Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 17
Lu Shi, the current concubine of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

He was born in a famous family, and his ancestors can be traced back to Lu Wenhuan who stood firm in Xiangyang against the Mongolian Yuan army for six years in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lu Wenhuan was originally considered a famous official of his generation, and he was once a young man who joined the army with great ambitions. Unfortunately, a treacherous official in the Southern Song Dynasty was in power, and he was besieged by Meng Yuan for six years in Xiangyang and did not save him.After running out of ammunition and food, there were no soldiers to fight and surrendered to Meng Yuan, leaving a big stain.

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, he became the Zuo Cheng of the Jianghuai Province, became the vanguard of the Song Dynasty, and was reviled by the world.Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, resigned from office and was old, and his son continued to serve as a senior official in the Yuan court.

Until the Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and rebuilt China.The Lu family was also an official in Daming, and Lu's father is now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. It can't be said that he has a high position and authority, but he should not be underestimated.

And since Zhu Xiongying's biological mother, the crown prince's concubine Chang's passed away, and the Lu family was restored, the status of the Lu family in the civil official group has risen by leaps and bounds.

Behind the Lu family are some civil servants, which is why Zhu Biao later made her a concubine.Most of the children of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty were married to the founder of the country, such as Zhu Chun, the king of Shu. He was only in his teens, but his married wife was Lan Yu's daughter.

The daughter of King Zhu Zhen of Chu is the daughter of Dingyuan Hou Wangbi. Although Zhu Biao treats these honorable and veteran ministers generously, he doesn't want these generals in the army to dominate their family among their relatives.

As a king, there are some things that have to be guarded against. The Huaixi Xungui Group, which is united as one, is all relatives of the imperial court, and the hidden worries are not small.

The moment he saw Mrs. Lu, Zhu Xiongying had already gone through these things in his mind.

After getting out of the sedan chair, he said respectfully, "I've seen the concubine mother!"

"Brother Ying, school is over, how are you doing today?" To Zhu Xiongying's slight surprise, Mrs. Lu's attitude towards him was extraordinarily enthusiastic, and she held his hand involuntarily, with a loving expression on her face, "A while ago You were seriously ill one day, but your body is just fine, so is it okay to go to school?"

"Thank you, mother and concubine, for caring!" Zhu Xiongying did not show any deliberate alienation, and smiled, "Everything is fine!"

Immediately, Mrs. Lu was a little surprised.When this child saw her before, he always had a bad face. No matter how hot he was, he was always cold.The concubine mother didn't know how to cry at all, but today the sun came out from the west.

"Have you ever seen your second brother?" Lu smiled again, "I'll go back to the palace with my mother and concubine. I'll have someone make sweets for you two to have a good meal in a while!" As he said that, he took Zhu Xiongying's hand lovingly, "You are too thin, mother and concubine will make up for you! Our family has not eaten together for a long time. Your second brother always said, see you!" Regardless of your big brother, the other brothers are always talking about you!"

"Thank you, mother and concubine! Before I came, the imperial grandmother told me not to run around after school, and go to her old man's place right away!" It stands to reason that Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, should call himself a son-in-law to the princess, after all, the Lu family is now In name, she was Zhu Biao's concubine, Ke Erchen, but she didn't say it.

Immediately, Mrs. Lu felt Zhu Xiongying's alienation, her face was a bit embarrassed, and she wanted to say something more.It can be seen that the palace people behind Zhu Xiongying are all old people who have served the queen for many years, so there are many things that they can't say anymore.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, several eunuchs surrounded Zhu Yunqi coming from behind.

"Mother and concubine forgive me, I'll go back to the imperial grandmother first!" After saluting, Zhu Xiongying returned to the sedan chair, walking across from Zhu Yunqi and his party.

Seeing that the emperor's grandson was in front of him, several eunuchs hurriedly pulled Zhu Yunqi to kneel down to salute.

"The younger brother has seen the elder brother!"

Zhu Xiongying didn't look back on the sedan chair, "Get up, your mother is waiting for you!"

At this moment, he didn't need to look back, he knew that Lu's face must be extremely ugly.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu was clutching the handkerchief and almost tore the handkerchief. When Zhu Yunxuan came in front of her, she took her son and walked towards the East Palace.

It was clear in her heart, Brother Ying, that boy was trying to show her off!
She is not his mother, even if she becomes a princess, her son will be just a courtier in front of Brother Ying, and will always be!

