"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong?"
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's serious look and asked curiously.
"Lin'er, what do you think of Uncle Lan Yu?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, trying to soften his attitude.
If Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunwen can't suppress this Lan Yu, then he can only...
Anyway, Zhu Di is now able to take charge of the job on his own, so he may not be needed.
"He is brave and good at fighting, and he is a brave general."
Zhu Ming thought for a moment, then raised his head and answered seriously.
This Lan Yu is indeed a bit arrogant. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Zhu Yuanzhang gets rid of him.
However, I might try to win over him.
"Really."
Hearing Zhu Ming's evaluation of Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded hesitantly.
He knew Lan Yu's ability to command troops.
Since Zhu Ming evaluated him like this, then give him another chance.
"Jin'er, how about we stay and have dinner together tonight?"
After asking Zhu Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mouth again, grinned, and lowered his head to tease Xu Miaojin.
"good."
Xu Miaojin also responded simply. It was a rare visit to see Uncle Lanyu come back.
Although his father would probably ask his eldest brother Xu Yungong to attend instead of Wei Guogong, Uncle Zhu had already spoken, so the problem shouldn't be big.
Until the dinner started, Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin were directly arranged to sit on both sides of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Everyone was shocked again as they watched.
Since Queen Ma and Zhu Biao were gone, no one has sat in these two seats.
"Why is that commoner sitting next to Grandpa Huang?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at it, feeling even more unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice to the princess on the side.
As the eldest grandson of the emperor, he and the Crown Princess naturally had a share in the banquet.
But when I saw Zhu Ming sitting on it, I felt it was too dazzling.
Xu Miaojin is the daughter of Wei Guogong. The emperor regards her as his own and does not care about her at all.
Who is that commoner?
"So please be careful with him."
The Crown Princess also glanced at Zhu Ming with gritted teeth and reminded Zhu Yunwen in a low voice.
She now feels more and more that this child will compete with her Yunwen for the position of heir apparent.
"It seems that my father really loves you, kid."
Zhu Di changed into a long-sleeved official robe, leaned over and looked at Zhu Ming with a smile.
If we hadn't known that this boy was not blood related to his father, based on his position alone, he would have been able to conclude that this boy would be a strong candidate for the future crown prince.
"Jin'er, where is your brother?"
Lan Yu, who was beside Zhu Di, looked at Xu Miaojin sitting at the table and asked in surprise.
Of course he was talking about Xu Miaojin's brother, Xu Yungong.
"Brother, he will be there in a moment."
Xu Miaojin glanced at the officials and responded calmly.
"How is Mr. Wei Guo doing?"
Lan Yu nodded when she heard Xu Miaojin's answer, and then asked with concern.
I was in the court during the day and didn't have time to ask, so now I have time to ask.
Among the hundreds of officials in the court, only Xu Da, the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty who was more powerful than Chang Yuchun, could convince Lan Yu.
With the same military background, Xu Da no longer interferes with military affairs, and his prestige in the military is still unmatched.
"The doctor who visited me this morning said that I need to rest for a few days."
Xu Miaojin said and grinned.
Xu Da was fine, and Xu Miaojin was in a good mood.
"That's good, that's good."
Lan Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to his position, which seemed to be sincere.
"Everyone, you're late!"
Just after the conversation here, a cheerful voice came from outside.
Xu Yungong, dressed in court uniform, walked in grandly, walked up to Lan Yu, and bowed first: "General, my father is in poor health and asked me to come here on his behalf to pay homage."
"Whatever you say, I hope Duke Wei will take care of himself."
Lan Yu also stood up and returned the salute with a serious look.
Faced with Xu Yungong, who was born in the military like him and was also a member of the Huaixi noble family, Lan Yu was not so arrogant.
As he said that, he sighed with regret: "There are still troops on the front line, but I have to go back to the border in the next few days. I can't come to the door in person. Please forgive me."
Hearing that Lan Yu was going back to the border in the next few days, Xu Yungong's face also darkened, and he looked at Lan Yu with some worry: "Will the general come this time?"
"well."
Lan Yu looked around, as if she had some taboo, and just sighed helplessly.
Seeing that Lan Yu was inconvenient to say more, Xu Yungong stopped asking questions and just exchanged some pleasantries before walking to the seat below Xu Miaojin and sitting down.
Logically speaking, with Xu Yungong's official position, he shouldn't be sitting there.
But today he was attending on behalf of the Duke of Wei, so the civil and military officials did not dare to say anything.
"The Holy One has arrived!"
Yun Qi shouted in a high-pitched voice, causing all the officials at the table to stop their greetings, bow down in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly passed by the officials and walked between Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin: "Today, General Lan Yu and King Yan Zhu Di returned to the capital. This banquet is to welcome them and cleanse them from the dust. Don't be so formal, everyone can sit down."
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had already sat down.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, all the officials sat back.
Even if there was something unreported during the day, no one would dare to spoil Zhu Yuanzhang's enthusiasm.
This is how the banquet really went on.
Eating delicious food, drinking juice, watching beauties, and enjoying themselves for the time being.
On weekdays, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. It is rare to have such a relaxing time.
Only Zhu Ming, after seeing Lan Yu's embarrassed look when talking to Xu Yungong, was sure that the scene would not end so simply.
Especially now, everyone is enjoying the sensuality, only Zhu Di and Lan Yu are making eye contact.
They must have something to do when they return to Beijing this time, and it is something that is not easy to talk about.
Zhu Ming thought, then raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.
The old man was drinking wine, closing his eyes and shaking his head to the tune, looking very happy and happy.
I don’t know if he has any other opinions about Lan Yu and Zhu Di coming back this time.
Seeing that they were full of wine and food, and the moon was setting in the west, the banquet was almost over.
Zhu Di and Lan Yu also looked increasingly anxious.
Finally, Lan Yu couldn't help but stood up from the table and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.
"General, what's going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lan Yu who stood up, and spoke in a deep voice.
There was no emotional change in Gujing Mubo's eyes, but it still made people feel fearful.
