Luoyang, the divine capital, is the residence of Prince Rui.
In the study room of Prince Rui's Mansion, there was only a "bang" sound, followed by the sound of a cup breaking.
"Trash, trash...it's all trash!"
Although he is nearly two thousand miles away from Jinling, Rui Wang Zhu Jingyuan controls the general trend of Jinling and fights with his brother from a distance.
However, due to Zhu Jinghong's various twists and turns, most of his plans failed. How could Zhu Jingyuan not be angry?
King Rui Zhu Jingyuan's roar made the serving eunuchs and maidservants tremble in fright, and they all knelt on the ground at this moment.
Among them, the one who felt the deepest fear was the young eunuch who reported the situation. It was his news that made Zhu Jingyuan angry.
"What are you still doing here? Why don't you get out quickly?"
"roll……"
As the words came out, there was another sound of breaking porcelain in the study, and then a little eunuch was seen escaping in a mess.
As the emperor's second son, Zhu Jingyuan is eighty-eight years old this year, and has been the king for twelve years.
Since the ancestor Zhu Shenzhuo wiped out the world and killed all his royal brothers, he has further strengthened the restrictions on the royal family.
It was also from that time on that all the children of the royal family stayed in the land of Kinei, and a system of demotion and promotion was adopted.
Even if they are crowned princes, as long as there is no special decree from the emperor, their descendants will still be demoted one by one and eventually become ordinary civilians.
As the emperor's second son, how could Zhu Jingyuan not have the desire to compete for the throne when his eldest brother was too weak to be favored by the Holy Family.
Through accumulation over the years, Zhu Jingyuan has also built up his own momentum, and this time he went to great lengths to get the boss to Jinling.
According to the hole he dug in advance, Zhu Jingyuan will definitely fall into trouble. At that time, everyone in the court will work together to depose him as the crown prince.
However, because of Zhu Jinghong's troubles, all the plans were completely changed. How could Zhu Jingyuan not be angry to death.
Inside and outside the study, when all the maids and eunuchs were trembling, they heard footsteps coming from the direction of the bedroom.
The bold maid raised her head and peeked, and she was relieved when she found that it was Princess Chen who was here.
Princess Rui's name is Chen Zhi, she is only one year younger than Zhu Jingyuan, and she is at the age when Izuku Hibiscus is so graceful.
She was seen wearing a pagoda bun, a dark blue full-sleeved shirt with Yun Zhai pattern, and a double-knee horse skirt.
This outfit is simple yet luxurious, especially the floral patterns embroidered on the clothes. It would be a serious crime for a wealthy family to use it for anything.
Chen Zhi stopped at the door of the study, asked the maid in a low voice about the situation, and ordered: "You all should step aside!"
Looking back at the maids behind her, Chen Zhi also motioned for them to leave, and soon she was the only one left in the huge courtyard.
Pushing the door open and looking at the broken porcelain on the ground, Chen Zhi's expression suddenly tightened.
"Oh, my lord, look at these porcelains, they are messing with you..."
"This one is from the Yuan Dynasty. It costs at least three to four hundred taels of silver. This one is from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty... I'm afraid it costs more than a thousand taels!"
"This is all money... Do you have a grudge against money?"
The Zhu Ming royal family did not pay much attention to family status when marrying, and they particularly preferred small families. Princess Chen was only born in a family of raw members. She knew everything about food, rice, oil and salt since she was a child, and she knew how a penny could stump a hero.
In fact, a scholarly family with aspirations would not want to marry their daughter to the royal family, as this would ruin the future of their descendants.
As for the Wuxun family, they are trusted by the royal family. However, the two do not marry frequently, and there is no need to elaborate on the taboos.
Hearing his wife's complaints, Zhu Jingyuan became even more angry and immediately yelled: "Money, money, money... you only know money!"
"I don't know about money, so who will pay for the expenses of this house?"