"How was your study today?" Lu Shi suppressed the anger in her heart and asked Zhu Yunqi, "Did the scholars praise you?"

"I didn't praise my ministers, but today the emperor's grandfather and father went to the university hall, and there are many university scholars."

Lu asked anxiously, "Did the emperor and your father read your homework?"

"No, grandfather and father are here to send eldest brother to study!" Zhu Yunwen said, "Eldest brother said something about learning, which made the imperial grandfather very happy, and those academicians were full of praise, saying that he is the best of the East Palace. !"

Suddenly, Lu's heart was blocked.

A few days ago, he was said to be a good grandson, but now he is said to be Donggong Jiaer. In a few days, wouldn't he be spoiled by heaven!

Thinking about it in my mind, my heart was full of bitterness and some dark hatred.

"Mother, you are hurting Erchen!" Zhu Yunxuan suddenly exclaimed, it turned out that Lu's hand was too strong when pulling him.

Mrs. Lu leaned over slowly, and looked at Zhu Yunqi solemnly, "Son, remember, you must study hard in the university hall, and you must be better than your elder brother in class, understand?"

Zhu Yunwen was puzzled, "Mother, studying is for self-cultivation, why must you be better than elder brother? Besides, what's the use of being better than him, he is the grandson of the emperor, and my son can't compare."

"No!" Lu's voice suddenly became sharp, and he lowered his voice, "You must study better than him, this is the only place you can surpass him now, understand?"

Seeing his scary face, Zhu Yunwen nodded half-understanding.

Lu Shi took his hand again and walked forward, "Remember, no one is allowed to tell this matter, not even your father!"

"My son, remember!"

~~~
"Master Wei said that there are two most dangerous places in this world, one is the brothel and the other is the palace!"

The soft sedan swayed slowly, Zhu Xiongying closed his eyes and meditated slowly.

Don't look at him as the incomparably honorable grandson of the Ming Emperor, who is doted on by the old man and the old lady, and says what he says in the palace.But after all, he is too young, so it is inevitable that he will be despised by others, and it will make others think that they shouldn't have.

Others will definitely have this kind of thinking.It is human nature not to destroy the world for oneself.

The world is full of all kinds of calculations, but he is still under the elder's wing and can't see it.

"Right now I'm just a fledgling, and one day I'll be a real eagle!"

Zhu Xiongying gradually opened his eyes with a smile on his face.

If other people like to calculate, let them calculate. Their status is precious, and they are just doing it in vain.If you annoy yourself, it's just a matter of a word in the future.

The soft sedan landed outside Kunning Palace, and Zhu Xiongying led Jia Gui towards the palace.

"Are you stepping on your servant?" Jia Gui knelt down in front of the gate of Kunning Palace, before the very high threshold, and said with a smile.

"No, I can pass alone!" Zhu Xiongying took a few steps back, and then jumped across the threshold.

As soon as he landed, he saw a man with a bushy beard opposite him, looking at him dotingly.

"Uncle!" Zhu Xiongying called out happily.

That man is none other than Chang Yuchun's eldest son, Zhu Xiongying's uncle, the founding father Chang Mao.Empress Ma likes to call him Maotouer by his nickname.As for outsiders, they should respectfully call him Mr. Mao.

"Chen, I have met Your Highness!" Chang Mao saluted.

The so-called mother and uncle may be due to the blood of the body, Zhu Xiongying smiled, "Uncle, we are a family, why bother to be polite!" Saying this, he helped Chang Mao up with his own hands.

Chang Mao glanced at Zhu Xiongying up and down, "Your Highness is really in good shape, such a high threshold, you can fly over in one fell swoop!" Then he paused, and said softly, "But it's better to be careful, don't fall !"

"I can't fall!" Zhu Xiongying laughed, "In a few days, I will go to my uncle and let you teach my nephew how to ride a horse!"

"Ride today!" Chang Mao smiled, squatted down, turned his back to Zhu Xiongying, and laughed loudly, "Come on, come on!"

Zhu Xiongying was also polite, and directly rode on the opponent's broad shoulders.The opponent's tall body stood up, carried Zhu Yingxiong on his back, and strode forward.

"Your Highness, hold on tight!" Chang Mao said with a smile.

"Hold on firmly!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.

At this time, Empress Ma heard the voice coming out of the palace, and seeing this scene, she burst into laughter from ear to ear.

"Oh, these dudes can really make trouble!"
