"Grandpa Huang must be hiding something from me."
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was trying to persuade him with a bitter look on his face, but he couldn't figure out why he wasn't allowed to go.
Whether it is possible has something to do with one's own life experience.
If you think about it carefully, you are an outsider. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang pities you, there is no need to raise him personally and treat him so well.
From the moment the question arises, everything that was taken for granted around me becomes so suspicious.
"how could be?"
Zhu Ming's repeated questioning put Zhu Yuanzhang in a dilemma.
Come on, now is not the time.
Don't tell him, he doesn't feel comfortable letting Zhu Ming go to the East Palace.
"Liu Jin, go tell the people in the East Palace that I will go to the banquet tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, Zhu Ming became more suspicious. He turned around and asked Liu Jin to go out and tell the person in the East Palace seriously.
"Don't go."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he turned around, glared at Liu Jin, and scolded him sternly.
"You are mine, listen to me."
"I am the emperor, listen to me!"
The grandfather and grandson stared at each other with big eyes, but no one could convince the other.
Only Liu Jin looked at Zhu Ming for a while and Zhu Yuanzhang for a while. He couldn't afford to offend either side and didn't even have the courage to speak out to comfort him.
"Grandpa Huang, you can either tell me the truth, or I can go to the East Palace and ask myself."
Zhu Ming saw that there was no way to continue arguing like this, so he threw out the two options and said nothing.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became quiet. If he told this matter, if it spread, it would be even more difficult to prevent that person from plotting against Zhu Ming.
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally sighed.
"You can go, but you have to be careful about everything."
He glanced at Zhu Ming helplessly. Now that he had become an emperor, for the sake of the world, he was not as free as before.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang finally compromised, Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment. Even he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would let him go to the East Palace.
"I'll find out tomorrow."
He lowered his head and responded quietly.
"Liu Jin."
Zhu Ming turned around and glanced at Liu Jin again, with a knowing look.
This time he was not embarrassed, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then retreated silently.
"My dear grandson, as long as you know that your grandpa will not harm you, that's all."
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Ming one last helpless look, sighed, stood up and walked out of the side courtyard.
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back and felt sentimental for no reason.
Lao Zhu is old after all.
But he still has to find out his own life experience.
I can't live in such a muddle-headed way.
"Oh, that guy will come tomorrow?"
Listening to the news she got from her servants, Mrs. Lu was a little excited but also a little suspicious.
If His Majesty really knew the child's life experience, why would he allow Zhu Ming to come to his place as a guest?
What on earth are these two people thinking?
Not only did Lu have doubts in her heart, but Zhu Ming, who had agreed to come, was also uneasy.
Although Lu, as the Crown Princess, would not do anything to her in public.
Just like ghosts, everyone knows they don't exist, but they are still afraid of them.
After not sleeping all night, Zhu Ming just lay on the bed all night.
It was not until early the next morning that Zhu Ming sat up from the bed in frustration.
"No matter what, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
He shook his head and calmed himself down a little before washing up and changing clothes.
After all, if you are going to the East Palace, you still need to put in some superficial effort.
"Liu Jin, let's go."
When everything was ready, Zhu Ming turned around, glanced at Liu Jin who was serving behind him, and strode towards the door.
"My dear grandson, don't drink or eat anything when you get there, do you understand?"
As soon as they walked out of the side courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked up and gave instructions again with a worried look on his face.
That Lu family did everything to kill people and silence them. Zhu Ming was lucky enough to survive.
Now that he was in the tiger's mouth again, he really couldn't rest assured.
"I understand, Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Ming responded seriously as well, Lao Zhu's concern was always genuine.
"Let's go, Liu Jin."
After looking at Zhu Yuanzhang again, Zhu Ming headed outside the Daming Palace.
Looking at the back of his darling grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to persuade him again, but he remembered Zhu Ming's stubborn look yesterday and finally gave up.
Let him go there for a while, just think of it as exercise.
If you become the emperor in the future, it will be quite tiring to scheming with the ministers in the court alone.
When Zhu Ming walked away, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed, and he scolded no one with a cold face.
"Let Jin Yiwei keep an eye on us. If our dear grandson loses a hair, he won't have to live anymore."
The words fell, but no one responded, only a rustling of wind and grass.
Lu, if you dare to harm my sweet grandson again, you will be doomed.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, go tell the Crown Princess that the little emperor Zhu Ming is here to pay her respects."
Zhu Ming walked to the door of the East Palace, looked obedient again, and saluted the eunuch guarding the door.
Nominally speaking, the Crown Princess is his elder. This is the first time to invite him, but he still has to do it to save face.
When the eunuch at the gate saw that it was the young emperor's grandson who came to the door, he didn't dare to stop him. He walked in to welcome Zhu Ming and asked Zhu Ming to sit down before going to report.
Zhu Ming looked around and saw that the cakes and tea were all ready. It seemed that Mrs. Lu had given the order yesterday.
"My little grandson, I finally see you."
Not long after, Mrs. Lu came out from the inner room, looked at Zhu Ming kindly, smiled and said hello.
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Ming without leaving any trace and was shocked.
This kid does look a bit like Zhu Biao.
Is it possible that by such a coincidence, the child was really saved by Zhu Yuanzhang?
"Junior Zhu Ming has met the Crown Princess."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming also stood up and saluted Mr. Lu.
"Our family doesn't have so many etiquette."
Lu also smiled and waved to Zhu Ming, telling him not to be so reserved.
If others saw it, they might misunderstand how much they love each other.
"Princess, I don't know if I want to invite Zhu Ming here. What can I do for you?"
Zhu Ming didn't want to talk too much nonsense and asked directly.
The Crown Princess invited herself here, there must be something going on.
"It's just that at the last dinner, I saw that you were very smart, so I wanted to take a look at you."
As the princess spoke, she walked closer to Zhu Ming, stretched out her hand, and wanted to touch Zhu Ming's head.
Zhu Ming ducked back and quietly distanced himself from the Crown Princess.
He didn't have a good impression of the Crown Princess, and seemed a little resistant to this kind of intimacy.
The Crown Princess's hand froze and she took it back in embarrassment.
