(Two chapters combined into one)
In the evening, lanterns have begun to be lit in the Forbidden City.
Lights were lit in various places, and the Forbidden City under the night sky had a unique beauty that was not seen during the day.
King Yan Zhu Di, together with Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi and others, headed towards Kunning Palace to prepare for the banquet.
As a result, halfway through, Zhu Di suddenly turned around and headed towards Shouning Palace.
He thought about it carefully and decided to go see his sister, Princess Ningguo, at this special moment and ask his second sister to come out and attend the dinner party with them.
Only my family attended this banquet, it was a family banquet.
In addition, this time, after they received the urgent report, they immediately rushed towards Nanjing City non-stop.
So the family members are behind.
It is equivalent to saying that only the father, the emperor and the empress are waiting for these people. Except for the crown prince, Yunwen and Yunxi, the other sisters-in-law will not participate.
There are really no outsiders.
No matter how sensitive the second sister is, she can't still be afraid of herself.
A few of them would only feel sorry for her, and no one would look at her differently.
Moreover, it had been two years since he had gone out this time, which meant that he had not seen her for two years. After not seeing her for a long time, he really missed her.
"Fourth, what are you doing?!"
Zhu Biao noticed Zhu Di's movements and hurriedly shouted.
Zhu Biao has not yet decided whether he wants his brothers to know about Han Cheng's existence, and he is still hesitating until now.
"I'm going to Shouning Palace to see my second sister! Come as soon as you go. Brother, you go there first!"
Zhu Di answered and ran towards Shouning Palace.
Seeing Zhu Di's behavior, Zhu Biao became a little anxious.
"Come back! Don't go! If you go there now, it will only make Yourong uncomfortable!"
Zhu Di said: "Brother, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't show mercy!
Think about it, we are reunited here, and the second sister is alone in Shouning Palace, how lonely it is..."
When he said this, Zhu Di brought himself into the environment of his second sister Yourong. Thinking about it, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
His second sister's life is so miserable!
This time he is back, no matter what, he must help her and come out of the shadows!
I just want to go see her and bring her to this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet!
Zhu Di has already made this determination, and no one can do it!
Today, even if the sky falls, he will bring his second sister to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet!
This is what Zhu Di said! !
"Father has made it clear that he will not let the past disturb Yourong. It's not that he doesn't know how much he feels sorry for Yourong.
Once this happens to you and Yourong becomes sad, my father will never let you go.
Fourth child, you don’t want your butt to become like the second child, right? "
Zhu Biao's voice sounded again.
Zhu Di, who had changed from trotting to running quickly, made up his mind, stopped immediately.
He hesitated for a moment, thinking about the dick's butt and the ferocious way his father looked when he spanked his dick today, and then he came back decisively.
Although it was quite satisfying to watch my dick being spanked today, it really wouldn't feel that good if the whip fell on me.
"Brother is right. I'd better not disturb Yourong anymore. It won't be too late to meet her another day."
Zhu Di returned to Zhu Biao, looked at Zhu Xi who was lying on a stretcher and being carried, and said: "I am not afraid of being beaten by my father. How many beatings have I received since I was a child?
When did you cry out for pain?
I have already developed excellent iron anus skills!
My father's beatings fell on me, but it was just a drizzle.
I was worried that my second sister would be even more sad, so I couldn't let it go. "
Zhu Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I know, I know, big brother understands."
Zhu Xi couldn't help but stretched out his hand and scratched his head, feeling that something was not quite right.
But when he heard that the eldest brother agreed with what the fourth brother said, he immediately said: "Me too, fourth brother, I understand too. You are right."
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
King Qin Zhu Xi also laughed, and for a while the air was filled with joy.
After laughing a few times, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di's eyes became a little cold.
The second brother is such an honest person, and it is really hateful that Deng would humiliate him like this!
The king must not be humiliated!
We must deal with Mrs. Deng and use her life to wash away the shame she brought to the second child!
The second child is their brother, they can bully him, but others can't! !