"You are generous outside. I want to help anyone who has a problem. It is comfortable to spend a lot of money... but this money is not saved by me?" Chen Zhi became even more resentful.
The Lao Zhu family has three traditions, which are almost engraved in their genes.
The first is fear of father, the second is separation of generations, and the third is love for wife.
If it hadn't been like this, someone like Chen Zhi would have ended up on the bench if she had quarreled with her husband like this.
"You...you are simply unreasonable!"
What his wife said made sense. Zhu Jingyuan couldn't compete with her, so he could only say these indifferent words.
"You said this porcelain was dropped and the shelf was empty. What should I do?"
Looking at the empty bookshelves, Chen Zhi felt very worried.
"Just buy two and put them on!" Zhu Jingyuan said angrily.
"It's easy to put it up, but it's hard to take it out. If outsiders see it, it won't bring shame on your prince!"
"Then move two pieces from other places. Such a big palace lacks two dead things?"
"Are there any good things in the inner house? You can't put my jewelry on it, right? As for the things in the outer house, you can't touch them!"
Hearing these words, Zhu Jingyuan laughed angrily. His majestic palace still lacked such things.
However, he also knew in his heart that this was all related to the fact that he spent too much money on weekdays. Even in addition to his salary and rewards, he also purchased various properties, and the palace could not make ends meet.
"Then just... buy two sets of books and put them up!" Zhu Jingyuan said seriously.
Chen Zhi nodded and said helplessly: "That's all we can do!"
Books are "priceless" treasures, so putting them up is considered appropriate for the occasion.
"It's just that, Your Majesty, you should keep your anger in check from now on. We can't just put books on the shelves on the left and right, right?" Chen Zhi said quietly.
"Got it!" Zhu Jingyuan waved his hand and sulked alone again.
Walking behind Zhu Jingyuan, Chen Zhi gently squeezed his shoulders, glanced at the letter on the table, and asked, "I don't know, who made the prince angry again!"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the business in Jinling!"
"The Jinling incident? Didn't the prince say that victory is certain?"
That's right, Zhu Jingyuan boasted to Chen Zhi half a month ago, saying that he would be able to pull down the boss this time. At that time, it was a promise.
At this moment, he still remembered the situation when the couple called each other the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and the slap in the face really came too quickly now.
Just when Zhu Jingyuan was embarrassed, Chen Zhi asked again: "What changes have occurred?"
Zhu Jingyuan briefly told Chen Zhi what was said in the letter, and he had a channel to express his depression.
"I can't tell. Old Thirteen is quite capable of tossing people around. Since when did he become one with the boss?" Chen Zhi was extremely puzzled.
"Old Thirteen is a fool. He only knows how to dance with guns, sticks, bows, horses, and shoot. How could he have such thoughts!" Zhu Jingyuan was extremely disdainful.
He is more than ten years older than Zhu Jinghong. He has watched Zhu Jinghong grow up, so he naturally knows a lot about his younger brother.
It is precisely because of enough understanding that no normal person would believe that this was Zhu Jinghong's handiwork.
"What I'm worried about is... the fourth child has changed his gender!" Zhu Jingyuan's expression was solemn.
There is always a shortage of smart people around Zhu Jingyuan to make suggestions, but due to his own personality, even if he makes the right choice, he will make things worse.
Zhu Jingyuan is not afraid that the fourth child will have a good adviser, nor is he afraid that he will suddenly become smart, but that he will change his benevolent and weak character.
Once it becomes what the emperor expects, his position as prince will be stable.
With the approval of the emperor above and the support of hundreds of officials below, no matter how famous Zhu Jingyuan was, he could not shake his elder brother's status at all.
"Fourth brother's gender transition? I'm afraid it's more difficult than Thirteenth's gender transition!" Chen Zhi blurted out, representing her truest thoughts.
"Now that the fourth child is far away in Jinling, and there is no father around to hold him down, there is no guarantee that he will not change his gender!" At this point, Zhu Jingyuan frowned.
