Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 720

For Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing, what Xu Miaoqing said made them unable to calm down, and they were even a little flustered now.

Compared with elder brothers and younger brothers, even as a daughter-in-law, she is actually not valued as much as a man.They are very clear that their father is patriarchal, which can be said to be an undisguised attitude.

But over the years, even though some princesses seem to be ignored, Lao Zhu never treats the princess harshly.Occasionally, I still love them a little bit, and I don't allow others to bully these princesses, which is very important for their protection.

But no matter what, their father is not too bad, at least let them have no worries about food and clothing, and their status is detached.And even if they are married, not only their own life is guaranteed, but their children don't need to worry about their future.

It can be said that being able to have such a background and such a father is definitely their pride.

Xu Miaoqing also knew this, and said to the two imperial aunts, "In fact, these days, the emperor's grandfather is not in good spirits. I went to Xiaoling a few days ago, and I had some ideas."

Princess Ningguo sighed, and said, "The courtiers and concubines can also understand that the father misses the queen mother and the emperor's brother the most. Now that your majesty can control the court, to say something disrespectful, if it weren't for your majesty and the prince these years, the father would You might have lost your temper."

Princess Anqing sighed, and said, "We also know about these things, and the big guys have also said something in private. A while ago, His Majesty insisted on going to Xiaoling, and many people knew it in their hearts. That’s great, that’s just holding on.”

"Your Majesty and Grandpa Huang have been dependent on each other for so many years. It is said that Grandpa Huang is honorable to His Majesty, and His Majesty has a lot of admiration for Grandpa Huang." Xu Miaoqing said, "The two aunts also know His Majesty's temperament, and Grandpa Huang has a lot of admiration for him." Generally, the most important thing is family affection. His Majesty doesn't care much about things that the court says."

These are also facts. Many people say that Emperor Hongwu is domineering, but how could Emperor Yingshi be that kind of weak person?

Especially Princess Anqing, who watched Zhu Yunying grow up, knows that Yinger is just like his father and brother in his bones, but that kind of domineering and decisive temperament is the kind of temperament that cannot be questioned. This is the old Zhu family. The character of the family.

"Now that Yin'er is in Qianqing Palace, it's better to be with Grandpa Huang all day long." Xu Miaoqing sighed and said, "It's just that we also know that when Yin'er goes to the school grounds and Daben Hall, Grandpa Huang doesn't think about it." Talk, don't want to move. In the final analysis, Yin'er is too young, doesn't know many things, and can't take care of Grandpa Huang well."

Everyone didn't know this truth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as smart as today's son, this is an ordinary child.Even if the elite education made him more sensible than other children, he really didn't understand a lot of truths. It would be unrealistic to expect him to take good care of Lao Zhu.

The real situation is that the elderly and frail old Zhu is taking care of little Zhu.These are bound to have a certain burden on Lao Zhu.

But there is no way, no one dares to say that if the emperor and empress take the prince back to educate him personally, otherwise it will definitely arouse Lao Zhu's fury, which is beyond doubt.

Almost all of Lao Zhu's fun now is probably taking care of and educating his precious great-grandson.If he didn't see his little great-grandson for a day, the cruel and domineering Emperor Hongwu would be very disturbed.

After going through too many things, the current Emperor Hongwu is indeed afraid, and he can no longer accept some things.

Xu Miaoqing and the two imperial aunts are also discussing some things now, and some things should indeed be done by them, which is also the responsibility they must bear.

The emperor now has to deal with the affairs of the court, even if he cares about the Supreme Emperor, he can't do everything himself.So some things fell on the Queen's shoulders, and some of his elders needed to help.

In fact, many people also know that Lao Zhu's health is not very good, but at this time, people and children naturally need to shoulder some of their responsibilities.

This is also because there is no problem with the change of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty. If it is an ordinary dynasty, when the emperor is about to die, there is probably a murderous atmosphere inside and outside the palace, and many people are planning something one by one.

But the Ming Dynasty didn't need to care about these things. Emperor Yingshi absolutely didn't worry about his uncles appearing in the palace, nor did he worry about what other thoughts his relatives had. Those things didn't need to be taken care of at all.

