The two of them were beaten hard, and finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd and escape.
Zhu Zi and the two had no way to get any more meal tickets, so they had to borrow some from Zhu Chun to tide over the difficulties at the end of the month. Seeing that the two of them were squandering money, Zhu Chun did not forget his own sake and gave the meal tickets to the two of them without hesitation.
However, Zhu Chun also knew about the situation of the two of them now, so he advised: "Brother Eight, Brother Ten, this is not the solution for you. Just be like my brother and find a job in the academy. If you want to live a good life in the academy, It’s really hard not to find a job.”
The two of them couldn't say much in front of their younger brother, so they had no choice but to nod and agree. But now that they have tasted the sweetness of getting something for nothing, how can it be easy to go back and earn some hard-earned meal tickets with their own hands?
During the last ten days of every month, the academy sends students home.
Zhu Zi and Zhu Tan took the meal tickets given by Zhu Chun and worked hard to get through the last few days. When it was time to return home, the two of them rushed there as fast as they could.
As soon as Zhu Tan returned to the gate of the palace, he was greeted by the eunuch beside his mother and concubine.
"Greetings to His Highness King Lu." The eunuch bowed to Zhu Tan from a distance. When he raised his head, he saw Zhu Tan's face was covered in bruises and bruises, and he was very embarrassed.
"His Royal Highness King Lu, is this what you are doing?" the eunuch asked in a panic.
Zhu Tan waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay, I fell while walking alone."
Fallen? If you fall, can you fall so comprehensively up, down, left, and right?
The eunuch was doubtful, but since His Highness King Lu said he had fallen, he couldn't ask any more questions.
"Concubine Ning has not seen His Highness for a long time and misses him very much. She has prepared a meal in the palace and wants to invite His Highness to have a meal."
Hearing that his mother-in-law wanted to treat him to a meal, Zhu Tan, who had been extremely hungry for a long time, did not hesitate at all and walked away faster than the eunuch. "Let's go, let's go faster, don't keep mother and concubine waiting in a hurry."
The eunuch was a little surprised by His Royal Highness King Lu's unusual attitude, but he didn't think much about it and quickly followed him.
Ning Fei Guo is the daughter of Guo Shanfu. Legend has it that Guo Shanfu was good at looking at people. When Zhu Yuanzhang returned, he
When he was not prosperous, he passed by Guo's house. When Guo Shanfu saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he was shocked and said to his two sons Guo Xing and Guo Ying, "This gentleman is beyond words. I think you are all destined to become marquises. I'm afraid it should be this man." So Guo Shanfu hurriedly followed Zhu Yuanzhang and sent his daughter Guo to serve Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang came to the throne, he named Guo as Concubine Ning. After Concubine Li Shu became pregnant, she ordered Concubine Ning Guo to assist Empress Ma in harem affairs. The Guo family's status in the harem was only lower than that of Queen Ma.
Zhu Tan arrived at Yongshou Palace. As soon as he walked outside the palace gate, he heard his father and mother concubine talking and laughing.
Concubine Ning is naturally beautiful and charming, and she and Lao Zhu have gone from the lowest ebb to glory, so the two of them can be said to have a deep love for each other. Lao Zhu would come to Yongshou Palace from time to time, and today was just the right time.
Zhu Tan raised his legs and hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the Yongshou Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, he lowered his head and bowed to Lao Zhu and the other two, "My sons and ministers pay their respects to my father, and to my mother and concubine."
Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Tan's eyes full of love. She stood up and helped Zhu Tan up with her own hands, and said, "If you come to see me more often, it is more important than any other etiquette. What are you doing with so many etiquette?"
"It's my fault. I will definitely come to Yongshou Palace more often from now on." Zhu Tan apologized and stood up.
Concubine Ning's expression suddenly changed when she saw the purple color on Zhu Tan's face, "Tan'er, you, what's wrong with you?"
Lao Zhu also saw that Zhu Tan's face was blue and purple, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he was a little unhappy.
"No~ It's nothing. My son was walking accidentally and fell down in the academy." Zhu Tan replied flatteringly, swallowing uncontrollably.
Zhu Tan's mind was not focused on his mother-in-law at all. Ever since he came in and smelled the tempting aroma of delicious food, his eyes had never left the dishes on the table.
Concubine Ning's pretty face suddenly darkened, her curved eyebrows raised, and she said angrily: "You think my concubine doesn't understand anything, don't you? You were obviously beaten, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of my concubine. . You said it was a fall, so drop one now and show it to my mother and concubine."
Zhu Tan saw that he could not hide the truth from his mother and concubine, and did not want to tell the truth, so he stood there without saying a word, holding his neck.
When Lao Zhu saw it, he let out a long sigh and asked in a deep tone: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Zhu Tan dared to hide it from his mother and concubine because he knew that her mother and concubine would pamper him and would not do anything to him. But he didn't dare to hide it from his father, because Lao Zhu would really whip him.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he lowered his head and said truthfully: "I was beaten by my classmates, but don't worry, father, emperor, mother and concubine, I have beaten them back a long time ago. Those guys were beaten much worse by me than this."
Zhu Tan looked triumphant. He did not feel that he was at a disadvantage at all. Instead, he felt that he had taken advantage of the confrontation with Wang Yuanji and others. After he and Zhu Zi were defeated by Wang Yuanji and others using Jun Ti Fist for the first time, they also discovered the extraordinary power of Jun Ti Fist through painful experience. When Wang Yuanji and others besieged them for the second time, they also used Juntiquan to fight against them. After all, their physical fitness is much stronger than that of Wang Yuanji and others, and the power of the same moves is much greater than theirs. They can barely hold on, unlike the first time they encountered them, they were beaten to pieces.
The two sides fought back and forth, and Zhu Tan felt that the two of them could fight a dozen or so people without deciding the outcome. Of course, they would win. As a man, even though he was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face, as long as the other person is the same as him, he will feel that he has taken advantage.
Concubine Ning was so angry when she saw her beloved one that she was reluctant to touch being beaten like this. Her aura that had been in charge of the harem affairs for a long time suddenly burst out, and she shouted sternly: "You dare to beat the prince of the dynasty. This is treason. They will do it." Aren’t you afraid of being killed by the nine clans?”
Devour
In the past, Zhu Tan might have thought that those classmates should be punished by the Nine Tribes, but now he smiled dryly and looked at his father asking for help.
Lao Zhu has been watching his son carefully from beginning to end. To be honest, Zhu Tan is a bit smart and has done well in poetry since childhood. Lao Zhu also cares about him, but this kind of care is more because of Lao Zhu's protective character, rather than how much Lao Zhu likes him.
In Lao Zhu's view, Zhu Tan may have been taught by Confucian scholars since he was a child, which caused him to be too bookish, in other words, a bit cowardly.
