that time, there was also Zhu Xiongying with the prince, so Lao Zhu naturally had nothing to worry about.But this time it was different, this time Zhu Xiongying went to Peiping alone, and this child was needed to be alone and sit in charge.

While peeling crabs for Old Zhu, Zhu Xiongying said, "Grandfather, what's so sentimental. My grandson has gone to Peiping this time, and I guess he will come back every two or three months."

This time Lao Zhu was a little dissatisfied, and said, "Come back in two or three months? What kind of talk is that!"

"Come back to celebrate the New Year. Grandpa Huang is here. How can the grandson celebrate the New Year in Beiping alone." Zhu Xiongying said naturally, "Grandpa Huang, let's talk about it now. If there is a war or something, that's fine. Otherwise, other festivals are fine, we have to be together during Chinese New Year."

Old Zhu looked disgusted, and said angrily, "You, you are not a child anymore, the state affairs..."

Zhu Xiongying was not polite, and asked directly, "Grandfather, can you just say whether it will be successful or not? If it is not successful, then I will not come back this year!"

Zhu Biao smiled and ate crabs with rice wine, that is to say, his precious son had the courage and treatment.For example, to interrupt the emperor's words, it's neither soft nor hard to make some soft nails.

Old Zhu thought for a while, and still said, "If you don't want to part with Yingtian Mansion's prosperity and don't worry about your younger siblings, then come back for the New Year."

"It doesn't matter whether Yingtian Mansion is prosperous or not." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, and he didn't feel disgusted. "It's true that my grandson is reluctant to part with my younger siblings, but it's also true that my grandson is also reluctant to part with Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang, remember to give me an order in the twelfth lunar month, and grandson will return to Beijing in a legitimate way."

Old Zhu said angrily, "I gave you those imperial edicts, but you don't know how to use them?! If your two imperial sisters go to Peiping according to the edicts, see how we will deal with you then!"

This made Zhu Xiongying a little embarrassed, as there really were no secrets in the imperial city, not to mention Zhu Xiongying didn't intend to keep a low profile.

Zhu Biao was a little annoyed, and said, "Father, this child is spoiled by you. His younger brothers and sisters are so hard to show him. With his father and sons and ministers, which of his younger brothers and sisters can bear it?" Wronged?"

Old Zhu snorted coldly, and said, "Do you think we are old and confused? Mrs. Lu's careful thoughts these years can't be hidden from our eyes, that child Yunxi. It's fine, Yunxi can be a rich prince with peace of mind in the future, we It is estimated that Ying'er is also reluctant to let him run away."

Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed. In fact, he could see some of Lu's careful thoughts over the years.

It seems that Zhu Yunxi is well taken care of, but Zhu Yunxi is not good at studying, so he can only eat, drink and have fun.In fact, to put it bluntly, this child is no longer supported. He is a good player at eating, drinking and playing. He has no patience, perseverance, ambition and determination. He is a rather mediocre child.

But Zhu Yunqi is different. He is a grandson who is refined and good at reading in the eyes of many people.If it weren't for Zhu Xiongying's bright moon in the sky, maybe someone would have noticed Zhu Yunqi's existence.

After all, in the eyes of some civil servants, Zhu Yunqi is more in line with what they think a model dragon son and grandson should look like.Zhu Yunqi's image, in some people's eyes, is more like the prince Zhu Biao.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying gnawing on the crab, Lao Zhu thought it was funny, "No wonder some people look down on you. Tell me, you are our grandson. You have no royal dignity at all. This crab has What delicious food!"

"Grandson just likes this mouthful. Rice wine goes well with crab." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Besides, grandson doesn't need to pretend in front of the emperor's grandfather. But in front of other people, grandson's manners are not bad. .”

Zhu Xiongying was about to leave for Peiping, so Lao Zhu was naturally very reluctant.It's just that when the child grows up, he will eventually go out to practice.

What's more, there are a lot of things going on right now, no matter how reluctant Lao Zhu is, he can only let go at this time.

Don't say that this is the responsibility that the descendants of the royal family should bear. Even for ordinary families, children must go out to practice when they grow up. It is impossible to really be in front of their parents all the time.