"What we mean, let's go to talk to Grandpa Huang first, and have a meal together." Xu Miaoqing said, "Grandpa Huang's temperament is well known to the aunts. Just to say a few words, we children and grandchildren also I can only bear it."

Princess Anqing quickly said, "Don't worry about the empress. These days, the concubines will go to the palace a few more times. The concubines also grew up in front of their father and mother, and they are somewhat respectable."

If these words were spoken by other people, it might not be convincing, but for Princess Anqing, there is no big problem.

Compared with her brothers, she may not be so favored.But in the final analysis, this is also Lao Zhu's youngest direct child, so naturally he has some preferential treatment, and this is also the last child that Empress Ma personally took care of.

"Your Majesty will probably come over at that time." Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the concubines are not doing well, and many concubines, younger siblings are not familiar with them, and I am afraid that the two imperial aunts will need to help. "

Speaking of which, Xu Miaoqing, Princess Anqing, and Princess Ningguo have also known each other since childhood, but it is different now, it is completely a change of identity.Leaving aside the change of seniority, the difference between monarch and minister is even more clear at this time, and there is no need for any complaints.

Princess Ningguo was older after all, and said, "The concubine also feels that Fifth Brother is also a patriarchal order after all. If other brothers enter the palace, it is also a good thing for Fifth Brother to be there."

Xu Miaoqing smiled immediately, seeming to be very pleasantly surprised, "Aunt Huang is still thoughtful, we have not thought of these things after all. In this way, Uncle Wu Huang will be tired."

Princess Ningguo smiled and didn't say much. She felt that the queen should have thought of some things, but it was just not easy to say.

Although there is no change in the change of imperial power now, but the matter is related to the Supreme Being, which means that it is not too much to be careful.It's not necessarily that they are worried about causing much turmoil, but they just don't want some troubles to arise.

So at this time, the importance of King Zhu of Zhou is also reflected. The identity of the patriarchal order is not mentioned for the time being. The 'little son' that Zhu loves and hates.

While speaking, Xu Miaoqing and the others walked towards Qianqing Palace under the guard of some maids and eunuchs.

Outside the palace gate, Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "Go and pass on the message, and say that the concubine is asking to see you."

This is also a very normal thing, even if Xu Miaoqing is Lao Zhu's granddaughter-in-law, if he wants to see Lao Zhu, he needs to ask to see him.The eunuchs and guards serving in front of Qianqing Palace would not allow Xu Miaoqing to enter the palace without their will.

Those who do not need a pass to enter the Qianqing Palace directly are the emperor and the prince.If those two were stopped, not only those two might do it directly, but His Majesty the Supreme Emperor would not spare those 'conscientious' guards.

The little eunuch immediately went to Qianqing Palace to report, and Shuangquan came out soon, "Your Highness, the Empress is resting, Your Highness, go back."

"Big Companion, go and report again, the two imperial aunts are also here." Xu Miaoqing said, "Your Majesty will come over after finishing his political affairs."

Princess Anqing immediately said, "That's right, we still have some things to talk to Father."

What else could Shuangquan say, in fact, he certainly knew that the two eldest princesses were coming, but His Majesty was absent, so what could he do?However, it is better to report it now, as it is a matter of today, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor may just have some ideas.

As expected, Shuangquan came to pass the decree soon, and Xu Miaoqing and the others were allowed to enter the palace.

Princess Anqing muttered, "We knew it! It was always like this when I was a child, everything is the most important thing on Yinger's side!"

Princess Ningguo tugged at her sister's sleeve, thinking that she shouldn't complain.It's not good to compare with anyone, if you insist on comparing with Brother Huang and Ying'er, you are making yourself unhappy.

Lao Zhu, who was lying on the seat, opened his eyes slightly, and said to Xu Miaoqing and the others who were saluting, "It's not a year, what's the matter with me? Empress, you should educate the third son of the emperor, not come to the Qing Palace .”

Xu Miaoqing hurriedly said, "Going back to the emperor's grandfather, the third son of the emperor can eat and sleep, and has endless energy all day long, making a fuss. A few days ago, His Majesty even had someone weigh him, and it weighed 23 catties."