…
The door of Kunning Palace was open, and in the doorway below the door, there was a table filled with dishes, fruits and vegetables.
Queen Ma is sitting here.
Outside the gate of Kunning Palace, two round tables were placed seven or eight feet away.
Sitting at a table were Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, and Qin King Zhu Fang who was lying on a stretcher, as well as several other princes who were about to come of age and had not yet gone out to join the vassal.
Sitting around another table were Crown Princess Lu, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi, and other children, big and small.
Some are even younger than Zhu Yunxi.
These children are naturally not Zhu Biao's children, but the sons of Boss Zhu.
Boss Zhu is a serious and energetic workaholic.
Not to mention the extremely heavy workload every day, there has been no delay in creating people.
Princes and princesses were born one after another.
So now, it is not surprising that the son and daughter are younger than the grandson.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally in a bad mood, but seeing the many sons and daughters gathered in front of him, Lao Zhu temporarily let go of his worries and became happy.
"See, how blessed are you to have many children! With many people, there is great power!
Our family used to have a relatively small number of people, but then we suffered a disaster and almost everyone was destroyed.
Now that conditions are good, it is important to have more children so that our old Zhu family can flourish. This is the serious business.
How wonderful it is to have a house full of descendants! "
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di, who were already married, and said: "You all work hard and have more children. Don't worry about not being able to support them. We will help you support them as many as you have!"
You two together don't have as many children as your father alone, which is not a good thing..."
Princess Lu, the princess at the other table, lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
"Eat your food well. This dinner party has just begun. You haven't even drank much wine yet, and you're already drunk? Can't you keep your mouth shut? You're so old!"
A voice floated from a distance.
But it turned out that it was Empress Ma who couldn't stand hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say these words in front of his daughter-in-law and so many children.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was talking with great interest, turned around and looked at Queen Ma when he heard what Empress Ma said. He laughed and said, "No more, no more. Anyway, that's what your father meant. Just understand!"
As he said that, he raised his glass and asked everyone to have a drink...
…
"moon cake!"
"It's mooncakes!"
Halfway through the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, someone served mooncakes.
After seeing the mooncakes, some young princes and princesses couldn't help shouting with joy.
Even though they are princes and princesses, these mooncakes are only made in the palace on August 15th and cannot be eaten on weekdays.
That's why I was so excited to see him at this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang took two pieces, one to eat himself and the other to Queen Ma.
As for Zhu Biao, he took the remaining large plate of mooncakes and distributed them to the younger brothers and sisters present, four pieces each.
After giving them to the younger brothers and sisters, they gave them to Crown Princess Lu, Zhu Yunzhen and Zhu Yunxi.
Then take it and eat it yourself.
As soon as everyone ate the moon cake, they immediately felt that it was particularly delicious.
Zhu Di and others even felt that the mooncakes were the only things Xu Xingzu could eat.
This year, Xu Xingzu’s craftsmanship is definitely the best.
The appearance of mooncakes brought the atmosphere of this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to its peak.
Zhu Di looked at the lively atmosphere, and then at his father who was only talking to his mother.
After thinking about it, he secretly packed up his remaining three mooncakes, and then pretended to be convenient and left from here.
As soon as he left everyone's sight, Zhu Di quickened his pace and quickly headed to Shouning Palace...
Originally, after what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Di was no longer planning to go to Shouning Palace to meet his second sister, Princess Ningguo, today.
He was also quite afraid that his father would beat him.
But just now, after the mooncakes were served and the atmosphere suddenly became warm, Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore.
Think about it, they are so happy here, everyone gathers together, eating moon cakes and singing songs, it is called warm and lively.
But her second sister was alone in Shouning Palace.
It's okay to be alone on weekdays, but I'm afraid that when I'm alone, I'll encounter a day when thousands of families are reunited.
That kind of loneliness and strong contrast can definitely bring out the deepest scars in people's hearts...
Zhu Di could already imagine that his sister, whose legs were paralyzed and could not walk, was probably crying silently to the moon at this time.
On this great day when thousands of families were reunited, she was crying alone there...
