"I'm fine."
At the door of Wei Guogong's mansion, Zhu Mingcai shook his head when Liu Jin called him back to his senses and turned back to look at Xu Miaojin.
"I'm going back."
After saying that, he took Liu Jin and Ande to the palace.
"Who is that kid?"
It wasn't until he reached the entrance of the palace that Ander looked back with some confusion and asked a question with some confusion.
"Don't you understand this? Even if it is the sweetheart of the little emperor's grandson."
Liu Jin immediately started laughing.
That girl was really powerful. My little emperor and grandson didn't lose out in front of those princes and grandsons, but was crushed to death by that girl.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not decided yet."
Listening to the teasing of the two people behind him, Zhu Ming could only roll his eyes helplessly.
This matter has not been decided yet. Who knows whether it will happen or not. What if Xu Miaojin is not satisfied when the time comes.
"I see."
But even though Zhu Ming had intended to clarify, Ander still acted as if he hadn't heard and nodded thoughtfully from behind.
"never mind."
Zhu Ming could only smile bitterly in his heart and let them go.
"There are not many vacancies in this side courtyard. You and Liu Jin should make do with it."
Something happened suddenly. Zhu Ming's palace was originally a side courtyard with not many houses, and there was no Ande's room at all.
Zhu Ming had no choice but to arrange him and Liu Jin together.
"OK."
Ander agreed simply. Everything was better in this palace than in that alley.
Liu Jin had no objection and just agreed.
Anyway, Ander will probably only stay here for a few days. After a few days, His Majesty will confer him an official title and he will move out.
"Liu Jin, go and see if there is any book that teaches how to make bows and arrows."
After arranging Ande's residence, Zhu Ming gave instructions to Liu Jin.
"Bow making book?"
Liu Jin was even more curious as to why his little imperial grandson was interested in making weapons.
If you want any weapons, just let him get them.
"Oh, you just go."
Seeing Liu Jin still stopping there, Zhu Ming urged him impatiently.
Just let him go, why bother?
"yes."
Liu Jin then retreated, and after a long time he brought over a dusty book. He also held a piece of processed bamboo and some beef tendons in his hands. Even on his back, he should be carrying a book. Package tools.
"I thought that if the little emperor wanted to make a bow by himself, it would be useful, so I went to find someone to get some tools."
As Liu Jin spoke, he handed the bamboo and book he brought into Zhu Ming's hand.
"Well, let's all go down."
Zhu Ming picked up the bamboo and weighed it. The weight was neither light nor heavy.
After Liu Jin and Ande left, Zhu Ming sat aside and started to flip through the book.
"This bow is pretty good."
He just muttered a few words and then started playing with the tools according to what was written in the book. From time to time he took out the hairpin that Xu Miaojin gave him and took a look at it.
Ever since he saw the unrepaired bow at Duke Wei's mansion, he had been thinking about making a new one for Xu Miaojin.
Xu Miaojin, apart from being a bit strong, is not too bad. In other words, she is actually quite good.
It's up to Liu Jin to worry about Ande's bedding.
Since returning to the side hall, Zhu Ming has been immersed in making a satisfactory bow for Xu Miaojin.
It wasn't until I couldn't stand it any longer that I hurriedly washed up and went to bed.
Perhaps it was too exhausting, and Zhu Ming even woke up naturally.
Even when people from the palace came to tell Ander to go to the main hall, they only made him open his eyes in confusion and then fell back to sleep.
"It's over!"
When Zhu Ming opened his eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Looking at the scorching sun, Zhu Ming also panicked, hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, and ran towards the main hall as fast as he could.
"Little grandson, you're a little late today."
When Zhu Ming arrived at the main hall, Mr. Zhu turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
Although his tone sounded gentle, there was no smile in his eyes.
In order to enable many princes and grandsons to study hard, Zhu Yuanzhang has always given these gentlemen great power.
Even Zhu Ming, they have the right to discipline.
"Please also ask the little grandson to stand at the door for a while, waiting for the old man to finish teaching this lesson."
After the old gentleman finished speaking, Zhu Ming could only say "Yes" obediently, lowered his head and retreated out the door.
Isn't this just a punishment for standing? This routine has not changed at all over the years.
The other princes and grandsons all laughed when they saw Zhu Ming being disciplined by the old gentleman.
Only Xu Miaojin, although seeing Zhu Ming coming so late, was a little unhappy.
But when I saw that so many princes and grandsons were smiling secretly, they also frowned in displeasure.
It wasn't until the old gentleman left that Zhu Ming was allowed into the classroom.
"Why are you here so late today?"
As soon as Zhu Minggang sat down, Xu Miaojin came over immediately, put his hands on his hips, and began to question him.
"I was so tired last night that I overslept."
Zhu Ming lowered his head and scratched in embarrassment, and his replying voice became softer.
"Forget it, I won't talk about you this time."
Seeing Zhu Ming's guilty look, and remembering that Zhu Ming still accompanied him home last night even after it was dark tomorrow, Xu Miaojin didn't get angry anymore.
Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, only to realize that he had made the bow all night last night and was in a hurry, so he didn't even bring it with him.
"What are you looking for?"
Seeing Zhu Ming looking around, Xu Miaojin asked curiously.
"nothing."
Zhu Ming was embarrassed to mention it to Xu Miaojin because he didn't bring the bow he made. He could only shake his head and deal with it casually.
"All right."
Seeing that Zhu Ming refused to tell him, Xu Miaojin felt inexplicably disappointed, and then changed the topic: "You don't seem to be very welcome here."
She said while looking at the people around her.
Those people also shrank back after being glanced at by Xu Miaojin.
"This...is indeed a bit."
Zhu Ming could only reluctantly agree with Xu Miaojin's statement.
He really doesn't have many friends in the main hall, especially after he taught Zhu Su and Zhu Su a lesson.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It would be best if these royal relatives did not come to provoke him.
"Don't talk about this."
He didn't want to continue this topic and looked directly into Xu Miaojin's eyes: "After school is over, come with me."
He finally made the bow, and now he couldn't wait to show it to Xu Miaojin.
Although he is definitely not as good as Xu Da, he thinks he is not too bad.
"Follow you?"
Seeing Zhu Ming rarely take such initiative, Xu Miaojin was stunned for a moment before nodding blankly.
For the next whole day, Xu Miaojin had no intention of listening, and was only curious about why Zhu Ming was looking for her.
