Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 3 Wei Wu's Legacy
The bedroom was quiet for a while.

Mu Xiang thought he was asleep, and was about to quietly move her sore waist when she suddenly heard His Highness ask:
"What kind of person is that concubine Ding?"

"Hmm..." Mu Xiang froze for a while, then Fang whispered, "Slaves can't talk about girls."

"Come on less." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "You don't chew your tongue in private, the sun has to come out from the west."

"This..." Mu Xiang couldn't help but looked up at Zhu Zhen in amazement.Why are you so sophisticated?He doesn't look like that naive little Highness before.

"What are you looking at me for?" Zhu Zhen turned his head, his big eyes were as bright as morning stars, how could he feel sleepy?
Just paired with those two thick eyebrows and the baby fat on his cheeks, he looks ridiculous.

"The servant girl dare not, the servant girl is rude." Mu Xiang hurriedly bowed her head to apologize, and said in a low voice: "I just feel that after being thrown into the water, Your Highness has changed a lot."

"You've changed a lot." Zhu Zhen had already thought up his words, and said calmly, "I just grew up overnight."

"This is truly blessed by the Bodhisattva." Mu Xiang wept with joy, "If the empress knows, she must be very happy."

"..." Zhu Zhen stopped talking, and buried his head in the pillow with his little butt pouted, sobbing.

"Does Your Highness miss your mother?" Mu Xiang hurried forward and stroked her back.

"Yeah." Zhu Zhen raised his head, his big eyes filled with tears and said, "I miss my mother."

"It's all the maidservant's fault. The maidservant made a slip of the tongue." Mu Xiang hurriedly apologized, and took out a fragrant handkerchief to wipe his tears.

"It would be really nice if she could come back." Zhu Zhen said persuasively and kindly.

"My servant also wants my mother to come back, who in the palace doesn't want her to come back?" Mu Xiang also cried along with her.

"Recently, we have been deceived by the people of Changyang Palace. We don't give monthly allowances, and our food is deducted. Other palace people have already changed into silk silk, but we are still wearing summer skirts."

"Changyang Palace is where Concubine Ding lives, right?" Zhu Zhen asked uncertainly.

"Yes."

"Why is it her turn to talk?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously.

"After the empress visited her relatives, the imperial concubine was originally in charge of the six palaces. But as soon as the empress left, Sun Guifei fell ill." Mu Xiang said angrily:

"The emperor originally intended for our empress to take over, but when something happened, Concubine Ding took advantage of it..."

"Because of this?" Zhu Zhenxuan slapped the two together.

"So His Highness already knows." Mu Xiang covered her mouth in surprise.Then I don't care anymore.Angrily said: "Your Majesty is following the advice of that thief woman surnamed Da!"

"Concubine Ding's surname is Da? Concubine Dagu?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously, "Is there another surname?"

"She's a pervert." Mu Xiang replied contemptuously.In the Ming Dynasty, both the Mongols and the Semu people were called "Hu Lu" contemptuously, but Zhu Zhen's mother and concubine's surname was Hu, so people in the palace naturally had to avoid it.

"These Tartars are ambitious. Although they dare not compete with the queen, they have always been eyeing the imperial concubine's seat. Now that Sun Guifei sees that she can't do it, she deliberately provokes the empress and plays a bitter trick in front of the emperor so that she can kill her." Empress, this opponent!"

"You really know a lot." Zhu Zhen chuckled.

Mu Xiang's heart tightened, she bowed her head submissively, and said weakly: "I just dare not hide it from Your Highness."

"Then why don't you tell us everything you know!" Zhu Zhen sat up and asked the question to the end.

Mu Xiang poured the beans out of the bamboo tube, and really said a lot of useful things.

For example, Concubine Da Ding was originally Chen Youliang's concubine.After Boss Zhu defeated Chen Youliang, he took it for his own use.

Zhu Yuanzhang claimed that he never took women away.Just this time, he made an exception, saying that it was because Chen Youliang was angry that he had killed too many generals, so he took his concubine to vent his anger.

But the palace people said in private that it was because Nada was too charming and too good at confusing the Lord.Otherwise, Boss Zhu, who has always been strict with military discipline and set an example, couldn't help but imitate Boss Cao.

Although no one could threaten Queen Ma's position, a man's body and soul can be clearly distinguished.

In short, the Da family is still very favored, and has given birth to the seventh son, the eighth son, and a princess one after another. Naturally, his status has been rising steadily, and he has gradually become arrogant.