You can't think too much about this situation. As soon as you think about it, Zhu Di feels very distressed.
He felt the urge to cry for his sister.
Zhu Di felt that if he went there this time, he would never do what his father, eldest brother and others said, and it would only make Yourong more uncomfortable.
He felt that his trip would only make his second sister happy.
Let her lonely heart be warmed, and let her know that at this moment, there are still people who are thinking about her and have never forgotten her.
Feeling the three mooncakes in his hand, Zhu Di became more confident about his trip.
My second sister has loved eating mooncakes since she was a child.
In the past, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the older brothers would each leave at least one piece of mooncake for their younger sisters.
Whenever this happens, my second sister will narrow her eyes into crescent moons with joy.
This time Xu Xingzu performed to his best, and the mooncakes he made were unexpectedly delicious.
If I go there with mooncakes this time, I will definitely make my second sister happy...
Thinking like this, Zhu Di walked faster and changed from walking quickly to running.
He can't wait to see his second sister...
…
"Where did the fourth child go?"
After Zhu Biao distributed mooncakes to everyone, he sat down and picked up a piece of mooncake and took a few bites, but found that Zhu Di was missing.
"Fourth brother left not long ago. He held his stomach while walking and walked very fast. It seems that he went out."
The person who spoke was Zhu Bai, the twelfth king of Xiang.
Hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded and didn't think any more.
After all, at ten o'clock this evening, I had stopped the fourth child once and clearly told the fourth child the consequences of doing so.
According to the character of the fourth child, it is impossible for him to go to Shouning Palace to see Yourong again.
But after waiting for a while and still no trace of Zhu Di, Zhu Biao was no longer so confident.
After waiting patiently for a while, Zhu Di still didn't come back. Zhu Biao couldn't sit still.
He also held his stomach and walked quickly away.
Fourth child, this is definitely the time to go to Shouning Palace to see Yourong!
Otherwise, I would never have stayed away for so long!
Unless it falls into the latrine!
But Zhu Biao didn't dare to say anything about this, for fear that his father would know about it.
Otherwise, according to his father's temper and the importance he attaches to Han Cheng, if the fourth child does such a thing without listening to advice, there will definitely be no good results.
Therefore, I also used urine to escape.
Zhu Bai, King of Xiang who had not yet ascended the throne, looked at the vacant seat of his fourth brother and then at his eldest brother who was holding his stomach and walking away quickly. He felt a little confused for a moment.
The child was a little confused by the manipulation of his two brothers.
After a while, he silently put down the mooncake in his hand.
He felt that he had seen through everything
In all likelihood, these were mooncakes made by imperial chef Xu Xingzu, and something went wrong. This led to the fourth brother and the eldest brother holding their stomachs and going out to pay tribute one after another after eating the mooncakes.
As a result, as soon as he put the mooncake down, a voice sounded: "Brother Twelve, you don't want to eat this mooncake, do you?"
This is a child of seven or eight years old. He is the thirteenth, King Zhu Gui of Yu.
Zhu Gui's face was still stained with some mooncake residue.
It was obvious that he had finished the pieces of mooncakes like a whirlwind.
As soon as Zhu Gui's voice rang out, his hand had already taken away Zhu Bai's moon cake.
"It's a pity that the mooncakes are left. I ate them for Brother Twelve!"
Zhu Bai was shocked when he saw this scene and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it back.
He was not afraid that Lao Shisan would eat his mooncakes, but he felt that there might be something wrong with the mooncakes, and Zhu Gui would get upset if he ate them.
The King of Yu, Zhu Gui, obviously misunderstood Zhu Bai's intention. He quickly and dexterously dodged Zhu Bai's hand.
And at a very fast speed, he quickly took a bite of these three mooncakes.
Then he hid aside and went to enjoy his spoils triumphantly.
While eating, he said: "Brother Twelve is so stingy. If my younger brother eats two mooncakes that you don't eat, you have to grab them."
When Zhu Bai, the King of Xiang, saw this, he hesitated to speak. In the end, he did not say that he would probably get upset after eating the moon cakes.
