"The great monk came to see me. What do you want to see?"
Zhu Xuan asked curiously.
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, I'm just curious. If the little emperor grandson minds, I'll leave now."
Zhu Xuan didn't say anything, with an expression of "I really mind, you'd better leave as soon as possible".
Yao Guangxiao: "..."
"You're kidding, can you chat with me, little emperor? I can also tell you a story."
Yao Guangxiao stopped being polite and sat next to Zhu Xuan. He took Zhu Xuan's hand with a kind face and touched it gently. This technique is called bone touching.
This great monk has learned a little bit about everything, including touching bones. He can tell people's fates, figure out heaven's secrets, etc. by touching bones. As for whether it is accurate or not, only Yao Guangxiao himself knows.
Zhu Xuan tilted his head to watch him touching his hands, and asked curiously: "Great monk, what are you touching?"
Hou Xian felt something was wrong, so he immediately came over and stared at the other person with unfriendly eyes.
"I just think that the little emperor's grandson has amazing bones."
Yao Guangxiao felt Hou Xian's eyes and understood that if this continued, there might be a fight. He took back his hands with a smile and said: "The little emperor's bones are very good, especially suitable for martial arts training. I have some special skills that I want to pass on to you. .”
Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "Not interested!"
Hou Xian's skills have not yet been mastered by him.
If you continue to learn the skills of this evil-minded monk, you may become a bad person, which is not surprising at all.
"Pity!"
Yao Guangxiao's reason for practicing martial arts was just a reason. After being rejected, he didn't feel anything, and said: "My special skills will be lost if I can't find the right person."
After a moment of pause, he stood up and said, "I was abrupt and disturbed His Highness just now. I don't want to disturb you anymore, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, he bowed and walked to the back hall.
Zhu Xuan was baffled.
The great monk's words and deeds were so strange that he even wondered, could it be his fourth uncle who wanted to test him?
Zhu Xuan knew that his fourth uncle wanted to be the emperor, and that Yao Guangxiao's contribution was indispensable for him to become Emperor Yongle in the future. He asked, "Sanbao, who is this great monk?"
"Return to your highness!"
"That's Master Daoyan. After Queen Xiaocigao died of illness, His Majesty selected some eminent monks to accompany the kings, chant sutras and pray for blessings. Master Daoyan was with His Highness King Yan at that time."
Ma Sanbao introduced.
Zhu Xuan had long known Yao Guangxiao's origins. After listening to Ma Sanbao's words, he made a small expression of realization and asked: "The great monk was very strange just now. Was he also this strange before?"
"I don't know this slave."
Ma Sanbao shook his head slightly.
He is still just an eunuch and has not been able to get in touch with Zhu Di's core. He was given the surname Zheng. He was only given the surname Zheng after he made meritorious service in the Battle of Zhengcunba during the Jingnan period.
Now there is a high probability that there will be no more Jingnan. Ma Sanbao failed to perform meritorious service and has not been reused by Zhu Di.
——
Yao Guangxiao returned to the back hall.
"Master, how is it?"
The bone touching just now was what Zhu Di asked Yao Guangxiao to do.
When he was at the Xu family, Zhu Di listed Zhu Xuan as his competitor and wanted Yao Guangxiao to give it a try. He still believed in the method of touching bones.
Because Yao Guangxiao looked at him like an emperor, and because of this, he wanted to compete.
"It's weird!"
"According to my judgment, he should be a person with a short lifespan. It is very likely that he died not long after he was born, but he can survive until now."
"What his fate is, I can't tell."
"The skeleton is also very strange. Maybe I am not good at studying and don't understand much, so I can't make a deep judgment."
Yao Guangxiao said.
He couldn't figure out anything except that Zhu Xuan might die young.
"The master said his lifespan is not long. How long can he live? He shouldn't have died young right after birth, otherwise he wouldn't have lived until now." Zhu Di quickly asked.
"That's also the weird thing."
Yao Guangxiao explained: "There are really not many things that can be found on his bones. Maybe I saw it wrong, or maybe he would have died young, so nothing else can be found. He is still alive now, maybe in a few years." It’s gone.”
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhu Di put aside his worries.
The person who threatens him the most is no longer Zhu Xuan, but Zhu Yunxi.
For a child who will not live long, no matter how favored he is, it doesn't matter. He feels much better instantly. Next, he has to concentrate on dealing with Zhu Yunxi and let his father's attention return to him.
Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Highness, you're welcome!"
Zhu Di didn't talk to Yao Guangxiao anymore. He went back outside and saw Zhu Xuan. He smiled and said, "Xiao Yunxuan, your cousins have other things to do. How about I accompany you around?"
"My nephew can't trouble my fourth uncle."
Zhu Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "The fourth uncle is our Ming Dynasty's most capable uncle Wang. How can my nephew delay the fourth uncle's affairs?"
This child is so well-behaved.
Also very sensible.
To be honest, Zhu Di also likes this child very much. It's better if he doesn't threaten him now. He said: "Fourth uncle is fine today. There is no trouble at all. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can play more at fourth uncle's house. What do you like to eat?" I’ll let the people in the kitchen do it later.”
"Chicken legs, big chicken legs!"
Zhu Xuan said happily.
"OK, no problem!"
Zhu Di changed his strategy towards Zhu Xuan.
Perhaps he could get his father's attention through his nephew. Zhu Di believed in such operations as touching bones. He also trusted Yao Guangxiao and thought there would be no problem.
Zhu Xuan stayed at Zhu Di's house until evening.
The three cousins came back and played with him. Zhu Gaoxu continued to talk about fighting on the battlefield, which enriched the fun at his fourth uncle's house.
Before leaving, Zhu Xuan asked: "Fourth uncle, can my nephew ask you to be alone?"
"VIP?"
Zhu Di was very surprised about this: "Who does Xiao Yunxuan want? Why do you ask me for someone?"
"Sambo!"
Zhu Xuan pointed to Ma Sanbao next to him, and said: "My nephew thinks he is very good, as good as my Hou Xian, and he is very good at taking care of people. If the fourth uncle is willing to give it to his nephew, he wants to take him back to the palace." Here, Grandpa Huang will also agree."
Hearing what the little emperor grandson said, Ma Sanbao was stunned.
As expected, this little emperor's grandson had an agenda for him, and he even directly asked for someone to take him back to the palace.
"Ma Sanbao, please stay with little Yunxuan from now on!"
Zhu Di didn't think anything of being a eunuch slave and didn't care at all.
It doesn’t matter if it’s given away.
He just felt that Zhu Xuan was a child at heart. Just now Ma Sanbao was nice to him and wanted to take him away.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Little Emperor!"
Ma Sanbao could only obey the arrangement.
As a eunuch, he has no autonomy. He can only do whatever his master asks him to do. No matter which prince or grandson he is with, it doesn't really make much difference.
"Thank you, Uncle Fourth!"
Zhu Xuan glanced outside and said, "It's getting late. My nephew should go back. He will come to play with his fourth uncle in the future."
"Gao Xu, give me a gift as a gift for my cousin."
Zhu Di warned: "Send it outside the palace gate, and be sure to protect little Yunxuan's safety."
"OK!"
Zhu Gaoxu readily agreed and had a pretty good impression of his little cousin.
