"Give him the jade pendant, okay?"
Zhu Di rode at the front of the army and looked at Lan Yu with some confusion. After enduring it all the way, he couldn't help but ask.
Although he is Lan Yu's deputy general, he is the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the relationship between the two can be regarded as both teacher and friend.
"I see that boy becoming more and more pleasing to my eyes."
Lan Yu glanced back in the direction of the capital and responded with a somewhat vicissitudes of tone.
"Do you think he looks a bit like my elder brother?"
Zhu Di and Lan Yu had led troops together for so long, and they could tell what Lan Yu was thinking at a glance and pointed it out directly.
In fact, not only Lan Yu, but also Zhu Di himself felt the same way.
He also admired his eldest brother from the bottom of his heart.
When he was born, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even among the rebels under the Xiao Ming King, he was not the strongest.
It was Zhu Biao who brought up these brothers during the war and chaos. This feeling cannot be erased overnight.
Lan Yu and Zhu Biao also have a comrade-in-arms relationship, and I guess I saw a bit of Zhu Biao in the little emperor's grandson.
"Um."
Lan Yu didn't deny it and nodded silently.
Not only the eyebrows, but also the mature look are somewhat similar to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang were sitting in the sedan chair returning to the palace. They couldn't help sneezing and rubbed their noses in confusion.
Why did I suddenly sneeze on this hot day?
"Your Majesty, there is someone stopping you ahead."
The eunuch's voice interrupted Zhu Ming's thinking. He knelt in front of the sedan and said in a deep voice.
Intercepting a holy driver is a serious crime.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was a peasant emperor and was tolerant to the people. They were not easy to drive away, so they could only come to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions.
"Who?"
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the curtain impatiently, looked at the girl standing in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle Zhu."
The girl shouted, and the next second, Zhu Ming was lifted out of the sedan by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Walking around, if you meet the little emperor grandson and the others, I'll want your head."
Zhu Ming turned around and heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice coming from the sedan. Then these people walked directly to the palace without waiting for him.
"Xu Miaojin, why are you here?"
Zhu Ming turned around awkwardly, looked at Xu Miaojin, scratched his head, his aura weakened, and asked aloud.
"You went to the military camp?"
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming impatiently. It could be seen from her expression that she must have been waiting here for a long time.
"Grandpa Huang took me there, there's nothing I can do about it."
Zhu Ming sighed helplessly. He was also very painful when he was woken up early in the morning.
"You won't take me with you!"
Xu Miao's tone was full of regret and dissatisfaction.
She had liked reading military books and practicing weapons since she was a child. She naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to go to the military camp.
It's a pity that now that the army has moved out, she doesn't have a chance to take a look.
"You didn't say anything either."
Zhu Ming also suddenly felt aggrieved. He was woken up early in the morning, so he didn't know that Xu Miaojin wanted to go.
"By the way, do you want this?"
Seeing Xu Miaojin's yearning for the military camp, Zhu Ming still took out the jade pendant Lan Yu gave him and gave it to Xu Miaojin's hand.
Lan Yu is a military attache, so this object probably has something to do with the military camp.
"This is?"
Xu Miaojin glanced down, with a confused look on her face.
What is this guy doing with a jade pendant for nothing?
"This is what General Lan Yu gave me. I think it should be able to make up for your regret."
Zhu Ming said and presented the jade pendant to Xu Miaojin again.
"This thing cannot be given away casually."
Xu Miaojin's face suddenly became serious, she held Zhu Ming's hand and sent the jade pendant back.
Seeing that Zhu Ming was a little confused, he took another step forward and whispered in Zhu Ming's ear: "This thing is equivalent to the token given to you by the general!"
"In the future, when you go in and out of the military camp, with this thing around, no one will dare to stop you."
After hearing Xu Miaojin's words, Zhu Ming realized the importance of this jade pendant, took it back and put it away carefully.
This is a keepsake of the military camp and cannot be thrown away casually.
I am too young to use it now.
But after a few years, I'm afraid this jade pendant will be of great use.
"How do you know so clearly?"
He put away the jade pendant and then raised his head to look at Xu Miaojin.
How come this little girl knows so much about this?
"I have them at home too, but unfortunately my brother never lets me touch them."
Xu Miaojin pouted her mouth and complained with some dissatisfaction.
Although she likes military affairs, her family never lets her touch these things.
"Also, it belongs to the Duke of Wei."
Only then did Zhu Ming realize that Xu Miaojin was the daughter of Wei Guogong. With Wei Guogong's prestige in the military, there must be someone like this who could be used as a jade pendant.
"Remember the last time you owed me a favor?"
Xu Miaojin touched her chin and pondered for a while. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she raised her head and looked at Zhu Ming.
The last time he went to the bank, Zhu Ming used his identity as the daughter of Duke Wei to owe him a favor.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhu Ming took a step back warily, looked at Xu Miaojin like a fox, and asked aloud.
This little girl may be holding back some bad water.
"How about you use this jade pendant to take me to the military camp?"
Xu Miaojin smiled evilly and stuck it towards Zhu Ming, with an apologetic smile on her face.
She really wanted to visit the military camp, and it would be a pity not to go now that she had the chance.
"That's not okay. Let's wait until we grow up."
Zhu Ming looked at Xu Miaojin who was smiling apologetically, and shook his head seriously.
At their current age, they are still a little too young to go out to the military camp tent.
If you can go there when you grow up, that's not impossible.
"That's settled!"
Xu Miaojin became excited instantly.
Although I can’t go now, I can go in the future.
"Is your information accurate?"
In the East Palace, Mrs. Lu frowned, looked at the eunuch kneeling below, and spoke in a deep voice.
The face that still retains charm is now deep in thought.
"It's absolutely true. I personally watched His Majesty take the little emperor's grandson there."
The eunuch lowered his head in fear and responded affirmatively again.
How could he be wrong about such a big thing as His Majesty taking the young emperor's grandson to the military camp?
"Um."
Madam Lu nodded in recognition, but her brows furrowed a little tighter and knitted into a ball.
Your Majesty, why did you bring that boy to the military camp early in the morning?
Now that Yunwen's status is unstable, it is still necessary for someone in the court to stabilize his position as prince.
However, His Majesty took the boy to the Duke of Wei's Mansion first, and then took him to see Lan Yu.
All of these things can't be explained clearly with just a word of love. I'm afraid there are hidden reasons.
