Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 70
After the meal, all the wives surrounded Empress Ma and walked towards the big pavilion in the imperial garden. Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Cao Guogong helped to arrange the fruits and snacks.

They are all common melons and fruits. Zhu Biao knows that Empress Ma is frugal, and other princes, wives, and generals and ladies also understand it, and no one thinks it is simple.

Walking into the imperial garden, the harem is full of women, except for Mu Ying and Zhu Biao, the maids and eunuchs retreated after serving snacks.

The moon rose into the sky, and Empress Ma pulled Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Chang, talking about the wars in the past.

Mu Ying stared at those ladies, and after a few glances, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I still think Miss Shen and Xiao Lian are better."

I wanted to talk about him, but Mu Ying was originally Mu Guogong who guarded Yunnan.Now I feel a little wronged by being a servant by my side, so I smiled and said: "Today, here are all the daughters of the founders of the country, you don't have a crush on any family, and I will be the master for you."

"No, Your Highness should worry about your affairs first, but it is a royal matter." Mu Ying stood beside her and smiled: "Although Xiaolian is a maid, she is a woman who can endure hardships."

"Then why don't you do it? Don't wait for her to be married by someone else." Zhu Biao asked him standing beside him.

"Just do it. A man is a man. If you disagree, you will do it. No one is afraid of anyone." Mu Ying rolled up her sleeves.

After a while, Zhu Biao smiled, and said seriously to Mu Ying: "Father will definitely help you marry the right one, and then you just remember not to let Xiaolian down."

Zhu Biao was at the opposite corner to them, because it was inappropriate to sit together, the little eunuch arranged wine, food and mooncakes for Zhu Biao alone.

There are many rules in the palace, and the daughters of the founding fathers are also very well behaved. On other tables, they are sitting in twos and threes, forming a small circle.

Not far away, even their whispering voices could be heard.

"His Royal Highness is over there."

"Keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard by His Royal Highness."

"Sister Chang, why are you keeping your head down and not talking?" Miss Fu's family next to her touched Chang's with her hand.

"Ah, what." Chang came back to her senses, slightly surprised.

She had something on her mind, and when she entered the palace today, her mother gave her advice and told her about men and women, she felt strange.

Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince during the day, her chest thumped and her cheeks were flushed, as if she was sick.

The woman next to her touched Chang's face and said, "But you're sick, so you..."

Chang quickly shook her head and said, "It might be because of being drunk."

Miss Li's family next to her glanced at the teacup in Mrs. Chang's hand, her eyes were puzzled, could this tea make her drunk?

"His Royal Highness is better than a few years ago, and looks very extraordinary."

"I heard that you are not married yet, do you think you will, hehe."

At the next table, a girl from Feng Sheng's family looked at Xu Miaoyun and said, "Sister Miaoyun, what are you thinking about?"

"No, I think the moon is full tonight. I remembered Su Shi's poem. They are still in Beidi. I don't know when they will return."

Xu Miaowei held her chin in one hand, tilted her head to look at her sister: "Sister, you can't fool me."

"Miaowei, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." Xu Miaoyun knew what her naughty sister was going to say, so she immediately stopped her.

"I know, sister." Xu Miaowei didn't speak nonsense either, but talking nonsense would attract criticism.

But she was very sure that her sister must be thinking about the fourth prince, hmph, shameless.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle and elegant, and is loved by the people. For a woman, if she can get a husband like this, what more can she ask for.

Zhu Biao took a sip of tea, and unexpectedly saw Xu Miaowei smiling and nodding to greet him, smiling from the air, with a very kind expression on her face.

He could only put down the teacup and nodded slightly.

"Mu Ying, I don't remember meeting that second young lady of the Xu family a few times." He asked Mu Ying with some doubts.

"It's normal that His Highness doesn't know them. It would be strange if they don't know His Highness."

Zhu Biao nodded without saying anything.

If there is a chance in the future, it would be a good thing to invite those honorable sons out and make contact with each other.

Empress Ma and Mrs. Chang chatted lively.

Mrs. Fu said how wonderful her son and daughter are, and Mrs. Chang followed suit with a few compliments before talking about her daughter.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, my girl is diligent every day, and her female celebrity is better than mine." Mrs. Chang smiled and picked up a piece of pastry.

"The two daughters of the Xu family are not bad. I heard that Miaoyun is still a girl." Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Deng said to Mrs. Xu.

Seeing all the wives sitting together enjoying the moon and chatting lively, Empress Ma felt at ease.

She should also take care of the general's family, that's what she should do.

"Come on, sisters, let's try mooncakes together."

"Thank you, Empress."

"Thank you madam."

Mu Ying stood there bored, and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, if there are men here, it would be nice to have a drink together. They are all women, so boring."

"What do you want to do? Learn from Gao Qi?" Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Gao Qi? The stepmother sent Zhou Qingru, a childhood sweetheart who didn't agree with him, to see him. Why are you treating him so well, Your Highness? You are also very kind to Master Song."

Zhu Biao shook his head, this is not a question of good or bad, Gao Qi is a talent, as for Song Lian, he is also his teacher.

If he is disrespectful to the teacher, the ministers of the court may give him a hat. Li Shanchang's wife is also here today.

But Zhu Biao could feel that Mrs. Li Shanchang was a little dissatisfied with him, probably because of Li Bin's matter.

Because of the differences between men and women, Zhu Biao didn't say much to those ladies.

At the end of the moon viewing, everyone bid farewell to Zhu Biao, but Empress Ma asked Zhu Biao to send them away with her.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, get together, everyone knows each other.

When the people dispersed, Empress Ma did not shy away from Muying, and said to Zhu Biao: "Biaoer. Your father is not here these days, and you are tired of everything."

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Not tired, sons and ministers should share the worries of the father, there is nothing to be tired or not."

Queen Ma was very satisfied with his answer, and smiled in her heart, you silly boy, after this country is yours, if you dare to say that you are tired, your father will definitely beat you.

"I think the girl from the Chang family is pretty good, what do you think of Biaoer?" Empress Ma asked him as she walked.

This time, she also planned to choose some good daughter-in-laws for those sons, but she had to deal with Zhu Biao first.

"I think the young ladies who came tonight are very nice. After all, no matter how much their fathers shed blood and sweat for our Daming, if the mother thinks life is boring, you can invite them to the palace to accompany your mother to relax."

"Yes, stepmother." Mu Ying stood beside her and said.

"Ying'er, I've wronged you for letting you follow Biao'er."

Empress Ma didn't speak to the queen when there were only the two of them, but more like an ordinary mother talking to her son.

"Mother-in-law, you, His Royal Highness and foster father are relatives in Mu Ying's heart. Mu Ying has never been wronged, and she is content enough to protect His Highness."

What Mu Ying said was the truth, he wanted to repay his adoptive mother and Zhu Biao well in this life, for him, this was a big deal.

Empress Ma glanced at the moon and said: "People in the royal family should not forget their kindness. Some people cannot be bought by money and officials. They have to be exchanged for kindness. Do you remember the mark?"

"After returning to mother, I will remember." Zhu Biao told Mu Yingminger to remember to visit Shen's residence.
