My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 28 A generation of virtuous Empress Xu! (Kneeling for collection, investment and follow-up!)
"Ah!"

Zhu Gaoyu, who had just registered and was allowed to enter, rubbed his nose and looked back at the direction of the pier.

"Hehe, the old man should be very angry now."

Think about it too.

I have prepared millions of goods, thinking that I can make a lot of money.

result.

Come back and have a look.

There are still millions of goods. Although there are 200 million more goods, this stuff can't be used as money.

Thinking about the record of the old man shamelessly using pepper to pay officials in history, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Old Zhu's family's black heart is indeed inherited from the ancestors.

"Have you checked it out? Don't touch it with your hands. It's a gift for the Empress and the Crown Princess."

Glancing at the guards and eunuchs who were checking the boxes, Zhu Gaoyu reminded him.

"Yes, yes...it's ready."

Several guards and eunuchs hurriedly accompanied the smiling faces and re-covered the opened box. The two eunuchs lifted up and followed behind Zhu Gaoyu and Zhang Yue.

There are many rules in the palace.

An adult prince like Zhu Gaoyu, who is in the foreign government, must register and report when entering the palace, and he is not allowed to enter without a notification.

Passing all the way, ignoring the court ladies and eunuchs, Zhu Gaoyu and his wife came to Qianqing Palace.

This is the residence of Empress Xu.

Historically, after the death of Empress Xu, the coffin stayed here for several years, and was not buried in Beiping until the construction of the imperial mausoleum was completed.

Since then, the old man didn't want to see things and think about others, so he never came here again.

But in this world, Empress Xu is still alive and well, and the Qianqing Palace is not as deserted as it was in history.

"Meet Your Royal Highness the King of Yue!"

Just arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, Empress Xu's personal maid, Biyu, greeted and waited at the gate with a smile.

"Aunt Yu!"

Zhu Gaoyu shouted happily.

Zhu Gaoyu was taken care of by the other party when he was a child, and she was his closest woman besides Empress Xu.

Zhu Gaoyu would always call the other party "auntie" to show respect if he was not on a formal occasion.

Naturally, Biyu didn't dare to take advantage of it, and she was terrified many times not to let Zhu Gaoyu call her that.

In the end, it was Empress Xu who said, "You and I have been together for many years as sisters, and have taken care of this child for more than ten years. This aunt is worthy of the title."

From then on, Biyu no longer refused, and acquiesced in this title.

"You child, ran back secretly, did you cause trouble again?"

After patting Zhu Gaoyu's forehead, Biyu said helplessly.

"No, I'm obedient."

Zhu Gaoyu replied with a smile, took a small box from Zhang Yue, and handed it to Biyu.

"You child, give me something again, I can't even put it in the box."

Seeing that Zhu Gaoyu did not forget to bring a gift for himself during his long journey, Biyu scolded and did not refuse, and reached out to take it.

The love between the two is the same as the relationship between mother and child, and the refusal seems to be born.

"I can't fit it, so I'll ask someone to make a bigger box for you later. What kind of wood do you want? Is it red sandalwood, or pear blossom..."

Reaching out to help the other party, Zhu Gaoyu walked towards the palace while talking to him.

The maids along the way, seeing such a scene, were full of envy.

An old court lady can make a prince honor his mother like he honors his mother, and this life is worth it.

Zhang Yue, who was on the side, watched her husband, like a child, constantly talking about various overseas interesting things, making Biyu happy, without any jealousy in her eyes.

Her husband once said that when Li Jinglong attacked Beiping, the father-in-law borrowed troops from outside, and the mother-in-law personally commanded the battle from the top of the city.

One day Zhu Gaoyu suddenly had a high fever, and because of the chaos in the city, some of the doctors fled, and some of them were transferred away.

Seeing the crisis, it was the old maid in front of her who ran half the city with him on her back, only to find an old man and take her life back.

Coupled with the care from childhood to adulthood, although the woman in front of him is a court lady, in the eyes of her husband, she is no different from her own mother.

When they came to the gate of the palace, the two stopped talking and laughing.

Biyu pressed his hand to Zhu Gaoyu and Zhang Yue, and went in to report alone.

This is the trouble of the royal family. When mother and child meet each other, they have to pass on the report.

