Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 41 Your Majesty, Have You Eaten?
Xiaochengzi, this is the name of an eunuch, his original name was Tang Cheng.

However, what doesn't fit the lovely name "Little Chengzi" is that Tang Cheng is a serious eunuch with sharp methods. He is the eunuch of Emperor Yongle. Except for the "National Lord" Zheng He, the most respected eunuch by the emperor was generally called "Tang Gong" by the people in the palace.

Today's great eunuch is almost 60 years old, but no one can shake his position as the head of eunuchs.

Although Tang Cheng served the royal family, he had nothing to do with those princes, even when facing the prince, he did not flatter him.In his eyes, except for the emperor, the rest of the people have no value worthy of attention.

But for that young prince, King Qi, Tang Cheng looked at him differently, not because King Qi was so good, but because... he was different from other princes.

Whether it is the crown prince, the king of Han, or the king of Zhao, Tang Cheng has only seen deep calculations in them. He has always been very accurate in seeing people, and even the always benevolent prince can't avoid it.

As for King Qi, every time Tang Cheng saw this King Qi, Tang Cheng would feel a little surprised. This young prince seemed to always have a warm smile like sunshine on his face, and people couldn't help but have a good impression of him. Smiling like a...fool.

Tang Cheng always thought so, although it was an extremely disrespectful thought.

Until he saw with his own eyes the little prince beating to death Yushi Youdu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a sword in Fengtian Hall.

"Uncle Tang."

The young voice pulled Tang Cheng from his memories to the reality, before him was the resplendent Qianqing Palace, and the young man in princely attire—King Qi.

Tang Cheng said calmly: "The emperor is waiting for you in the apse."

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded, and was walking towards the apse, but stopped, turned and looked at the elderly eunuch: "The weather in Jinling is turning cold, why don't you pay attention at your age, remember Go back and add some thick clothes."

His tone of voice was very easy-going, with the meaning of reprimanding, as if he was teaching an ignorant child.

Ever since King Yan ascended the throne, Tang Cheng has never encountered anyone who dared to speak to him in such a tone.

Except for His Majesty the Emperor, whoever sees Mr. Tang must not make a respectful offering?

"Understood." Tang Cheng replied calmly.

He has become accustomed to King Qi's outrageous behavior. If he is out of the ordinary, is there anything more outrageous than the "Uncle Tang" that King Qi called him just now?

How can the prince call "uncle" to an eunuch?
However, this Lord Qi knew the general situation, and never called out the title "Uncle Tang" in the presence of a third person, so Tang Cheng never cared about it.

It was like a little secret between the two of them, making Tang Cheng feel a long-lost warmth in the cold deep palace.

"Don't forget, I'll go in first." Zhu Gaoyi went straight to the apse of Qianqing Palace after admonishing her.

The aged Tang Cheng looked at the back of the young prince, and there was a little tenderness in his cold eyes.

……

Zhu Gaoxuan actually didn't think that much in his heart, for him, Tang Cheng was a respectable elder.

Long before the battle of Jingnan, the unsmiling Duke Tang was a loyal old servant of King Yan's mansion, accompanying the four brothers to grow up.

After King Yan ascended the throne and became Emperor Yongle, everything changed. The four brothers gradually drifted away, and the old servant Xiao Chengzi also became the eunuch Tang Gong.

But in Zhu Gaoxuan's heart, Tang Cheng will always be the old servant who grew up with the four brothers.

He walked into the apse of the Qianqing Palace, and saw His Majesty the Emperor half-reclining on the dragon bed covered with a blanket of gold thread, holding a roll of thread-bound books, although he was reading, but dozing off with his eyes closed.

"My son, Zhu Gaoxuan, greet the saint." Zhu Gaoxuan bowed and saluted.

Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes, with imperceptible fatigue in his eyes, and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"The emperor summoned me. I dare not refuse to come." Zhu Gaoxuan replied.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did I summon you?"

"You rewarded all the generals and officers of the Southern Expedition Army at the Fengtian Palace, but you didn't say a word to me." Zhu Gaoxuan said calmly, "This is actually implying that I will ask you to ask for help after I retire. Reward, right?"

Zhu Di was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Why don't you pretend to be stupid this time?"

"Because you have pushed me to a position where I can't pretend to be a fool." Zhu Gaoxuan said flatly, "You have made me and the King of Han marry by marrying my minister to the British government. If it wasn't for this, the King of Han would not I lost the military power in my hand. Although His Royal Highness has not shown any hostility towards me, he has already raised his vigilance towards me. If I continue to pretend to be stupid, I will die."

After the Hanwang party's plan to impeach the Duke of England failed, Zhu Di deprived the Hanwang of the military power.While Zhu Gaoyi seems to have a good relationship with the prince, in fact the prince cannot relax his vigilance against Zhu Gaoxuan who took over the Southwest Army.

Zhu Di's eyes became more and more unfathomable: "Are you hating me?"

Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head: "I dare not."

"Are you really afraid?" Zhu Di said with great interest, "You are very courageous. Is there anything else you dare not do?"

Zhu Di pressed on every step of the way, pushing Zhu Gaoxuan into a desperate situation.

At this time, no matter whether he answers or not, it will not be a good thing.

Because Zhu Di's question was originally a paradox, no matter what Zhu Gaoxuan answered, it was wrong.

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxuan said slowly, "Your Majesty, have you eaten yet?"

Zhu Di froze for a moment, touched his chin: "Eat."

"I'm a little hungry, are you here to take care of the food?" Zhu Gaoxuan blinked.

Zhu Di: "..."

No matter, get out!

This unexpected answer made Zhu Di a little speechless. It would be too hasty to say that this is a change of subject.

But with the sentence "Have you eaten?", Zhu Di immediately lost the interest to continue asking.

……

Although it was a meal with the emperor, there were no dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder, delicacies from mountains and seas on the table, but very simple home-cooked dishes.

Steamed tofu with sauce, meat from Xuzhou, stir-fried vegetables, seafood soup with four seasons.

Ordinary three dishes and one soup, Zhu Gaoyi just gobbled up the hot rice.

Zhu Di raised his forehead: "Look at your good looks, you don't feel ashamed, but I also feel ashamed."

"It's rare for the imperial chef to open a small stove, so I have to eat with my stomach open." Zhu Gaoyi wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "If you like it, you can just transfer a few cooks from the four bureaus and two bureaus of Guanglu Temple."

"My son is blessed, and the cooks in the palace are still working, so there is no need to be so troublesome." Zhu Gaoyi wiped the greasy corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "This meal is almost finished, should the emperor have a meal with his son? Are you serious?"

Zhu Di said calmly, "It's just a meal for the two of you, what business can we do?"

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled without saying a word.

He was embarrassed to expose the old man's face, but this old man seemed to be addicted?
