Sitting in his seat, Zhu Jinghong ignored the woman's affairs and focused on eating on the table.
He has a lot of strength and consumes a lot of energy, and his food intake is almost three times that of ordinary people. Eating is like fighting.
This is actually quite good. He can only do such a thing as eating, so he doesn't have to get involved in the affairs of the fourth and sixth children.
For example, at this moment, Lao Liu took the initiative to bring up some anecdotes about the officials in the East Palace.
It was obviously meant to be a joke, but in reality it was to give the prince some eye drops.
Of course, the prince himself is not really stupid. Compared with Zhu Jingyuan's bad things, his methods are just a little worse.
The two families here are facing each other and hurting each other. Zhu Jinghong is eating deliciously, which creates a unique scene.
Everyone who was not here to eat, but their taste buds were stimulated by Zhu Jinghong's eating style, and they suddenly had thoughts about the delicious food on the table.
Although it is the Laba Festival, the royal banquet cannot only include a bowl of Laba porridge. The food on everyone's table is different, and it is basically arranged according to their own preferences.
"Stop talking now, let's eat..." Zhu Xianming said.
After saying this, he picked up the chopsticks himself, and the eunuch on the side quickly picked up the vegetables and put them on the plate in front of the emperor according to what he was looking at.
Seeing that the emperor also started to eat, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Jingyuan stopped fighting, and both looked at each other to pick up the food for themselves.
This scene made the queen worried, after all, the palms and backs of her hands were all flesh.
The originally lively Kunning Palace suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became even more uncomfortable.
"Brother Thirteen, look at the way you eat, it's too indecent!"
Zhu Yunsheng's clear voice sounded in the hall, dispersing the heavy atmosphere.
"Third sister, I don't like hearing what you are saying. What's wrong with my eating habits? Have I violated any royal law?"
It was originally a quarrel between brother and sister, but the emperor intervened at this moment: "Boy, did Sheng'er say something wrong?"
"Dad... of course Third Sister is right, my son will be like this for the rest of his life, don't argue with me!"
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's nonsense, Zhu Xianming was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. When he was about to reprimand, the queen spoke.
"Okay... no matter how big a deal it is, it's worth being so angry. Thirteen can eat whatever he likes, what's the big deal!"
After hearing the Queen's words, everyone at the scene had different thoughts.
Baochai, who was standing behind Zhu Yunsheng, only lamented that the emperor was right. This was indeed "a loving mother often loses her son."
If it weren't for the Queen's blind indulgence, how could Zhu Jinghong, a prince and prince, become such a rude person.
Zhu Jinghong glanced at the old man and saw that he was being persuaded by the queen, and his heart dropped.
Then I heard him say in a low voice: "Sheng'er, if you don't want to eat the roasted roe deer in front of you, why don't you bring it to me?"
Seeing Zhu Jinghong being sneaky, Yang Qingyin smiled and said, "Sheng'er, since your thirteenth brother likes to eat, why don't you look like a man?"
Zhu Yunsheng has not touched this dish yet. Since his brother likes it and his mother greets him, how can Zhu Yunsheng be reluctant to part with it.
"The queen is right!"
In response to this sentence, Zhu Yunsheng turned around, looked at Baochai with deep meaning, and said: "Then I will be as beautiful as an adult!"
"Sister Bao, could you please bring this raw roasted roe deer to Brother Thirteen!"
What is adult beauty? Are you talking about food or people? Baochai felt embarrassed because Zhen Qin and others were looking at him at the moment.
Why didn't the princess let me send it off?
This question was shouting in the hearts of Yang Jingting and Zhen Qin at the same time. Only Xiangyun didn't feel much about it.
Although she was embarrassed, it was the princess's order after all, so Baochai had no choice but to step forward and walk towards Zhu Jinghong with the dishes in hand.
"Come on, come on, put it here, put it here... take a knife and pick off the meat for me!"
Seeing Baochai coming, Zhu Jinghong was not polite and immediately assigned her a task.
She really thought of herself as a girl... Although Baochai was dissatisfied, she still took the knife from Zhu Jinghong and stood beside him to slice his flesh.
Although she had already started working, Baochai couldn't help but feel it was ridiculous. She was holding a pen, playing chess, playing the piano, and doing needlework, but she never thought about picking meat for others.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong who was eating deliciously in front of him, Baochai couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She had really fallen into this man's evil ways, otherwise she wouldn't have been willing to do this.
