Queen Ma entered the royal study first.
Zhu Di and Zhu Bai were waiting outside.
Zhu Di, who had been confused since just now, asked Zhu Bai in a low voice: "What's going on?"
When Zhu Bai told him about wearing the wrong clothes, Zhu Di suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He frowned: "If there are still officials to sue, what should we do?"
Zhu Bai smiled: "Don't worry, my mother is wise and my father is majestic, so I will naturally handle this matter properly."
Queen Ma and Lao Zhu have one thing in common, that is, they are protective of the calf.
As long as they recognize Xu Changying as their child, they will protect her at all costs.
Besides, since everyone has entered the palace, the emperor and queen naturally have the control over what they wear and eat.
Anyone who comes to compete blindly is seeking death.
Zhu Di understood immediately when he heard this, and raised his hand to Zhu Bai: "Thank you very much. Fourth brother owes you a big favor."
Zhu Bai waved his hand with a smile: "No, no thank you. If my brother and I are hunted down in the future, my fourth brother will just remember today's kindness and save and take me in."
Zhu Di smiled: "Twelfth brother, you are serious. Father and eldest brother both like you so much, how could you be put into such a predicament..."
They don't know how, but their descendant Zhu Yunwen can.
Zhu Bai sighed secretly and asked Zhu Di: "Just say whether you agree or not."
Zhu Di said seriously: "If my twelfth brother is in trouble, I will naturally go through fire and water to rescue you."
Zhu Bai held his hand: "Okay. Fourth brother must remember this sentence."
Just as he was talking, Xu Da came out.
When Zhu Di saw his father-in-law, his face turned red again and he hurriedly saluted Xu Da.
Xu Da hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, returned the courtesy, and left.
Erhu over there came over and asked them to come in.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Di: "It's really easy for you, a bastard. In this case, you can treat Miss Xu well."
Zhu Di's face was hot and he hurriedly saluted: "I understand."
The eunuch from outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, the beauties you selected have arrived."
Zhu Bai secretly rolled his eyes: Zhu Yuanzhang, you are an old pervert, you are shameless in choosing a concubine in front of your wife.
Besides, there are already so many beauties in the harem, you still have to choose! !
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to Zhu Biao: "Come, Biao'er, since I gave my fourth wife, I can't neglect you. You have only given me a grandson until now, which is too few. These beauties were carefully selected by me. They are all young ladies of pure origins and well-educated people. Take them all back, and remember that the rain and dew will catch them all, and more children will bring you more blessings."
Zhu Bai looked out the door in shock.
The rain outside finally stopped again.
Then the eunuch announced the names and ages of each beauty in a high-pitched voice: "Cui Qing is fifteen years old, the daughter of Cui Liang, the Minister of Rites, and Lu Lian'er is fifteen years old, the daughter of Lu Ben, the Minister of Official Affairs..."
Zhu Bai shuddered: Aha, the source of the disaster has been found! !
This Lu family, it turned out that she had just come to Zhu Biao at this moment.
In other words, he still has plenty of opportunities to prevent Zhu Yunwen's birth.
That Lu family is fair-skinned and beautiful, with plump hips and a slim waist. She is indeed beautiful.
Zhu Biao looked at Lu, his eyes bright, and his usually pale face was flushed, just like the way Zhu Di looked at Xu Changying just now.
Trouble...
If Zhu Biao is attracted to Lu, wouldn't it be a matter of time before Zhu Yunwen was born sooner or later?
Zhu Bai was shocked when he heard someone shouting: "No!"
There was silence in the imperial study room.
Halfway through reporting, the eunuch's voice suddenly stopped and he opened his mouth and did not dare to move.
Everyone stared at Zhu Bai in astonishment.
Only then did Zhu Bai realize that the sound just now was him shouting out what was in his heart, and he added with a smile: "No."
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood because his two sons were getting married. Suddenly he heard Zhu Bai popping up to make trouble again. His face turned dark and he asked, "What are you going to do again?"
Zhu Bai walked over, took Lu's hand and said, "Father, this sister is so beautiful, give it to me."
Not to mention whether it is needed or not, he is going to get this vixen back today anyway, and he will never give her a chance to give birth to Zhu Yunwen! !
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him for a long time and suddenly laughed.
Then everyone else started laughing.
Even the beauties covered their mouths and laughed.
This child is indeed different from others.
He is only seven years old, and may not even understand the specific role of beauty...
Zhu Bai knew that at his age, it was a bit shocking to compete with his brother for a woman, but he couldn't care less about it now.
He said to Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly: "Beauty is a disaster. Your Royal Highness is weak and cannot bear the temptation of such a beauty sucking blood and energy every day. It is not suitable to give it to any brother. Let her harm me."
As the old saying goes, one drop of essence and ten drops of blood.
Zhu Biao only visits his concubine once in ten days. After getting a beauty like Lu Lian'er, he will definitely "sing joyfully" every night.
No wonder his body was exhausted later and he died earlier than Lao Zhu.
Zhu Bai said these words absolutely sincerely.
Unfortunately, it sounded like nonsense to Zhu Yuanzhang, like a child parroting in order to grab a toy.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped laughing: "Don't talk nonsense, wait until you grow up. Father will naturally help you choose a few beautiful women. The men of our Zhu family want to have a group of wives and concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren."
Zhu Bai was anxious, hugged Lu Lian'er and said, "I don't want any other woman, I want this sister."
Lu Lian'er's face turned red and she didn't know what to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he took off his shoes again: "You little bastard, it's not over yet. You can snatch the woman I gave to your brother as a reward?! Let go, or I'll beat you to death."
Queen Ma quickly stopped Zhu Yuanzhang and winked at the eunuchs.
The eunuchs came up, one hugged Zhu Bai and pulled him away, and the other waved to the beauties.
Then the beauties hurriedly followed the eunuch to the East Palace.
After such a fuss, Zhu Yuanzhang felt his forehead hurt when he saw Zhu Bai, and waved to Zhu Bai: "Gui Zi, don't come to the Imperial Study Room these days. Let me take a breather."
Zhu Bai could only watch Zhu Biao turn around and go out.
Zhu Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When he saw Lu Lian'er just now, his little heart was beating like crazy. He didn't expect that Zhu Bai would jump out and insist on taking away Lu Lian'er. He just wanted to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang and catch Zhu Bai and spank him hard: "Let you grab it, let you grab it. It's not easy for your brother to have a woman he likes, you The little ones are here to grab it too. What are you doing to grab it? Playing in the mud with you, are you going to catch me?"
At this moment, he secretly regretted it and reflected deeply: I want to kill brothers for the sake of a woman. Do I really love brothers as much as I think I do?
-----
Today it is Li Shanchang's turn to be on duty at the cabinet.
As soon as he came out of the palace, he saw Liu Bowen waiting by the roadside.
The sight of Liu Bowen standing under the dripping willows with a smile made Li Shanchang's heart pound.
Among civil servants, he was only afraid of Liu Bowen.
This guy is too smart. He knows everything from astronomy to geography.
Especially those eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, making him feel that his little thoughts were invisible.