The grandparents and grandchildren nestled in the Qianqing Palace, and this was also a small group member before parting.At least for Lao Zhu, the children and grandchildren in front of him are the people he cares about most.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lao Zhu said, "Biao'er goes back to the East Palace, Ying'er will stay with us. Tomorrow, Biao'er will go to govern. Our Ying'er has grown up, so we won't send him off." .”

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Is there anything to give away, anyway, I will be back soon. The father should not give it away, and the son will leave with his own troops."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then complained a little, "Father, Yinger is going to Beiping tomorrow. I was thinking about going back to the East Palace to talk to Yinger, but Father let him stay in Qianqing Palace. "

"When do you father and son want to talk and don't have time!" Lao Zhu said angrily, "It has to be tonight? Our grandson is going to Beiping, so what if we talk with you?"

Zhu Biao is also not afraid of Lao Zhu's temperament, so he is even more depressed, "Father, since Yinger was born, she has been raised by her mother. Over the years, Yinger has also been close to Father. I don't have so much time to talk to Yinger. Many. It’s the father.”

"Get lost!" Old Zhu said impatiently, "We won't go to court tomorrow, so you can go."

Zhu Biao did have reason to be depressed, mainly because his eldest son was treated unusually after he was born, basically he was raised by the queen.Over the years, his son has always followed the emperor.

Naturally, Zhu Biao doesn't need to worry about falling out of favor, but to be honest, Zhu Biao sometimes feels that his eldest son is too sensible.I also feel that his eldest son is really different from his second, third, and fourth sons.

Not only the treatment and status are different, but also his eldest son is outrageous since he was a child, and he is very different from ordinary children.

At this time, Lao Zhu didn't pay much attention to whether his prince was unbalanced, even if he knew it, he didn't really care.After all, this is about his eldest grandson, and Lao Zhu doesn't mind wronging his precious prince a little bit.

Watching Zhu Biao leave, Zhu Xiongying said, "Wang Chengen, let someone take care of you."

After saying this, Zhu Xiongying said to Lao Zhu, "Grandpa Huang, this grandson is helping Grandpa Huang wash his feet. In the future, Grandpa Huang must remember that if the grandson is not with him, he must rest earlier and not continue to suffer. This Shuangquan was trained by the grandson to serve the emperor's grandfather to rest."

A young eunuch quickly knelt down, prostrating on the ground, not daring to speak.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Shuangquan is my grandson's eyeliner. If Shuangquan says that Grandpa Huang is not resting well, grandson will have to nag when he comes back."

Old Zhu laughed and cursed, "It's just that you are so bold that you dare to put eyeliner in front of us. You silly boy, even if you want to put eyeliner, you will keep silent."

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that Grandpa Huang will punish him?" Zhu Xiongying took off Lao Zhu's shoes with a smile, and then said, "We don't care about the affairs of the court, and Shuangquan just stares at Grandpa Huang to sleep, eat, and rest."

Lao Zhu was not unhappy at all, and it could even be said that he felt very ironic in his heart.After all these years, now it is the emperor's grandson who dares to take care of Lao Zhu's life.

"Ying'er, don't be so busy, let's iron our feet together." Old Zhu helped Zhu Xiongying up, and said with a smile, "Wash our feet, just to make it easier. We still like to iron our feet with Yinger, and it's okay now When I think of the cold weather and no one to accompany us to burn our feet, I feel uncomfortable."

While taking off his shoes and socks, Zhu Xiongying said, "It's time to let the father come over."

"That's impossible. You are our grandson, and it makes sense for us to spoil you." Old Zhu stepped on Zhu Xiongying's feet with his big feet, and said, "It makes a difference whether Biao'er is our son. Folks also say hug Sun does not have children, so do we."

Zhu Xiongying suddenly said, "It would be great if the emperor's grandmother was here. My grandson remembers that when I was young, it was the emperor's grandmother who took care of our daily life. In the past, the emperor's grandfather took the grandson to wash his feet, and the emperor's grandmother was always nagging. Fearing that it would be hot, Grandpa Huang stepped on his grandson's feet and scalded his feet into red hooves."

Old Zhu also had some nostalgia. He looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "It's good to burn your feet. We used to fight wars. We didn't eat well and didn't wear warm clothes, so we like to burn our feet. Once your feet are warm, your body will be warm."

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted about the daily life, just like ordinary people.