I'm worried that it will ruin everyone's interest...
Crown Princess Lu only ate one mooncake herself, and gave one of the remaining three mooncakes to her son Zhu Yunwen, and the other two to the younger Zhu Yunxi.
In front of outsiders, Lu has always been very good at conducting herself.
This is why, after the death of the original Crown Princess Chang, she became the Crown Princess.
Looking at Zhu Yunxi with a fond look on her face, after eating moon cakes for a while, she stood up again and went to mediate the princes and princesses who had some minor conflicts due to some things.
It was handled very appropriately, and the sentence "A sister-in-law is like a mother" was vividly interpreted.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma took such a scene into their eyes and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
I think this daughter-in-law is pretty good.
To be honest, she is much more capable than the original eldest daughter-in-law.
After a while, Lu took Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi to a place a certain distance away from Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, and asked them to say some auspicious words to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, and kowtow to them.
Zhu Yunwen had no stage fright and said some auspicious words fluently, and knelt down to kowtow to Lao Zhu and his wife.
He also said that he had not seen Grandma Huang for a while and how much he missed him. He hoped that Grandma Huang would get better soon and that he could be hugged by Grandma Huang again in the future.
With the innocence of a child.
Both Lao Zhu and Queen Ma were so happy that they couldn't see the difference between them.
I think Yunwen's grandson is really good, he is smart and very lovable.
But when it was Zhu Yunxi's turn, it didn't work.
Zhu Yunxi stood there looking restrained and at a loss, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Crown Princess Lu immediately bent down to Zhu Yunxi's side and taught him sentence by sentence.
Under Lu's teaching, Zhu Yunxi said some auspicious words and kowtowed to Lao Zhu and his wife.
But Zhu Yunxi's performance was directly compared to that of Zhu Yunwen just now, and he was inferior.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen who looked like a little adult, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi who lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. He felt that Yunwen's grandson was really good.
He was very sensible and filial at a young age.
Although it's not as good as Heroes, it's still pretty good.
Compared with Yunwen, Yunxi is a little far behind...
However, what Lao Zhu didn't know was that for this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Ms. Lu began to quietly teach Zhu Yunwen what to say and how to act more than a month in advance.
As for Zhu Yunxi, he has never taught it.
What Zhu Yunwen said today was something Lu had begun to ponder and teach a long time ago.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange for Zhu Yunxi, who is almost one year younger than Zhu Yunxi, to perform well.
Zhu Yuanzhang left Queen Ma.
When he came to Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, he knelt down and picked them up with one arm.
Holding my two grandsons in my arms makes me happier than holding my own son.
Zhu Yun chirped and kissed Lao Zhu, which made Lao Zhu happy.
Not long after Lao Zhu hugged him, Zhu Yunwen struggled to get off.
"Didn't you just say that you wanted Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang to hug you?
Why did Grandpa Huang only hold me for a while, but you refused to let me hold him? "
Zhu Yunwen said: "My grandson is eight years old and he is very heavy. Grandpa Huang has to do so many things every day, which makes him very tired. Just let Grandpa Huang hold him for a short time, but not for too long."
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi and said: "Brother, let's go down. If Grandpa Huang holds him for too long, Grandpa Huang will be tired."
Zhu Yunxi nodded obediently and prepared to go down.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he kissed each of his two eldest grandsons on the face.
"I'm not tired, Grandpa Huang is not tired! Grandpa Huang's body is strong!"
Madam Lu watched this scene with a smile on her face.
She knew that through this incident, Emperor Yunzhen's position became more stable.
As long as he operates properly and follows this trend, Zhu Yunxi will have no way to compete with Yunwen!
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged them for a while, then put his two grandsons down, rubbed their heads, and let them play.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen holding the timid Zhu Yunxi's hand and leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile in his eyes.
This grandson, Yunwen, will definitely do well to become the emperor in the future!
The Emperor Yongle mentioned by Han Cheng must be him!
…
And it was at this time that the real Emperor Yongle came to Shouning Palace with a heavy heart...