As the queen's residence, Qianqing Palace, in the impression of many people, should be that kind of jeweled and luxurious.

However, the reality is not the case.

Others Zhu Gaoyu didn't know, anyway, his grandma and his old mother lived a very simple life.

Apart from the building materials, there are no luxurious decorations in the Qianqing Palace. The only expensive decoration is the bouquets placed everywhere.

"You child, did you do something to make your father angry?"

Just as Zhu Gaoyu and Zhang Yue stepped into the palace, a gentle and doting voice sounded.

"Son, daughter-in-law, pay respects to the queen mother."

The two walked into the hall, and greeted Empress Xu who had stood up and greeted them with joy in her eyes.

Perhaps influenced by her mother-in-law, Empress Xu's clothes are not so luxurious.

An ordinary hairpin is inserted in the hair, and the clothes on her body are not high-quality silk, but common clothes like ordinary households.

However, this attire not only didn't make her lose her luster, but made her more cordial.

"Mother, what are you talking about? What do you mean I made my father angry again? Am I such a rebellious child?"

Before his mother could say no, Zhu Gaoyu got up and strongly stated that he was a good baby.

Empress Xu gave Zhu Gaoyu a white look with her phoenix eyes, and smiled to ask her daughter-in-law to get up too.

"Tell me, what did you do this time? If you don't tell the truth, mother won't help you, and let your father beat you."

Although he dotes on this youngest son, he still has his own sense of propriety.

For things that do not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, she will treat them like a family.

If Zhu Gaoyu violated the laws of Ming Dynasty.

There is no need for the old man to speak, she will personally send Zhu Gaoyu to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial.

"Hey, I can't hide anything from you, you are worthy of being my female Zhuge of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Gaoyu helped his mother back to the brocade couch, and at the same time offered a wave of flattery.

Reaching out and nodding Zhu Gaoyu's head, Empress Xu said, "Stop flattering, hurry up, and if you don't talk about you, Dad will be back."

With a jolt, Zhu Gaoyu took out a specially stored piece of paper from his bosom, and handed it to the old lady.

Then he walked behind him, massaged his shoulders, and said to Empress Xu who was reading the content on the paper:

"Mother, do you still remember the agreement signed with the old man when my son went to sea?"

After reading the contents of the paper, Empress Xu nodded.

She remembered it clearly and was a witness.

At that time, Zhu Gaoyu clamored to go to sea, and said that he would earn more than Zheng He.

The husband naturally didn't believe it, and made fun of Zhu Gaoyu for bragging.

The two fathers argued for a long time, and finally made a bet.

Zhu Gaoyu went to sea with Zheng He and was responsible for the sale of goods.

The estimated value of the goods going to sea is 415 million taels. If Zhu Gaoyu can bring back 600 million taels of goods, Zhu Gaoyu will win the bet.

As the winning side, the old man will hand over all the ships of the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Gaoyu to form the so-called new navy of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Gaoyu does not achieve the expected benefits.

Then you don't have to think about anything in this life, just honestly have a baby in the fief.

Putting the contract in her hand on the table, Empress Xu frowned slightly.

"Si'er, don't tell my mother, not only did you not make so much money, but you even lost money."

"兕" is Zhu Gaoyu's baby name. When he was just born, because of Empress Xu's poor health, Zhu Gaoyu was very weak after birth. The old man gave him this baby name, hoping that he can grow up safely.

Seeing his mother misunderstood, Zhu Gaoyu shook his head quickly.

"I didn't lose money, but earned more than expected."

Empress Xu was a little puzzled now.

Instead of losing money, he earned more, so what is this brat afraid of?
Is there something else hidden in this?
"Say."

Empress Xu was also very curious, and directly urged Zhu Gaoyu to explain the reason quickly.

Zhu Gaoyu laughed a few times, and under the watchful eyes of his mother, daughter-in-law and Aunt Biyu, he said with a guilty conscience:

"The total income from this sea trip, after deducting the cost, has also earned nearly 800 million silver."

Empress Xu and the others were a little surprised when they heard this number.

However, before they could ask, what Zhu Gaoyu said next made them understand.

Zhu Gaoyu made so much money, why did he run away with a guilty conscience.
