Zhu Ru blushed and said, "I know, then it's 20%."

Lao Zhu asked someone to call Feng Sheng back, told the story in front of Zhu Zhu, and once again sternly warned Feng Sheng to "discipline his daughter well."

Feng Sheng was very ashamed when he heard that Feng Qingqing dared to scold Zhu Xi, forcing Zhu Xi to run away from home and come to Lao Zhu.

I went back and wrote a 10,000-word letter home to Feng Qingqing and taught her a lesson.

Feng Qingqing originally regretted that he had forced Zhu Chu away, but now he was even more ashamed.

Actually, the cost of the palace is a bit tight, but not to the point she said.

Her method of persuading Zhu Rui was too drastic.

Zhu Bai quietly asked the Kaifeng Guanya Bureau to send Feng Qingqing five hundred taels of silver.

A few days later, Zhu Biao suggested to Lao Zhu in the morning meeting that he should be relegated to Yunnan for reflection. The fiefdom and salary would remain unchanged, and his family members would still stay in Kaifeng.

Since it was Zhu Biao who brought it up, the officials had nothing to say.

Lao Zhu asked people to send orders to Kaifeng and Yunnan at the same time, and sent guards to send Zhu Zhu directly to Yunnan.

When he left, Lao Zhu told him: "Stop running around. After a while, you will feel homesick, and we will bring you back to Kaifeng."

Zhu Xi saluted: "I understand."

Lao Zhu originally planned to transfer Zhu Xi back to Kaifeng as long as he wrote back to complain.

As a result, Zhu Xi didn't even write a letter to Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

Lao Zhu was worried and asked Zhu Bai: "Has your fifth brother written to you?"

Zhu Bai took out Zhu Xi's letter and said, "It's written, only six words."

Lao Zhu took it and looked at it. It said: "I am happy here and don't think about Bian."

Is there any trace of the pain and depression of being relegated and exiled?

Lao Zhu was full of suspicion and said to Zhu Bai: "Ask him, don't be caught by someone and dare not speak out."

Zhu Bai wrote back and asked Zhu Ru: "Are the conditions in Yunnan good? Does Fifth Brother want to return to Kaifeng?"

Zhu Ju wrote back: "Okay, very good. There are many herbal medicines in Yunnan that are not available in Yingtian, and the herbal resources are rich. I am busy identifying newly discovered plants every day and supplementing the "Herbal for Famine Rescue". I am so happy that I will not go back to Kaifeng. , it’s good to just stay here.”

Lao Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then let him stay there for a while. Also give Feng Qingqing a cold shoulder, so that the woman will not know her fault and do this again in the future."

-----

Although Lao Zhu did not punish Zhu Ping severely, he was obviously very angry at what Zhu Ping had done before.

Every time I wrote to Zhu Xi in the past two years, I scolded him.

As a son, no matter how old he is, he still hopes to hear his father's praise, not to mention that he has realized that Zhu Bai was trying to fulfill him at that time. He becomes more and more confident and decadent.

Deng Zhiqiu became pregnant last year and gave birth to a son to Zhu Ping at the beginning of this year.

The next three younger brothers all became fathers before Zhu Ping.

So for Zhu Xi, this child was a lucky star and came just in time.

Zhu Ping was so happy that he named the child Zhu Shangbing and immediately sent a letter to Lao Zhu to announce the good news.

Lao Zhu received Zhu Ping's letter announcing the good news, and issued an imperial edict to consecrate the child as heir apparent. He also asked people to send countless rewards.

However, the person who was awarded the gold certificate was not Deng Zhiqiu but Wang Xiaoyue.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, this son will also be counted in Wang Xiaoyue's name in the future.

Lao Zhu also told Wang Xiaoyue to raise this child well, making sure that he is both civil and military, and knows integrity and loyalty.

Deng Zhiqiu was furious, and regardless of the fact that he was still in confinement, he threw things in the room and cried bitterly.

"Why? I was pregnant for ten months, and the child I gave birth to after nine months of hard work must be counted on that woman. Why should I raise my son for her, and why should I call her mother? I don't accept it, it's not fair."

Zhu Fang hugged Deng Zhiqiu: "No matter what the father says, you are the biological mother of the child. Besides, the father is not here. We said that the child was raised by Wang Xiaoyue, and the father doesn't know whether it is true or not. The worst is that the father will send someone. If you come to check, I will take Wang Xiaoyue with you for a few days."

Deng Zhiqiu became more and more angry: "What about me? Who am I? When I see my son in the future, I still need that woman's permission."

It's not like Zhu Ping didn't know what was going on when Concubine Li Shu wanted to see Zhu Ping.

Zhu Xi actually used these words to deal with her.

Zhu Xi: "You are my princess."

Deng Zhiqiu pushed him out: "You're a useless thing. You can say nice things to coax me. There's nothing you can do if something goes wrong."

Zhu Ming was poked at the painful spot and became furious: "Stop talking nonsense. You are really getting more and more unruly."

In fact, it is good for the child to be recorded in Wang Xiaoyue's name. After all, he is the eldest son, so it is logical for him to inherit the title of King of Qin in the future.

Deng Zhiqiu enjoys better treatment in the palace than Wang Xiaoyue, so why should he dwell on this false reputation?

It's been so many years and so many things have happened, why doesn't Deng Zhiqiu restrain himself?

Deng Zhiqiu was startled, clenched his clothes tightly, and stared at Zhu Xi.

Seeing Deng Zhiqiu's frightened face, Zhu Fang regretted that he had said it too harshly, but with so many people staring at him, he couldn't keep his face down, so he came to coax Deng Zhiqiu again.

Moreover, he must let Deng Zhiqiu accept the matter of whom his son recognized as his mother.

Otherwise, Deng Zhiqiu would make trouble from time to time, which would be bad for the children.

It also made the prince's family restless.

Now that Lao Zhu has a strong opinion of him, Lao Zhu must not be allowed to hear any negative news about him again.

Zhu Ping walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

Deng Zhiqiu's feet went limp and he sat on the ground.

The servants in the palace have always disliked Deng Zhiqiu.

Although Deng Zhiqiu was always in charge, everyone called her empress in front of Deng Zhiqiu.

But behind the scenes, they only regarded Wang Xiaoyue as the princess and Deng Zhiqiu as "that woman".

Now that Zhu Fang said such serious words to Deng Zhiqiu, everyone felt that Deng Zhiqiu's good days were over.

Three meals a day, including cold tea and coarse rice, were not served so attentively.

Deng Zhiqiu frowned and asked the maid: "I am in confinement, so I naturally need to drink some hot soup and hot water. Why are they always cold?"

When she was married to Zhu Xi, she brought a total of four maids with her.

One was killed by Zhu Xi, and the other was frightened and went crazy.

Now of the remaining two, the smarter and more diligent one has been transferred to the front hall to serve tea and water.

The maid sighed: "My dearest lady, these servants begged grandpa and grandma to get these. Now we are no better than before, so you have to make do with a few bites. I will make them for you tomorrow."

She is not a maid in charge. The housekeeper asked her to find the maid in charge.

But the maid in charge refused to help Deng Zhiqiu ask for hot soup and rice, saying that she was not free.

Pushing and pushing.

Deng Zhiqiu also knew that this was the only maid left by his side, and being willing to help her get tea and water was considered loyal.

I could only swallow my anger, barely eat a few mouthfuls, and then said, "Where is the prince now? I want to see him and pick him up."

The dowry maid lowered her voice: "His Royal Highness is now at the princess's place. Except for the princess and the prince, no one else can see him easily. Why should we go and find trouble for ourselves. You'd better rest and wait until the confinement period is over."