"Like a mother, like a son, her son Qi Wang is not a good thing!" Mu Xiang said angrily: "Not to mention bullying the palace people all day long at a young age, even the cats and dogs in the palace can't escape his poisonous hands. "

"Swallows make their nests in Changyang Palace. He thought it was noisy, so he ordered people to destroy the nests, and then burned the chicks to death!" Mu Xiang also gave an example: "The scar on the back of His Highness' ears was also caused by him beating when he was a child!"

Zhu Zhen touched the backs of his ears, and sure enough, he found a half-inch-long scar on the left.

"Don't look at him half a year younger than His Highness, he's very ruthless. On the May Festival, he even kicked a court lady and broke his ribs." Mu Xiang still said angrily there: "It's a pity that Concubine Dading is sinister and vicious. Being retaliated by her, no one dares to report to the emperor..."

Zhu Zhen listened and fell asleep thoughtfully.

~~
The next day, Zhu Zhen didn't get up until it was mid-sun.

Mu Xiang has already stepped down, and his servant has been replaced by another younger maid, whose name she doesn't know.

After getting dressed neatly and having a simple breakfast, Zhu Zhen said that he wanted to go out for a while.

Wang Defa hurriedly ordered someone to prepare for the car.

Someone from Xiaohuo presented the ebony waist card to prevent entry and exit, Wang Defa took it and hung it on his waist, then supported His Highness's hand, and bowed out of the palace gate.

Ten small fire fighters were already waiting outside the door.

Two fire fighters lead the way with red gauze lanterns. One lantern says 'Wan'an Palace' and the other says 'King of Chu'.

The other eight small fire fighters followed behind with jugs, spittoons, chairs, suitcases, golden umbrellas and incense burners.

Zhu Zhen glanced at Wang Defa and said, "Is there something missing?"

"It's a little less, but the rules are like this. You can only use the full guard of honor when you go out of the palace. In the palace, you must be simple." Wang Defa explained gently.

"Wang Defa, why do you need a sedan chair? Is it impossible for the lonely prince to go out on foot?" Zhu Zhen looked at Wang Defa. Isn't this old eunuch playing me?

"Hey, Your Highness fell into the water this time, how many things have you forgotten?" Wang Defa said with an expression of caring for mentally handicapped children: "This is because the emperor specially ordered that all princes except the prince Walk in the palace!"

"And this rule?"

"No, even if you leave the palace and leave Beijing, you can't just take a car and a sedan chair. Three out of ten stops the car will stop and walk." Wang Defa added to the situation.

"Fuck..." Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded, and couldn't help feeling ominous.

With such a 'loving father', my dream of a prince living a happy life may not come true.

~~
But there is one thing, Zhu Zhen is very clear.In the Forbidden City, the father's words are the golden rule, and there is absolutely no room for bargaining.

He could only open his legs honestly, and under the guidance of two eunuchs, he left Wan'anmen and turned onto Xiyi Long Street.

Xiyi Chang Street is a street between the West Sixth Palace and the Qianqing Palace.Therefore, within the high red wall to the east is Boss Zhu's bedroom.

Zhu Zhen was a little confused, wondering if he should go in and pay his respects?Recognize what my father looks like?

To be honest, Zhu Zhen was always apprehensive about the matter of "meeting the father".

In front of others, it's not a big problem if you make a mistake, you can always pass the test by relying on your status and status.

But in front of His Majesty Hong Wu, who started with a bowl and killed without batting an eyelid, it would be very difficult for him not to show his original shape.If Boss Zhu thinks of himself as a monster, or possessed by a ghost or something, it would be cheap to cut him with a knife, and it is not impossible to peel the skin and pull the weeds.

Wang Defa observed his words and saw his face turned pale, so he guessed something. "Your Highness, the emperor should be governing in the Hall of Martial Arts at this moment, not in the Palace of Qianqing."

"Oh, then another day." Zhu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then there must be a certain date, so that this old servant can invite His Royal Highness in advance." Wang Defa reminded him: "The emperor has all kinds of affairs in his daily life, and he never has time to spare. Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have an audience at any time without a notification. Of course, the empress can also... ..."

The implication is that His Royal Highness is still not high enough.

"Well, let's see." Zhu Zhen was slightly injured.It turned out that the father didn't see him as soon as he wanted, and he was really affectionate.

"Yes." Wang De responded, and asked for instructions: "Then where shall we go now?"

"Big Bentang." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.
