Chapter 48 The Stubborn Zhu Yunxi
After Lao Zhu sent Qi Tai away, the excitement in his heart still could not be calmed down for a long time, and he even muttered to himself.

"God bless Daming, God bless Daming!"

Hearing Lao Zhu's excited words, Erhu's heart was also excited. This proves that His Majesty is not only dissatisfied with the emperor's eldest grandson, but also prefers the second emperor's grandson.

In fact, Lao Zhu did not like Zhu Yunwen very much.

First, this child is too weak, and this weakness is different from his father.

Zhu Biao looks weak because of his benevolence, but he is strong in his heart.But Zhu Yunqi is pure weakness, a kind of cowardice coming out of his bones.

Second, the child is less responsible.

Just by looking at his attitude towards his own younger brother, one can imagine how he will treat state affairs and how he will treat the princes and uncles.

Third, the child's biological mother is alive and well in her prime.

In history, there are precedents for the surname Lu's domination of power. If Zhu Yunqi is established, will he have to learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and let the mother leave the child?
And the gang of Huaixi old friends who followed me to fight the world, we have to pack them up and take them away before we die.Otherwise, Zhu Yunqi's soft nature would be bullied to death by these veterans.

That scourge of Lan Yu cannot be left behind, once he is left behind, he will be able to do such treasonous things as abolishing the emperor!
But if Zhu Yunxi is changed, all the problems above will not exist.

This child is stubborn and will never let anyone manipulate him.

Don't say that Mrs. Lu is just a stepmother, even his own uncle and grandpa can't control him at all!
It's just that the child is still too young and his body is weak, so he can't always make up his mind.

If, like his brother and his father, one died young and the other died young, who would bear it...

Therefore, he wanted to wait a little longer, wait until Zhu Yunxi was a few years older, and then set up a reserve.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu suddenly saw Erhu standing aside, and immediately felt a little guilty.

This guy listened to what we just said to ourselves, right?
"Ahem... Erhu, there are some things that should be said, and some things that should not be said, you know it well, kid?"

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we two tigers are loyal, and we will never do such things!"

Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

"It's great that you have such a heart, but we still have to remind you to stay away from the past military robes, especially stay away from the scourge of Sapphire!"

"promise!"

"Humble duty, remember His Majesty's instruction!"

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard Xu Xingzu's complaining voice from outside the hall.

"My lord, we can't continue with this job, you always have to pay me more..."

Old Zhu frowned when he heard this voice.

What's the matter with this old thing, why is it getting more and more out of shape?
"Bring him to see us!"

"Then you can do whatever you want, you don't have to stay here."

"promise!"

Not long after, Xu Xingzu was brought in by Erhu, and immediately cried poorly to Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, your grandson can eat so much, the money you gave to the imperial dining room is not enough at all!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was even more unhappy, and thought to himself how old Zhu Yunxi was, and how much he could eat, so why did he exaggerate like this.

"My lord, don't you believe me?"

"Humph!"

"Do you think we are three-year-olds?"

"Please look, my lord, this is the menu that His Royal Highness the Second Emperor just sent."

Lao Zhu took it impatiently and took a look. He was shocked by the densely packed dish names on it after just one glance.

"so much?"

"Let's say there are hundreds of dishes, we have never eaten so many dishes even if we have a big banquet!"

"This handwriting..."

Old Zhu also noticed Zhu Yunxi's handwriting that looked like a dog crawling, and seeing the typos all over the article, his old face darkened on the spot.

"Qi Tai is really right. This grandson really doesn't care about reading. Look at the writing of this word. It's useless to blind such a good golden flower and jade leaf paper from Chengxintang."

"Tomorrow, I have to send someone to tell Qi Tai, don't worry about anything else, let this grandson practice calligraphy for us!"

Lao Zhu complained about Dasun's dog crawling character, looked at the densely packed dish names again, and took a breath after reading a few.

"Hey, abalone, shark's fin, sea cucumber, bear paw, deer tail..."

"This grandson can do it, he can eat better than our emperor!"