Lao Zhu immediately smiled when he heard that, he was really happy, "That is really a big fat boy, let the prince bring him over in a few days, let us have a look. How about big fat boy, when our emperor was young fat."

Princess Anqing said, "That's not true! The queen mother raised Ying'er so well, she was fat and fat! Our Ying'er was sensible, well-behaved, and didn't cry when he was young. We remember that my uncle liked Ying'er in the early years. With such a thrifty temperament, I saw that Yinger didn't bring something when I took it back."

Old Zhu also laughed, and said, "If you say that my brother-in-law likes Yinger too. Yinger was like us when we were young, who wouldn't like it!"

After saying this, Lao Zhu looked at his two daughters and said, "The emperor was thinking about it, let you come here? Let's say, the child is good everywhere, but he likes to think about things since he was a child. I think we are running out of time." , let you come and talk to us?"

Princess Ningguo's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "Father, this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

Princess Anqing also hurriedly said, "Father, it was Qi'er who did some shopping a few days ago, and had a quarrel with the prince in the schoolyard, and my minister came to plead guilty in panic."

Lao Zhu waved his hand with a smile, and said to Xu Miaoqing, "We read the history books, and told the emperor not to bother. It's better to take care of his uncle and aunt, and don't bother them. "

"Grandfather, how does Sun Chen know about those things?" Xu Miaoqing said with a smile according to Zhu Yunying's teaching, "If Sun Chen can't figure out those important court affairs, don't think about them. His Majesty can handle them well. Sun Chen is coming here, too. It's just that Qi'er and the crown prince are having trouble. They are all cousins, and each of them has trouble today and tomorrow, and Sun Chen can't figure it out."

"Let them make trouble, the little thing is not as long as a stick, so much can happen." Lao Zhu said with a smile, "Speaking of it, the prince still likes to make trouble with his own family, and he is much less lazy with many honorable families. Reasonable. If you're not fighting with your brother, you're fighting with your cousin."

Princess Ningguo said while pouring tea for Lao Zhu, "It's the same reason. The three of our family don't worry about it. They know how to mess around when they are outside. That is to say, the crown prince can detain them. There seems to be something wrong with the soldiers, and the prince has also trained them."

Old Zhu smiled happily, and said, "The third child of your family is not good-looking, how can the army leave the battle position without authorization! This time when Ying Guogong returned to Beijing, the crown prince also intends to lead his clan and nobles there. Your elder brother Three, if you get stage fright, it’s not a trivial matter. When you go back, you have to mention something, we remember that Mei Yin also has some skills, if the son you teach is not a good one, it’s not a big deal!"

Although Lao Zhu was really not happy to see his children at first, it wasn't that he didn't want them, but he simply didn't want to bring any trouble to Zhu Yunying.But if the children had to stay here now, Lao Zhu would not be able to ruthlessly drive them away.

In fact, Lao Zhu also knew in his heart that his time was indeed numbered, so this might be the last time he saw his children.

Now as long as he can enter the Qianqing Palace, as long as he can survive the initial anxiety and nervousness, he can basically talk with Lao Zhu, and he will also get the smiling face and kindness that Lao Zhu may never have given him.

Of course, there are some prerequisites for this, that is, what you say must suit Lao Zhu's appetite. If you make Lao Zhu unhappy, you may be severely reprimanded by Lao Zhu.When it really comes to that time, most people really can't bear the pressure and can only leave in despair.

"Great-grandfather, we're back!" Little Zhu rushed over like a gust of wind, and was suddenly happy, "Aunt and grandma are here too? Shuangquan, go and call our cousins ​​here, they haven't had time to leave the palace yet."

Shuangquan acted immediately, without the emperor's will, the prince's will was the emperor's will.

Seeing the great-grandson who threw himself into his arms, Old Zhu kindly took out a handkerchief to help wipe away the sweat, "We owe you both father and son, we like to be quiet at our age, and you mess around as soon as you come back. You are alone It's not enough to make a fuss, and you called your cousin over, can we still live here?"

Little Zhu was not afraid, and said cheerfully, "Our second child has improved a bit, and can follow us on horseback."

Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing don't care about anything for a long time, the father's partiality has always been like this.It was like this before, it is like this now, I am used to it!