"Thirteenth brother, I heard that you are leaving the palace to meet foreigners?" Zhu Jingyuan suddenly mentioned this matter.
When Zhu Jinghong wants to travel, the flag bearer guards must arrange ceremonial guards, and the five-city military and horse divisions must be responsible for defense along the way.
The procedure is relatively complicated. Although there is a principle of confidentiality, it cannot be hidden from Zhu Jingyuan.
"This is my father's wish, to have contact with foreigners!"
Zhu Xianming didn't expect that some of his own people here would dare to tell lies. Is this kid following his wishes? Isn't it the result of his stubborn persistence?
"Dad, you are so good, why do you want to have contact with foreigners?" Zhu Jingyuan felt particularly puzzled.
"What I mean is that Old Thirteen is tossing himself, focusing on what foreigners are good at and learning from others... Do you think this is because he is full?"
I just heard Zhu Jingyuan say with a smile: "Dad, the thirteenth brother always has a reason for doing things, but my son feels... he may not be fooling around!"
To be honest, Zhu Jingyuan didn't mean what he said, because from the bottom of his heart, he also thought that Zhu Jinghong was messing around.
In order to win over this thirteenth brother, he said these things against his will.
"It's better that Sixth Brother understands me. Let's have a drink together!"
Facing the kindness released by Zhu Jingyuan, Zhu Jinghong responded in a timely manner, always giving hope to the sixth brother.
"Thirteenth brother, please!"
Seeing the two brothers singing in harmony, Zhu Xianming didn't want to ask more about it, so he started talking to Yang Qingyin who was standing beside him.
The prince sitting opposite Zhu Jingyuan suddenly felt uncomfortable when he saw the sixth brother and his thirteenth brother chatting lively.
"Thirteenth brother, what do those foreigners... have to learn? How is my Ming Dynasty inferior to them?" Zhu Jingyuan asked.
He received an orthodox Confucian education, and the idea of a heavenly kingdom was deeply rooted in his bones. Naturally, he would not agree with Zhu Jinghong's views.
At this point, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Jingyuan rarely thought of one thing, but they still argued with each other because of their different positions.
So much so that Zhu Jinghong, the person involved, was eating meat like a normal person.
"The Master said, if you don't cut it right, you won't eat it..."
"Baby girl, look at this piece of meat. You cut it diagonally. How can I eat it?"
There was no way, the two brothers started to quarrel, Zhu Jinghong could only have fun by himself, so he teased Baochai on his side.
"Then Thirteenth Master, you should do it yourself. Someone is helping you cut the meat...but you are doing the wrong thing!" Baochai looked dissatisfied, but also looked cute and charming.
Although she said that, Baochai still cut it carefully, and her hands were already stained with oil, which she could not imagine before.
Zhu Jinghong turned his head, looked at Baochai and said, "Look...but I'm reminding you, who said you were wrong!"
"Then since I helped you, what's the benefit?"
Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but ask: "What benefits do you want?"
"My brother will inevitably do something wrong. When Thirteenth Master goes to meet a foreigner this time... can you be more tolerant to him?"
Baochai asked tentatively, obviously she was not very sure that Zhu Jinghong would agree to the request.
Obviously Baochai understands that it is one thing for her to have a good relationship with Zhu Jinghong, but it is another thing for her brother.
Based on her understanding of Zhu Jinghong, it was extremely difficult for her to be merciful in serious matters.
"It's just a small thing!"
Zhu Jinghong answered casually, and then asked: "By the way, why haven't we heard anything about the sachet I asked you to make? Have you forgotten it?"
Baochai immediately explained: "Who forgot? It's just that the empress is keeping a close eye on the princess today, and there are many things going on at the princess's side...that's why it was delayed!"
"Speaking of which... I have something else I need your help with!"
"What's the matter?"
"This time you leave the palace and help me bring some things home, okay?"
"You can't cut the meat well, you can't make the sachet, and you still beg me to do something...Bao girl, you owe me a favor that I can't repay!"
Looking at the smiling Zhu Jinghong, Baochai calmly replied: "According to Thirteenth Master's calculation, it's impossible to calculate..."
Picking up the wine glass, Zhu Jinghong took a sip and said, "Pay it back slowly...you can always pay it back!"
When the two of them were talking and laughing, Yang Jingting and Zhen Qin, standing opposite, felt like their hearts were being twisted.
This is what we call... extreme love will inevitably hurt you!