"Where did he hear the names of these dishes? Our emperor has never heard of them. Could it be that little Ni Sun made them up?"

Xu Xingzu hurriedly shook his head when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty, don't say you haven't heard of it, it's just that this old servant has been cooking all his life, and there are many dishes whose names he has never heard of."

"But one thing is certain, that is, the names of these dishes are by no means made up, they should all be true."

"We haven't heard of it, it's just that we are ignorant and have little experience..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt a headache for no reason.

How old is this grandson, so he can pay attention to ostentation, if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will have a whole forest of wine and meat!

No, this wind cannot last forever!
"Eliminate all the expensive dishes above, choose a dozen or so common dishes, give more chicken, duck, goose, and mutton, add a big bone soup for the child, and add more rice. You must not rely on it." Play around with this kid's temper!"

"Hey!"

"With His Majesty's words, this old slave will know what to do!"

……

At dinner time, Prince's Mansion, Zhu Yunxi's small courtyard.

While rubbing his butt, Zhu Yunxi drooled at the stewed chicken with sour bamboo shoots on the table.

However, just when he wanted to move his chopsticks, he suddenly thought of a person.

The one who laughs at himself to everyone, the only one who doesn't laugh at himself.

A person who resolutely stepped forward to stand in front of him when everyone stood by and didn't even want to help him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, covered the tureen with the stewed chicken with sour bamboo shoots, and put it back into the food box.

After doing all this, Zhu Yunxi was half distressed, half proud to think that the second brother would surely cry to death seeing that he was so kind to him, right?

I just want to move him, let him cry to death, and then let him continue to stand up for me in the future, la la la...

Zhu Yunxi came to the second elder brother's small courtyard with a heavy food box. As soon as he entered the house, he threw Zhu Yunxi with the heavy food box in front of him.

"Zhu Yunxi, my mother and concubine made me stewed chicken with sour bamboo shoots again today. It's a pity that I have a bad appetite. It would be a waste to throw it away, so you can eat it for me!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard this, he knew that the grandson was a hard-boiled duck.

Obviously, I came to thank you, so I had to say it like alms.

"Would you like to stay and eat too?"

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed when he heard the words, but after he thought about his second brother's appetite, he felt that this bowl of stewed chicken was not enough for his second brother to eat alone, so he shouldn't join in the fun.

"Oh, why are you so troublesome!"

"Didn't I just say that I have no appetite today, so I brought it here for you."

Just as Zhu Yunxi was saying this, he suddenly heard the voice of an eunuch outside the door.

"His Royal Highness Zhu Yunxi, can we deliver dinner now?"

"Let's pass it on!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxie's words fell, more than a dozen eunuchs carrying food boxes filed in.

Plates of delicacies were served on the table, and any dish was more delicate and delicious than the stewed chicken I brought.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi saw this scene, his eyes turned red immediately, and he reached out to pick up the food box he had brought.

However, just as he was about to pick it up, he was held down by a hand.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunxi with a crying face, only feeling full of grievances in his heart.

Fortunately, I was still afraid that he would starve at night, so I didn't even want to eat, so I brought him dinner in a hurry.

It turns out that people have already had better ones, and they don't care about their own stewed chicken at all!

"What are you doing!"

"You have so much to eat, you must not be interested in what I sent, can I take it away and feed it to the dog?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the crying kid, smiled and patted his little head.

"Thank you for the stewed chicken. I love the stewed chicken the most. The dishes on the table are not as good as the stewed chicken!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this "thank you", he felt very happy, but seeing that he had so many dishes, his heart was still a little sour.

"Second brother, is what you said true?"

"Of course!"

"Our old Zhu's family doesn't have many consciences. We finally found one, so we have to take good care of it."

"What conscience?"

"You don't have to worry about it so much, if you don't dislike it, just stay and eat some together!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he burst into tears immediately and laughed.

"Thank you brother!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words, he immediately blew his mind.

"Forgot so soon?"

"You promised me during the day, you will call me third brother from now on!"

"Thank you third brother!"
