Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 18 Warmth
Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem.

But Chang Mao is different. Although he is also a courtier of Daming, he is more like a junior in front of Empress Ma.Because he grew up beside Queen Ma since he was a child, and he is the godson of Queen Ma.

"It's said that uncle and nephew are inseparable, it's true, they will be happy once they meet!" Empress Ma said at the door, a woman beside her.

The woman was Chang Mao's first wife, with a big pregnant belly, she looked at her husband approaching tenderly and said with a smile, "Our master is at home, but it is never like this. When he sees His Highness, he is so happy Don't care about anything!"

Her maiden name is Feng, and she is Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, one of the six founders of the country.

"Brother Ying, come down!" Empress Ma waved and smiled, "You are a big boy, you can't just ride on your uncle's neck!"

Before Zhu Xiongying could speak, Chang Mao dragged him around a few times quickly, and said with a big laugh, "Godmother, it's okay. In a few years, when he grows up, my servant will carry it on his back if he wants to." Stop moving!"

These few laps by Chang Mao directly made Zhu Xiongying dizzy.After coming down, my feet were weak and I almost couldn't stand still.

"Your Highness is still not strong enough!" Chang Mao said with a smile, "You can't just study, you have to practice riding and shooting."

Feng said angrily, "Look at you, you are not doing anything right, and your Highness has been stunned!" As he spoke, he held his stomach and saluted, "The concubine has seen Your Highness!"

"Auntie please hurry up!" Zhu Xiongying hurriedly stopped the other party from saluting, and said with a smile, "You are inconvenient, so these vain courtesy will be avoided!"

"That's not acceptable. When outsiders see it, they will say that concubines have no rules!" Feng said with a smile.

Empress Ma said from the sidelines, "How can there be an outsider here? You girl, don't make such hypocrisy!" As he spoke, he laughed again, "Although he is the grandson of the emperor, he is also your junior. Come on, my old lady. At the age, I might leave one day, Brother Ying is still young, and I need you to take care of me!"

"Mother, why do you always say these unlucky words!" Chang Mao said anxiously, "You must live a long life!"

"The emperor's grandmother has a long life!" Zhu Xiongying also laughed.

"That's an old goblin!" Empress Ma laughed.

After several people entered the palace, Zhu Xiongying asked Chang Mao, "Uncle, why are you free to enter the palace today?"

Chang Mao is also the commander of the Central Army of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and he is also the commander-in-chief in charge of the 10,000+ army in the capital. It can be said that he is busy with military affairs.

Besides, although he was not considered an outsider in Empress Ma's heart, he was a courtier after all and had to avoid many things, so he would not come to the West Palace easily.

"Here comes a gift for you!" Chang Mao clapped his hands with a smile, and in the side hall, several palace servants came out carrying several bird cages.

"Parrot!" Zhu Xiongying laughed as he opened the curtain to see what was inside.

They are really a few parrots, different from the ones seen in later generations, and their bodies are not so big. These parrots have flowers on their heads, and their eyeballs are rolling around. The bright colors are very beautiful.

"My uncle was fighting in Yunnan, and found that there was a flower-headed parrot that was not found in the capital, so he sent someone to the capital to play for His Highness!" Chang Mao laughed. The old uncle he was talking about was Zhu Xiongying's uncle. , Yongchang Hou Lanyu.

Empress Ma laughed and said, "Hey, Lan Xiaoer did the same, sending some birds from all the way!"

Zhu Xiongying's heart warmed up, this feeling of being missed by others is so good!

Although he has a noble status, he is a child without a mother. Although there is love from the elders in the deep palace, there is something lacking after all.In his original memory, whether it was the Chang family, or Lan Yu, or Li Wenzhong, or Mu Ying and others these years.As long as they were fighting outside and found any unusual good things, they would send them all the way to him to make him smile.

There are also the Fu family of Ying Guogong, the Feng family of Song Guogong, Wang Bi of Dingyuan Hou, Cao Zhen of Jingchuan Hou, Xie Cheng of Yongping Hou, etc., and so on.

What he did was not because Zhu Xiongying was the grandson of the emperor.It's that they recognize and love this child from their hearts.

Think about the original time and space, Zhu Xiongying died young, and Zhu Biaoying died young.Zhu Yuanzhang completely disregarded any friendship for his grandson Zhu Yunqi to secure the throne, and killed all the founding heroes.

Fu Youde and his son committed suicide in front of the Golden Temple, and Feng Sheng was bestowed to death.Sapphire, the most popular in the army, died without a whole body.

There is also his uncle Chang Mao, who died in an unknown way in history.The old man was afraid that his grandson, who did not have the support of nobles behind him, would not be able to restrain these arrogant soldiers, and would not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

"In this life, I will protect all of these people!" Zhu Xiongying thought to himself, "Save these, heroes of the Ming Dynasty!"

At this time, Chang Mao smiled and said, "Mother, I have read the military newspaper. In two months, brother Mu Ying will come to the capital to see you when he is a teacher in Yunnan. And brother Wen Zhong, Ping Baoer , He Fu, they will all come to Beijing to buy donkeys!"

Empress Ma wondered, "Aren't you all on military affairs, what are you doing back in Beijing?"

Feng Shi peeled a fruit for Empress Ma, and said with a smile, "You forgot, the ninth day of August is your birthday!"

Empress Ma's face suddenly filled with surprise.

These children were all raised by her side since they were young, and they were raised by her hand in hand.

At that time, the old man was not the emperor, nor the king of Wu, nor even the Duke of Wu, but just a military leader in troubled times, leading a group of brothers to rebel, and his precarious situation was at stake.

After they had a foundation, these children grew up and joined the army to fight on horseback.She didn't say anything, but she always thought about it in her heart.You know, she raised these children as her sons, and even the daughter-in-law was picked by her.Strictly speaking, these adopted sons with foreign surnames are closer to her than the old man's concubine princes.

"Then, the emperor, do you agree?" Empress Ma's tone was both joyful and worried, "Military and national affairs are the most important thing, don't delay the country's important affairs for me, an old woman!"

"The children are filial, how can we stop them!"

Suddenly, the old man's loud voice sounded outside the hall.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

While everyone was saluting, the old man strode in, picked up Zhu Xiongying, and lovingly tied his beard on his grandson's pink face, causing Zhu Xiongying to scream again and again.

Then he put down his eldest grandson and said to everyone, "Get up, you are not an outsider!"

"Sister, let's make arrangements for your birthday this year!" The old man sat down next to Empress Ma and laughed, "When the time comes, the second, third, and fourth will come back, too, and our adopted sons will come back too, so I will treat you well." Let's have fun!"

"Listen to you!" Empress Ma's eyes turned red, "Don't spend too much money, don't make any big scenes, it's good for the whole family to eat dumplings together!"

For no reason, Zhu Xiongying felt sour in his heart.

According to the original trajectory of time and space, not long after his death, Empress Ma also died of illness.Mu Ying, who was guarding in Yunnan, heard the news of Empress Ma's death, vomited three liters of blood and passed away not long after.Before he died, he wrote a scripture, please Your Majesty Kane, the quasi-officials will be buried in the capital, next to the queen's mausoleum, so that the envoys can serve day and night.

Not only Mu Ying, but also Li Wenzhong, after hearing the sad news of Empress Ma, also fell ill and died young soon.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually full of warmth.

only.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the door, and Zhu Biao came in with a smile on his face.

"Father, mother, and fourth brother won a battle in Liaodong!"
